Yesterday morning The Astorlnn of.

sidering the advisability of dredging on
the bar as a mean of temporary relief,
ponding Jetty extension. A hearing
has been arraneJ for Mr. Haupt, at
which line his reaction Jetty device
will be carefully coos'dered. The de
partment hardly expects an erly re
iiort from this bo.ird, or from the
board that made examination at The
Dalles, us both projects are of large
proportions,. and require careful study
The action of these lioejds Is In s
incisure final, us '.he projects devised
and apirovd by them are expected to
afford ik riiiunoiit relief In both lo
calities.
, Almost ut the exact minute ached
ul.-d for the .-clips.? of the moon lust
night, the shadow of the earth wu wn
creeping acroxa her features. The
w eal her bureau bad announced that
the phenomenon would occur at 8 :0s
and It waa 4:13 when the first trace
of diukiv'ss waa noticed on that big
chunk of gr.H'a ,'heeie that runs op
position to the electric light company.
For Juiit about an hour the shadow
crept slowly htm lama's face, und
for hi.iee time afterward the moon
seemed a ball of lire behind the black
veil that had hen drown around. The
eclliev was jerf-t In every nnect.
and thousands watch d It In this city.
The vh'nomenon. It might be explained
win the result of th earth passing
bet.veen the moon nnd the sun. The
moon derives Its light from the sun
and the hit volition shuts off the bril
liancy of the moon. Efforts to locate
Astnrl.i on the fa 'e of the moon prov
ed Ineffectual, but otnerwlsc the eclipse
caused no disappointment.
The Catholic ladles of the city will
hold a fair next week, the proceeds of
which will bo used to assist In defray
ing the expense of building the new
church There Is every Indication
that the hn.vr will be the best of Its
k'ln.l ever held-In '.he city. The bar
gain nle couriers, dinners, exhibitions
and general progr.im h.iv been worked
up faithfully and th-.'re Is every reason
to believe that the public will get Us
money s wort hln very department.
The lud'es have heretofore achieved nn
enviable reputation or their cooking
and general inang(mcnt and when it
Is anil that th-lr uresent efforts bid
fair' to outdo their past record no fur
ther recommendation la needed. On
Wednesday evening n chicken dinner
will be served, an Thursday evening
New England dinner and on Friday
evenlnrf a salmon dinner. The fair
will be held on Bond street In the
rooms formerly occupied by the Push
club. Anion the special attractions
will be a country store nnd a picture
gallery.
The body of either Ferguson or Hud
son, the two sailors who were recently
drowned while attempting to escape
from the Prhtlsh ship Austraslu, was
found yesterday on the bench a short
distance east of the Point Adams life
Saving station by men from the sta
tion. Captain Jack Rcld went down
In the' Swan and brought the body to
the city. It was taken to the morgue.
The corpse was In a fairly good state
of preservation, and It Is probable the
remains wtll be Men tided. Around
the body and neck was a piece of rope
which had probably been used to hold
a pneknge of clothing. The man was
attlrad In overalls and undershirt, but
wore no shoes. Around the waist was
a belt, In which was found a broker,
sheath knife. Coroner Pohl will con
duct a thorough Investigation Into the
manner of the death of the saor, and
It would-not be surprising, In view of
Ihe stor) already told, If some sensa
tional evidence was brougiit out. West
Astoria fishermen alleged at the time
of the drowning that they went to the
rescue of the men, and tould have
saved them had not the occupants of
a boat from th vessel warned them
away at the point of rifles. The
fishermen will be summoned as wit
nesses. Reports received In this city from
point along the Oregon and Washing
ton coast are to the effect that the fall
fishlnj season Is a complete failure.'
The scarcity of fall fish seems to be
general throughout the North. vest, and
the pack will fall far below that ex-1
pected by the cannerymen. From Ne
halem, Alsea and othur Oregon coast
point where fishing operttlon are
carried on report received here are
that the supply has been below that
61 any other season for several years.
Th9 coast streams have usually been
favored with a fair run of sllversldes.
but even this variety of salmon Is
scarce this season, and the tanneries
are making very poor packs. Reports
from Oray's harbor are not any more
encouraging. Fishing opt-rations there
hav been a failure thus ftir, and there
is no prospect of an Increase. The
season win soon end. From Puget
sound come advices similar to those re
ceived from other int, and it Is
evident that ths entire pack of fall fish
In the entire Northwest will not be
greul enough to flgu.'e m the world's
markets. This scarcity of salmon,
while fpcrutlng to the dlsidvaniage of
each particular community, ought to
result In a much Improved condition of
next year's market. The big falling
off In the Puget sound summer pack,
and now the failure of the fall pack.
will probably have the effect of caus
ing heuvy demand for Columbia river
spring salmon, and send '.h? market up
few notches. The fall paca on the
Columbia rlv.T Is no better than that
of the outside streams. For a time
there was a fairly .rood supply of fish.
but now the catches are very light.
The canneries are operat-fd only two
or" three times a week, and then only
few cases are packed. The entire
pack of the three Columbia river can
neries w hich are operating will not ex
ceed 12,000 cases. If present Indica
tion can be relied upon. The season
on the Columbia ends November 20.

OPPOSES COURTHOUSE
AT PRESENT TIME,
Leading Taxpayer Believes Surplus
Money Should lie Used Tn
Building Roads.
An Astorlan representative yester
day called -n another heavy property
owner and asked him his opinion con
cerning the courthouse-city hall pro
posal. The gentleman in question
represents property Interest that con
tribute about one-twenty-second part
of the total taxes of the county. ' Said
he:
"I am opposed to the building of a
courthouse at this time, and hope that
the plan for .Its construction will fall
I agree that the oounty needs a new
seat of government, and bel'eve a joint
courthouse and city hall would be a
good thing, .n-l I also coincide with
the sentiment that, when a new build
ing is erc.d, it should cost fully W,
000. An improvement of this kind
should he of a permanent nature.
"But It is .ry opinion that we do not
need a courthouse a much a we need
good roads: and for that reason I am
ui favor, at this time, or building the
leis and Clirk bridge, so as to open
up the West Side farming district. This
bridge will co-t boit $15,000 and will
necessitate a levy of about 2 mills
The building of the Young's bay bridge
was Intended to opn up the farming
district of the county, and the objects
sought to be attained will not be real
Izcd unless ve build roads to the sec
Hons which must reach town by way
of that bridge.
' Now, It Is contended that Clatsop
does not require roads, for the reason
that little farming ts carried on hei
I take a different view of the matter.
To my mind '.t Is olear that the build
Ing of roads will Increase the num
ber of farmers and that without good
highways we cannot expect the agri
cultural develapment that Is necessary
to build up 'hi city. My contention
Is that a new rourthouse at this time
would not bring direct results, whereas
some d'net benifit w 111 be derived from
road Improvements.
- "The petition now in circulation for
the building of the Lewis and Clark
.bridge has been signed by nearly all
the nrinelpal taxpayers of the city. I
believe that the men who pay the taxes
should hav-j something to say about
Improvements, and that their wishes
should be respected. If the property,
owners want a new courthouse. It
should be bulltv If they want a bridge
acroKs.the Lewis and Clark, the county
court should see that It Is construct
ed.
"I am free to acknowledge that our
public buildings are a disgrace to the
community, but It seims to me we
should not undertake any improve
ments along this line jntll the city be
gins to go ah?ad. The present struc
tures will do very well for a few years,
and 'in the meantime, ending rapid
growth of the city, we should put our
surplus money Into highways that will
tap the rich surrounding country.
"Personally, I would favor Inaction
rath?r than the construction of a new
building at this time."
