BON TON MILLINERY STORE GEORGIA PENNINGTON 483 Bond Street SEA, BAY AND RIVER Fine New Motor Life Boat for Cape Disappointment. CRUISER ST. LOUIS GOES BY F. S. Loop Finishing Cargo at Knapp- ton Donna Francisco In From Valparaiso Roanoke Out This Morning Notes. Simultaneously with the news of the raising of the wages of officers and men of the United States Life Saving Corps, to-wit: Keepers, from $900 per annum to $1,000; No. 2 surf men, from $65 per month to $70, and an additional ration, or $9 per month to the regular wages of the ordinary surfmen, which nets them $74 per month instead of $65, there has ar rived in this city from the life-saving station at South Chicago a fine motor lifeboat, which was skidded - from the cars on the A. & C. tracks at the Can dock by Captain Stuart and his men, from the Cape Disap pointment station and launched in the Columbia river yesterday even ing. The boat is beautifully con struct cf mahogany and cedar, and powerfully built, as becomes a craft in that service. She is equipped with a 24 horsepower, four-cylinder Holmes engine; is 34 feet in length and 7 feet beam, and weighs 12,000 pounds. The boat she displaces at the north shore station has not yet been assigned to a new station, but will be in a few days. Captain Stuart ami his men are much pleased with the new boat and will give her all the test that is coming to her. - A. E. Haw, who is now at the Uni ted Wireless station on Smith's Point testing the apparatus and getting things in final readiness for full ser vice, reported to this office last even ing that at 2 o'clock yesterday after noon the station picked up the Uni ted States cruiser St. Louis, then off the Columbia river bar, en route to the Bremerton navy yard, in Puget Sound, and she reported "all well" with her and making good time northward. Astoria is a pretty busy port her self, but she does not quite match New York on the steamship passen ger business, according to the latest figures at hand in regard to that kind in the year 1907, from 1,182 trips made by the hundreds of steamers routing in there, just 1,287,617 pas sengers, first class, second cabin and steerage; but Astoria is moving ahead, all the same. She refrains from quoting her totals in this behalf for specific reasons. lhe steamer sue n. lilmore is still in port, the bar forbidding her departure for Tillamook. She has a good load of freight and a number of passengers on board. She carries home the casket containing all that was mortal of H. E. Ross, the well known Tillamookian who, in a fit of despondency, took his own life at Portland early in the week, owing to an incurable malady, from which he had been a life-long sufferer. The Kamm steamed Undine arrived down about two hours behind her schedule last evening owing to some essential repairs made at Portland yesterday morning which held her ther euntil 10 o'clock. She went back last night with good business on both decks. The British bark Donna Francisco, Captain J. Simon on the bridge, crossed the bar yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock, 55 days out from Val paraiso, Chili, in ballast. She comes here unchartered and will lie at the Tongue until she gets orders. The Callender tug Melville leaves up this morning at 6 o'colck for Rain ier to bring down the schooner Al bert Myer, lumber laden for San Francisco, and will reach here to night. ine steamer r. s. Loop arrived down yesterday morning and went direct to the Columbia mill dock, where she will finish her lumber car go and leave for the Bay City. The steamer Breakwater went to sea and Coos Bay yesterday morning, with a good passenger list and Jots of freight, and will return on Sunday morning. The steamer Rose City will be down from Portland tomorrow morn ing very early, bound for San Fran cisco. She will leave out about 6 o'clock. The oil steamer Asuncion went up the river yesterday morning with her cargo of fuel oil, which will be dis charged at Portland. The steamship Roanoke will leave the Callender dock at 5 :30 o'clock this morning for her three California ports of call. The steamer Alliance is due in of service. The latter city received, from Coos Bay sometime today. The Store M Fjlfc.

The following pleasant letter, re ceived yesterday at this office from Mayor Herman Wise, now at Grant' Pass op a recuperative tour, indicates that his honor is' in good spirits and finding surcease from the thrall of the grip. He writes from that place under date of Wednesday: Grant's Pass, Or., March 25 "Agreeable to my promise, I will write a few lines to advise you that I am gradually getting stronger, though the southern sunshine seems always warmer when you are far away; upon my arrival here I found it had snowed some last night, and the atmosphere fs certainly chilly, Tomorrow I intend to go to Medford, from there to Ashland, and if doesn't get warmer by that time may have to go to that hot place not lined with asbestos. "I do not know but one may as wel stay at home where he can have that comfort and attention which can not be had for money; the only thing found annoyinsr at home was the awful charge made against me by a good friend of mine before I left he accused me of being responsible for the spell of quiet times, because I would not agree to a wide open town; hence, when I picked up last Sunday's Oregonian and read that there are over a million unemployed men in the country, a chill went through me and I dread the possibil ity of receiving a batch of complaints from the mayors of the affected cities and from all the prominent men who have heretofore borne the brunt of the worry; here are a few, as they might read: (Exhibit 1.) Mayor Wise, Astoria Oregon:, " 'On account of your closing dance halls over 100,000 men are out of em ployment in Philadelphia and the city had to bond itself for an additional nine million dollars for public im provements in order to furnish em ployment for the idle. Respectfully, '"Mayor of Philadelphia.'" (Exhibit II.) "'Hon. Herman Wise, Astoria, Oregon: '"The removal of Astoria's 150 machines has thrown 250,000 men out of employment in New York; unless you permit these machines to make the wage-earners rich we are ruined. . "'George B. McClcllan, '"Mayor."' . (Exhibit III.) " 'Herman Wise, Mayor, Astoria, Oregon: " "The New York Sun, E. H. Harri I man ana Kocxeteuer nave unjustly blamed the 1907 panic to my inter ference with their unselfish labors in behalf of the plain people, while as a matter of fact your actions in inter fering with the old established and well advertised industries which made Astoria famous and furnished the government with so much revenue are alone to blame for the closing of banks, the ruin of factories and the discharge of a million honest toilers. '"T. Roosevelt, President.'" Exhibit IV.) '"Mayor Herman Wise: President 'Roosevelt has placed the blame of the recent hard, times to us; at last the secret is out; when you closed dance halls and refused to allow slot machines to resume busi ness, Wall street became alarmed lest by your vicious example the Congress of the United -States might be induced to stop gambling in Wall street. Respectfully (and a few other things), Rockefeller, Morgan, Harriman.' " Exhibit V.) " 'Mr. Herman Wise, Mayor, Astoria: v You are an advocate of the abol- shment of fish wheels; dont you know that there will be no salmon if you stop fishwheels? The same as suckers' quit running when the rou lette wheels were stopped through the interference of a lot of busy- bodies. Wheels are right; let them run. If the salmon want to spawn in our wheels it is their look out, and if suckers want to nibble at any old wheel it's none of your business. Mayors should be pleasant and do nothing. Yours, '"Soofort, Wahrun Co.'" "These are only a few samples; what will happen when all the cities and prominent men find out that I'm the one who started the hard times; I dread to think about it. "I guess I'll have to disguise my self, take off my whiskers and 'travel incog. Otherwise Harriman will have me put off the S. P. train and I'll have to come home by aid of one of Marconi's aerograms or by wire less sausage. " "Hoping that this letter, won't drive you to drjnk, and with best wishes to all in your office, or better still, to every man, woman and child in old Astoria, the best place in this world for me. "Sincerely yours, "HERMAN WISE." ELKS' MINSTRELS. One of the strong features of the Elks' big show is the scenic and cos tume equipment.
