Teller For Queen Vote
I'rcd Simington, the popular young
merchant, was yesterday , named by
'he A tona Regatta Committee, as
teller for the vote for Quce 0f the
Regalia, and will have full charge of
the ballots cast for that dignity be
tween ihis and the 15th of this month,
when the vote will close. 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

106 In The Shade-
Tom Loughrey is back from his
jolly trip to Medford with the Red
Men, of whom he is one and a leader,
and he is glad to get back to the
cool breezes of old Clatsop, despite
the superb hospitality of the Med
fordians, which, according to his tale,
and that of all others homing from
there, is the finest ever experienced.
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.

The unhappy newi was received at
the office of W, F. McGregor, n
P.ond Mreet yesterday afternoon, f'
an accid'!! t that had overtaken Rob
ert P. Bremner, son of James Brem-
ner, of the, Bremner Logging Com
pany, af that company's camp three
miles up on Young's River, but gi.'

and asked .that due preparation be
made for the reception of the injur
ed man and his conveyance to the

McGregor office .at once des;atch.;d
Ur. If. L Henderson to the c v.. f
the accident in a launch, and made
arrangements for the quick and com
fortable reception of the young man
when he should be brought in from
the camp. .
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

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.
At the present moment Dr. Hend
erson cannot say to just what length
the injury will go, but is quite hope

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. This
is the invariable manner of securing ,
routes. .
