VICTOR OR AN EDISON
PHONOGRAPH
Publish Engineer Journal
An undertaking that seems of more
than passing interests is the estab
lishment of an engineering journal
to be published by the engineering
students of the .Ctfegon Agriculture
colleee at Corvallis. The first num
ber of the journal, issued in magazine
form, has reached The Astorian, ana
is well printed and highly creditable
to the young men fiehind it. The ob
ject 19 the issuance of a monthly
magazine devoted to the engineering
matters and to the work done by
the engineering alumni of the college.
;The first number contains articles
; that are apparently of real value.
I There seems very little that is
1 "amateurish" about the publication,
I anM its inception and first issue seem
to bespeak a fine future.
Artillerymen' Drill
The drill of the First Company,
Coast Artillery, O. R. N. in Foard &
Stokes' hall last night was a decided
success and the men made a far bet
ter showing in their first appearance
as a company than had been expect
ed. There were only one or two ab
sentees. The company fell in at 8
o'clock and first went through squad
drill, and later Captain Abercrombie
took the men in hand and put them
throueh a company drill. The offi
cers were highly pleased with the
work done and it is thought that in a
very short time the company will be
in first-class shape, though it is rec
oirnized that it -will take hard work
and arduous drilling to accomplish
all that should be attained. Captain
Abercrombie announced appoint
ments as follows: G. A. Darland,
acting first sergeant: Guy R. Os
borne, acting second sergeant; Carl
Franseen, acting third sergeant; A. J.
Schroeder. Quartermaster; and Priv
ates Rogers, Bergman, Basil, Steven
son and Steele, corporals. On Aug
ust 6 will be held a competitive ex
amination, when two more sergeants
will be appointed, and five corporals.
Robbed The Scow-
After returning from a fishing trip
of several days, John Enckson re
turned to. his scow at Schmidt's Cold
Storatre dock early yesterday morn
ntr anil found that someone had
broken one of the windows and stol
en a suit of clothes and about three
dolars" in money. The suit, which
was a new one, belonged to a friend
of Erickson's by the name of Andrew
Anderson, who had it in Enckson s
scow for safe keeping. A man by
ft nam nf Tohnson who several
wepk's airo was boatpuller for Erick
son is accused of the 'theft, as it is
claimed he was the only man that
knew about the clothes. A pipe was
fnutiH in the house boat that, it is
said, was at once recognized by
Erickson as belonging to. Johnson. It
is impossible to tell just what time
th- Vohherv took place, and as John
inn has not been seen for several
Havs. it is thotieh that he has already
skipped this part of the country. , The
police have been notified and are
furnished with a sample of the cloth
that the suit was made out ot, ana
as the cloth is of an unusual pattern
it will be easily recognized in case
the thief sold it to anybody in this
city.
for a few days to ee if he would not
recover. . 1
Timmons is not a drinking man
and apparently has lead .an orderly
life. The cause of hia mental break
down could not be traced with any
degree of exactness yesterday. He
talked freely, but more or less inco
herently, and kept asserting that he
was being watched'and followed. For
the preceding two nights, he averred,
the police had been watching him at
the Astoria hotel. A a matter W
fact the police had paid no attention
to him in any way and knew nothing
of the mental affliction that was grow
ing on him. Recently Timmons took
a trip to San Francisco, going by
steamer, and he alleges that while at
sea the Astoria police sent wireless
messages to have him arrested upon
his arrival in the( California metrop
olis. As is very common in mental
derangements, Timmon's dementia
also takes a religious turn.
removed to Portland where Mr. Bos
worth is anxious to have him taken
as as soon as possible. Dr. Fulton
now says that he has every reason to
believe htat he will recover without
any permanent injuries that would
cripple him in any way. He was
resting quite easy yestreday, suffer
ing very little pain, excepting when
he couched, at which time the jarring
of his body would cause considerable
pain. The awful crush he received
may cause the congestion of his left
lung, but this, it is thought, will be
overcomed and will not develop into
any serious results.

R. S. Bosworth, who arrived in tne
city Tuesday night to care for John

land on the evening train last night.
He said that Stademan has been in

Stademan was on his way from San

Two fine hunting dogs belonging to
Mr. Botsworth were being taken to

the work at the jetty, in obedience tm
the Presidential letter directing that
a half-holiday be given to all day la
borers on government work
throughout the country, during the
summer, and on Saturdays, could
not, under the terms of that letter
and authority, grant this privilege
(nor its alternative, time and a hair
in the event the day laborers worked
on that afternoon) to the locomotive
engineers, as these operatives are not
classed as day workers on the roll
and roster at the jetties, but work
from month to month on salary. The
engineers resented this alleged dis
crimination and refused to work on
last Saturday afternoon, unless they
were given time and a half for the
period. This was also denied them,
for want of authority, and they refus
ed to go to work on Monday morn
ing, and very many of the men wh
were amenable to the privilege
question, sided with them and also
refused to take up the work.
The matter was widely discussed
among thoe concerned, and a com
mittee was sent to this city to secure
the legal aid of Messrs. Fulton Bros,
the lawyers, to press the claim m be
half of the engineers and their
sympathizers, but in the absence of
U. S. Senator Charles W. Fulton, hi
brother, and partner, G. C. Fulton,
declined to take the case, for very ex
cellent and proper reasons, and the
men returned to the jetty and re
ported. Further review of the situa
tion on the part of those thus con
tending, resulted in the abandonment
of the olea. for the time being, and
the work was started again yesterday
as above stated. .
This is the first time in many a long
day that anything like a serious
trouble has arisen at the jetties, and
that it has been adjusted, and work
resumed, relieves a decided strain
there, here, and at the quarries up
the river, which must have shut down
had the contest been persisted in; the
boats and barges used in transporting
rock must have been stopped, and
the ramifications of the try-out would
have wrought general disaster all
over the lower Columbia generally.
There is a fine body of men in the
government employ at the jetty, and
probably unmatched m the country
for sobriety, steadiness, and capa
bility, from top to bottom and
throughout. The very fact that these
men have relinquished their adverse
attitude, even if it be temporarily,
sneaks' volumnes for their judgment
and tolerance and their sense of the
importance and gravity of the work
they are doing: and it is broadly hoped
that what issues have arisen m thu
matter may be subsequently and sat
isfactorily adjusted, without further
recourse to the threatening and im
peding processes of a strike or simi
lar imperative operations.
