Cleaning the Streets Parts of several of the streets were cleaned yesterday by flushing, and the improvement is most marked. With the approach of sunny weather all of the thoroughfares in the city will have to be given a cleansing, for otherwise the dust will soon begin to fly in pretty bad shape. Street Work The street between Exchange and Franklin on eleventh is being put in excellent shape. The old planking has been removed and heavy layers of dirt and crushed rock have been put on. The steam roller hat been at work on the crushed rock and in a day or two the thoroughfare will probably be in first-class shape for traffic.

I i CO.,; DEATH IN BUI One Fisherman Goes Down In Frightful Swells SIX BOATS ARE OVER SET Brave and Thrilling Work Done by Life-Savers Yesterday Out on the Bar as Boat After Boat Wat Toss ed by Mighty Waves. Yesterday forenoon there were things doing on the hither Mc of the Columbia bar that would have stirred up mad excitement had the home- people been nearer, or with knowl edge of them as they occurred. Fully ux tisliing boats were strung out along the great barrier and all with their nets out, bravely busy with the tasks demanded of them, and as the run was fairly good everybody ignor cd the fact that the sea was growing more and more threatening hour by hour. As usual the Cape Disappointment life-saving crew was out in the fine motor life-boat "Tenacious," keeping a wary eye on the long line of boats and active men therein, and, again, as usual, she had something to do. About 8 o'clock the water on the bar began to break heavily and the long swinging seas were becoming really noticeable to the fishermen, and they began to hedge against the steadily increasing size and force of the breakers, and haul in to quieter water. Sudddcn, about 9:4s o'clock, a smashing sea caught the long line and the first of four accidents took place. One of the boats went over and its crew and gear were adrift in the tumultous tide. This was occu pied by a fisherman by the name of John Johnson 'and his boat-puller, Matt Rcmes and the latter, so far as is known, is the only man to have acious. Almost betore the rescuing crew could catch their breath, the second boat went over in the boiling surf, and the life-savers swung down to tbem as rapidly as possible, pulling the boat-puller over thc side of the motor in safety; but the captain of the unfortunate fishing boat was caught under the boat itself, and for twenty minutes, fouled in lines below, he clung to the thwarts and. stood the hammering of the heavy craft, crying lustily for help all the while. Ken neth Inman, No. 8, on the "Ten acious," heard him and dove into the sea, coming up under the boat, where he struggled heroically and success fully to cut the man loose, and final ly brought him to thc surface and safety. The incident is counted one of thc finest pieces of work in this line of duty in many a day, and the plucky life-saver has, according to his superior officer, Captain Stuart and his mates, and those who witnessed his work, won distinct credit for adroitness and courage. From this time on till the hour of noon, the ncct as struggling nara.to maintain its place in thc ever-swelling seas and to make the most of the run. An nour later tne ooat oi cap tain W. Mikkola went over and his nets and gear, along with the boat, went ashore at Egg Point some hours afterward, the captain and his man taking refuge in the "Tenacious." The fourth, and last boat to suffer in this contest with the heavy water on the bar, was mastered by Captain Fred Henttu, and while his boat was j rounded up, his nets and boat "gear are supposed to have been lost, he and his puller clambering into the ever-ready life-saving craft from the Cape. Captain Stuart, of the Cape Disap pointment life-saving station, reports four capsizings, seven rescues Und one drowning, as the result of the long forenoon's work, and he says things were extremely lively down that way during the course of these disasters. He is of the opinion that there were at least six upsets, and that two of them made good and righted the boat in some way, but of this he is not certain. The body of young Matt Remes was sent to this city from Ilwaco late yesterday afternoon and was tak en over by Coroner W. C. A, Pohl and is noK at the Eleventh street un dertaking parlors. Reme9 was only 28 years of age, and a native of Lumijoki, Finland, and his friends aver that he has no relatives in this western country. He had been fish ing with Captain -John Johnson this season, though having made two previous visits to Astoria, but ' had finally concluded to make this city his home, and only of Tuesday last had so notified some of his intimates.

On his person were found a plain silver watch, some small change, and a postal money order for $30, drawn at Floodwood, Minnesota, payable to one Victor Warrilla, and drawn by Matt Hill on thc postoffice at Red Lodge, Mon tana. It is not known what arrange ments will be made for his funeral, but these matters are likely to de velop today. He has been boarding with John Boysky, at Alderbrobk. The motor life-saving boat "Ten acious" was slightly damaged in the course of her heavy work yesterday morning, and will at once undergo repair at the hands of Captain Stuart and his capable men down at Fort Canby. Headed For The River Yesterday afternoon the express team belonging to John Corno took French leave of their big driver and lit out from a Bond street call, and flew along that street till they reached Eleventh, when they headed north for the river and were met and turned just in the nick of time, by Ed. Don nelly of the Kamm dock. There was no damage to team nor wagon, but that was not the fault of the horses. County Court Meets The county court held a session yesterday that lasted throughout the entire day, though nothing but rou tine matters were passed upon. Many bills were presented and allowed. The Vesper Lumber Company was awarded a contract to deliver 100,000 feet of lumber at $6.50 a thousand to be used on the roads in the Vesper district. Judge Trenchard and Com missioners frye ana Larsen were present. Attended Convention- Rev. G. E. Rydquist returned on the noon tram yesterday from Port land, where he attended the bi-state Lutheran League convention, which was held at St. James church of that place. He reports a good convention with delegates from the principal cities of Oregon and Washington The local Lutheran young people were represented by the Misses Ny land and Karinen. Rev. Rydquist de livered the rally address Tuesday evening. That $600 Float- Astoria's $600 Rose Festival float arrived down from Portland on the steamer Undine yesterday evening in charge of Clark Loughrey, who went to tne metropolis tor it at the in stance .of thc Chamber of Commerce and the committee in charge of the Fourth of July celebration. It is a very large and handsome exhibit, and will be quite a strong feature on Sat urday next. It may be mentioned in passing that President Jacob Kamm, of the Kamm line of steamers, dead headed the trophy down as his con tribution to the fund of the Fourth. Deputy Resigns Greatly to the surprise of his many friends Carl Knutson, deputy in the office of Sheriff Pomeroy, tendered his resignation yesterday. He has been the chief deputy in the office for the past 18 months. Mr. Knutson has been desirous of getting out in the open air for several months and now will probably go out into the country for a short' vacation. Later he will return to the city and return to work in some suitable occupation. Mr. Knuton has other interests here, too, and for several days wlil busy himself with them, Was Not The Man ' Some days ago the Morning As torian, in dealing with the fishing trouble now prevalent on Sand Isl and, quoted an informant and men tioned the name of J. U. Coyle as one of the turbulent parties to the tran saction. This paper is now informed by a good friend of Mr. Coyle's that he had nothing whatever to do with the hubbub, although he works for the patries at interest on the north shore; and the Astorian gladly pub lishes the later statement rather than do Mr. Coyle or anyone else an injustice.

JOHNSON, General Agent To Appoint Deputy No announcement has yet been made of the appointment of a new deputy district attorney under Mr. Tongue, recently elected, though it is understood that at least, two of the Astoria attorneys have their lightning rods out in a position to be easily struck. Friends of Mr. McCue, who now holds the deputyship, say that he is willing to take the job for another term if it be offered to him. Appar ently there is no scramble being made for the place. Attorney Howard Brownell, who is making an excellent record in Astoria as an able lawyer, is also said to be a candidate for the place, and Mr. Brownell has many warm friends who would like to see him receive the appointment. "Get In Line" Members of the Fourth of July committee insist that it is a duty that all patriotic citizens owe to their city and to the celebration of the na tion's l natal day to participate in some way in the parade, and all who are not in the parade in any other capacity are invited to simply "get in line" and walk. There should be at least a thousand in the line. The place of formation for those who will walk will be on Tenth street, either south or north of Commercial. An nouncement was made last night that Charles H. Abercrombie will be in charge of the sports, and the follow ing will be the judges: W. E. Eigner, J. M. Hawthorne and A. M. Minard. Willie Woods will be the official starter. : New Electric Line Just what course the new electric line will follow betwen Astoria and Seaside is said not to be definitely de cided upon, though in a general way a route has been mapped out. It is thought by some that it can be run over the hill back of the city, it is understood, and if that is done there probably will be a happy lot of people up on. the heights. Nevertheless the hills back of the city present engineer ing problems of no mean dimensions, though probably not at all unsur mountable. Of course it would be possible to leave the city without go ing over the heights at all. But if it be possible to run the line over the heights from the level of the business part of the town, so that people could reach their homes there with ease, there seems little doubt that there would be a marked increase in the values of building sites back of' the city. Yet, as pointed out by a gentle man yesterday, the right of way will naturally follow the line of least re sistance, and in ascertaining the line of least resistance many things are to oe consiuerea in iiuaiuon 10 me pri mary ones of altitudes, depressions and levels.

" 6-23-tf MOTOR BOATS RACE International Speed Contest Takes Place in August FAST CRAFT ARE ENTERED England is Sending Two Fast Ves sels and the Challenging Vessel is a New Creation This Season, Owned by the Duke of Westminster. NEW YORK, July l.-Entries close today with the motor boat club of American for the international cm race to be held in Huntington Harbor on August 1 for the trophy which was won last year in England by Commo dore Schroeder's Dixie. From the latest advices received by the club from abroad, it seems possible that the only foreign competitors will be the English challenging boat Wolse-ley-Siddely and a second English boat recently entered, Daimler II, owned by Lord D. Walden. The challeng ing boat, which is a new creation this season and made a most excellent showing in the races at Monaco, is owned by the Duke of Westminster, and as both of the owners of these high speed craft are keen sportsmen that they wil be present to witness the race, and very hopeful, of course, that they will carry the trophy back to England. It had been very confidently believ ed by motor boat men here early ia the year that France would not allow the present contest to go by without being represented, particularly as some very fast boats have been built in that country this season. No indi cation of any entry from France or Germany has yet been received but Secretary Bieling said yesterday that if they were mailed under date of July 1 it would undoubtedly be accepted. Half a dozen American boats have already been entered for the elimina tion races to be held in Huntington Harbor, July 10 and 11 to pick the American defending team of three. It is thought there will be at least 10 starters and the list of Americas aspirants will be completed today. Subscribe to the Morning Astorian, 60 cents per month, delivered by carrier.
