Rain felt Incessantly yesterday ond the streets soon became pools of water. The old-timer seemed to thoroughly enjoy the fitmlllar sight, but It was a very disagreeable dny, al though the change waa, from tho viewpoint of health, nn acceptable one. Weather Observer Johnaing has no npology to make for thus precipitating the ilood, nor doea ha hold out any hope of more sunshine in the Immediate fu ture.

Inspectors IJdward and Fuuller have conclul"d ihe taking of testimony In the in.itt-:-r of the Hassulo-Cypromene collision. Captain Sullivan and Pilot Barton of th Iluasulo rlalmed that the shin at anchor was enveloiied In a bank of fog when the collision oeur red, ind that while her anchor lights were out they were not visible In the distance. Furthermore, her bell wna not Wing sounded aa prescribed by law. Witnesses from the Cypromene contend that there wua not enough fog to call Into service the bell, and assert that the llghta were out, and heniM they are billing to assume no blame for the accident. The steamer ran into the ship, eustainlng serious damage lioth to herself and the Cy promene. The hearing waa held for the purpwe of ascertaining whether or not the officers of the vessels hud shown negligence In the performance of their dut!-s. and doea not fix the liability for the aeddert The O. R. A N. Co. haa finally come o'it with the announcement that the San Frunclseo. Astoria steamship line is to be discontinued. This announce ment has lx.cn exacted for some time and the people here have beii prepared for It. The announcement Is contain cd 'n the following dispatch from San Francisco received by The Astorlan yesterday through the Associated Press: "The Call this morn'fig says: The Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company has abandoned Its water ser vice between San Francisco and As toria While the officers of the com pany In this city are reticent In re gard lo the change, It Is a well-known fact that the freight that has hitherto bi-on carried on the steamers George W, Khler and Columbia Is to be taken north'. by rail en the Southern Pn- clnV's Shasta route, Tho steamer Fld-v and Columbia have been tied up at Portland for several days as a re sult of thu marine engineers' strike, and the eompnny, using this fact as Its alleged reason for dismissal, haa dls- chirged Its entire dock force In this city." October Is usually a very quiet month with business men, but trade haa been brisk this year. A reporter who has Interviewed the leading merchants dur ing the past week learns that busi ness has been better thhj year thnn ever before. The situation was sum marized by one merchant when he said: "Last year my receipts were 34 per cent ahead of those of the prev ious year .while this year I have done as much buslii'ss to date as I did dur. Ing the entire year of 1301 . It Is lit' teres'.lng to observe thnt there Is much less credit business t'hnn in former years which makes matters foiv the merchant and customer better." The customary slack trade dur'ng October la due to the exodus of fishermen for nearby poliits. Every year this, exo dus occurs, but the wteij begin to re turn about November with their fall earnings. The exceptionally good weather has made It possible for the loggers to work longer this year than Is uiunllv Hie case but the rain will bring tihem to town. Altogether, the outlook for November and December la wry bright. Several checks were passed oft , on a few unsuspecting saloon men last Saturday that were discovered later to have been presented by the wrong party. The checka were signed by John Muttson and were made payable to W. L. White. Juat who the holder of the checks was eiannot be learned, aa he suddenly left the city when he learned that he wna wanted and before that It waa not thought necessary to make Inquiry concerning him. During the time the heavy forest fires were raging W. I,. White put In an appear anco here and alleged that he sustained heavy lo In Eastern Washington. and at the time Bridge Tender Hobson resigned hie position on the Young's bay bridge among the appllcanta for th9 place waa one W. L, White, While thla I rather convincing that there Is a W. U, White In existence It by no means cleara up the mystery that at tend the check business. The check were payable at the First National and Having bank and amounted In all to about 1100. Master Fish Warden Van Dusen re turned yesterday noon from an extend ed Inspection of the Clarkamaa hatch ery and report that everything I In ahlp-ahape order at that prorogat ing Institution, though the supply of egg I greatly lea than that of laat aeaa in there being at the present time but 1.5,000 eggs on bund, which I only one-thrld of the number at this time a year ago. This remarkable decrease la owing to the river being so hard fished. The few week of close season that occur each summer per mits the fish to arrive In the stream In considerable numbers and at the same time allows the fishermen an oppor tunity to got good and ready for the purpose of exterminating them, and they do It to a finish. The fish travel up the river anywhere from 10 to 2v mile and the fishermen cover the stream for about 25 miles, so that, If possible, not a linny treasure will escape them. Certainly the men can not be blamed for engaging In a legal and laudable vocation but surely t would be well to effect legislation to the end that the hatchery Interests will In aome manner be protected. Other wise the business of conducting a hatchery on the Clackamas river will develop Into a farce. The same difficulty has been experience ed elsewhere but not to such an extent as on the river named. The Clack amas hatchery Is In' rfrfe t working order, but of course the output of fish will be very small. It has been sug gested that If the present condition continue Ihe fish should be permitted to spawn In the natural way and the ex pense of keeping up the hatchery be dispensed wlith.

C. R. Thompson of the hospital corps at Fort Columbia, Is In the city routs for his home In Woodburn, here he will spend a vacation. B. In conversation yesterday afternoon with a representative of The Astorlan, one of the largest taxpayers of the county made the following statement with reference to the agitation now on for the construction of a new court house. "Ho far as I have been able to ascer tain, there ha been no objection to the proposed new courthouse except from those quarter which are always hos tile to Improvements that will require a apctial levy. I believe the progres sive element of the community will heartily endorse ths plan of County Judge Trenchard for a courthouse, and that the petition for the levy, If one I presented to the people will be signed by a large majority of the taxpayer. "An effort I being made to defeat the proposed courthouse by confusing with the present agitation that for the building of the road from the Lewi and Clark to Warrenton, Now, I readily agree that the proposed War renton road would be a good thing, but the question at Issue la this: Which Is most needed the road or the courthouse? Which should be built first? "Clatsop county haa been very gen erous In its treatment of the rural districts of late and It seem to me the people of the country should be satisfied now to let the city have a little something In the way of Improve ment. The Nehalem road will cost $60,100 or $70,000 before It Is completed. The Young's bay bridge involved an expenditure of almost $2T.000.,Several thousand dollars have been expended during the past year In the Seaside district for new roads and bridges, and a hirge sum in various other parts of the county. In the past eight yeara the county has expended more than $115,000 for roads and bridges which U quit? as much as could reasonably be expected. w iho uresent l ine I iatsOD IS a timbering county. Until the trees are cut down, there will be little farming. Of a population of between 13,000 and 14,000, fully 10.000 people live In the city. The Young's bay bridge, coat ing J27.OO0. Is used by very few people. It was built too soon. The proposed Lewis and Clark bridge wai be a bene fit, cf course, but it will, like the Young's bay bridge, be little used for some years to come. It Is too much to ask the taxpayers, in view of the expenditures that have recently been made for roads. As everyone knows, the community of Grays River does more business In a month with Astoria merchants than does all of Clatsop county south of the city In three months. "But we do need a courthouse. The present strvcture is. In the first place, an absolute disgrace. The same can b truthfully said of the city hall. In the' second ;lace. the courthouse is wholly Inadequate for the require ments of the county. It lacks proper vaults for the protection of records, and, with the possible exception of the clerk's quarters, every office in the building is crowded. Just visit the office of the assessor and see whether or not more room is required. "Clatsop's greatest need at the pres ent tin.e is a new courthouse, and 1 1 hope the county court will make the levy necessary for its construction." BOYS' ..CLOTHING..
