Elmore will depart for Tillamook Bay points this morning early, if all eoes well with her. and she has recent nor'easter. The Columbine is likely to come down at any time. The steamer Enreka left down from good list out for both decks and all J Portland yesterday morning at 7 cabins. First Officer Wickstrom will o clock, for this port and Eureka, Cal. lay off this trip on account of a sprained foot, a boil on his neck and a badly cut hand, which would seem to be enough to warrant the vacation. Imagine an old sailor with all those things to add to the sweetness of his temper; but "Charlie" is pretty good natured with the triune bunch, al right! . Word was received in this city yes terday by wire announcing the total loss on Tuesday last of the fine new steam schooner Sybil Marston, which was in this port about three weeks ago, and which went benee to Gray's Harbor for a cargo to San Francisco. She was bound south from that me tropolis to the southern coast of California and went ashore near San ta. Barbara, resulting .in complete wreck and the loss of two lives. De tails will reach here later., , ; At 7:30 o'clock last evening Opera tor Ferland of the United Wireless station on Smith's Point, in this city picked up the' old steamer Rosecrans then 105 miles to the south'ard of the Columbia. Winds light : north to northeast, and a smooth sea running at the time. She expects to be off the bar at 6:30 o'clock this morning, bound in for this port and Port land. ' : . A bill of sale, for the hull of the steamer Myrtle recently purchased by the Callender Navigation Com pany, of Nels P. Nelson, of Prosper, Coos county, was filed at the custom house here yesterday, the purchase price being named at $1. The Armeria and the Columbine are both at the metropolis and will probably stay there until the river is more placable. The Armeria will have considerable to do in the way of re She should be down this morning. The steamers Nome City, Washte naw and Asuncion, comprise the last fleet to ascend the river, and it is supposed they are in port up on the Willamttte this morning. This trav eling 100 miles inland may have its compensations, but they are very re mote at this particular season, all the same. The steamer Alliance was on the schedule dot yesterday, as she usual ly is, no matter what other ships may do. If there is any way for her to get in and out of port, she gets there right along. She brought up from Coos about ten tons of freight for this port and after docking it at the Callender, went on up the river. The O. R. & N. river fleet is ice bound and under repair at its home- port up the Willamette. The Harvest Queen and the Hassalo are both on the ways having certain essential things done to them, and the Potter and the Ocklahama are tied up at the company's docks there. The French bark Armen is the next foreign bottom, wheat laden for Eu rope, to come down the river, for despatch from here, and she will have to wait the disappearance of the ice in the river before anything can ven ture to tow her down. Ihe steamship Breakwater was to have left down . last evening at o clock for Astoria and Coos Bay points, and if all goes well with her and the ke does not get too thick, she ought to be here fairly early this morning. The Major Guy Howard of the En gineers' Department service here, OREGON DAY FULLS 01 FEBRUARY 14 fcTATE UNIVERSITY SENDS OUT SUGGESTED PROGRAM FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, The Astorian is in receipt of communication from the University of Oregon at Eugene suggesting program for Oregon day in the pub lic schools. Oregon day falls on Feb ruary 14, which is the 50th anniver sary of the admission of the State into the Union. The act admitting Oregon was passed February 12th and signed by the President February 14, 1859, Inasmuch as the Hth falls on Sunday this year, it is suggested that the exercises be held on Friday, February 12th, and that the centenary of Lincoln's birth be commemorated in the same exercises. This program was prepared by the departments of history and education as follows: Song, "Oregon" (Oregon Teachers' Monthly, September, 1908).

Petersen built and named the "Modern" barber shop, he meant that it should stand for what it was called. No patron has missed a single feature ot tne modern ton sorial parlor ct that house; and every new device in the way of perfect comfort and service is constantly add ed as it develops. The latest is as expert bootblack, the best la the business; a qualification that makes his employment really odern.

It might be called a "re actionary measure," offered as an ef fective means of putting a stop to that form of legislation which is inspired solely to proomte the self-interest of stock owqing legislators and their friends. It would probably shock the sensi bilities of the unsophisticated if they knew the inside of certain legislative deals in the past that have invol ved local corporations.- Congression al inquiries and investigations have fre quently disclosed that members of Congress were holders of stock in corporations here and elsewhere, and particularly in concerns whose inter ests would be affected by Federal leg islation. This may to a certain extent explain why residents of the District of Columbia have put up such a deter mined fight to obtain reform legis lation affecting the Washington Gas light Company or either or both of the two local traction companies. To the average Washingtonian accustom ed to rebuffs in the legislative halls there always appears to be guiding the opposition the hand of some self- promoting legislator. And, moreover, the evidences in view scemi to just ify this suspicion.

A tidy sum that, to be made from a lawyer's salary. ' ; Concerning his investments, the distinguished Marylandcr differed in only one respect from his stock-hold-ng colleagues. He cared not a ink er's mite who knew that he owned a corporation stock. Unless he had reasons other than that he feared dis closure, his name usually appeared as owner of the stock. Now in this day of reform your modern lawmaker has learned wisdom. He is highly sensitive of criticism, and when the finger of public scorn points his way he usually in the language of the American small boy, "beats it." In short, he prepares for pit-falls by putting his stock hold ings in the name of a secretary or clerk. Knowing this, Representative Sims has worded his proposed meas ure so as to relieve secretaries . ana clerks of this proxy duty, Since imposing sentences of impris onment ' of the three Tabor leaders, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, Justice Daniel T, VVright, of the District Sup reme Court, has come in for a lot of abuse. This abuse has come in the form of anonymous letters, some of them hinting at assassination. To guard Justice Wright against any personal violence, the local police authorities, unknown to the Justice, have assigned a plain-clothes man as a protector. Since rendering his decision, Justice Wright has received a bushel basket of threatening letters, but he is not apprehensive of any personal danger. When he opens a communication and sees It is of anarchistic tenor, he throws it into a waste pepcr basket. Each day since the terms of the deci sion were made known, he hat found his desk at the court house covered with these anonymous letters, some of them written on wrapping paper and telegraph blanks. One letter recent ly received reads, in part, as follows: "Your name should be Justice Wrong. Your decion in the Bucks Stove "and Range Company case will prove to be a very unhealthy affair for you before we are done with you. The undertaker will have a job down your way before many moons, and you will be the chief mourner." This letter was signed Nuf Sed. and was dated Chicago. Another letter came from a man in Massachusetts, who said he would be in Washington in about five days intent on killing Justice Wright. While this letter. like the others found resting place in the waste basket, it was thought ad visable to give the Justice police pro tection. Something New, Something Good ..

Senator Knox, who will in a few weeks become secretary of state lis the possessor of one accomplish ment ol which he is reputed very proud.: It is the ability to remember people, to recall their names, and to recollect how he met them. Another Senator who has this faculty to a re fmarkable degree it seemed as if he knew: everybody in Washington by name.' He is also a particularly good mixer," and when the Press Club was organized here last year he be came an associate member. Senator Dolliver is another who is widely known is having this art down to a fine point, almost as much so as had the late Secretary Blaine, about whose ability to remember the faces nd names of men many stories are told. Most of the elder statesmen pay no attention to such frivolities as speaking to plain people. Senator Hale, of Maine, enjoys the reputation of being the most frigid lawmaker alive. He rarely speaks publicly to any person of a rank below that of a member of Congress. Even his more sober-minded colleagues regard his attitude toward the public as some thing like that of an icicle .. But the newest class of statesmen, inspired perhaps 'by the live realiza tion of the restriction which primary laws impose on public careers, are not above vicing with each other in cul tivation of their faculty for making friends.
