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.

STATE AN OBJECTION
TO THE SEAWALL

FROM GETTING THEIR FUEL
FROM COLUMBIA RIVER.

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

soever often he visits the place. '
The Clean Man.
The man who delights in personal
cleanliness, and enjoys his shave,
