The boxes will be put out Monday next, and the people of the city will cast their votes at one cent per, for their several chokes among the beautiful daugh ters of Clatsop. There are likely to be many candidates for the regal place and the interest will be no less than it has been, and everybody, is looking for an eager and Interesting contest. Proven By Experience The Regatta Committee has shown its wisdom again' in naming Hon. Frank J. Carney for the post of judge of the season's baby show. Experience has taught all concerned that there is no one so well qualified to single out the traits and merits of tlte dainty brother and sister-hood of infant Astorians, as Mr. Carney.

He says it was 106 in the shade down there some of the time, but not while the fraters were in session; but when they were foot -loose the thermometer went up significantly, and he had to decline an auto ride over the beauti ful country, on the score of the heat. But he will never forget the attend ant pleasures of the trip nor the abounding cood-will of the clever people who entertained him and his colleagues. A Word of Protest Johan Peterson, master of the motor launch "Chief" called at this office last evening and desired to protest against the charge that he had wilfully neglected the launch Katie in her moment of danger, on Thurs day evening. Captain Peterson said: "The morning and evening papers have both published statements to the effect that the launch Chief pass ed by the launch Katie without offer ing assistance, but they neglected to state (not knowing it) that when she so passed by, the launch Pilot had rescued the passengers all of them being on board the Pilot, and that nine-tenths of the net was also on the Pilot, and that she had lines on the Katie, It is true the Chief passed by, but before doing so was certain that ino assistance was needed. I desire I this to be Dublished to correct all lerronious impressions." Word From Sand Island- Word came, up. from the Sand Isl and fisheries yesterday to the effect that Thursday's blow down that way was very severe and the wonder is that the day passed without some fa talities to report. As it was all the 9mall craft stationed down there suf fered badly from wind and tides. The launch Sophie, broke fxom her moor ing and was badly smashed up and Incapacitated for service until repair A 23-pound salmon was 'taken . in at the Tallant-Grant Packing. Com pany's plant a day or two ago witn a big fish hook in its mouth. The fact that the hook was in the fish's mouth raises an interesting question. As far as is known to those who study the habits of the salmon, (he only place where they are fished for with hook and line is down off the Cajifornia coast, principally at Mon terey, where a considerable number of Italians annually engage in the pursuit of the salmon. Hence the in ference is made that this salmon that was taken with the hook in its mouth came up with the school from the south. Several years ago two other salmon were taken here with hooks in their mouths, and then it was ob served that the hooks were of the kind used by the Italian fishermen at Monterey. Of course this evidence is not conclusive, for it is possible that in some other place, as yet unknown to the men here, fishermen do take the salmon with hook and line, but nevertheless the belief that the Cali fornia fishermen are the only ones engaged in this kind of working is pretty strong. The conclusion drawn is that the salmon come here from the south, passing up along the Cali fornia coast. Mr. Van Dusen, for many years the master fish warden, is disposed to grant belief to this theory. "Jack" Fursey, who also has a wide and prac tical knowledge of the habits of the salmon, has long held the belief that the fish come here every year from along the California coast, and of course the finding of the hooks bears this theory out. ' In this relation there .is one fact of much importance. As the salmon come up the California coast they feed on the thousands of squib that fill the waten there. The squib is a tiny, transparent minnow. Investigation of the stomachs of the salmon taken at their food there to the exclusion of everything else. Therefore it is na ttiral that rvrv nffnrt chnnM K mni to conserve these squib as food for the immense schools of salmon, and yet the fact remains that the tiny minnows are destroyed by the tons. vii viae vraiuvi ma vudsi tafvc in the squib by . the millions and at I times ship as much as 125 tons of the dried squib to the far east to be used as fertilizer. Preposterous as this may seem at first glance, it is said to be entirely true, and if true it is cer tainly a stupendous wrong to the salmon industry. Efforts were made a few years ago to interest the California fish commis- ston m this matter, but nothing was done. ed: seven or eight fishing boats, sein inar skifs and receiving harc-es on the island, and over seven nets are known to have been lost. The Warren Com- pany's launch Tyone, Captain Alec.

Dr Henderson lost no time' in reaching ramp and at once made young Mr. Bremner as easy as pos sible under the circumstances, and brought liim home a couple of hours later, and bestowed him at the family home whtre he .will attend him unul he :.' vers. It seems the young man is rigging hustler for the camp and had swung a fairly large timber in the air prep aratory to placing it where it was wanted, when the lines became snarl ed in some way, and as Bremner sought to correct the situation, it suddenly unwove itself, and the freed tree swung quickly about catching him across the lower left side with a tremendous force, breaking several of the lower ribs, hurting the spine and badly bruising his body.

R. & N. dock at n m tai1w Pnnnrt IWng) Beach, ?1.00, Sunday's only Subscribe for the Morning Astorian, The surveying crew engaged in Lay ing out the preliminary line to Sear side for the electrical railway reach ed Gearhart yesterday. IS, L, Evan, in charge of the work, said last even ing that the line is progressing in most satisfactory manner and that espcically in the viciniy of Gearhart everything is going smoothly. For distance of seven or eight miles there the Jine will run almost as straight u a gun. barrel, with a magnificent view of the ocean all the way. The line i being run back of the sand dunes. The people along the line seem to appreciate to a marked degree th fact that the line is coming, and the surveyors say that in nearly every instance they are gladly welcomed and are given every assistance pos sible. Already, says Mr. Evans, he has been freely offered as a voluntary matter on the part of the landowners, fully ninety-five per cent of the rights of way that will be required foe the electric line. While it was expected that ftem would be little or toot difficulty hi securing the rights of way, neverthe less it was expected that it wouH naturally require some canvassing in the field to get them. Therefore the voluntary actions of the land owners as reported by Mr. Evans comes as excellent news. The S per cent that is still lacking does not mean that these few owners have refused rights of way; it simply means that they hare not come forward and offered them, though they may do this yet To have every inch of the rights of way freely and voluntarily offered would (really be quite an extraordinarjr thing. I The attitude of the farmers ani other land owners clearly indicates t her land owners cle how deeply they are interested in the i ...... . isurc to ioiiow tne opening -or ine electric line. And best of aTl, everjr- one in Astoria and the country be tween here and Seaside seem to he "pulling together" on the proposition. Instead of certain ones standing off to one side criticising and "knocking the whole city now sems to be work ing with the sole end in view of get ting results. Mr. Evans, the promo- tor, now says .that "everything ia just right." As soon- as the "preliminary sur vey is completed to Seaside, they will commence the work of 'locating" the line; that is, of slowly and carefully going over the line again to carefully select the best possible route, using all the. work done on the "prelim inary" as the basis for the "location of the route as finally selected.
