' , ii OCEAN, BAR, BAY, DOCK AND RIVER The leading marine event of the day, yesterday, was the arrival in this port of the four vessels assigned to , the lighthouse service of the , 13th district, from San Francisco, the lighthouse tender Manzanita; light ships Nos. 88 and 93, and the relief lightship No. 92, This increases the dis trict fleet to five fine tenders in this port, beside one relief ship which will berth here during seasons of non-service. The Manzanita is a handsome craft of the general ap pearance of the tender class, though her housing differs a bit from those with which she is now grouped. She is of the following dimensions Length, 1734 feet; beam, 30 feet, and depth, 16 feet. She is of 677 tons gross, and 300 net, and of 900 indicated horse-power and was built in 1908, at Camden, New Jersey. The lightships are all of the same pat tern, and dimensions, as follows, No. 88, being of 488 tons gross and 246 tons net; with a length of 112.9 feet, beam, 29 feet; and depth, 153 feet; with 37S indicated horse power, and was built at Camden in 1907; and Nos. 92 and 93, being of identical measurements, as follows: Gross ton nage, 477, and net, 225 tons; their length, beam and depth being the same as No. 88; and both were built at Quincy, Mass, in 1908. Captain Charles F. Pond, U. S. N, command ing the 13th lighthouse district, ar rived down last night on the late train, and will board the Armeria this morning at 7:30 o'clock for a run to the buoy station to inspect the new comers and make the orders essential in the premise. The steamship Roanoke arrived in from the California coast yesterday morning and docked at the Callender. Captain Dunham was ill in his state room and the ship was under com mand of First Officer Black. Captain Dunham's ailment' still has to do with his lungs, and his friends are quite anxious about him. It is said that he will seek rest and treatment at some congenial resort and take a complete relaxation from all work and duty. His ship is on her last voyage for at least three months to come, and he- will have a good oppor tunity to recuperate and pay the proper attention to himself. The Roanoke goes to, the Risdon Iron Works when she gets back to San Francisco, and will be fitted with a new bank of boilers before she does any more sea duty. She will return , down from Portland on Sunday morning next and leave out from the Callender dock at 6 o'clock on that morning, for the Bay City only. Captain Charles T. Bailey, of the bar tug Tatoosh, has returned to this city from his trip to San Francisco and Fuget Sound, whither he went to take the fine ocean tug Goliath to her new sphere of action, Taconia, where she will serve the interests of the Puget Sound Towing Company. The steamer Sue H. Elmore has arrived down from the metropolis and will get away over the bar this morning, for Tillamook Bay points. with a good passenger list and plentv of freight. The steamer Bee, powder laden for Vancouver, came in from Sin Fran cisco yesterday but did not dock here. She went on up stream at 2 o clock, with her explosive cargo, destined for the "North Bank" Railway. The Argo was expected down yes terday, outward bound for the Tilla mook country but she did not show up. up to a late hour last night She will probably be here this morning. The steamer Alliance came in on her usual schedule run from Coos, with plenty of business, and after stopping at the Callender to put off a small batch of freight, left np stream. The steamship Breakwater (and her whistle) was among the departures outward yesterday, bound for the Coos country. The British steamship Yeddo is due in this port on Sunday morning next and will load np river with lum ber for Australian delivery. The S F. & P. steamship Rose City is due at the O. R. & N. piers at mid night, on her way to San Francisco, and will leave out immediately. WE NEVER HAD A BETTE OF SPRING AND SUMMER HART, SCHAFF J Than we have in stock.

Elmore does not exhibit any serious results from her recent collision with the steamer Sarah Dixon, in the "harbor" of Portland. The steamer Eureka was one of the up-river craft to reach this port yes terday, bound for the California oort of that name. It is said the Portland-Asiatic liner Arabia is two or three days overdue at San Francisco, en route for this port and Portland. il-OillE IS DMSTIC OIE PROPOSED LAW PROVIDES FOR REVOCATION OF SALOON LICENSES. Councilman Curtis yesterday call ed upon the city attorney and re quested him to prepare an ordinance which, if made law, will add another burden on the shoulders of the sa loonkeepers. This proposed ordinance will pro vide that in the event any saloon keeper is convicted of keeping his place open in violation of the Sunday closing laws, his license shall stand revoked, in addition to any fine that may be imposed. The city charter already provides such licenses shall be deemed re voked upon conviction of several misdemeanors, viz., selling wilfully to minors, selling to drunken men, keep mg a "nuisance" or a "disorderly" Subscribe to the Morning Astorian 50 cents per month by carrier. r JUST ARRIVED Ladies' Tailored Waists ....$1,50 White Dress Linen..

Of course. 75 out of 100 buyers don't know the difference when such meat is cut uo and laid out on the counters. Ask your doctor if that kind of meat is wholesome. There is just as great a difference in the quality of meats as dry goods, dress goods, or anvthinir you wear; but you should be more particular what you eat. The best can always be had at the place, but no provision is made for the revocation of the licenses in case of the open saloons on the Sabbath, and it is this breach that Mr. Curtis will now endeavor to fill up. Presumably such an ordinance will meet with favor among the other councilmen, providing it be a com prehensive one. If the ordinance is made to compel a revocation onlv. on conviction in police court it might possibly be of little use, and might even be harmful. The charter in the four cases cited above provides for the revocation in case of conviction in police court or circuit court, and it would seem as if the proposed new ordinance would be best if made the same. At present the police ignore the laws in relation to the saloons. If the city Sunday closing law was made much more severe by adding a revocation clause th, police might then be even more reluctant to make arrests, because then the punishment would be so much the greater on the saloon men thus putting a premium on the shuttlecock game that has al ready obtained between the police IETS JIT BANQUET 684 Commercial St. and sheriff's office. But of course if the revocation clause is made opera tive in case of conviction in either court, the sympathies of either de partmcnt could not be so easily play ed upon, perhaps. No leading citizen appeared before the grand jury in direct relation to the saloons, according to the state ments of those who ought to know, A certain package was left for safe keeping in one of the banks, and probably testimony , was given to trace and identify this package, but only the grand jury and those who left it in the bank know what it con tained. It is just such domineering talk that has raised the temper of the people to its present pitch. few of the saloon men in a certain part of the city don't seem to realize that the time has gone by in Astoria when their threats and villification will be stood for, and it is just such men, and they alone, who are con stantly causing trouble for the decent saloon men, and bringing the busi ness into disrepute. Decent saloon men aaginst indecent divekeepers is one issue that will have to be set tled right, unless Astoria is to be a "dry" town in a mighty short time. CITY OF ASTORIA'S MER. CHANTS AND EMPLOYES ASSEMBLED LAST NIGHT Last evening at 9 o'clock there as sembled in the Occident dining room in this city, the officers and members of the Astoria Retail Grocers' As sociation, with President C. M. Matthews in the chair, and about 60 of the guild at the handsomely deco rated and bountifully burdened tables about him. It was the annual con vention of the association and the guests of the evening were the clerks land brokers interested in the mimer- ,011s house in this city. The affair was dispatched with xest and plrasurahje map and the three hours devoted to the elegant spread and to the busi ness and incidental enjoyment of the (evening were in no seme wasted. J Frank J. Carney acted as toast- master of the occasion, and hit clever bad was followed throughout a long and interesting scries of happy and suggestive toasts, each and all of which evoked speech after speech tilting admirably and accurately in the general scheme of the evening. There were grave discussions of busi ness; lighter comment, on the pleas tireable thing that marks the trade, and jokes and stories bristling with wit and fun and laughter; there were words of advice, analysis, suc- gestion and counsel, and all were re ceived with distinct appreciation by those to whom they fell as fact and recommendation. The assembly was wholly represen tative of the bu.lm-.i, as It exists In Astoria, nd all thai was said and done, was done for the good of the group that stands for its Immense investment in this city, as well as for the best interests of the ostrons of city and section, as these gentle men construed that interest, In con formlty with, and confirmed bv. their own; and to the younger element of the gathering, was an object lesson f value In all ways, while to the elders and the responsible heads of the business, it was a helpful and plrasing medium of exchange for the latest and best expedients for ad vancing and maintaining- the bnnlness at the highest standards of service and profit.
