She came down to inspect St. Mary's Hospital and finding everything favorable and in perfect order went on to Portland that evening. Battleship Illinois Came Closest It will probably be of interest to the public to know that the "Illinois" of the great Atlantic fleet, came the closest to Ft. Stevens. Lieutenant Ke rfoot informs, the "Astorian" that she passed within 5600 yards of the post as recorded by their instrument for measuring distances. Voter Will Be Busy When the Clatsop voter enters the booth on the first of June next, his ballot will surprise him in the length and volumnc of it. It is in course of preparation by County Clerk Clinton now, and covers a host of personal and legal issues to be voted upon. In addition to the 19 amendments and referendum matters, there are plenty of names to consider and dispose of Chocolates the best in the world 50c a Pound, Scholfield ft Mattson Co. beside several local suggestions of in- j tercst. It will be one of the biggest tickets ever known in this county, Drowned Man Discovered Coroner Pohl received word yester day that the body of a man was dis covered in the river near Cathlamet, the corpse has been taken charge of ' by the coroner of Wahkiakum county, The body is possibly the same as the one seen o few (lays ago by a steamer just below Rainier. Secured New Mill Site S. Benson of the I'enson Logging Company, has secured a new mill site near Wcstport and in the very near future will erect a large plant for the making of lumber and will run it in conjunction with the concern's other milling and rafting plants, and enter prises, Three Jolly Sailors Policeman Dcbcau discovered three drunken sailors on the waterfront this morning and placed them in jail, after considerable trouble, as one was so much under the influence, that Bebeatt found it necessary to have the other two almost carry their helpless comrade. At The Police Court, Mayor Wise presided in police court yesterday, disposing of four char acters who were arrested for being under the influence of liquor. Lizzie Johnson was held under the charge of vagrancy,and was ordered to pay a $50 fine or leave the city. She will probably leave the city in preference to paying the fine. That Astoria Float Chairman Lamar has been advised of the completion of the Astoria car that is to figure in the great Rose Festival, but which is yet to be deco rated in detail; and it is said there will be none to surpass it in beauty and snggestivencss. The committee in charge of it will attend to its imme-, uiaic auornnicni ano win icavc huui ing to be desired when it shall figure in the famous parade on June 1st. Railway Extended Messrs. Mann & Montgomery, the well known loggers of Clifton, who have heretofore dumped their output into a slough back from the river some distance and floated the logs to the Columbia for milling purposes, have extended their logging railway clear to the river itself, crossing the line of the A. & C. at an elevation of 30 feet, and "landing" the logs in the waters of the Columbia; an appre ciable advantage over the old system and a great time-saver. Expects New Equipment Assistant' General Passenger Agent Ralph T. Jenkins returned to Portland yesctrday. He reports that he ex pects the new cars requisitioned for will be" here by the time the beach eason opens. Originally dining cars were asked for but he reports that the new equipment will probably con sist of buffet cars in which meats will be served and be a great convenience to the traveling public. The parlor cars will still continue to' be run as at present. Resigns Chairmanship Chairman W. F. McGregor, of the Comity Republican Central Commit tee, has filed his resignation of the chairmanship, and the central com mittee will meet tomorrow to act up on it, and to elect .his successor. The central committee goes to Seaside to morrow night, along with Hon. E. B. Tongue, the Republican nominee for the office of district attorney, and As sistant District Attorney John, C. Mc Cue, who will each deliver campaign addresses there and then. May Revise Enterprise . F. L. Evans, a well known capitalist and investor of Jacksonville, in this state, is in the city, looking over the lines and holdings of the Astoria- Seaside & Coast Electric Railway Co., with a view to taking them over and reviving the enterprise to a point to a point of utility and actual devel opment; which, it is cordially hoped, may prove of distinct benefit to him as well as to the communities con cerned, including the City of As toria, of course. s, Saw His "Whiskers" Superintendent John McGuire, of the A. & C, who came down from Portland on the company"s excursion train to the coast on Wednesday last, was seen yesterday morning, and he declares that the sight at Seaside, with the great fleet swinging up in the bight was one of the most inspir ing he ever witnessed. According to his text, he "saw Uncle's whiskers plainly and there were no gray hairs in them." John always was a bit poetic in his descriptions of events in which his railroad was interested, or his church. CP DfUf IPUTQ WIT I jftnllMlLlull 1 J I! ILL PLAY AT STEVENS IMPORTANT OPERATIONS TO TAKE PLACE THERE -TUGS ARE LEASED FROM O. R. & N. COMPANY. Searchlight practice- will begin down at Ft. Stevens in a day or two. Capt.. W. C. Davis, a searchlight ex pert from Ft. Monroe, is now there and will have charge of the opera tions. Two cars loaded with four port able searchlights arrived there yester day and these, with the four lights al ready there, will be used. The depart ment has chartered the tugs Tatoosh and Wallula from the O. R. & N. Co. and they will be used to represent a hostile fleet and the searchlight prac tice will be the same as would take place in actual warfare. About ten days will be spent in this work after which Capt. Davis will go to the Puget Sound, With eight searchlights playing down at the mouth of the riv er it will be a splendid sight for those who are fortunate enough to wit ness it. Establishment in Action The Union Meat Company's As toria depot, on the O. R. & N. Com pany's pier in this city opened up for general business yesterday. Manager Driscoll has put on a small delivery wagon, and despatched it from the plant yesterday on its first errand, to the Tongue Point mills. The meat is coming in daily at the rate of several tons per day and is of grea service to the local butchers. The office and de pot are kept in the pink of cleanli ness and good ventilation, and every thing is arranged for the quickest pos- dcspatch o he business jn all its details. Making Splendid Ranch- County Commissioner Larsen was in from the Lewis & Clark ranch yesterday and reports everything prosperous out there. He is busily engaged in making a model ranch out of the property recently purchased of W. E. Dement. He believes that a milk condensing plant would be a great thing for the dairymen of Clat sop county as they have been so suc cessful in other parts of Oregon and wherever established they always pay considerable more for milk than creameries do. Condensed milk is shipped into Astoria from Coos Bay by every steamer, when this is one of the greatest dairy countries on earth and should be shipping its products to every part of the country. Some of these days the dairymen will get wise and organize and build cream eries, condensing plants and cheese factories the same as they have so successfully done in other places.

Debate: Resolved, that the members of the Legislature of the State of Oregon should be elected by a system of proportional repre sentation. Affirmative, Birdie Wise, Carl Thomas,, Jennie Jeffers; nega tive, " ? ? ? ?.", Selections, Fanny Gregory, Abel Wright We Hasten To Correct The Arizona Republican, the lead ing daily of that State and of Phoenix, is mistaken when it makes the follow- ng claim, and the Astorian hastens to set it right because of the fact that this paper has been in possession of the first Mergenthaler typesetting ma chine ever sent west of the Rockies, for so long a time that it isnow no torious with the fraternity and entirely indisputable, to-wit: "When the No. machine was installed in The Re publican office there were none in use west of the Rocky Mountains, except in San Francisccwhere some of the larger papers had installed a few for a certain class of composition, and in Los Angeles where the Times was then experimenting in their use." One of the machines owned by the Morning Astorian has been in constant use here since its installation in 1892, and bears No. S78.

Annointment Confirmed- Word reached this city yesterday that the appointment of Hon. W. F. McGregor, as Collector of Customs of the Port of Astoria, has been con firmed and signed by President Roose velt, as of the date of the nominatiom of Mr. McGregor by United States Senator C W.

He is justly proud of the way his company handled the battleship excursions, and when it comes to moving big crowds and getting them through in splea did shape there's none of them that can beat Superintendent McGuire.
