THE XAGrOEE.
The Captain
Objects to
Pilotar.
Tajlas Double
Yestarday 1L A. Snow caused the ar
rest of Capt. Fraser of tho British ship
Xagporc which finished loading grain
last evening. Tho captain gave bonds
for his appsarance.
The circumbtancos are substantially as
follews: Upon tho arrival of tho Kag
pore Snow piloted her to Portland. Tho
custom is for the pilot who takes the
vessel to Portland to take her back here.
On Thursday, the 20th inst., Snow got a
dispatch asking him to what draft to
load her. Saow telegraphed "sixteen
feet,' and went up the next day, report
ing to tho captain who said that ho had
another -pilot. Some delay followed,
which resulted in the ship's "loading to
eighteen feet, 'and starting from Port
laud the folio ving Monday with that
draft, Al. Betts taking hers?fely through
getting hero Tuesday afternoon.
Upon tho arrival of tho vessel Snow
presented a bill of 03 to tho captain for
towage of tho vessel at 17 feet. Tho cap
tain paid Betts, and refused to pay Snow,
who libelled tho vessel. Snow claims
that the condition of tho tido on tho 23th
justified him in sending tho telegram on
that day saying to load her to sixteen
feet; that ho knows the river and would
have been willing and able to take her
down drawing eighteen feet on the Mon
day following atho tido was constantly
increasing. Tho captain claims that the
extra two feet that ho enabled to load
mado a differenco of over l.0 tuns
to tho foot, which cut down his bills for
lighterage 100, thus effecting a snviug
of that amount to the vessel. Upon tins
fact he, through his agents, bases his ro
fusal to pay the G3 that Snow demands.
Yesterday morning the agents of the ves
sel depos'ited GS with the board of pilot
commissioners and g;ivo notice of their
intention to present, to-morrow, charge
against Snow, alleging want of knowl
edge of the river in his pilot ground,
and citing the fact that by loading the
vessel to eighteen feet they s-ived 100.
Opinion is divided and the abivo is be
lieved t- be a fair statement of ths i.ies
tion. UOAO TO TilK .NEH.UKM.
Astoria needs roads to tho south, cast
and west of tho county. There is a set
tlement on the Nehak-ni that lias consid
erable trade which is at prtrfviit conduct
ed in a roundabout sort of way at Gara
baldi and Hobsonville. in Tillamook
county. Tho settlement is not over
tweuty-fivo miles from hero in a straight
line. All along the river is settled and
all the county nteds is communication
to make it one of the inoit thriving set
tlements in Oregjn. Messrs. Crawford,
Scovill, Bc-wley and other-? arc trying to
get a road through and ve hopa they will
succeed, A little aid on the part of
some of our Astoria business men would
bo a groat help. Tuero arc parti.-s roady
now with a contract which Mr. Bewley,
now in the city, has. which agrees to cut
a good road clear to Latter creek or the
Nekanikum. If tlicra wjis only a road lo
tho Nekanikum tho rest of tho way would
ba plain sailing. Thctradoof that fer
tile section can bo secured with a litllo
effort 'on tho part of Astorinu--;. If Asto
iia ever amounts to anything, it is tha
trade of just such communities as that
in the vicinity of Onion Peak that will
bring her out. There is n largo tract of
country that will raise anything, but it
is hard ta get settlers in a place till it p
made comparatively oasy to get to it.
Tho hardv men who havo hewn out
homes desisrvo aid in their efforts, and
tho least that tho city can do is lo givo
the trifle of tl o few hundred dollarsasked,
It will come back ten times over and in
a continuous increase. J illamook coun
ty is moviug in the matter and is going
to build to the county line.
Peoplo talk of "a railroad." but there
is more good in a wagon road for Clatsop
county than a railroad. Tho way to
bring a railroad is to build wagon roads
that will bring people, that will make it
worth whilo for a railroad to cora here.
If The Astouian camo out this morning
with a feasible scheme to "get a railroad
to Astoria." 100,000 would be pledged
before night, when for actual benefit ?
good road costing one-hundredth of that
sum and running south to tho Tillamook
county line, would do us all more tan
gible good.
Our salmon industry, our summer vis
itors, our shipping, our little trade, all
aro good things to have, but in the devel
opment of tho surrounding country, its
settlement and Growth, in assessable
value, lies the main part of tho future
lj(m.io'a at ri nr Hi P,!n!irifT ont mort
gages is a good way to make money, but
there are other ways that aro better.
Tho more enterprising we all are in re
gard lo this matter of roads, etc., the
sooner Astoria will assume the station
that God and Nature intended she should
have.
Very Well Said.
The statement that tho oysters of
Shoalwater bay aro becoming oxbauslcd
is the converse of tho truth. For tho
pnst threo years the number of 03'ster
beds and oysters in the bay has been
steadily growing, and this season tho
growth and number is largely in excess
over that of last. Soveral years ago tho
oysters in the bay suffered from a blight,
and for a number of years little, if any.
trade in oysters from here was carried
on. but since 1882, when trado began
again, each recurring year has seen an
arithmetical progression in tho increased
shipments, and this year will prove no
exception. As to the Yacpiina bay oyster
having a finer llavor than that of tho
Shoalwater bay oyster, we havo only this
to say tastes differ. Wo aro glad that
our neighbors on Yaquina bay have oys
ters, and wish them success in both
growing and selling them, but lo attempt
to build up a trado for Yaquina bay oys
ters by misstating facts about those of
Shoalwater bay seems to us to bo 'bad
policy. If Yaquina bay oysters aro of
finer quality than ours, they surely will
find sale on tho market without mis
representing what aro easily proven
facts. Pacific Journal, '23.

G0LDE5 MILLIONS.
Xow ia Transit Across the Coatinent.
Wasukgtok, August 29. Tho transfer
of several million dollars in gold coin as
registered mail matter from San Fran
cisco to New York by order of United
States Treasurer Jordan has excited
much curiosity hero as well as elsewhere.
Until very recontly the fact that bo im
portant a transfer of government treas
ure was in progress was known to only a
few trusted employes of tho treasury
and postofiico doparments. Absolute se
crecy was en joinod upon those few offioers,
for fear, it ia said, that tho knowledge
that many millions of dollars in hard
cash were being moved by railroad across
the continent would tempt the cupidity
of desperate road-agents and train
wreckers. Persons here who have ob
served, with steadily increasing interest,
Treasurerl Jordan's restless activity in
his new sphere of action, regard this
transfer of gold from tho Pacific to the
Atlantic coast with surprise. ilen who
havo grown gray in tho service of tho
treasury department can seo no necessity
for such a step. They say that tho trans
fer is not only unnecessary, but that it is
both costly and hazardous. Special cars
have to bo chartered to carry tho gold,
and tho fact that Mr. Jordan directed
that tho movement bo kept as secret as
possible shows his appreciation of tho
dangers involved.
Since tho first of last Juno 12,:7X),000
of gold oin has been transported from
tho San Francisco sub-treasury to tho
New York sub-treasury. Tho golden
stream is still silently flowing eastward,
and nobody unless it is, Mr. Jordan, ap
pears to know when it will stop. There
is now about SG.l)00,000 of gold coin in
tho vaults of tho New York sub-treasury
a much larger quantity than was ever
there before. That amount is exclusive
of tho 5,1)10,000 of gold that was recent
ly advanced lo tho government by tho
New York bankers. It is a curious fact
that while Treasurer Jordan was stirring
up tho New York bankers by tho intima
tion that tho government might be
obliged to pay its balances to tho clear
ing house in silver certificates, tho sub
treasury in New York was receiving every
few days consignments of gold from San
Francisco. It is creditable to tho discip
line and prudence of tho employes who
havo had tho handling of this great
amount of gold in its movement across
the country thnt thev succeeded in trans
porting about 9.000,000 of coin from
San Francisco to New York before any
knowledge of what was being dono be
came public. Tho coin has been shipped
in stout boxes, some containing 200,000
and others 300,000. Jordan's reason of
accumulating so much gold coin in Now
York Ls a matter of conjecture. Some of
tho most experienced men in tho treas
ury service privately express their aston
ishment at the movement. They say tho
transfer is absolutely unnecessary. Tho
great danger and great expense of mov
ing 12.000,000 or 13,000,000 of gold coin
more than 3,000 miles overland might
havo deterred a less brilliant man from
making tho transfer.
THE KHStiEST AM) BEST OT THEM ALL.
At every performance the hugo canvas
tents of John Robinson's great Threo
Ring Circuses, were literally jammed,
packed and crammed with "happy, laugh
ing people, in many instances the em
ployes of largo business houses, being
sent by their employers, who purchased
the tickets in bodies of a hundred or
more. John Robinson desires the out
side world to know that just as his Mam
moth Show is exhibited in the largest
cities, so it will bo exhibited in the smal 1
cst villages and towns, and that every
one of his Ten Big Shows nuitod and
combined, and every siuglo member of
his gigantic troupe, and every ono of his
great new novelties, and marvelous fea
tures will surely accompany him over his
entire route into the smallest of towns.
There are ten thousand new attractions
to amuse and instruct tho young and the
old, previous to tho commencement of
the circus performance proper. Tho
principal interest seems to center around
the huge herd of elephants ranging iu
size from tho colossal "Empress" to the
litlio twin baby elephants, tho es
pecial delight of tho children. Tho cir
cus performance is tho best by a long
ways that ever visited Chicago, and of
such a pleasing and varied character as
to make it difficult to single out any act
of particular merit, for they are all of
tho very best. For.two hours and three
quarters there is a" succession of acts of
daring horsemanship, tumbling, perform
ances of trained nuimaln, wire walking,
acrobatic feats, bicycle riding and a host
of other novelties. The laughable antics
and tricks of tho Twin Baby Elephants
never fail lo create the greatest fun and
amusement. Tho marvelous troupe of
gymnastic bicyclers, tho startling llight
of tho human cannon ball through tho
air, the wonderful and thrilling life-Ienp
of tho winged lady of the clouds, the ler
riflio flight of a human being from the
great Roman Catapult' driven through
space at tho terrible momentum of three
miles in ono mhiute. make up a constel
lation of startling and astonishing won
ders and amazing novelties never before
seen on earth. Chicago Daily Tribune.

A MODEL HOTEL.
Boles of a Minnesota Summer Besort.
Thi3 hotel has been built and arranged
for the special comfort and convenience
of summer boarders. On arrival each
guest will bo asked how ho likes tho situ
ation; and if he says tho hotel ought to
havo been placed upon tho knoll, or fur
ther down toward tho village, the loca
tion of tho houso will bo immediately
changed. Corner front rooms, up only
ono flight, for every guest...
Baths, gas, hot and cold water, laun
dry, telegraph, restaurant, fire alarm,
bar-room, billiard table, daily papers,
coupe, sewing machine, grand piano, n
clergyman, and all modern conveniences,
iu every room. Meals every minute, if
desired, nnd consequently no second
table. English, French, and German
dictionaries furnished every guest, to
make up such a bill of fare as he may
desire without regard to bill affair after
wards at tho office. Waiters of any na
tionality and color desired. Every waiter
furnished with a libretto, button-holo
bouquet, full-dress suits, ball tablets, nnd
hair parted in tho middle. Every guest
will havo the best seat in the dining
hall, and the best waiter in tho house.
Any guest not getting his breakfast
red-hot, or experiencing a delay of six
teen seconds after giving his order for
dinner, will plcaso mention tho fact at
tho office, and the cooks and waiters will
bo blown from tho mouth of tho cannon
in front of tho hotel at once. Children
will bo welcomed with -delight, nnd
aro requested to bring hoop-sticks and
haw-keys to bang tho carved rose
wood furniture especially provided for
that purpose, and peg-tops to spin on tho
velvet carpets; they will bo allowed to
bang on the piano at all hours, yell in
tho halls, slide down tho bannisters, fall
downstairs, carry away desert enough
for a small family in their pockets at
dinner and mako themselves as disagrco
ablo as tho fondest mother can desire.
Washing allowed in the rooms, and
ladies giving an order to "put mo on a
flntiron" will bo put on ono at any hour
of tho day or night. A discreet waiter,
who belongs to tho Masons, Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias, and who was never
known to even tell tho timo of day, has
been employed to carry milk punches
and hot toddies to ladies' rooms in tho
evening.
Every lady will bo considered tho bello
of the honse, and row-boys will answer
tho bello promptly. Should any row-boy
fail to appear at a guest's door with a
pitcher of ice-water, more towels, a gin
cocktail, and pen, ink nnd paper, before
tho guests' hand has left tho bell-knob,
ho will be branded "Front" on his fore
head and imprisoned for life.
Dogs allowed in any room in tho house,
including tho w(h)ine-room. Gentlemen
can drink, smoke, swear, chow, gamble,
toll shady storios, stare at the new arriv
als, and indulgo in any other innocent
amusements common to watering places,
in any part of the hotel. Tho proprietor
will always bo happy to hear that some
other hotel is "tho besthousein tho coun
try." Special attention given to parties
who can givo information as to "how
these things aro dono in Yowrup."
Tho proprietor will tako it asa personal
affront if tiny guest on leaving should fail
to dispntethe bill, tell him ho is a swind
ler, the bouse a barn, tho tablo wretched,
the wiuesvilc, and that he, tho guest,
"was never so imposed upon in hts'life,
will never stop there again and means to
warn his friends."
Clara Locks Kellogg.
The ushers had a busy time of it last
night, bat every one got seated at last.
Tho ojxsra houso never looked to better
advantage than it did on this occasion,
and Miss Kellogg will have no reason to
complain of Eau Claire, for a more select
or appreciative audience could not be
well got together. Tho programme, a
charming one, was replete with every
thing classical. Miss Kellogg in her
bright nnd dazzling costumes, looked her
best and did her best. She received sev
eral recalls, to all of which sho replied
cheerfnily nnd gracefully. On one occa
sion tho gentlemen were rather slow in
taking their places and an audible sigh
escaped C. L. K. which created a ripplo
of laughter over tho house, and no ono
enjoi'ed it more than Miss Kellogg her
self. Miss Kellogg and her ndmirablo
troupo leave to-day on a special over tho
