Tho Columbia arrived from San FianclBco yesterday several houra be hind schedule time, having encounter ed a heavy fog oft the Oregon coast. Another delay waa necessary at this port because of the scarcity of long shoremen to unload the Immense quan tity of freight consigned to local mer chants.

Aa a mixologist I feel per fectly capable of performing my of fice, but as a guardian of an uncer tain municipality I would be some what out of place." The construction work on the portage road of the Central Navigation Com pany near The LKtilc-e la marly com pleted. The last lot of rails waa de livered the first of the wnk, and now the construction material Is all on the ground. Only a little more track la to be laid, and about alt that Is h-ft to complete the road la the building of Inclines, -tc. The rolling stock la expected In a short tltru and aa the boats are altnoat completed, the com pany will evidently be handling freight on or before the middle of August. Yesterday was the hotU-at day of the year In Astoria, Early In the day not a breath of air waa allrrlng and th sky waa cloudless. Later on, how ever, a tight brvese sprang up, but It was far from refreshing except along the watrfront, where It had an unin terrupted sweep. It waa not until seven o'clock that the atmosphere waa cool enough to be comfortable. The Indications are that the weather will be cooler today aa a heavy fog haa been hovering off the mouth of the river and la moving In the direction of the city., Justice of the Ptaee Drower yester day afternoon fined Paddy Lynch 115 on a charge of assault and battery preferred by one Louis Scuddlngs, a fisherman. The trouble arose over an attempt -by Scuddlngs to employ aa bnatpullcr a young sailor w ho had been atcpplng at the sailor boarding house on Amor atreet and who waa expect ed lo go out on the Lisxle Bell aa ordinary seaman. Lynch waa advised of Scuddlngs' Intentions and came up town in search of tho Bailor lad. The two were found on upper Bond street and aa soon aa Lynch made up tha third member of the party the trouble began. Lynch testified In Justice Brower'a court yesterday that Scud dlnga made an assault upon him and that hla part In the melee waa purely In self-defense. Eye-witneaaea corrob orated thla statement, but the fact that Scuddlnga received the worst of It possibly Justified him In hla griev ance. At any rate. Lynch waa fined 115, which he promptly paid. Lynch declares that he had suffered much an noyance from fishermen of late. They get short an assistant and, he Bays, im mediately atrtke out for the sailor boarding house to entice away men who have been supported at the house with the understanding that they will ship on the first vessel requiring men at this port. Secretary of State F. I. Dunbar haa given out a statement, showing the number of coyote, wildcat and other acHlpa, for which certificates have been received at hla olltce. and warrants drawn In payment thereof at the rate of 13 for every scalp. Thla atatement shows that 13,947 scalps were paid for during the quarter ending June 30, 1900, a total disbursement of $27,894. During the preceding quarter the total number of acalpa paid for waa 8,658, at a cost of (117.316. showing an lncreaae dur ing the last quarter, ovr the preceding one, of $19,573. The total number of scalps paid 'for since the law waa en acted ta 39,451, or a total expenditure of $78,902. Clataop county did not tax the atate treasury to a very great ex tent, the total number of scalpa report ed being 120, of which 56 were turned In during the last quarter. The high est number reported from a single county for the past quarter waa from Harney, which turned In a total of 3,994. The lowest number Is reported from Polk county, A'hlch has a total of eight. Whlla the destruction of the pesta Is a most laudable project, the Interests of Clataop county center more In scalps of sea lions and seals than In coyote and wildcat acalpa- The fishermen on the Columbia river have Buffered greatly from the ravages of these pests upon the nalmon. They not only destroy the fish, and fishermen's nets, as well, but frighten the salmon from whatever part of the river In which they may chose to congregate. A plank waa Incorporated n the original draft of -the "cltliens" platform at the recent county convention pledging Its legislative candlda'.ea to the sup port of a bounty on sea lions and seals, but someone not In authority obtained possession of the copy and quietly drew his pencil through the paragraph. The elimination waa not discovered until after the convention had adjourned and, although the iden tity of. the offender was ascertained. the matter waa allowed to drop. It Is believed, however, that the Clatsop County delegation to the legislature will do everything within Ita power to pro mot the lfitpr-ts of the fishermen and ennnerymen on the Columbia river by supporting a bounty nvasure looking to the partial extinction of the pesti ferous seallona, WILL BE DECIDED TODAY. Meeting to Determine Whether Data of IUgatU Shall Be Changed. The local criticism concerning tha dates X'lecled for holding the regatta thla year has resulted In a call for a meeting of the finance and press com mittees with F. L. Parker, Harry Hamblot and O. C. Fulton, to take place at the customs house this afternoon at Z o'clock. No doubt a decision will be arrived at as to whether tha regatta will be held on the 13th, 14th and 15th of August, as originally determined, or be changed to the 23rd, 24th and 25th, as suggested by the buslneaa men of ,the city, Wednesday night, the press commit tea ent a dispatch to Chairman Stock ton, who la In Salem, as follows: "Local public sentiment la unanimous that the dates for holding the regatta should be changed to August 23, 2t and 25.

' The successful establishment of a great beet augar factory at Newberg, Oregon, will probably be worth even more Indirectly than directly to the farmer In that section. The thorough culture required to produce a good crop of beets will bring increased yield of crops grown In rotation with beets. The most profitable use which can be made of the beet pulp from the factory la to feed It to milch cows, and a factory which uaea the beets from (.000 acres of land ahould In a few year result In giving Newberg the largest creamery In tha atate. , The great In crease In the aupply of skimmed milk will stimulate the production of poul try and swine. The lncreaae la the density of the farm population which will result from the Intensive methods of farming will make improved roads poeslble as well aa necessary. VESUVIUS HAS L03T ITS CONE. Thla fiery crater, now suddenly silent, waa explored by scientific men who discovered that the cone had disap peared.

An Important suggestion on the wid ening pf the streets of Astoria Is sub mitted to the Astorlan by Judge J. Q A. Bowlby In the following communi cation: ' "EDITOR ASTORIAN: The streets of Astoria are too narrow. Not wide enough for light and air, for fire pro tection, or convenient': of travel and traffic. A s'reet tar line almost blocks the street. . 'There are two streets that can be widened to eighty feet each with only trivial expense. Commercial from Four teenth, and Exchange from McClure line to Twenty-third Btreet or Clat sop mill. Vacate Duane street throughout that district and make a twenty foot alley of It. "Let the property on the south aide of Commercial street dedicate twenty feet to the street n consideration of tho twenty feet gained on the other end of the lot from Duane street. Let the property on tha north side of Ex change atreet dedicate twenty feet to Exchange In consideration of the twen ty fect gained on the, other end of the, lot on Duane street. "The blocks between Commercial and Duane and between Duane and Ex change atreeta are out 125 fret wide, so there ft no need of Duane aa a street, Again on account of the hills south of Scow Kay there nver can be but two or three level atreeta between McClure and Clataop mill, and all tha travel between Lower and Uppertown and beyond will pass through these thoroughfare and traffic will soon be come congested. "Tim change or preparation for It can now be made with lesa expense and Inconvenience than later. It would not be nceary to mo present build ings, but new ones should be built on the changed line. "An eighty feH street with a car line or without a car line through It la not wide; If anyone thinks It la let blm, the next time he la In Portland or any other city of alxe. Inquire for a street of that wld'h and examine it "J. Q. A. BOWLBY." THE PHILADELPHIA ARRIVED Preparing to Take Members of Oregon Naval Reaerve on Annual Cruise.

I A number ot ,h cnbr tha division are complaining because their employer cbject to allowing them a vacation to that tbey may go on the cruise. Much Indignation la expressed all alor.g the line, and there la good reason to believe that a nuir. ber of resignations may be tendered unleaa some of the employers recede from their position In the matter. A prominent officer of the local organ- tlv bt evening ihat the diseatlS' . faction caused by the action of some of the employers In Astoria was it-serve. 'There la some Justification for their position," said he, "In the fact that they can not well spare their exper ienced men at this particular time In the year when business is heaviest. At the same time were an attack to be made upon thla coast by a foreign pow er, they would be among the first to complain because the government did not have enough trained men to afford proper protection. . These annual cruises have been designed by the gov ernment for the benefit of the coua try. especially the seaport towns along the coast, and Astoriana certainly ahould be deeply Interested In the un dertaklng." The sentiment expressed by the off! cer la shared by a majority of the leading business men throughout the city and the hope is expressed that none of the boys who are desirous of going on the cruise will be disap pointed.
