Another Drowning Frank Perkins, a iw.i-iaii.! nn the steamer Altona. was; drowned yesterday morning while as sisting in placing lumber on board the craft at Kelson Moore's mill, near the mouth of the Cowliti river. The acci dent occurred at 7 o'clock and two hours later the body was recovered.

ARABIAN EXTRA A Fair Coffee for 20c Pound FOARD & STOKES CO Astoria's Greatest Store A problem that is becoming more se rious every day. and one that threat ens to cause thousands of dollars loss to millmen and the lumber industry generally, on the lower Columbia, Is the extreme shortage of cars to ship out the mill products. Millmen In Astoria and along this part of the river, are strictly "up against it," and in spite of protests, appeals and even prayers, to the railroad, have been afforded not the slightest relief. The consequence of this paucity of cars are already being experienced in this city, where the Tongue Point Mills, the Clatsop Mills, and other large in dustries have been forced to suspend night work, and are only operating a day shift. It i stated that there be ing no facilities for shipping lumber by rail, the yards would simply become filled with orders which could not be delivered and a loss would entail. At present water transportation is about the sole means of getting mill products out of the way and orders from the South are being filled and sent out a' fast as possible by this means. Eastern orders and shipments des tined for the middle-west, are being refused by the local mills, or if tak en at all the mill refuses to guarantee the time of delivery. In speaking of the situation yester day, a prominent mUlman said that the outlook was indeed very gloomy for any improvement, though he said that perhaps when the wheat of Eastern Washington had been gotten out of the way, there might be a chance for the lumberman. "Every day our mail Is filled with correspondence from our Eastern customers, complaining of the delay in deliveries of orders, and all we can do to attempt to explain our failure to deliver on time. In some cases we are even threatened with lawsuits." Discrimination in the matter of sup plying cars is also intimated. It is al leged by local millmen that the rail road uses favoritism, supplying cars to some and refusing them to others. Cer tain canneries on the river are said to be able to obtain cars upon request, while the mills are refused any satis faction. Portland lumber mills and mills farther up the river are not trou bled so greatly in the lack of cars, which the railroad seems to be able to furnish when called upon. "Astoria is the end of the line," said a man acquainted with the facj, "and it looks if the road did not care whether e mills here were supplied or not. Portland has the pull and the mills there naturally get the cars." At the present time it is said the Tongue Point Lumber company could use 200 cars with ease, if they were to be obtained, and it is the same with other mills. To meet this demand the above mentioned mill was supplied with one car yesterday. Ten cars were said to have been standing on a aide' track, and but one could be obtained. No other mill secured a single car out of this lot, despite repeated requests. It was alleged that the canneries were to be supplied first. What the end will be is only conjec tural. Now the onus of the blame for the car shortage seems to lie with the traffic lines, but according to them, there is no discrimination used toward As toria mills. Railroad men all say that the shortage is the same in all Ore gon and Washington lumber districts. The cars are simply not to be had. ' At Gray's Harbor, for a time, the mills A Railroading Trip Yesterday's Portland express entering this city at 11:33 a. m., had attached to the rear, the private ear of J. H. McClementa, the business representative of George J. Gould, the railway magnate. The car bore the lettering of the Missouri Pa cine line, and was very handsome and comfortably appointed. It was filled by Mr. Clement's party and Included his wife and daughters, besides a number of Invited guests. The trip was one of pleasure, to Seaside ami return, and if there wa any business connected with it, no one in Oregon knew anything about it save the Portland Telegram, which is supposed to know far more than it really does. The Astorian has this upon the word of one of the party, who gave this out as the sum and sub stance of the "new'' to be had from that particular course. ASTORIA GROCERY PHONE, MAIN Mi.
