In a letter to the Chamber of Com
merce, George J. Richardson, of the
Richardson Steamship Line Company,
states that the company expects to
run vessels to this port from San
Francisco about every five days from
new on. The company owns the F. S.
Loop, the R. D. Inman and the Johaii
Fouiscn, the latter having been in
port yesterday. Mr. Richardson fur
ther states that his company will
offer rates that he says are only about
one-half of those offered by other
lines carrying freight to Astoria from
San Francisco, and "therefore," the
letter adds, "we expect to secure
most of the shipments to Astoria."
Astpria will welcome rates that are
reasonable and shippers will
doubtedly be glad to patronize the
Richardson vessels to the exclusion
of 'others if the rates are to be as
promised in the letter to the Chamber

I of the common council had virtually
completed its deliberations on the
'matter of the seawall, though prob
ably minor questions will yet be dis-
I cussed. The committee has spent
imany hours in going over the sea
wall matter and has threshed out ev
ery detail, so that each member of the
committee has become quite familiar

tions will also be taken up prepara

Ed. Donnelly, wharfinger for the
Kamm line, on the Lurline dock, has,
in grateful memory of his old friend
and patron, Captain William Larkin,
of happy fame, procured a handsome
and enlarged portrait of his late
chief, done in water crayons and hung
it in the company's office here. He
procured the work through Frank
Woodfield, from a Chicago house.
The act and the picture are both
"creditable to Mr. Donnelly.
The Lurline brought down a fair

of her popular purser; and plenty of

her an hour or more late getting in.

Captain Abererombie and Lieuten
ant Knobloch of the First Company,
Coast 'Artillery, stated last evening
that plans have been virtually com
pleted for the organisation of a sec
ond artillery company in the city of
Astoria. This will be good news to
many. .
With such enthusiasm and sncces
has the first company been carried on
that from the first it began to appea
as it mere wotua re room for a sec
ond organization, and Adjutant-Gen
eral Finzer has expressed hi approva
of the plan. Yesterday it was for
inally decided to proceed with the
plans to organize a Second Company,
Coast Artillery in Astoria, and if the
same success, is met with that was
accorded the endeavors to start the
First Company, it will be only a mat
ter of a few weeks before the Sec
ond Company is formally launched.
The officers of the First Company
arc enthusiastic over the plan of
starting another company. If it is
carried out successfully it will mean
that Astoria will be one of the best
military, towns in the State of Ore
gon, and it will also mean, in an liken
hood, that within a few years this
city can have an armory of its own
for the soldier boys.
It is practicaiy assured that we
will have a second company," said
Captain Abererombie. "I talked with
Adjutant- Finzer about it and he ap
proved the plan and said he saw no
reason why we can't succeed. If we
do it, it will mean much for us in a
military way, and among other
things it would permit us to have field
officers, and probably it would be
only a matter of tfme before the
Legislature would grant us money
for an armory of our own."
The need for the additional com
pany arises from the fact that the
present organization is not large
enough for all that wish to take up
the military work. Lee Cadoneau is
one man who has always oeen an en
thusiast along these lines and for per
sonal reasons he was not able to at
tach himself to the original company,
and now Mr. Cadoneau is anxious to
see another company. He says that
he knows of 20 men who want to
join the new company, and another
man says he knows of fully 30 more
who will join. After conferring with
Captain Abererombie, Mr. Cadoneau
and others have decided to go ahead
with the plan and probably within a

by cutting through this private prop'
erty for a distance of 360 feet, the
treet could then connect with various
other main thoroughfares in Union-
town. Owing to a lack of uniformity
in laying out land in that vicinity,
here was apparently no provision
made for ever running Commercial
street right through to the westward.
It would be possible to go south one
block and carry the street through
on a continuation of uuane street,
but to.do that would entail a consid
erable expense in grading, as the land
there is quite rough. To carry a con
tinuation of Commercial street
through would require little expense
in the way of grading, as the land is
comparatively level, with no big

In short, the amendment calculates,
as it now stands that the cost of build
ing the seawall and filling in the tide
lands will be about $800,000, of which
the municipality is to pay merely the
$300,000; the $500,000 ultimately must
be paid by the land owners directly
benefitted. The city, meanwhile, is
beholden for the sum issued in bonds
and has for its security liens against
the lands benefitted.
Upon the whole the amendment is
considered a most excellent one by
those who favor such a measure.
The amendment provides for the
appointment of a commission of nine
members, who shall now be named in
the amendment, to hold office until
1915, when new officers shall be elect
ed by the people, Provision is also
made for a secretary, attorney, etc., to
be paid salaries. The length of the
retaining wall and other like details
would be left to the members of the
commission, five of whom shall con
stitute a majority.
As far as can be learned any elector
may vote on this proposed amend
ment, and the charter amendment it
self makes no provision for any re
striction upon the electorate as to
property qualifications or otherwise.
The charter amendment committee
of the city council consists of the fol
lowing: Councilmen Logan, Kaboth,
Hansen, Leinenweber, and Robinson.
