OUT FOR JAPAN -BAR, BAY
AND RIVER MOVEMENTS.
The steamer Charles R. Spencer
was on time yesterday from Port
land, and out of Portland, on the
way, and entering Astoria, she hand
led 156 people. M. S. Hazen, well
known in the river service down
here, is now first officer of the
Spencer and doing nicely. Among the
Spencer's passengers out of this port
were Mr. and Mrs. John Warren Jr.
and Bert Warren, all of whom have
been spending a happy week at Sea
side with the father of the gentlemen
named, Rev. John Warren, rector of
Holy . Innocents' chapel, in this city.
George Caldwell was also a passen
ger up on the Spencer. 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. "
The steamer Nome City came
down from the metropolis on Sun
day, in the place of the steamer Al
liance which has gone on the drydock
to have her shafting overhauled.
Capt. M. Nolan, of this city, who is
second officer of the Alliance, spent
the "Fourth" and Sunday at his home
here, and returned to his ship last
evening. Captain Nolan speaks in
the highest terms of his new post
and ship and officers and says it is
one of the pleasantest billets he has
held in his long sea-going career.
The steamer Undine arrived down
yesterday evening with plenty of
business above and below stairs; Mr.
and Mrs. John Day returning from
their Portland outing on her. The

will, it is now expected, come out on
the Astoria run on Friday next, for
the season. 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. The Pan
ama stopped at Coos Bay on her
way up, and will take up the Break
water's schedule at once and hold it.
She went on to Portland after dock
ing at the O. R. & N. piers. 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. Elder was
'not spoken up to sundown last even

"RENDER UNTO CAESAR"
Recommends That All Church Prop
erties Should Be Taxed.
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.

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

. HOW? WHY?
Can th Economy Jar do all This?
Because the Economy uses no Rubber Ring. All other Jars use rubber

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

long the coast from here to Tilla-
nmol.. That whole te-ntory will be
opened by the new line."
