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

charging him and his bondsmen, from

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,

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.

CROWN OF GERMANY ARRIVES
Jordanhill in From Callao Cross-Bay
Race on Sunday The Breakwater
Reaches Port Odds and Ends
Waterfront
The event of the day on the As
toria waterfront, yesterday, was the
arrival in this port of the steamship
Rose City, the new member of the
San Francisco-Portland Steamship
Company's fleet of vessels, on her
maiden trip over the route. 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.

mouth, this morning, after quite a
long spell of anchorage in this port
The oil steamer Argyle came down
from Portland at midnight on Sun
day and went to sea and San Fran
cisco early yesterday morning.
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

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.
