SVEA IN FROM THE BAY CITY
Aurelia Gets the Hard Shoulder from
the St Helens Lurline Back on
Run Today Odds and Ends Along
: the Docks.
The Alaska fleet from the Columbia
river, the American ships Henry Vil
lard, St Nicholas, and Berlin, are
Dractcially ready for the high seas
and the far north. The Berlin is in
the stream, and the Villard is at the
A. & C. docks gathering up the loose
. . i . . . t - f
ends and making things snug for the
voyage, while the St Nicholas is at
the Can docks taking on small stuff
and battening down her hatches; and
all will go over the bar tomorrow
sometime, if the weather or other un-
.forseen emergencies do not arise to
deter them. The St Nicholas will
take out with her the fine new 38-foot
launch "Success," launched last Satur
day from the yards of Charles Wilson
and which will be used as a cannery
tender and despatch boat by Super
intendent 0. L. Belland during the
northern season. The St. Nicholas
will leave the dock direct for sea and
; will have 90 white people on board,
including Mrs. Captain Antonson and
Mrs. L. O. Belland; 45 Japanese, and
' 57 Chinamen, 192 in all.
That Captain Frye, of the Berlin
had been supplanted by any other
master, as has been reported on the
streets and in the press, is due to
that old sailor's relish for a joke. He
goes north as the master of the Ber
lin, alright. And he isn't carrying
any carrier-pigeons, either; that was
another of his freaky jokes, with
small substance to it in the shape of
a coop of shanghaied doves from the
Portland docks. But it made a de
cent story all the same.
The Villard will take the stream
this morning at 9 o'clock, and" drop
down to Flavel, from whence she will
take bar despatch the first possible
. moment tomorrow, or later if neces
sary. Her tender, the NoVth Star,
with Superintendent Berglund and
others on board, will leave out some-

A PRE-PRIMARY VISIT.
Geo. S. Shepherd, Candidate
For
Congress, in the City.
Geo. S. Shepherd, the well known
Portland attorney and candidate for
Congressional honors from the Sec
ond District of Oregon, was in the
city yesterday on his last visit before
the coming primaries and seems to
be cheerful over his prospects. In
conversation with an Astorian report
er, later vesterday afternoon, Mr.
Shepherd said, in part:
"I am finding encouragement in my
campaign far beyond my most san-
euine expectations. In Eastern Ore
gon I found the people were greatly
interested in the improvement of the
Columbia river bar and seemed to
especially associate me with that work
as I am making a campaign on this
issue. I have received many letters
from that section and they are very
encouraging. The people of the west
ern end of the district have not had :
Congressman for 24 years and as all
appropriations originate in the Lower
House they feel the necessity of hav
ing a Congressman at this time. If
we delay deepening the water on the
har the North Bank Raifroad will
build down the other side of the Co
lumbia and ship their freight from
Puget Sound. With 44 feet of water
on the bar all this' trade will be ship.
tied from here. I feel with my fa
miliarity with river conditions can
accomplish more for the people of
this district than a representative
from Eastern Oregon."

upon it, especially those of them who
are merchants so that they may see
any possible work that can further
