FRIDAY, MAY 13. io6 THE MORNING ASTOHIAN. ASTORIA. OREGON. DAY OF PLEASURE Coos Bay Entertains Delegates in Royal Manner. TAKEN TO SEE THE SIGHTS Debates From Willamette Valley Are Treated in Fine Style by the Citizens at Coos Bay Are Given Big Feed. NORTH BEND, Ore.. May 24. - This will be a day of sightseeing and eating for the Tortland and Willamette Valley delegate to the Farmers and Shippers' Congress. The actual business of the congress closed last night. A morning and afternon session was held during which about twenty speeches, all telling of the vast wealth that lay in the Coo country and predicting a great future for Coos Bay. In tlie afternoon were made resolutions urging Congress to au thorize the War Department to expend . the balance of the money appropriated a long time ago for the purpose of build ing a jetty at the Coos Bay bar, were passed as follow: "Resolved. That the Oregon delega tion in Congress be instructed that it is the sense of this meeting that out of the available funds heretofore appro priated for the improvement of Coos Bay, and which now remain unexpend ed, a sufficient amount be immediately placed at the disposal of the Secretary of War. to be usad in defraying the expenses of making a new survey and estimate for a new project, which shall give a minimum depth of 40 feet of water on the Coos Bay bar, with a 35 foot channel to the head of navigation at mean low tide." Another important resolution passed by the congress was a resolution of protest against the Hill and Harriman lines who have agreed to place in opera tion June 1st, a new minimum weight for shipping lumber. The resolution was discussed by several speakers, who main tained that the new minimum rate would cripple the Eastern shipment of Oregon timber. One speaker declared that it would be practically impossible to ship East sash, doors and window easing or any finished lumber under the proposed new mini mum. This morning the delegates were taken on an excursion around Coos Bay. At noon there was a big barbecue of boiled crab, clams and trout. This even ing there is to be a banquet. Before the meeting adjourned last night resolutions were passed providing for a congress to be held at Forest Grove in September, and one in Cottage Grove in November. AH the delegates are united in saying that the congress is one of the most enthusiastic so far held, and will be pro ductive of great good to this section of Oregon.

FIRE EXTINGUISHED. NEW YORK. May 24 A fit that burned briskly in the steerage quarters of the big Holland-American line steam er Neue Amsterdam moored at the foot of Fifth street. Hoboken, gave the pas sengers and members of the crew some excitement last night. The fire was discovered by the cap tain's inspector who noticed a red gleam from one of the forward port holes of the sterage deck. Captain Bunjer sounded the ship's fire alarm and then climbed to the scene of the trouble. Several traw mattresses in the forward part of the steerage deck were on fir! and the flames had spread to a wooden partition. The fire fighting force of the ship got lines of hose streaming on the blaze in quick order, but Captain Bunjer, not caring to take chances, had an officer go ashore and summon the city firemen. Near the fire one of the large hatches leading to the freight hold forward waB opened and invited the flames. There was a lot of valuable freight in the ship. When the Holroken firemen arrived the fire crew from the Bremen dock came too. The combined forces soon had the fire under control and before great damage had been done. The origin of the fire is a mystery. ISSUES RESTRAINING ORDER. NEW YORK, May 24.
