TEST SUIT WILL BE BROUGHT
TO TEST VALIDITY OF THE
PORT OF PORTLAND ACT
ODDS AND ENDS PICKED UP
YESTERDAY.
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.

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.

The first case -to be 'called, at the
term of the Circuit Court which com
mences tomorrow will be that of the
State of Oregon against Robert Wil
berg, the young Astorian who is ac
cused, of larceny. 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.

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

be more than useless unless the area
back of it was tilled, and the building
of a sea-wall and filling the ground
back of it would not bring one dollar
of revenue to the city that cannot be
obtained without the sea-wall, at the
present time. '
"Would it not be much beneficial I
to the city if the money which a sea- j
wall would cost, or even a portion
thereof, was used to encourage the
establishment of wholesale houses
and manufactories, the building of a
good hotel, of electric suburban
lines and the establishment of a
transportation line to Alaska?
