The fire department was last night called out about 11:30 in answer to a call from 12th and Bond streets where the chimney of the Tokio res taurant had become overheated.

Newly uniformed, sharply drilled, with their fine physical equipment, they are going after honors by com parison, in every way possible, for the sake of the company itself and the city they stand for. On the night of Saturday, August 6th, an election will be held, to complete the non-commissioned staff, seven .more men being needed in that behalf.

SEVERAL LOCAL GENTLEMEN ACCOMPANY VISITING GER- , MAN AGRICULTURIST UPON A TOUR OF INSPECTION. II. G. Van Duscn, A, Schcrneckau and J. II. Whyte, accompanied Mr. VVicsc, who is in Astoria looking into the matter of establishing a dairy or condtMisory business here, out on a tour of inspection of the dairy lands south of the city yesterday. The party left in the morning and did not re turn until last evening. The trip was an interesting one, and it enabled Mr. Wicse to see in a fairly comprehen sive way just what lands are avail able for the purposes under consid eration and also their rich and prolific character. First going along the south side of the Lewis and Clark the party viewed the fine dairy farms of that regino and then using the "cut-off" road, they drove over to the Young'f River country, reaching there at the base of the falls. There the farms were also looked over. At Olney the party took luncheon and then drove along the south side of the river down to the Walluski region. They stopped at sereral of the farms, and among others Mrs. Grant's fine country place. The local members of the party were highly pleased with all they aaw, though the scenes are not! unfamiliar to them, and evidently Mr. Wiese was also well pleased with his observations. For a week or more past Mr. Whyte has been engaged in ascertain ing the amount of milk that may daily be procured from the farms in the dairy regions contiguous to these rivers, and he now has the matter pretty well tabulated. Investigation show that it will be a comparatively easy task to secure enough milk to Every Pound of the Union Meat Co.'s Meat, Columbia Hams and Bacon is U. S. Government Inspected. 100 Per Cent.

Elmore & Company, owners ot a number of canneries along the Oregon coast, received word by wire, yesterday, from the master of the Gerald C, one of the companys' tenders, lying in the mouth of the Siuslaw, of the complete de struction by fire, on Wednesday night last, of the company's cannery there together with all the equipment, and the big lot of stores and supplies landed there by the Gerald C. De tails as to cause and loss are lacking, at this writing, but Mr. Elmore said yesterday that if the fire swept things as indicated in the dispatch, it will approximate $15,000; and is fully cov ered by insurance. The Gerald C. is expected home at his life.

John Minto, of Salem, who is summering on the Clatsop Plains, was in the city yesterday on pleasure and business combined. In the course of 'conversation with' an Astorian re porter, "Uncle" John led up to, and laid especial stress upon, the doctrine of 'Astoria' standing steadfastly by the Columbia river, as the "city's best commercial friend"; that As toria must do all she may to clear, clean, deepen and utilize it; that in all his 60-odd years of experience, he had. never seen so much silt in the Columbia- as is apparent this season, and he believes it is due, in a meas ure to obstructive fish devices, wheels, traps, etc.; that gill-netting is the only safe and open course to pur sue in the fisheries and that unless he harmful, disturbing systems are ut terly banished from the river the sal mon industry must die a quick and logical death. He says Astoria must, jwith all her neighboring . towns, go .after a complete system pf dredging and never let up until it is in full blast, and then see to it, . that it ! nver fails of operation. profitably run a condensory here, any time and particulars will then be The farmers seem to be satisfied with available. the plan, too, and some of them are entering in upon it in an enthusias tic manner, v The project of establishing a con densory seems to be taking shape in a fairly satisfactory manner. Mr. Wiese, who, as has been told before, is a German; and it is understood that he is thoroughly versed in all matters pertaining to the production and handling of milk. The plan is to cap italize the project, securing mostly local capital, and to have Mr. Wiese at the head of the concern. It has been suggested, also, that he may en deavor to establish a school, or some sort of classes, for the study of agri cultural and dairy matters. The Ore gon Agricultural College at Corvallis is now magnificently fitted out for in struction in such studies, but it is possible that Mr. Wiese might find fsome field for such work here. In the Willamette valley the exper ience with condensories has proven highly satisfactory. This city is looked upon as being an ideal loca tion for one. 1 Mr. Wiese also talks of endeavor ing to colonize some of the lands in Clatsop county. He says he might be able to interest quite a number of men trom his own home region Lands here may be secured at almost any price, from $100 an acre down to a few dollars per acre, and with the right kind of men going in on these lands there, is no doubt that much could be accomplished. If some of the Germans wish to come here every encouragement will be ottered them. PERSONAL MENTION Miss Mayse Fostor, a teacher in one of the Portland schools, is visit ing with Miss Grace M.
