ASTORIA REGATTA IS WELL ADVERTISED IN THE "OUTINGS IN ORE GON" BOOKLET PUBLISHED BY WM. McMURRAY OF THE HARRIMAN LINES. FOURTH OF BENSON'S SEA-RAFTS IS BROUGHT DOWN FROM STELLA YESTERDAY EN ROUTE TO SAN DIEGO OLSEN MAHONEY IN PORT OIL FLEET IN SUNDAY -LATEST WATERFRONT NEWS The marine event of the day yes terday was the arrival down from Stella of the fourth of the huge Ben son sea-going rafts, containing, prac tically, four million feet of timbers, and destined for the mills of the Benson Logging Company, at San Diego. The great cigarshaped mass, swathed in thousands of feet of chain and cored with wire cables, was under manipulation of the big tow ing steamers M. F. Henderson and Sarah A. Dixon, and was cleverly handled all the way through Astoria waters, and anchored in the lower harbor to await the arrival of the Spreckles sea-tug Dauntless, due at any hour, and probably deterred by the strong nor'wester that has held back the liners Roanoke and Rose City. The raft will go to sea the moment it is safe to go over the bar, perhaps today. There are two more to come, being now in the vast cardies. . The fine steamship Col. E. L. Drake, with 400,000 barrels of fuel oil on board, from the Uiiiiorma coast, entered port on Sunday after noon last, and went on to the me tropolies after a brief stay here. She was followed almost immediately by the steamship Rosecrans with the sea-barge Monterey on her hawsers. The Rosecrans carried 22,000 barrels of oil and the Monterey had 17,000 barrels, a mere handful beside the cargo of the Drake. The latter ves sels came up from Monterey, Cal. The Drake came over the bar draw ing 24 feet and six inches, and did it without any trouble whatever. r' ' The United Wireless station on Telegraph Hill in this city reports the steamer Watson as passing Cape Lookout at 6 o'clock last evening and wHncr acainst heavv headseas. The weather is clear and the sea is mod- saying it eclipsed anything so far. Captain Gcnereaux, of the Marine Underwriters' force, is going to work on the derelict steamer Minnie Kclton, himself. He intends to drive dolphins alongside her, to moor some huge barges to and will work from them with wire cables which will be passed beneath her by a diver; and if all goes well she will be raised and pumped out, and then put in condi tion to float her to the drydocks up the river. The Rose Citv ran into a north western on her trio up the coast and did not arrive in until 6:30 last even ing. Her officers report that she had a fairly hard pull all the way up. Arriving at the mouth of the Colum bia everything was found smooth, and the passegcrs enjoyed their sup per coming up the river. The pas senger list contained 275 names ana she carried about 1200 tons ot treigut. The trial trio of the handsome new launch Irene Barnes was made yes terday between this city and Lath lamet. with her owner. F. C. Barnes, and a large party of ladies and gen tlpmen on board. She behaved splen didlv. and made fine time. Mr. Barnes is fixing her up for her departure for T ate H.1V. Alaska, this evening. He will go north in her. The four masted schooner Oliver J. Olsen, grain laden for San Pedro, came down the river on Sunday last and is readv for the earliest possible despatch, and will probably go to sea today. She is the second grain schooner 'of the season, the W. R. Hume preceding her a week or more ago. . The Norwegian steamship Tabor is due in from Bellinzham at any hour. She will load 700,000 feet of lumber at the Columbia mills at Knappton, and then go on to Portland for the balance of, her cargo, which is for Oriental delivery. Later Tabor ar rived in last night. The bie. fine, all steel steamer Olsen & Mahoney arrived in here on Sunday last, from Cordova, Alaska, for orders and is now berthed at the Fisher dock.

The IFECTIOM WOOD VALUES UMRli SHARP TEST wmrnimmmmmmmmmmmam VISIT TO DR. L. F. HAWLEY'S LABORATORY AT CLATSOP MILL WORK OF A PRIMARY SORT-TO BE FOLLOWED BY WIDER EXPLOITATION. Mr. Win. McMurray, general pas senger agent ot the uarrinian lines, has prepared a most beautiful booklet, entitled "Outings in Oregon' and sent a cony to the Chamber of Commerce. On the front cover is a pretty picture of "The Oregon Girl." Inside of the book there is this to y, concerning the Astoria Regatta: "For three days, beginning August 27th, the Columbia River Regatta at Astoria will be a center of interest. People wil come from all over the I'.-u-ifie Const to ioin in the water festivities with which the Astorians celebrate the great annual fish har vest. The salmon run is ended, mil lions of the handsome 50 and 60- pound fish have been captured on tluir way up stream and put into cans for the market, and now, as in the old-fashioned harvest festivals of earlier New England days, the entire community honors the close of the season. Atter the tormal opening ot the Regatta by the 'Queen', there will follow all forms of aquatic suort. street carnivals, fancy balls, marine parades, yacht racing, launch racing, fish boat racing, water polo, log rolling contests, grotesque pa rades, high diving contests, United States life-saving drills, the streets, waterfronts and boats gaily decorat ed, and music everywhere. A grand marine parade will close the Regatta, when every boat will be magmheent ly illuminated with electric lights of all colors, which, reflected in the clear placid water of the Columbia, produce a scene of unmatched beauty. Contesting water craft will come from San Francisco, Alameda, Vic toria, Portland, everywhere along the coast. Guests will fill the city from very direction. The Regatta, coming just before the close of the beach season, draws the beach guests from North Beach and South, thus making an assemblage of visitors that adds not a little to the incentive to be present. "While visiting the Reeatta. tt is well to bear in mind the historic in terest all must feel in this place, and iew it as part of the dream of Astor who saw ahead of his time, and planned propheticaly for the future of the great Northwest.

"The fishermen, the nets and seines, the wide-spreading mouth ol the river." and the bay, with the roll ing grandeur of the ocean sweeping nward, make a picture worth travel ne far to see; and there is no better time to see it than during the Re gatta, when the city adds a gala air to the scene.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (Incorporated) The Evie has returned from Tila mook bay'points. On her way back she dropped her trawl nets and pick ed up 1500 pounds of fresh sea fish. The schooner W. F. Jewctt, with nearly 600,000 feet of lumber on hoard taken on at Stella, cleared from here yesterday for Redondo. The steamer Daisy Mitchell was anion gthe Sunday arrivals from San Francisco, and will load lumber out from Linton. The steamer Cascades touched in here on Sunday last, on her way from San Francisco, to Grays Harbor She left out almost immediately. The steamer Alliance made her usual trin down, and out. for the Coos Bay country, on Sunday; leav ing out at once. The sea tug Condor has arrived in from Wallport, and will load general merchandise outward. The steamer Northland is due down from Portland sometime to-day, outward bound for the Bay City, emotional power, vivid stage settings Dr. F. L. Hawley. forestry export, and representing the United States Department of Agriculture, who ar rived here on the 26th of May last to test the values of the Clatsop fir, by the processes of distillation, was found yesterday at his laboratory in the Clatsop mills, by a reported for the Morning Astoria, who was agree abl entertained in watching, and listening to, the operator. The work being done by Dr. Haw ley is purely primary. Upon his re port to the department will depend the larger and deeper exploitation of the residual values of the local woods; and that repor will go first to the authorities at Washington. From there it will find its way, later, to the Astoria Chamber of Commerce and general publicity. The government is seeking, by different processes, to save to com merce the SO or 60 per cent of the timbers of the land now going to sheer and utter waste; for it is a traditional fact that only about half the tree is ever made merchantable, and the purpose is to mimfy this enormous loss, and bring the hidden values to light and use by means that ... . will warrant commercial laciormg and marketing. Dr. Hawley has given most of his time and attention to the fir wood of this section, though he has experi mented with the cedar and the spruce but only cnouidi to assure himself, that by the process of distillation, the latter woods are not susceptible of profitable manipulation. The residual and elemental dualities for which he is searching, arc turpentine, charcoal, rosin, gums, and the essential oils that are known to be in the various woods. Turpentine, of course, pre dominates, the various ratios of the other elements are measured by the standard set by the "turps. When found vesterdav the doctor was husv distillinu a lot of fir saw dust. He had it in a copper can, the contents of which represented one three hundredth of a cord, and was being subjected to a powerful steam ict .the rcsidium being caught anfl measured in one of the many devices employed in his work. In the main of course, it was turpentine, and this was plainly discernible on the surface of the accretions from the copper can. With commendable fielity to his trust Dr. Hawley was silent as tne grave as to what he had discovered and the probable effect of his full and final report on the government's subsenuent trv-out of the woods here He will be through with his work sometime next week; and from wh of his immedite future, will likely co into Arizona, to make similar tests of the famous western yellow pine of that country. The govern ment has recently sold to a big mill ing concern there, certain rights to cut and mill these great timbers from the reservation; and both Uncle Sam and the company concerned, arc anx ious to know all that can be ascer tained of the residual qualities, quan tities, and costs and values, of the yellow pine. The work this accomplished gentle man is domtr nav not seem to amount to much at this time; but the information he is now supplying the government, may at some future day be of immense interest and wide value to the nation. For the day will come when wood and all it contains, will have to be carefully conserved, and its last value commercialized; in which event, the reports on what , is obtained by distilation, will pave the wav to the larsccr and more efheae ious methods that will be undertaken.
