The steamship Senator arrivel
down from Portland at midnight on
Christmas, Saa Francisco bound,
with over 200 passenger and a hold
full of general freight On the way
down she caught the full fury of the
gale which prevailed here lor the
first eight or tea hour of the holi
day, and her steering gear went out
of service under the stress, the bin
ship becoming unmanageable and
smashing into the dock of the Kiev
tnhansen Cold Storage plant at Al
toona. 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

LAST SESSION OF YEAR AND
MANY THINGS OF IMPORT

The regular meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce at 7:30 o'clock to
morrow night is not only the last ses
sion of the year but the last before
the annual election of officers which
takes place on the next meeting following.
It has been proposed in certain
quarters that a board of directors
should be appointed or elected for
the ensuing year which would necessi
tate some slight change in the organi

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.

his employment really modern.
