Yesterday was an April day, all
smi'es and tears, a little too much of
the latter to be pleasant. The river
was rough and craft of all kindB
hugged the shore. The State went to
sea at half-past two.

Painful Accident.
Yesterday morning Robert Mon
teith.a six year old son of R. V. Mon
teith met with a sad mishap. The lit
tle fellow was out in the yard with his
sister two years older than he, and in
s9ino way got his hand under a hatch
et with which she was splitting kind
ling. Tho keen edge severed tho sec
ond, third and fourth fingers of his
right hand. Surgical attendance was
summoned and the stump3 were prop
erly amputated and dressed, tho boy
bearing the pain like a little hero.
Sa!mon Canners Meeting.
A meeting of cannerymen "to dis
cuss matters relative to the present
season's work was held at tho office of
Samuel Elmore last Wednedaj- even
ing at eight o'clock. Among tlnse
who were present, an Astokian repor
ter who was on deck, noticed J.
W. Cook, Vincent Cook of Clifton; J.
G.Sregler, of Brookfield; N. W. Tal
lant and E. A. Tallant of tho Cutting
Packing company; M. J. Kinney, of
the Astoria Packing Co.; Thos. Dealey,
of the Columbia Canning Co.; Chas.
Thomes, of Thomes & Knowlcs; Saui'l
Elmore, Win. T. Coleman &. Co.'s As
toria agent; F. C. Reed and C. Tim
mins, of Timmins & Co.; Geo. H.
George and Win. T. Barker, of A.
Booth A- C: S. D. Adair. Wm. B.
Adair, J. Adair, Jr., Jay Tuttle, J.
Q. A. Bowlby, of Ocean Canning Co.;
W. J. Barry, E. A. Noys, F. J.
Taylor, of tho Seaside Packing Co.;
and others connected with the can
ning interests of the Columbia.
Upon calling the meeting to order and
appointmgachuiruau and secretary, the
purpose for which the meeting was
called was slated, viz; to discus3 the
advisability of reducing the number of
boats on the river, and tho best means
of effecting that result. It was moved
and seconded that tho fishing boats on
the Columbia river be reduced to one
half tho present number, provided
that all interested would so agree.
This gave rise to considerable discus
sion. In response to a question re
garding the action of certain canning
companies composed wholly or in part
of men who would do their own fish
ing, Thos. Dealey stated that speak
ing for those co-operative com
panies he was of the opinion
that they would concede to any agree
ment to reduce the number of boats
so that each cannery would put the
same number in tho water. A propo
sition something like the following was
then made: Divide the total number
of boats on the river by the total
number of canneries, aud the quotient,
whatever it should be, by two, and
agree to put just that many boats in
tbo water, thus giving each cannery
on the river an equal number of boats
in use. Some one made the sugges
tion that that would give some of the
canneries more boats than they had
now.
Sitm'l Elmore stated that, speaking
for Wm. T. Coleman fc Co., several
of tho companies that they repre
sented would bo willing to reduce their
boats to one-half of the prosent num
ber. Thos. Dealey said that in his
opinion there wasn't a ioint stcck
company on tho river that would
agree to reduce tho number of boats
that they proposed running this sea
son unless each ran just the same
number. He also stated that the
Columbia Canning company would
pay $1.25 a fish to outside boats and
would assess its stockholders for the
difference. Mr. Dealey made the
further declaration that the ideas that
he was then and there expressiHg were
not to be taken as his individual
sentiments, but that that was tho way
the joint stock company felt about the
matter.
After that there didn't seem to be
much room for further discussion and
the meeting adjourned.
What did he Say?
The othor evening a reverend gen
tleman sat down at a Cincinnati tea
table with a very thoughtful air, and
attended to the wants of his brood iu
a voiy abstracted m&uner. Presently
lie looked up to his wife and said:
'The Apostle Paul"
"Got an awful lump on the bend
'aaternoon," broke in the pastor's eld
est son' "'playing baso ball. B.it flew
out of striker's hand when I was um
pire, aud cracked me right above the
oyes, and dropped mo. Hurt? Golly!"
And the lad shmk his hed in diurnal,
but expressive pautnmiue, as he ttu
derly rubbed a lump that looked like a
billiard bil1 with lism- ou it.
The pjstor gravely paused for th
interruption, and resumed:
"The Apstle Pnul "
"Saw Mis Dash down at Green
bau m's this afternoon," said his eld
est daughter, addressing her ni"! her
"She had on the same old everlasting
black silk made over with a est of
green silk, co-U-tail basque pattern,
overskirt made with diagonal folds in
frout.edged with deep fringe; dark felt
hat. with black velvet facing and
pale blue flowers. She's going to
Chicago."
The good minister waited patieutly
and then in tones which were just a
shade louder than before, ho resumed:
"The Apostle Paul"
"Weut in swimmin' last night with
Henry and Ben, and stepped on a
clam shell," exclaimed tho youngest
son; "and cut my foot so I can't wear
my shoe; and, please, can't I stay
homo to-morrowl"
The pastor informed his son that he
could stay away from tho river, and
again essayed his subject of conversa
tion. Ho said:
"The Apostle Paul says
"My teacher is an awful story
teller," shouted the second son; he
says the world is as round as an
orange, and tnrns round all the time
faster than a circus man can ride. I
guess ho hasn't got much sense."
Tho mother lifted a warning finger
towards tho boy, and said "Sh!" and
the father resumed
"The Apostle says"
"Don't bite twice as much as
can chew." broke out the eldest
reproving the assault of his little sis
ter on a piece of cake.
The pastor's face showed just a tri
fle annoyance as he said in a very firm
and decided tene:
"The Apostle says"
"There's a fly in tho butter," cried
tho youngest hopeful of tho family,
and a general laugh followed.
When silence had been restored
the eldest daughter, with an air of
curiosity said:
"Well, pa, I really would hko to
know what the Apostle Paul said."
"Pass the mustard," said tho pastor
sternly-
And now the question is: What
did the Apostle really say that Rev,
Mr. Philactor conld have so curiously
construed. Or is it the New
Version?

Take It Back!
Our Astoria mechanics are fast ac
quiring a reputation for good work
and skill in mechanism that is a
pleasuro to record. It seems their
fame is going abroad. This season
orders come in from California, and on
nearly every outgoing steamer is
machinery for California, Astoria-
built. Yesterday, for instance, was
shipped on the State of California,
soldering machines, retorts, pans, etc.,
made at the Astoria Iron works for a
canning firm in Sacramento. Arndt
& Ferchen are also turning out first
class work, and as for carpenters and
otner worKers tney are so busy sup
plying home orders that they have no
time to look at an order from the out
side. All of which is as it should be.
