In stutlisg that the engineer of the
luunch Canity fell over-board while In
toxicated Monday night, narrowly es
caping being drowned, the Astorfan
was evidently In error. A man on the
Canby was Intoxicated and did fall
overboard, but It wus a deck hand and
not the cngin"er who received the
ducking. The Astorlan published the
statement upon what It considered the
best authority, but since the report
was lncijrr."t and does an Innocent
party an Injustice, the Axtorlun gladly
corrects the error.

The proprietor of several of the

leave again as soon as the fishing sea
son and the annual rtgatta are over,
thus taking, considerable trade away

There wa a slight fire yesterday
morning at about 11 o'clock In a house
owned by W. W. Parker, and occupied
by one of the mill hands employed In
the Clatsop Mill Company' box fac
tory. The blase was caused by a spark
from a neighboring chimney. Owing to
the quick work of the fire department
the fire wo quickly extinguished, be
fore there was a chance for any serious
damage. There wo a ktrong wind
blowing at the time, and had the fire
gained any headway, It might have re
sulted very disastrously.

The report of Barny Gallagher, the
road supirvlsor for district No. , show
8am Harris of this city to be a philan
thropist of tho first order. A ehort time
ago Mr. Harris called upon Deputy
Assessor Carnahan at the courthouse
and paid his road poll tax, amounting
to J2.50. A few days later Supervisor
Gallagher called upon Mr. Harris and
notified him that he was still indebt
ed to District No. 6, In the sum of
J2.ro. Sam promptly paid the amount
and It waa not until the balance sheets
were turnsd In to Deputy Carnahan
that the discovery as made that Har
ris had mad two payment on the
same assessment. Sam's attention was
Immediately called to the matter and
Mr. Cnrnnhan tendered him the mon-in
ey. Mr. Harris, however, would not
accept the money, explaining that "If
1 was fool enough to pay the money
twice, I'll stand the loss." Therefore,
Deputy Cartuihan's books report a do
nation to the road fund of $2.50.
Captain A. T. Stream owns a dog,
nnd thereby hangs a tale. He also
owns a house, and right outside his
door there are several stumps, and the
captain came down town to get some
c'ynnmlte with which to blow up these
decayed tree remains. In a spirit of
fun, the store-keeper, where the sup
ply was bought, sold Mr. Stream sev
eral long pieces of hard rubber In
stead of the explosive, and the cap
tain, not recognizing the difference, pro
ceeded to attempt the removal with the
aid of the substitute. Here Is where
the fun commenced, The dog was
fooling around and, seeing a piece of
the pseudo-dynamite about an "Inch
long lying on the ground, picked It
up In his mouth and trotted off to the
house with It. The captain wo In a
dilemma. If he attempted to catch
the dog and any violence were used
the dog would blow up and Incident
ally wrack the house and kill ' Mr.
Btn-am. If he allowed jhe dog to run
around with the stuff Inside of him. It
would be only a question of time be
fore the dynamite exploded anyhow.
There wo but one thing to do, and
that muat be done quickly. Gingerly
plcklnr the dog up, he carried him to
tlm river, and with a "dust to dust"
look upon hi face, consigned the poor
animal to the water. After learning
of the "fake" later on, the captain
was a mad a wet hen, and It Isn't
safe, even now, a wetk after the Inci
dent, to mention blowing up stump
long a the captain 1 around.
Tne Dalle Time Mountaineer ha
great faith In It community a a coal
producing district. In It Issue of July
iHth the following article was pub
lished: "For fifteen year or more
Messrs. Bettlng.-n, Mclnemy, Moody
and Nlcholi have persistently held
that this wa a coal country, and have
spent thousand of dollar prospecting.
At last thMr effort bid fair to be
crowned with uccess. They are at
present operating c n a vein half a mile
from Collin that promise to develop
Into a valuable mine. The vein I on
ly two feet, five Inche thick, but It
dip Into the mountain, and they ex
pect It to widen as they get further In.
The coal Is of first rate quality, and .
If It proves to be a permanent vein !
will be a valuublj property, since Itj
U conveniently l.xated o that it can !
b. run clown to the river on a tram-
way, the loaded car pulling the empty j

came up yest.-rlny from the mine, and j
will return Monday to prosecute the ;
work of prospecting."
Superintendent Hegardt wa In the
city yesterday, and statvd to an As to- j
rlan repres'jntitlve that the progress of j
the preliminary work on the Jetty waa
being much retarded by the lock of
workman. He states that there Is Im- t
mediate need for 100 additional men. ;
A good start ha been made in re
pairing the old trentle and otherwise
getting ready for the main work, which
should not be delayed when the pre
liminary preparations are completed.
It seet.is atnnge that the government
should exp.'rlenre any difficulty In get
ting all the workmen required. Good
wages are paid, the men have good
board at an exceedingly low prfce, and
they are In every way comfortably
lodged and cared for. P-esldes this,
considering the amount of work there
Is to do, the employment for good hand
may be conilderod permanent The
publlo Importance of the extension of
the jetty Is such that the press of
Oregon and Washington. would do well
to give as wide circulation to '.he de
mand for men as possible.

Way and Means Committee Not Sat

The wa)- and mean committee of the
Common Council opened the bids for

no bids at all, as the only one which
come anywhere near responding to the
stipulations expressed In the call issued
by the council waa that of It. S. Mo

furnish the city with gasoline lamp
of 100 candle-power at J8.75 per lamp,
the lamps to be purchased outright and
operated by the city.
The Ween Shore Mills Company did

In the matter entirely, so It filed a

Imura rate of $8. fixed by the council
The company wa satisfied, however,
that the councllmen and the company
could "get together" on term which
would be mutually satisfactory. Just
how this can be brought about I not
perfectly clear, as the councllmen have
already passed an ordinance declaring
that they will not entertain a propo
sition Involving an expense of more
than S per light per month. The West
Shore Mills Company, on the other
hand, having declared that It will not
undertake to furnish arc light to the
city at a price as low as IS, an Issue
ha been clearly Jotted.
The majority of the councllmen are
still firm In support of the original ul
timatum, their position being chiefly in
opposition to the unreasonable rates
which were attempted to be exacted by
the West Shore Mills Company when
that company evidently believed it had
a "dead cold cinch' on the lighUng
business In Astoria.
The ways and means committee will
Incorporate In Its report to the council
next Monday night a recommendation
that the time for receiving bids be ex
tended for at least one month In order
that eastern parties, who have given
evjdence of a desire to enter bids, may
have sufficient time to obtain details
as to the terms to be fixed by the
city for furnishing public lights.
