Ho will put up sardines, ar.ehovlws, fish balls, bloater paste, kippered salmon, herring, sturgeon, cto. It has been suggested that th re gatta committee endeavor to arrange for the use of the space owned by the Astoria Exchange Company at Bond and Twelfth streets, for the location of a grand-stand. It Is a splendid location and with the planking replaced would undoubtedly be the best place that could be secured in the city along the waterfront Sheriff Llnvllle left for Salem last night In charge of Cheater Palmer, who will be placed in the reform school The Palmer boy Is only 14 years of age but has developed several vicious traits, chief of which bas been potty thievery.

In a newa article ref'-rrlng to Mr. Welch's visit lo that city suye: "The visit of Grand Muster Welch appears to be highly ap preciated by th fraternity, and on th streHs his remarks In the lodge are heartily commended. Of course, we, of the outside were not privileged to hear l nun. and therefore cannot teetlfy." Tho bursting of the hoae at Sunday night's fire haa made clearly manifest tho fuct that the hose used by the Aiitorta fire department Is not tinted frequently enough. ' Much annoyance and Inconvenience was experienced Sunday nlaht i n account of several breaks occurring In one of tho lines of hosj at a time when a constant stream of water was most , needed. Chairman Hansen of the fire and wa ter commission of the city council has ehown much wladom In ordering that all hose belonging to the fire depart ment shall be given a thorough test on Saturday aftenroon next Mr. liausen should go lilt' further and order a test of the hose not less frequently than once a month. The Astoria Exchange Company has a lurg force of men at work remov ing tbe charred ruins of the buildings destroyed at Twelfth and Bond streets Sunday night The action of the com pany I most commendable, particularly In view of the fact that the regatta Is lioso at hand and thousands of vis itor from abroad will soon be in tbe city. The removal of the wreck will greatly Improve tbe appearance of that part of the city. It I not known what class of ulldlng will be placed on th site of the old warehouse nor when the construction work will begin.. The Astoria Exchange Company will bold Its annual meeting on Tuesday, August 7th, at which time It is believed some action will be taken to erect new buildings. The census returns for Clatsop coun ty have Just been forwarded to Wash ington. The population of Asto ria I between J, 000 aud 9.0OO. These figures show a gain of about 2,000 over tbe population at the time of the last enumeration. An Increase of fully 3,000 In the white population Is reported, while there is a decrease In the Chinese population of over 1,000. The falling off In, the number of Chinese residents Is due to the fact that within the past few years a lesser number of Chinese have been employed In the canneries. The number of names would have been much greater had It been possible for the enumerators to have gone upon the river and enrolled the fishermen who are rrs'dents of this city. Arrangement were made to provide for the expenses of a launch, to be used by the enum erator for this purpose but every boat on the river waa In commission at th time and the project went by default A gentleman who haa own a resident of Astoria for many years and who hus Interested himself In the census. expressed the opinion yesterday that the population of Astoria would have been ahown to have been much over 10,000 had the proper facilities been supplied to the enumerators for work on the river. The Uclglan hare erase seems to have struck Astoria full blast. A num ber of full-blooded hares have already been Imported and are a decided at traction among the friends of their owners. Callfornlans, always alive to now hobbles, have been besieged ' with (the erase for several months and Bel gian hares now receive more attention than race horses or prise fighters. An amusing story Is told on a couple of Portlandera who,' determined to be In tho swim, sent to a California dealer for Keveral Belgian hares. As a matter of fact, the Portland fellows didn't know' a Belgian hare from a Missouri mule, but the swell set at 'Frisco was "mak ing a splurge", over Belgian hares and they bad to. have a few. One day a box containing six scrawny Jackrabblts was deposited on. the platform at the Union depot and the precious collec tion was In due time delivered to th highly elated consignees. Two or three Belgian hare socials followed in cele bration of the new arrivals and it was not until a fellow from Arlsona set his eyes upon the Importations that the owners were made aware of the Impo sition. "Dog 'dang It," the man from Arlsona exclaimed, "them ain't Bel gian hares. They're Jack rabbits, the same critter they hav been paying a bounty of Ave cents a scalp for town In Artzony. To ti. crcait of the own er of th peat it Is said that they Im mediately left for Bkamokawa oo a month's outing. , , - There I now being constructed at Sparrow Point. Md what will be the largest floating drydock In th world. It is being built' for.us by, th navy department, and when completed will be towed to Algiers, La., a ioytze of 2,000 miles. It will then be placed In position at th naval station there for the us of all vesael in service In the Carrlbean and Mexican ' waters. The dock Is being built in conformity with a plan to, strengthen all the Southern naval stations, and to provide there fa cllltlfs for the handling of the largest veel In the United States navy. The new dry dock Is to be built at the cost of fSlO.00. and will be complete In every detail. It will consist of five pontoon, three of which compose the bottom and the other two the sides of the dock. The extreme length of the dock Is 240 feet, while the extreme width Is lit feet A QUESTION AS TO DATES.. Efforts Being Hade to Change the Time for Holding the Regatta. The Imposition is general through out the city bat the dates for hold ing the regutta, as announced by Chairman Stockton of the executive committee, are at leaat a week too ear ly. Nobody believes for an instant that the regatta will not be a great aucceaa, even though It be held on the 13th, 14th and Uth of August but nesrly every citizen who bas bad anything to do with Astoria's regattas In tbe pat la of th opinion that the event would be a greater success In every way if it were to be held a week or so later. One of the arguments set forth in support of an extension of time is that the fishing season cloavs on the lJth and many of the fishermen, who usually tak an Important part In tbe boat races, cannot prepare for the contests as they will be busy with their neta until the close of the day on which the regatta will close. Another argument Is that the first part of the week is not as good as the last days for any kind of event calculated to attract peo pie from abroad. , Tbe members of tbe regatta Dress committee Interviewed a large number of local business men yesterday and found the sentiment unanimous In fa vor of changing the date to. the 23d, 24th and 25th. Last evening the com mittee sent a dispatch to Chairman Stockton, who is attending the A. O. U. W. grand lodge at Salem, as follows: "Local public sentiment is unanimous that the dale for. holding-the regatta should be changed to .August 23. 24 and 25. This I the result of investigation by prrrg committee." A reply frotn Chairman Stockton 1 expected soma time today. There I some question aa to whether the press committee can succeed In se curing the editorial convention to meet here during regatta week. At the last meeting of tbe association it was agreed to hold this year's convention at Abo land, the date to be fixed by the ex ecutive committee. It la believe! that a large majorily of the members of th association are in favor of Asto ria aa the place for holding the conven tion, because of the congenial climate and tbe regatta, but it Is doubtful If a change can be made at tt Is late date. OUR FLOUR IN CHINA, Effect of the Prevailing Difficulties on Shipments From the North, west Jut what effect the trouble in Chi na will havj upon the shipments of flour from Astoria and point on' the Sound Is more or lees problematical. Men who have long been engaged In the Oriental trade differ In opinion.. A very comprehensive and reasonable view of the situation is expressed by W. S. Byers, proprietor of the ..Pen dleton Flour Mills, who haa been an extensive shipper of flour to Hong Kong, Yokohama, Kobe and other Oriental porta for several year past Mr. Byers is quoted at considerable length In the Dally East Oregonian of Pendleton. The conflict In his opinion, Is reasonably certain In the end to op erate to the benefit of the Pacific coast farmer. The bulk of the flour trade la through Hong Kong, and since Eng land owns that port to all Intents and purposes, there Is little danger that we will be cut off from a share In whatever trade is carried on. , "Let it be understood that the flour now consumed In the Oriental countries Is used nearly all by the American and European residents who have gone given an even chance with other coun Interview. "But little Is yet used by the natives. This being the case, It is necessary only that the seaports be kept open to insure the retention of the flour trade with but little decrease. "Then, in the event of the ChlneBe Empire being dismembered and the various powers taking each a portion, It la Inevitable that our opportunities will be vastly more in that quarter of the globe, both in the flour trade and also In all lines of commercial endea vor. We on the coast are situated so as to command the flour trade by being there to ilve," says Mr. Byers, in bis tries, for we are nearest and distance Is one of the determining elements in the problem there, aa It Is anywhere else when transportation enters into the question." Mr. Byers adds to the above state ment that whenever wheat goes above fifty cents a bushel here on the coast It knocks out the Oriental flour trade. At fifty cents, . the trade flourishes. Above that figure, It langulahe. MUST CO ABOARD HERE. Cruiser Philadelphia Will Receive Naval Reserve Boys at Astoria, The attempt on th part of the Port land people to have the cruiser Phila delphia receive tbe naval reserve at that city Instead of at Astoria, have proven m failure. The government of .flclals evidently can see no reason why one of Its war vewM-is should run 1K miles Inland to pick up the naval re serve boys, who can reach the mouth of the river in less than five hours by rail at a cost of twenty-five cents each. The Evening Telegram last night published the following article on the matter; ''Adjutant-General Oantenbeln, xit the Orf gon National Guard, received a tele gram from Captain W, W. Mead, com mander of the cruiser Philadelphia, this numlng, stating that the cruiser would not come to Portland to receive the naval reserve for Its annual cruise. Captain Mead's orders are positive, and, as an appeal to the secretary of the navy will be of no effect th officers of the reaerve have decided to have their men In Astoria, tbe port selected, Haturday morning, the day appointed for departure. "The nature of Captain Mead's orders Is r.ot known. It la supposed, however, that it is the wish of the navy de partment to give the reaerve a full week's practice at sea something that could not be obtained If the Philadel phia came to Portland. Making the trip from Astoria up and back would consume a full day, while oniy six hrurs would be neceasary for Jbe boys to make the run to Astoria by rail, "Tho reaerve will probably turn out more than 100 men for the crulae. h porta received by Captain-Davis, lieutenant-commander, atate that Aatorla will be well represented, the larger part of the Second Division being in readlnerg to go. The Portland divis ion will turn out in force." NOTICE.
