Court Astoria, Foresters of America, will be paid an official visit tonight by Grand Chief' lUnger Klepper, of La Grand, Ore., Grand Treasurer Bour geois, of Portland, and other grand court officers. The visiting offlcers will be tendered an Astoria receptton, which Is another way of saying that the gathering will prove one of excep tional Interest. Astoria court is the banner court of the state, having nhown the greatest percentage of gain tn membership at the Inst state meet ing. The membership numbers more than 300. The lodge Is now making preparations for the celebration of Foresters' day, August 15. The celebra tion will be held on the night of the Uth, which falls on the regular meet ing night. An Interesting musical and literary program will be rendered and friends of members will bs Invited to take part In the celebration. Another monster log raft was brought down the- river from Stella yesterday afternoon. Two river steam ers brought down the great boom which was taken on to the lower har bor; There the steamer Francis H. Leggett will take the raft In tow and start south with It for Ban Francisco at the earliest possible date. It Is quite probable the start may be made today. ' The raft Is Just about the site of the last boom which was sent away and contains approximately (,000,000 feet of lumber. It is the property of the Hammond Lumber Company. The Leggett has on board a cargo of 1, 250,000 feet of redwood, loaded at Eureka for San Francisco. At the regular monthly session of the county court, which wilt be con vened this morning, the matter of the Improvement of the Nehalem road will probably be taken up and acted upon, The aettlers In that part of the county have levied special taxes In several districts and placed the grade in good condition. They are very anxious to have the road planked and the court has been requested to remove the saw mill to a location on the road. The settlers will furnish the necessary logs. Members or the court are quite as anxious as the settlers that the high way be Improved, and It Is not Im probable that the request will be granted. Mrs. F. D. Keuttntr ,14 still In the lead In the regatta queen contest, Mrs, Rldvhalgh holding second place, Miss Tallant third place and Mrs. C. L. Houston fourth place.

The balloting will close on Friday night. Some deep scheming Is said to be on foot by friends of the various candidates, and surprtsea are looked for Friday night. It la said that four of the candidates are to be liberally supported and the balloting will probably be spirited.

The blaze broke out at 1:30 and all efforts to extin guish it proved futile, the building be ing burned to the ground. As to the manner in which the fire originated, the men at the post are in the dark. It was stated last night by one of the men that there was no suspicion of Incendiarism, and the blase probably resulted from combustion. The ware house was 90 feet In length and 40 feet wide, end was full of tools and sup plies for the guns. It was Impossible last night to secure an estimate of the damage, but it is thought the loss will be very heavy. . - . A Seaside dispatch says: "Cut off by the tide after wading some dis tance through water up to their waists, Dr. A. A. Morrison and Captain Wil liam Oadsby were forced to spend Friday night on a rocky point barely out of reach of high tide. Here they spent a dreary night, having built e fire with what driftwood they could find. Their only food consisted of four small sandwiches, which Captain Oadsby happened to have. The two men walked about 12 miles down the coast in search of sea lions. About two miles past False Tillamook they climbed a sandy mountain, only to t; confronted at the summit by an insur mountable stone wall 50 feet high. Though they slid down the mountain on their backs to gain time, the tide was rapidly cutting them off when they got to the bottom. Their absence caused considerable anxiety." The police have been unable to get any clew that might lead to the arrest of the robber who held up L. Larson early yesterday morning. The Incident greatly disturbed the peace of mind of the saloon man and his description of the highwayman was not accurate enough to give the officers a tine on the robber. The presence of the white mask prevented the victim from no ticing anything about the fellow by which he might be recognised. There are several auspicious characters In the city, and It Is Just possible the right man may be Jailed. Since gambling was closed In Portland there has been an Influx of undesirable Individuals. and the Bugby quarry is said to have furnished its full quota of bad men. Chief Hallock says the robbery ought to be a lesson to those persona who carry home large sums of money at night, He expresses surprise that more holdups have not occurred. Many of the saloon men. upon closing for the night, start home with the day's re ceipts, and those who live away from the principal streets would prove easy marks for highwaymen.

HEILBOHN SON Because her assailant Is sickly and not capable of withstanding the rigors of jiill life, Miss Murray, the vaude ville performer, yesterday paid the fine which Justice Goodman Imposed upon Ben S. Trask for beating the complain ing witness. The warrant for Trask's arrest was issued Monday afternoon Trask knew what was coming and de termined to leave the city. He went to the depot, but there saw Constable Utzlnger and a policeman, and, sus pecting that they were looking for him, he executed a flank movement Yes terday morning he tried It again, but was arrested. He was locked up in the county Jail for four hours, and at in the afternoon was taken before Justice Goodman for arraignment Miss Murray, who was Trask's stage part- (ner, appeared and asked permission to withdraw the charge. Trask is not at all healthy, being a sufferer from pul monary trouble, while Miss Murray Is of formidable appearance, and it was somewhat surprising to the officials that she should have permitted him to beat her. The woman explained that she did not want to be responsible for the incarceration of Trask, whose health might be further injured there by, but the court declined to dismiss the case. Trask was fined 310, which Miss Murray paid, and the costs were likewise taxed against her. Doubtless the' couple will continue to work In double harness on the vaudeville stage. New Law ts Take Effect Two Years Hence Would Cut Columbia River, Out of Exporting Business. Portland Journal; W. L. Marvin, secretary of he marine commission and regarded as an authority on mar itime law, is of the opinion that the importance of the American shipping problem to the city of Portland can not be overestimated and that there ts danger of Us being passed too lightly by her people. He said: "The city of Portland Is the only one on this coast at which we find no American line of ships trading with foreign ports. This fact in addition to others, makes the bearings of this commission more vital to Portland than they are to any other city. The ports of Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco having American lines, they are bound to outstrip Portland in every form of growth resulting from foreign com merce. While it is true that Seattle has a large shlpbulldng plant this In dustry only carries the special benefits ihat attend the employment of a num ber of worklngmen In that particular industry. The city that has ft good harbor and Is convenient for seagoing vessels, may become a great factor in foreign commerce If the conditions are favorable to American shipping. A law has been passed, to take effect two years hence, which provides that all commerce of every kind carried on between an American port and any country under the American flag shall be carried by American ships. "This measure alone," says Mr. Mar vin, "would cut Portland out of all the rich trade that is coming or already here bet wen the United States and her possessions In the orient and even In the Sandwich Islands. There is al ready In force and effect a law that provides that all troops of war, sup plies and munitions for our men in the Philippines shall be carried in Amer ican ships. Therefore, you may, easily see that It behooves Portland to do something at once In the way of a rad ical reform of her shipping conditions If she hopes to supply from this city and Its rich producing territory any part of the commerce of the United States and American ports abroad. You have Seattle on the north and San Francisco on the south, both eager to seise every contract and fill every requirement of American foreign trade, and both of these cities have American shipping lines operating with the Phil ippines, China and the Sandwich isl ands. "These cities will undoubtedly en deavor to increase their present Amer ican shipping lines to those ports, and It would not be long until Portland would be hopelessly distanced and out of the race. This city has a beautiful harbor, and In some respects has ad vantages over her rivals for this trade. She is well located In a rich producing district, and ships will always go up stream as far as they can with safety. She is backed by the fertile Willamette valley, with a vast productive power by which her granaries may be sup plied. Given American ships and thus placed on an even footing in the way of transportation facilities, she would with her distinct advantages in other respects be Invincible in the foreign trade."
