Battleship Illinois Came Closest

the public to know that the "Illinois"

she passed within 5600 yards of the
post as recorded by their instrument

beside several local suggestions of in- j

Drowned Man Discovered
Coroner Pohl received word yester
day that the body of a man was dis
covered in the river near Cathlamet,

prises, Three Jolly Sailors
Policeman Dcbcau discovered three
drunken sailors on the waterfront this

so much under the influence, that
Bebeatt found it necessary to have
the other two almost carry their
helpless comrade.
At The 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

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.

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.

Comity Republican Central Commit
tee, has filed his resignation of the
chairmanship, and the central com

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.

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.

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. Fulton; this being done
by way of extenuating the delay
caused by the filing of certain pro
tests made to the President by parties
uiiknown, but which upon examina
tion were found to be without sub
stance or official interest Mr. Mc
Gregor will assume charge of the
post at an early day.
Superintending Improvements

pass through under the trestles and
these matters cart better be attended
to by being on the ground. 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.
