Another scow load of clay for the Portland Pottery works went up the river from the clay banks on the Lewis and Clark veaterduy. Every time such a barge ocs up the river it Is a reproach to the enterprise ot As torla. The Portland people can at' ford to man a scow, hire a tug and haul it to the clay banks; mine the clay and load the scow; tow it back to Portland and unload it and then manufacture It into tiling and the thousand and one things that come from the polter'a hands that are In dally use and are fold to the people ot Astoria and the aurroundlng coun try. Every penny ot expense up to the cost of manufacture la treble what It would be If Astoria parties mined and hauled the clay and manufactured it here. Tet the Portland potter have grown rich opd there is no pottery In Astoria. . . A business man who watched the scow go up the river yesterday said: "Thsre goes our mud. In a few weeks we will be buying It back and paying the expenses. One has no idea of the amount of tiling and pottery manufactures that are used In the course ot a year In this county and towns In other counties tributary to Astoria. The house sales alone, consid ering the cheapness of the raw mater ial, would go a long way towards sup porting a pottery here. Of course, Portland has the start and I suppose it will be years before capital here will dare venture upon their field of in vestment, but some day there will he someone with foresight enough to util ize the products nature has planted at our very doors." "GINGER" GOT THE DUCK. Lumberman Callahan in the Role ot a Dog Trainer. R. C. Callahan, of the Rainier Cedar Shingle Company, Is an ardent admirer of outdoor sports, especially duck shooting. He takes more pleasure In good gun and a thoroughbred dog than F. O. Ehrllch does, and Ehrllch has had experience, with Mr. Callahan as a surgeon but that's another story. Intimate friends say that Mr. Calla han has killed two ducks In a three days' hunt and could have accomplish ed more had It not oeen for his sys tem of training his pet dog, "Ginger." Callahan believes In using kind lan guage to all animals, arguing that aoft words will accomplish more than hard measure that Is until recently. Ac cording to a friend of hla, the other day while wallowing In the mud of the Duwaiulsh flats after an 'insuapectlng duck or two, Mr. Callahan, to demon strate his position, shot a duck and called "(linger" to retrieve same In the following lungouge: "Ginger! Kindly chase the duck; that's a nice dog." "Ginger," according to our Inform ant, "struck, out a yard of tongue, beamed on the speaker, wagged Ills tall approvingly, but refused to move." "Now, pl"se, Ginger, d get tl:at bird, and you shall have a beefsteak In the morning," pleaded Callahan. "Ginger," didn't move, and further persuasion being useless, the shingle wholesub r, whose patlen :e was ex hausted, yelled: "Gel out of here, and blankety-blank ulck, loo, you good-for-no'.hlng cur." And "Ginger" wax lifted by Ida mas ter's boot In the direction of the flut tering bird. "Ginger" got the duck. 'TWAS INDEED GRAND OPERA Tho lloston Lyrlca Give an Excellent Performance to a Good House. A large, fashionable and muslc-lov Ing audience greeted the Boston Lyric Opera Company on the occasion of their second appearance at Flsher'a opera house lost night and the people were more thun well repaid. The bill was Verdl'a tuneful opera "II Trova tore," one of the beat-known and moat' admired of the stores of operaa that compose the repertoires of the best companies now before the public. So many soloe and duets hua Trovutore furnlHhed the singers of the world, out able of professionals, that parts of It are household favorites In every land and are sung In every tongue. Unfortunately the opera houae here la not nearly so well adupted to the production of grand opera as it Is to comic oM-ra and hence some of the soloists last night were heard to a disadvantage on account of the acous tic properties, the finer shadings of the music being lost. This was one draw back but even a more serious one waa the orchestra. To an orchestra com poaed partly of foreign and partly ot home muaiclans, it may be forgiven If all the runs, trills and more difficult pashagea of the solos and duo are not correctly played, but when an or chestra of musk-tans, no matter wheth- er they even played together before or not, fall down on so familiar a thing as the "Anvil Chorus," and throw the chorus out, time and again, no excuse la poaalble for it The singing of all the prlnclpala was deserving ot special mention and es pectally that of Mlsa Nllaon and Frank Maalln. The latter waa in good voice and sang hla role In a superb manner, The singing of Domenlco Rusao was, aa usual, all that could be expected of an artist of hla ability, and his use of Italian seemed perfectly in place and added a charm to the opera rather than detracting from it The work of the chorus, and especial ly the sub-chorus, was excellent throughout. It Is a well balanced or- gantxatlon, too atrong for the present orchestra, but, fortunately, not depen dent entirely upon that auxiliary, aa the chorua. after the break in the Anvil Chorus, led rather than followed, and, as stated, did remarkably well As a musical organisation, the Bos ton Opera Company is, by far, the best that bos ever vlblted Astoria and they richly deserve a generous patronage, They will be seen tonight even to a better advantage than before In this city, and It will be the last oppor tunity to hear them. The bill will be the well-known catchy, yet musical, condc opera "Boccaccio." VENTURE OF THE JESSIE. Some Important Resulta to Arise From Her Preaent Trip. So much haa been sold about the halibut Ashing schooner Jessie, that Bailed from thla port on Its second ven ture Tuesday, that her movements now seem an old story. It must not be forgotten that the Jessie will deter mine this trip whether Astoria will add another great Ashing Industry to the salmon trade it has, or whether there Is no hope of It On .her last venture the Jessie re turned without fl&h but satisfied the could havecaught fish had she been pro visioned to stay out longer. This time there will be no such excuse. Captain Ilarryman will sail the schooner and do nothing else and Captain McKlnnon will superintend the fishing and do nothing else. If fish are not found in one place the schooner will go to an other bonk and yet another until she reaches the north, say Fort Wrangle, as she has an abundance of provisions for a long cruise and has orders not to come In until th,y are exhausted. If the present trip proves a failure, halibut Ashing will most likely be abandoned, for this year at any rate, but if it proves a success there is no telling what the outcome will be as, next to salmon, the halibut is In great est demand, east and west, as a food Ash, and there is always a paying mar ket, no matter how great the catch. ' DEATH OF A PIONEER. Industrious Life of J. B. Knapp Comes to a Close. The death of J. B. Knaap, who passed away at his home at Lake River, . Washington, on Tuesday, re moves one of the pioneers of the lower Columbia river district An Industrious life came to a close when he passed away and hla loss will be felt far be ASK I'OK OXB OP OIK Taste Tasth Taste y- r r t Taste We Know Our Customers yond the community in which he spsn: nearly all of his busy career. Mr. Knapp waa 78 years of age, hav ing come to this state in 1852, when he located on the present site of Knappton, across the river from As toria, where ia now one of the largeat lumbering industries on the Columbia river. He also founded the town of Knappa, near Astoria, on the Oregin side of the river. BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER. Believed to Be That of One of the Boys RecenUy Drowned. It is believed that Tom Barber, a fisherman well known here, found in his net Tuesday night the body of either Lindstrom or Robinson, the two boys wb were drowned some three weeks ago, while out boating. If the body caught in the net was that ot one of the unfortunate boys, It will probably never be recovered now, as It escaped from the net and waa car ried away. Barber says he waa running bis net, which was drifting near the Desdemo na sands, and waa UfUng It every few feet to see whether he had any Ash or not Suddenly he found the net weighted and pulled it rapidly to the top, only to be horrified by seeing a human body, caught by one of the hands in the meshes nf the net The tight caused hlra to irop the net, but he at once procured a rope and, UfUng it gain, prepared to make fast to the body so as to anchor It to the shore. As the boat waa rowed close to the body Barber waa compelled by the ter rible stench to drop the net a second time, and thla time the body got free from the net and floated away. As well as Barber could see In the dim light the body was that of a young man or boy, smooth face, long hair, and was without a coat The description more nearly Qts that of Lindstrom than Robinson. As soon as the facts became known friends of the parents of the drowned boys made ar rangements to go to the locality where Barber's net caught the body and drag for It, but up to a late hour last night they had not returned. Barber says the body got away in about two fath oms of water. A DISAGREEABLE INCIDENT. A Hoodlum at the Olney School Brut ally Beats a Little Girl. The serious attention of the school directors Is called to an occurrence at the Olney school today, whereby Jean nette Lacey, the 7-year-old daughter of J. T. Lacey, local agent for the Von- couver Transportation Company, was brutally beaten by a young hoodlum who Is attending the school. The Lacey girl was taken to her home yesterday afternoon In a terri ble condition, her nose having been broken and her eyes nearly closed from swelling as a result of a blow from a club. The little girl was found In the base ment of the schoolhouse, shortly after the assault. In a daxed and bleeding Condition, and waa at once removed to the home of her parents. This Is but one of several complaints of atrocities of this nature that have come from the Olney school. That there Is a gang of hoodlums attend ing the school who should be either subjugated or expelled Is manifest from the above facts. It is an Instance which goes to shatter the arguments of those who are so free to deprecate corporal punishment In the schools, and suggests the wisdom of the school directors appointing at least one male teacher at the Olney school, with authority to use a club when necessary.

Gossip Among the Rank and File of the Several Organizations. The citizens will hold their county ccnventlon at the courthouse Saturday afternoon of this week, the service opening at 2:30. As a large number of the democratic brethren are expect ed to be present the occasion will be started without prayer. The citizens' committee haa undertaken to call the clans together In the following notice: "A mass meeting of all ciUzens irres pecUve of party will be held at the court house In the City of Astoria on Saturday, April ZL 190 , at 1:30 p. m., for the purpose of nominating a county ticket for Clatsop county and transact In? auch other business aa may come before the assembly." Surely, it will be an interesting gathering. There will be present no doubt a goodly number of republic-ana who are out at the el bows of official power remnants from the "yard-wide, all-wool' bolt as it were, because there are too many re publicans in the county to give each an office. Then, too, there will be a fair sprinkling of the "unterrifled" demo cratic Josephs, with their coats of many colors, shading all the way from Jack aonlan rustic to BryanlsUc blue. Last, and by all odds least will be the bleed ing, benign populists, with their self sacrificing disposition to save their suffering brethren from the turmoils of official extravagance and political damnation, burning and everlasting. Just what the convention hopes to do, not one aeema to know except were one to take for granted the opinions of the twenty-and-one "leaders," ach one of whom is carrying about in his vest pocket a ticket which meets with his individual approbation and "which must go to insure success." Just which particular one of these multltudlous slates will best suit the peculiar tastes of those who propose to run things can best be set forth in the Astorlan next Sunday morning. At present it is, indeed, a merry muddle. The Democratic leaders have decided to press for nomination on the citi zens' legislative ticket if not their own an old man and a young man. Thla suggests the old story about "the tall and the short man" which used to be sprung upon the Immaculate and only Harvey of the Mornegonlan but veil! veil! "C. J.," who will never be hanged for stupidity when it comes to putting up political fences, naturally denies it, but his friends are now slapping "the boys" on the back and Imparting the information that he is carrying the senior legislative billet of the citizens ; about In his pocket and has been do ing so tor several days.

XMAS I'KESENT 1 IT Our Customers Know Us -O) CURRENT COMMENT o- -t! A man named G. Whiz committed suicide over in Washington a few days ago. Thla shows that even he whose name Is a household word Is not al ways happy. An Astoria student of human nature haa written a lengthy treatise on "Why Men Gamble." This whole subject ran be fully explained in Ave wordg; "Be cause they hope to win," Anyway, it matters little just how this coroner's scrap cornea out The man unfortunate enough to win cut will have something dead on his hands aside from his "late opponents," e The man who claims to have discov ered the north pole haa the advantage of those who don't believe him. In that they can't bring anybody Irora there to disprove the atorlea he tells. It is said that a Judge In far-away Tillamook pronounced Staynczstraw Baczynskl a citizen last week. If the Judge pronounced Staynsczstraw'a name at the same time he ought to go jiut lecturing. Pettigrew declarea that he will not retire from public life without a strug gle. But "Petty" seema to have for gotten that men already dead seldom are in good trim for gymnastic gyra tions. Old-time actors and actresses ar now having a controversy as to which ones among them appeared In the original production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." One would naturally think; that Instead of wrangling about it ia public the guilty parties would try to keep the matter quiet. e An up-river exchange takes occasion to announce that Mara; Twain haa de cided to quit living in England, and then goes on to say: "Over there, be fore laughing at Mark's Jokes Just be cause he tells them, they insist on first finding out what there is to laugh at." All of which la no discredit to Mark, for that genius never did go much on furnishing diagrams and structural object lessons to explain that which everone but the real Englishman, you know, could understand at a. glance.
