OCEAN, BAR,
BAY,
Notwithstanding the wires from
North Head went down. early in the
storm game of yesterday morning,
there remained the wireless station
on Smith's Point to relieve the strain
.of silence, and last evening at 7:30
o'clock, the followng report from
North Head was registered at the
United Wireless station on that
point, by Operator "Fuzzy" Feralnd;
"Wind, northwest; blowing 35 miles
an hour; weather, cloudy; bar, rough;
and barometer, rising rapidly."
This was the only weather message
received from the Head yesterday,
and the Astorian is under obligations
to Mr. Ferland for its text.
He also reported that he had spok
en to the steamship Watson from San
Francisco to Seattle off Cape Falcon,
at noon, and she was making good
headway, but had heard nor seen
nothing of the Roanoke, due in this
port ,
At 7 o'clock last evening the United
Wireless picked up the Roanoke, then
off Yaquina Head, and making good
time in a rough sea and giving word
that she would dock here this morn
ing at 7 o'clock.
The gale did no especial damage at
either the United Wireless station or
" North Head. At the latter place the
wireless man had some trouble with
his "rat-tail" attennae, but aside from
this the station was intact.
Captain Bob Jones brought the
Delia in at midnight on Sunday from
the Nestucca country, laden as usual
with a full cargo- of cheese. The
-"pup" acted nobly in the howling gale
of the hour, and retains her record as
one of the smallest and best sea
boats on the Pacific coast. Her mas
ter complains that he had a narrow
shave in passing the end of the Gov
ernment jetty, which, being unmarked
at night by any light whatever, is a
menace to coast navigation, for craft
like his, and even larger, as there is
always plenty of water off there, but
no light to serve against the chance
of getting in too close. He says he
came in by aid of the phosphorescent
lights that play over the submerged
rocks that lie beyond the jetty-head
and with which he is intimately fa
miliar, but the danger lies in the ap-j
proach to the spot, which should be
guarded by some distinct light. j
' The derelict steamer Minnie E. Kel-1
ton still lies submerged at the east
erly end of the O. R. & N. docks.

barge close to her, to expedite her
removal when the weather subsides.
He will employ the Kern and Samson
in the work of raising her and towing
her to the beach above Tongue Point.
(There she will be lightered of every-
thing and taken to Portland for com
plete repair, after which it is expected
she will serve in the rock-barge fleet,
The Callender steamer Wenona,
now serving the Gray's River Navi
gation Company, between this city
and Gray's River points, started out
yesterday in the midst of the big
blow, but when she got to the beacon
on the channel sands, Captain Hull
deemed it the better part of expe
diency to turn back to his dock and
remain there. The seas broke clear
over the stout little craft and it took
all the skill on board to keep her
headed into it, and then some to se
cure her hangs and life boats.
The .steamer Lurline was doing
business at the old stand last night,
without any signs of the gale on her.
She went up at her usual hour, boar
ing the following passengers from
this city: W. H. Sellwood, J. R. Mc
Alpine, Attorney Snelling, of Cath
lamet (who came over for an hour's
business run), L. O. Loomis of Nah
cotta; Geo. Aiflet, George Powlan, H.
E. Warren, Mrs. F. W. Sykes and J.
T. McDonald. ,
The handsome S. F. & P. liner
Rose City entered port yesterday
morning early and docked at the O.
R. & N. piers. She had 159 passen
gers on boardand only a "baker's
dozen" down to breakfast. She rough
ed it all night off the bar and entered
as soon as her master could pick up
his range-lights through the mist and
flying scud. She was very light, and
this made her roll for all she could
stand, j
A couple of big barges, one belong
ing to the Callender Navigation Co.,
and the other to Mr. Stangland, got
adrift yesterday at the height of the
blow and went on a jamboree up
among the George and Barker net
racks around the Booth cannery, do
ing some considerable damage to
boats and racks before they were
"snubbed" into shape and made fast
again.
The fine little cannery tender
North Star belonging to the Alaska
Fishermen's Packing Company, of
this city, went the length of her
mooring lines during the gale yester
day, morning, ahd might have raised
all sorts of a row if they had snapped,
but they held her, and she was soon
warped back to her berth.
The British ship Donna Francesca,
anchored off Tongue Point, dragged
her hooks around considerably yes
terday morning, and was checked up
with stream anchor before she got in
to any trouble ,with : the rocky, bot
toms up that way, and will be hauled
back to her,
The British steamship Romford was
still in the lower harbor at last ac
counts, not having gone to sea, on
the score of a heavy bar.

morning, and will have to be over

There, .was a lively time down
about the netracks of the big Union
Co-operative Cnnnrry. yesterday
morning during the blow, nearly a
dozen of the fishboats"harbored there
being smashed more or less in the
Hurry, and the net-racks badly dis
turbed. .
Down at the westerly end of the
city yesterday morning the seas broke
clear over the railway tracks of the
A. & C. and for a time it was thought
the road-bed would be seriously dis
turbed, but things moderated before
it came to that pass.
The steamer Alliance was among
the get-aways from this port early on
Sunday morning and as she went
over the bar she must have run
squarely into the teeth of the nor
wester, but she is a stout boat and
made it all right to Coos.
T!'j steamship Breakwater ( came
in on time Sunday morning from
Coos waters, and proceeded on to
the emtropolis. Nothing in the shape
of a nor'wester can disturb. Captain

The fine oil tank steamship W. S.
Porter entered port on Sunday morri

her tanks for Portland delivery.
The oil tank steamer Col. E. L.
Drake came down the river on Sun
day, bound for the California coast,
but there is no word at hand of her
having left the lower harbor as yet.
' The steamer Falcon came down
from the metropolis on Sunday after
noon and went to sea on the evening
of that day, San Francisco bound.
WOULDPAYTHEMAYOR
A PROPER SALARY
CHINOOK NEWSPAPER HAS A
TIMELY AND INTERESTING
ARTICLE ON SUBJECT. ;
The Chinook Observer in its issue
of last week has an editorial article
pertaining to Mayor Wise and the
question of paying the Mayor of this
city an annual salary. The article is
an interesting one and worthy of
reading by all. It follows, in part:
The Astorian is authority for the
statement that Mayor Herman Wise,
who has served two terms in Astoria
with credit to himself and those who
placed him in oince, does not want
the mayoralty again unless there shall
be rational compensation attached to
it, in order to cover the unavoidable
personal expense incident to it. ,,
The above is timely, and neceST
sary declaration from Mayor Wise,
and it should be seriously considered
by citizens and taxpayers who desire
capable and conscientious men to
serve them. The Astorian comes
nobly to the support of Mayor Wise's
utterance. " Mr. Wise as a merchant
and public-spirited citizen is more
widely known than any citizen on the
lower Columbia river. He is a man
who throws his whole soul into his
wort, whether there is pecuniary com
Jensation attached to it or not. He is
generous to a 'fault, both with his
time and his money, and he knows
the value of time and money better
than 99 men in 100. He has occupied
many positions of public trust, always
done his duty, and never a suspicion
of wrong-doing was ever entertained
or expressed. He has served the peo
ple, at a loss in a public capacity, and
it is no surprise that he makes the
above declaration when requested to
accept a renomination for an office
that is expensive and pays no salary.
There is a good deal of the "bum"
spirit in the public mind regarding
the compensation of officials, charges
for work done, and time and material
furnished. Many who roar loudly for
low prices and applaud gratuitous
public services are very exorbitant in
their demands when their personal
services or material are : required.
These persons are generally found
among that class who shout "graft"
the loudest, ? and are only satisfied
when some man, who is willing to
serve for the "honor", of the place,
volunteers to serve the public without
charge. They would starve benovo
lence to death and then kick the vic
tim for being a fool. It may be set
down as good doctrine that' a man
who offers' his time and services to
the public gratis is a . grafter, and
those who accept such services are
also grafters, and the surest way to
cultivate and increase the grafter class
is to starve all the honesty out of
men by refusing to pay public serv
ants just and adequate compensation.

the man for this $95 a month job Mian
there is in the campaign for the presi
dency. '.' . ."(''' ! -'-'
Thus far the Republicans have the
announced candidacies all- to them
selves. Tom Loughery, John Welch,
Mr. Steffensen and Mr, Sherman, all
of whose candidacies have been an
nounced, are Republicans, and yester
day Mr. Kearney, the . incumbent,
when asked by a representative of the
Astorian if he will run again, did not
exactly deny the soft impeachment.
Mr. Kearney is also a Republican and
it is probable that he will be a factor
that all others will have to figure on
pretty stiffly. But the Democrats are
said to be only biding their time. They
are figuring how best to run wheth
er as Democrats or as non-partisam
for this occasions. That there will be
others in the field is said to be high
ly probably.
i Dr. Henderson, member of the
Common Council, said last night in
response to a query that he will not
be a candidate for re-election Dr.
Henderson's voice and activities in
the Council will be missed, as he has
shown himself one of the men willing
and anxious to work and to under
stand the various municipal questions
as they arose. In a few days the As
torian hopes to be able to present a
complete list of the member of . the
present council who will run again,
or who will voluntarily withdraw to
private life. Several are apparently
deliberating on the course they will
pursue. '
Councilman George Kaboth, elect
ed last time as the councilman at
large, stated last night in response
to a query that he will again be a
candidate, and many of Mr. Kaboth's
friends will be glad to learn that he
is' to run again. Mr, Kaboth ; has a
host of friends, and like Dr. Hender
son he has been one of the safe and
valuable members of the municipal
ity's governing body.
A second man to permit his candi
dacy to be announced last night was
Mr. Stangeland, who among his
friends has been looked upon as one
of the safest men in the present
council. Mr. Stangeland said that
he has been asked to be a candidate
again, and that while he is not anx
ious to force himself into the matter,
he is willing to stand for a two-year
term.-. .
Aside from Councilman Lienenweb
er, whose candidacy has already been
announced, authentic information of
the attitude of most of the other
councilmen is not yet announced for
publication. ;
BIG
PILE. DRIVER IS
1111 ASHORE
BELONGS TO L. LEBECK AND
WAS BEING TOWED UP
THE RIVER.
' The news was brought over to this
city last night that Lcander Eebeck's
piledriver had been driven on the
north shore and virtually lost. The
high winds threw the big mechanism
up on the shore and it listed so badly
that the engines and other mechanism
vere lost overboard, or else damaged
more or less. ... ''
The piledriver was being towed up
the river to Altoona on the lines of
the launch Teddy Roosevelt. The
high wiuds and rough waters proved
too much for the launch to handle the
great unwieldy piledriver and, ac
cording to the statements made last
night, it was forced up on the shore.
Mr. Lebeck came back to the city
last night. ' , ' !
The pile driver is a costly bit of
mechanism, but whether much pf its
machinery .may be saved is not
known. Much will depend, of course
on its location as regards the depth
of water, and'the like.
