Only one .week later Jtu British bark Whlstlebank sailed from Antwerp and consequently should have been hero more than a month ago. It Is generally believed that both vesseb are experiencing stormy voyages, and for this 'reason they have been una voidably delayed.) They are supposed to be somewhere between Capo Horn and tho mouth of tho Columbia, and the recent heavy gafes very likely proved an advantage to them by drlv them up tho const at a very lively speed. The La Fontaine lost a good charter by not arriving before January Superintendent Gardner has novel scheme for keeping runaway boys at the Boys and Olrls home at Port land. It is nothing mors or less than to dress the young fugitives in girls clothes. Last fall Osmond Helse wu rigged up as a girl and was dubbed "Daisy." This was humiliating it "Daisy," but it prevented him from running away. On one occasion he was slmost adopted for a girl, but the mistake was discovered in time. An other runaway is now In female attire at the home and is known to the otbei boys as "Carrie." If Helse. the II-year-old horse theif. Is sent back tc the home, he will be paired off with "Carrie," and "Daisy" will play wttt "Carrie." The morning pspsr is tho Journsl that is read, and the paper which you are giving to the people of Astoria is by long odds the best ever published In the city, or any other city of 18, 000 that I ever heard of. Its makeup Is excellent, and from the general ex p reunion of Astorlans I am satisfied that it is regarded as even more than could reasonably be expected.' An advertisement In it Is worth much nore to me than an advertisement In an evening publication,. Indicating that the morning paper is popular with the oeoole.

At yestordsy's seesion of ths oounty court an order was made levying poll tax of S3 on all men between the nges of 21 and 50.

' ' Several sailing vsssels en route tc this port are making unusually long passages. Two of them are coming from Antwerp with cargo, and had they made average time should have reached the mouth of the river some lme ago. The average passage from Antwerp is 140 days, but the French bark, La Fontaine sailed from there July 12. Henoe she has been out 185 days, and still no, advices have been received as to how close she is to he: The body of tho lats John Hauke was brought down from West port last night and Is now at the undertaking parlors of Coroner JVM. Three broth ers, Christ, Adolph. and Alfred Hauke acompanled the body and they are now In the city. Tho funra will be held some time Sunday and the Interment will be In Greenwood cemetery. rMr Hauke was the nephew of ErickHauke, the well-known merchant of the east end. Judging from report Ahe dock st Westport Is (very dangerous after night, a shadow casting in such a way as to deceive distances. An accident oc cut-red there yesterday that all but resulted fatally, a resident walking Into the river under almost the same conditions that caused the death of Mr.' Hauke. He was rescued after being In the water for a few' moments ,!' '-v '4 Ths cost of operating ths bar dredge Chinook Is about $400 dolly, or 111 000 per month, according to an auth oritative statement.' The salary of the master of the vessel is 1350, that of the chief engineer 3175, and othsr mem bera of the crew are paid proportion ately good wages. The sailors receive from ft0 to 350. In all there are 90 men aboard the big vessel, and her dally expense for provisions Is very heavy. At of he money is expended In Astoria. An officer of the Chinook expresses the opinion that her oper ations will play havoc with the crab supply.' Every time the dredge takes up 4000 tons of sand from the bar large numbers of crabs and founders are drawn up through the suction pumps. The crabs are of all sixes ranging from the younger ones to large fellowa weighing four or Ave pounds. The crew is thus bountlfuly supplied with shellfish and flounders H. E. Henderson, vice-president o the Eastern and Western Lumber Com pany, of Portland, believes a far east ern war would ruin the limber trade trade of the Columbia. Discussing the matter Mr. Henderson said: "Such a war would put a stop to all lumber shipments from Portland to China and Japan and to Siberia, and as this trade forma a large portion of the exports! the lack of demand would cause a sua pension In the manufacture of lumber to that extent. If "Russia and Japan get to fighting, the war will probably be a long and bitter one. Japan has been underestimated "and she would give Bussla all that she could do "at sea, and In fact all the Russian ports on the Pacific would be practically! closed to commerce In a short time Beside this, Japanese soldiers would destloy the Siberian railroad and thus prevent .Russia from recruiting her Siberian forces from the St. Peters burg side. I belleye that Japan cotjld bring Russia to terms single-handed and without the assistance of any of the other powers, but it would take time, and In the interim our Pacific coast lumber interests would suffer very much. We would feel it the more because the demand for lumber from January Clearance AND Mark Down 5ale ' AND These Are Sample Prices Regular tl.25acd fl.90 Wrappers yoarA choice this week for only ."c One lot Children's dresses that sold for 7Se, 98c and 31 25 your choice this j week lor , oc Men's emits that Save been telliog at f 12 JS0, 15 tod f 17 SO your choice tn es this week Boy's Ruita ibat have been selling, at f 32.75, 33, and 1825, your choice At qc for this week V'VJ MORSE DEPT.
