The Columbia will leave San Fran cisco for this port this morning, re suming her old run after having under gone extensive repair. A the Elder, which has been running temporarily In her stead, came In yesterday with out any passengers, the Columbia will undoubtedly have an unusually large list on thl trip. Tho George W. Elder arrived In from San Francisco yesterday after noon and, after picking up a pilot at the O. It. A N. dock, proceeded to Portland. She carried no passengers but bnd a good cargo of freight. The Elder will shortly be put In trim for the Cape Nome trnde, sailing from thl port In about a month with a cargo of freight and a large number of pa senders. The re-Insurance quotation on the ship Annie Thnmaa now out 242 dny from Cardiff for Acapulco, haa been Increased to 80 per cent. This virtu ally means the giving up of the ves sel aa lost. Other overdue vesela are th) Harry Clement, 242 days out from Hamburg for Kalo Chow, on which 25 per cent reinsurance la quoted, and the Lydgitte 318 day from New York for Shanghai. The latter la 'quoted at IS per cent. The Taconia Newa say: "Astoria has offered a bounty of five cents per head for every rat dead or alive turned over to the chief of police. Thl should prove a grand chance for the boya at the mouth of the Columbia river. Tho greater portion of Astoria I built upon wharve, beneath which the ro dent fairly swarm." The email num ber of rata presented to the chief of police for the bounty thus far goes to show that there are by far less rodent In thl city than waa at first generally auppoBcd. There are many places where conditions nre much more favorable for the pesta than In Aatorla, Andrew Blrge narrowly escaped death from drowning at Hammond Wednesday night. He waa a member of the party of local Ited Men who went to that place to pay a fraternal visit to the Hammond lodge. After the party had passed from the boat to the wharf, Blrge, who waa walking close to the edge In the darkness, slip ped and Ml Into the bay. Very luck ily, a head-line was discovered on the dock by one of the party and with the aid of thla Blrge waa finally rescued. Had It not been for the presence of the line there Is little question that Blrge would have drowned, as there waa no possible way of getting out of the wa tr unaided. The fUnlng achooner Jessie appeared off the mouth of the river late yes terday afternoon having just returned Pears' Its least virtue is that it lasts so. Soap is for comfort; the clean are comfortable. from (he halibut banks In tho North, Tho belief at first prevailed that she mlg!it come Into port before dark but report from the Cape stated that the b.ir w rough and very little wind prevailed and It was finally concluded that the Jessie would lay outside dur lug the night and come In on the tide In the morning. There Is every reason to believe that the Jensle has had a most successful trip. She has been out only a few day and had plenty of supplies. It la reasonable to conclude therefore, that she had a good catch and Is coming home to discharge her load. Hud the Jessie been forced to put In because of distress she wouK not have come as far as Astoria, making for Grays harbor or some other nearer port. Her owners In this city are sufficiently well satisfied to wear a most expansive smile, at any rate, over the prosiwcts. DKCLINM OF ALASKAN SALMON Hource of Bupply May Soon He I'rac lically Eliminated. While Alaska led the Pad lie coast In the amount of Its salmon pack the past season, with a total of over 1,000,000 ruses. It Is predicted that that source of supply will soon be practically dim lusted unless drastic measures are adopted Immediately In order to pre vent further diminution of the fish supply. The West Coast Trade says Special Agent A. M. Kutihln of the treasury department, who has been In Vestlgstlng the condition of the north em tlKherles. has Just made a report, In It he aaya; 'The uniform conclu slon of those who have given Invrstl gallon and thought to this subject I that th Alaska fisheries are doomed unless swift and thirough measure are put In operation to preserve those which have not yet felt the effect of the destructive practices that have prevailed from the beginning, and to restore those that are rapidly ap proarhing extinction. But one rem edy, of course. Is available, to-wit: generoua system of propagation, a re strlctlon of the number of canneries, a limitation of the pack at each fish ery, and perhaps a curtailment of the flrhing season as the different condl tlons In the several regions would seem to demand." Mr. Kuti hln points out that w hlle there has been a steady Increase In the output of Alaskan sal mon, this has been accomplished only through the use of Improved appll ances and the development of new dlS' trlcla. In Southeastern Alaska the pack Is steadily decreasing and many canneries have been forced to close, The group of Karluk and Chlgnlc fish erles. which put up 400,000 cases In palmy day, decreased to 241.M4 case the past season, and many similar In stances are cited. The Increase has been In Bchrlng sea, where now a pack of 500,000 cases is put up, com prising halt of the Aluskan pack. Alaska has a hatchery output of from 3.000,000 to 8,000,000 fry a year, while the state of Washington maintains hatcheries turning out 85,000,000 salmon annually. ASTOKIA AND THE DALLES. What May Be Expected From United Action. The Dallee Tlmea-Mountalneer. The Tlmes-Mountnlneer has frequent ly mentioned that some point at the mouth of the Columbia river was des tined to become the principal shipping port for the Northwest; that because of Ita magntflcant harbor, deep and safe channel and well protected port, there could be nothing to prevent a great city growing up at or near th place where the river of Oregon Jolna with the mighty Pacific ocean. Nature has so favored that place, and the ordina tion of nature cannot be overcome. Astoria, Warrenton and Flavel will some day be one continuous city with docks and wharves reaching for miles along their river front, and the ship ping of the Inland Empire will And an outlet through their channels. Astoria Is at present the principal city at the mouth of the river, there fore The Dalles bus much In common with Astoria, for to It we must look eventually as the point from which we must ship our products to the markets of the world. Hence It Is The Dalles appreciates the visit which Astoria's principal business men have made to thla city. We have become acquainted with them, and they have learned of our resources. They will not be able to Judse of the vastness of the com merce to tie had from the Inland Em pire, and will arrange to provide means for handling It. NOTICE TO REPUBLICAN DELE GATES TO THE COUNTY CON VENTION.

JUST A POINTER FOR FUTUPE The EuursiunlstH Keturn I'rom tht Gateway City and Are Loud in Tbcir I'ralses of Kcccpt ion. The steamer Lurlinc arrived In port from The Datl-a about daybreak ye terd.iy morning with ull the excursion ists on board, well and happy, and one and all more than phased with their trip to the gateway city of the Inland Empire. While It was too early to read It "by the dawn's early light," the Lur llne bore upon Ita side a huge sign r-.-udlng "The First Through Shipment of Wheat From The Dalle to Aito rl i." The shipment was a consignment t.i FUi-r Hrcs., of this city, and the receipt given In The Dulles by the ciptblu of the Lurllne will be framed and hung In the office a the "pioneer through shipment" of the Inlanders. In speaking of the shipment of wheat Captain Whitehead of the Lur llne ald: "If lh people up there had only known In time that the Lurllne would accept freight for Astoria direct, we could have brought down car loads of II. As It wss, after the wheat was loaded, we took shipments of eggs, middlings and other stuff. Let me tell you tbe people of The Dalles are only too anxious to ship to Astoria direct Why." he continued, "Agent Under wood at The Dalles told me he be lieved !t would pay a boat to run be tween The Dalles and Astoria, even now, before the portage road Is fin ished." The history of the trip to and from The Dalles is told by ail who were fortunate enough to have been mem ber of the party In about the same general terms, namtiy, "We had a grand, glorious good time; a royal wel come by our hosts at The Dalles; a most Interesting and Instructive stay among the good people of that city and a pleasant voyage home." The best thing about the trip Is that a number of the gentlemen who went on the excursion and who were some what skeptical aa to the portage rail road and ultimate results to be real ized from Its building and operation, returned borne thoroughly convinced not only of the practicability of the scheme but satisfied that the portage rond will be built and operated. Chair man Parker of the Push Club and Judge Gray were among those inclined to "want to see" before they believed. Both of them are more than satisfied that tho representations heretofore made by The Dalles people have been based cn facts. In speaking of his doubts. Judge Gray, yesterday, said: "What convinced me more than anything else of the earnestness of the men building the portage railroad and their determination to carry out to the letter the plans they have out lined, Is the manner in which they are doinK the work. For Instance they ere building a bridge over a gully Borne 70 feel In height, and It Is cost ing them thousands of dollars. Now If the builders of the road were not In eurnest they would have graded the roadbed up to one side of the gully and then commenced grading on the other side of It, saying 'the bridge will be built bye and bye, when the road Is all graded.' But they are not doing this. They are saying Instead 'we want this road In running order as quick as we can build it, bridges and all,' and they are completing their road as they go along and completing it In a manner and In such a way that there can be no, doubt but what the road la Intended for use and not for the pur pose of buncoing people Into Investing capital. "The fact Is," continued Judge Gray, "the people of The Dalles believe the portage road Is their salvation and they sent us home believing It. and, be lieving, toe, that It will be a long stride forwurd for Astoria when It Is In oper ation." A brief resume of the itinerary of the trip Is as follows: Leaving Astoria the Lurllne steamed steadily along until Vancouver was reached at about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning where a land ing was made In order to allow Captain Charles Kamm to come aboard. The trip resumed, the locks at the Cas cades were reached about 9:30 Tues day morning, where a stop of an hour was made In order to give the excur sionists an opportunity of Inspecting the magntflcant piece of engineering work done by the government em ployes. The Dalles was reached about 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. There was a delegation of several hundred cltl tens. headed by a brass band, in wait ing on the wharf, and the excursion ists were escorted to the Commercial Club where the formal addresses of welcome and responses were made. Judge Bennett of The Dalles welcomed the Astorians and, in response, Presi dent Van Dusen of the Astoria cham ber of commerce, President Parker of the Push Club, Judge Gray, J. W. Welch and D. K. "Warren made Bhort addresses. The excursionists were then taken on a special train to the magntflcant fall of Celllo, where they remained several hour, being entertained between sight- cclni trip by Mr, Scufert, at hi fruit ranch and cannery. Upturning to The Dalle the Asto rians had barely time to prepare for the grand banquet given them on Tues day night at the Umatilla hotel. Cov er were laid for about two hundred people and the table were filed. The usual toasts and response were made and at the end of four hours of feast ing the visitor retired to rest tip for Wedne1ay' work. On Wednesday morning citizens took small parties of Astorians In hand and drove them about the country. The business party wa taken In charge by President Harris of the portage road. It consisted of B. Van Dusen, F. L. Parker, II. C. Thompson, C. N. Carnalian, Samuel Adair, E. P. Parker, J. II. D. Gray and Frank Woodfield, of Astoria; ex-Governor Moody and Mr. Whelden, of The Dalle. This party walked over the line of the portage railroad until convinced that it was hiring built for use. As to the stability of the work being done there can be no question, while the feasibility of the scheme haa been dem onstrated until reasonable doubt as to Its ultimate success, If properly back ed by support, Is an Impossibility. President Harris stated the portage railroad would be ready for business by May 1 next but that the steamers and barges to be run In connection with it would not be ready before July 1 rext, in time, however, to handle this yenr's grain crop. President Har ris also said that Senator Turner, one of the directors of the road, was ex pected from Washington and as soon as poMMlble after his arrivel the direc tors would v lull Astoria to arrange for terminal facilities. The return trip home waa comment ed at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. A stop was made at Vancouver and the visitors were shown over the city and through the barracks. Thence homeward, the Lurllne reaching her dock here at o'clock yesterday morn ing, having made the trip without an accident or disagreeable happening of any kind. All the excursionists are loud in their praises of the reception and entertain ment by the citizens of The Dalles; the business men are elated over the cer tainty of the success of the portage railroad and one and all, young and old, have only praises for the treat ment given them by Captain White head and the crew of the Lurllne. In speaking of the departure of the Astorians from The Dalles the Times Mountaineer aaya: "The Astoria, vis itors left at I o'clock this afternoon for their homes at the mouth of the river, and a large crowd of Dalles people assembled at the dock to see them off. As the Lurllne left the dock three rousing cheers were given for the peo ple of Astoria by tbe people on shore, and In return three cheers and a Uger were given for The Dalles by the vlS' ttors." Editorially, that papr comments on the excursion as follows: "An open river to the sea has long been a dream of The Dalles and sur rounding country, but It has never been fully realized until today. We have j long looked for the time when cargoes of the products of the Inland Empire would tloat untrammeled to a port where they would be loaded upon the ocean travelers and seek the markets of the world, and that waiting has borne fruit. Mr. F. A. Fisher, cf the firm of Fisher Bros., of Astoria, bought a quantity of wheat at The Dalles w arehouses today and shipped It direct to Astoria today by the steamer Lur llne. This is only the beginning of what will surely follow. In the future the wheat of the Inland Empire the great Columbia valley will find its way to the mouth of the river, where it will be handled at less cost than in the past and will realise to the farm ers from two to three cents more than In past years. Wasco county farmers may well lake oft their hats to Mr. Fisher for being the pioneer from the mouth of the river in the w heat market of Eastern Oregon." REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.
