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

ABOLISHES COUNTY
ROAD OFFICE
NEVERTHELESS MR. BARTOL
DUS GETS FINE NEW PLACE
AT ONCE FROM THE COUNTY
COURT.
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."

the Bay City with all the lumber she
can carry.
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.

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

every eye was iixed expectantly on
the tall military figure. "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

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.
Lieutenant Holman then held the
