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tivities, shall be withdrawn and leave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.'
S&ns of Herman
C. C. Utzinger has returned from
the metropolis where he was serving
as one of the Astoria delegates, along
with John Hahn, at the annual con
yention of the Sons of Herman, all
of last week Mr. Utzinger reports a
splendid session of the craft, and
that some very substantial work was
done in the up-Iift of the order.
Among other things, steps were tak
en to lay a safe predicate for th'e es
tablishment of a home for the aged
and dependent Sons. There was a
fine tim!e had by all present, among
whom,, from this city, may be named,
beside the foregoing gentlemen, Geo.

Electa Officers and Reorganize and
Arrange Matter.
'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

nie; secretary, John Nordstrom;

'Little Proapector" .
The Astoria theatre was again
well, filled Sunday night to witness
the performance of Frank King's
production of the "Little Prospector."
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.

"UNCLE JOSH PERKINS."
In presenting the celebrated com
edy drama, "Uncle Josh Perkins" to
the amusement loving public, it is
unnecessary to make an elaborate in
troduction, free from offensive horse
play and vulgarity, masquerading as
wit, yet full of wholesome fun and
delicate touches of pathos, the whole
pointing a healthy moral that makes
one feel the better for having seen it,
"Uncle Josh Perkins" is a play of
pastoral purity and intense interest
introducing 14 distinct and truthful
types of character interpreted by a
superb company who unfold with ar
tistic skill an American story of ab
sorbing charm and complication. The
engagement in this city is for one
night only at the Astoria Theatre,
