WILL IT PAY ASTORIA?
There is a good deal of talk of an
apprehensive sort going the rounds
of Astoria just now, and the coming
of the steamer Charles R. Spencer
and the results of her invasion of the
A. & C, O. R. &. N. and Kamm ter
ritory. The idea is prevalent that a sharp
fight is being programmed for the
swift river liner, and that it will be
precipitated by the coming of the
steamer Baily Gatzert, which will
enter the field with a schedule of pas
senger rates hovering about the
"two-bit" limit, while preserving the
freight rates intact; the conclusion is
final and general that such a contre
temps will be disastrous for this city,
as the sum of local buying will revert
largely to Portland, as it did some
years ago when such a tariff pre
vailed between this city and that.
The Spencer people are accused of
hauling potatoes and feed-stuffs at
a sharp reduction, while billing them
at the nominal rate, and it is said,
further, that a number of Astoria
merchants are making use of the
abatement This is to be resented by
the transportation companies and in

DEPORTATION CHEAPER.
The case of Frank Beckman, the
insane person just committed from
this county to the asylum for insane
at Salem, is one to point the moral
of Governmental interference. This
man has been in the country for 20
years, coming hither from Sweden,
his nature and system charged to the
full with the germ of insanity. The
man is a ravening maniac; a fierce
type of the awful mental re-action
that follows its hereditary plane, only
to break forth on some extraordinary
strain and pressure, and at best, cost
ing the country enormously to care
for and perpetuate an existance
wholly unfit and menacing. This man
never even applied for his first
papers in citizenship; he is an alien
charge upon the nurse of the native
and naturalized citizenry of the state ! ,a(lller truck was nalf wy to the fire

NEW YORK June 29.-For more
than a month Stephen Joseph Adam,
chief of the fire department of Buda
Pest, Hungary, has been fighting fire
on the East side as a member of
Hook and Ladder Company 18.
Adam, who weighs 230 pounds, came
to this country accompanied by his
wife and son and commissioned by
the Buda Pest authorities to make
a thorough investigation of the sys
tem of fighting the flames in the big
cities of the M. S. The credentials
represented to Fire Chief Croker
insured him every attention and his
request to gain experience as a real
fire laddie was granted. He was
equipped with helmet uniform, rub
ber coat and rubber boots and sent
to Truck No. 18 to learn how the
New York fire fighters do business.
It took the Hungarian fire fichter
several days to become accustomed
to the quick action of the New York
ers. At the first alarm the hook and

Every business man here wants to

that is reasonable to secure such con
cessions; but whether it is "safe and
sane" to precipitate a rate-war that
will take the local dollar to the me

of deep significance and should be
weighed well and honestly before it
passes into fact. The sacrifices in
either case had better be measured

Start is From the Brooklyn Yacht
Club, and it is Expected That at
Least Twenty Entries Will be
Made '325-Mile Course.
NEW YORK June 29,-Eighteen
boats have been entered for the Lip
ton cup ocean yacht race which will
start next Saturday morning from
the Brooklyn Yacht Club. The ent
rics will not close with the committee
in charge of this interesting contest
until tomorrow and it is expected that
at least twenty boats will start in the
325 mile race. The only unfortunate
feature about the coming race of the
Brooklyn Yacht Club is that the cup
to be awarded the victor is not yet
in evidence. Sir Thomas Lipton,
who holds many close friendships
with the members of the club, offered
the trophy a year ago. It is to cost
$1,(XX but it has not arrived here.
Sir Thomas will be kept informed by
the committee of the success of the
race and the name of the winning
yacht with other details to be sent to
him immediately after the result is
known. It is said that the coming
race will occupy slightly xver three
days. The start will be made at 10
o'clock and the course will be south
ward to Scotland Lightship, to and
around Fire Island, then around the
northwest end of the light vessel off
Cape May.
