OCEAN, BAR, BAY, The newi of the loss of the steamer R. D. Inman, on Dnxberry Reef, near Point Bolinas, about 20 mfles north of the Golden Gate on Saturday night last, was received in this city with sincere regret, as she was among the regular coast liners to these waters, and her master and Seers well known and liked here; and that they were all saved, with their men, is a matter of distinct pleasure here. She will be missed from the Loop Line. The Lurline was at her Eleventh street berth at an early hour yester day evening, and when she departed for the metropolis she took from here: M. Tromultz, L. West Mrs. J. D. Hart J- B. Knldin, A. J. Connelly and J. Line. This morning a crew of sailors will be sent around to Youngs' Bay to 'the good ship St Nicholas, to bend her sails and get in readiness for berthing at the Elmore bunkers en next Saturday; after she has coaled, she will be hauled to the Kinney dock where she will take on her supplies and people for the north ern fisheries. The steamship Rose City left her San Francisco dock fonr hours be hind her usual schedule on Saturday bst, and was picked up yesterday af ternoon by Operator "Fuzzy" Fer hnd, of the United Wireless on Smith's Point, who reports that Cap tain Mason said he expected to be off the bar at 11 o'clock last night, but was not certain that he would come in then, but would determine that matter when he got there. In all probabilit he will hold her off and come in on the early flood this morn ing. The motor schooner Delia is due to sail today for the Kestucca if all things hold fair.

The presumption is that she is still in that port awaiting a favorable moment to slip out on her way to San Francisco. She will have to run into Eureka for fuel oil, anyway; and it is thought she will be heard from, from there, before she is reported at San Francisco. At all events, "no news is good news." The steamer Northland entered port on Sunday, and w nt to the Fort Stevens docks, where she dis charged 400 barrels of cement for the Government work now underway there; after which, with her 16 pas sengers, she came op to the city and docked at the Callender, putting off about 20 tons of local freight here. before leaving np stream with the rest of her cargo. The Russian bark Dundee left the Callender bunkers yesterday, for her berth at Knappton where she will load out lumber for European deliv ery, at the Columbia mills. W. A. Fairweather, deputy collector of cus toms, in charge, at Tacoma. will ar rive down on the noon express today, to enter the Dundee and will come again when she is loaded, to clear her. The schooner Virginia, IS days lout from San Francisco, crossed in yesterday, and went direct to the Columbia mills at Knappton a,nd the schooner Mabel Gale is the next of her class due in these waters. The steamer Eureka, bound out for the port of that name, is due to sail from tie Callender dock at 6 o'clock this morning. Captain Archie Pease is in this port awaiting the arrival of the Portland- Asiatic liner Numantia, and will take her on to Portland. She is due at any hour- The steamer Argo arrived in from Tillamook on Sunday evening and went on up stream. She is due to leave out again on Wednesday morn ing next The British bark Carmanian is the next square rigger due down the river. She is lumber laden for Eu rope and will probably reach here tomorrow sometime. The steamer Rainier sailed from the Bay City at 1 a. m. on Sunday and is due in this port this evening or tomorrow morning. The steamer F. S. Loop is among the coasters due to arrive in from San Francisco, at any hour. And so is the steamer Wellesley. The steamship Breakwater, Captain Macgenn, came in from Coos waters on Sunday morning last, with good business on all decks, and after a brief stay at the O. R & N. piers, went on to the metropolis. The oil tank steamer Argyle came down fne river on Sunday morning and went directly to sea, bound for the coast of California. The Hammond liner Geo. W. Fen wick entered port on Sunday morn ing, and went to her berth at the Hammond Lumber Company, at the Tongue, and will load out at once. ' The steamer Johan Poulsen went to sea on Sunday morning with a cargo of lumber for San Francisco delivery. The fine launch Louise is on the Astoria-Ilwaco run, in the place of the Hulda I., now on the ways for re-painting. CHAMBER ELECTS ITS OLD OFFICERS THE ANNUAL MEETING LAST ' NIGHT WAS A HARMON IOUS ONE, At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night the proposed amendment to the constitution, pro viding for an execuive committee of nine to carry on all the business of the organization was voted down with unanimity. Thereupon the meet ing proceeded to elect the officers of the association for the current year in the established way. All of the old officials were re elected Mr. Scholfield as president. Mr. Wingate as vice-president Mr. Htggins as treasurer and Mr. Whyte as secretary. President Scholfield thereupon an nounced that he would appoint sgsin all of the old committees, and hoped that all of the members would con sent to serve. This leaves the orga nization of the Chamber of Com merce practically as it has been for the past year. The appointment of the manager lies with the promotion committee, and it seems to be under stood that this committee will ap point Mr. Whyte manager again. The meeting was a quiet one and the business was accomplished with very little discussion. President Scholfield earnestly ex pressed his wish not to serve as president again, stating that for rea sons which he could not make pub lic it would not be possible for him to serve, at least not for any length of time. But as there are various matters of considerable importance on hand which seem to be nearing successful completion it was deemed best that there be "no swapping of horses while crossing the stream" and hence there was a general desire to re-elect the old officers. Mr. Schol field consented to act for a short time, and said he would resign as soon as matters shaped themselves so Operator "Fuzzy" Ferland yester day picked up the following ocean liners off the coast and duly reported them: The S- S. City of Pueblo, from Seattle to San Francisco, off Cape Lookout at 5 p. m. yesterday, with fine clear weather, a smooth sea, and all well; the oil tank S. S. Mav erick, off the same cape, at 4 p. tn., bound from Port Richmond to Se attle, and all O. K.; the S. S. Watson, bound for Seattle, from the Bay City, off Yaquina Head, at 3 p. m. All well on board. The motor sloop Condor came down the river on Sunday morning early, and left out for the lower Ore gon coast at an early hour yesterday morning. The steamer St. Helen's wss an other of the getaways from this port on Sunday last, leaving out with a big load of lumber for San Fran cisco. The steamer Casco came in over the bar on Sunday from San Fran cisco and went on up the Columbia for a cargo of lumber. The steamer Yosemite entered port on Sunday morning, bound up stream for another load of lumber, and went directly after it. The steamer Alliance is due to leave the Callender dock in this city this morning at 8 oclock for Marsh- field and other Coos Bay points. The steamer Sue H. Elmore went to sea and Tillamook Bay yesterday morning with freight and passengers, and will come out today is possible. The steamer Atlas, of the oil fleet, arrived down yesterday morning and left out at once for the California coast. The steamship W. S Porter came in from the California coast yesterday and passed on up the river. She re ports fine weather all the way up. The steamer Eureka, bound out for the Astoria-Ilwaco run, in the place of the Hulda I-, now on the ways for re-painting.

No soon er was it broached than there wss a motion made to postpone indefi nitely, and this was quickly seconded. The vote was all for postponement indefinitely. Earlier in the session a report made by the promotion committee wss read and adopted, and this report recom mended that the promotion work be continued. The report was publish ed yesterday In advance of the meet ing, with the names of the various members of the committee signed thereto. At the session last night it developed that at least two of the members present had not signed it and that two others were out of the city and could not have signed it; though in explanation of this it wis stated that they had stated in ad vance that their names were to be appended to any report the others agreed upon . Norris Staples, how ever, one of the men, who had not voted for the report, and whose name was appended, apparently did not like it and resigned from the commit tee and the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Staples also gave other reasons for resigning. The report of the committee was an enthusiastic endorsement of the policies of the Chamber and an even more enthusiastic promise of great things to be accomplished in the immediate future. Various other matters of interest arose. A committee of three is to be appointed for the purpose of getting in touch with Major Mclndoo and the engineering department to the end that they may be made familiar with the needs of Astoria and Astoria's point of view. This committee would seem to be a valuable one if its work is carried out. The question of the Chamber of Commerce endorsing the suggestion of John Chitwood for the establish ment of a monument to the early pio neers of this section also arose for consideration. The plan seems to meet with favor, though some seem ed to question the advisability of the Chamber taking part mthe matter, The suggesion was made that a mon ument to Lewis & Clark and to oth er pioneers of the region be set up in the present old Hillside cemetery, and that the old cemetery should be made a part of the city park. At this point it was stated that not long since sn examination of the deed under which the city holds the Hillside cemetery was made and that it was then found that the land would revert to the grantors if it ever ceased to be used as a cemetery. There has been a general under standing to this affect, also, but J. W. Welch arose and cleared the matter up, apparently. Mr. Welch stated that the Hillside cemetery land had been granted to the city as a ceme tery by his father, and that the grant had been made without any conditions whatsoever. Mr. Welch also called attention to the fact that the city had sold many lots therein, and that thus the ownership is db vided between the city and these in dividual lot owners. Hence it appears as if the city can secure possession jof the whole place by buying out the individual owners, or by trading lots in the new cemetery for these lots. Mr. Welch's explanation of the mat ter, if substantiated by an examina tion of the records, is indeed good tiews, for the old cemetery would make a most handsome addition to the park. Attention was called during the meeting to the fact that the brick plant is again in operation. NEWHT0-DAY The Man Who Eats. The man who eats does so with the expectation of being satisfied.

LITTLE FARM STORIES FR0I1 OLD CLATSOP TIMELY HINTS AND SUGGES- TIONS THAT WILL BE OF USE TO GROWER. The following items of farm and garden new from old Clatsop are furnished by one of the best posted and most interested men in the coun ty. They each and all convey hints and lessons that will serve every body if acted upon. Timely sugges tions are slwas In order and these fit exactly: Referring to the article on kale recently published in this paper a farmer said that according to his ex perience milk cows did not do as ell on kale as on rutabaga turnips. Would like to hear from others. In talking with a grocerymsn today about rhubarb pieplant Just in the market from abroad, he remarked that each year he was not able to supply his customers with the plant grown in Clatsop, and was obliged to Import torn of it during the season. We would prefer to buy from the home growers if they would furnish It. A farmer in town yesterday re marked that a neighbor of his re ceived $400 for the cabbage grown upon an acre of tide land. Another instance of what can be done, a grocer-man said he encouraged the children of a farmer to bring in cauli flowers grown upon their father's farm, and they realized over a hun dred dollars of spending money In one season. A housekeeper called at one of the fruit stores yesterday for some ap ples, and being a loyal home sup porter, first looked at apples grown near by. Many were ill-ihapen and unsightly on account of fungus which was on them. She passed them by and gave $1.15 for half a box of ap ples from abroad which were wrap ped in tissue paper and every apple smooth, shapely ( and near the same size. Sorry to tell the, cook at home found some wormy ones, but enjoyed peeling the smooth shapely apples. Clatsop apples, however, have no worms.
