OCEAN, BAR,
BAY,
The steamship Breakwater came
into port yesterday morning about
4:03 o'clock, and blew the 'Adam's
apple out of her whistle all the way
up from quarantine ground; then she
tied up at the O. R. 4 N. pier and
laid there till well on toward noon,
before Captain Macgenn even
thought of pulling out for Portland.
The genial captain will "whust'e"
himself out of friends in this port if
he does not choice off that blithering,
blasted blast he indulges in every
time he reaches this harbor. We
know he is coming without all that
hullabaloo. He brought in big busi
ness from the Coos country.
The fine German steamship Alesia,
of the Portland-Asiatic line, entered,
this harbor on Sunday morning last
from Hong Kong, flying almost
light. She came direct," with only 50
or 60 tons of mixed cargo on board.
The Alesia is to make a special voy
age to Vladivostok with a cargo of
flour, and will then resume her run
in this service. She fet her way in
here Sunday morning, making four
tabs at it through the lifting and
falling fogs.

MAY SECURE JAPS
TO CLEAR LAND
Offer is Made to Clear Off the Stumpago for Use
of Soil on Free Lease.
At the regular meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce last night a
plan of colonwing Japanee Upon the
loggtd-off lands in the vicinity of
Astoria was introduced and it seem
ed to meot with instant favor from
some of the leading members of the
orgauiration. The manager of the
Chamber, , Mr. Whyte, had received
a letter from a Japanese In Seattle
inquiring if it would be possible to
lease such lands in this locality free
or cheaply, and asking that the mat
ter be presented to the Astoria
Chamber. Mr. Whyte replied to this
first leter and in turn received a sec
ond communication, which was read
last night, as follows:
"Dear Gentlemen:
"We receive your letter dates 4th,
will says reply that we can get many
partys for tease on the lands and to
clear stumps, and longing-outs. But
we ask you how far from Portland
City and how fa from railroad or to
wharf? and how many acres you has?
How long can you give lease? can
you build houses and can they get
water for living? and when can we
send partys to see lands? Pleas let
us know at once. We will furnish
promptly. We will send any time
any of the parties. Hoping you
kindly answer."
As far as can be judged from the
correspondence it is evident the Jap
anese are intimating that they wish
to get lands on a free lease providing
they clear them of the stumpage.
If that be the offer of the Japanese
who is doing the writing he is an
employment agent for his country,
according to his letterheads it
seems evident that many -owners of
logged-off lands will be glad of the
chance to consider the matter. More
than one man said at the meeting
last night that they could get all the
lands they may want free for just
as many years as they want them if
they will clear them of the stumps.
' The plan seems to offer unlimited
opportunities, though it may seem a
little bit odd that the Japs are writ
ing to Astoria from Seattle for such
an opportunity.
But there is another side of the
matter, which was fully recognized
by the gentlemen who were talking
last night. ' It may be taken as a
foregone conclusion that there will
be a mighty protest from a certain
part of the local population if the in
flux of Japs is brought about, but a'
the same time it is evident that such
a protest could avail the protesters
very little. The Japanese, it is said,
would compete with no one here, and
it is constantly pointed out with
much emphasis that the local men
who might be the first to voice a
strenuous objection to the importa
tion of Japanese laborers would be
the last to take up the work of
clearing the logged-off lands. It is
further pointed out that most of the
foreigners who are here do not take
kindly or naturally to the soil and
that in all the years since this sec
tion has been their habitation few of
them have gone into the woods axe
in hand, or have learned the use of
giant powder in blowing up stumps.
The sea and the river are their na
tural farms. Hence it is felt by the
owners of lands that it is imperative
that men. be invited here who will
take to the land and improve it. The
Chamber of. Commerce as an organ
ization will probably have little to
do with the matter, if it progresses
as is -now hoped, but will leave it
with the individuals who are direct
ly interested. In California Japanese
have taken up lands that were con
sidered virtually, worthless by many
of . the whites, and . have improved
them to a wonderful degree. - One
Japanese actually controlled the po
tato market of that ,state a year ago,
having raised an immense quantity
of the tubers on cheap lands.
"I have 200 acres up Young's
river," said one man last night, "and
a lot of it is the finest kind of tide
lands. I never have been able to get
anybody to lease it at any price, and
year after year I pay taxes on it. If
Japs want it on any reasonable terms
the can have it on long lease if they
improve it." '
Another important matter consid
ered last night was the Chautauqua
down near Delaura Beach. The Co
lumbia Trust Company, which owns
or controls the land, has offered the
use of a fine Chautauqua site, and
has formally agreed to construct an
auditorium, athletic grounds, a 'board
ing, house, to provide tents, and to
provide tenting grounds free, and to
'do all other necessary things in re
lation to the plan but asks in turn
that Astoria or some persons agree
to bring Chautauqua attaetions to
the grounds. The conventional Cha
tauqua programs ot entertainments
are usually very interesting and in
structive. . They are meant to be In
structive as well as entertaining
the educational idea, in one form or
another, usually being kept upper
most. To arrange such a program.
say for days, including the bringing
of various prominent speakers, will
cost probably upwards of $3000. To
raise this sum was the question. The.
Rev. Conrad Owen of the First Bap
tist church made a proposition to
the Chamber; first asking that it en
dorse the plan and appoint a board
of directors, and these things have
been done, Mr. Owen then agreed
to try to secure the necessary $3000
by selling 1000 season tickets at $3
each. The board of directors are to
retain in their hands the ordering
and extent of the ten days' pogram,
and if the program costs less then
the $3000 secured by Mr. Owen he is
to retain what surplus of cash there
is. If there is no surplus he gets
nothing. The Chamber accepted his
offer and voted to stand responsi
ble for the first $500. This apparent
ly assures the Chauauqua for next
summer, unless Mr. Owen fails to
sell the 1000 tickets at $3 each.
J. W. Welch brought up the ques
tion of appealing to Congress again
on the matter of deepening the bar.
Senator Fulton will be asked to do
what he can, and the manager, Mr.
Whyte, was requested to communi
cate with the various members of
the Oregon delegation in an effort to
secure their active interest.
Mr. Whyte showed the pennant
that was procured for presentation to
the fish warden's ship, the Astoria
and was requested to present it to
the craft.

great play, i worthy of the attention
it excites. MVn will ever differ In

brilliant use. It is difficult to con

from performances of "The Holy

pute its fact; humble sinners will
accept its teachings, and sanctified
Saints may gain instead of losing if
they absorb the play from the rising
of the curtain until it closes to view
the artist-author's dramatic and pic
