' ' Circuit Judge McBrlde and County Clerk Clinton left yesterday for the north fork of the Klaskanlne river. where Judge McBrlde will make a third Inspection of the stream. This stream Is Involved In the controversy between Jacob Kamm and Norman d Bros., the former seeking to restrain the latter from using the stream for logging purposes. When the case was tried some ot the evidence presented suggested new Ideas to the court, and for the purpose of more thoroughly familiarising himself with conditions existing In the disputed territory Judge McBrlde made yesterday's trip. The case has not yet been submitted to the court, as the attorneys for both of the parties to the action are to file briefs. The Callender Transportation Com pany Is going to lock horns with the be In Astoria, for a few .days In the Interests of the paper. Seldom has such a general Interest been manlfeated In any theatrical at traction as Is shown in the forthcom ing engagement of the James Keane Company, which opens a week's en gagement at Fishers' opera house next Monday evening, In the great drama, "Sherlock Holmes." The announce ment of the coming of Mr. Keane and his company was made but last Sun day and already there has been an un usual demand for seats. In these days when there are so many cheap and badly managed theatrical organisations placed before the public, the coming ot a really meritorious attraction like the Keane company Is heartily appre ciated. From present Indications, a crowded bouse will greet the popular young star and his company on their opening next Monday evening.

In the case of the peo pie of Knappton, It Is charged the combination haa the mall contract, which calls for only three trips weekly, and that the service Is limited to those three trips. The people there want a daily steamer, but the combination will not accede to this demand. Charles H. Callender states that he will Im mediately prepare one or his com pany's boata for thla run and will mix matters with the trust The people of Knappton, it Is believed, will back up the Independent steamer In Its ef fort to Improve the service.

The petition will be presented to the council next Monday night A mans meeting of Columbia river fishermen was held yesterday morning for the purpose of taking steps to pre vent non-resident fishermen from op erating on the Columbia during the season. The matter has heretofore been discussed at great length, not only a meetings of the fishermen, but as well through the papers. The laws of both Oregon and Washington make it impossible for any person other than a resident of the two states to secure fishing license, but the non-residents have succeeded In getting licenses. The resident fishermen are very much op posed to this encroachment, and at the meeting held yesterday vigorous pro test was registered. As the attendance was not as large as was desired, a com mittee was appointed to arrange for another mass meeting, to be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon. This second meeting wilt take place at the C. R. F. P. U. hall, and it Is hoped to take some action which will prevent the non-residents from fishing. Just what method the fishermen will adopt to gain their end has not yet developed, but It Is thought probable they will adopt a resolution calling upon the state authorities to enforce the Ashing law. The committee appointed to ar range for the meeting is made up of J. F, Welch, Charles Borgenholts and. Andrew Simonsen. "i Be Beheaded.

HEILBORN h SON Astoria's Leading House-furnishers Captain Bailey of the bar tug Tatoosh stated last evening that the ocean Is literally alive with chlnook salmon Because of the muddy condition of the river, the fish are not entering, but It the water ot the Columbia ever clears there will be a big run of fish. Cap tain Bailey says the fish are to be seen beyond the muddy water off the bar. For about IS miles the water Is not very clear, but beyond the salmon can be seen Jumping out of the sea. Fish caught during the past few days are found to have accumulated a sort of clay substance In their gills the mud with which the water of the river seems, full. The presence ot this mud mokes It Impossible for fish to live in the water for more than a few days, and for thla reason the salmon are re maining outside. The situation !. one of the utmost gravity, for it has ruined what would have been an early run of hatchery salmon. Reports received yesterday of cloudbursts In eastern Oregon Indicate that there is little Im mediate prospect of the river clearing, and the Indications are the run of fish will be still further delayed. The pres ence of the fish off the river has raised the old question of the feasibility of deep-sea fishing for salmon. Some of the fishermen aver that a trawl could be arranged which would make large catches comparatively simple, but as yet no one has attempted this method of fishing. I PERSONAL MENTION. W. W.

The German American steamship Aragonia arrived yesterday from far eastern ports, on her first trip to the Columbia river. The Aragonia is un der charter to the O. R. A N. Co. She brings almost a full cargo of freight, and at 6 o'clock lost evening left up the river for Portland. The Aragonia Is a conveniently built freighter and makes good time. Captain Sehuldt states that he could learn nothing of the progress of the war in the far east Like all the other steamship masters arriving from the far east, he says the Japanese will give out nothing as to the situation at the front or the probable outcome of Im pending battles, but that they regard strangers with the utmost suspicion and maintain a surly reticence. How ever, In Yokohama and Mojl the popu lace seems to be sanguine, and the greatest enthusiasm everywhere pre' vails. If there Is any doubt In Japan as to the outcome of the. mikado's fight with Russia, it la not apparent When the Aragonia departed from Yokohama, Captain Schutdt was not! fled by the government officials to an chor outside the harbor and make thorough search for stowaways. The search resulted In the discovery of six Japanese, who were found In the room of the steward. When the men were found the Aragonia signaled the patrol boat and the six men were sent ashore. The steward was also taken oft the vessel, as he was believed to have been trying to assist the men to es cape from Japan. The officers of the steamship were given to understand that the stowaways would be beheaded, without even the formality of trial. which Is the Japanese method of dis pensing Justice In the case of men who attempt to escape from their country in time ot war, or who leave it without permission. It was thought at the time that all of the stowaways were found off Yoko hama, but when the vessel entered the river yesterday three others were dis covered to be aboard. Immigration Inspector Larned was notified of the presence of the men on the ship and he took charge of them, and will cause their deportation back to Japan, where they will suffer the penalty prescribed in the Japanese law. The severe penalty which Is provided for Japanese who escape from the country explains the efforts of deported Japanese to -escape from outgoing steamships. About a dozen deported Japs have Jumped into the river during the past eight ot ten months, in sev eral instances the men having been handcuffed. Satisfied that death awaits them at home, they braved almost cer tain death in the waters of the Colum bia, and It Is now believed that every man who leaped into the river drowned. Several bodies have lately been found along the river, and of these four or five were Identified as those of Japanese. quet, while the following members of the hose team were present: Captain Fred Brown, Joseph Phillips, Otto Gramrna, Jake Wedel, John Corno, Jack Bay, M. D. Knutsen, Dan B. Allen, W. C. Curtis, O. B. Peterson, Joseph Jos ephs, F. Cronln, Charles Dubeau, Will Johnson and Owen Mulligan. The ban quet was held at the Palace. Unseasonsble Eating. An undoubted menace to health Is the continual munching of youngsters and grown-ups. The child spends his penny or nickel at the fruit stand or the confectioner's or baker's, where, more often than not, the wares are adulterated, open to dust from the street or suffy apartments. The mother takes the edge from her dinner appetite by mid-afternoon confections and Ices and teas. At the table whole some substantial are passed by for toothsome desserts because stomachs have been already overtaxed and taste is the only incentive to eating. The result is dyspepsia and its train of ills, or, if nothing so apparent ensues, nerve and brain force are weakened. The good old rule, "three meals a day and no between meals," of orthodox mothers who are now grandmothers, carried into effect today would m many a disordered household ; right and revolutionize the disposition of many a man, woman and child.

The banquet given to the members of the Astoria hose team last evening was an enjoyable event for the young men who won the state championship, and even more pleasant for M. D. Knutsen, who was presented with a handsome gold medal as a token of the esteem in which he is held by the other members of the team. The pres entation came as a great surprise to Mr. Knutsen, who had just been sub jected to a fake roast by Captain Brown for the failure to make connections in the dry test This race is regarded locally as the "hoodoo" event, for no Astoria team ever captured tt away from home. Thousands of dollars have been wagered on this contest by sup porters ot Astoria teams, but never once have they won. So when the ac cident happened at Portland, Mr. Knut sen was jokingly scored, and last even ing the matter was recalled. Just about the time the runner began to feel that he was being unjustly taken to task, Mayor Surprenant presented him with the medal.
