Ths old-tlrn barktntln John Smllb cleared yesterday for Los Angeles with 640,000 feet of lumber and 130,000 lath, Mr i, McKean will hold & cloilnr-out ale of White Wash Suits at rreatly reduced prices all thla week, at Worn au'a Kichange, on Tenth street.

Having out-grown their old quarter! on Commercial street, Sherman & Thing i have moved Into more apactoua one in the Flavet brock, corner of Tenth and Bond streets. ' Frank Warren, sr., was down yes terday from Portland. Mr. Warren re- porta that the water Is clearing at the cascades, but he shares the belief of some of the local packers that clear water can not be reasonably expected at the mouth of the Columbia for some days to come. Owners oX buildings who have not compiled with the terms of the new fire-escape ordinance are to be ar rested If they fall to observe the pro visions of the law. Chairman Hansen of the publlo property committee is having notices prepared and these will be served on the delinquent property owners. There waa a alight Improvement in the recelots of Salmon yesterday at some of the "paKlng-housesTanil"tHe fishermen seemed to think the run of fish, would be good from this time on. Catches of as much as 1500 pounds were reported yesterday. The water Is becoming clearer every day and by the end of the present week the supply of fish should be great enough to tax the capacity of the canneries. Several of the cannerymen expressed disappointment because of the failure of the hatchery run of salmon to put In an appearance yesterday. The can nerymen and fish experts generally have followed closely the appearance of salmon at Monterey, Cal., and In the past the prediction as to the date of the arrival of the runs here has proved quite correct. Just 30 days ago the aalmon appeared at Monterey and It was reasoned they would reach the Columbia yesterday. However, a day or two one way or the other does not upset calculations to any material ex tent, and packers are dally expecting the arrival of the large schools of hatchery fish. The hauls yesterday at 8and island were fair, but up-river seiners and glllnetters fared poorly. All of the seiners are now operating. The funeral of the lata Jacob Baker will take place at 1 o'clock this after noon from the family residence, at 16 Astor street. The services will be conducted by Rev, McCormac and the Interment will be in Greenwood ceme tery. . r , - -.," For the purpose of determining what shall be done toward extending the Kehalem road farther south and to ex amine the nature of the work recently done on the road. County Commls sloners Clark and Larson, Road Mas ter Frye and County Clerk Clinton will leave this morning for the Kehalem valley, The matter is to be taken up at the next term of court. Between the hours of 12 and 1 today the people living east of Thirty-first street will ba without water, The water commission must remove the water main on Franklin avenue to an other location, and white the main is being moved a connection will be built so that the water supply may ba con tinued. This connection necessitates today's turning off of the water. As tjaere will be less water used between noon and 1 o'clock, the work will be done at that time. M. J. Young, justice of the peace at Seaside, recently tendered his reslg- nation to the county court, yesterday Edward C. Judd waa appointed to fill the vacancy. At the adjourned session of the coun ty court yesterday the contract for the construction of the new court house was entered into with Mantle ft Dou- gan of Spokane. The contractors gave a bond of $50,000 for the faithful per formance of the contract The court also approved the bond of County Clerk Clinton, In the sum of $10,000. The bond is given by a guaranty company, Sheriff Llnvllle yesterday made an Investigation of the swimming pool lo cation at the foot of Tenth street and found that the space there was not large enough for the purpose required.

He has not yet been able to select a place suitable for the pool, but will make an investigation of east end streets and see if a proper place can not be secured. If the pool is lo cated on private property it will much better answer the purpose. title to W. S. Kinney was therefore good. The prospects are that Mrs. Kinney will b able to recover from the city for tbe land. .The ladles of the public library are very much pleased with the Increased attendance at the reading room. On Sunday afternoon 70 persons were at the library at on time. The library will be comfortably located in the new city hall and the rooms will be ar ranged with convenience. John Kearney, sr., is dangerously 111 at his home with pneumonia, and fears are entertained that be may not re cover. Tbe attack came on last Frl day night and since that time the suf ferer has been very IIL Mr, Kearney Is 7( years of age and not capable of withstanding the ravages of the ail ment Reports from the bedside last evening gave little hope of the pioneer's recovery. The cottage at the southeast corner of Franklin avenue and Sixteenth stret collapsed Tuesday night, star tllng the occupants, who believed an earthquake had occurred. The under pinning on which the cottage stood was not substantial, and when the banking which holds tbe sidewalk gave away the foundation caught the spirit of the times and also collapsed. The fall of the house ruined it, for It Is broken In two. The cottage was occupied by K, Thompson. There seems to be some question as to which of tbe local baseball teams will have use of A. F. C. park on Sun day afternoon. At the commencement of the season tbe Commercial Club ar ranged for the ground up to Septem ber 1, and under this arrangement Manager Abercromble says the Com merclal-Ralnler game will be pulled off Sunday afternoon. The manager of the Prides of Astoria holds a receipt for ground rent for Sunday afternoon. Both sides therefore have strong cases, and a settlement must be effected be fore Sunday. In most other cities the thermometer reaches its highest mark about 2 p. m. but In Astoria the top notch Is usually reached at 4 p. m. On Tuesday the fuss registered 79 at 4 o'clock, and yesterday it registered 81 at that hour. On both days the highest mark was reached at 4. The heat yesterday was made somewhat the less oppressive by cool ocean breeze, but the weather was rather too warm lor Astorians. Sunshine Masters, the weather observ er, says he has some still hotter weather up his sleeve for Astorians, and that he will shortly display it The work of Installing new boilers In the steamer W. H. Harrison has been finished, and within a week's time the vessel will be ready for serv ice. She is to be operated between Astoria and various coast points where Samuel Elmore has canneries. It Is reported that Mr. Elmore has bought the Cook cannery at the Slletx from J. W. ft V. Cook. If this report is correct, Mr. Elmore now has six Ore gon coast canneries at Tillamook, Ne halem, Sluslaw, Umpqua, Alsea and Slletx. The Harrison will run to all of those points. ??xt Tuesday the great council of Oregon. Improved Order of Red Men, will convene in annual session at Sea side, There will be about 70 delegates in attendance. The delegates from the Astoria tribe will be: C. E. Foster, Andrew Birch, W. A. Patterson, Olof Anderson, Thomas B. Loughery and Charles Duhlstrom. Some Important business is to be transacted. At the lost session a resolution to set aside a certain percentage of the per capita tax for the relief of such tribes as may call on the great council for as sistance was presented and referred to the gr?t sachem and the great council for report. The report will be pre sented at the Seaside convention and final action taken on the matter. The Idea is to provide an emergency fund for such disasters as the Heppner flood. The local delegates to the coun cil have been left unlnstructed by tbe Astoria tribe, and as yet they have not determined whether or not they will support the proposal. This mat ter will be the most Important to be called up for action, C. A. Bell, a well-known young at torney of Portland, passed through the city yesterday en route to the beach. Mr. Bell has just returned from a trip to lf?xico City, and In six weeks trav eled 8000 miles. He was not at all favorably Impressed with the Mexican capital, although he believes the city affords great opportunities for enter prising men. "There Is plenty of money to be made in Mexico," said Mr. Bell, "but I would not live there for any thing. White away I stopped at all of the principal coast cities and went east as far as St. Louis. In my travels I failed to find a city as attractive as our Oregon cities. There's no other place on earth like Oregon, and I wouldn't give up my residence here fof a mansion elsewhere. While away met many men who. have traveled ex tensively over the country, and it is somewhat remarkable that all of them agreed there were more pretty girls in Oregon than In any other part of the nation, Oregon enjoys an enviable reputation In this respect, the fame of her women being national."

HEILBORN SON J Astoria's Leading House-furnishers J A letter was received at the Colum bla River Packers Association offices yesterday from Nushagak, Alaska, Ac cording to the letter, the run of fish has been fairly good, the Packers' can nery having put up between 1300 and 1400 cases of king salmon. The Portland-Alaska ship arrived in time to put up a small pack of king fish. She was caught in the ice in Bering sea, which s reported to be still full of ice. When the letter was written the men were just changing to. the small-mesh gear to take red salmon. The pack prom ises to be almost equal to that of last season. It appears, after all, that there are really two sides to the controversy af fecting the ownership of the strip of land lying between the Shlvely and Mc Clure donation land claims. The con tention of Mrs. W. S. Kinney is that the strip was never claimed by either Mr. McClure or Mr. Shively. Because of the fact that neither claimed title to the land, it belonged to the federal government When congress passed the act granting to states all the public domain lying between the harbor line and high water mark, this strip went with ' the balance of the land trans ferred, and it is claimed the state had the right to convey title to the strip In dispute to W. S. Kinney. Had the strip been included In either the Mc Clure or Shively land claim, the state could not have acquired title to It;; but, as neither claimed it, it went to the state in regular form and the state's PERSONAL MENTION. frank Woodfleld returned last night from Portland.
