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.
He was a fine looking young fellow,

an excellent reputation for sobriety
and general manliness. 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.

G. B. 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.
Notice Closing Barber Shops.
All the barber shops in the city will
close for a half hqliday on Saturday
the Fourth of July. All the shops
will keep open Friday evening the 3rd
until 9 o'clock. Open Saturday until
1 p. m. after which will continue
closed for the balance of the day.

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.
