Forest fires, set by Finnish settlers while burning slashings, have destroyed 1.000,000 feet of logs belonging to Lar kins Bros.' logging camp, as well as much standing timber. The fires are still burning and everything is very dry. The following, taken from the lat number of the Xew York Marine Jour nal, i of decided interest in its way and has a bit of local color, a well; "The excellent performance of the Shaw Spiegle automatic steam towing ma chines in towing the drydock Dewey half way around the world is bringing to the manufacturers of this device. the American Ship Windlass Company, of Providence, R. I., unsolicited testi monials of the good work this machine is doing elsewhere, of which the follow ing letter fa a sample: The Oregon Railroad A Navigation Company, Astoria Station, July 20, 1906. American Ship Windlass Com pany, R. I, Gentlemen: Will you kind ly send me two or three of your cata logues of your towing machines! I have had some inquiries about the one I have in use on the tug Ta toosh, which you furnished four years ago, and I would not run a tugboat without one. I am using the same hawser that was put on the machine four years agj this month and it is good yet. This hawser has been bandied as many as fourteen times in day on the Colum bia River bar. ""Our machine is the No. 5, which is two sizes larger than we need to have for this work, but was purchased for towing log rafts on the coast here, where we use two tugs, one made fast to the Tatoosh. Signed, "C. T. BAILEY, ."'Master Tug Tatoosh. "Before the Tatoosh was supplied with a towing machine her attempts to tow over bars of Pacific Coast ports were frequently attended with the part ing of ha)r manila hawsers and' the towed vessel going ashore. The saving in the cost of hawsers alone has been worth a great deal to the Tatoosh. as manila hawsers such as she would need of the same strength and length as a steel wire hawser would cost some where around $700 or $800 each. A wire hawser is handled as a matter of course on the dram of the towing ma chine, thereby saving a lot of time and labor in hauling it inboard." The schooner Halcyon hauled into the Clatsop mill dock at 8 o'clock yes terday morning, and will load lumber thence, for San Francisco. Her crew of seven was paid off at the custom house yesterday afternoon, for the round trip from this port to Guaymas, Mexico. Olson 4 Mahoney, a shipping firm of San Francisco, have just let a contract for the building of another steam schooner at Aberdeen to ply in the lum ber trade between the Columbia river and the Bay City. The veel will have a carrying capacity of 750,000 feet, and is expected to be ready for service by We have had such a successful sale on the White Australian Chinaware that we have decided to give another sale.

STOKES "Good Clothes for Men Who Know." the early part of January. Oliver J. Olson, a member5 of the firm lwving the craft built, says that the steam schoon er Jim Butler, a lumber-carrier being built for them at Aberdeen, will arrive in Astoria on Saturday from the North. Her machinery will be installed by the Willamette Steel 4 Iron Works, of Portland. The prbtewt rent-fitly filedj by the master of the British steamship Beek enham against the levy and collection of tonnage dues at this port, by the customs authorities here, has been overruled by the department at Wash ington. It was claimed that the Beck enham was not liable for such dues as she did not hail from a foreign port, having come here direct from the Itoyal Roads at Victoria, B. C, where she touched simply for orders. But the Department of Commence and Labor declares in terms that she hailed from there as a port of clearance and i-t amenable to the charge. The repairs necessary on the state pilot schooner San Jose were deter mined yesterday by Pilot Commission er A. V. Pendleton, who came down from Portland for that purpose. Tho new foremast-head will cost in the neighborhood of $200. There can be no recourse on the insurance carried upon the vessel ,to the tune of $300, as that is payable only in event of a total loss. The work will proceed with at once and the boat put on duty again as soon es possible. The steamer Telegraph landed 140 people in Astoria yesterday; at 1:30 o'clock p. m. They were mostly Sunday-school excursionists from Portland, and were guests of Mr. Harcourt, who finds pleasure in contributing these out ings to this young friends of the dif ferent churches there. They spent an hour in the brilliant sunshine and brac ing air of Astoria and then went home ward on that steamer, delighted with the trip. The Harvest Queen is the busiest craft on the Columbia river. She is good for anything, passenger service, towing, freighting, any old thing, and is kept everlastingly at one or the other, with a double crew, and a set of offi cers that know their business, from bowing a lady over the gang plank to towing a fleet of schooners one hundred miles up the river without chafing a hawser. The British ship AUerton has received orders to proceed from Iiiiiie for Port land in ballast. Before her arrival it is supposed that she will be chartered to load grain for the United Kingdom. The four-masted schooner Admiral came in over the bar yesterday after noon, from San Francisco, and will go to Portland, for lumber destined for that city in California that needs it most. From the fact that the French ship Laennec, now in port, does not measure In conformity with the American schedule of space tonnage, she will bj compelled to pay for 148 ton more than the French law accords her. The schooner Orient went to Port land yesterday, and will load lumber out of there for the Bay City. The motor schooner fierald C, ar rived in yesterday, from Alsea. and will sail todjy for Siletz. It is reported from San Francisco that surveyor of the Port, Woodward, has issued an order that hereafter all vesel arriving at that port are to be inspected by the customs inspector to see that there is no violation of the passenger laws. Such an order is likely to be promulgated here in the near future. The steamer Undine came down from Portland last night on tho run of the Lurline, and went back with a good lit of people and plenty of freight. Captain Lnrkin was in command, and he looked pretty weary when he land ed here. He will have to go a thousand miles from the Columbia before he will take the rest that he really needs. The British ship Bhrdowie, Captain Suiter, completed her luinlier cargo at Portland yesterday evening and moved out into the stream. Several additional sailors are needed before she is ready to leave. The Bardowie will go to Port Pirie, Australia, and has on board close to 2,000,000 feet of fir. Khe has been in the harbor fince May 27th. This afternoon the British Steamship Sutherland, Captain Wallace, will arrive here from Portland, bound for Shang hai with 2,300,000 feet of lumber. The work of looding the vescl was com pleted yesterday afternoon at Ionian, Poulxen k Co.'s mill. She has been in port lcs than two weeks and has been given fairly good dispatch, when the large number of ships which had to be supplied with cargoes recently are taken into consideration. "EAST LYNNE." Crowded House Again Witnesses the Lee Willard Company. Another fair sized audience witnessed the performance of "East Lynne" at the Star; theatre. Too much praise can not be bestowed on all the members of Mr. Willard's excellent company for the way the piece has been produced. We cannot say any more than has already been said about each member, Suffice to say that this play has been in every way a success. "East Lynne" will be produced for Saturdny matinee and to night. The company will produce for the first time, the English melodrama, "The Silver King," with Mr. Willard in the leading role. This piece gives Mr. Willard ample scope to display his talents. The rest of the company will be suitably cast. The production will be under the direction of Mr. JIarry lilnnchard. ASTORIA GROCERY P10NE, HAITI Mi. 5J COMMERCIAL STRUT.
