ors arrived don on the noon express

they spent tho day, Tlu-y left out on
hint night's tmln for Portland1, from
whh h city they bo this morning to
Hulrin.
Thu visit of the party wi un-iingcd
by Mm Edyth Toislcr Wenthcrert,
who hud met most of the government
commissioners while representing Orw-
gon In the East. Mm. Weathered has
iv warm siot In hr heart for Astoria-,
unit she wni determined that tho torn
mlssloner and their friends hould
vlitlt tills elty before leaving the coast.
Unfoi tumitely; tho coming of the party
was not generally knon; nnd In con-se-iuenee
the reception was not lo
kcplntj with th timml wffoit of A
tiirli to nuiki' iiwi'ent pkawnt for
vlKllom. The party waf, however,
net nt the depot by t.'ounty Judge
Trenrh.ini, An.-Hiior Carniihan and
Judirt' lowlliy; who hnd attended the
Kood roadii convention. Colonel Rlch
ardHon tnnUted that the Aatorlant
Hhoul l ucrpiniHiny the viltor on their
Seaside trip, Judge Trcm-hard and
Aaaeuor Oiirmihan went along. While
In thl county the vlaltora were guests
of the Pimh club.
Arriving at Seaside') the party went
to Locksky Hal!, wh.'re Mrs. Carlisle
had prepare I an excellent dinner. The
ocean brexe had vhtted the appe
tites of th visitors1, and the dinner
whs thorou;nly enjoyed. After din
ner the party wnt to the beach-, spend
ing the entire afternoon In admiration
of the grand oU Paclflc. Some of the
visitors went wndlng; but the colonel
beggid off on the ground that he had
bathed be.'or leaving Washington
city. After a delightful day the vis
itors left Seaside on the evening train
and cam through to the city' where
they spent an hour. In the part,,
were the folb.vlng Indies and gentle
men: Colonel R. M. Itlchardson", Senator
Martin Dodge, Q. Uussel TaKgart and
A. M, Stewart, Kowrnment good roads
commissioner: of Washington': D. C:
Mm. Nellie MeMullcnr of Washington-,
Mrs. Edyth Touler Weathered; Miss
Agn'-s Lane and Albert Toiler, presi
dent of the National Editorial Associa
tion': of Portland.
The visitors remained only a short
time in the city, calling at the offices
of the Morning Astorlan and Evening I
llu'W' t. In converatlnn with an As
torlan representative. Colonel Itfch'
ardion said.
"Our trip to the coast has been u de
llichiful one; and we are Immensely
pleased not only with the treatment
accorded u, but as well with the en-
thusiasm shown by your people In
good roads. We started originally
with a fully equipped train, prepared
to build short pce of model road for
the education of the people. Unfor
tunately, we were uiwble to bring
our train to the coast, but our con
vention In Portland has advanced the
movement for ooJ loads to a mark
ed extent. First-class highways are
what build up the country, and I am
glad to note that Oregon Is showing
so much Interest. Clatsop county's
report on Its big rmd south through
the valley buck of Astoria was the
most favorable one presented ot the
convention, which denoti-s that the
people down by the sea do not lack In
enterprise.
"What do I think of the West?
Well. I'm originally from Nebraska,
and my opinion of the West is a irood
one. There are two remarkable things
which every visitor must notice when
h? comes to this country. - One Is the
wonderful possibilities commercially.
and the other the marked courtesy of
the people. We have been shown ev
ery kindness on our Jaunt, and we are
doeply uppreolatlve.
"I like Astoria and Clatsop county
very much, nnd I expect to see a big
city at the mouth of the Columbia
when I again visit the coast. Nature
has provided everything that Is nec-J
essary for rapid commercial develop
ent, and f the people will do their
hire Astoria will become a large and
flourishing city. For a town of 10,000
people Astoria strikes me as being up-to-date
and mttropolitan In every re
spect, nnd I wish t could lemaln here
for a week. Hut we are pressed for
time, for all the principal communi
ties of the state must be visited. The
members of our party will always re
member the Astoria trip planned, for
us by Mrs. Weuthered. for it has been
a delightful one."
Senator Lodge formerly represented
Ohio In the upper branch of congress.
He, too, Is In love with the West, and
said yesterday he would come out to
the coast next year for a three months-
visit. He regarded Astoria as one of
the most promising cftles on the
const, a view ' that was shared by
Messrs. Stewart and Taggnrt.
The members of the party are all
very Jolly, and the Astorlans who met
them regretted that their slay could
not hav been prolonged.

The shooting vaa caused by a quar
rel between the three men over an al
leged shortage In Turner s accounts,
for which he was threatened with
criminal prosecution.
The tragedy occurred in. the office
of the law Irin of Canter, Adams &
Mclntyre, In the Wall street district,
during the busy noon hour.
Turner was at oue time president
and treasurer of the Climax Bottling
company. In which Mallard and Ham
ilton were also interested. It Is al
leged that during his connection wltn
the company Turner was short about
S5000 in his accounts, and the deficit
was discoverl by experts who were
placed on his books. For three or four
months the partners had been making
an effort to secure a settlement, tat
Turner had neglected to settle. He
was threatsned with criminal prosecu
tion and doubtless became dsperate.
Today the three men met at the Wan .
street atflce and conferred for a time
over the shortage. With the remark,
"Well, here Is a check for tSCOO," Tur
ner drew his revolver and shot Mal

the discipline of the corps of cadets
of the academy has been very satis
factory throughout the year. He makes
the following reference to haalng:
"During the year there has been no
relaxation of proper effort to make
permanent the reforms already ac
complished bearing on Khe treatment
accorded new cadets by their elder
comrades. The regulations governing
the subject have been carefully en
forced, and, with but one exception
that Is worthy of note, cadets have
shown a soldierly regard for their ob
ligations In the matter. The exception
referred to the first under he new
regulation is that of a cadet who
without authority, made a fourth-
class man assume a constrained po
sition and used threatening and abus-
l.inguage to him. For this offense
the cadet was brought to trial by
court-martial and, being found guilty,
was dismissed. ?.o one conversant
with the progress new cadets now
make apprehends any ill effect In
training from the passing of hazing."
Tho maximum number of candidates

471 cadets, divided into four classes.

from Venezuela. As a result of the ex
amination for admission during the

Tho health ot the cadets has been
very good although the barracks have
been overcrowded. The board ot

of Improving this condition, the report

secure the permanent eradication of
mosquitoes by draining a..d Ailing all
pools and marshes In the vicinity and
by conveying water running from
springs and reservoirs away under
ground.
