The following Mist (Ore.) dispatch
to the Portland Journal contains some
statements that will doubtless prove
surprising to Nehalem valley resl-l
dents: "The forest fires have about
died out, yet it Is hard to estimate
the damage done throughout the Ne
halem valley. More timber has been
dstroyed this season than since the big
fires of 1883. The Deep creek fire,
which started In August, destroyed
much of the valuable cedar belt on
Deep creek. Tho timber losses in the
valley reach Into the millions "
For several months past there has
been more or less talk of an effort to
divide the city Into four wards. At
the present time there are three wards.
The First Is greater In population and
taxable property than the Second and
Third combined. The Third ward Is
by far the smallest In the city, and
casts fewer votes than precinct .Vo,
of the First. It Is felt by those who
advocate another ward that the section
of the city now Included In the First
ward Is Intltled to more than three
representatives In the council. At theu
meeting of the council Monday night.
while discussing street matters, Coun
cilman Hansen of the First ward In
timated that he would favor dividing
his ward. The exponents of the Idea
have ample argument to advance in
favor' of their plan, and it Is Just pos
sible some such action may be taken
ere long. .
The Increase In freight offerings for
oriental shipment will mean an extra
steamer out of the Columbia this
month. It Is not certain yet what
steamer will be secured, but -It will
probably be the Chlng Wo, of the
China Commercial line. More business
is coming to the Vortland & Asiatic
Company than It can handle by Its reg
ular steamer this month. An effort
was made to get the Algoa for the
trip, but It Is now more than prob
able that the China Commercial liner
will be put on. The Aragonla, which
is scheduled to sail from here October
28, already has ail her space reserv
ed and several thousand tons more
are already on hand that must be
taken care of. The China Commercial
Company operated a line of steamers
out from this port a year ago, but
the decrease In business caused them
to withdraw from the route.
For years Strauss Bros, have been
making clothes for Astoria's best
dressers. A special representative is
In charge of a great display of new
fall woolens at Cooper's store. It will
pay you to call and have a talk with
Strauss Bros.' man. He'll grve you
some pointers on the proper attire for
this fall.
Work on the new ship yards for the
Columbia River Packing Asoclatlon Is
progressing rapidly. The yards, when
completed, will accommodate eight
boats at a time. The launch El Hurd
Is now on the ways undergoing exten
sive repairs. The boat Is being re
built fore and aft, and will be equip
ped with a new shoe and overhauled
generally. In the new yards the boats
will be pulled up on to the ways, In
place of being lifed by Jacks. This
considered a decided Improvement.
The San Francisco Journal says of
the salmon market: "The market is
reported quiet for new bulsness, for
canners and agents are busy making
deliveries on booked orders. The re
ceipts of Alaska fall short about 250,
000 cases compared with the like time
In 1903, but more vessels are due,
yet the reeclpts when all "are in will
fall considerably below that of last
year. New season pack of Alaska's
red guaranteed "qual to the very best
was offered In a 400 case lot at $1.05
regular f. o. b.'on the sound, without
finding a buyer. It looks as If the trade
are still operating extensively. Eng
lish cables report larger withdrawals
from warehouse than during the cor
responding time in 1903. It is said that
for well known favorite brands 21s is
paid there, but a less figure Is named
for unknown brands. Pinks, chums
and medium red are comparatively
scarce and strongly held. One party
Is placing pinks to preferred buyers
at 70 cents. Packing of conoes up
north is slow on the sound and only
fair on Frater river. Packing of fall
fish In Oregon is still under way."

3. Bruce Polworth stoutly denies
that he has changed his politics. Mr,
Polworth was down yesterday from
Cathlamet and in conversation with
a representative of the Astorlan made
known his position. "So far as my
politics Is concerned, I am Just as
much a democrat as I ever was," said
Mr. Polworth. "For the past six years
the democratic party of Wahkiakum
county has been knifed by traitors,
with the result that the respectable
element has become thoroughly dls
gusted. There were two possible
courses to pursue. We could have
made a fight for the convention,
which would have been ta rec
nirnl&e the treacherous element, or
we could allow them to dom
Inate affairs and met with defeat
We choose the latter course. At the
democratic convention but one pre
clnct Cathlamet was represented,
and but seven delegates attended.
Honest democrats stayed away from
that sratherinir. I am assured Mr.
I Marshal, the nominee of this conven
' .... ...Ill .nnt
lion lor reprcsemttiivc, w nw en-v-i,
and lam Quite as well satisfied that
the whole ticket will go down to de
feat. After the election this element
of the democratic party will be oblit
erated entirely from the political Held
of Wahkiakum county. I have accepted
the republican nomination for county
attorney only for the purpdse of as
sisting In bringing about the defeat
of the Gorman element of the party.
I believe that I will be elected." Mr.
Polwarth's nomination by the republi
cans caused some concern among lo
cal democrats, wno were led to believe
he had deserted his party. However,
Mr. Polworth says the emoluments of
the office-for which he Is runlng $400
a yer are scarcely of enough Import
ance to justify any such political flop
on his part.
