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

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. Seat

time some complaint has been regis
tered by the people ot the small towns
near Astoria. 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 en

the field of warfare will complicate
matters In a decided manner, and per

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

HOSE TEAM BANQUETED.
M. D. Knutsen Presented With Hand
some Gold Medal.
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. Councilman Leln-
enweber, chairman of the council com
mittee on fire and water, and Gus
Schoenbechler also attended the ban-
