Needless Worry-
Owing to the stupidity of some
body over Tillamook-way, who, in
answer to a telephonic inquiry from
this city yesterday morning a to the
whereabout of the motor schooner
Delia, replied that "she had sailed
from there on last Sunday morning,
in! that no more wa known of her
there," there was some real uneasi
ness about the vessel and her people
here, and for a time it wa a mooted
question if it were not the better
policy to have a revenue cutter de
spatched to look for her. For four
hour from Tillamook and four days
from theer are wo very different
stories and require adjudication of
sonic sort in lively fashion. But at
noon all solicitude was banished by
the announcement that the Delia was
safely in the lower harbor and an
hour later she was at her berth at the
O. R. & N. She had been in Tilla
mook Bay ever since Sunday, and left
there yesterday morning at 5 o'clock.
More Deep-Sea Work-
Mr. Obee, the gentleman who is
sponsoring the deep-sea trawling out
of this port and who, so far, has been
notably successful with the Evie, will,
while waiting for that vessel to be
equipped with additional appurte
nances, leave out on the Gerald C.
today, and as she returns from Til
lamook light, set his lighter trawling
gear for several hauls, and expects
to make it even better than he did
on the Evie. He is not worrying
over the details of the fish-market
scrap that the Kopecks of Seattle arc
waging against the Portland deal
ers, lie is testing out ni gear in
these waters and establishing busi
ness precedent that may mean very
much for Astoria at an early day.
The people of Portland are weary of
eating the stale fish furnished them
from the Sound and San Francisco,
and if this trick of fishing can be
made to pay here, it will set up a
revolution at the metropolis, where
even the dread and dislike of Astoria
may not prevail against her supplying
that field with fresh fish daily and
even more frequently.
PERSONAL MENTION

land where he has been helping to

KONG ROANOKE SAILS THIS
MORNING EUREKA IN FROM
EUREKA -YEDDO OFF FOR
AUSTRALIA-COLUMBIA BAR
SURVEY FOR 1908.
The Portland-Asiatic liner Numan-
tia entered port yesterday morning
after an uneventful trip across the
Pacific. She has a big load of gener
al merchandise. She has been here
several hours waiting for Captain
Archie Pease to meet her and pilot
her up the river. He arrived down,
on the night train and the ship will
start up this morning. It is quite in
order for the Portland papers to do
their usual stunt about the "wretched
delays these vessels meet with down
at Astoria."
The schooner H. K. Hall, one of
the rare five-masters on this coast, is
now 18 days out from San Diego, and
still buckine head-winds toward this
port. This, in contra-distinction to
the news just received from the south
that the schoners Virginia and Min-
dora made it hence to San Francisco
and San Pedro in three, and six days,
respectively.
The Arago will, as soon, and as
fastas bar conditions permit, prose
cute the annual surveyof that barrier
for the service of the federal engi
neers department, and the work will
be done under the superintendency of
Col. S. W. Roessler and his chief aid
at the jetties, Mr. Bagnall.
Captain Bailey, of the bar tug Ta
toosh, has been entirely cleared of the
charge of extortion brought against
him at Portland by Captain Olsen, of
the steamer Aliance.

nar and will leave out for California

dock.

down the river at an early hour yes
terday morning and went to sea and
Coos Bay at 5 a. m.
The cargo of the "pup" motor Delia

sisted of 600 cases of cheese, valued
at $5000.
The fine schooner Irene has clear
ed from Knappton with nearly a mil
lion feet of lumber, for San Diego,
and will sail today, if possible.
The steamer Eureka arrived in last
evening from the port of that name
this city, a chairman of the Bu.incs
Men's Committee of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce, has received
official returns from the following
counties in answer to the direct trie
gram sent out by him to every clerk
in the state asking for an explicit
statement in behalf of both bills.
An analysis of the following table
will show plainly the Orcgonian's
specn and prejudice, as plainly a its
editorials have shown all along the
campaign, against the main and sav
ing issue of the fish controversy, be
cause it happened to originate at the
Astoria end of the river; and it wiB
Bhow also that the vote for the hon
est measure for the elimination of
the deadly fish-wheel, is, in the few
counties named, so large that the bal
ance of the unreported counties can
not disturb it materially, because the
rotes of those counties is not large
enough to counteract the rcMilt here

No Need of Suffering From Rheuma
tism. It is a mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic as the pain can
always be relieved and in most cases
a cure effected by applying Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. The relief from
pain which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost It makes sleep
and rest possible. Even in cases of
long standing this liniment should be
used on account of the relief which it
affords. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale
by Frank Hart and leading druggists.
Sore Nipples.
Any mother who has had exper
ience with this distressing ailment will
be pleased to know that a cure may
be effected by applying Chamberlain
Salve as soon as the child is done
nursing. Wipe it off with a soft cloth
before allowing the babe to nurse.
Many trained nurses use this salve
with best results. For sale by Frank
Hart and leading druggists.
