FOUR FINE ATTRACTIONS ARE
ASSURED TO ASTORIA THIS
WINTER SEASON.
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
