The map of the Columbia bar for 1908 has been issued from the office of Col W. S. Roessler, chief of the engineers in charge of the Columbia jetty, and it shows all that has been claimed for the bar improvement due to the jetty ;in other words, it shows a clearance of bar to 25.5 feet at mean low water, on a range nearly 6000 feet wide in width. This map goes forth to the shipping world as well as to all other men whether they are interested or not, and is fortified with the sanction of the United States government, a fact that puts it squarely up to all who dispute its correctness and reliability. It is evident, however, if the sum of efficacy is to be reached on the bar, the north jetty is imperative. This is but a matter slightly in excess of two miles of construction and in much shallower waters. We have not yet heard any special recommendation of this additional work from Colonel Roessler's department, but we believe it will be announced at an early day, since it is essential that it be mooted in time to secure the appropriation within the period it shall be needed. With that built, there can be no further doubt of the principle of jetty construction as applied to the Columbia river. guarded against all undue cost, but the same wisdom that maintains this standard can be used to meet the new emergency and meet it suc cessfully, and yet provide handsomely for the exigency that, from all appear ances cannot be finich longer overlooked. THE PLUCKY FISHERMAN. The world over the fisher for sea fish is a plucky man; hardy, courag eous, almost reckelss in his pursuit of the gamey salmon, or cod or other denizen of deep waters in or out the bars of the world. The Columbia river fisherman is no exception to the rule. He 'is the equal of any, when it comes to personal bravery and devoted atten tion to his business. Hence the ugly mix-up on the bar Wednesday, in .which eight men were cast into the heavy flood and Matt Remes . made the supreme sacrifice of the hour. Counsel and friendly, advice counts for nothing in such matters. As long as the fish run, the fisherman will be after them .taking every hazard that presents itself, cheerfully and pluck ily, and paying the extreme penalty when it shall be demanded. Perhaps the game is worth the candle, but to the man along shore it does not look it. The man who takes the risk and meets it with his life is the only one to make the accounting. Warning is of no avail, here, nor anywhere else. 1 ON ITS OWN GROUND. From all accounts it would appear that the taxpayers of Astoria school district will be soon up against a proposition of expansion of school room to accommodate the grwing numbers of children for which it is necessary to provide. If this come3 to pass, it strikes us the district will do well to use its own block of land in Shively's Astoria, and build amply and well, to put up a building of not less than 16 rooms, and if necessary transfer the high school department to that establishment. The crisis will evidently be raised by the continued disturbances beset ting the grounds upon which the present high school rests. If it shall become a determinable fact that this ground will slip in spite of all engi neering to stop it, then the safety of the lives of the children and young people quartered there will demand its abandonment. We know such a .iimov is nresiimablv. far away: but ,liiuun "J I THE PORTLAND WAY. Just as soon as Portland realized that Astoria was really doing some thing in the shipping line by securing the steamship Nebraskan for a cargo out of here, she, too, finds twelve or fifteen hundred tons of barley and other stuff and calls the ship there on a re-bated river pilotage, and the fine vessel goes after it, of course. This is all right, so far as Portland is concerned, and no less than was to be expected; but she can thank As toria for the primary advantage of getting the big liner in the Columbia river. It is Portland's way; and may well be copied here, and elsewhere. It is what is called "going after busi ness." We went after the Nebraskan and got ber, and had hoped to use the fact as a sign and guaranty of our ability to secure some shipping and to handle it with commendable despatch; and, so far as these ele ments go, we have made good. But the cream of the venture is scraped off by the adroit Portland hand and we have, the modified comfort of knowing we started the enterprise, while the metropolis garners the real effective credit of it all. But no one is discouraged by the issue that has befallen us in this par ticular case. We shall continue right along with this end in view and per haps in time we shall get to handle something that cannot be lured up the river. We meant well and did well so far as we earned the move ment; and we don't propose to let up. v?" i - s i V If "BoHer flian Oistoni llado" We:have special pride in the quality of our gobds we sell only merchandise which we can stand back of and guarantee to be absolutely satisfactory.

Will Meet in San Francisco on July 4 FOR WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP The Undefeated Negro is Striving After Wind and Strength, While "Bat" is Trying to Get More Speed and Boxing Skill. SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Joe Gans and Battling Nelson who will meet on the afternoon of July 4 in the Mission Street open air arena Almeda County in a 45 round boxing contest for the world's lightweight championship, have practically finish ed training. The pugilists are with in easy striking distance of the weight requirements, which call for 133 pounds at the ringside stripped, and only work of the lightest kind will feature the closing days in the rival camps. Gans' method of training for the coming fight, differed to a great extent from the previous contests in which the champion has figured. He has confined his operations almost entirely to road work gymnasium ex ercises of the simplest nature, Box ing has been entirely eliminated from his routine. By adopting this course Gans had had in mind the accumula tion of strength and ', perfection of wind in anticipation of a prolonged struggle. "It would be wasting valuable time to indulge in useless boxing stunts, as'lhere are other methods by which the Dane must be subdued, "the cham pion laughingly said. "Every one knows that I do not require practice in order to out-box Nelson." Nelson, on the other hand, has paid particular attention to the boxing part of his work. The battler has de voted himself unceasingly to a severe system of conditioning, and appears to be in as good condition as when he last met the champion at Goldfield. FAT ONE FOLKS DOLLAR that either contestants during the fight, said Welsh, to the fighters. "As to this, however, I shall use my own judgement. If both of the men hold as they did in Goldfield, and they re fuse to break at command, I will use force if necessary. You are going to fight under Marquis of Queensbcrry rules, and not London prize ring methods." The sale of tickets opened this morning and at once there was a rush for the choicest seats. ; Betting has been very light to date and there is little of the Nelson end being offered. Gans is favorite at odds of 2 to 1, and even money is be ing wagered that the . colored cham pion will win within' 25 rounds. The contest is scheduled to com mence at 2:30 p. m. and will be pre ceded by two six round bouts. Help for Those Who Have Stomach Trouble.
