The lines were established many years ago, before the 8 nag island Jetty had ruined 'Astoria harbor, and there baa been no change except in the east end since that time. The result is that there Is 'very poor depth at many Im portant points, It is learned that an Astorlan who Is anxious to build large wharf hae been trying to buy 800 feet of frontage that would afford aood depth. He eecured an option of property between the co-operative can nery and the Tallant-Grant cannery but the best depth to be found there waa Is 1-2 feet Afterawrda be offer ed $25,000 for frontage near the O.

Mr. Smith hopes to be able to perfect plans for a summer service tween the north and south beaches Which will make Intercourse between the rival resorts tar more easy than in the past. The genial superuueuoem thinks that there should not be so much lealousy between the habitues or pro prietors of the Oregon and wasnmgvon resorts, and that.

V CHARLES HEILB0RN & SON THE HOUSEFURNISHEHS - The weather was fine yesterday up to 2 p. m. when a southwest mow ann uo that caused a suspension of shlp- Dlmr operations. The tug Wallula had. one outside and. picked up the schooner W. F. Oarms, from Pan Francisco to Astoria, and started to tow her into port. About the tune the tow was stiuted the southwest blow came on. and., with the ebb tide, compelled the tug to drop the schooner, which put back to sea. The wind Increased in velocity and the indications last night were that a storm would prevail for some hours to come. resident James W. Welch, of the Chamber of Commerce, has wired on behalf of the chamber to the Oregon delegutloit In both branches of con gress, urging the members to use their influence looking to the passage of tne Lewis and Clark fair appropriation bill in the house. The chamber had re ceived a telegram from Henry E. Reed, secretary of the Lewis and Clark fair corporation, urging the aid of the local body, and In accordance with this re ouest Mr. Welch promptly wired the senators, representatives and Hon. james A. Twaney, chairman of the house committee on expositions. The telegram to the delegation follows: "We urgently ask you to do all in your power for passage of senate bill through house appropriating $1,775,000 for aid to Uwls and Clark exposition with amendments as to details deemed advisable. Thsi exposition should be helped, as tt represents the. "acquisition of much territory front whicn many states were formed." This communi cation was, In substance, duplicated to the chairman of the committee. Sim ilar action Is being taken by the com mercial bodtee throughout the north west, and the strong pressure brought to bear upon congress leaves no doubt but that the final passage of the bill is certain. The scheme for financing the sea wall proposal is one that will "cause much interest In the city. It is proposed that the property benefited be bonded to se cure payment of the Improvement. Each lot In the Improved district would thus be pledged, the mortgages to be taken up by a security company, which, In turn, would issue bonds to the amount of the work. The bonds woud hir interest and mature 10 years after the date of their issuance. It Is reason ed that the seawall would so enhance property in 10 years as to more than pay for the work. Some of the cost mlcht he defrayed by popular contrt- at Seattle. The UUliuiit " " - entire matter Is to be discussed at the meeting to be held Tuesday' night, when steps will be taken to sound sen timent among all of the property own- Thnw who decline to era iiutrreai-cu. , take up with the proposal might be hrouaht to terms by excluding their property from the benefit of the sea wall.
