Twelve days out from Nushagak river, in Bristol Bay, Alaska, the Portland Packers' Association's can nery tender, Captain Cantillion, cross ed in over the Columbia river bar and docked at the 0. R. & N. piers, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, with 17 souls on board, all well, all happy to feel the home soil beneath their feet, and all satisfied with the season and its work and output. The party in cluded, of course, Manager F. A. Deally, the company's representative in the far north, who reports the pack of 1908, at 57,000 cases. In conversation with Captain Can tillion, that gentleman said to a re porter for the Astorian, after the greetings of the moment: "The ships Morse and Berlin and the North King sailed together from Nushagak on August 24th, about 9 o'clock a. m.; the Berlin on my haw sers, and the Morse on the lines of the tender Nushagak, and both ships were dropped at 5 p. m. off Cape Con stantine; the Nushagak returning to the driver, which she was to leave, finally, on August 26th, two days later, no doubt she did. "We kept on our course and had sou'westerly winds and thick weather in Behring Sea as far as Unimak Pass, on September 2nd, and fresh westerly winds all the way down to the bar here. Six hundred miles off this port we sighted a solmon ship but could not identify her at the time. "The day before we left the ship Star of India departed for San Fran cisco on the 23rd of August; and on the 21st the ship Burgis went to sea and the Bay City, all deeply laden with good packs. "We towed the ship Kinney to sea on the 21st of August, the job falling to the North King, because the tug Haller, of the service to which the Kenney belonged, had to fetch a sheriffs posse to the Haller cannery to quell a violent row there, in which one. Japanese had murdered another, and bodly disconcerting the Haller peoples' plans. "The ship Columbia sailed for the south on the 18th of August; and the northern fleet must be in, or nearly in, by this time, including the tender Nushagak, the last vessel to leave there. The season has been a good one and every cannery used up its limit of supplies in the way of cans and cases." Cathlamet Regatta; "Admiral Shep herd, of the Astoria Regatta; Chair man Herman Wise and Astoria's Regatta Queen, Hattie I, and a live ly party of ladies and gentlemen and the Uppertown band of 16 pieces on bsard, ; left up yesterday morning early, for Cathlamet; followed imme diately by the Julia B., with another big crowd; the racing motors "Green horn," Skinch II, and Ethel, showing all boats the way up the river. Mr. Mac Beth, of the Oregonian, who went up early in the day, return ed home on the steamer Spencer and reported that the day was being de lightfully spent up there and that fun was fast and furious and all manner of interesting events being pulled off constantly. He saw Queen Marion crowned and says she is a beautiful and dignified young "potentate" (which last is Mac's own word for it). This story of a happy day, was verified by Captains McCully t and Johnson, of the Lurliue, who put the steamer through her paces in the grand tnarine parade there about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and who declare that Harry Blanchard took the first prize for the "most modest purser on the lower Columbia river," the prize being a hand mirror of ele gant design, devised so that the win ner need never lose sight of the mod est champion nor the peculiar virtue that won the trophy. . The dandy Heather was busy about the bay yesterday morning and among other duties done, she replaced the black spar-buoy on the sand-spit opposite the city, which was adrift and which was missed by land-lubber and sailer alike, about Astoria, as it was employed by the shore people to indicate the run of the tide, every time they look at it. On Tuesday morning next she will leave out with supplies for Tillamook Rock light; and will set a buoy on the bars at Til lamook and Nehalem. The customs steamer Patrol, with Admiral W F. McGregor, of the STYLISH SUITS The State of California docked at the O. R. & N. piers yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock, en route to San Francisco. She came down the river with 240 passengers on board and took on 58 more in this port, includ ing 44 Chinamen and Japanese just home from the Alaskan fisheries. She departed for the bar and open sea at 5 o'clock, promptly. The Voting Men's League of tho Presbyterian Church has again under taken to bring a Star course to the city. Last winter Astoria had no lec ture and musical course and the loss was felt by all who desire to hear the best talent. Every city in Oregon except Baker City has," contracted for a course for this winter. ( There will be four numbers in the Astoria course, as follows: Four Great Musical Artists, Nov. 9. Russcl H. Conwell, Jan. 25. Governor Johnson of Minnesota April 23. The Dunbar Bell Ringers, April 13. By special arrangement the League secures these four high-class attrac tions for $700, being considerably less than the regular price. U is not ex pected to make money, but the desire is that Astoria may hear the best talent in lectures and concerts. Course tickets will be sold at $2.00. That many will be pleased that the Young Men's League has arranged for the Star course for the winter season may be taken as a foregone conclusion, for these attractions are really excellent and the price is not so great as to prevent anyone from hearing the four entertainments. One might as well be out of the world al together as riever to hear or see new things, new ideas, and clever enter tainments. It is probable that the League will not make much money, and the young men .may be well pleased if they come out whole, and therefore it may be looked upon as a meritorious plan to aid in making the series of entertainments a fine sue ces. It may be of interest to know what the courses in other Oregon cities are costing, and the following list will show that Astoria, which must pay $700 for its course, gets off cheaply Spokane, $8000; Walla Wal la, $1850; North Yakima, $2500; Al bany, $800; Grant's Pass, $700; Eu gene, $1000; Medford, $1000; The Dalles,. $600; McMinnville, $600. j Newest Yett That's What Today's Shipmont of Hsrt Schaffner & Urn j: Suits are nifty Styles, beautiful blending of colors, j in fadl everything that goes to make swell cuts, a "Snappy Suit" for the dressy dressers.
