The sad news was received at the
office of Acting British Vice-Consul
Cherry, in this city, yesterday, of the
loss of the British bark Fifeshire,
Captan Caddell, coal laden, and con
signed to S. Elmore & Company, at
this port. She was wrecked on the
Gilbert Islands in the South Seas,
and her' crew and officers were re
turned to Sydney. The Fifeshire
sailed from Newcastle, N. S. W., and
was fully insured. She was reported
out on August 3rd, last
, The steamship Roanoke came in
over the bar" at 7 o'clock yesterday
morning as he sent word she would,
the night before, via the wireless sta
tion on Smith's Point, and had 90
passengers on board, all more or less
disgusted with the sea and its storm
eccentricities! She left up for the
metropolis at .8 o'clock. Among her
items of cargo was 4 shipment k of
50,000 feet of hardwood timbers, for
Portland delivery.
; Harry Blanchard, the jolly purser
of the Lurline, is still confined to his
Portland home ; with his injured 'leg,
and it is said that unless he pays
pftrtcular attention to it, he is likely
to suffer more than can be antici
pated just at present. The bid wound
has opened and he is up against it in
good shape, or bad shape, as one,
especially he, may look at it
The fine German ship Albert
Rickmers is due down from Port
land today or tomorrow, en route to
San Francisco, where she will load
on lumber in addition to the big car
go of grain already in her hold. She
will then sail for Europe.

Mayor Wise 'announced yesterday
afternoon that he will not be' a can
didate for re-election for the office of
Mayor. This decision, he states, is
definite , and ;tnal, and it ; looks now
as if those who wished ,hun to run
agan will have to turn elsewhere for a
candidate.; , , , ,,;,,,... ,
Mayor Wise announced his deter
mination to a few friends and today
he will send a letter to each of the
men who have, signed the petitions
asking him to rim again stating the
decision he has reached in the mat
ter. While he does not give, any
reason for declining to make the race
again, it is probably true that, he
does so because he feels that he can
not afford to give the time and money
to the office for another term. That
Mayor Wise has spent much money
directly and indirectly during the
past two years, in indeavoring to up
hold the dignity of the city and to
advance 1 its welfare whenever he
could? is known to many.
While a considerable number of
citizens seemed willing and anxious
to amend the charter so that the
Mayor would draw a salary sufficient
to pay his expenses, yet no one took
hold of the matter so as to properly
get.it before the voters. The letter
that will be sent to the signers of the
petition reads as follows: 4
, "Your name appears on one of the
several petitions presented to me,
asking me to be a candidate for re
election as Mayor.
"I have given the matter my care
ful, consideration and have finally
come to the conclusion that I cannot
see my way clear to comply.
"However, my efforts shall still be
directed toward the advancement of
Astoria, though in a , commercial
rather , than , in the political field.
Plans are maturing for the establish
ment of a wholesale jobbing house
to supply the towns adjacent to As
toria, which will bring monej; to this
city heretofore sent to Portland,
Seattle and San Francisco. The
management of this enterprise will
take all of my time and energy.
"I therefore thank you most sin
cerely for your expression of conli
dence and good will, with the assur
ance that whenever I look upon these
petitions I shall gratefully remember
you and all of my friends.
"Hoping that you and yours may
always be happy and prosperous.
"Very faithfully yours,
"HERMAN WISE."
As indicated in the letter, Mayor
Wise is preparing to join in on a
plan to start a wholesale house here
to supply the stores in the numerous
small cities near Astoria. It is un
derstood that the arrangements to
do this, have been practically com
pleted, and this, with his present
business, will evidently give him all
the work he can readily take care of.
What effect Mayor Wise's refusal
to run again will have on the mayor
alty race can only' be conjectured.
His action leaves only one announc
ed candidate in the field, Mr. Berg-J
man, and as he is stated to staid for
policies that do not meet with favor
from a numerous . body of citizens
it is highly probable that some other
candidate, will be advanced. It is1
said to be probable that certain of
the leading citizens will take the
matter up for consideration.

Superintendent J. -McGuire bt the
Astoria' j& Columbia Railway has I
filed "a protest with board of equal!'
zation against the assessment on the
railway company's rolling stock, but
it is said to be highly probable that
no change .will be, made in the assess
ment as a result of the, company's ob
jection. It i further averred 'that
Mr. McGuire's protest, is perhaps due
to a misapprehension on his part,
and' ,an examination of the matter
tends to show that the assessment is.assssr?
ment is not too high, but that As
sessor Cornelius has assessed , too
much of the rolling stock.
The company submitted a state
ment to the assessor showing that
the cost value of the rolling stock on
the A. & C, was $252,952, and be
cause of depreciation in value from
natural wear and tear that it is now
worth $151,727. The company's roll
ing' stock.and rails are in three counr
ties." The law controlling such as
sessments provides that each county
shall assess rolling stock in the pro
portion that the number of miles of
trackage within the county bear to
the number of miles of trackage the
company has in the state. That is,
that the rolling stock shall be assess
ed in proportion to the amount of the
company's mileage that is within the
county. ;,' ;'-
Mr. Cornelius, the county assessor,
states that the assessment was made
strictly in accordance , with this
statute. ft?
The company has a total of ap
proximately 100 n)iles 6f line in the
state,' and of this total about 50 miles,
or one-haV,, are within Clatsop coun
ty, and .therefore the assessment
should be one-half of the value of
the "'foiling stock. Mr, "McGuire's es
timate' of the value of the rolling
stock is $151,722, and the assessment
is for $70,125, or a, little less than
one-half.
