It has developed lint the health commissioner In bis Inflections lust summer con demned 40 cholera Infected hogs, a number of beeves that had died from consumption and two sheep that had died from pneumonia. While rr. Vox, the eminent European scientist, has ntteinptd to prove that meat so affected will not be transmitted to human being and admitting that such mlKht be true, It la nevertheless a fact that tho very hlisi of having eaten such' Is enough to send a rohus.t man Into quick decline, It seems to have been well Is noun in official circles for an In definite period that meat has been Im pure hut the erroneous Idea, ihot In or der to retoedy the evil facta must tSe kept from the public haabeen strictly ad hered to and only late exposures have brought tho disputing atate of affairs to light.

Whipple telephoned The As toilun from Portland ln"t night, to offer the suggestion that the resump tion of work at ihe Clatsop mill should lw iiiadtt the occasion for a demonstration on the part of the peo ple. ll-1iouht It would be a rattling ki od Bvhenm for the' ether manufac turing Induxtrlea of the city and the steamboat to celebrate the event by the blowing of whistles. The idea I a good one and will doubtless be act ed upon. Mr. Whipple thought the re- 'building of this mill was of sufficient Importance to warrant some demon stration, and that a spirit of vnthu slasin would be aroused by It He al so spoke of a proposal for the estub llshment of a new mill here, and said he would furnish purtkulars by mail. The matter, he added, would proirly come before the commercial bod lea or the joint manufacturer committee. It is gratifying to note that Mr. Whipple I hustling for Astoria, and It can truth fully be said that more men like Mr. Whipple would do much for Astoria. I. H. Taffe. n well known s&lir.on packer ot t'elllo, write a letter to The Aatorian In which he condemns sein ing operation on the upper river. Ho bellevse tho Interests of the Industry are uienlly hiumej by thl ort of fishing, a Hie Salmon are not given a chance lo reach the spawning wat-ra. Ills letter follow, "My ug gesiton In regard to the detrimental ef fect fall seining ha on the fishing In dustry In ihls river haa no bearing whatever on the lower river, where It is only benefit. It I to the advan tage of all Interested In the fishing In dustry to produce u many young fry as possible ut the least expense and prevent the use of any form of gear that will destroy countless thousands of young fish, when we are paying to stock th river with them. Seufert Bros, are running three aelnes every fall that destroy spawn enough to keep half of the canneriee on the river up plied with fish, and a stop must and shall he put ftrlt." Coming from an uprlver runner, thl letter has peculiar IK n I flea nee. Mr. Will Hell reports having spent a profitable time during his pro longed stay In Alaska, but Is pleased to be once more with old friends and to be able to visit again the old familiar haunts. Shortly after hla arrival In the north Mr. Cell In company with other started a quart mill but owing to the difficulty of transportation the project wa latter abandoned. Then a hotel Was started, but a snowslldc: which wiped the building off the map' smothered Mr. Hell' aspirations along I that line. Fortunately the proprietor! happened to be on the outside when I the slide occurred, and so escaped with his life. For the past two year Mr. Doll has been engaged with the Brit ish Yukon Transportation company and ha done well. The opinion of Mr Bell us to the future of Alaska coincides with what has been expressed by other Astnrlan who have returned recently. He thinks that the mining of copper will develop Into a live Industry in the near future. Tho ore will yield WO to the ton, but at present the expense of shipping It out eats up all the pro fits no that for a while the business will not be engaged In extensively. Those who are acqnnlnted with the sit uation, however, claim that this stale of affair cannot last a great while longer, the proposed railroads Into the copper .districts being an assured pos sibility. Mr. Hell will remain In As toria for an Indefinite period. ESCAPED FROM PRISON FO ItTHTK VEN8 1 Nt'KN 1)1 AH Y HAS DItAIMUAItEI. M)terlOftljr Regained Liberty From Underground Cell Oc cupied by Him. The mystery which haa surrounded the repeated attempts to destroy the new government fortification at the mouth of the Columboa I not a cir cumstance to the manner In which the confess d Incendiary, Private Thomp son, ha escaped from the underground prison In which he wa confined at Fort Steven. At 6 30 on Monday ev ening Thompson wa in hla cell when til dinner wa taken to him, but dur nig the night he disappeared as mys teriously If the earth had opened and swallowed him. All effort to ef fect hi recapture have resulted In fail ure, and there seems to be little prob ability that he will ever be taken. The escape of the soldier ha brought out the Interesting story of his origin al rapture. After repeated attempt to burn the post, the secret service department of the government wa cal led upon for assistance. An officer wnm detailed to Investigate, and, ar riving at the fort In disguise, enlisted as private. Dettctlve Simmons of Portland was at first accredited with the clever work that landed Thomp son In prison, but this, it now trans pires, tin erroneous. The secret ser vice man had been at the post only a few days w hen hi suspicions centered on Thompson as the guilty man. On payday Thompson came to Astoria to spend hi salary, and the agent follow, ed him. Here the two became quite friendly, and when the detective sug gested to Thompson that he was to de sert the soldier announced a similar drt.'rmlnatljn. It was planned that there should be a double desertion, and the two men left Astoria Together for Portland. At Portland Thompson ,ln an outburst of confidence, related to the detective his entire connection with the Incendiarism at Fort Steven. He said he wa the ringleader of the Incen diaries, and named two other soldiers a accomplices. After placing hand cuff on Thompson, the secret service man wired to the fort to have the other two m?n arrested, and they were taken Into custody. When Thompson wa hrouM home he wa closely questioned by the of- i fleet. At first, It is said, he declined to make any statement, but afterwards 1 he broke down and cave the officer weeping oral and written confession. He told of hi connection with th das tardly work that had bfren carried on, and assume 1 the entire responsibility. Thi men whom he had at first Impli cated a accomplice wer, he ald, In nocent. , Ite had started all the fire and wa alone to blam. The sol dier were then released, but Thompson wa sent to the underground cell to await trial by courtmartlal. W hen th entry took the culprit brewfast to him yesterday momlngr, Thompson wa gone. During the night he had. In some mysterious manner, effected hi escape, nd there wa no thing to Indicate bow he had managed to regain hi liberty. The country about wa scoured, but no trace of the missing man wa found. There are two entrance to the cell In which Thompson had been confined, and a sentry wa contantly stationed before one of the door. A ventilator extmds to the cell frcm the ground above aflT It la the belief that wrench wa slipped through the tune to the prisoner, who loosened the bolts of the door and made hi escape. That he wa not .llacovered within the fortl i flcatlon I a mystery wnloh ha non iilusiwd the officer and men at the post. On Monday a boatman wa seen on the river near Stevens, and hi actions aroused suspicion at the post. When the escape of the prisoner became known It was at once thought the sol dier hid bs.n taken aboard one of the vessels lying In the lower harbor. -The quarantine tug Electro wa Impressed Into service and visited all the ships near the mouth of the river, but the search was futile. Meantime search Ing parties were scouring the country around the fort, but no better results were obtained there. The effort of the officer will now be directed to the capture of the men who assisted Thompson In hi daring plan to escape. The Impression pre vailed at the post, after Thompson' confession, that he was mentally un balanced, and that he was alone in the fiendish undertaking to burn the fort. From the fact that he was assisted in escaping from the prison It would seem that he must have had accomplices, and the capture of these men would go far toward unraveling the mystery which has characterized the affair from the start. The penalty for the offense to which Thompson had confessed Is Imprison ment at hard labor for 20 years. EXERCISES IN SCHOOLS tlon among th poor of th city of il donations received at th school.
