The ghastly dis covery wiut mad by Oeora. t'offentxr ry of thl cKy. Mr. Coffenlierry hud called upon a friend reiUInt; near Toungs bay and waa returning by way of a path which lead to the tmtln road, Being familiar with the territory he was traversing, hi: U'ft the path a few hundred yards from the athletic grounds for the pur pose of mora nulrkly reaching the road. He had gone hut a short distance throuirh the woods 'when he noticed the form of a man lying almost directly In front of him. At the time of the dis covery Mr. Coffcnberry did not think but that the man was alive, but was ruthfr surplted that anyone should evk so isolated ft spot to take a snooze, and so addressed the Inanimate figure. Receiving no reepons h advanced a step and wa4 horrified to find himself facing ft grinning skull. The body was lying At full length on the ground, but the head -vtia raised, being suspended by a leather trap, one end being looped about the neck and the other being b tin tied to the limb of ft tree about two feet from the ground.. It wsa apparent the man had deliberately strangled himself. After carefully locating the spot In hi mind Mr. Coffenberry hurried to the home of Andrew Asp and notified the coronr by telephone. Deputy Cor oner Max Pohl soon reached the place with conveyance and the body waa removed to the undertaking rooms. rtrsldes some paper, found In the dead man's clothe, ft sack waa lying near the body, which contained the sum of 113 In coin. He was Identified without difficulty. The flesh had al most entirely fallen from the face and the body generally waa In an advanced atate of decomposition. It la aupposed the sulci.!,', for such It undoubtedly is, waa committed upward, of two months ago. N. 0. Nelson I. supposed to have been about 40 year, of age. He had resided for ft long time at Seaside, where he had property Interest. It la aald he followed no particular vo cation, but performed labor of different kinds. When he mysteriously disap peared over two montha ago. It waa known that he waa not right In his mind and hi. unusual death I. account ed for by reason of hi. deranged con dition. Coroner Pohl will return to the city today and will decide aa to an Inquest and the burial. There are no known relative In this part of the country. hr guard rail caught on ft short pile. A a the tide fell, the ateamer toppled over, and When her position waa dis covered she was nearly full of water. The steamer Jordan waa conveniently near and pumped out the Mayflower, which cam. through without damage. Had the' mishap not been discovered for anothre half an hour, the steamer would have been at the botom of the river in the morning. . ; ; : ' , HARRIMAN AND HAMMOND Two Capitalists To Be Identified . In A Business Way. In recent Issue of the San Fran cisco Call the statement Is mndc that E. H. Harriman, during hi short visit in the Bay City was in lengthy conference with A. B. JUmomt, Har riman left Han Francisco several day. ago and returned to the east. While there, however, he spent mmh of his time with Hwnmond, , - Harriman i. very anxious to outflank the Bant a Fe In the .crumble fJf south ten coast trade. He ha. purch ased the California Northwestern, which will put him Into Eureka, a valuable point for which both mads have been contend ing. Hammond practically own. all the choice timber land In Humboldt county, and Hammond1 realize, that he will be powerful ally. Hammond own. what Is called the Eureka At Klamath railway, running north out of Eureka, and only ft short time ago he declined the offer of the Banta Fe, which' wished to purchase the line. The Call suggests that he has perhaps changed his mind and that the road will pass Into Harrt man'a handa. , All theeie -novementa tend to confirm the belief that Harriman and Hammond are very friendly and that their busi ness Interests are closely identified. Doubtlesa the business friendship will extend to Mr. Hammond's northern In terests, and It would not be surprising If tie were to allow htai Astoria road to become part of the Harriman. ays tern. That Harriman intenda making a strong bid for an outlet here 1. evi dent from hi. activity In other quart era, where he b roughing up things with his rivals.. If he should become Interested In tbe Astora road tha port would enjoy ft great advantage, tor Harrman Is at the head of a system which operate, without regardi to the expenditure of million.

' .": SINGULAR ACCIDENT. A singular accident that almost sent Captain Plckernlira ateamer Mayflower to the botom occurred during Tuesday night. The Mayflower waft lying at Fishers' " dock and" during the night ACCIDENT TO PLEASURE PARTY. Mrs. Lacey of Nahcotta, Wash., Misa Matthewa of Nahcotta, Misa Lidwell and Misa Birdie Lacey of Astoria, took carriage yesterday afternoon and drove out to the Lewi, and Clerk. About four mile, from town tha tongue lipped out of tht neckyoke and the carriage brought up at the bottom of a hill in a damaged condlton. The horse did not become frightened, else greater damage would have resulted. The ladle 'phoned In to Prael ft Cook', table and Manager Etgner went to the rescue of the stranded party. It was at first reported that one of the ladle, had been Injured, but this waa erron eous. . -L WILL USE ELECTKICITY.

During the meeting one candidate' Was' Initiated. " - - " An uprlver salmon packer, writing to a friend In thla city, express the opinion that; unless radical step are at once take to protect the blueback salmon, this variety of fish will soon entirely disappear, . The b'ueb&ck is the finest of all 1hr that are suitable for packing purpose and bring a high price. The flesh Is rich and much of the river's fame ha been brought by .he blueback, the extermination of which would be a serious blow to the salmon Industry, J ' The gentleman who expresses the tonc&m tit the future of the blueba'k h long studied the habits of the sal mon. He attributes the deciln in the supply of blueback to .the failure- of the state of Oregon and Washington to properly protect their fisherlet In terests, and be la of the opinion that the blueback may never agan be a plentiful fish. In part hi letter says: '1 do not think that we will ever again sea the day that we could pack ZOW or 3000 cases of blueback 8 half-pound can to the case). Under our present system of protection, the blueback is becoming a thing of tbe past. This class of fish doe not enter the river until lata In April, and by July 15 the run Is over. A we have no closed season during this time, it Is Impossible to elecure a supply by mean of gear for propagation purpos es. ' Unless tht defect Is remedied, ex termination of the blueback must en sue. '.'. i.-v-;; .V , "At an evidence of the decline of the supply of blueback, It 1 only neces sary f or me to aay that we have not packed In excess of 1000 case yearly for the past four year. By case I mean four doxen half-pound cans. "The blueback salmon swims closer to tbe surface of the water than the chinook salmon and ateelhead, and con sequently 1. much more easily fished out I am of the opinion that the blueback will surely be exterminated units pro vision la made for its protection. I malsQ of tbe belief that unless clos ed seasons are provided for. your low er river canneries like those of the up per river, will soon be for sale as old lumber. Under the present system the supply will not last more than 10 years. , "The blueback has had no protection whatever; no attention has been paid to them nor have they been spawned. Their decline furnishes evidence of what "will become of your chinooke and ateeiheads without protection for a certain time. "In my estimation, the refusal of the states of Oregon and Washington to pas. a strict Sunday closed law, with a provision In it to burn every piece of gear found In operation and another provision that would place the owner of such gear In the penitentiary every Sunday during the season, waa the greatest mistake ever made by those with whom the protection of fishing rests." Fish Warden Van Dusen recently stated to a representative of The Astor Ian that he contemplated Installing a blueback hatchery at Wallowa lake. Every year millions of little fish are seen making their way out . of this lake, and It Is believed the fry are blue- backs. The location la an Ideal one and will unquestionably be utilised. If so, the supply of this desirable fish may be Increased to Its former propor tions. 1 ; .
