The impact wrecked the re ceiving house and the dock office of the company, but luckily the main plant was left undisturbed. It is fig ured that damage will approxicate the sum of $4500. Captain Nopander filed a full report of the incident upon reaching the O. R. & N. dock here.' The ship suffered no breakage save one of her glass ports in the encoun ter. The Senator left out at high noon. The GsUeiider steamer Melville, while on her way home from Portland on Christmas morning early, caught the full force of the hard gale above Tongue Point, and the iron guys of her funnel snapped in the vicious wind. This caused her funnel to swing badly out of plumb, and wEien she was towed down later in the day, she looked as though she had been indulging a holiday humor similar to some folks ashore; and all of yester day Captain Jordan was busy with his crew putting the big black pipe in place. She also lost one of her an chors in the tussle with the high wind. Captain Jordan hopes to have the Melville in good order by the end of two weeks and at the farthest, three weeks; and when she does go back on duty she will be in prime condition. She is one of the crack boats of the port The fine American-Hawaiian steam ship Kebraskan was another arrival here yesterday, coming in from San Franciso at the same time the Numan tia crossed in. She was to have loaded a thousand or more cases of almon for the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company, here, at the A, k C. dock, but the stuff had been ship ped on to Portland, and she will take it on there, along with a lot more general merchandise. I The French bark Rene Kclivar, now in this port for orders, yesterday re ceived instructions to proceed direct to Sydney, Australia, there to load for Europe, and she will leave out at the first practicable moment This takes her out on the back track she followed up here, as she came from llobart Town direct to this port The British steamship Tweedale came in from the Bay City yesterdiy and went on to Portland direct On her way down she will berth at the Hammond Lumber Company's dock, where she will take on 1,500,000 lath. along with her big lumber cargo, and then depart for Australia. ' The fine oil tank steamship Rotni came down the river yesterday morn mg early and went to the lower har bor about noon to go out, but found the bar a bit too tempestuous and came back to the city, and will make another try this morning oa the early flood. ' The steamship Geo. W. Elder was one of the earliest departure from the port on Christmas morning. She carried a big load of general carg and about 90 passengers for Eureka, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The steamer Nome City was among the Christmas arrivals in this port, and after stopping for an hour at the Callender, went on to the metropoli to loaa lumber tor the return voyage. The big Asiatic liner Numantia ar rived, in over the bar yesterday more ing at 10 o'clock, from Hong Kong, via San Francisco, and went on to the metropolis about 2 o'clock p. m. The oil tank steamship W. S. Por ter entered port yesterday from the California Coast, and went on to Portland during the afternoon. The oil tank steamer Atlas entered port yesterday, and left up for Port land at once, under the pilotage of Captain Joe Turner. The steamer Lurline made it down in good time yesterday evening, and went out on schedule, with a big liit of passengers and plenty of way and through freight I ill 11 II CI Every year in the rush of Christmas shopping somebody whom you wanted to present with a gift has been forgotten If there is anyone whom you have over looked this is your opportunity.

This matter, however, is be fore the special committee appointed 11 Hi 60 If you are particular and want nothing but pure and wholesome meats, the kind that is guaranteed by '"Uncle Sam" you will trade with us.

It is proposed at tomorrow night's .session to pay considerable attention to plans and suggestions for the en suing year. Any one who desires to make a suggestion concerning the work for the coming year would es pecially be welcome at the meeting or if it is impossible for him to attend the suggestion may be sent in to the secretary in writing. It would teem that the plan for bringing up a bill before the State Legislature provi- ing for advertising funds would meet with special approval according to the letters which have been received from the members of the legislature. How ever, that may be if the matter U brought before the legislature it time to make definite plans now, n the session of the state law makers will convene before the first meeting in January. The Chamber of Commerce has had a personal inquiry concerning a very large tract of logged-off land which a company desires to clear and promote for fruit and walnut growing pur poses. It is said that the money is ready to take hold of this proposition and the land has already been secur ed in one solid tract and it may be that this will be the starting point of actual demonstration work in the logged-off land area upon a large and practical .scale. Some day it will be seen that any thing that will grow in the northwest will grow on these logged-off Iand3. As a matter of fact they are a much better soil than the logged-off lands that arc selling near Seattle for $1000 an acre and more. A unity and thought of purpose among the business men of Astoria for a year might accom plish wonders.
