Treasurer W. R. MacKenzie, of the Kamm line, who was in the city yes terday for a few hours, and went on to the north shore beaches for a de served lay-off, is responsible for the good news.

Steamboat men do not always tell the full history of their trips up and down the Columbia, these days, and the reporter is frequently compelled to go to the shore people for details purposely forgotten by the captains and mates and engineers. Hence, the following bit of news, which might have been far more serious but, hap pily, was not: . ' On Wednesday, as the Spencer was making her landing at Skamokawa, on the down trip, something went wrong in her engine room and she did not answer the slow-down sig nals from the pilot house, but swung on her course, straight for the dock, with her full power on. The pilot suspecting all was not right below swunsr his wheel over like lightning and she reered out just far enough to escape direct collision with the dock but waiste and stern caught the cor ner nest of dolphins with a vicious crash and passed them safely and , ctnmff made another try and tied up successfully. But the essence of this story, for Astoria, at least, lies in the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Callender of this citv. with their children, and some guests, left up that morning for Skamokawa on the launch gueen and at the moment of the Spencer's rrnMna contact with the dolphin the Queen, Vith Mrs.Callender and her lady friends and children on board, was moored on the inner side of the dobhin. and the blow sent the launch hurtling to the beach and back again in a fashion that promised uszlv results for all concerned.

ON ELEVENTH STREET SCENE OF LIVELY GASOLINE FIRE. At 1:15 o'clock yesterday after noon as the Astoria business people were settling down to the second business innings of the day, an alarm of lire called the department to No. 112 Eleventh street, where the clean ing and dyeing establishment of Davis & Wagner was in fair way to devastate the Hawes Block. The fire started by Mr. Davis stepping upon a vagrant match on the floor, the tire front which caught his trouser leg ami leaped to the bench upon which he was working with gasoline, in cleaning garments. Almost instant ly the room was full of flames and smoke which pourd into the street from doors and windows. The alarm was answered swiftly by Chemical No. 1, from the block below on Bond street, and in a frac tion of time the stream was playing among the blazing contents of the shop and subduing the progress of the fire which was swepmg the walls and ceiling ana tilling tne noor above with blinding masses of smoke, j Hose Nos. i and 2 were on the spot j in fine time but were not needed. j No. 2 hose had the misfortune to! meet with an acident while on tne , run up from headquarters.

CALL FISH TRAP A SERIOUS MENACE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED ON THE NORTH SHORE BY FISH COMMISSIONER OF STATE OF WASHINGTON. Considerable feeling has been aroused among the fishermen over the establishment of a fish trap on the north side of the river, in a place that is said to be so dangerous that it will be a constant and serious menace both to the lives and the nets of the men in boats. This trap was recently established there by the fish warden of the State of Washington, John T. Riseland, who gained per mission from the federal authorities as a direct exception to the hereto fore rigid rule that no traps could be maintained outside of the establish ed harbor line. State Fish Commis sioner Riseland represented , that the trap was desired for the purpose of catching salmon for spawning pur poses, and that to secure the best results it was desirable and even necessary to have the trap outside of the established harbor lines- Fishermen of Astoria and of the north side of the river are up in arms against the state trap. Someone has already christened it the death I Oniv l Inducement !

Secretary Ed. Rosenberg, of the United Fishermen of the Pacific, has already taken the .matter up with Major Mclndoe, the recently appointed engineer in charge of the department of the Columbia. The facts in the matter appear to be all well told in the following com munication, which was sent to Com missioner Riseland: "ASTORIA, Or., July 21, 1908. "John T. Riseland, State Fish Com missioner, Bellingham, Wash.: Driv ing and operation of state fish-trap on Columbia in present location will cause loss of lives and property of drift-net fishermen. Hatchery pur poses surely cannot warrant such sacrifices, especially as location of state traps outside of harbor line will inevitably be used by private trapmen to extend their traps to lines of state traps, as harbor line will then have to be changed. This, then, will cause additional loss of lives and property. You know present harbor line was established to prevent loss of life and property. Hence I most emphatical ly protest on behalf of humanity and property against your fishtrap policy and ask you to, request Governor Mead, under whose instructions I suppose you act, to direct you to pull the piling recently driven by your or ders. Aided by photographer and exoerts, I personally today inspected your state trap piling and unhesitat ingly declare this trap will be, if main tained, the worst death trap ever op erated on the Columbia.
