bottle of beer, B, F. Smith, a ttrangcr
in the city, who was working in one

wa taking it to a customer. He is
being held a a witness until today

Bill No. 33
F.arly yesterday morning there were
thousands of cards distributed all
over the city, announcing that Bill
No. 332 as the wheel owners bill and
asking the voter to defeat it. The
plan was a low trick on the part of
the up-river men who are fighting to
monopolize the fishing industry. The
card was intended to confuse the
voter, a Bill No. 332 is the measure
taken by the Columbia River Salmon
Protective Association.
Died At St Mary's
Captain Thomas Neil, who for the
last few year has been forced to re
tire from the sea-faring life owing to
ill health, died at the St. Mary's hos
pital yesterday from a complication
of diseases. He was 52 years of age a
native of Massachusetts, and came to
Astoria about 30 years igo in the

On "Battleship Day" there wa a
slick piece of pocket-picking done at
tfic A. & C, depot in this city, and the
thief got away with the plunder; at

called to fix the water-cheat in the
toilet room, at the station which wa
balking, and the plumber found that
the difficulty was caused by a fine
pockctbook jammed in the valve,
which elucidates the mystery and ac
count for the disposition made of
the plunder by the adroit thief.
John R. Richardson
John U, Richardson, age about 34
who died last Saturday at the home
of his mother at Amity (Yamhill Co,)
Oregon, was formerly a resident of
Astoria, being at one time employed
by the O. R, & N. and later with the
Prael-F.igncr Co, About two year
ago he received an attack1 of typhoid
fever, which developed recently into
dropsy resulting in his death. The de
ceased leave a large number of
friends and acquaintances in Astoria
which will greatly mourn his death.
He was a young man of good habits,
and of a pleasing appearance, making
friends rapidly.
Logger Injured-
While at work at the camp of the
Oregon Timber & Lumber Co., Otto
Hanson, a rigging rustler, was se
verely injured yesterday. He was hur
ried, to the hospital for treatment.
An examination by Dr. Henderson
showed him to be badly bruised, but
no bones broken, and is not danger
ously hurt tiulcss he has received in
ternal injuries which cannot be posi
tively determined. for several days.
He was struck in the chest by a large
log and which threw him several feet.
lie was unconscious for some time
after.
Tentative Agreement-
It was learned yesterday that there
is a tentative agreement as between
the Clatsop county authorities and
the Astoria school board, that in the
event of the passage of the County
High School law at the polls yester
day, for the time being, at least, the
tuition in this field coming to the
pupil will be furnished at the Astoria
High School, which plan, if carried
out successfully, will obviate the
necessity for large expenditures for
buildings and extra teachers, until
such time as the county is better pre
pared to provide them.
Fine Motor Trip
The Brothers Sncll, of this city, are
devoted to the pleasures of motoring
in their smashing little craft, the
"Tourist," in which they had a nar
row squeak of it on the Columbia bar
on Battleship Day, May 20th; and
that untoward event docs not deter
them in the least from other and
further ventures, is proven by the log
of the "Tourist" on her last trip. She
left this city on Friday night last, for
Portland, spent Saturday there, and
returned home on Sunday evening,
after a delightful and successful run
on the two rivers which was immense
ly enjoyed by the whole crew, to-wit:
J. D. Sncll, captain; Sig Owen, pilot;
A. V. Snell, engineer; Will Wilson,
mate; Karl Osmundson, steward; and
Leonard Owen, cook.
Whistle Nuisances-
There is a steadily growing com
plaint of the unnecessary steam
whistling done on the Astoria water
front. And it is directed to the
steamers that repeat their pilot calls
over and over again, coming in from
sea, and down the river, and espec
ially at night, when the sick, the
tired, the nervous, are imposed upon
by the needless calls that go crack
ing through all the walls of the city
to the discomfort of those whose rest
is the price of their health or their
recovery from illness. There is not
a pilot on duty in this city, for either
sea or river service that needs to be
called so persistantly; every one of
them knows when his ship is due and
is on the qui vive for her, or has ar
ranged to be called when she arrives
in or down,' And unless there is an
abatement of it, some steps are going
to be taken that will reduce the
nuisance' by law.
The Mystery Deepens
The sail boat bearing the name
"Irene, of San Francisco", which was
picked up by Captain Evanson, of
the Tongue Point launch Lester, on
Saturday evening, turns out to have
belonged to the schooner Irene, now
loading lumber at Knappton, and had
been taken for use by the first mate
of that vessel (whose name cannot yet
be ascertained) and who, with the
young son of Forerrtan Elbon, of the
Columbia mills at that place, came
over to this city, to do some trading,
and who have not been heard of since,
The unhappy conclusion being that
the craft was struck by a squall on
the return trip to Knappton, and both
lives sacrificed. The father of the
lad, and Captain Mitchell, of the
Irene arc moving every agency to de
termine the exact conditions, but are
almost hopeless of any other issue
than the one suggested above. Upon
its face the story tells of two more
fatalities in the bay, and there is noth
ing, as yet, to qualify or mitigate, the
dread certainty of it.
"The Widow. Mite"
Kx-Senator Gcarin, while in this
city, the other day, told a bevy of
friends a little story of sheer gene
roMty on the part of a modern woman,
a widow, that will stand for publica
tion, if only to accentuate its rarity in
these days of universal grab and
graft. His legal firm represented the
estate of a certain gentleman well
known in Oregon, which was ap
praised at the sum of $100,000 or
more. Having died intestate, the
widow became sole and absolute le
gate undr the code of the state, and
Mr. Gearin so informed her and ask
ed for instruction in the matter of
proceeding to secure the whole estate
to his client. He was quietly, but
frankly, told by the lady that her
late husband had three brothers in
the East of whom he waa very proud;
that they were hard-working men, of
families, and fine character; that had
her husband lived longer and done as
he had always intimated he would
do, these three brothers would have
been handsomely provided for; and as
the sole and faithful representative of
that husband, she proposed to see to
it that his brothers were made bene
ficiaries in the case, and ordered him
to divide the property into four equal
shares and see that each brother was
secured in his share along with what
came to her. This tale will bear re
telling. PERSONAL MENTION

TRAWLINGASUCCESS
. OFF ASTORIA
SCHOONER EVIE RETURNS
FROM INITIAL TRIP WITH
4000 POUNDS OF MARKET
ABLE PROVENDER-WILL GO
OUT AGAIN NEXT WEEK.
The re-inforccd schooner Evie, of
the Elmore fleet, and under charter
for deep-sea trawling off the Colum
bia bar, returning to port yesterday
morning, from her first quest, and
had 4000 pounds of marketable fish to
her credit. Captain Hirsch is in com
mand, and the handling of the beam-
less trawl, a successful, patented de
vice, is directed by one of its owners,
Mr. Obee. All concerned are very
much pleased with the venture and
the work will be prosecuted steadily
and vigorously during the summer.
The log of the Evie for the trip
shows that two hauls were made with
the great net and that 9000 pounds of
live matter was taken from the sea,
a great portion of it being unuseable
for market and returned "whence it
came!." the available fish boxed and
shipped to Portland on the steamer
Elmore last night, and the balance
going to storage at once. The mar
ket catch was made up of black and
ling cod, halibut, hake, red-snapper,
English sole, with four varieties of
flounder, and 100 pounds of crabs as
seasoning.
The first haul was made after a
trawl of one hour and three-quarters
and the second after a three hour run,
and are counted as indicative of the
sureness of the business, all things
considered, especially the imperfec
tions of equipment and the newness
of the work in these waters with this
gear. A good many curious things
weer brought to the surface and a
number of them will be given over fro
exhibition purposes, and went for
ward with the Portland shipment. The
work is arduous, and at times dan
gerous, but this will be tnimified as
rapidly as conveniences can be ap
plied and adequate gear brought into I
play. The voyage ended with a profit
that augurs well for its continuance
and an incentive to put it on a bet
ter and bigger basis; a consummation
that is already provided for and will
be effective early next week.
It is the purpose of the projectors
to put the business on a footing that
will ensure larger catches at least
three times a day. The bcamless nets
and brackets proved a genuine suc
cess and there is nothing to prevent
its 'constant repetition. The refuse
matter which has to go back to the
depths consists of shells , star-fish,
monks, skates and jelly-fish and
other inedibles, not forgetting an oc
casional shark or two, all of which
contributes to the measure of getting
the haul on board but nothing to the
market profit of the enterprise.
The first trip of the Evie in this
behalf goes to the record as entire
ly satisfactory to the men whose
money, property and skill are involv
ed and that means a good deal when
it is figured to what lengths the in
dustry may be carried.
The utter absence of salmon from
the hauls made by the Evie are ac
counted for on the very practical
score that the first work was done
beyond the range of the salmon run
outside.
HERE'S THE PROOF.
But Besides Catarrh, Hyomei Cures
Grip, Coughs and Colds,
Croup and Asthma
Read, if You Are a Sufferer From
Catarrh, Reason and Reflect
"My wife and I will swear that
Hyomei cured me of the worst case
of catarrh that ever existed. I used
to cough constantly at night, and had
a dropping in the throat, which kept
me awake a great deal. I raised
thick phlegm, and was in a horrible
condition. However, I am entirely
cured solely through the use of
Hyomei."
Dr. Philip Z. Hart, Laconia, N. H.
Reader, this is one of thousands of
testimonials praising the marvelous
curative power of Hyomei. If you
are a sufferer, why not try it? T. F.
Laurin guarantees it, and will re
fund your money if it fails to cure.
Hyomei is not a stomach nostrum;
it is dry antiseptic and medicated air,
and all you have to do to cure any
disease of the nose, throat or lungs,
is to breathe it in through the
Hyomei inhaler. A Hyomei outfit,
including a scientific inhaler, only
costs $1.00. Get one today. Sub
sequent treatment is only 50 cents a
bottle., Get one now. T.. F Laurin
takes all the risk. He guarantees it.
