The last slough Is bejng diked on the Dement place out on the Lewis and Clark river. This lost portion of the great dike Is being put In by hand and requires 6000 yards of earth. There Is a large force of men at work, but owing to the recent bad weather little could be done. For this reason com pletion of the dike will . bedelayed, but the foreman In charge Is satisfied that the dike will be a substantial one. The hotel lobbies are crowded from early mom til late at night, and the approaching primary fight is the sole topic of conversation. Representatives of the Mitchell and Simon factions are working with might and main and each Is claiming the advantage. The Mitchell wing seems to have the ad vantage, but It Is everywhere conceded the fight will be close. The Mitchell Ites are waging the best campaign, and, wtlh the advantage of being In power, seem to have a safe lead, ; The gasoline launch Clara, b tSng bullded by P. A. Bergland at the old Smith cannery In the east end, was measured by J. C. McCue, clerk for the collector of customs. The launch wilt be taken north to the Nushagak river, where It will be used as a ten der for one of the canneries there. The engine will be Installed when the boat reaches Its destination. It has not been announced how It will be taken . north, but presumably will be shipped on some north-bound vessel. Following are the dimensions of the launch: Length, 32.2; beam, 9.4; tlepth, 8.8; tonnage 8 tons, gross, and 6 tons net. There is a general demand in As toria for more and better houses which can be rented by strangers coming into the city to locate, and by many fum tiles who are unsatisfactorily housed, owing to a scarcity of dwellings. It Is almost impossible to obtain a bouse without securing an option long before It Is vacated, and furnished or unfur nished rooms for housekeeping are equally as rare. Blessings and good rentals await the Investors who will erect cottages or flats for rent Hereafter the accounts of the Lewis and Clark exposition will be audited by W. R. Mackenzie. Mr. Mackenzie, who Is a well known expert account ant, has received the appointment to fill the vacancy caused by the depart ure of Director Adolphe Wolfe for Europe In the Interest of the expo sition.

' The company held forth la the dining room, and pit and panic were the games played. A pllceman tried to break Into the room during the progress of the party, being under the Impression that a miniature Russo-Japanese war was being waged, but upon being assured that it waa only panic, no arrests wee made. The young people enjoyed themselves until a late hour, and after refreshmenta were served departed to their several homes. ' An Interesting session of the Carpen ters' Union Was held last evening in Carnahan's hall. Besides the transac tion of much Important business, a social good time was enjyed by all present Refreshments were served, and the members generally gave them selves up to the Jollity of the occa sion. It was intended to elect dele gates for the approaching state elec tion of federated leaders, but as for mal notice had not been received, the election was deferred until the next meeting. The state federation elec tion will be held at Oregon City the last Saturday of this month. The Washington dispatch telling of Senator Fulton's passage at arms with Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Armstrong explains the mystery which has surrounded the suspension of the crew of the customs tug Patrol. The little vessel was wanted over on the sound. It was charged against the crew that they had caused damage to the tug by rough handling and the charge of Incompetency was preferred. It was the plan to cause her to be sent to the sound for repairs and to keep her there permanently. Senator Ful ton could not see matters In this light, however, and he won handily in his argument with the assistant secretary. Now that the sound scheme haa fallen through, the charges against the men will unquestionably take a similar course. Lewis W. Robertson has lost his suit to recover $1480, double the amoun he claims to have lost by playing faro at ttie Portland Club, conducted by Peter Grant and Nate Solomon. The Jury retired from Judge Sears' court where the hearing was held, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and re turned a sealed verdict two and a half hoi?rs later.

Give us a' trial. WHERITY, RALSTON & CO. , Astorlans who have been In Port land tor the past tew days report that politics is the all absorbing topic there. The contract for Improving Frank lin avenue between Thirty-sixth and Forty-third streets was filed with the auditor yesterday. The contractor is W. A. Goodln and the sureties W. T. Scholfleld and E. Hauke. Bonds are fixed at $5000, No time is set for the beginning of the work, but it is speci fied that it shall be completed by the end of this year. Councilman John Nordstrom io highly gratified at the happy termination of the controversy relative to the proposed improvement, and reiterated tils assurance yesterday that in the end the cost of the im provement will not fall on the city. He is satisfied that the Increased valu ation of the property to be affected will meet the outlay and said that the district to be opened up is a most im portant one. "It Is an excellent sec tion for home building," said Mr. Nordstrom, "and when the street is actually put through there Is no doubt that building operations will be begun. Residents and property holders are de lighted at the prospect of such con venient egress to the city and the whole affair Is cause for much con gratulation. It required much pulling and hauling to get the ordinance through calling for the improvement, but it will not be long before the un pleasant part of it all is forgotten." The following letter for publication was reeclved' yesterday by The Astor lan from C. N. Hess, the well known dairyman. Mr. Hess has his own laeas regarding dredging operations, and his communication, while not altogether lucid regarding details, Is convincingly original: "I heard this morning a div er was drowned off the Chinook dredge rhn huntlnir for thi ancnor. Tou will know all about It, but if there Is an Investigation and if there Is an in quiry as to what the dredge Is doing, and If Major Langfltt be impeached with the object of making him set the machinery In motion, or get out of the way. then I am anxious to tell )PjTBL pWAL to our new store at No. 530 Com mercial Street, we will make SPECIAL PRICES - i'l'l .

My complaint against the dredge is this: They propose to lay off Smith point untU tbey find a wasps' nest When there are millions of dollars worth of work they could do In this county. If it Is too rough to dredge on the bar with the Chinook, part of the crew could be transferred to the dredge Co lumbia, which could take the mud out of Tounga bay and Youngs river, and deposit it on the bank in the shape of a dike, wagon road, motor line and breakwater from New Astoria to Tucket creek on the south bank of Toungs bay and the west bank of Youngs river to the great benefit of this county And it would not cost anything, only what the Chinook is now wasting.
