STATE FISH WARDEN III ASTORIA ON BUSINESS LOOKINO JNTO THE COURT STATUS OF HIS 72 CASES OTHER INTERESTS Master I-ish' Warden' II. C. McAl lister, of Oregon, arrived down from the metropolis on the noon express yesterday, to attend to a large accu 11111l.it iii1 of matters civil and criminal, tluit demand his personal attention He comes to be in at the preliminary worn in court wim regara 10 me it eases now pending on various chargca of illicit lisliitig, and these he will en deavor to have shaded up so that they may be ' prosecuted fully and finally, -if so be the injunction at present lying against his official ac tivities, shall be withdrawn and leave him a" clear field, in other words, if it be legally dissolved. In this be half he was busy with his staff of deputies all of yesterday, Messrs. Mack, Brown and Scttem. Warden McAllister ay that it is the intention of the department to abandon the Bonneviiie hatchery on account of the cost intending for the bringing of fresh water to the plant from a distance, which cannot be done for less than $5,000; and he is looking over the field down this way with a view of establishing a central hatchery, either over on Young's River, or at Wcstport. He proposes to erect a station on one place or the other, of such scope and plan as the Ontario hatchery, and may, in all liklihood, use the buildings there for the purpose, having them carefully dismantled and shipped down the river to such point as is finally se lected. He is quite well disposed to ward the Young's River location and it may be set up there. The new plant will cost in the neighborhood of $15,000, and the Legislature will be -ked to meet the situation generous ly when it assembles this winter. The Federal Government has turn ed over to the Oregon fisheries de partment 5,000,000 salmon eggs from the Cazadcro hatchery and they have been despatched to the Salmon Riv er station; from which there' has just been liberated 500,000 baby stcel heads which have been fed there for the past 12 weeks, and which are now two inches long. Warden McAllister's deputies re ported to him yesterday that there is practically no fishing whatever, on either side of the Columbia, between Astoria and the mouth of the Willam ette, not so much because of a de sire to await the issue of the injunc tion now pending in the business, as from the fact that there are no fish running at all; but the big silversides may change all that by the first of the coming month. ' Mr. McAllister will remain here over today in the interests of the de partment. ' Will Meet Tonight President William Ross, of the Astoria Civic Improvement League, announces that the semiannual meet ing of that body will be held ,at the parlors of the First Pfesbyterian church, on this, Tuesday, evening, the 22nd i ist., at which time all reports will be received and the election of cfikers will transpire.'

'What amounted to practically a re organization of the Netulem Coal Company, a well known industrial corporation of this city and county, transpired yesterday mornijig at 10 o'clock in this city; at which time the stockholder met in annual ses sion, and the affairs of the concern were gone over in detail, and with a general purpose to bring substance and harmony out of ""the confusion and loss that has characterized the history of the company for sometime past. The claim of Mr. M. S. Cope land was met by a mortgage covering (he range of her claim and she with- ffom organization The capital tock was abated to $.12,500, and all matters pending in court were withdrawn and settled upon prescribed and atrrecd term.

The piece was quite good,. and con siderable above the average popular price attraction and again showed Manager Hanlin's good judgment in the selection of companies. A leading feature of the "Little Prospector" was the scenic and electric effects, The company carried the complete production which was quite elaborate, especially the third act showing the "Chuck Luck" mine. The members of the company were all capable and gave a pleasing performance through out. The Imperial orchestra, the tat est of Manager Hanlin's . pleasing additions to the house, rendered good music between acts which was fully appreciated by the audience. Died Last Night At 8:30 o'clock last evening, at St. Mary's Hospital, where he had been under treatment for some time, for a deep-seated malady, Nicholas Dros toff, a resident of the Nehalem Val ley, and an ex-U. S. naval man, died. He had filed his declaration of inten tion to become a citizen of the coun try, a certificate to that effect being found among his papers. . It will de velop today what disposition will be made of his remains. Before The Council : Superintendent John McGuire, of the A. & C. Railway, and Attorney Harrison Allen, of Portland were in the city yesterday, having come down ot meet wth the Common Council last evening on the score of the new seawall matters, in which the A. & C. has very definite and exten sive interest. He Got The Match, Alright When Master" Fish Warden H. C. McAllister, got on board the A. & C. express yesterday morning at Port land, to, come, here, he sauntered into the "smoker" and immediately found himself in the midst of a bunch of drummers, of which he, erst, was one, and a live one. They hailed him with delight and he responded in kind. Settling himself down for a smoke he found he was without matches; this famine he announced and instantly a dozen hands with all kinds of fuseeS were extended, and he chose to take those held out by his old friend McMillan. He lit one and passed it up to his cigar-end, and just as the genial blaze began to "take" on the fragrant weed, there was an explosion that lifted th'e guileless Warden off his scat and his hat in .the ventillator shaft, and the cigar is still going. The boys yelled with delight, and the M. F. W. rose with a sad, sardonic grin, and saun tered back into the parlor car where the people knew how to behave thenrselves. The new trickmatch is a dandy, where it is not known. "The Devil" To Come Manager Frank Hanlin, of the As toria opera house, announces that after long and interesting corre spondence with Mr. Savage, the own er of the American rights of the great German society drama, "The Devil,", he can safely assure his pa tronsN that the play will be put on here this season and at as early a date as it can be brought out to the coast, and that due announcement will be made of its dates here.

Sept. 2l.-State Senator Everett Colby, the wealthy young lawyer of Orange, who for two years past has been a national political figure because of his aggres sive leader hip of the "New Idea" el ement in the Republican party in this state,1: will see the hottest campaign he has yet waged and tomorrow, when New Jersey will try a new system of direct primaries for( the first time.

Raymond are the aspirants for the republican nomination for enforcement , of th "Bishops" or the senator.
