The run of fish has fallen oft and re ceipts were light yesterday at the various packing houses. The Co-operative cannery officials had been re ceiving large quantities of fish from the glllnetters and had engaged all the available men they could find around town. Yesterday there was not work enough to keep the force busy. The fish that were brought In came from lower harbor points, and nearly ail were taken by glllnet fishermen. Re ceipts kept the packing houses going for only a few hours. The falling oft tn the run waa a disappointment to packers and fishermen, who expected the run would continue. The outlook for a full pack Is not encouraging. The ateamer Leelanaw departed yea terday for San Francisco. 8he took 1160 tone of wheat, 600 tons of shorts, 210 tona of bran, 100 tona of flour and 100 tona of middling.

A large force of men Is engaged In the work of constructing the court blouse foundation, and rapid progress Is being made. The blanket work has been about finished and the men are now engaged In raising that portion of the foundation upon which the walls are to rest This portion of the work Is substantial, Iron reinforcement be Ing used, and It is evident from the manner of construction that there was never any serious reason to fear that the foundation might settle. Manager Ohler of the Commercial Club football team has arranged for three games thus far. The Commer cial team will meet the Multnomah eleven at Portlund, will play Cheniawa at Salem, and Chemawa will play In this city. It Is quite probable Multno mah will come to Aatorla for a game. The Oregon agricultural college has decreed against games with clubs, but the U. of O. has not taken any such Hiiiimiiiiim iinixiixiiziixxmmm That There Are Engines Ran well part of tbe time Ran poorly all of the time Won't worn" any time U)Q STANDARD GAS ENGINE KUNS WELL ALL THE TIME O.

The lineup of the team will not be announced for some time to come, main at the lower Jjarbor until the charterers feel that'' the trip can be made with safety. In view of the re ports from the far east, she I apt to be In port for some time to come. Secretary Halderman of the regatta committee yesterday conferred with Mayor Surprenant as to the streets that should be used for the street car nival which will be held during rs gntta week. The committee la anxious to have the shows as near Commercial street as possible, and at Monday night's meeting of the council will pe tition for permission to use the thor oughfures which are to be selected. Mayor Surprenant said yesterday It would not be possible to allow the committee tbe use of Eleventh street, but Tenth and Twelfth will be given the committee, and portions of Ex change. The committee has not yet closed arrangements for the carnival, but will do so during the coming week. Securely guarded on board the ori ental liner Aragonla are three Jans, who are being: returned to their na tlve land at the Instigation of the im migration omaais. Tne men were stowaways on the liner when she ar rived, and upon their return to Japan they will meet the fute which befell their comrades, who were found just before the .vessel started across the ocean. The stowaways captured at that time were taken ashore to be be headed, the penalty, so the steamer's officers were Informed, for an effort to steal out of the country. The three men now aboard the Aragonla were not found until after the vessel ar rived at Astoria. Three Chinese are on the liner's passenger list, but they are going home to rejoin their friends, and not to be placed upon tbe execu tioner's block. The Dorcas Society met last evening at the home of Miss Alema Nylund. A large number of young people were present and enjoyed themselves In the usual pleasant manner. A feature of the aesslon waa the needlework con test The merrymakers were furnished with the necessary material and in structed to sew to their hearts' con tent. Each selected the particular ob ject which he thought himself most proficient ai matting and some rare articles thus came Into existence. Mrs. Rydqulst took the tody's first prize, while the second prize went to Miss Betsy Enberg. Charles O. Palmberg captured the gentleman's first prize in common canter, and the second prize went to Allen Y. Anderson. Rev. Rydqulst, who organized the society three years ago, was present and ad dressed the membera. After the ad- resa a few Instrumental selections were rendered by Miss Nylund and re freshments were served. Do You Know That the 4 F. C. Barnes haa returned to Port land from South Bend, Wash., where he was making preparations to start up his cannery for the fall run, and adding some Improvements to the ptant, and enlarging Its capacity. He expects that the run of salmon will be short, as It has been during1 the en tire season, and believes that prices Hi rule higher on account of the scarcity. Mr. Barnes said: "I will probably put up 20,000 cases. There Is demand from Japan for white meated suit salmon, but they do not want to pay over 2 ft cents a pound. It will not pay to supply the fish at that price. have given a Japanese firm prices on 200,000 bound shipment, but doubt being accepted at the quoted rate.' Mr. Barnes also owns a cannery in southeastern Alaska. He says salmon are scarce there this season as in other aces. He shipped 80,000 cases from Alaska to Japan last year, but they I usually prefer the dog salmon, which are partially dressed and salted In the ship. He did not know whether or not It was rehandled at San Francisco be fore It was sent to Jupari. "What we need Is good roads," said County Commissioner Larson last evening, talking Informally at the meeting of the development league delegations. "Every third house in the Nehalem valley Is deserted, because the people could not get their produce to town. It used to be the same on the Lewis and Clark, but since we ex tended the roads to the valley of that stream the country has been settled and the people are all well-to-do. The Nehalem country is the finest of its kind In the world, and If we can only extend the Nehalem road the farmers will settle there." Mr. Larson sug gests the Idea of a good roads meet ing of Nehalem valley farmers, and be lieves representative men from As toria ought to make a trip to that sec tion some tlme.during the year. 3. T. Ross states that most of the potatoes bought by tbe merchants of Astoria are sent to the city from Washington towns along the river. He says the price seldom falls below 70 or 75 cents a sack, and. In view of Mr. Larson's statement that a farmer can market potatoes for 4jj cents a sack, the Indus try should be successfully carried on here. The secret of the failure of farming lies in the lack of good roads, and It will hereafter be the aim of the business men to secure highways lead ing to the sections back of Astoria.

HEILB0RN SON : Astoria's Leading House-furnishers J 6 The oriental liner Aragonla arrived down the river yesterday and proceed ed 10 ton elevens, where she was anchored. The Aragonla has a cargo valued at considerably more than a quarter of a million dollars, and her charterers are not at all anxious to send her to sea Just at present, while the Vladivostok squadron Is raiding the sea near the coast of Japan. It waa stated upon reliable authority last evening that the Aragonla would be held here Indefinitely, awaiting more favorable advices from the far east wltfi reference to the operations of the Russian fleet. The Arabia, sister ship to the Aragonla, is now In the hands of a prize crew, and the O. R. & N. Co. will probably not take any more chances with the daring Rus sians. The Aragonla's cargo is valued at $294,489.13, which would be quite1 a nifty capture for the squadron. Shei takes away 60,800 barrels of flour, worth 1203,200. The vessel will re- The worm Is full of machine-made people. An educational system which will take into account differences of temperament or of natural gifts, all craving expression and development, does not appear to have been devised. Schools and commercial colleges are turning out students who are mere automatons, and when they go out Into business life they quite expect to be treated as machines, operated by cranks. They are not to be considered as "women who think," and in conse quence their development Is slow and their natural faculties dwarfed. Employers may well learn that the development of Individual thought and responsibility in their assistants by imposing trust and confidence will bring rich returns In intelligent devo tion to duty and at the same time make the atmosphere of the work room or office radiant with the sunshine of happy endeavor and consistent ser vice.
