BAY AND OCEAN FREDERICK D. llTOfl YIELDS TO DEATH LINERS ON ALL WATERS ARE CLOSE TO SCHEDULES AND ALL ARE DOING FINE. The United Wireless station on , Telegraph Hill, this city reports that the U. S. Buffalo as being off the mouth of the river at 8 o'clock last evening, bound from San Francisco to Seattle. She left the Bay City Saturday evening at 5 o'clock, . and has been making about 11 knots and having nice weather up the coast with the exception ot a little rain from 2 to 4 last evening. The Buf falo expects to arrive at Seattle Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock. She also reports having passed a number of small coasting vessels, and reports all on board as "All Well." . The . Alaska Pacific Company's steamer Watson, which was due to pass the river yesterday at noon, bound from San Francisco to Seattle had not at a late hour been heard from. She has been running a little behind of Jier schedule of late and she probably was a little- late in 'leaving the Bay City. The Alaska fish ships Henry Vil- lard is due off the Columbia bar at any hour now; the St. Nicholas, of that fleet should hale in within the next few days; and the Berlin, which was still docked at the Warren can neries, when- the others left out, pack ing the "medium reds," or "silvers," to fill the cans of that company, will be due when she arrives, her depart ure being problematical.

The steamship Rose City docked at the 0. R. & N. pier yesterday morning at 9 o'clock with full list of passengers and 85 tons .of local freight; 25 tons ot which were steel head salmon, imported from the Sac ramento river fisheries for cold storage treatment here, which looks mightily like "taking coals to Newcastle." SUMMONS- CAME EARLY ON SUNDAY MORNING LAST FUNERAL TODAY. After two years of ceaseless suffer ing with a malady that defied the best medical skill, and made his life a grievous burden, Frederick David Winton, at the -age of 61 years, the well known lawyer, and ex-municipal judge, of this city, found relief in death a few minutes before 7 o'clock on Sunday morning last, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James Keating, on Tenth street, between Exchange and Franklin. Judge Winton was born in Glas gow, Scotland, in 1847, and devoted the earlier years of his life to the Methodist ministry, which he studied and practised until his breaking health compelled him to abandqn all effort of any kind or for nearly 40 years. His was a natue that rebelled against all limitations of this sort and his illness was more than badily ail ment to him, his mental resistance contributing greatly to reduce him to the unhappy helplessness that finally beset him. n In 1872 he married Miss Olive Hoyt of St. Johns, Oregon, and their happy wedded life was brightened by th coming ot three daughters, ail ot whom, with their mother, surviv him, Mrs. E. C. Slater, and Mrs. W. Bohon, both of Spokane, Wash and Mrs. James Keating, of this city. Judge Winton was a conspicuous figure in Clatsop county for 30 years. all of which time he served in her courts as a respected attorney, and he leaves many friends in, and out, of the profession, who will sincerely mourn his death. He was a veteran of the Civil War, and bore an honor able wound from the field of Port Hudson. He was a devoted member of the A. 0. U. W.; was a Master Mason, an Eagle, and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. The funeral will be held at two o'clock this afternoon from Grace Episcopal church. Rev. W. Seymour Short, officiating, and interment will be had at Greenwood cemetery, the services at the graveside being strict ly private.

The Scandinavian singers taking part in the great Sangerfest here, will decorate Queen Hattie I. with the Golden Cross of Honor, during the Regatta, as a memento of the happy season.

Among the really notable displays are those in the Fisher Bros, store on Bond. They are both cleverly and interestingly handled and must be seen to be ap preciated.

It is said that many of the citizens ot.west Astoria will object strenu ously to the project of building a sea wall for a reason that heretofore has not been stated. Hundreds of the fishermen who dwell in Uniontown each winter season gather virtually all the wood that is used for fuel in that part of the city from the waters of the Columbia, it is said, and it is argued that if a seawall is built it would prevent them from bringing their wood ashore That the objec tion is a serious one from the stand point of the people who live in that portion of the city may be takes as granted. It is said that for the past two winters it has been a practical impossibility to get wood in there from the mills and were it not for the fuel taken from the river there would have been a serious fuel fa mine in the western part of the city. Thousands of dollars are annually saved by securing wood from the j river, it is said. Some of the men which they tow in and then them up and sell the wood. Hence it is argued that if a seawall is con structed all this would be prevented, as it would not be readily possible to get the wood oyer the wall. But there is another side to the matter. Several well known citizens said yesterday that the chief complaint that can be made against the west part of the city lies in the apparent fact that its waterfront is not kept in a cleanly and nice condition, and that a seawall would' for the first time hide or get rid of a lot of untidy little shacks and numerous woodpiles and other piles of merely useless debris. Also that the seawall would not really prevent the men from bringing their wood to shore, as it could be taken in at the end Of the wall. Moreover, that it is highly improbable that the seawall would reach clear along the shore at that part of the city. And there the mat tcr stands for the present, save that the slight investigation made of the question by The Astonan reporter brought forth the fact that the resi dents of the western portion of the cily are proud of their section, and while not denying the presence of unsightly things and places along the waterfront, they still say that morally theirs is the cleanest part of the city, and that while many of the homes are small and modest, they are com fortable and cleanly. NEW TO-DAY All Things Modern. "The Modern," the beautiful ton sorial establishment of Arthur E. Petersen, at 572 Commercial street in thin city, is unquestionably the real resort for the most perfect treatment in this behalf, and the most critical finds nothing to criticize there, how soever often he visits the place.
