Thankaglvlng waa generally obaerved In Astoria. Nearly all the large atorea were cloaed all day, and barber ahop were ahut up at noon. In aome of the ihurche there wer special aervlcea. The morning dawned brightly, but the rain toon again fell In torrent and the day proved a decidedly wet one. Com mercial waa really fortunate In Ita failure to aerure a game yealerday, for the wet weather would have prevented the crowd from turning out to e a football match. Much aurprlae waa expressed In thla city that six veaaela ahould have paaaed the waterlogged Webfoot without hav ing alghted her. One of the north bound ateatner. presumably the It" dondo, which reached Aatorla Tueeday evening, waa within a mile of the de relict. The paaalng maatera probably did not ae the derelict, although the aurvlvora any they were near enough to be plainly aeen. When the Grace Dollar waa wrecked off th mouth of Captain Cchrader of the steamer Hue K. Klmore report that the recent torm have clostd up the south chun net at the entrance to Tillamook bay. Th Klmore wa bnrbound there for more than month. When the weather Anally cleared up the ateumer Blurted for sea, taking the outh channel which had been used for a long time. Hut Captain flchrader found only eight feet of water there. He then tried the north channel and discovered thut It had opened up again. Hut for the delay occasioned In thla manner the Klmore would have picked up the Web foot. When ah got to aea the Klder wa algmitlng to the disabled veaael. The old achociner Webfoot him been running In the count wine trade for 3 year or more. Hhe wu built nt t'oo bay In 169 and wna launched u burkentlne. Thl rig wa rnulntulned for a number of years, and then altered to that of a brlgiinllne. Later on the rig was again changed to that of i three-masted schooner. The vessel had almost outlived her usefulness and old age wa her undoing. Hlie hue paid for herself many time over. It la probable she has made her lust trip, although It has not yet been announced whether or not ahe will be repaired. The O. R. A N. Co. will have a salvage claim ugulnat her, the Wullulu having picked her up and the Klder rendered her assistance. Itoth vessel belong f. th O. R. A N. Co. and are entitled to compensation. A the vessel wua worth but little, th claim can not well be a large one. According to MuJ. W. C. Langfltt the Columbia river bar hat a depth of 14 feet at th low water state, three feet higher than It wa at the time govern ment sounding were taken In June. The jetty and the dredge Chinook are given credit for securing the increased depth, The engineer have been inuk Ing a survey of the bar at odd inter val for th past two months. A yet th work ha not been completed, and an official report of the matter will probably not be made until the end of another week, nut the major de dare that he has enough material at hand to convince him that the Jetty and dredge have brought about some very desirable results. The extension of the Jetty, however, I looked upon a being the great solution to the bar problem.

When the jetty 1 extended to the point desired th engineer believe thut the bar will not give any further trouble. A larg number of delegate to the National Orange, which ha been In session at Portland, arrived down on yesterday" train and went over to Heaalde to spend Thanksgiving, The day waa nut an agreeable one, but the surf rolled high and the visitor en- Joyed their outing. They cam up from the beach last evening and re turned to Portland, where th session of th grange wilt be continued today. Q W, Pi.ul, agent of the Portland board of the Heamen' union, arrived In the rlty lost night for th purpose of looking after th surviving member of the crew of the schooner Webfoot. All of the men lost their clothing and each I entitled to a union benefit of r,o. Should the bodies of the three lost men b recovered there will be a fun eral benefit for each of $8$. The Web foot' sailors each ha 170 In wage due him. The local trade council will co operate with Mr. Paul In looking after the Interest ot th men from th stand point of humanity. Mr. Paul will also Investigate the condition of th union men employed on the Chinook. He states thut there I no dissension among the Chinook' men and that hi visit I purely a formal one. He ex pect to be In the ( Ity for a few day. The Thanksgiving day exercises at the high school proved most success ful and a number of parents attended. The program was an interesting one and the students, especially Mis Ger trude Upshur, acquitted themselves creditably. The program wu a fol lows: Hong, "Thunksglvlng Cheer," by the school; reading.

Councilman Kaboth waxed exceed ingly sarcastic at the adjourned meet ing of the council Wednesday night The proposal hud been advanced that the street committee might unofficial ly order alteration of the plan for Im proving Franklin avenue in the east end, Mr. Kaboth void the committee on lire and water had been anxloua to assume several additional burden, such us conducting the Are depart ment, and that the health and police committee hud been Invited to run the police department; but, as a member of the street committee, he protested agulnst the council Imposing any such responsibility on that body as wa con tained in the suggestion with reference to the Franklin avenue repair, Mr. Kaboth wua of the opinion that the council should bear a burden of this sort. City Attorney Smith doea not desire to verbally advise the , street committee as to It authority In the matter, but will render a written re port The council la very anxloua to muke the necessary repair at Thirty- eighth street but will not leave any loophole by which the cost of the work, something like $12,600, could be thrown upon the city. The alteration neces sary would cost perhaps not more than $100, but the proposal Involves the con tract price. Mr. Lebeck expressed th belief that the city should force the contractor to make the repair, a in thla manner the city could not be held liable. The contractor could probably be forced to build the 60 feet of trestle necessary, for the council could refuse to accept the street until the work was done. However, another way will be found to deal satisfactorily with the matter. ., .;, ,..,. , ., ... There I no doubt locally a to the fate of the three gallon who left the waterlogged Webfoot Tuesday . after noon, as she rolled around In the sea oft Tillamook rock. The men had eat en nothing for four day when they took to the email boat in a forlorn at tempt to reach shore and secure as sistance, and, If their frail craft with stood the fury of the storm, Ita occu pants must have perished ere this of hunger and thirst, or have frosen to death, The weather was bitterly cold Tuesday night and again Wednesday night, and It is believed the hapless fellows, could not possibly have sur vived. There Is a remote possibility that some passing steamer picked them up and took them to San Francisco or to th sound. . Eight or 10 vessels passed up and do;n the coast on Tues day and Wednesday and may have sighted th shipwrecked mariner, but little hope I entertained that they hav survived th terrible ordeal through which they passed. It I con sidered remarkabel that th eight men comprising th crew of the Webfoot lived for flv day on th sea-washed cabin of th derelict The derelict I (till at anchor off th O. R. N. dock. Only th stump of her mlzien mast re main, and her generally delapldated condition furnishes mute evidence of her ' unsuccessful struggle with the storm. The vessel will probably be worthless, except for her lumber, some of which 1 whit cedar and quit valu able. Captain Lewi and th surviv ing members of the crew, who were nearly dead when the Elder reached them, were refreshed after a night' good rest, but the veteran skipper still show the effect of hi long exposure. While he wu huddled on top of the cabin with hi men he gave hi over coat to the cook, who happens to be short of stature. The coat would af ford complete protection to the cook and but partial protection to the cap tain, and the latter was anxloua to get a much service out of It a possible. Because of loss of teeth the captain found It Impossible to eat any of the raw potatoes which constituted the crew' stock of provisions, and for thl reason fared worse than the other. When the Elder came along and low ered provisions to the shipwrecked men one of them, well-nigh famished, ravenously swallowed five cups of cof fee. The captain declined to eat when he arrived In the city, but his men did not follow his example.
