Mrs. Otto Hcil born was the recipient of mournful news, last night, of the death of her father, P. II. Rimm, at San Francisco yesterday afternoon, from a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Rimm was the guest ot his daughter here this summer, as was Mrs. Rimm, who only returned to her southern home about ten days ago. Was Left Behind. A fine ten-ton re tort destined for use at the cannery of the Bnndon Tacking Company, is lying on the Callcndcr pier awaiting shipment to the Coos Bay plant, the Alliance hav ing been compelled to give it the go bye on her last trip out. With a view of authenticating the re cent Portland despatch In relation to the proposed extension of the Astoria k Columbia River Railroad from Seaside to Tillamook City, a reporter of the Mornintr Aatorlan yesterday, railed upon General Manager O.-W. Tallwt, of that road, at his office In this city, and eskel for as full a statement as was In his power to give, in order that all ambigui ties and misconceptions might be laid aside and the people of this city and sec tlon correctly Informed of the reol pur poses of the company, With ready courtesy Mr. Talbot com plied with a declaration to the follow ing effecti "As a newspaper man you will under stand what I mean when I say that it frequently happens that the people and the paper of a given section are dis posed to make much more of a mooted railway project than is contemplated at headquarters, from a desire to make the most of something that has a large meaning for the comr"nlty interested: and while this has been the rase In this Instance, to a certain extent, there has not been an unduly wide departure from the fact, as might have occurred; and I am glad to be able to Inforss the peo ple of Astoria that it is the intention of the company to take immediate in itial steps toward the work you al lude to. "The chief engineer of the road, Mr. J. V. E. Taylor, will be here tomorrow, with bis assistants, and they will de vote some eight or tec days to a care ful review of the plats and maps In the local office, after which they will take the Held for a full and complete survey of the territory to be traversed, and will be so engaged for not less than three months. "Of course there will be two routes thoroughly investigated and reported upon in this official survey, and the profiles will be returned to headquarters for careful scrutiny, and from the findings there and then made, will the final issue of building, or not building. Ie determined. The lines to be covered embrace a course along the coast, and another in the interior, and I may say that if an operative grade, feasible in all the details demanded in behalf of such a project is attained to, there can be no reason for doubt ins that the ex tension will follow immediately and the work pushed to the earliest possible con clusion. In default of such favorable returns from the field, it is needless to ay that the construction will be aban doned; and as to whether the probabil ities lie with either conclusion suggest ed, I am not sufficiently informed to ren der a reliable opinion, but so far as I can sny, there is nothing to disparage the idea of obtaining a serviceable route through the country in which our inter ests prevail." Asked about the significance of the grade-stakes dotting the country imme diately south of Seaside, Mr. Talbot said the company wag in need of additional terminal facilities at Seaside, which place was growing very perceptibly and that In this behalf, suburban lines had been run there in the interest of such improvements as the company finds it necessary to install, and that they have nothing: to do with the larger matter of the southern survey. Had Hia Picture Taken. "Squidge," Will Hume's ideal little bull-pup has had his picture taken. . To guard against the specific and abounding ugliness of the doir. it was necessary for the photo graphic artist to secure a piece of two- inch plate glass and sensitize it, for the delicate and danscrous transference of Squidge's protruberant little mug, with safety to the plate, and it was success fullv accomplished much to his owner's satisfaction, Squidge was, from the look on his expressive face, perfectly indif ferent to the whole proceeding. Another Slip. The Cnllender Naviga tion Company is equipping its dock with another forty-foot, stationary slip, at the landward end of the pier, which will be a great convenience for the smaller craft that throngs about there on business and pleasure.

Gosse the amateur champion single sculler of the Northwest, was la the city yesterday, having come up from Seaside to confer with the regatta com mittee about his appearance here in the forthcoming water festival He called at the Aatorlan office for a few minutes, and while here made the specific an nouncement that Al Pape had treated him with silence and indifference, despite the fact that he, Gosse, had sent him four separate " and distinct challenges since April last, to-wit: In March last, for the San Diego contest on June 1st, for the trophy put up by the Coronado Hotel t Beach Company; for the same event; In May, through the columns of the Portland Telegram; last month, through the same columns, for the As toria regatta season; and by telegraphic despatch, on Friday last, for the Astoria event, or on any other course that Pape might elect. To none of these open challenges has the challenged man deigned to reply. Mr. Gosse is still willing to meet and race him at any point on the coast, not later than No vember 1st. It is conclusively settled that Mr. Gosse will appear in the re gatta, in friendly contest with several expert oarsmen from Portland, and It is needless to aoy will make a fine and in teresting showing. All Ate Watermelon. The entire force of the Morning Astorian was yesterday treated to a feast in the shape of a huge watermelon, thoughtfully contri buted by Ross, Higgins & Company. To ay that the melon was appreciated, would be stating it far too lightly. It reminded the editor of the time he bad charge of a newspaper in the wilds of Nebraska, and the offer of a years subscription, to the paper which he made to the farmer who should bring the larg est melon. Early in the season large and luscious products of the vine began to come into the office for exhibition and weighing. As the Beason advanced. the contributions became larger, and the keener in what farmers could raise the largest watermelon. It was a poor day when less than 60 melons arrived at the office for judgment, and finally an extra man had to be hired to attend to the weighing part. It was seldom that farmer would keep his melon, and by this means, the force all grew fat on the best melons that the best watermelon country in the world could produce. The largest melon which was brought to the office, weighed 83 pounds and meas ured three feet in thickness. Another Citiien. A nine-pound baby son was bom to Mrs. E. B. Gunzler yesterday, in this city, at the home of her sister,, Mrs. John Frye, on Jerome avenue. Mother and child are doing finely. Fully Naturalized.
