CHAS. HEILBORN SON Astoria's Leading House-furnishers vacation per annum with full pay ar eettlng about to prepare for pleasure tripe. The work of a fireman la con fining and the vacation will be most welcome to them. The Puiih Club met In regular se alon last evening. It wu expected the regatta finance committee would eub- mlt Ita report, but the committee wae granted additional time. The club wae ensured that the committee was making excellent progreea and that a most encouraging report would be pre sented. their usual territory. Until there Is a material change In the war situation or the selge la raised at the principal ports exports wfu continue to benight, not only from the Columbia, but also from other coast ports. The Nlcotne diuls cargo will Include 500 tons of flour, a quantity of lumber and vari ous other merchandise. Miss Nellie Thompson was arrested Tuesday night for asking a man to buy her a drink.. The story goes that the request was made of a well known Astorlan who happened to be In the company of a prominent man at the time, and who complained to the po lice. The arrest of the woman followed, but she did not appear for trial, .in stead forfeiting 110 ball There has been no Improvemnt in the run of salmon during the past few days, and all classes of fishing gear are making light hauls. The fish are small of size, and the cold-storage output Is consequently light Fisher men anticipate very poor runs until July, and figure that the season may prove a very unsatisfactory one on ac count of the high stage of the river I Two of Sanborn's fishermen had a narrow escape from, drowning at the mouth of the river at an early hour yesterday morning. The men were Peter Odell and Otto Saart and they were fishing close to the bar. Their boat drifted Into the breakers while the net was oelng picked up and the craft was soon overturned by the surf. The lookout at the Cape Disap pointment noticed the predicament of the hapless fellows and hastened to Jhe rescue, arriving in time to save the men and their boat and net. The men were clinging to the bottom of the boat when the life crew reached them. On May 4 e man named Otto Smith waa arrested by the polllce on J harre of vagrancy. He waa brought before Judge Anderson and the evl dence adduced at the trial was sufflc lent to convince the court that he, (rhe vagrant) was entitled to the iimii A fine of $100 was Imposed, but it was agreed that sentence would be sus pended if the man left the city. He promised to do so, but Tuesday reap peared. Thereupon the police picked him up again and he is now In the city Jail to serve out the 60-day sen tence that failure to pay a 1100 fine carries. While Captain Graham has not yet made any definite announcement, It Is probable that Charles Halderman will pitch Sunday's ball game. Dick Hal derman will be over from Warrenton to catch his brother If the local end of t"ti family Is put in the box. Ross will throw the Memorial day game and Morf"W will catch him. It is not unlikely that Morton will find It Im possible to catch Sunday. The team will be In better shape for the two games with the Vancouver soldiers ithan at any previous time during the present season and the exhibition will unquestionably be a god one on both da vs. There Is a very general sentiment that the Smith Point road should be Improved to connect with the new hewls and Clark bridge. Some of the gentlemm Interested In the matter ex press the conviction that it would not be fair to ask the property owners to bear the entire cost of the Improve ment, because much of the land In the Improvement district Is not occupied. In view of the vast sum of money that the people of the city have contributed for Improvements In the country, it is felt the people living In the valley of the Lewis and Clark should take the initiative In the matter and ask runds for improvement of the highway from the west end of Taylor avenue to the county bridge across Youngs bay. It la quite likely that the gereal desire for the road will result in some action n the purt of the council. F. R. Stokes returned yesterday from a business trip of a few days at Buc oda. He reports the lumber business much Improved since his former visit. Business has a tendency toward a brighter existence and orders are com ing In rapidly, so the lumber men at Bucoda and Centralla report. Mr. .Stokes was an eye witness to the big Kelso fire, which destroyed the entire plant of the Metcalf Shingle Company together with a stock of 5,000,000 shingles and the warehouse of the Kel logg Transportation Company. The dryklln of the Metcalf company was the largest in the state and the loss to the company is estimated at $12,000 with an Insurance of probably one-half of this amount. According to Mr. Stokes large forest fires are raging west of Little Falls where there Is a comparatively large timber belt. The oriental liner Nloomedla will de part on Saturday for Ithe far east with one of the smallest cargoes ever sent away from the Columbia on a vessel bound from the Columbia for China and Japan. She will take less than 1600 tons of freight In July, 1901. the Indravelll took away 1200 tons. The cause of the present depression Is the war. Heretofore much of the freight sent away from the Columbia went through Vladivostok, Port Arthur and Dalny, but each of these porta Is now a storm center of hostilities, and the exporters are therefore shut out of The following review of the salmon situation from the Louisiana Grocer will doubtless appear quite silly to those Astorlans who know a fish when they see one: "The salmon season has been opened on the Columbia riv er, where the salmon are reported to be running heavily. Everything points to a big pack there. One authority is quoted to have said that In view of this year being a short one for hunch backs be would not be surprised, If the shortage would reach J.WO.MO cases." It wgylfl Interesting to knw th$ aame of the authority who has figured out this remarkable shortage of "hunchbacks" a variety of fish, doubtless known only to the man wild finds It possible to calculate a short age of 1,000,000 cases In a department of the Industry which made a record pack of 29,400 cases (In 1884.)
