The Lurline came down yesterday at 4 o'clock p. m., which is getting to be a custom of hers. She brought down about 30 passengers, among whom were Edward Joseph, from Al toona, and little Miss Alice Stryker, of Tacoma who came over from Ta coma to meet her father, Steward James Stryker, of the Lurline, and take a ride with him up and down the river. "Jimniie" was as proud as two or three fathers and both were enjoying things immensely. When the Lurline went up last even ing at 7, she had on board J. G. Al ger, and Miss A. Smith, as Portland passengers. The lines of the Lurline were hardly fast to the dock yester. day before there was a fire call, for practice and there were a lively few moments on board. coming within three days ot break- The schooner Lottie Benett ar rived down on the hawser of the Ock- lahama yesterday morning early from Westport, where she loaded at the mills of the Westport Lumber Com pany, and got away about two hours before the fire which destroyed that plant, broke out. She went to sea almost on the instant the tug Wallula picking her up as the Ocklahama dropped her. Captain Charles "F. Pond, com manding the 13th Lighthouse Dis trict, is expected in this port today, . and it is presumed that he will give irtff the world's rwnrif fnr th mm-i a " age of a sailing vessel between the i ?rderf- ,wh,'e hen: for the new serv" Columbia River and a European port,llce ,h M''P Nos. 88 and 93, and making a showing for quick ifor the Columbia bar and the Swift voyages that has not been equalled in lsure Banks' relie8 Nos. 50 and 67, the past 18 years, the French bark now 00 duty- Gael, Captain Savary, passed Dun geness, within sight of Queenstown, yesterday after having been out but 91 days, according to a message which has been received by the Mer chants' Exchange. There is but one quicker tailing passage on record, and that was made by the British bark Caithloch, in 89 days, 25 years ago. Seven years later the British bark Mackrihanish completed the same voyage in 91 days, which has stood undisputed as the second best until now, when the Gael has succeeded in equaling it The remarkable feat of the French man may be better appreciated when it is explained that from 50 to 100 sailing vessels have been going from the Columbia River to Europe every season during tne past quarter ol a century. The steamer Argo will not leave Portland until Tuesday, for Tillamook. WORLD'S ALMANAC 1909 30 cents Mailed Any Address 35c WHITMAN'S BOOK STORE Letters were received at the office of British Vice-Consul E. M. Cherry yesterday from Captain Gluud, of the Herzogin Sophie Charlotte, the German training ship, that left here .last Fall, arriving at Port Phillies Heads, 54 days out from the mouth of the Columbia, a pretty quick trip. The steamer Yosemite came down the river at 2 o'clock yesterday af ternoon and docked at the Callender, n i . i , . . sne iook aoout a dozen passengers on at the dock and left out imme diately. Most of her passengers came down on the noon train to meet her here. Word has been received in this city that the French bark Gael, made the run from the mouth of the Co iimiuia nver ro tne insn coast, m just 92 days, thus matching the best records extant in this behalf. The dandy Columbine, Captain Kichardson on the bridge, will de part at 6 o'clock this morning for a four-day cruise to Port Angeles and New Dungenness, with supplies, etc- ine steamer aue ti. fcimore ar rived down from the metropolis early yesterday morning, under command of Captain Schroeder, and will sail for Tillamook Bay points this morn ing, with a good passenger list and plenty of merchandise in her hold. The steamer J. Marhoffer came down the river yesterday, and went to sea at once, bound for the Golden Gate, with a big cargo of lumber. The steamship Senator was among the early getaways from this port yesterday, leaving out for the Bay City with plenty of business on all decks. The steamer Olympic loaded with lumber, arrived down the river yes terday morning, and went directly to sea, on her way to San Francisco. The steamer Eureka was among the getaways from this port yester day, leaving out yesterday morning, for her namesake port in California. The steamer Shoshone, laden with 520,000 feet of Astoria lumber, de parted over the "bar yesterday, San Francisco bound. The steamer R. D Inman is due in from San Francisco tomorrow or Tuesday, and will load lumber out from Knapton, for the return voyage. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night a resolu tion will be offered by Manager Whyte for an amendment of the con stitution of the organization, with the purpose in view of placing alt the executive authority of the Chamber m the. hands of a committee of nine men. This committee of nine men would for all practical purpose con stitute the Chamber of Commerce, for if the amendment is carried it will mean that the methods of con ducting the business of the organiir tion as heretofore carried on will be done away with. The committee of nine would appoint the president, manager, and other officers, from its own membership and would carry on the business of the Chamber. That is the system under which the Portland and other Chambers are carried on, especially in large cities, and the plan may meet with favor here. The proposed amendment reads as follows: "To amend Section I of Article IV of the Constitution of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce so as to en large the executive committee and making the article which now reads: ."The officers of this Chamber shall consist of a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, and an executive committee of three. and such other committees as the Chamber may from time to time de termine.' "So as to read as follows: "The officers of this Chamber shall consist of a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer and execu tive committee of nine members, and such other committees as the Cham ber may from time to time deter mine. The president shall appoint immediately after his election, on March 22, 1909, the nine members of this executive committee. At the first meeting of this executive committee. it shall be determined which three us memoers snail serve one year, hich three two years, and which three three years. At the annual meeting to be held on the second Monday evening in March, 1910, 7:30 o'clock, the Chamber shall elect three members of the executive com mittee and at every annual meeting thereafter the Chamber shall elect three members of the executive com mitte. Immediately 'hereafter this committee shall meet and organize, electing a president, vice-president secretary and treasurer for the Cham ber, said officers being members of said executive committee. The exe cutive committee shall hold regular meetings and shall transact all the business of the Chamber. All parts of the constitution in conflict here with are hereby repealed." The schooner Mable Gale, now 45 days out from Molendo, Peru, is looked for here at an early day. When she arrives she will go to fCnappton. She left here on the 26th of September last The oil tank steamer Washtenaw arrived down the river last night and went to sea and the California coast without any delay here. The steamer Coaster, lumber laden for San Pedro, via San Francisco, also came down the river last night and passed over the bar at once. The steamer Alliance will depart from the Callender dock at an early hour this morning for Marshfield. The steamship Breakwater is due in from the Coos waters this morn ing. The oil tank steamship Roma is due down the river this morning and will go directly to sea, bound for the coast of California. The British steamship Yeddo is due down the river today, en route to San Francisco and Australia. She will carry the mails out from the Golden Gate. NEW TO-DAY MIRRORS MADE IN ASTORIA.

Thin forcing of nature it described by Kr nest Poole in "Success Magatine." The secret is simply this: The French maraicltert have manufactur ed a climate to suit them. As one ob server has said, "They have moved the climate of Monte Carlo up to the suburbs of Paris." Some new prodigy of modern science, this? Not at all. Only enor mous expense in money and in time. The gardens, whenever possible, are placed on land with a slope to the south, and are well protected by walls The ground is practically covered with glass, not as in a greenhouie, but by gla frainci in the open, "three-light frames of uniform siie, twelve feet by four and a half; and ato by glans belli These.too, are of ' uniform sire, about the shape of t chapel bell, a little lets than seven teen inches in diameter and from fourteen to fifteen inches high. The French call them cloches. You may often see over a thousand frames and over ten thousand giant bells in tne two-acre plot in (he miluirb of Paris. A more recent innovation I the employment of hot-water pipe run under the soil, making of the earth a veritable steam-heated hotel, with this essential difference, that the hotel-keeper here is desperately eager, not to keep his guests, but to per suade them to leave on the earliest possible day. SUNDAY'S ASSAILANT INSANE.

Will Visit Liberia and Investigate the Existing Condition!. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 6. Appropriations amounting to $20, 000 were provided dtlring the closing hours of congress for expenses of a commission composed of Robert G Ogdcn, Jacob H. . Hollander and Booker T. Washington, designated the state department to investi gate the conditions in Liberia. This action, which met with the aoroval f the British government, resulted from a visit to this country last year several of the officials from Li beria and it is not believed thev i ave any further significance than to ssist the African republic to better j financial conditions. 1 AGENTS FOR KINO Tailored Waists Clever Jiii pring Suits AGENTS FOR GOSSARD CORSETS Astonishing low prices Special Sale Fancy PETTICOATS $6.00 Heatherbloom Petti coats $1.19 to $3.75 The Modern.
