"The Industrial West" Is the name of a new monthly magazine published In Seattle. It Is devoted to the dis semination of Information concerning the PiU'lfle Northwest, and especially concerning the opportunities for the profitable Investment of capital. It contains sixteen pages, heavily Illus trated and printed in clear type on a good quality of book paper. The federal commission appointed to locate the site for a dry-dock, com posed of Captain Henry Glass, Lieu tenant Philip Andrews and Lieutenant H. R. Stanford, of the navy department, are In the city. They arrived yester day morning and were entertained by Chairman Van Dusen, of the Chamber of Commerce, Early In the afternoon the engineers, accompanied by Chair man Van Dusen, Captain John Adair and others, went down the river on the government quarantine launch Electric. The party will probably leave up the river on an Investigating trip today, The run of Hah luring the past few days tins been, 'lulte satisfactory, A number of the old-time fishermen nave bi-ti nie dlmvuragud and have dtar ed thilr Intention to quit the fishing biinlness for Hie eeiuion. The late run to which the naherrnen had been look ing forward seems to have proved a failure thus fur and there la a gxneral fueling of discouragement. Th Aloaka Fishermen's Packing Company has a relic from the rulna of the lire Willi h destroyed their head quarters on Sunday night. It Is In the form of an ordinary alarm clock which, when nrw, probably cost In the neigh borhood of sixty cents. Hadly bsVU-red and burned, the clock was found on the morning after the fire ticking away merrily. It hud not missed a tick and anen the noon whistles blew on Monday the hands on the dial of the faithful llm-plete indicated th time "to a dot." i.. i l.-'.c Mayor Uerginan yesterday afternoon signed several ordinances, which bad been i.unwd by the council Monday night, among which were the ordinances authorising th ways and means com mittee to let a contract for street lights, exe-tidlng the time for complet ing the Thirty-eighth street Improve ment, accepting the Franklin avenue Improvement and providing for the Improvement of Commercial street be tween H.-vmth and Eighth streets. The buavbull torn has severul games In vlow for tho near future. A return game with the Torpeiloc. to be beld at Portland, Is being planned snd a challenge has been received from the Iluaco team fur a game at Long Beach on next Kunday. If arrangements can be ihudv this game will be played at that place and time. The 0. R. tc N. and the A. C. IL employes are also planning a match game for the benefit of the regatta fund. Details for the gume will be soon arranged. The Marahfleid Hun says the gaso line launch Union ran onto a rock on the headwaters of North Coos river, Monday, tearing several holes In her bottom, bending her shaft and damag ing the propeller. The water came pouting In at a lively rate and Captain Holland got his boat beached just In time to keep her from sinking. After her cargo of milk cans was placed on shore she was bulled out and the holes patched up. The Union was towed to town by Julius Larsen's gasoline launch and has since been repaired and Is again ready for service. Tho action of the city council pro viding (or the appointment of a com mittee to recommend changes In the city charter to the-next legislature bu met with the general approval of tax payers throughout the city. Mayor Bergman yesterday announced the ap pointment of Messrs. 8cherneckau, Ut- singer and Cook aa members of the committee, City Attorney Smith to act as au advisory member. The duty de volving upon the committee Is an Im portant one, as upon Its work with the legislators will depend the succees of the efforts of those who Are labor ing to Improve the regulations govern ing eireet work and many other muni cipal and county reforms. Attention la called to the notice In this Issue announcing the meeting to be held on the evening of July 2$ for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of Bryan and Stevenson and for the organisation of a club tor the coming presidential campaign. Arrangements are also being mode for a grand dollar dinner to take place at the conclusion of the meeting. The Democratic exe cutive committee have the matter In hand and will make further announce ment as to the place of meeting and the manner In which tickets can be had for the banquet. Everyone who loves Hryan and liberty Is Invited to the meeting at which there will be some of the best speakers in the state. The Oregon Naval Reeerve will start on Its annual cruise next Saturday, ac cording to last night's Telegram. The cruiser Philadelphia haa been ordered to Portland to take the boys to sea, and will arrive there either Friday evening or Saturdvy morning. She will stay only long enough to allow all time to get on board. The reserve will, In the opinion of Captain R. E. Davis, turn out all Ita officers and probably foo men. Its full strength Is about l,'o, but Captain Davis says that at least fifty will not be able to make the trip. Most of the fifty are residents of Astoria. The cruise will last just one week and will be along the coast, 50 or 100 miles off shore. Mayor Bergman haa shown a moat commendable deposition to furnish every facility for furnishing lights for the city of Astoria, by promptly sign ing the ordinance calling for bids. The city will now proceed to solicit bids for tho supply of from fifty to sixty live arc lights of not less than 1200 candle-power at a specific maximum rate of "JG.00 per light per month. The people of Astoria are anxious that the llKhtlng question be definitely settled, one way or another. The action of the council and of Mayor Bergman will no doubt bring the matter to a focus without much delay. The maximum rate of $6.00 per light fixed by the council precludes the probability of tho West Shore Mills Company entering the contest unless It shaves ita former figures enormously. Should the com pany stand firm on Its original prop osition some outside concern will secure the plum unless the city decides to Inaugurate a plant of Ita own. It la the general opinion, however, that the West Shore Mills Company, finally be ing convinced that the councllmen will not permit the taxpayers to be held up under Its extortion, will submit to the inevitable and put In a reasonable bid. , Othr bids ore expected, from outside sources and It Is now iMiaonably cer tain that Astoria will tunve a public lighting (K-rvM superlrf j to that fur nished in the paat at ;jiu;h cheaper rates. The Oregon Children' frlome Society has several young children for whom family hotm are dlrMlj Theso little ones may he taken on I three months' trial. Mr. I, F, Tobey, the superin tendent of the society, Is now In As toria. Any application sent to this of fice will receive' prompt attention, In formation Is solicited concerning chil dren needing home. Superintendent Tobey states that within the past five years over 400 children have be-n placed In good homes, under the auspices of the society. The work has been or ganised throughout the Northwest and great success has attended the efforts of thoae having the work In charge. Superintendent Tot- will endeavor to organise a society In Astoria. In view of the present controversy over the lighting and power question In this city, news of what other titles are d'ltig In that direction Is of Inter est to the people of Astoria. The New York Commercial of the 12th Inst pub lishes the following: "A radical depar ture from the atorage battery system of operating street railroads wse taken by the Montreal Street Railroad Co. this week when a contract was made with a waterpower company to supply the electric energy for twenty-five years. The contract was made with the Chambly Water it Power Co., re cently organised, to develop water pow er from the currents and waterfall of a river at that point, and then to trans fer Into electric power, which can be then sent by wire to Montreal In the same manner aa Buffalo stret railway systems now obtain power from Niaga ra. The Chambly Water A Power Co. agrees to supply power to the 'street railway at a cost of 125 per horse power per year for 1,000 horse-power."

CORUETT MAKES A STATEMENT. The Ex-Senator Tells an Astorian Jtep resentatlve Some Facts Con cerning the Peterson Case. Ex-Senator H. W. Corbett, who has Just been sued for $100,000 damages by E. E. Peterson, of Butte, Montana, for alienation of his .wife's affections, was over from Long Beach on business yes terday and In an Interview with an Astorian representative gave the facta concerning the case which is now bringing him so much unpleasant no toriety. Mr. Corbett stated that Mrs. Peter son's father, who resides at Albany, was known by him in former years, and that through knowledge of thla fact Mrs. Peterson worked upon his sympathies to such an extent that ha made her a loan on two separate oc casions, for which he received her note, to aid In the care of ' the old gentleman, whom h3 understood was suffering from a paralytic stroke and In needy circumstances. He had not been ' acquainted with Mrs. Peterson previously, nor did he have any other relations with her than that of a bene factor to her father through her. Mrs. Peterson stated to Mr. Corbett that she had left her husband by mutual agree ment and had come tar Oregon to care tor her Invalid father. The ex-senator tired of her continued importunities and Anally secured from her a definite statement and agreement that she would annoy him no more. According to the statement of Judge Henry McGinn, she tberr went to him to obtain his assistance In pushing a tluck-malllng schema against the ex senator, saying that he had plenty of funds and that they might as well pro cure a portion of them as not. Judge McGinn indignantly refused to have anything to do with' the affair and consequently she was forced to secure other backers, who Mr. Corbett believes are politicians .who have special rea sons for taking up the! enterprise. Mr. Corbett has evidence to prove that Mrs. Peterson returned to Butte and woxked cut this suit In collualoa with her huitband, from whom she tiulms to be desirous of a legal separa tion. He Is also prepared to prove some Interesting facta concerning the previous reputations of Mr. and Mrs, Peterson, a portion of which testimony was shown to the Astorian representa tive. The case Is an interesting one, owing to the prominence of Mr, Corbett. It has been announced In shipping circles that the tug Maggie, which came near being a total wreck In the rileualaw, a few months ago, will be taken to Portland this week for repairs to her engines and boiler. For some time pust she has Wen on the ways at Florence and has be-n thoroughly overhauled. She Is said to be In bet ter condition than she was before she went on the beach. The report comes from Tillamook that the schooner Llla and Mattle, which ha been bottom up in the bay for some time, has finally righted. The Llla and Mattle went ashore several months sgo. She waa finally got oft the sand and then she turned turtle. The wreck then became Involved in liti gation. Tills has now been settled and the craft righted.
