COMMERCIAL BODY MEETING PORT OF ASTORIA COMMITTEE INSTRUCTED TO EMPLOY AN ATTORNEY TO DRAFT THE BILL-ROUTINE BUSINESS- SMALL ATTENDANCE. HIGH GRADE GROCERIES S21 COMMERCIAL STREET BAR, BAY AND RIVER YESTERDAY OLD FAVORITE, "STATE OF CALIFORNIA," AGAIN ON RIVER RUN SPENCER TAKES A FLYER DOWN THIS WAY- COMINGS AND GOINGS OVER THE BAR-NOTES ON DOCKS. The swift steamer Charles R. Spencer came down the river yester day, on the first run of her promised tri-weekly service between this port and Portland. She came in about 1 .30 p. m. and made a short swing to reach the Callender dock, and did some fancy rolling and pitching before she tied up. She had but few passengers aboard this trip, but she made this run on the old Telegraph schedule and Captain Spencer says he will knock that off the river before he is through with the summer traffic. It is said the appearance of the Spencer on this end of the river is liable to create a rate war between here and the metropolis as the Bailey Gatzert is to swing down here on off days and do what she can to capture the lead in the business. The Spencer makes this port on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until further orders. She is a handsome and comfortable boat and thoroughly well handled. The steamer Sue H. Elmore is to return to her Astoria-Tillamook run cutting out the Portland headquarters and resuming her old home docking here. Everyone knew when she was transferred to the other end of the Columbia's commercial string, it would not, in the least, affect the un certainty of her movements out of this port, nor aid in anyway to ex pedite the service she is rendering. She goes over the Columbia bar as often and as regularly as the condi tions of sea and weather permit, no matter where she sarts from, and she has the quicker despatch from here, if that is possible, take place on or about the 20th inst The Portland-Asiatic liner N'ieo Tk. ,:n I .... u""'t I media is due down this morning, cargoed for the Orient, and will leave out at once, if all thinirs are fair. i lie line old state ot California, one of the best known of the passenger!

Hiere is n marked difference In Btat- 'ire and temperament between the peo ple of north Italy and those of south Italy. The reason Is becaiiKe, while politically one, they are racially sepa rate peoples. The Longoburdx, or Lom bards, who about 5(:8 took possesion of northern Italy and permanently es tablished themselves In the rich valley watered by the Po and its affluents, were of Teutonic stock, their original home having been the region on the left bank of the Ellbe, round about Magdeburg and Lunoburg, Germany, while the Italians south of Lombardy are of the old Latin stock. This, fact explains the physical and other differ ences between the people from the north and the people from the south of Italy. Washington, with which we have been in correspondence since March 4th, arrived in the city on Friday and made arrangements such that during this summer a thorough test will he made of the stumps of fir and spruce as to what may be taken from them in l the way of commercial bi-products. Throughout the Southern States and in many of thc timber states of the North near the great lakes busi ness of splendidly paying proportions has been built up by men who ex tract in retorts thc bi-products of stumps, such as turpentine, creosote and resin, and afterwards turning thc woody residue into charcoal and pa per pulp. Formerly in sections of the country where stumps were thus treated the price of the stumps utiliz ed was very low. Now it is not un common in such localities for thc price of stumps to be anywhere from $3 to $6 per thousand. Thc price is so excessive that some of the bi product people have been forced out of liusiness. The plan is to have the expert scientists of the agricultural depart ment determine exactly what products can be extracted from fir and spruce stumps of this section, no such tests ever having been made. Should these tests show products of a valuable na ture as will most likely be the case, then it is proposed to invite the at tention of all thc stump bi-product people in the United States to the proposition of locating in this section where they can get stumps free of COFFEE You are both judge and, jury for Schilling's Best.

Her boilers are unfit for use and must be replaced before it is safe to again put the dredge in commission. If serviceable now, it is believed she could do very effective work upon the bar crest, as the as sistance which the dredge could give would greatly aid the consecrated tidal current in roardening and deep ening the channel now in process of formation. As stated above, however, the dredge can not be safely commii- (Continued on page 7) NEW TO-DAY The Palace Restaurant The ever-increasing popularity of the Palace Restaurant is evidence of the good management, and the serv ice, at this popular dining room.

The Dredge Chinook. As far back as January 22nd of this year the Chamber took up with Sen ator Fulton the proposition of secur ing an appropriation for the repair ing of the Dredge Chinook so that it might be put to work on the bar in the mouth of the river. At that time the senator believes that it would be impossible to secure an appropriation because there would not be any rivers and harbors bill this session and he thought that such an appropriation would have to be made in connection with that bill. However, the senator at the request of this organization made on April 30 has now taken up the matter of securing thc needed ap propriation by means of an amend ment to the Sundry Civial bill, the amendment carrying with it an ap propriation of $100,000. Senator Ful ton ha9 had a conference with the Chief of Fngincers on the matter and it seems to be rather likely that we will yet be able to put the Chinook into commission before the lapse of the present summer, Senator Fulton is to be commended for the able man ner in which he has handled this im portant proposition.
