Tht bar dredge Chinook left up the

preaaed at tht rather unusual trip of
tht big veaael, Bhe haa gone to Brook

For tome daye past the water In the
lower harbor has been brackish, on
uccount of the atorm. Fresh water is
needed for steaming purposes and the
dredge went up the river a short dis
tance to fill her tanks. The operation
will require '24 hours' time, aa It will
be necessary to pump out the salt water
taken In at the lower harbor. The
Chinook will probably arrive down this
afternoon.

Tht periodical public statements of
the two local national banks appear In
thla lasue ot Tht Astorlan. Tht show
ing la an Interesting one. Tht total
deposit In tht two bunk art 11,180,
764.02,, of which aum 3500.700.25 la on
deposit at tht Aatorla National bank
and 3480,047.77 at tht First National.
The two bank' loan and discount state
ments show a total of 3030,837 19, al
most equally divided. The amount of
money carried In the vaults of tht As
toria National la 357,731.95, while at
the First National there is 3120,290, a
total of 3178.021.95. The surprising
showing Is the small amount of paper
money on hand, the total for the two

Another atorm, a continuation of the
previous gales, came up yeaterday.
Rain fell In torrent and the day waa
moat disagreeable, Interfering with the
usual busy trade of Saturday. Few
people came to town from the country.
The maximum velocity of the wind at
the Heads yesterday was 87 miles. A
gale of this velocity In the east would
havt removed the location of towns,
but here little damage waa done, ex
cept to signboards and windows. All
day long the bar was very rough and
shipping was paralysed. There were
no movements In or out of the harbor,
and but for two arrivals down the river
the day would have been a blank. Last
night telegraph and telephone wires
were laid low and communication with
Portland was Impossible after 11
o'clock. The Indications are that the
storm wilt continue for 24 hours or
more.
Thanksgiving boxes to the ladles and
children at today' matinee at the

The Commercial Club football team
yesterday perfected arrangement for
a Thanksgiving day football game In
thla city. After aeveral teams had de
faulted, because ot unavoidable acci
dents, a Multnomah eleven waa got to
gether to moke the Astoria trip. The
team will be known as the second Mult
nomah eleven, but In fact It will be
made up of aeveral first team men and
a number of the more promising of the
second team player.." Multnomah haa
been made aware' of Commercial'
strength, ao will aend tht strongest
team available. In negotiating for the
game yesterday the Portlandera ex
pressed a determination to defeat Com
mercial If possible, and Thursday will
see ont of tht hardest fought games
ever played here. . Some Idea of the
strength of the Multnomah second team
can bt gained from tht statement that
It defeated Puget Sound university 22-
0. The second team ha frequently
played 'the first team to a standstill,
and the showing made by the squad
haa resulted In much discussion aa to
which la really the first eleven. That
the game will be an exciting one goes
without saying.
