COAL SITUATION IN
ASTORIA
WHAT IS PROMISED THIS
PORT AND MARKET BY A
COLUMBIA VALLEY CON
CERN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
J. C Lee, representing the Cardiff
Coal & Coke Company, of Portland,
was in the city yesterday, closing ne
gotiations with Charles H. Callender,
of the Callender Navigation Com
pany (one of the heaviest local stock
holders of the concern), for the future
handling of the output of the com
pany's mines in the Astoria market
Mr. Lee financed the present com
pany, and it is solidly and squarely
on its feet; and in the Northwest
market for keeps. It has an unlimit
ed supply of good lignite coal at its
' mines at Cardiff, Washington, and
proposes to put it out at $5.00 per
ton everywhere it can reach within
certain traffic margins, and Astoria
is in that radius. Three hundred tons
will be barged to the Callender docks
within the next 10 days and the pro
duct will become a staple on this
mart at once.
It is not the best coal in the world
and Mr. Lee claims nothing for it
but the simple fact that it is as good
as the general run of Australian coal
marketed here, and will give the con
sumer one ton in five advantage over
the Antipodean product in the time
it takes to reduce the coal to ash.
There has been over $200,000 already
"spent in the development of the
property and there are half a mil
lion tons blocked out and in view as
the veins run today; and a measur
able portion of this output will be
sent to the depot here as the de
mand for it 13 created.
On next Sunday morning an ex
cursion party will leave this city for
the mines and the whole thing will
be thrown open for inspection, and
report by whomsoever wants to make
one as to the exact status of things
up there. If -all that is claimed for
the project materializes it will prove,
an important feature in the industrial
and commercial energies of the lower
Columbia Valley.

ASTORIA ROSE FES
TIVAL FLOAT
CHAIRMAN C. W. LAMAR BACK
FROM PORTLAND AND IS
EAGER TO PUT ASTORIA TO
FOREFRONT OF PORTLAND'S
BIG DISPLAY.
C W, Lamar, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce's special com
mittee on the negotiation and display
of the Astoria float that is to figure
in the great night parade of the
Portland Rose Carnival, on June 2nd,
next, is home from Portland, where
he met and conferred with the officers
in charge of that great summer at
traction, notably, President Whitmore
and Manager George L. Hutchins and
others, by whom he was treated with
marked courtesy and consideration
during his stay at the metropolis.
Mr. Lamar says that without doubt
the affair is to excel anything ever
given on this coast in its particular
line, transcending even the superb
floral festivals of Los Angeles; and
he is more than ever convinced of
the great need, for Astoria's proper
and co-ordinate representative in the
gala celebration; to this end he and
his colleagues, Messrs. Barr and
Ward, will meet today to begin the
campaign in this behalf. At this meet
ing there will be presented and dis
cussed a model of a float that has
been quietly devised for Astoria, the
plan of which is to arrive here .this
morning. The design is very beauti
ful and appropriate and will be sub
mitted for popular approval as soon
as the details are perfected and the
plan and program are reported and
and confirmed by, the Chamber of
Commerce.
The main feature of the Rose Festi
val parade is its night presentation
with electrical effects and other bril
liant appenages; each float (of which
Portland alone will have 24), being
attended by six stalwart and brilliant
ly uniformed men, one at the head of
each horse, every horse being splen
didly accourted and robed; and six
torch-bearers will attend each float
with ascetyline reflectors, thus height
ening the general illuminating effects
to a point of real magnificence.
The costliest float among the offer
ings of Portland will stand its out
fitters an even $2000, and the Astoria
contribution is estimated to at least
$600, while an additional $400 will
be asked to carry the thing to a per
fect conclusion. Gold and silver leaf
are to figure lavishly in the decora
tive details of the beauty wagons,
and everything that can add lustre
and charm by way of metal and cloth
will be used to the point of artistic
completion throughout. The floats
will all be of the most substantial
construction and nothing will be over
looked that will make for the safety
of the people who are destined to
grace them.
So far the following cities of Ore
gon have been listed at Portland
(and Chairman Lamar proudly as
serts that Astoria is to rival the
best thing in floats that shall hail
from any of them), Hood River, The
Dalles, McMinnville, Salem, Eugene,
Ashland, Baker City, Coos Bay; and
little old Seaside, with Dan Moore at
her back is in line; while swarms of
others are among the certainties.
Taken altogether Mr. Lamar's trip
to Portland has done much to put
him and his committeemen in fine
fettle for the task that awaits them,
and they may be trusted to carry the
thing to the last limit of equipment
and admirable display; it is only a
matter of time and money and As
toria may be safely calculated on to
use the one to the best advantage and
to raise the other in such sum as shall
put her on the winning line.

To Enforce Mandate
Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy yesterday
went to FortStcvens to enforce the
terms of the mandate in divorce re
cently obtained by Mrs. Gates as
against her husband, the hospital
steward at that post. The decree
called for the delivery of the baby
boy of the couple to the wife, as
well as the furniture heretofore used
in the home. The officer fulfiled the
order of court to the letter and the
child is now with its mother, and the
furniture soon will be in her hands.
INTOXICATED.
Not long ago I asked a young man
how he was getting along, and he
said: "I am just intoxicated' with
work. I cannot get enough of it. I
just ache every morning to get
to my task, and I leave it with the
same regret at night that the Wn art
ist lays down his brush when the twi
light cuts him off."
There is no need of anxiety about
the future of a young man who faces
his work in this spirit.
