visit San Francisco and uakiana

pany her as far as Portland this
morning.
That Trip to Bar
As an expedient and to avoid, com
plete disappointment, in the matter
of seeing the great war fleet on its
way into the waters of Puget Sound,
the proposition that one or more
steamers be chartered to take As-
torians out and over the Columbia
bar on the 9th or 10th of May, when
the splendid array is expected in this
latitude, is a very pleasurable one,
and meets the general desire cthe
public; all save as to the cost of the
trio. Five dollars seems to strike the
ordinary, hard-up citizen as just a bit
excessive, and while there would be
no lack of patrons at that figure, there
are many others, who' feel they must
abandon the idea and opportunity, at
that rate. Three dollars for the trip
and a lunch, seems about the accept
able limit.
Striving For Honors
Astorians are to be treated to an
other fine exhibition of literary and
forensic work on the part of her lead
ing young High School people and
their contestants from Baker City, in
an elaborate debate at the Astoria
theatre on Friday night next. The
Astoria team, composed of Miss
Birdie Wise, Carl Thomas and Miss
Jennie Jeffcrs, will be pitted against
Messrs. Frank McCulloch, William
Ilcrnsen and Ray Barton, the bright
trio sent down from Baker City, to
debate the question, "Resolved, That
visitor jn a strange town

the members o'f the Legislature of the
State of Oregon should be elected by
a system of proportional representa
tion." This is the second of the
scries of the Inter-State High School
debaters, the Astoria team having
won the first honor! from the Clat
skanic team some weeka ago. No
doubt there will be a fine attendance
on Friday! and the quality of the
youngsters engaged and the pith of
the issue surely warrant it.
New Business House
Duncan A. McLean, of this city, is
an over-Sunday visitor at his Astoria

yesterday Mr. McLean intimated that
on May 1st, next, he would associate
himself in business with two friends,
Messrs, Gray and Percy, of Portland,
and at 42 Front street in that metrop

cry tools, soda fountains, and sun

prospect for success. He will have
the abundant good will of his myriad
of friends in this city and county, if
that will do him any service. The
firm-style adopted for the new ven
ture is Gray, McLean & Percy. Mr.
Gray was once populaly known in

FORTY-DAY ELECTIONEERING
AHEAD AND THE ENEMY
STILL IN HIDING REPUBLI
CAN ALIGNMENT FIXED AND

There is,talways, the day aftcrl
And it is scarcely less interesting
than the day itself, or the day before
the day!
The day after is the day upon
which the real eventualities are deter
mined, for all they arc worth (0 the
men in interest and the public in in
terest, and bring the quotas of suc
cess and defeat and dubious doubt
ing! Politics is an anxiety-breeding pro
fession at best; and its masters are
no more immune than its neophytes;
the element of uncertainty is ever
present with its pleasant, tantalizing
tang, and would be sorely missed by
the old perennials as well as by the
eager novitiates.
Astoria has been busy for 24 hours
discoursing and discussing and ac
counting the problems left on her
hands by he primary-election that
inadvertently invaded the sanctity of
Good Friday. But solutions are few,
and most of them are discounted.
The returns are all in from the
28 precincts of Clatsop; but unhap
pily, some half-dozen of them filed no
extraneous record of the results, and
the certainties of the situation are
bound up in the sealed returns that
will not be disturbed until tomorrow
In most instances the divergencies
of the totals known to exist give pal
pable ground for conclusive estimates
and the nominations in those cases
are concerned. Among these are lo
cally, the following: J. C. McCue, for
Representative, with Messrs. .J. W.
Welch and C. A. Leinenweber so
closely met, as to require the official
count to settle their respective stand
ing; John Frye, for County Commis-
sioner, long term; and F. H. Moore,
same, for short term; J. C. Clintog,
for County Clerk; M. R. Pomeroy,
for Sheriff; T. S. Cornelius, for As
sessor; W. A. Sherman, for County
Treasurer; G. F. Parker, for County
Surveyor; J. A. Gilbaugh, for CorB-
ner; J. W. Branstrator, tor superin
tendent of county schools; P. J. Good
man, for Justice of the Peace, As
toria; and John Sayre, Constable, As
toria, each and all regularly chosen as
Republican nominees before the Clat
sop electorate on the first of June
next.
While the State vote is still quoted
as yielding Cake, of Portland, a heavy
lead on the federal senatorship. it is
quite within the probabilities that
the official vote will be required to
fix the issue. Final and authentic
counts have been known to reveal
radical and unexpected results;
tRough in this matter, it is conceded
the margin will be fractional if it
shall fall to the senior senator at alj.
Electioneering will begin in earnest
tomorrow; no man knows what the
enemy is about; and there has been a
startling surfeit of results from his
unanticipated antics in the larger af
fairs abroad during the past few days
that should put every Republican can
didate on his metal for the next 43
days of grace and invoke his keenest

A Bit of History-
Two years ago. Erick Mannulla, of
this city, was unfortunate in having
stolen from him a fine gold watch; a
time-piece of value and beauty, which
he had carried the better part of 40
years. The theft occurred at the old
Occidental cannery, which was then
being used as a receiving station for
fish, by the C. R. Pi A- for whom
Mannulla was working. The watch
bore his name deeply engraved in sev
eral places and was prized among, his
precious possessions. Yesterday,
while some workmen were excavat
ing on Irving avenue near Thirtieth
street, the fine old timekeeper rolled
out into view and was soon identified
asJMannulIa's, to whom it was re
turned at once and most gratefully
received. To cap the climax, the
happy owner, for the sake of doing
something and not that he expected
any results unless it were a snapping
break, began to wind the watch, and
to his astonishment it resumed its old
familiar tick, and at last accounts was
running along smoothly and with per"
feet time. -t c
