It was reported last evening that a final effort will be made this morning to raise the Minnie E. Kelton. She is now lying on her beam ends and it is planned to put out a mushroom anchor for the purpoes of trying to right her. It is believed that once wrighted there ought not to be any nnsurmountable difficulty in the way of raising her. Captain Generaux of the Underwriters is in charge of the work. It was reported, however, from one source that it is intended to abandon the Kelton and offer her for sale to the highest bidder as she now lies in the sands. The steamer Roanoke arrived in last night from San Francisco about 7 o'clock with freight and passengers. Her officers reported a pleasant pas- saee. and some of the passengers ex pressed themselves as delighted with the smooth run up from San Fran cisco. It was expected that the Roan oke would have the machinery on board for developing the oil strikes across the river, but it did not come. The Vosberg ' arrived in yesterday from Nehalem. Her owner, Mr. Wheeler, was on board en route for Portland. The Roma, the oil tank steamer that was recently added to the Union Company's fleet, went down and out yesterday. The steamer Breakwater arrived in Sunday from Coos Bay with freight and passengers. The Rose CUy arrived in yesterday with freight and passengers.

Sunday last was lavish with good news from the far north, and in re gard to Astoria's peculiar and exten sive interest in it, by way of the ships and men. Telegraphic word came down from Superintendent Berglund, of the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company, that the ship Henry Vil- lard and the steamer North Star, were safely ensconsed in Nushagak Bay, with all well, and ready for fish ing. They arrived there on the 3rd of June, and the message came out via Seward. Superintendent L. ' 0. Belland, of the Columbia River Packers' Associa tion apprised his principals, in the same fashion, of the safe 'arrival of the ship St. Nicholas there, on May 17th, and that everything was in fine order, all hands hearty, his message being received in this city very late on Saturday night, by Samuel El more, chairman of the directorate of the Association. The presumption that the ship Ber lin is there with her sister ships is a safe one, and will soon be verified by reports to her owners up the river. Now all that is wanted is a suc cession of reports from the fleet at Bristol Bay that the fishing is the best ever, to be followed by the homing of the ships with the banner packs from the northern fisheries. morning for Tillamook Bay points, via Portland, and Sheridan.

Now that the time has about arriv ed when the community of Astoria is to decide on the seawall proposi tion and when communications on the subject are appearing in the newspapers, it might be well to re call a little of the history of this movement for the purpose of show ing what the people as a rule think upon the subject. A carefully prepared concensus, of opinion so far as one is able to get it, would seem to indicate that an overwhelming majority of the citi zens of Astoria are in favor of the seawall, if the proposition can be worked out on a practical basis, which seems altogether likely. On Friday, November 9th, G. B. Hegardt, the engineer at Portland, who formerly was employed on the jetty construction at Fort Stevens, addressed a number of the members of the Chamber of Commerce at a special meeting of that organization. Those present at this meeting were G. C. Fulton, F. J. Carney, F. L. Parker, Herman Wise, W. C. Logan, F. A. Filler, J. W Welch, G. C. Flavel, G. Wingate, Judge F. J. Taylor, B. Van Duscn, John Hahn, D. M. Stuart, J.. N. Griffin, F. N. Clark, J. M. Anderson, CW. Carna- han, J. E. Gratke, A. S. Tee, F. I. Dunbar, J T. Ross, Olof Anderson, James Finlayson, J. T. Wallace and J. II. Whyte. The Astorian's account of this meeting on the Saturday following read: "To say that those who were pres ent became enthusiastic over the subject would be putting the case very mildly indeed. "It was the most satisfactory meet ing I ever saw on this or any other subject in Astoria," said Brencm Van Dusen. , "It is so simple that I am' sur prised that everybody in Astoria did not think of it 50 years ago. I see now that anybody can be a great en gineer. I am in favor of doing this work as soon as possible, and I know of nothing now standing in the way but financial conditions which will presently be in shape," said G. C. Fulton. "These were only a few of the ex pressions that were heard on all sides during the meeting or after it was over. President Welch of the Cham ber of Commerce who has been an enthusiastic supporter of the seawall proposition for many years, said he was thoroughly in accord with Mr. Hegardt's plans and every one of them could most early be carried out. Mayor Wise said he thought that the great seawall proposition had now been started in the right direction and in a practical manner." A joint committee as a result of this meeting was afterwards named by the Chamber of Commerce and by Mayor Wise from the members of the City Council. They worked for some time on the subject and it was finally agreed that the City Council would provide for a sum of money sufficient to pay an at torney who would draw up the neces sary amendments to the charter so that they could be voted upon at the regular city election in December. This committee has been carefully at work with Dr. Logan as chairman and Attorney A. M. Smith and City Attorney Abercrombie in charge of the legal proceedings. While it is necessary that the mat ter should be fully discussed, yet it will be seen that the project is mov ing steadily forward in a most satis factory manner from the standpoint that the measures adequate for an election shall be prepared and sub mitted to the people. This is all that can be done in the premises. If the people want a sea wall they will have been shown' the ways and means of securing it. Engineer Hegardt said at the time of the Chamber of Commerce meet ing referred to that a reduction in street improvement expenses and a reduction in the insurance rate and the rise in value of property in case a term of years, probably 50 were granted during which the pay ments could be made, would not only provide the seawall at a low cost but conclusively show that the whole proposition would be an investment and not an added expense to the property holders. , ..A . THE ASTORIAN'S GREAT CON TEST WILL CLOSE TONIGHT1 AT 10 O'CLOCK. LIGHT SENTENCE FOR SEDUCER BLUNK SEASIDE MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO SEDUCTION CHARGE AND RECEIVES SENTENCE OF ONE YEAR AT SALEM. Henry Blunk of Seaside pleaded guilty before Judge McBride in the Circuit Court yesterday to a charge of seduction, and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary at Salem. By good behavior he may regain his liberty in about eight months. Blunk is the man who seduced a young woman at Seaside, presum ably under a promise of marriage, and then left her. He was arrested on the charge, and then played a part that shocked the little Seaside community even more than had his first escapade. He prevailed upon the younger sister of the woman he had wronged to leave for Portland with him, and for this was arrested on a charge of kidnapping. With the two charges against him of wronging the elder sister and kidnapping the younger, a young girl of 15 Blfink has been languishing in the county jail. He made up his mind to plead guilty on the lesser charge, and In the circuit court yesterday the graver charge of kidnapping was dismissed against him. The June term of the circuit court opened yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, with Judge Thomas M. Mc Bride presiding. Gilbert H. Hedges, district attorney, was also present. Today it is probable .also, that a great many applications for citizen ship papers will be passed on. The civil cases number about 125 of which many are divorce cases. Two di vorce crees were entered yesterday. Following is a list of the civil bill cases passed upon yesterday after noon: Western Dry Goods Co. vs. J. J. Robinson; dismissed. Williard N. Jones vs. J. P. Carson and Florence Carson; default and dc cree. Christianson & Co. vs. A. B. Dal gity; dismissed. Christianson & Co. vs. R. H. Sales; dismissed. Rothschild Bros. vs. Edw.
