Glad Hands All Out Captain Dickson, army paymaster of the Department of the Columbia, arrived down on the noon train yes terday, and went direct to the forts on the steamer Major Guy Howard, to pay off the men at Forts Stevens, Columbia and Canby. He found the glad-hand wherever he went and in most instances he succeeded in filling it. He returned to this city in time to take the 6:10 express to Portland Among the- Estates- Judge Trenchard yesterday made an order in the estate of J. Y. Kwong, deceased, of which Frank Spittle is attorney for the administrator, ap proving the final account of R. T. Twombley, administrator, and dis charging him and his bondsmen, from all further liability in the premise. Home, With La Orlppe S. J. Arrigoni, the well known engi neer of Chemical No. 1, of the As toria fire department, was compelled to leave his quarters and post yes terday and go to his home, owing to the grip of la grippe which had fastened upon him. It is hoped he will be out in a few days. Redmen on Warpath The Redmen held an initiation last evening in their hall and had about 100 visitors from neighboring lodges. After the exercises they sat down to w a banquet and it was the we sma hours before. they turned their steps homeward. Police Court There were four gentlemen in the A. A. A. A.- The malicious rumor that the As toria Athletic Association is about to disband and give back the money to the members is unfounded. The fact that they could not get suitable quarters is the reason there has been delay in getting started. However, the fact about the proposed erection of a building for the association will be reported on Wednesday, and it is safe to say there will be something doing soon. The Finest Afloat Captain Jim Keating is to have one of the finest motor boats on the lower Columbia next Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, when Richard Leathers, the builder, shall launch the "Pilot, No. 2".

It will give her 121 miles easily and keep her at it as long as may be desired. She is of Port Orford cedar planking and oak frame and is built for all time. Her cost will exceed $5000 and he wilt do the same line of general bay service her predecessor has done for so long, and both wilt be run by Captain Keating in, his business. She is a "jim-dandy," Difference and Distinction A well known drummer who often makes Astoria, to the universal de light of all who know him, was in the city yesterday, and domiciled at the Occident, Early in the evening lie was busy writing at the office dck when a friend tapped him on the shiuldcr and asked if he was "filling up the big orders of the day?" to which he responded, "No, I'm just trying to answer an eleven page letter from my best girl!" the friend persisted in knowing if that was his wife he meant, when he re plied, "Not on your life; I sent her a pootat card this morning I" A Bit Too Promiscuous There are numbers of complaints made lately about the piling of lum ber and the leaving of idle wagons, promiscuously about the thorough fares of the city; and it is said the council will be asked again to in tervene in behalf of the populace to whom these things are down-right nuisance. Lumber might just as well be unloaded close to the cub-lines, and as for the idle vchcles, there is no excuse for their standing round when t heir owners are paying for barn Morage., It is getting to be an old story and the tale should be cut short. Getting Snugged Down Ed. Lewcllyn, head of Hose No. 1, is getting things snugged down at the old brick engine house at Astor and Fourth streets, lie has installed a et of concrete gutters to serve the talls of the horses, with four faucet floods to serve it, and the refuse from the stalls is carried to the tides without a hand-stroke of manual la bor and the sanitation of the place is put at the top-notch at the same time. The quarters, upstairs and down are being gradually overhauled and made comfortable, both in the reception and living quarters, and everything is kept in the pink of cleanliness. The council has ordained the plastering of the face of the building and as soon as the spring breaks the bouse will be nicely painted and embellished all over, inside and out. "Toughey," the bob-tailed, lavender-colored cat, the mascot of No. 1, is on deck and doing regular duty in being petted and fed, and works hard at his tasks; and the horses "are iu clover," as usual. Mr. Lewcllyn says everything is all right, except there is no one about to reve the haliards the flagpole that rises 100 feet above the sidewalk, but that he has $5.00 handy for the first man that comes along and fixes them up. PERSONAL MENTION W. J. White, representing the Pacific Paper Co., of Portland, came down on the morning train yesterday and is "papering" the town. D. W. Clancy, of Chinook, was an Astoria visitor yesterday. Rev. John Waters, rector of St. Mary's Catholic Church, was a pas senger for the metropolis on last evening's express. He returns to night. Edward Utzinger, of this city, ac companied by his sister, Miss Marie Utzinger, left for Southern Califor nia yesterday morning, on a quest for better health which it is hoped by his trends he may succeed in finding readily and fully. C. A. Woelflen, oil inspector for the State of Washington, with headquar ters at Portland, was in the city yes terday, overlooking the Standard plant here. Lieutenant and Mrs. B. H. Kerfoot were homing passengers for Fort Stevens on the noon, express from Portland yesterday. Verne L, Joslyn, business manager of the Cornell Industrial lectures was in the city Sunday.

A wire less was received from her at North Head yesterday morni.ig at 8 o'clock, when she was about 50 miles south of the Columbia bar, advising the operator that she was there and all well. As she approached the bar it was extreme low water and she wait ed for the flood turn and entered about 3 o'clock, and docked at the O. R. & N. piers at 5 precisely. She makes a handsome appearance and looks not unlike the old Colum bia in the long swing of her lines, from a quayter view of her. She is very snugly fitted throughout and her passengers admit the service aboard is of the very best She has accommodations for 170 first-class passengers and can take care of 200 bclow-stairs with ease and comfort to all. She has a registered cargo tonnage of 2609.96, and has plenty of deck-room everywhere. Her offi cers are: Captain, W. Kid t son; first officer, H. II. Reese; second officer, Oliver Rankin; third officer, J. B. Barneson; chief engineer, J. F. Jack son; first assistant, E. J. Mooney; second assistant, C. E. Stevens; third assistant, E. Lahte; purser,, J. E. Byrnes; and steward, F. Funk. She brought up 60 first-class pas sengers, among whom were Otto E. Carlson, of this city, and John Carl son, of Seattle. Head winds prevailed all the way up the coast, but she made good time and is accounted a worthy successor of the famous old Columbia to whose place she has been assigned in the service. She laid here about two hours and then went on to the me tropolis under the pilotage of Captain Snow. There were several hundred Astorians down at the docks to see her as she made her initial berthing in this port and all hands were pleas ed with her comely lines and ship shape appearance, generally. With the Senator, she makes the, SA F.-P. service, of a top-notch char acter and both are a credit to any line on the coast Almost simultaneously with the arrival of the Rose City, was that of the prime old favorite on this coast the Roanoke, Captain Dunham, com manding, which docked at the Cal ender pier just as the former vessel made fast at the O. R. & N. The Roanoke left San Francisco, within the hour with the Rose City, and stopped at Eureka for an hour or two, and the claim of her officers that she beat the Rose City up the coast by fours hours in not altogether un reasonable. The Roanoke carried 73 first-class people and had 500 tons of merchandise tucked away in her hold for the metropolis. Three passengers disembarked here from her, Messrs. H. A. Olsen, T. B. Case and A. G. Rogers, all traveling men. Mrs. Rob ert Dunham, wife of the popular captain of the Roanoke, who has been in this city for several days the guest of Mrs. Belle Huden, joined her huband at the dock and went on to Portland with him when the steamer left at 6 o'clock. The steamship Breakwater, from Coos Bay points, was among the ar rivals in this port on Sunday last; going on to the metropolis almost immediately. The lively and handsome bay steamers General Washington and Julia B., took a flyer across the Co lumbia together on Sunday last, both bound for Deep River, and both an ious to get there first; but the Wash ington was in the lead when the trip was accounted for, but whether they were racing or not, deponent sayeth not" The steamship Bessie Dollar, with 150,000 bushels of wheat and one mil lion feet of lumber, bound for China, wai due down last night; and will probably go outward sometime today.

Among the ships in the lower har bor awaiting a chance to go sea ward are the Amazon, Rheinbeck, and the Buffon. It is likely all three will get out today, if all things work well, tugs, bar, winds and tides. The British bark Jordanhill, Cap tain Keneally, arrived here on Sun day afternoon at 2 o'clock, after a pleasant and swift passage up from Callao, Peru. The Jordanhill left here last July for Callao; and when the ship left Portland she carried amidships a new 18-foot, 8 horse power naphtha launch, which Captain Keneally bought to expedite com munication with the shore in the var ious ports of the world, and the boat has made good in all ways. Some of the old timers, good friends of Keneally 's allege that the speedy trip he made to Callao and back is due to the fact that he had the launch at hand and turned it to good use in the towing of the ship on both legs of the cruise, averring that the four of five knots the launch could tow the Jordanhill was lots better than the ship could do alone; but of course that is a sailors' yarn, especially one of Captain Thomson's of the Claver don, it sounds just like him. The British bark Crown, of Ger many, from San Francisco, Captain Helms in command, was among the arrivals in this port on Sunday last. She will load wheat out of Portland. The Crown of Germany was in Ma nila Bay when the Spanish-American war broke out and was in the tail-end of the big scrimmage between Dewey and the Armada of Spain. The Span iards were very insolent and ugly to ward all Americans before that battle and would not permit one of them to come ashore there, and the Crown of Germany's boats served the Ameri cans many a good turn by carrying despatches to the authorities ashore and they kept it up till the Dagoes got next, and then the Crown had to hustle out to sea, and as her stern post wiggled over the bar, there were all sorts of shot and shell falling around her. The Crown of Germany and the Boujainville went up to Portland yesterday on the tow-lines of the powerful steamer Harvest Queen. The British bark Jordanhill, now in port, is commanded by the same man, Captain Keneally, who was master of the Ardnamurchan when she left this port in December, 1900, and ran into the awful gale off here, and had to jettison her cargo of salmon to save her and her crew . It wai during this fearful gale that the ship Andrada JUST RECEIVED a fresh shipment of Lowney's Candies Found Boxes 50c and up. Boxes 15c to $2.60 Tag'g's Parlors ' 483 Commercial St went down with all hands includinf Captain Cordiner, of the bar pilot service here. The Andrada hailed the Ardnamurchan for assistance,: but Captain Keneally could not go to her relief, as his own ship was in des perate periL Tbe steamer Daisy Freeman clear ed from this port yesterday, and left the Tongue Point mill dock at 4 ' o'clock for the high sea and Saa Francisco, with 700,000 feet of lum ber. The steamer St Helen's cleared from here yesterday, with 1,289,000 feet of lumber shipped at the Simp son mills at Knappton, and will leave ou for San Francisco this morning. Captain Nolan, of the Lighthouse service, who went out on Saturday last with the lightship No. 67, bound for the Bremerton navy yard, has ad vised friends here of the safe arrival of the tender Armeria there with her tow, the 67. The injured lightship will go on the drydock there at once. The Callender people are setting up a new set of dolphins at their pier ends; the Ferguson-Hoaston dredger doing the work.
