WEDNESDAY, AUGUST a, 1907. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. WBAT IS DOING A FORT STEVENS SOME INTERESTING NEWS FROM THE POST NEW ARRIVALS GOOD SHOOTING MUCH ACTIV ITY SHOWN. The officers and men at Fort Stevens feel greatly elatevl over tlie result of tlie recent tarcet practice at that post. On AnpuH 19th tlie Thiry-fourth Company of the C A. C under command of Capt Willis fired at a moving target at dist anees from 000 to 6000 yard. The firing was done with 10 inch guns and out of six shots fired six hits were made. This is a percentage of 100. This record is one to be proud of and the post is lustlv so. At the recent maneuvers wherein the militia participated Capt. ' Willis gave a fine exhibition of his knowledge and ability in this line of work but the recent exhibition eclipses all. The captain has long been an en thusiastic soldier. Even as a militiaman his record in the Philippine war was sufficient to place him in the regular army in his present rank. The shoot ing by' the 34th Co. will be hard to beat. Captain Thos. B. La more ux, wife and two sons, have arrived at Fort Stevens where they will make their home. Capt. Lamoreux is from Fort Tottens, L. I., school of submarine and torpedo tie fens and has been appointed district artillery engineer and will have charge of the submarine and torpedo defense work. He succeeds Capt. Bishop who left some time ago for his new station at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Great activity is noticeable in Com pany 33 at Fort Columbia, and Company $4 at Fort SteTen, owing to the fact that these companies have been relieved from duty at the guns and have been changed into submarine and torpedo de fense companies. They have recently received 40 miles of cable for submarine mines and will immediately take up their duties in the new lines. Nothing as yet has been heard regard ing the plans of the new barracks build ing that was intended to be built at Fort Stevens as mentioned hereto fore. - It was expected that a company of submarine mining engineers would be sent to occupy these barracks but it is now learned that this, company will be sent to Fort Casey, Wash., so it may be that the building will not be elected. '"it behooves the influential peo ple of Astoria to bestir themselves in the matter that the building may not be loss to us. H. C Smith of the quartermaster's department has just returned from a 10 days' trip to Mineral Springs, Wash. He was much benefited by the trip and re ports the ffrst two days of hi stay quite warm while the weather for the balance of the time was cooler. Capt, Steele and wife are visiting friends at SeasMe.

Looking Backward I Now that the fishing season is over and it is proven, that the fishwheels de stroy the salmon as they are about to ascent to nature's spawning grounds, it is well to look back a few years ago hen for successive sessions of the Legislature, Herman Wise joined the committee of the Fishermen's Union ia fighting for the preservation of this great industry, if the other merchants had done like Mr Wise who spent his time and money and worked like a Trojan, the bill prohibiting fishing above tide water might have passed. But most merchants are short-sighted: they are willing to have the fishermen's trade, bnt won't spend money or work to the end that the fishermen get more fish, that's why the intelligent fishermen trade with Herman Wise. A dollar spent with Wise always means the upbuilding of Astoria. s7 Morning Aatorlan, 10 month, delivered by carrier. cents per Talking Machine.
