The Chamber's recommendation was to the effect that the greatest need of dredging wa In the anchorage between buoy I and 9, or that expanse of water from Smith point to Flavel, At the preaent time the depth there Is not sufficient to accomodate large vessel at extremely low water, and Major Langfltt was requested to have the dredge Ladd work there whenever pos sible. . In hi reply he states that he la un willingly forced to slat that It will be ImpoMlble to use the Ladd at that part of the harbor. The dredge hi kept busy, he says, scouring out the ship channel above Astoria, and the opinion to ex pressed ha Ills pressed that little codld be accomplish ed In the few odd days that the Ladd might bs available for the purpose rec ommended by tha Chamber, c- ' -nf The letter Is concluded with the sug gestion that perhaps the big dredge, Grant, now under preparation for work at tha mouth of the Columbia; may be utilised to deepen the harbor below the City. ' ' The Chamber Is not at all disposed to Set the matter rest, and further corres pondence will take place with the gov ernment offlclalf.s Recently the Chamber instructed Secretary Hlgglna to addresalettera to the members of the Oregon congres sional delegation, asking them to use their Influence with the secretary of war In securing a relocation of the harbor line. Last evening a favorable reply was received from Congressman Williamson. Similar replies have also been received from- Messrs. Fulton, Mitchell and Hermann.

A proposal waa received from S. F. Lever, of Eureka, Cal., for the erection here of a woolen mill. Mr. Lever says he understands the people of Astoria are- desirous of securing an enterprise of this character and believes he haa the mill that will fllll the bill. The plant la new, he says, and he will locate here provided a stock company la formed locally, and 315.000 In cash Is subscribed for stock, an additional $5,000 to be aubscrtbed In lumber. The matter waa referred to the manufactories commlt tle. ,-. The matter of the erection of a mon ument at tha alte of Fort Clatsop wa given considerable attention. B.

BOWLERS PREPARE FOR BUSINESS During ifie recent visit to this city of the Multnomah Club bowling team ar rangementa were made for a return match when the new alleys of the Port land organization are installed. The old alleys ai now worn out and are being torn up. It la expected the new alleys will be ready for use by October 1.

R. & N Steamen are Affected Local mlllmen are very much dis turbed because of a new lumber rate that haa Just been put into effect out of this city. The rate shows a big In crease over former rates, and mlllmen aver It will play havoc wlih their busi ness In the fruit district of California. The new rate affects all points on the Southern Pacific and applies aa well on the O. R. aV N, steamers Tunning to California. The old rate on box shook wa 13.50 by water and 34.10 by rail out of Astoria, but the new rate, which became effective August 20, Is 34.50 by water and f by rail. v Corresponding Increase ha been made In the rate on lumber sent out by rail. The old rate onHresaed Bumber was 33 per ton, or about 33 per thous and feet It haa been Increased to 3$. The Increase on rough lumber la even greater, being about 33. The new rate applies to Portland aa well as to Astoria, but the Oregon me tropolis enjoy some distinct advant ages. Those points to which Astoria ships most of its product are now prac tically cut off, the rate to Marysvill, for Instance, being $1 hlgtier from As toria than from Portland. The rate Is 32 greater from Portland to Los An geles than from Astoria, irat local firms do little shipping to that point ' The mlllmen of this city are not at all disposed to take tha worst of mat ters and it la whispered around that they will take ateps to run an Inde pendent steamer out of Astoria. An As torlan man-who Interviewed some of the -local mlllmen yeaterday was told that plana' for the future were not yet In shape to be divulged, but waa as sured that the matter would not be passed up without a fight.

FISH ARE TOO LARGE MANY SARDINES IN THE RIVER BUT ARE UNFIT FOR PURPOSES OF PACKING There Is a great run of sardines In the river Just at' preaent and large flocks of sea gulls followed the fish In to the river.
