OCEAN, BAR,
BAY,
Confirmation is at band here of the
tale of the fine bar schooner Joseph
Pulitier, by the Columbia River Bar
Pilots', Association, to the Port of
Portland Commission for the sum of
$10,000; and all that reains to be
done in that important premise is
the passage of the coin and bill-of-tale.
She is now idle and berthed at
the westerly end of the O. R. & N.
docks. She is a cracker-jack craft
and will be kept on the bar, as usual,
when the Portland people take over
the business of pilotage and towing.
The Portland commission has re
ceived bids for the construction of
bar tugs, from the Willamette Iron
Works, at Portland; from the Craig
Company, of Long Beach, California;
and from a New Jersey firm at Cam
den in that State The eastern bids
are not in it, and the others have
not yet been determined. The port
engineer has recommended that a
tender in the neighborhood of $60,
000 be made to the O. R. & N. Com
pany, for the bar tug Walluhu. . ,
It is not known here yet who is to
figurer on the pilot roll of the com
mission after that body shall have
organized its forces no intimation
having been given out in that behalf.
One of the chief . events on the
waterfront of Astoria yesterday was
the arrival in this port of the fine and
powerful tug Goliath, from Pugetjjs excellent ground for the fact, as
Sound, and lately taken to that port such a vessels always comes handy
by Captain C T. Bailey, of the Ta- j the event of accident or trouble

Mr. Fay, one of the owners of the
passenger launch Requa. lying in the
Columbia and bound for San Fran
cisco, along with Captain Leighton,
of the bar pilot service, yesterday
agreed that the weather was fine
enough and promising enough, to
warrant her departure for the Golden
Gate and hurried preparations were
made. At 4 o'clock the 97-foofc boat,
with her broad over-hanging guards.
and her false upper-works, left down
with these gentlemen and Engineer
Nick Clinton on board, for the bar
and the sea, and the best hope of
"all hands" go with them for a safe
and speedy trip to her destination.
If anyone can get her to the Bay
City with ease and safety it is Cap
tain Arthur Leighton. It is not
known whether she got out last
evening or not, bnt everything being
propitious down that way, the pre
sumption is that she, did.
The report comes down the river
that the O. R. & N. Company is ex

of the steamer Harvest Queen, rais

her in first-class order for passenger

take the place of the Alliance while
the latter was undergoing some
weeks of general repairs at Portland,
is exploded. She will make her
usual lumber run.
It is announced that the steamer
Alliance has been sold and will de
part from these waters; but who has

APPOINTED
WATER COMMISSION DISCUS
SES ONLY ROUTINE MAT
TERS LAST NIGHT.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the board of water commissioners
last night the question of the recent
decisions of Judge McBride in the
circuit court did not come up for
discussion. Communications were re
ceived from the city attorney, Mr.
Abercrombie, and Judge Bowlby, in
relation to.the matter, and a copy of
the decisions were placed on tile.
They declare, that Sofus Jensen, who
was elected in Uppertown, had no
right to continue his scat, but that
Asmus Brix had the right to remain
as a member. Mr. Jensen was not
present last night. Mr. Brix was,
however, and he will continue his
membership.
Sine two other members, Mr.
Kankkonen and Mr. Gimre. do not
meet the condition imposed by the
charter provision, they also natural
ly fall within the rule laid down by
Judge McBride in the case of Mr.
Jensen; Mr. Kankkonen was not
present last night, though Mr. Gimre
was. Whether Mr. Gimre intends to
endeavor to retain his membership
or not did not become apparent.
It will now be the duty of the
commission to fill the places made
vacant by the withdrawal of the three
members, Messrs. Jensen, Gimre
and Kankkonen. The method of ap
pointing is said not to be clearly laid
down by the charter, and some have
though it is possible to appoint
either from the city at large or from
the particular wards from which the
outgoing members were elected. It
would, of course, naturally seem the
duty to appoint from the wards, as
the intention of the charter in pro
viding for election by wards is to
provide for . ward , representation,
while to appoint from the city at
large would thus not provide for
ward representation.
, The commission now consists of
nine members, when full; while be
fore the charter amendment it con
sisted of but five. The wisdom of in
creasing the membership to the
greater number is held in doubt by
some of the members, it is known,
The Lurline was doing her usual
stunt in and out of this port yester
day evening. When she went up at
7, J. T. Durdle was among her pas
sengers. The steamship Riverside is due to
arrive in this port today, or early in
the morning, from the Bay City, on
her usual run in the interest of the
American-Hawaiian line.

for the larger membership apparent
ly is not conducive to quick and business-like
methods in discussion and
action.
Nothing else of importance arose
last night except the matter of the
pipe line. The old board had talked
this matter over for months, and
iiow the new board has to become
familiar with the .problems that pre
sent themselves. Briefly stated, two
facts are at the bottom of the prob
lems, First, the pipe line, or at least
several miles of it, is getting in de
plorably bad shape. Perhaps it will
be a necessity to construct an entire
ly new pipe line very soon; it is
matter of weeks or months, not of
years. ,
Secondly, with the pipe line wear
ing out, the city is demanding much
more water than formerly. If thf
Hammond mills double their capa
city, and if other contingencies tale
place as now expected, the city may
soon not be able to furnish enough
water. Already, in summer time, the
question of lack of water has become
a serious problem.
Therefore, the imperative neces
sity of conserving and increasing the
water Supply is seen; secondly, it is
admitted that it is requisite to build
a new pipe line, in whole or in part.
Questions of detail now arise. It
is an important matter to determine
whether steel or wrought iron pipes
shall be used; it is also important
to determine whether all or only a
part of the work shall be done at
once; or whether all of the work can
be safely postponed for a year. It
is thought there is a chance of iron
and steel becoming cheaper, especial
ly if the tariff is -lowered, and this
question of the tariff will be definite
ly settled within the next 60 days.
On all of these matters the commis
sion will try to gain exact' informa
tion before it acts.
The report of the clerk. Mr. Loiins-
berryr, showed the total business for
the month of February to have total
ed $3809.
The cash collections for the month
were $3792. The treasurer's report
showed that on February 27 there
was a total of $39,332-73 in the gen
eral fund. The regular pay roll was
$962, and the bills amounted to
$995-35.

CHICAGOAN, WITH $3,000,000 TO
INVEST WANTS TIMBER
SITE IN THIS SECTION.
Rev. C. C Rarick. of this city, is
just in receipt of the following letter
from his friend and former fellow
worker in the faith, F. M. Robertson,
of Cedar Rapids. Iowa, now an ac
tive and successful real estate opera
tor and it is made public for the best
interests of this community and of
the gentleman who makes the im
portant inquiry:
"Do you know of a proposition
like , this?: A large body of timber,
well located for marketing; and with
a large mill now located and run
ning, on the property.
"A certain party in Chicago, with
about $3,000,000 to invest, so I am
told, is looking for such a proposi
tion; and it occurred to me that it,
might be found in the neighborhood
of Astoria.
"Any printed matter concerning
Astoria, Warrenton, or other realty
interests at hand. I would be glad to
see."
Here is an opportunity for some
of Astoria's live realty men to seek
out and arrange a proposition to
meet this demand; since its genuine
ness is practically conceded. At all
events it worth the attention of all
who are in that business. Inquiries
of this sort are rather flattering to
this section and they should not be
passed up for any negligent reason.
