Fred Beerman was in the city yester
day and says that on his place near Sea

The Tillamook Packing Co. closed
operations last Saturday, after a very
brief season. They ran three week9 and
put up about 4.000 cases. Canning
salmon at less than a dollar a dozen is
not a very brilliant success.
As many as eighteen boats liave been
out on the sands at one time last week
catching the succulent smelt, the festive
porgy and the toothsomo tom-cod. Salm
on trout of fine flavor have also been
pulled in in large numbers. Along the
docks long strings of fishers haelong
strings of fish and no food is finer than
Astoria fish.
A private letter has been received in
this city from Capt. Bogers of the Tillie
E. Starbuck, from Liverpool, in which he
says that he had a splendid run on his
outward voyage, in one instance walking
away from the South America, a noted
flyer. He thinks that all his vessel needs
is a favorable opportunity to enroll her
among the list of fast sailers.
Judge Deady gave a decision in the
Caimsmorc case last Saturday. It was
a "decree of distribution." After the
payment of clerk's and marshal's fees,
the remainder, amounting to $793.70 is
ordered divided. The libellants get $500,
the claimants $297.70, the virtual result
being that every one who had anything
to do with the wreck is out of pocket.
The now transfer boat Tacoma will bo
ready by the 1st of October, which is the
date now fixed upon for opening tho Port-land-Kalama
branch. She cost $430,000;
$300,000 to build her and $150,000 to set
her up. It is thought that Smith Bros.
& "Watson, of Portland, who "set her up,
made $80,000 on the job and that the
eastern firm that built her cleared $175,
000 on their contract.
Adolphus C. Frick, a fisherman living
near Coquille City, engaged in a quarrel
a few days ago and received a stab in the
abdomen which was pronounced neces
sarily fatal. There were a number of
fisherman engaged in the carousal, and it
is not positively known who did the stab
bing. Frick accuses Frank Sheridan of
stabbing him and Sheridan says George
Holton is the guilty party. Sheridan was
subsequently arrested by Constable Cart
wright and taken to the count- jail at
Empire, where he is now held awaiting
the result of Frick's injuries and the ac
tion of the grand jury. Tho wounded
man is 27 years old, a native of Jackson
county, and resided at Sam's valley, on
Rogue river, before going to the Coquille.
The Astoria rod and gun club was
organized last evening. The object of
the organization is primarily for the
preservation of game and to see that tho
game law is properly observed. Com
plaint is frequent that game of all kinds
from pheasants to deer, are killed out of
season, and tho society intends to take
such action as will prevent the extermin
ation of fur and feather in Clatsop
county. The object of the club was
stated to be the enforcement of the game
laws. The name adopted is "The Astoria
Protective Bod and Gun Club.'' It was
organized by the election of J. W. Supre

WORKED THE CONFIDENCE GAME TWENTY
DOLLARS' WORTH.
About ten days ago a man and his wife,
whose names for tho present are not giv
en, went down to Portland from "Walla
Walla in search of work. They were not
very particular so that the employment
was honest and they could bo together.
They had been but a few days in Port
land when the husband made the ac
quaintance of a man at the hotel where
the3' were stopping who told him that he
was the owner of a cannery at Tillamook.
"And by the way," said he, "there's the
very place for you. Til givo you $75 a
month as watchman and general helper,
and your wife will have no trouble in
finding employment of some kind down
there."
The matter was so arranged and the
proprietor of a Tillamook cannery, who
gave his name as C. P. Johnson, fur
nished directions as to how to get there.
'You go to Astoria, and from there take
the A. B. Field. Fll give you a pass from
Astoria to Tillamook and a letter to my
Tillamook partner. But I hired a man
the other day and when he got to Astoria
ho sold his pass. You ain't that kind of
a fellow are you?" The man who really
wanted employment said that he would
do right and meant all right. "I don't
know," said "Johnson"', "I guess you'd
better deposit $20 with me as a guaran
tee. I don't want to give men passes
from Astoria tohae them sold." The
poor fellow handed the swindler $20, and
in return got a piece of paper marked:
"Pas3 bearer and wife by A. II. Field
irom Astoria to xiuamook.
"C. P. Johnson A Co."
He also gave him a letter to his "part
ner,1 telling him to pat him to work im
mediately and to pay him the $20 that he
had taken as a guawuteo that ho would
go. The man and his wifopaid their fare
to Astoria and pat up at the Parker
house. The next morning thev went out
to Badollet V Co.. aiid presented the
"pass" to Mr. Iliiins, who. of course,
knew nothing of "O. P. Johiihon & Co.,"
and so told them. To udd to tho misera
ble plight in which the contemptible
scoundrel from Portland had placed them,
tho unfortunate conplo said that after
settling their bill at the Portland hotel
and paying their fare down here, they
had but $:; left.
THE I'XIO.NTOWN ROAD.
A good deal of the road fund the past
beason has been spent in building a fine
road along tho base of tho hill on the
river beach from the Union Packing Co.'s
premises westward toward Smith's point.
The road is built now as far as the Sea
side Packing Co.'s property, work being
suspended. A gate at the turn in the
road near the junction of tho private
road recently built with the county road,
stops all public travel over that thorough
fare. Some time ago the Cutting Pack
ing Co., the Washington Packing Co.,
and tho Union Packing Co. jointly leased
from J. C. Trullinger a strip of beach
lying contiguous to their property, for
five years, for $500. Over this they built
about 1,700 feet of road, costing between
$3,000 and $4,000. This road was built
for the convenience of those three com
panies and is owned by them, but as it
connects Concomly street with the county
road running to Smith's point, it becomes
an important link in the matter of com
munication. As it is at present, with the
gate there, the county road, whioh is ex
cellently built, is no good to anyone. It
is, however, a question whether the strip
of private road is suitably located for
public use, even if satisfactory arrange
ments could be made with tho parties
claiming it. It is too narrow and has too
many crooks and turns in it to be a good
public thoroughfare. Tho matter is an
important one, for the city needs some
outlet in that direction. An et ;r sou of
Chenamus street on its present line would
run it about on a line with the Cutting
Packing Co.'s premises. An extension of
Squemoqua street would cut in further
to the west. The growing demands of
the city renders necessary some solution
of the question, for the matter cannot
continue as at present.
ON ODXILISKA'S SHORH.
Mr. Tallaut, the Astoria manager for
the Cutting Packing Co., received a tele
gram yesterdai from San Francisco, say
ing that the company's vessel, tho Corca,
had ju3t arrived from Cook's inlet with
21,000 cases salmon.
Nearly one thousand miles to the north
'ard, opposite the island of Kodiak, in
lat. 00 north, Ion. 131 W., tho Pacific
makes an estuary, and on its shore is
bailt the farthest north and most iso
lated cannery in tho world. Every sea
son the vessel puts in and lands China
men, a few whites, material and stores,
and through the brief season the silent
shores are the scene of busy life. There
is no ceasing; the short twilight of the
Arctic circle soon gives place to day, and
as all hands are paid "by the piece," and
daylight is but briefly interrupted, the
work goes unceasingly on. From the
time the vessel leaves San Francisco in
the early summer, till she returns with
the season's catch, there is no word nor
tidings from her. This is the third sea
son that this company has packed in
Cook's inlet, and the result is staled to
be entirely satisfactory in every way.
Charles H. Hawkins, a boyish-looking
fellow, was a guest at the county jail yes
terday. He is from The Dalles, and goes
to tho Salem penitentiary for 15 years.
During a drunken row he killed a man
named Jones on White Biver hill, near
The Dalles, last summer. Hawkins' vic
tim was his partner, and, he says, threat
ened to kill him unless he gave up $2.50
that ho had in his possession. Jones en
deavored to take tho monov away from
Hawkins, and during tho scuffle the lat
ter picked up a rock and killed Jones.
The trial, however, developed evidence
of a damaging character, and the court
gave him the full penalty of the law
ntteen years ana to pay a line of $5,000.

The cities, the one on the Hudson and
the other on the Thames, will thus soon
be talking acrosB the ocean to each other
on the telephone.
A company of New York capitalists has
been formed to establish a telephona line
across the Atlantic ocean. It is to be
supplemented, if the patent-rights of tho
Bell company permit, by a telephone line
from New York to San Francisco. Among
the stockholders and directors are Mr. J .
H. Beed, of the firm of Bates, Reed fc
Cooly; H. C. Skinner, of Hazen, Todds cc
Co.; George M. Groves, vice-pres:dent
of the Bank of the Metropolis; William
Foster, Jr.. formerly the president of tho
Metropolitan Elevated Railway company,
and several Boston capitalists. The
company is to use the new Mackey-Ben-net
cable. In a few weeks one will be
able to whisper under the sea to friends
in Enrrlnnd. Tn the course of time Georce
Francis Train, at his office in the Put
nam House, may whisper in the privata
ear of Dennis Kearney in t.amornia.
Th i first firncrimonts in submarine
telephoning will bo made as soon as the
Mackey-Bennett cable is extended from
Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Gloucester,
Massachusetts. The distance between
these two ports is 850 miles. If the ex
periments on this part of the international
strand aro successful, experts and instru
ments will atonco bo sent to Valentia,
Ireland, and attempts will bo made to
telephone across the Atlantic Ocean. Ex
pert electricians say that with tho same
force sound may be transmitted twice as
far on wires under water as on wires
through the air. The new apparatus for
telephoning which has lately been invent
ed, and which tho company owns, will
stand the force of sixty batteries. More
than two batteries would destroy the in
struments of the Bell telephone system.
Tho Transatlantic Telephone Company
first made experiments with its newly
invented instruments on Long Island.
Messages were sent by them from one
end of Long island to the other, a dis
tance of 123 miles. The longest distance
which conversation is transmitted by the
Bell system is twenty five miles. There
is a telephone lino forty-five miles long be
tween Boston and Worcester, owned by
the Bell company, but only on favorable
days are word3 sent over it distinctly
audible. Experiments were next made
with tho new telephone instruments be
tween New York and Meadville, Pa., a
distance of 500 miles. Songs sung by n
tenor singer in tho office at Meadville
were distinctly heard by half a dozen
listening stockholders of the company in
New York. A song was sung by a stock
holder in New York, and the encore in
Meadville was distinctly heard in this
city. Successful experiments were next
made between the metropolis and Cleve
land. Afterwards the stockholders in
the new enterprise talked back and forth
with doubters in Chicago, over 1 010 miles
of wire. The last experiments with the
new telephone system were made between
New York and St. Louis, over a wire 1,500
miles long. They were in every respect
successful. Gentlemen partly deaf , who
were unable to hoar through the Bell
telephone at any time, talked with men
by tho Mississippi river as easily as they
might carry on a conversation with men
at their elbow.
Telegraphic messaged may be sent by
tho cable and people may bo conversing
at the same time. The new method of
telephoning simply increases tho uses of
the sub-marine wire. Twelve words a
minutes may be telegraphed by the cable;
thirtj' words a minute, or nearly three
times as many, may be telephoned.
Word to friends' across the sea may be
sent much cheaper by telephono than by
telegraph, and the new deep-sea wire may
ultimately become chiefly a telephone
cable.
Cable telephone instruments will be
placed in the offices of all the importing
firms, shipping houses and newspapers
in the city. The merchant will yawn in
his easy chair, arise, walk to his tele
phone instrument and question his factor
across the Atlantic. The newspaper edi
tor will rinc up his police headquarters
reporter in London and ask him if every
thing is quiet there. As the new tele
phone system is to be extended through
out Europe the editor will in the lapse of
time ring up Constantinople and call for
a three-column interview with the grand
vizier or a tete-a-tete with the sultan in
the reporter's best style. From London
police headquarters will come the news
that the reporter has gone out to Covent
garden to get a clove.
The new system of telephoning will bo
so cheap that chambermaids in the two
cities of London and New York will have
morning chats with each other across tho
ocean. Wits will crack jokes with each
other across the Atlantic Men will bor
row money and umbrellas of each other
by the submarine telephone. Mary, tho
nursemaid, will talk tenderly to 'Arry,
her beau across the ocean, and the small
est matters of domestic life will be the
subject of transatlantic conversation.
The invontor of the new telephone in
struments is Mr. Gillette, of Kalama
zoo, Michigan. Ho is an electrician, has
invented many instruments and machines
and is a sort of second Edison. Few

removed, and presented a natty and un

sworn to by Henry Failing, charging him
with larceny in u banking house of S2003

Prosecuting Attorney Gsariu. After a
brief consultation with Mr. Hedges, his
attorney, irisbio entered u plea of not
guilty. He waived examination and was

TEN TIMES TEN THOUSAND MORE.
When Freedom from the realms of light
looked down on Oregon,
She robed herself in garments white, as
radiant ns the dawn,
And roused tho psople for the fight as
only Freedom am,
And with her ballots, pure nnd white, np-
appealed to every-man;
But when the ballots all were in, and
, votes wore counted o'er.
She shook her head and sadly said, ,We
need ten thousand more."
Then freemen heard her stirring cry, and
with a gladsome shout
They raised the starry banner high, re
solved to put to rout
Her every foe, both far and nigh, as only
freemen can,
And smgs of triumph through tho land
were sung by every man.
And this the glad refrain they sang, in
chorus o'er and o'er,
We're coming, mothers, sisters, dear, ten
times ten thousand more.
You've called us, and we're coming fast,
in strength nnd hopo and pride,
To stand for Freedom to tho last, our
sisters dear beside.
We care not for the cruel past, nor for
the coming man;
We only care for Liberty, a3 loyal f reo-
men can.
And next time, when the vote3 are in, and
all are counted o'er,
You'll hear again the glad refrain, ten
times ten thousand more.
From Clatsop and from Clackamas, from
Linn and Tillamook;
From Grant, Multnomah, Lane and
Coo?, and Benton, Lake and Crook;
From Josephine, Columbia, and loyal

And Union, Baker and Yamhill, and
proud old Marion;
From where tho Cascades mountain
streams theirfoaming water pour,
We're coming, mothers, sisters, ten times

From Klamath's lakes and Wasco's
plains, and Jackson's rolling hills;
From Douglas with her mines of gold,
and Curry with her mills;
From Umatilla's burdened fields, and
hills and dales of Polk,
We're coming with our votes and songs
to break the tyrant's yoke.
Andin the ears of Liberty this song of
joy we'll peur:
We're coming mothers, sisters, dear, ten
