Anonymous Notes In conversation
with Dr. Mohn, city physician, yes
terday, that gentleman reported
health conditions in Astoria as free
from any serious complications of a
communicable sort; and liicidently,
the doctor said he desired it known
all over the city, that he declined to
take any notice whatever, personal,
nor official, of anonymous communica
tions addressed to him. A number of
uch missives have reached his of
fice lately, calling his attention to
disreputable and unhealthful condi
tions in certain yards and premises,
but unsigned, and therefore carrying
the quality of spite-work and certain
ly that of irresponsibility.

Alumna Arrive in and Goes to Knepp
ton Bark C. B. Kenney Here from
Son Francisco Geo. W, Elder
Due Here Tomorrow.
The lino light-house tender Heather
went out on a supply minion yester
day. t tho light-ship off the Columbia
ami to the light million nt Tillamook
Kock, and to round up a bunch of
truant buoys that have drifted down
and out of the Columbia during the
recent col J stiup.
The bark Charles It. Kenney. from
San Francisco, In ballast, arrived In
port yesterday, and will load lumber
outward as soon m she can find her
way to an up-river mill.
The big line steamer Potter I still
ensconsed In the bight above the
Clatsop mills, awaiting a clear river
to Portland. It was rumored yester
day that, anticipating an extended lay
up here, some of her crew were paid
off and returned to the metropolis on
the evening train.
The Catlen.ler steamer Melville
Micceeded yesterday In coming out of
IVep Rlvt-r with a 3on.nn t log raft
for the McOn-gor il'!s- landed
them safely at the boom. Slie had
her ."hare of Ice-trouble both ways on
the trip.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
there had been no change In condi
tions at Warrior ltck. The steamship."
Columbia. Arragonla and Roanoke
were still In company, the two latter
an anchorage, the first named In the
Ice. But It I hoped today will see
their release, and their arrival at the
metropolis and at this city. Some day
soon they will make this tliulr port
of arrival and departure, and then
there will be no such wretched delays
and costly Interruptions to business.
The British ship Halcwood went to
the lower harbor on the hawsers of
the Tatoosh. but was not reported out
at 4 o'clock, it Is more than likely
she went over the bar on the f, o'clock
flood, on her way to Tacoma.
The four masted schooner Alumna
arrived in from Sat: Francisco yester
day afternoon, and will haul to the
Knappton mills for her outward load
of lumber. The schooner Churchill Is
now here taking on lumber for the
lower coast.
There was no abatement In the
quantity of ice in the river at this
port yesterday, though its quality whs
manifestly of the "mushy" sort that
testified plainly to the effects of the
thawing weather and the hope Is
abroad that the end of the spell Is at
hand. It was crumbling fast as It
swept to and fro on the channel wa
ter all day and breaking up into mi
nute pieces, the large fields segregat
ing on all sides. The pi"r fronts
along the city channel show distinct
ly the op'-ratlon of passing, crunching
masses that have swarmed in the bay
for the past six days.
The steamship Geo. V. Klder is due
In this port tomorrow, from San Pe
dro, San Francisco and F.ureka, and
will probably load alongside her run
ning mate, the Roanoke, In Portland.
The Ice In the river has disorganized
all manner of schedules.
The Callender boats for Deep River
and Gray's River went over yesterday
morning, and as nothing had been
heard from them at dark, It Is pre
sumed they were successful In get
ting up those streams, for some dis
tance, anyway.
The steamship Santa Maria, of the
Union oil fleet, left this port yester
day afternoon (at least she went down
to the bar for that purpose), on her
way to the Sound cities. She left S,-
000 barrels of her cargo of 40,000 bar
rels and will dispose of the balance
at Seattle and Tacoma, as she could
not make It to Portland. Portland Is
practically off the map when It comes
to a freeze-up In the Columbia.
