She left up at 2:30 as usual The fine motor boat "West Butte" just built by Mr. Driscoll and his colleagues, of this port, made a good showing in the Portland regatta on the "Fourth," taking second and third places in two of the important events of the day; a fine record for a craft ' that had not settled into her joints yet, and the machinery of which was all raw with newness. Wait till she is mellowed down and fits herself and has gotten her stride and shell show the acquatic sports a thing or two. She arrived down home yesterday at 5 o'clock p. m.

She is in fine trim again, and will probably be the same old fixture she has been for the past score and more of years. The ship Roanoke is going on the ways early in the coming fall to have la new set of boilers installed, and her owners are casting about for a steam ship to fill her service during that time, and one that they can keep on the California-Astoria-Portland run after she returns to duty, for it is their purpose to put the third vessel on the route and amplify the service and the business in all ways. The City of Panama arrived in from San Francisco on Sunday af ternoon to take the place of the steamship Breakwater which will undergo extended repairs.

She had some trouble in making her berth. The fine four-masted schooner H. K. Hall arrived down from Portland on Sunday with a huge load on board for Kobe, Japan. She cleared yester day with 955 pieces of Oregon pine piling, and enough rough lumber to total 1,277,652 feet; she went over the bar on the lines of the Wallula yejterday. Oil barge No. 91, of the Standard oil fleet arrived down the river on Sunday last, and will go t6 sea on the hawsers of the steamship Atlas when that vessel arrives down from Portland. The Atlas reached port from the Sound yesterday and will probably return down today. The steamship State of California entered port at 2:15 yesterday after noon and docked soon afterward at the O. R. & N. piers. She had 297 people on board and a good manifest of freight; she left up for the metrop olis at 6 o'clock. ' The steamship Geo. W.

CHICAGO, July 6. Taxation of church property was advocated strongly by the Rev. Q. H. Harnly yesterday in a sermon n the Aus'in Baptist Church. "The church of Jesus Christ" the pastor said, "will never have render ed unto. Caesar the things that are Caesar's until she has paid her full quota of taxes on all property she possesses. State and local govern ments are supported by taxes asses sed upon property. The rate of tax depends upon the amount of prop erty assessed. The more property in a taxing district the lower the rate To exempt property, in a taxing dis trict is to lower the rate. To exempt property is to increase the rate. "Now here are millions of dollars worth of church property that is ex empt'from tax. The burden of tax upon the remaining property, there fore must be increased to make up the difference and thus citizens who may have no interest whatever in the church and who may not care to labor toward its work are compelled, indirectly to do so." Don't take cold, but if you do, don't fail to take Kemp's Balsam to prevent serious consequences. Nothing else is so valuable in treating coughs and colds. delay here, bound for . the southern coast of California.

At the regular meeting of the common council last, night, nothing out of the ordinary nature of routine business was transacted, although several matters wert discussed by members of the council, smong them the nuisance of the long drawn out blasts of steamboat and railroad whistles, and of introducing an ordi nance for regulating , the speed of trains running through the limits of the city, and introducing an automo bile speed limit. . To stop small boys from driving delivery wagons through the main streets, at a neck-breaking pace. No definite action was taken in any of these matters however, but the indications are that some thing soon will be done, to avoid this useless danger to the Astoria public.

' The Foard & Stokes Hardware Co. CAN FINANCE THE ELECTRIC LINE PROMOTORS AVER THE PRO JECT IS PROGRESSING FINE. LY AND THAT ITS CON STRUCTION IS ASSURED. Men who are influential in business and civic matters in Astoria say that the new electric line to Seaside and Tillamook is not a mere project on paper, but that the preliminary condi tions are such that its establishment may now be looked upon as a virtual certainty. While in years gone by, said a gentleman yesterday who is quite fa miliar with local coditions, "there were efforts in the that fell through, those failures . . . . . . . ' should not be taken as the criterion to measure the present plan. We know Just what we can do in the present venture, and 1 am not violat ing any confidence when I say that the financial end of the matter is practically assured. We will get the money all right. The only thing that might deter us is the attitude of the people of the county. We shall have to ask for certain franchise and certain right of way. We believe that the county and city authorities, and the people generally as this will be listinctly a peoples' road, with many stockholders should aid us freely and with all the fairness that the oc casion calls for. We will build the road all right enough if we are only met half way." Several of the gentlemen interested in the new road say that it is a prac tical certainty that the line will go over the heights back of the city. That the road will be a paying ven- Hire seems evident to tnose nacK oi the deal. F. E. Evans, who is promoting the new line, and L. C. Rogers, the engineer, are actively at work and in few days the surveying will be in full swing. At the Chamber of Com- i t mera yesterday it was said oy Mr. Whytc that much enthusiasm is be ing shown by many people in the Swi.ic and Tillamook line. "It cer tainly ought to be a big success right from the start," said Mr. Whyte. "I und..r.itand that there is no other ter j nti ry in all Oregon so thickly . set-1 tied that is without its electric lines. If you will look a t':ic maj.' yc.i can ce the ivimbcr of little towns all long the coast from here to Tilla- nmol.. That whole te-ntory will be opened by the new line." KILLED WHILE AUTOING Mrs. O.
