AUTUMN TERMS COMMENCE AT SEASIDE, WARRENTON, HAMMOND, SKIPANON COAST, BAR AND RIVER NEWS OF THE HOUR CRAFT ARRIVING AND DEPARTING IN AND FROM ASTORIA -AND THEIR MASTERS. MEN AND MESSAGES Inspector Raphael Bonham, of the federal immigration service, in this city, yesterday morning received or ders from his superiors in the matter of the disposal of the two stowaways taken from the American schooner Seahome on her arrival here and jailed. The men are Norwegians, but came irofrom a British port, and are to be released upon their taking oath to depart out of the country on some foreign-bound bottom within a reasonable time. In the meantime their countrymen here will have a friendly eye upon them. The German tramp steamship Nei derlands, crossed in yesterday from Puget Sound, and went on up the river after cargo. The coast liner Delia, Captain Bob. Jones on the bridge, entered port yesterday morning at 2 o'clock and docked at the O. R. & N. where she is discharging a full cargo from the Nestucca cheese heaven, besides 60, 000 pounds of pickled salmon for the Portland Fish Company. The "tom-cod" battery along the Astoria waterfront, consisting of men, women, boys and girls, was ap parently more numerous yesterday than the gamey and toothsome fish they were after; but the stuck to it manfully till the supper they "hadn't caught" got to calling them homeward a bit insist an tly. she will take on wheat for European delivery. The schooner Oliver J. Olsen has cleared from this port, for Hoquiam, whence she will take a lumber cargo to San Francisco, and there go under general repair. The steamer Alliance was a Sunday departure for Coos Bay, Hon. Elijah Smith being on her passenger list. The Breakwater also came in from that run at the same time. I he Mate ot California came in from San Francisco at an early hour yesterday forenoon, with plenty of freight but an abated passenger list. lhe oeo. w. tlder will follow in early this morning. ibe United Wireless btation on Telegrah Hill reports the steamer Buckman, as passing the mouth of the river at 5 o'clock last evening bound from San Francisco to Seattle. She reports "All Well." The gasoline schooner Condor came in from the lower coast yes terday. And the Sue H. Elmore and the Evie, of the Elmore fleet, are both home from Tillamook Bay. At OMU clock ow aumiay morn imr last as Karl Knobluch, the well known citizen of Uniontown was at work in his garden, three blocCs away he noticed signs of fire at the milling plant of the Astoria Lumber Com Company to the westward, and below him, and made all haste to the scene, turning in an alarm of fire at the nearest box, as he went Almost in stantly what was but a moment be fort a mere suspicion of danger and damage, became a wretched actuality and the well known industry, was a seething mass of flame. . The Uniontown fire contingent got to the scene without any loss of time but their hose lines were futile, at the low pressure which prevailed at the hydrants there at that hour, and this condition prevailed for at least 20 minutes before the high pressure gates were turned and the full play and force of the water system was available to fight the flames, that by that time had fastened irresistably upon the property. Fire Chief C. E. Foster and his en tire department made the closest pos sible connection with the trouble and fought successfully to confine the fire to the point of origin. The absence of all wind aided materially in this, and though hot cinders blew over the city for a mile, in the upper currents of air. being found as far east as Fourteenth street, they were cold and harmless when, and where, they fell. The losses are given at $16,000, with insurance at $4000; and the cheerful word is out that the com pany is studying the situation closely with a view to the earliest possible resumption of the business; though some time will naturally elapse be fore the new plans are perfected and put in operation. There was a rumor abroad to the effect that the company had not maintained a night watch at the plant, but this is dissipated at once by the declaration of the proprietors that for month they had had a care The district schools at Warrenton Spikiiiton, lluminoild and Seaside t k a . opened yesterday lor the autumn term and reports show that the in itiul .attendance Is quite large in most of the schools. i lie sKipanon school marts out with an attendance of 30. Miss Myrtle Porter is tlx teacher, and she follows Miss Huss who taught in the Skipanon district for eight years Miss Porter holds a state diploma and it is expected she will uphold the high standard set by her predeces sor. Nearly every year Miss Huss had a graduating eighth grade class, which is apparently a good record for a school in the country. R. H Abbott is the clerk of the Skipanon district and the directors are S. F. Smith, W. I. Morrison and William Chadwick...A flag has been secured, in accordance with the law, and flagpole will be raised. At the Warrenton school J. T. Lee is the teacher, with Mrs. McCready as assistant. At Seaside J. W. Branstator is in charge of the school. A . it . t nammonu ueorge uetners is in charge. Miss Warren, county superintend ant, has returned from her trip to Salem, where she went to attend the State convention of countv suoerin- tendants. Miss Warren says the convention was a very interesting one and many profitable discussions were brought out on problems that confront the superintendants. ' WE IS FORGING 111 AHEAD FAST N The French bark Neuilly, Captain Flock, which entered port from Ho- bart on Sunday last, left up for Port land yesterday on the hawsers of the Oklahama, along with the barkentine Americana to balance the tow. The German bark Henriette, Cap tain Sauermilch, here from Guayquil, Ecuador, crossed in on Sunday last after and uneventful trip up the coasts, and will go on to Portland on the towlines of the Harvest Queen today. The French bark La Rochejacque lin, Captain Durand, 84 days from Newcastle, Australia, entered port yesterday, after a trip significant for nothing but fair weather almost too fair as to winds, and will go on to Portland to load wheat for Europe. ' The British tramp steamship Beach- ley came in from Tacoma on Sunday last and proceeded to Portland, where ful industrious man in this service, The Kamm flagship Lurline was one wj,0 never 4TZk nor neglected down last evening with a fair string hj9 duties indeed, he was on watch of business, and left upon time with that njht tne firc breaking out i a number of passengers bound for within the verv hour of his departure from home. Three extramen in the lire service were slightly hurt during the work they were doing in the yard, to-wit: Ole Nelson, Paul Marion and Al Davis being each bruised up in the exigencies of the moment, but' none seriously nor for any length of time. During the progress of the fire the dock' on which the shingle-bolts were piled, collapsed, precipitating a lot of material to the flood tide below and which was distributed far and near along the water front, to the exceed ing gratification ot the skiit salvors all along the line. It was well to ward noon before the last of the ap paratus was wound in and sent to its station. The, whole affair was bad enough, but in cases -of fire that is checked up sharply and successfully, there is always the consoling condit ion that it might have been infinitely worse.
