A report states that until the con stitutionality of the amendment, re cently voted upon by the people, au thorizing the sale of $500,000 worth of bonds by the Port of Portland for buying tugs and other equipment for taking care of the towage service on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers has been determined the organization will make no attempt to exercise its increased powers. ; The commission intends to induce some one to bring a suit "in the Circuit Court to test the validity of the act.; When that has been done preparations will be made for looking after the towage and pilotage service between the sea and Portland. At the regular meeting ing of the board the action of the committee in appointing J.. B. C. Lockwood as an engineer, and super intendent for the Port of Portland was confirmed. His salary was fixed at $400 a year, the term of service beeinning with June 1. A report filed by Mr. Lockwood showed that the dredge "Columbia earned ' approxi mately $650 a day above all expenses during the time she was employed at the North Bank .; bridge near St. John. Her previous . earning capacity had been in the neighborhood of $300 a day. She made an increased reve nue at the bridge because she was paid for what she accomplished and hot merely for the time that was put in there. A "message from Marshfield says the steamer Breakwater completed "the run from Portland to the Coos Bav metropolis recently in 22 hours and 16 minutes breaking all previous records. Captain Macgeen announc ed his intention of trying to lower the should the weather conditions be favorable. He also said that he planned to make a quick return trip. From 24 to 25 hours is considered a smart passage to Marshfield. The schooner King Cyrus cleared vpterdav with lumber from Goble for San Francisco, carrying 800,000 feet.

She goes to Redondo. The steamer Alliance goes out to Coos Bay at 7 o'clock this morning. One of the greatest events in the nation's history is the commemora tion of the valor and "deeds" of our forefathers, generally observed in every city and hamlet, and one which soulo appeal to every true American citizen, whether native or foreign born, and that is the anniversary of American Independence. the fourth of July. The committee in charge of the celebration in Astoria appeals" to every patriotic citizen to lend their aid in making this day, one of the grandest in the city. To this end, the cordial co-operation and assist ance of every fraternal organization, every labor union, every civic society, every business man, and the public in general is essential to its success, Jf fraternal, civic societies or labor unions cannot turn out as an organ ization, the individual members can and" thereby make the parade on that day the principle feature of the occa sion. In order to stimulate interest in the celebration, the committee have decided to offer the following prizes: For the best representative float, first prize, $25.00 ; 2nd prize, $15; 3rd prize, $10. r i i : For the best decorated automobile, $15; second best, $10. '.. v v It ought not to be necessary to ap peal to American citizens to assist by their presence and influence, for Americans are noted for their patriot ism. The boys and girls of today will soon take the place of the fath ers and mothers, who will soon step upon the world's field of action to uphold and direct our commonwealth, and if for no other reason, than to in still into the risine generation the principles of patriotism, love of home and country, the young men who will be the future defenders of this coun try and its flag, ought to be sufficient to induce all people on the lower Co lumbia.to give their support to the proper observance of this day. xour committee' have confidence in the pa triotism of the people of Astoria and believe they will lend their best ef forts to make the Fourth of July in Astoria one of the grandest events in its history.

This case was tried at the last term of court, hut the jury disagreed. By arrangement between the counsel it was agreed to call the Wilberg case now, though it is the equity term. .While it is somewhat unusual to cali a '.crminal case at an equity term it is occasionally done by consent of counsel or for reasons that are deemel sufficient by the court. The Wilberg case is more or less of a cause' celebre and probably will be remembered by most Astorians. A young man by the name of Harri son, a drug clerk, in Portland, was sent to the bank one day by his em ployers with $500. but instead of mak ing the deposit Harrison started on the pace that kills and finally landed in Astoria, with still a goodly prtion of the stolen $500 in his pocket. Here he hit the high places and ended up by himself being robbed. Young Wilberg was arrested on the charge of being the thief who stole from the first thief. The fact that a considerable amount of money, said to have been virtually identical with the sum stolen from the Portland man, was found in the possession of Wilberg was taken by some as a cir cumstance that pointed to his guilt. But his counsel put up a spirited de fense and the jury divided in their opinion. VVilDerg is spccincany ac cused of having taken a $100 bill. Henry. Blunk, who gained, unsavory notorietv in the alleged seduction and kidnapping case at Seaside, will also be arraigned. But unless he choses to plead guilty his trial will go over until next term. Robert Casey will also bej arraigned on a charge of rape. Two Chinamen charged with assault with a deadly weapon will also be arraigned. The civil docket, however, is a comparatively heavy one, with over one hundred cases to be called. Judge McBride will be here tomorrow and the court will probable settle down to business by Tuesday morning. ASTORIAN'S GREAT SUB SCRIPTION CONTEST CLOSES TUESDAY, JUNE 16 AT 10 P. M.

An interesting and timely article on the question of the proposed sea wall for Astoria has been received from Judge Taylor. The Astorian is glad to publish it, as follows: "Editor Astorian: Permit me to record my dissent from statements recently appearing in your columns to the effect that a sea-wall is great ly needed here, and would be of great practical value to the city. I am un able to understand of what practical value to the city a sea-wall would be, at the present time. If there was no ground in the city that could be built upon excepting that covered by the water a sea-wall might be needed; but there is ample room in the city, east of First street, west of Eigh teenth street and north of Franklin avenue, upon which business houses could be built and good streets main tained, upon good ground, and those lots could be purchased and improv ed at much less cost than the cost of purchasing lots, building sea-walls, filling and improving lots over where the water now ebbs and flows. Why people have insisted on building out over the water, instead of upon good ground, "is difficult to understand. "With so much available and un improved ground in the 1 l " i Yes!
