Karly yesterday morning when the proprietor of the Swan saloon opened his doors for business, he found that some one had entered the place during the night and broken thlnprs ur 1m fine style. The thief or thieves enter! the saloon by prying open a window on the north sldo of the building with a crow bar. After gaining an entrance, the window was closed and the work of de molition and robbery waa begun. A slot mnjchlne was tint broken Into and f 1 R or mcr taken from It. Then a card slot machine was broken and a few cents obtained. Not being satisfied with the haul, tho robbers went to a safe and, by tying rags over the handles and combination knob to smother thej noise, broke them off with a harnmir. A ratchet brace waa then pjt Into oper ation and a hole bored between the knobs Into the metal to a distance of at least flv'e Iik.V and another one also wiu begun, but the permin or p rsons gave up' their work befoift any other damage wss done, The'only clue the po'lee have to work on is lie ratchet oract which Is now, at the police sta tion awaiting Identification,' Sunday, as the stmrT. M. Richard son with a barge attath-d, was taking on nss.-ng:r at Newport prepara tory to crossing the bay, Peta Ander son's little son, Willie, and a playmate crowded down the gangplank and out on a single board laid on the rafters bnisth the dock, says the Albany Herald. They had barely gotten on the board whn they both fell Into the bay. A couple of men Immediately rushed to the side of the barge, and when the boys came to th surface grasped the collars of their coats and lifted the boys from the water like a couple of drowned rats. Neither of the lad was hurt. . . One of the. largest steers ever raised In Umatilla ceunty was brought from Camus prairie last Week and arrived here Saturday, and with 43 lighter ones was bought by Mr. Philips, who rep resents Zoecklcr Brothers of Seattle, auys the Pendleton East Oreironlan. This particular animal was welnhed at Alba on the way toward Pendleton, and registered H71 pounds. On arrival here after four days traveling It welifhed only H70 pounds. TheYe has ben much speculation as to whcihor cattle would hwe much of their weight while being driven from the ranges to market, and the above would Indicate that the loss was considerable. This bund of cattle was sold by Oeorge McGaughey. who llvs on Camas prai rie, and he. together with Messrs. Vle bns'k and Smith, brought them to town and turned them over to Mr. Philips. J. Mortimer Brown, editor of the White Lake. 8. D.. Wave, summarizes one end of the political situation In the following comprehensive manner: You bet. Same old ticket. Same old boss; Sam old platform, (Minus rres; Same old powder. Same old gun; Same old waddln' CSteen to one); Fame old kickers, Same old rrowl. Sam old antl- Hanna howl: Sam old Issues Nothing new: , Same old lies to Help 'em through; Same old talkers. Same old Josh, Same old brand of Campaign slosh; Same old vorters (iless their souls). Same old trouncing At the polls: The schjoner Maid of Orleans arrived this w?k from Uyak Bay, Alaska, with 7,0)0 cases i f red flsh packed by Hume Bros. A Hume of this city. Sussman. Wormser A Co. were the largest re ceivers, and from them we learn that they sold yesterday 2.500 cases of their consignment for the most part In a large way on the street at 1.07H, and at 11.15 Jobbing. Hume Bros. A Hume have, besides, the Harvester & Ferris Thompson sailing vessels, and the Equator A Francl Cutting engaged In this trade, and expect to pack In all S,",000 cases during the present season. Pink Alaska salmon Is extremely ecarce on the spit and scarcely procurable. It Is worth $1.05 In a Jobbing way. It Is confirmed that the Alaska pack will be a record breaker, say 130,000 In ex ress of last year's. It will be also most ly p d, which under the circumstances Is the most available description, see ing that the Inferior descriptions don't sell well when they have to be retailed over 10c. Arrivals In quantity will begin about the end of this month, and there will then be plenty of fish on offer. The Alaska Packers' Association has not yet named prices. A good authority here docs pot believe that the Columbia river pack will reach 2:0,000 cases In all. and that If the legislatures do not stop the use of wheels nnd traps the fishing on the river .will be ruined. Others believe the pack will reach 250,-, 000. The run ha been poor on Puget Sound, and the pack there Is not one third of what it was last year at the same date. Deliveries will have to be largely cut down. A meeting of Puget Sound packers is to be held to-morrow, when outsiders that so far hnve sold little or none of this year's fish, will name prices. On the Fraser river the run Is also poor, but on the Skeena and Rivers Inlet It Is a f,ull average, so that up till date there Is In British Col umbia, on the w hole, an excess as com pared with last year. The only fish at this moment on offer from first hands 13 the outside Oregon livers', held at U ond Chinook at $125. by the Grtfflth Durney Co. Tacking on this begins this month. Taking everything into consideration It Is not expected that this year's pack on the Pacific coast will be, m the w hole, more than 10 per cent, or 300.000 cases, short of last year's.

An 'Astoria Artist Who Deserves Recognition. Working In Swope's paint shop, 's a man who will, some day In the iw-ar future be one of the most famous palntfrs In the world, should be be so fortunate as to fall In with lovers of art, who, will assist him In exhibiting his very excellent work to the outside world. One of his best pieces of work Is at prnsent in the office of Dr. Estes. It is called the "Old Violin." Quite an In teresting story is connected with this piece, Tne original "Old Violin," was paint ed by William Harnett, of New York, known to artists as the king of still life painters. The work is said by by some crltlis to be Harnett's master piece. Although he la credited with having painted tb original, there, are some who claim the original has been In the Earl of Denby's collection for ctnturiea and that a remote mosaic of it Is in a Hindoo temple. Mr. Harnett's picture Is so realistic that while It was being exhibited In Cincinnati, a policeman had to stand guard before It to prevent doubters from feeling It. In Minneapolis a glass was p!ac?d over It for the same reason. It was at Minneapolis where Mr. Baker first saw the painting. He was at the time a mere boy, but had been devoted to art from early childhood. The sight of the painting so haunted him that he dreamed of It by night and day. As he told a reporter for the Aa torlan: "I could do nothing but think of that painting, oftlmes musing so intently over It that I forgot my meals." The following year, Mr. Baker painted It so successfully from memory, that when It was exhibited it waa mistaken for the original by art critics. When those who doubted that It was the or iginal, were told that it was painted from memory, by a mere boy who had not received any education whatever, except by his own efforts, they smiled Incredulously. However, the superintendent of the art department In the schools of that city hunted Baker out and persuaded him to attend the Minneapolis school of fine arts which had Jus been opened by some of the wealthy citizens of that city. Here Baker" was given a thorough training and later went to Europe. In London he submitted a couple of ori ginal paintings to the Clrectors of the national gallery, who concluded to ad mit him to the gallery for :ife. After copying a number of the works of art there. Baker recrossed the At lantic and came west to Oregon. Since coming to Astoria Baker has done sev eral plews deserving of merit At the present time he is at work copying the masterpiece of Bougereau entitled ''Satyr anJ Woodrymphs," the original of which is Ir the Hoffman House In New York City. It Is valued at J2a. OM. Some day in the near future the paintings of Baker will be exhibited In WE ARE GIVING Q lime, J many WITH Teas, Coffees, Spices. Extracts.
