About two mouths ago they commenced the work of dis- mantling th wreck but owing to the scarcity of labor were forced to desist. On Monday last they resumed work and will continue until the wreckage i has been removed to Astoria. Thus is solved one of the greatest mysteries of Astoria for years and the cause of the mystery can be seen today for the last time in the city as it will br. finished tonight. u usl Arrived Mesmer Meaner At the blacksmith shop of Henry Asp, eorner Twelfth and Duane streets, there being finished a "contraption"' that has keen more of a puzzle to many of the Astoria people than the solution of the question" of "How Old is Ann." More questions have been asked about it than wild appear in a stenographic report f the examination of a talesman for a flace on the jury of San Francisco jraf i ease. Many would ask what it was but ft-tre was no one to answer. The cause i all the inquiries was what appeared to be a logging truck. Two large wheels flaoed upon an arched axle with a heavy league was being painted a glowing armine. When Judge Trenchard wa told that it was a logging truck he im. ediately hunted up Commissioner Lar and they measured the width of the tt'njg. "It won't do," said the Judge, "that's to wide for our roads. We'll have to liden them if these things are to be d- Won't we, Larsen!" Commission er Larsen agreed with him but whispered it. the judge's ear: "I ju-t heard that Berman Prael is having th.it made for a trotting sulky." "If you'll promise to keep quiet I'll tell yro what it is. It's a new racing cart that the survivor's of old 'Rescue's is fcaving built for a hose race with the Skamokawa team." "The wheels of progress will hit As toria," said Mayor Wise, "and these are tie advance guard." About that time Ju.lge Anderson came long, after sentencing some poor unfor teoatts, and said: "That's for us to put the county of fcials on in the coming tug-o-war match o that we can pull them easy." Some suggested that it might be the jatrol wagon that Chief Gammal wants ao badly Others that it might be part of 41i proposed extension of the can line to Seaside. ) But it devolved on one who had heard the many inquiries to quietly make some kvestigation into the matter with this eault: the "contraption" is being finish ed for the Pacific Iron WorkB who, hav ing purchased the wreck of the bark "Galena" are stripping her intending to) STRAUS PLEASES ALL (Continued from page 1) ' occasion one of the largest and most '. representative bodies of business men ever gathered in Honolulu assembled to present the commercial needs of the Is lands. L. A. Thurston, speaking in be half of the merchants and planters, de scribed certain commercial disadvan tages resulting from annexation, laying particular stress upon the necessity for a modification of the coastwise shipping laws applying to the Islands, which penalize the carrying of passengers and freight between the territory and the mainland of the United States in other than American bottoms. Replying to this address Secretary Straus assured the Islanders that he would endeavor to have existing griev ances remedied, and concluded his . ad dress by saying: "I have the knowledge and experience of the fact that one of the greatest shortcomings in the way of the pro gress of the Islands is that there is not sufficient communication between them and the mainland. This you must have and you ought to have, and speaking individually and officially, I promise you that I shall do everything within my power to assist in getting the shipping facilities that you need. I have seen much of the world. I am familiar with those places which are the favored lands for tourists, and my eight days' stay here has convinced me that there is no land on the face of the earth, con sidering climate and population, ankl considering beauty and attractiveness of scenery and charms of hospitality, which offers so much to the tourist, either in health or pleasure, as this Wen of the Pacific." "An Meal condition for the future welfare of these Islands will be that il.ere should not be too great a prepon derance of any one race, but that an equilibrium be maintained. I would im press upon you, and upon each of the -everal races here, to have a care not to exploit these Islands and their re ccurces for the benefit of the country from which they came, but to act in v.t the "what is it?" in moving the the spirit of the government under which We have just received our Fall and 1 Winter stock of THE FAMOUS OREGON BUCKSKIN CLOTHING manufactured at the Salem and Brownsville Woolen Mills of pure Oregon wool.

When the Secretary left Honolulu a large crowd was assembled on the dock to witness the departure. .vcTCiary Straus stood on the deck of the steamer decked with a wreath of flowers, the last token of friendship bestowed by the warm-hearted Islanders, who cheered vociferously as the steamer moved from the harbor. The last sound that reached the steamer from the shore was "Aloha Xui," the Hawaiian farewell greeting and expression of regard and esteem.

POltTLAXD, Sept, 12 Carrying buoys n nd spars, the United States lighthouse tinder Armeria, Captain Gregory, left the Greenwich dock at 1 o'clock this afternoon, to mark the ship channel be tween Portland and the sea, in accord ance with the recent surveys completed by the pilots A greater number of buoys and spars will be put in place this year than usual, so plainly marking the chan nel that no one will ever have any ex cuse for running a ship aground. The Armeria will be employed at the task for the greater part of a week. - It was her fiist visit to Portland, and during her brief stay she was boarded by a large number of people. The fact that she is the largest craft in the lighthouse serv ice in American waters was the princi pal attraction, although Captain Greg ory's popularity had much to do with it. ed under the laws of New Jersey or .Maine, but the headquarters of the com pany will be in Chicago: Mr. Davis said today: "Wealthy capitalist of New York, St. Louis and Chicago are interested In the new com pany. We have secured options on the fcires of four telephone companies, and 100,000 miles of telephone wires are available for use now in the Kat, Went and a large portion of the South. "We propose to construct, equip and operate standard telegraph lines through out the United States. "By the use of our proposed new in struments we will be uhli; to transmit telegraphic messages over local and through telephone wires without inter n.pting or in any way interfering with the telephone service, thereby greatly increasing the earning capacity of the local and general telephone companies and reducing the cost of operation anil maintenance. "We will in no way alliliate with any other telegraph company. Our rates will be lower. The cost to the telegraph company in sending five op ten extra words in the same message would be exceedingly slight, while the benefit to the general public would lie a great con sideration. "We will adopt the eight-hour system from the start and maintain it, We will also pay for all overtime according to a just and equitable scale, to be agreed upon. Arbitration shall be adopted in each case of dispute with employees, We expect to form our company next week and to open up for business a week later."
