FIGURES FIXED BY ALASKA
PACKERS' ASSOCIATION, ON
NORTHERN PRODUCT, GIVEN
OUT HERE YESTERDAY.
The Morning Astorian was advised
yesterday upon unimpeachable au-
tonty that the Alaska Packers' Aso-
ciation, of San Francisco, has fixed
the prices for Alaska salmon for the
current year, at the following stand
ards: ,
Reds, $1.15; Medium Reds, $1.00;
finks, 70 cents; Chubs, 70 cents.
With eight days to run the local
packers arc chary about giving out
any definite figures on the several
packs of the lower Columbia for the
season, and are not likely to make
any declarations until the close of the
fishing next week.
It is admitted, practically, on all
sides, that the Alaska pack is far
ahead of the 1907, and the details are
to' be at hand very shortly, with the
arrival in port of the steamer North
Star, mail and advices from Nusha-
gak.

112 TO 120 TWELFTH STREET
Made For Portland
A careful survey of the new passen
ger tariff of the Astoria & Columbia
River Railway Company, kindly fur
nished by City Agent G. B. Johnson,
of that company, indicates that the
rates were made specifically in favor!
of Portland, and particularly those
covering the 50 miles out of Astoria.
For instance, the Clatskanie citizen
can go to the metropolis, 62 miles
away, for $1.45, or but 20 cents better
than the 38-milc run to this city; the
discrepancy is a bit plainer, for Port
land, in the Ingles rate, which lands a
man or woman there, 60 miles away,
at $1.40, while to come hither, 40
miles, the charge is $1.30. The Quincy
tariff is the onljr one that breaks even,
as it is equal either way and yet not
fair for the same rate covers
the Portland run of eighteen
miles greater distance. From May
gers, 44 miles from here, the rate is
$1.25, while for 56 miles Portland-
ward, it only costs $1.45; and exactly
the same specious ratio is followed on
the Pyramid tariff, which to Portland,
53 miles away, is $1.20, and to As
toria, 47 miles, it is $1.50, the Rainier
and Goble rates are made on the
same identical basis as Maygers, with
out reference to distances at all. The
whole thing being plainly inspired at,
and for, Portland; and may be taken
to account for the big passenger traf
fic on the river boats between here
and Portland, of late.

THIS PROMISES TO BE ONE OF
THE MOST INTERESTING
FEATURES OF THE 1908
REGATTA.
In all directions it is apparent that
the tug of war tournament will be
one of the greatest features of the
coming regatta. The enthusiasm
aroused by the last tournament is be
ing shown by the careful preparations
being made by the different teams
which, with one or two exceptions,
will have the same captains as last
year. Martin Franciscovich and Mr.
Eigner, captains of the Austrian and
a . . .
American teams, respectively, can
that his team will outpull the Aus
trians. The proposition was accept
ed and a written agreement signed
and placed in the hands of Manager
Planck who will hand it to Chief
Gammal, the referee, at the opening
of the tournament.
The other captains are equally en
thusiastic and confident of the
strength of their teams and the teal
with which the men are training is
gratifying to them and assures some
fine contests. Considerable anticipa
tion is being indulged in as to the per
sonnel of the different teams and
much speculation as to the outcome.
Before the date of the tournament
the names of the members of the
teams will be published so that afl
may know who will represent the
various nations.

Sunday At Opera House
The Astoria Theatre wes comfort
ably filled last Sunday night to wit
ness "On The Frontier," as presented
by a company called "The Claman
Players." The performance was no
better or worse than a number of
other popular priced one-night stand
attractions, that have visited Astoria,
nevertheless the show seemed to
please the audience, judging from
; the applause that greeted the closing
of each act. The piece was of a lurid
type of tnelo-drama, and presented
many opportunities for gun play that
so delights the hearts of the -melodramatic
performer. Still there were
some pleasing features, especially the
specialties between acts. The com
pany will return to Astoria for the
