The steamer Redondo arrived down from Portland at 7 o'clock last evening and discharged 20 Ions of freight at the Columbia Rlvr Packers' associa tion wh irf and left out at once for Tll nmook to load lumber. The freight was Itrouicht up from San Francisco by the Redondo which arrived In port Tii.'H.l iy. At that time nothing was discharged here, the steamer leaving up Immediately for Portland. An event of much Importance to the general public Is the sweeping clear ance unle now under way at the popu Inr exi'liiHlce boot nnd shoe store of Petersen' Drown. When a stock of this sire Is offered at special sale, ev erything ophi and nothing withheld, and prices way down to bedrock, It Is no wonder that a run I made on the firm which bids fair to clean them out of Roods before the time Is up.

Everybody appears to be actively In terested in the stranded whale and many there are who go to see the mon ster. Yesterday the noon train was packed with Astorlans eager to get a look at the whale that formerly lived In the north sea. In fact whaleltl has spread to Portland and a whole train load of people are coming down next Sunday, a special excursion being ar ranged to accommodate the many who have evinced a desire to make the trip, Indeed It has developed In a striking manner thtit folk do love to gaxe up on a dead whale, If the whale had only known that he would, In hi pres ent position, be such a source of at traction, he doubtless would have long ago eagerly stranded himself and would never have run any risk of be ing harpooned, and converted Into oil by a lot of ordinary prosale whaler, The army board which was appoint ed to distribute fr.00,000 for post ex changes,, amusement rooms, at army posts, has allotted tM.000 for Vancouver barracks.

A reilil"nt of East Astoria called at The Astorian office last night to regis ter compl ilnt against vloluUon of the quarantine regulations. Me mi I.I that a man named Jackson, In whose fami ly scarlet fever hud prevailed, boarded a crowded car last night end rode down town. He was neked if the quaran tine had been raised at his home, and replied that It hod not; that he thought there wn no longer any danger. The complainant said he thought Mr. Jack son's Judgment might possibly be. In error, and expressed the opinion that the proiier authorities should see to It' that persons quarantined should re main so until official action had been taken. City Physician Cordlner stated to a reporter that It was his intention to cause all Infected premise to be thoroughly rumlgatel as soon as the patients were convalescent. A circular from Charles M. Reeves, secretary of the committee on legis lation of the St. Louis fair, urges the prss of this state to do everything possible to induce the Oregon leuMa ture to make liberal provision .'or a creditable exhibit. The f!tTer says in part: "The enterprising state of Ore gon has always played a prominent port In the development of the north west and In every line leading to the advancement of humanity. Her son and daughters are among the best of eveiy state und territory In the Un Ion, and her social, commercial nnd civil Influence extends throughout the whole. We ask you to do everything In your power to pave the way lo a liberal appropriation by the legislature to enable Oregon to be so well repre sented that It will not be second to any other state. Wc are especially anxious to have Oregon do her full duty In this matter on account of the moral effect it will have on the Pacific coast states. Laying nsldn nil sentiment and state pride add considering it strictly in the light of a business proposition, a liber al appropriation by the legislature would be repaid many fold, within the next few year." "I'm willing to wager my life against six bits that C. W. Fulton will be Ore gon' next United State senator," said C, J. Curtis yesterday afternoon, Now, all Aotorlans believe that Mr. Fulton will surely be elected, but even the most sanguine would net-Hate before making a wager of the sort mentioned by Mr, Curtis, , Knowing this, a re porter asked him what, made til.n so confident. "Well, I'll tell you," was th'. reply. "Susman has bet Sam Har rl $20 against $15 that Fulton will get there. To my certain knowledge. Sua. man. never lost a bet In his life, and the very fact that he has placed hi money on Fulton Is sufficient to convince me that the Astoria man will be elected. No one would have the temerity to say thnt Susman Is tn possession of ex clusive Information on this and any other subject, but Just the same the fact remains that he always bet right. You can put It Jown a absolutely cer tain that Fulfon will recelv tht vote of a majority of the member of the legislature," Spiaklng leiiouily, Mr. Curtis sold ha thought threa or four ballut would suffice to bring about Mr. Fulton' lection. II li firmly of the opinio that-Oeer and the other alleged aspirants have no show. "At this session Mr, Fulton will have no organized opposition," said Mr. Cur. tls, "In which respect he la more for. tunate, perhaps, than any other candi date who hag come up In recent year Those men who ara supposed to be out for the toga are fighting Individual bat tie, and have all along and ere still In each other' way. This, of course, give the popular candidate all the best of matters, and I will be greatly urpr!ed If Mr. Fulton I not success ful. I cannot conceive of a possible arrangement that can now be effected to bring about hi defeat." The Astoria Progressive association convened In regular session last even In nt 8 o'clock with President Carna han In the chair. The principal bust nes of the meeting was the election of officers to serve for the ensuing year, and thla waa carried through without contest, each officer being elected unanimously. Following Is the result of the election: President, Harrison Allen; vice-president, Martin Foard; secretary, H. S. "Lyruan; treasurer. John GrllTin: board of directors, Ous Hllderbrand, Alb;rt Dunbar. A. S, Morse, F. L. Parker and O. I. Peter sen. An amendment to the eonatltu lion was Introduced by 8. 8. Cordon and wa adopted by the association af ter going through the projier form. The constitution as amended now reads that no effort can hereafter be made tn collect money from the public In the name of the association without the full approval of the president. HI object In causing the constitution to be so amended, Mr. Gordon explained, was thnt things might be worked more on a systematic basl. curbing undue public subscriptions. Reports of the presi dent and secretary were read by Secre tary Lyman. The report of the presi dent was a brief review of the year's work, and dealt particularly with the outlay made on the proposed city park. Some effort, the report urged, should be made to get the value of the money paid out back. The report of the sec retary treated of the financial condition and membership standing of the asso ciation. During the evening the body was entertained by an informal and somewhat racy road report by William Larson, member of the road committee. The Iewls and Clark roud was the burden of Mr. Larson's remarks and aside from passing up a few reflections on the harmonious condition of things In that region, offered some wise sug gextions on the subject. The point at which there apears to be the principal difference Is the location of the road, so it was finally decided by motion to up point a committee of three to Investi gate the advisability of relocating the road from the rock, crusher to the Clat sop schoolhouse, the Idea being to avoid heavy grade."' The 'committee Is composed of Judge Taylor, F. L. Parker anl Martin Foard. It was sug gested that crushed rock be used in constructing the road and this mat ter will also be reported on by the com mittee. Reports of the other commit lets were Informally given, but con tained many valuable point and sug gestions. The session waa a good one and the members felt much benefit ted by having attended.

Levy of One and One-Half .MIIU to Ho Marie for Lew is and Chirk Bridge. The county court met yesterday In regular session, but adjournment waa taken until yday, after the admitting or claims and reading of reports from the district attorney. Commissioner Clarke could not be In attendance yes terday, so the matter of levying taxes for the year was laid over until today's session. The most Important matter taken up yesterday was that of the construc tion of a nw courthouse. The legal ity of the plan to build a Joint court house and city hall had been referred lo the district attorney, who reported adversely. According to the report, the state constitution specifically pro. vldes against the use of county funds Jointly with the fund of any other corporation, although tt will be pos sible for the county to build Its court house ami leahe part of ft to the city. It can be stated positively that a levy for a new courthouse will be made this term. The extent of the levy will depend entirely on the ag gregate of all other levies, the object of the court being to keep within the amount of the total levies of last year. Indications are that it will be possible to fix the courthouse levy at 2 mill. A levy for l.ils purpose can not be made for more than one year, and It will be necessary, in consequence, to fix new levies every year until the neces sary amount is raised. In discussing the matter a member of the county court said yesterday: "So far as I am able to learn, there Is no objection to the courthouse levy. For a time those who favored the Lewis and Clark bridge levy were op posed to the courthouse levy, believ ing that the two conflicted. However, a levy for the bridge will be made, and I anticipate no further opposition to the courthouse levy- The bridge levy will be 1.5 mills for four year, and we will probably make a levy of 2 mills for the courthouse. The assessed valua tion Is 13.184,784. and the courthouse levy will net more than $6000 for the first year." Apart from the fixing of tax levies. the court will, at its present session, appoint a road supervisor and draw a list of Jurors. Yesterday the court named Dan Rlerson as Justice of the peace of Mishawaka precinct, to suc ceed Justice E. Blrchard, and approved the bonds of K. E. Johnson, supervisor of road district No. 12. The district attorney, reporting on the question as to repair of county roads that cross railroad tracks, stat ed that the railway companies were re quired to keep in repair those portions of public highway lying within their right of way, including the crossings.
