TOJASTORIA IN A CANOE OREGON CITY CLKKQYMAN, "AC COMPANIED BY HIS POO, WILL .TAKE, NOVEL VAOA ' .-- ,. TION TRIP. J .. A special dispatch to the Cegoninn from Oregon City says that Rev. Frank II. Mlxwell, pastor of the First I'r sbyttfii.ui church embarked on Wednesday morning, accompanied only by his faithful don, in a canoe mode by himself, his objective point being Astoria. . The reverend gentleman carries w Ith hhn provisions sufficient to Inst Mm during the entire Journey. He will camp out at night and ply the paddle during the day. His trip contemplates taking in all points of Interest on the lower Columbia. ,. Mr. Mlxwell personally superintend ed the .construction of the canoe in which the trip will be made. The canoe Is of small dimensions ,ind inly sufficient to accommodate tho small passenger list that constituted its cargo, - Mimic war In alt tjie Intensity of the real article, occasioned by the orders Issued to the officers of the forts on Puget sound and at the mouth of the Columbia river to wath out for Ad mlrsl Casey's fleet on Its return from the Aleutian Islands," ha resulud in the postponement" of the dance that was to have been given by the ser geants of Fort Stevens In ih post hall on Saturday night until Saturday, Au gust 2. At the present time the army and navy forces aw engaged fu maneuvers at the mouth of the Colun bia river. It Is known that Admiral Casey 'Meet, which was dispatched to the" Aleutian Isands to dlscovtr sites for coaling pur poses, will seen return, but the exact "Bate Is Indefinite, and the navy depart' iiicnt bus decided to test the value of the Puget sound forts, and, In fact, all of the forts In the vicinity, by setting them the task of locating the fleet on It return. They will have to pick up the fleet without any assistance what ever, and n this wny the department will determine the value of th fortl- ttcatlons. " ' - fc Heavy fogs are prevailing at the present time over the entrance to the straits. Experts have always con tended that undr the protection of the fog an enemy's lleet could slip by the Puget sound forts unobserved and es cape to the lower sound before the alarm could be raised. The forts at me mourn or me coiuinoia may not feature In the experiment, but the military are prepared. which accounts for the tostponement of the dance that was to have been given by the gallant yowng sergeant The soldiers at Forts Columbia and Stevens are steeping" on rhelr arms ready to meet an assault at any time. It Is not known what ship or squadron may appear, and at Fort Stevens, where the guns are - removed . about three-quarters of a mile from the fort. the latter place Is practically deserted. Everything- Is In readiness for a blood less encounter, and much depends on the outcome. - Port Townsend, it Is thought will Ixmofit by the maneuvers. The advaa tuge to Port Townsend from a change Is manifest from the fuct that Fort Worden Is located adjacent to this city. Port Townsend has beeu endeavor ing to secure the chnngo for several months, and the news that the effort was to be made to locate the fleet of Adn Iral Casey has led to the hope that Worden jpay demonstrate its superior ity. . . . Marine Notes. . . The four-masted schooner- J. H. Lunsmann, which sailed from Hono lulu July J9 arrived In port yesterday without cargo. Her outgoing cargo will be lumber. The. steamer Grace Hollar of the Dollar lin-j put in a,i appearance yes terday morning from Snn Francisco. She left up the river soon after to take on a curst) of lumber. The Gerald C. gasoline schooner, ar rived In yesterday morning from Nes tiiccii, wlwre she went on a cannery cruise. The schooner's next trip will be to Stletx. Local merchunts received a large ouantlty of freight yesterday from the O. It & N. steamer 'Columbia, which urrlved In from Can Francisco. The passenger list was large. One-sixteenth Interest In the barken tlne Katie Flleklnger has been trans ferred from Earnest. Seel lo Captain Charles Zautx, the price involved being $1,000. The necessary bill of sale was filed yesterday In the customs house. , ILWACO FISHERMEN IN TROU BLE Contempt of court is the Charge upon which nine fishermen of llwaco were arrested by Sheriff honey of Pa cific county, Washington, on Wednes day. The contempt consists of "their not heeding; an Injunction issued to prohibit them from fishing on land leased by J. B. Hockllss, on the south side of Sand Island, In tho mouth of the Columbia. That Is tlve language of the dispatches covering the arrests. The men arrested were Charles A. Da vis. Ed R. Sahders, E. O. Hushes. 'it. E. Bachou, A. H. Chaswell. William Anderson, William Dawson and Albeit Lassen. The first eight were operating seines and I.aiser, was receiving fish for both. The Injunction sought' by Hockllss was granted In July, but the men continued to tlsh and the warrant for their arrest followed. Watermelons direct from the, grower. JOHNSON BROS. Prisoners are the Infernos civilisation builds tn which to hide its mistakes. F. Hopklnson Smith in "The under dog." . . - . ; W. T. Chutter, who has been In Seat tle for the past two months in the In terests pt A. Booth sV Company, re turned to the city yesterday. Mr. Chutter Is Interested solely In the ship ping of frsh fish, the company that be represents being associated with the Chlopeck Fish company. Recently E. Chlopeck, president of the company, was adjudged Insane and committed to the asylum. This necessitated a reorganization, which was accomplish ed during Mr. Chutter stay In Seat tle. Mr. Chutter was appointed presi dent and manager of the company, w ith headquarter at Keauie. He .nil go there on or about August 17 and wlli spend most of his time In the sound metropolis during the continuance of the present arrangement While Mr. Chuttera interests rest solely In the shipping of fresh fish, he Is nevertheless In close touch with the salmon Industry generally, and, having been on the sound for so long a time, Is in' a position to cite Interesting facts In relation to the packing busi ness of that section. "The run of sockeyes." he said, "is exceedingly light and while some can ners are holding out In the hope of a good run. the general opinion is that while a spurt may brighten things up somewhat, a really substantial In crease will noj transpire. The sockeye to the sound region is what the chlnook Is to the Columbia, and an abundance or deficiency of the fish affects the two sections similarly. Humpbacks and silver-sides have been running quite freely, and In order to save their Chinese contracts the can nerymen may yet have to resort to packing- these inferior grades. Pack ers hesitate to do this, owing to the market already being overstocked. The price now being paid for sockeyes varies from It to 21 cents. The spring run of chlnook was quite good. This fish compares favorably with the royal Chinook, being of about the same else. The color, however, is not so good and the supply Is consid erably less, so this pack la merely In cidental, ',..'- "There being n close season for Washington, fish will doubtless be taken until the latter part of the month. Reports conflict, however, as to the date for the end of the packing season."

Is fixed up with tlsh pictures, tea and little, miniature boats so as to im itate a river or pond. The thing must have been very . realistic, as a king fisher was seen diving tor the fish, but the poor creature did not see the plate glass and the consequence was a stunned bird, which was picked up by the employes, thinking he was dead. He 'regained consciousness and is now on exhibition at the store as a proof of what high art decorating has come to, ss no doubt he thought he was after the real thing when he made a dive for tho ft ah.
