He wllfi spend a few days In New York, and then sail on the Cun- ard ateamer Lueanla for Hango. The harbor of Astoria looked some- thlnir Aa It should, ordinarily, yester- day afternoon. At one time there were nine sailing vessels lying at anchor, one coming In over the bar, one at Tongue Point and one Just starting to tow up, twelve vessels In all. There are several craft that are now due here. The British ahlp Astracana, In cargo from Hamburg, has keen out 114 days, and should be well up the coast by this time. The Conway will be along soon from snangnai, ana two three of the Honolulu vessels will be duo before long.

Probate Judge Gray yesterday after noon handed down his decision In re Knrd to the minor children of John Lied des and Kmtna Ucttee, deceased, com mitting them to the cure of the Hoys' aiKlfiilrls' Al Society In Portland. The case was tried lain week and was on tho petition of Mrs. Terpen, mother of (he late Mm. G-ddee, that Mr. tieddes was an unfit person to care for the clildrtn. and prayed that they be re moved. J.

The residents of Copper City heard of the proposed Introduction of Chinese labor and a mass meeting was called, at which tho surrounding camps were reprem-nted. A delgatlon of 40 men were appointed and they met the stage containing the two Chinamen at Hquaw creek crossing. They were or dered to get out and retrace their steps Mid warned never to return, which the Chinaman seemed glad, under the cir cumstances, to do . The beat run made by any of the vessels that arrived Sunday was that made by the Hrltlsh ship County of Kdmburgh, which came over from Yo kohama In 27 daya This comes mar being a record breaker. Some of the vessels coming up from the Islands have taken up more time than that. The Kllmory consumed 20 days, and the Philadelphia. 2? days In making the pas snge from Honolulu. This was con sidered good time. The run from Yoko hama In 27 days, however. Is excep tional. The record pasage from Yo kohama to Astoria waa made several years ago by the Selkirkshire, which crossed the Pacific In 21 days. This was so close to steamship time that the skipper la said to have gone on a huge celebration all by himself. A rare sight was that witnessed by those who were fortunate enough to be In sight of the lower harbor on Sun day afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock. There was a light breete blowing in shore and Ave large sailing vessels took advantage of the fact to sail In over the bar. The one In advance was really In tow of the Wallula, but as she was using all her sails to aid the tow the whole effect waa that of a very pretty scene. The veenels were the German ship Nomla, Howehl. master. from Mao Chou; French ship Europe, Mullcr, maeter. from Grimsby, Eng land; German ship Altalr, Spills, mas ter, from Snn Diego; French bark Ad miral Courbet. Crequer, master, from Nantes, and the Hrltlsh ship County of Kdlnburgh, Tode, muster, from Yoko hama. The ships were all In ballast. Ex-Chlcf W. J. Harry did a very clev er piece of work yesterday afternoon. The little son of Charles Clausnen, a lad about 10 years of age, was playing on the Carnnhan slip at the foot of Tenth street, when he In some way tumbled off Into the water. Attracted by the crlea of the boy'e little sister Barry arrived on the scene Just aa the child waa disappearing from sight for the lost time and only a tiny hand marked the ploee. as the waters closed over htm. Mr. Barry threw off his coat, plunged Into the water and swam to the spot where the child disappeared. He dived but the water w-as so mud- ly that he was unable to see anything. He came up for breath and once more went down In his search, groping around on the bottom and found the Mid lying flat In the mud. He brought him to the surface and swam bock to the slip, where willing hands relieved him ot his burden. Either In taking ft his coat or in the water Mr. Harry lost the charm from his watch chain tiny gold hoxe nozzle that ho received over ten years ago at a firemen s con vention on the sound, and which he prized very highly. The boy was put under prompt treatment and although he had taken considerable water, soon recovered. 3 Premiums F.pn m"j Given 011 WITH Teas, Coffees, Spices, Extracts, Soda, Baking Powder Uood Time aud PlMce to Buy Come Just to See -reat AmericailmjiorturiTea Ga. 571 Commercial Street, Astoria, Or.

Hush for the custody of the two children Violet and Leo Hush, which was given a hearing before Probate Judge Gray on Baturday, waa deeded yesterday morning, the judge ordering that the children remain In the custody of said Hush.

During a recent Interview Captain R. K. Davis, a w'eii known fish man of the Hound, said: "There Is a very poor run of fish In the lowvr Sound at the rrewnt time and It Is more than like ly that by the middle of next week a great number of the canneries In that vicinity will cloe down for the sea son. There are a few silvers and about the same number of chums or dog sal mon being caught, but hardly enough to warrant keeping on the crews and The run of silvers and other varieties', since the sockeyes quit, has not been very satisfactory. They have come In about the same proportion as the sock eyes. It will be several weeks yet be fore any accurate estimate of the pack can be made, but among all flsh men It la roughly estimated at from 60 to 65 per cent of what It was last year," Talk of building a bridge over the Columbia near Vancouver Is being re vived and the hopes of the residents Of Vancouver are being brightened cor respondingly. It Is reported that one of the superintendents of construction of the Northern Pacific has been In Van couver, surveying property, und the rumor Is that the Portland, Vancou ver & Yakima railroad, which Is now only 0. logging road, will be extended to Yakima on the north, and Portland on the south, where a connection will be made with the Northern Pacific and a saving of 200 miles made In the East ern trip, quite an Item to a transpor tation company. Whether or not there la any truth In this cannot be definite ly stated, but It Is known that the Northern Pacific has been acrlptlng land and that the company Is a de fendant In a number of land suits In the Vancouver land office, which has been sent on to the department of the Interior, at Washington. In case the Portland, Vancouver ft Yakima road Is completed, there will be need of bridge across the Columbia and It is ! predicted that it will come to pass with In two years. The canned salmon report from Ban Francisco says: Pink Alaska opened this wek at 90 cents from first hands, with exceptional offers at a shade less, but has since been withdrawn. The Jennie, belonging to the Pacific Whal ing company, nas oeen stranded on her wav back to Alaska for a further cargo of possibly 40,000 rases, and It Is not yet known whether this supply win reach the market this year. All ofera of Columbia rlvre and Puget sound fall packs have been withdrawn there being no run of fish to speak of. in spot goods the following are on or fcr from first hands here; Columbia river spring chlnook, tails 1.65; Hats 1.80: Oregon chlnooks, 1.25; Alaska red, 1.20: king tails, 1.S5. About all the exm'cted cohoe or sllverslde pack of southern Oregon was placed early at $1 a dozen: the asking price now Is $1.06 to $1.10. On Columbia river $1.20 Is talked, but canners want to see what kind of pock they will have. On Pu get sound $1.10 Is talked, but canners are waiting to see about what the pack will be. We do not hear what price is asked for chums or dog salmon. At aka sold at 80 cents. To show the strength of the market we will state that Alaska "do-overs" sold last year at 425 cents a dozen; this season, they sold at vo cents. The price of red Alas ka In barrels continues at $10. There are no pinks here. Whenev?r any come to hand the consignees have buyere nut in bids and the highest gets them No price so far aa we can learn has been made on bellies and none ex pected for a while yet.

BACK rriOM ALASKA. J. E. Hlgglns and Family Return from Pleasant Vacation Trip. Mr. J. E. Hlgglns, of the Astoria Na tional bank and also of the firm of I toss, Hlgglns at Co.; together with his wife and daughter, Miss Minnie, re turned on Saturday evening via Seattle from a trip extending a trifle over five weeks. A portion of the time waa spent at Skagway, from which point Mr, Hlgglna took a trip to Dawson. He was accompanied as far as White Horse, tha terminal of the railway, by Mra. Hlgglna and daughter. Frim thence he went by boat on the Halley to Dawson City, a distance of abwt 6s) miles, the Journey being accomplish ed In a little over two daya. To an Aatorlan reporter Mr. Hlgglns said that the general state of things In Dawson seemed prosperous, that they were well prepared for the winter and that for the greater part work would be continued right on through the win ter. He found Dawson an up-to-date hustling city of perhaps lb.wid fixed population, with electric lights, schools, churches, and found everywhere evi dence of the spirit of American push and enterprise. Freight rates are atlll necessarily quite high, the esti mated cost on 100 pounds of freight being about ten dollars from Seattle to Dawson. Of gold, he says, there seems to be plenty of It What Is prac tically In sight being sufficient to oc cupy ten to fifteen years In getting out and new strikes are being made every few days and In fact have be come such common occurrences . that unlesa It la of unusually large propor tions hardly any comment Is caused. Leaving Dawton Mr. Hlgglns return ed by the steamer Victorian, the pas sage up the river occupying about Ave j daya on account of a strong, steady current, that being the usual time re quired for the return trip. He sta:es that a great deal of the freighting! down the river Is done on scows. j Reaching Skagway Mr. Hlgglns and , family remained for several days and I then returned on the Dolphin to Be- j attle. 1 Mr. Hlgglns says their store at Skag-1 way Is doing an excellent business and j Is handling a large amount of good. He ts much benefitted In health and enjoyed the rest and recreation Im mensely, as did the family also. AN INTERESTING COMPARISON, j Two Elg Railroad Systems Tram-act i Nearly Same Amount of Business. The following comparison of the rel ative earnings, etc.. of the two great trans-continental line, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, are of Interest: I The Northern Pacific has 5,005 miles of road. 594 locomotives, 510 passenger cars and 22.S34 freight cars. The Great Northern has 5.078 miles of road. 650 locomotives. 427 passenger cars and 22,934 frelgh tears. The freight earnings of the North?rn Pacific were $22,140.10. and the passen ger earnings S6.219.99S. The freight earnings of the Great Northern were I22.533.0J0, and the pas senger earnings 14.(32,091. The taxes of the Northern Pacific were 1S50.590. The uses of the Great Northern were $990,798. The net earnings of the Northern Pa cific were $15,626,690. The net earnings of the Great North ern were $13,042,414. THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. When a few months more shall hare passed we will then stand at the very threshold of the twentieth century, and the nineteenth will be a thing of the past. It will, however, be known as the century of Invention and discovery, and anions some of the greatest of these we can truthfully mention Hos tetter'a Stomach Bitters, the celebrat ed remedy for all ailments arising from a disordered stomach, such as dyspep sia. Irdlgestlon, flatulency, constipa tion and biliousness. It has been one of the greatest blessings to mankind during the cast fifty years as a health builder. Many physicians recommend It Take their advice, try a bottle and be crr.vinced. but be sure to get the genuine with a frivate Revenue Stamp over the neck of the bottle. WISE DRAWS TICKET.
