The fine American-Hawaiian steam ship Nebraskan which came into this port for a partcargo of salmon, would have left here for San Francisco at noon yesterday, but the live mer chants of Portland, rather than have it said she entered the Columbia and failed to come to that . city, dug up quite a tonnage of grain for her and summoned her there on a proposal to absorb the river pilotage, and she left up at 1:30 yesterday, instead of go ing outward. It developed yester day that the bar pilots, who had agreed to abate the bar pilot fees to the Nebraskan, on the score of her ;t ,,. waters and did so, refuse to go any further j . I in the promise, and will charge her cilotaee both ways over the bar when she returns down. It seems their association rules forbid the abatement of the fixed rate for pilot ing and they met the demand for a showing of good-will on her arrival by doing the better thing of bringing her in free, on the hypothesis that she was going to make this a port of call and in honor of the first call; but her abandonment of that phase of the venture, absolves them, they say, from any such concession. And thus the matter stands for the pres ent. Captain Harry Empkins took her tip the river. Captain George Wood, of the bar service, was to have gone out on the steamship Nebraskan yesterday, had she followed the program laid down for her and sailed from here for the Bay City; but her departure for Portland negatived his purpose to visit San Francisco and his son, Dr. Wood, for the Fourth, so he will " spend the National holiday at home. The Standard Oil steamship Atlas arrived off the bar yesterday noon with Barge No. 3 on her tow lines, and signalled the bar tug Wallula to take the latter into port. The Wal lula picked up the fine tank-ship and brought to the city channels, where she was fastened onto by the river steamer Diamond O., and taken on to Portland. . , The bar pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer entered port yesterday on a quest for supplies; she is taking them aboard at the O. R. & N. pier, and will go back to her station some time today. The steamer Northland arrived TEA We want your goodwill and your money; not one cent without that good will.

Because complaints have been so general in regard to the position of road master, the county court before its adjournment yesterday arrived at the decision that it was best to abolish the office. Therefore it was formally voted to do away with the office of county road master for the county of Clatsop. But the court immediate ly appointed J. F. Bartoldus, who has been the road master, to a new posi tion. Inasmuch as it was seen to be an imperative need to have some trained and skilful man in charge of the rock crushing and other public work, Mr. Bartoldus was appointed as the superintendent of the two county i. i i r .i . . roc crusncrs ami vi inc cuiuraci work w bein done on thc J"1 haiI Tha cili wt thnt j-r"tjfi with hC road. The salary that goes with this superintendency is $100 a month. Therefore, while Mr. Bartoldus no longer holds the county office of road matser, he has just as good a place and one in which he can accomplish much good. For the future the several super intendents of the nineteen districts will be expected to look after their own districts. If their roads get in bad shape, it will be "up to" them to see that matters are straightened out, and now there can be no shifting of responsibility as under the old sys tem. The whole matter has appar ently been a vexatious one for the county court to handle. "Complaints were coming in all the time," said Judge Trenchardy yes terday, "and we found that it was simply impossible to satisfy everybody. Now there will be no road master to complain against and perhaps we will be able to accomplish better results. Anyway it will stop a lot of kicking." down yesterday morning and went outward at once.

The steamer Shoshone arrived down the river yesterday afternoon and proceeded directly to sea and San Francisco, .with a big load of lum ber. In honor of the National holiday, tomorrow, the Lurline dock and of fice will remain closed until the hour of 5 in the afternoon. The schooner Mabel Gale, with 875,000 feet of lumber on board, from the Columbia mills at Knappton, cleared for San Francisco yesterday. The motor schooner Delia, Captain Jones, arrived in yesterday from the Nestucca country with a full cargo of fine cheese. The schooner Letitia went to sea and San Pedro yesterday, with a full cargo of lumber, 230,000 feet all told. The British steamship Madura went to sea yesterday afternoon early bound for the Orient. J. DONNBRBERGi! Watchmaker Hamilton, Howard, and Rockf ord. f Commercial CAPTAIN LAMOREAUX GREAT LY INTERESTED AND WILL ASSIST THE LOCAL COM- PANY IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. It is altogether likely that there will be built up between. Astoria and Fort Stevens a very close relationship in the near future caused by the origina tion in'Astoria of the new military company. Capt. T. S. Lamorcaux has express ed himself as being exceptionally in terested in the Astoria military or ganization more than willing to as sist the officers' of the Astoria mili tary company in every way he could when their organization is perfected. Under the new law passed by the last session of Congress there will be the closest possible affiliation be tween the militia organized under its provisions and the officers and estab lishments of the regular army. The members of these militia organiza tions so constructed will be available for service in the regular army at any time they are called upon to furnish such service. Their equipment will be identical with that of the regular army, as also their code of tactics. It is extremely agreeable that there should be closer relations between the forts at the mouth of the rfver and the people of Astoria for more reasons than one. It is probably a fact that as a rule the ordinary citizen does not know whether there are 12 inch guns at Fort Stevens or wheth er there are any guns of any other size. When 70-odd of the young men of Astoria shall have become familiar with such details the relations ' be tween the people and thc soldiers will become much closer. As the channel at the mouth of the river is deepened, as it must be, as thc jetty construc tion is continued, the forts must be enlarged and strengthened accord ingly. There are forty new recruits due to arrive at rort Stevens within a few days, which will considerably add to the importance of that post in a mili tary as well as iq a business sense. The new barracks provide for 100 additional men and the 60 necessary recruits to make up this 100 are de sired before the end of the summer. Target practice is now going on at the fort and as soon as the local mili tary organization is ready for in structions of various kinds. Captain Lamoreaux assures that he will do all in his power towards that end. It is quite probable that when tar get practice takes place next spring the local military organization will be interested from. the standpoint of participation. The following interesting account from the Dalles "Observer" of trfe establishment of a company of the National Guard at Dalles, in Polk county, will undoubtedly be of inter est to the young men of Astoria who are just about to establish a company here. The .organization of Company, H, ot the Oregon .National Guard, was completed Thursday evening at the Woodman Hall, when thc young men who had enlisted during the week were formally mustered in by Adjutant-General W. E. Finzer, of Port land. More than enough men for a com pany were enlisted before Tuesday night, and on Wednesday evening, First Lieutenant C. C. McCormack, Assistant Surgeon, arrived in Dallas to put the men through the physical examination. This work was carried on during the whole of the following day, and when General Finzer arrived on the evening train, a full number of 70 men had been examined and passed. VAt 8:30 o'clock, Lieutenant R. W. Holman, the enlisting officer, entered the hall and" the men were drawn up in line along the north and east walls for the roll call. Each man as his name was called advanced a pace from the line, answerinf as he did so, "Here I" Adjutant-General Finzer stepped forward, and advanced to the center of the hall. Every man in the line straightened up instinctively, and of the best filled f St, i tot J U Wily ii' (il Copyright 190 by Hart Schaffner Marx Swell patterns$1.25 and up.

"Hold up your right hands!" Seventy men raised their right hand. "Repeat after me, what I shall read." "1 do solemnly swear, or affirm," began the General, and repeated the oath of alleg'ance to the United States and the State of Oregon, the sound of his voice being followed at every pause by the strong response from the seventy men who stood before him. Thus was Comp any IT, mustered into thc service of the United States and of the State of Oregon. After the close of this ceremony, General Finze adrdesscd the young guardsmen, congratulating Jhcin on their ready response to the call for ten, and prophesying great success for the newly organized company.
