Lower river receipts wert fairly good, but few fish are being taken above the city. The expected hatchery run has not yet materialized, but packers are dally looking for it It is probable the Ilwaco baseball team will play the Commercial Club nine in this city next Sunday. The Ilwaco team played here last Sunday, but the team, it Is understood, was not made up of the best players at the 'Washington town. The arrangement 1ms not yet been made, but the Ilwaco enannger has asked for the game. 'I The great council of Red Men of Oregon will convene in annual session this morning at Seaside. The dele gates from the Astoria lodge will go down on the early train. Among them Is Police Judge Anderson, during whose absence Mayor Surprerant will officiate as police Judge. The great council will be in session for three days. At a meeting of the loggers held In Portland on Saturday the following self-explanatory resolution waa adopt ed; "Resolved, That It Is the sense of this meeting that there should be or ganized on the Columbia river a log gers' association, to discuss more in telligently all questions pertaining to the logging Industry! that a commit tee of four be appointed to draft art! cles and by-laws for such an associa tlon, and to extend an invitation to all loggers tributary to the Columbia river to become members, the said committee also being empowered to issue a formal call at an early date for a meeting to perfect the organization." The Minneapolis dispatch received Saturday night stating that an Astoria minister had been biten by a mad dog referred to Rev. 0. E. Haahelm, pastor of the Tetania Norwegian Lutheran church. Rev. , Haahelm is visiting Minneapolis and a telegram received from that city yesterday conveyed the Information that ha had been bitten by the animal. The injury Is not a serl ous one, as was at first expected, and the pastor will shortly recover. This week's bill at Hedrlck's is draw Ing the crowds. The show is the best 10-cent performance ever seen In this city, and patrons of the popular play house are greatly pleased. Perhaps the Juggling Tbornes are the best of the performers, but the entire combination Is so good that comparison would not be fair. Trask k Murray, Jennie Bunt ley, the two Bennlngtons and Harry DeLaln make up the bill, and Manager Hedrlck finds it difficult to care for the crowds which pack the house. The present program wilt be rendered until Thursday, when there will be a com plete change of program. Two Portland young men who are said to be connected with well known families assaulted the doorkeeper of the Seaside pavilion Saturday evening, dance was In progress and the two lads undertook to gain admission with out buying tickets. : They were ejected from the building, and a short time later, when the doorkeeper stepped out side, he was hit with a stone, knocked down and quite badly beaten. The hoodlums escaped. Scarcely a season goes by that acts of vandalism of the kind do not occur, and the authorities at Seaside seem unable to make any arrests. The thugs who committed this latest act of vandalism were not captured. News waa received yesterday of the death at Cathlemet of Edith, the 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Daniels, under strange clrcum stances. Last Friday the child swal lowed an uncooked brown bean, which lodged in her windpipe. Later, how ever, the bean gave the girl no trouble, and It waa supposed it bad passed to N N M M H H H N N N M N f " 1 There Are Engines Run well part of the time Run poorly all of the time Won't worK anytime, STANDARD GAS ENGINE RUNS WELL ALL THE TIME 0.

While it is to regretted that the hatchery fish do not reach the river earlier, still to take flsh after August 15 would merely have the effect of reducing the general high quality of Columbia river salmon. 0 must protect the reputation or our product, and if we pack flsh after Au gust 15 this can not be done. Every- knows that salmon taken after August 15 are not so good as those taken before that date. If the packers (desire to put up an inferior quality of salmon, it will be all right to pack fish after the date now fixed for the closing of the season; but the canners with whom I have talked believe the reputation of their product should be kept up. I shall oppose any such ex tension, believing it to be against the best interests of the great industry of which Astoria is the center." - . 4 ' Is the Best in the World?

Beginning this week at the mouth of the Willamette, the United States engineers will make soundings of the Columbia river as far down as Astoria. For the most part their operations will be confined to the sandbars. There are IS such bars along the river, and It will require some time to complete the work. The object of taking the soundings Is for the purpose ot learn ing the exact points at which it will be necessary to make improvements to the channel. It is planned to have the dredge W. S.
