She was in charge of Captain Andrew Johnson and he brought her to her berth in excellent style. She had big list of passengers awaiting her tnd they were made comfortable on board the steamer for the night, the severity of the storm warranting Captain Johnson in declining to risk his vessel, passengers and freight in such bliizardly weather. She will leave up stream at 6 o'clock this morning. Among her passengers are Joseph Phillips, James Hanaford, G. McNally. W. F. Davis, Mrs. E. B. Whissels, S. ,Slingerland and Alex Sunshcimrr, Yesterday morning the ' steamer Ocklahama . started,,, up from , this port with the British fhip Carmanian and the American schooner William Bowden on her tow lines, but the pressure of the nor'eaMer was too much for her and the Carmanian was taken over by the bar tug Wallula which towed her as far as Skamo kawa, and from ther the Ocklahama picked ber up and proceedd alright up stream. The gale of yesterday forced th? government steamers Patrol. Electro and Major Ctrf""'Tfoward o take refs( in Young's Bay; an unusual proceeding in old Astoria, but their be'rthes were churned into a wild sea that amply justified the move. The Electro smashed some of her hous ing before she got away and the Pa trol just missed it by a scratch. The storm of yesterday made it im possible for the'Gray's River liner Wcnona to make it back to this city, and Captain Hull telephoned over that he would lay up on the north- shore until the gale subsided. He had not come over late last night and will probably dock here this morning if-things are a little easier. The steamer Cascades, from San Francisco, was of the few bottoms that crossed in yesterday. She went to the Callender dock and discharged a lot of local freight, leaving up the river at 3 p. m. As the towing steamer Lottie, of the Hammond fleet was approaching ITongue Point yesterday morning with a tow of logs she caught the full force of the nor'easter and lost her tow, most of the loga heading in un der the winward of the Tongue where they will soon be rounded up and re rafted. At 7:30 o'clock last evecing Oper ator Ferland in charge of the United Wireles at Smith's Point, picked up the oil tank steamship Col. E. L. Drake then ot Tillamook Head, bound from San Francisco to Seattle, with all well on board and making fair progress against the nor-easter. The steamer Sue II. Elmore arriv ed down yesterday , from Portland, with a heavy cargo of general mer chandise, and departed hence for Til lamook at 3 o'clock, with a full pas senger list, including John B. Geisy, of Bay City, and W. S. Rockhill the well known Portland drummer. lhe gasoline stoop Condor came in from Waldport yesterday, with Captain G. W. Adams in command She went on up the river after regis' tenng her arrival at the custom house. The Portland-Astoria liner Numan- tia left down yesterday morning at 1 1 o'clock and will be in these waters this morning to start out on her long trans-Pacific voyage. She has an immense cargo for Hong Kong and Shanghai The steamer Argo will leave Port land this afternoon for Tillamook and will probably go to sea tomorrow morning as early as possible.

Watch Whose Windows for Bargains? aterman' The following p.ertinent comment on the necessity for the experting of the municipal books is from the pen of one of the heavy taxpayers of this city and county, and speaks for itself in terms so plain the Astorian will leave it free of added comment for fear of spoiling it: - January 5, 1909, Editor Astorian: Your remarks this morning concerning the matter of experting the city accounts are pertinent. The examination is not needd to see whether additions have been correctly mad e and columns balance, but whether there was au thority for every warrant drawn and it paid out of the proper fund. "The notion has gotten into the mind of some that a considerable portion of delinquent streets assess ments have been paid out of other than street funds and at the expense of the general taxpayer. , "The Mayor yesterday called atten tion to the fact, that $230,000 is the limit placed by the statute on the city's indebtedness and that the net indebtedness now is $187,494.60. "What is net indebtedness in a public corporation? "In the auditor's report credit is taken for $66,200 real estate. What real estate? If worthless lots that the city has taken for street work that no on else would have, then the item is not correct and should be stricken off the accounts. If it includes the city hall and en gine house it should be stricken off, because it is not intended they shill used for paying taxes or any indeb tedness. "That would make the city indeb tedness then $253,694.60. There are two other items in the asset account that are of doubtful value, one is $12,135.73 taxes due. As the tax collections have all been made how can any be due exceot worthless delinquencies. Should not this item be stricken off and the "in debtedness increased in similar amount. How much of the other item of $39,98422 is good Verily is an examination needed that all the fact may be known. The remedy cannot be surely prescribed till the disease is known. If the citT is beyond its legal indebtedness let the council and the taxpayers know it. "TAXPAYER." PERSONAL MENTION . Mrs. C. E. Wilson, wife of the N.
