Protection of boat-pullers, fishermen and laborers engaged In the fishing business Is the purpose of a bill Intro duced by Representative Hahn of Clat sop county. Tho bill provides that every person who catches or transports ttsh has a Hen upon the same. The' measure has extended provisions its to the method by which a person may en force his claim. A bill Is In the house for a special election fn Columbia county to enable eltlsens of the county to express their choice of a plnee for a county sent. Places are to- be nominated by petition. The successful candidate must receive a majority of nil the votes cast.

The engine and boiler for the new steamer Melville, built for the ftlmpson Milliner company got entangled In a railroad wreck while enroute from the east and on being Inspected In Port land by Manager Cullender were found to be very good Junk, In consequence new machinery will have to be ordired. so the work of completing the steam er will be considerably delayed. The board of trustees of the Preaby terlnn church has rejected the bids sub milted for the building of the proposed new edifice. They were all of them larger than the rout as estimated from the plans, and the next step will he to have the work done at a less pries than the bids call for snd yet retain the plans already formed. Another call for bids will probably not be made. The Columbia River Fishermen's Protective union will hold an adjourned ni-etlng this evening. The olJtct of the meeting will be to dls- cuss the bill now pending in the slate legislature and introduced by Representative Hahn.

The banquet was greatly ap preciated and a good time generally was had. Word has reached the city that II. F. Iti-ewer, champion amateur swim mer of'the world, wll be here sometime next m'mth to practice his profession of piano tuning. Mr. Urewer has been here on different occasions nnd his prowess lu the water has been the marvel of everyone. Since his last visit to Astoria he contested for medajs at a Chicago tournament and overcame nil his competitors with apparent ease. While he not a professional swimmer, his recsrd Is reported to be unequalled by any. A handsome gold watch und a bushel of medals attest his many achievements. A runnawuy that waa attended with a remarkable, consequence occurred yesterday on Commercial street. One of Ross, Hlgglns' double tennis became frightened near the poetofflce and start ed up the street at breakneck speed. Efforts to stop them proved futile, but sifter they hud run three or four blocks two of Prael A Cook's wagons blocked the progress of the runaways. One of Prnel & Cook's drivers kept his wagon directly 'n fro.it of the runaway team, the frightened horses eventually collid ing with :t. One of th? runaway hom es was thriwn by getting his leg In the spokes of the Prxel A Cook wagon and the flight of the team was am 'ted. Apart from a broken pmgletree. no damage was done.

Belvertsj I, O., Albert Martin O. O.. J. F. Welch Jr. ' ' The secretary of the treasury has just Issued an Important ruling with reference to fishing operation In south eastern Alaska. The decision says in part: "It Is my Judgment that the re suits of fishing operations on said str-ams of southeastern Alaska Indi cats that the lu.iibcr of salmon taken Is larger than the capacity of the streams to produce, It having been as cerlatned that the persona engaged In catching salmon do not maintain fish hatcheries of sufficient magnitude to keep such streams fully stocked. It Is therefore ordered that the duration of the fishing season In the streams of southeaitern Alaska, between the par allels 69 degrees nnd 30 minutes north and 54 degrees and 40 minutes north la titude, and east of the 14tst meridian, be limited and not permitted until after tho 30th day of June of each year, pro vlded that the native Indians be al lowed to take salmon for use as food for their own consumption during the closed season thus established." Titer has been considerable discus. sion of late as to the orogin of the term "Inland empire." D. C. Ireland, who founded The Astorlan (the ery first Issue of which, by the way, contained a vigorous demand for common point rates, and In which appeared the ex pression In question), furnishes the fol lowing bit of history In his paper, the Moro Observer: "The term 'Inland empire." was oroginally applied to the regions tributary to the Columbia and Snake In the '70s, by the O. Man in The Astorlan, In his contention for an open river from Lewlston to the sea. Catching the right Idea, Tom B. Merry named his Dalles City paper the Inland Empire. The paper was short lived but the term has lived, nnd atlhough yet bottled up, expands with wonderful facility regardless of any assistance from Portland-the 'Fat Duck, Sitting upon the Pearly Edges of Prosperity." A sentiment expressed at the same time when the commercial conditions In Ore gon were the same as at present. We've log since ceased to write about an open river but still trust that old moss-covered, selfish and conservative Portland may yet do something In the matter of aiding the Inland empire. In the matter of aiding our Little Short Line the Columbia Southern Railway extension to Bend." Captain Prltchnrd of the British ship Glenesslln has oft?n made this port. He was first here 25 years ago as second officer of the British ship Allegiance, which stranded Inside Sand Island, The vessel was floated at an expense of $25,- . 090 to her owners. The British ship City of Dublin went ashore to the south In the same year. The Glenesslln was built 18 years ago, and for the first three years her present master sailed her aa first officer. He has been In command for more than 15 years. The vessel holds two record passages fron; the coast of Africa, where" she Is bound on her present trip. She ran out from Astoria to Algoa bay four years ago In 75 days, or eight day less than the best previous trip, which had been made by a brand new Norwegian ship, The previous year the Glenesslln made the trip from San Fnnclsco to Algoa bay In 74 days. Which Is also a record She Is one of the best appointed and cleanest ships that 'ever entered this port, and visitors aboard always take occasion to commend the bright ap pearance of things. She carries 26 hands all told, and takes on her pres ent trip 2070 tons of flour, wheat and canned goods, Mrs. Prltchard ac companies her husband on the ship, The recent fire on the Glenesslln Is the first accident that has happened to Captain Prtlchard In all the years of his command of deep sea vessels. The fire was the result of efforts on the part of the men to get at the canned goods in the cargo. It was discovered early, and Captain Prltchard was at once called. He hastened forward and him self crawled between decks to the seat of the blase, being almost suffocated In doing so. The fire waa extinguish ed in about two hours. The loss to the Glenesslln's owners is considerable. The vessel Is still In port, but Captain Prltchnrd hopes to get to sea In a few days. Robert Norrls, who has returned ftf' ter six years absence In Alaska, Is the possessor ofvaluable properties near the Behrlng sea, 15 miles from the coast, about 150 miles from Nome, on the Sum nor peninsula' at a point called Port Clarence. Mr. Norris went to Alaska in search of elusive "tin," and tin he got and "tin he will doubtless get. While at Nome and In the vicinity last summer reports were constantly reach ing him that tin existed in paying quantities on the Sumner peninsula so an expedition of about a dosen men, Mr. Norrls being among the number, was formed, to Investigate, Arriving at Port Clarence prospecting: at once begun and results were gratifying In deed.

The most valuable deporlts are In the bed of Buck creek and it is there that Norrls' claim Is located. The news that tin had been discovered at once created a furore of excitement at Nome and other camps In the section and any number of prospectors throng ed to the spot. However, they got the leavings, although it Is quite evl dent that a vast area contains more or less of the d-poslt. In all 19 claims have been taken up by the Norrls crowd. , A quantity of the ore has been extracted from the bed of the creek and upon belngl, assayed was found to contain on an average of about 70 percent tin the lowest being 6?. 8 percent. This Is considered by experts to be a very good showing. The placer also works well and a sackful) of grsvel which Mr. Norrls gathered at random yielded 70 1-2 percent. Tin, as Is' well known. Is obtained almost ex cxluslvely from the British possesions, United States territory yielding i:t: or none. In view of this fact he val ue of this discovery in Alaska Is great ly enhanced. Mr. Norrls has In his possession specimens both In crude ore and the pure mineral. He will leave for the east In a few days for the pur pose of Interesting capital In opening up the mines.
