SWEDEN PICKS UP THE GAUNTLET HAS ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE OF THE FINN TUG- 0-WAR TEAM AND WILL MEET IT IN CONTEST FOR A PURSE OF liooo. Theodore Lathi's challenge has not i been wasted. As captain of the Finn tug-o-war team it is up to him to meet with A. M. Plank, the recently elected captain of the Swedish team, and ar range for a meeting. The gauntlet cast l"n to all-comers by the Finn team has been snatched up by rope pullers from Sweden and all they ask is that a cer tain length of time be allowed for them to get in condition and that the stakes be large enough. This will be a contest for the cods to witness and nations ti stand aghast at. "We don't care to boast of the mat ter," said Captain Plank last evening, "but we are ready to give the Finn team a pull and I am ready to make arrange ments. But we are not ready to get into harness at the present time and before signing contracts for a contest would like a little time, say two or three weeks' to get into shape. The purse mentioned to be pulled for is $1000 and we are ready with our end of it when the papers are signed. We think that this contest should be gone about carefully and i thorough understanding be reached be. fore the men take a strain on the rope, The only thing I can gee now to prevent the contest is that the Finn team may not want to give as much time as we want We can not pull them on short notice, nor do I think they will demand it; what we want is a good fair contest." That there will be a monster tug-o- nar contest nobody doubts. The Finn team i on its mettle and has made boasts which it can not well back down from and which it does not care to if it could. Captain Plank's acceptance of the challenge will probably be acknowl edged and the contest arranged. When the contest is arranged it is suggested that an athletic carnival will be held and preliminary to the tug-o war a boxing contest or two, with some wrestling stunts, would make a good program. BANKERS VISIT IN ASTORIA ARE ENTHUSIASTIC OVER FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR BIG CITY AND MAY INVEST WILL VISIT HAM MONO ANli THE JETTY. 0. L. Mactiibbon, of the (ierman American bank uf Portland, and J. M. uderson, an export banking man of 81 I'uul, Minn., are vMting in Astoria for ii few days, ami will look over the field here for investment. Thev arrived iti the city yesterday and will probably visit WarrenUm, lliiinmoml, Fort Stev en ami tne tamous loiummu mver jetty during the ui't lew days. Mr. MaeXiibbon has been In Astoria be fore and asserted his belief that the city had a grand future before it tt a com luereiul and shipping point. He com uieuted favorably upon the work being June bv the Chamber of Commerce in the way ot boosting the city ami aUI llial the progressive spirit of a city' ettizeits had more to do with helping growth than any other thing. A city will be a long time growing to any sue," He saw, "it the people sit down and wait for others to come along and do the work. While it is probable that outsiders may do the building, it is only because ot the natural advant ages which apiNNU to them, ana make them desirous of helping out in a great giowth aud thereby increasing their business. Even then it will take years miles the natives of the city pull to- ther with the right spirit, and mate every effort to pave tne way tor pro gress. That Astoria is bound to be an im- urtant shipping point, I have not the ast doubt. The Hill interests have pur- based considerable hind in Hammond ud along the water trout, and it is cer tain that they mean to do something in the way of building wharves and ware houses for shipping. The completion of the bridge across the Columbia at Van couver will be followed, in my opinion, by active operations at this end of the line. "This work will be completed within about 30 days and when the men are through I believe that they will be shipped down to Hammond to work on the terminals to be located there. The wheat of Eastern Oregon and Washing ton to be exported will undoubtedly be brought down on the north bank of the Columbia to Vancouver and then down to Astoria and Hammond for shipment" Mr. Anderson, who has only been in the west a couple of days, is also im pressed with the natural advantages of Astoria and its tributaries for a big seaport. He will make a close investiga tion of the district and may engage in business here. "What strikes me as an important feature of living in the west," he said, enthusiastically, "is the healthy appear ance of the people. You surely have a glorious climate here and I have al ready felt the benefit of the health- giving qualities of the atmosphere." Mesmer 0. J. GRACE IN TOWN YESTERDAY. Getting Ready for Bis Lecture on the Seawall in October. Preparing for his lecture on the sea wall proposition along the waterfront of Agtoria, O. J. Grace, the well known Portland engineer, who has been building numerous skyscrapers in that city, was a visitor in Astoria yesterday. He was here to investigate the plan and stated that it was perfectly feasible. The cost of the piling and other ma terial required for the seawall, includ ing all the details of the work have been gone over by Air. Grace, who has made several visitors to the city during the paitt few months to thoroughly investi gate the plan. His visit yesterday was taken up by going over the waterfront from Tongue Point to Smith's Point ai a final inspection. His. lecture has practically ben com pleted and is ready for delivery, and bli last inspection was partly for the pur pose of considering the situation thor oughly. He was the guest of Frank Pat ton last night and he was a visitor at the Chamber of Commerce in the morn ing. He will deliver his lecture on the sea wall some time in October before officials of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and will give all facts and figures in con nection with it. He states that while the cost of the seawall will run up to quite a figure, the saving in insurance rates by the improvement will make up the amount in a few years. NO NERVE FOR SUICIDE.
