ASTORIA OREGON:"
SUNDAY,, SEl'TKMBKK IS, 1RS7
The British four-masted ship Van
auara arrived in from San Pedro
yesterday.
The workmen in the two- ends of
the big Siskiyou tunnel expected to
meet yesterday.
The franchise has been granted
and Seattle is to have a cable road
within six months.
Theregular meeting of the cham
ber of commerce will be held to-morrow
evening at 8 o'clock.
From 150,000 to 200,000 feet of logs
per day are taken out over the Puget
Sound and Grav's Harbor railroad.
The bright weather yesterday fore
noon gave place to a cloudy sky in
the afternoon and by evening a light
rain was falling.
A good many teams are" kept busy
these days delivering the winter's
supply of wood and coal to the provi
dent and far-seeing.
The receipts of the Eescue club
from various sources is stated to be
more than sufficient to cancel the in
debtedness incurred.
The subject of the morning sermon
in the Baptist church will be "Chris
tian Education;" in the evenhig'The
Gospel of Radicalism."
Mrs. Leland Stanford last Friday
gave five hundred dollars each to the
Children's Home and the Boys and
Girls Aid society of Portland.
Wouldn't it be a good plan for
senator Stanford to have a line of
railroad built down this way so that
he' could then visit the seaport of
Oregon in his private coach? If ho
will let us know when he is coming
we'll make him a present of the finest
salmon that can be taken from the
Columbia river, and there are some
mighty fine fish in that stream.
A writer says, there should be no
pleasure in dwelling upon the details
of wretched lives and squalid homes,
but we who live in comfort should
know of the miseries of others, not
only by way of learning to be thank
ful for our own greater blessings, but
that we may feel inspired to give
from the store that has been given us
for the relief of the destitute who are,
probably, as much the children of
God as we are.
The mate of the ship Blue Jacket,
at Seattle, had a close call a few days
since. They were loading coal and
the hatohes having run, he got upon
the coal to close the chute. The coal
passers were beneath him, and pull
ing away the coaL This allowed him
to slide down into the hold, and the
coal came pouring in and buried him
save only his head. The chute was
closed just in time or else he mnst
have been buried entire. He was
dug out considerably bruised.
The Gen. Miles arrived in last
evening eight hours from Gray's
harbor. She brought over 1,925 cases
of salmon. The fish are reported
running well and of extra large size.
The troubles between the canneries
and fishermen have quieted down,
but there are but few fishermen out
and the traps are disabled so that the
supply of fish, is short In conse
quence of the reduced number of
boats those that do go out get a good
number to the boat, and are doing
well. Some of the canners hope for
a peaceful settlement of the trouble
that will enable them to take advan
tage of the fine run of fish, while oth
ers have about abandoned all hope of
profitable work this season, and intend
" shortly to shut up their mess houses.
Several fishermen came over on the
Miles yesterday.

WATER PAMINE IN WASHINGTON.
Fastest Three Heats Ever Trotted.
Washington, Sept. 17. -Another
water famine is upon the greater por
tion of this city, caused by the third
break within u short time of a 309
inch main whicli supplies all of the
city north of L street. This break is
the most serious which has yet oc
curred, and it is feared that the
northern part of tke city will bo with
out water for some days to come.
The break occurred about 3 o'clock
this morning without any warning;
suddenly, and with a loud report, the
water spouted up into the air. Resi
dents in the neighborhood were
startled by the noise, and iu a few
minutes the vicinity of the accident
was alive with excited and alarmed
people. L street from Nineteenth to
Twenty-first was one great river, -the
water pouring along like a torrent
and deep enough to float boats. The
damage to property is considerable,
but this is as nothing compared to
the inconveniences of thousands of
citizens and to certain disaster in
case of fire. The public wells were
exhausted at an early hour, and
crowds of people with bnckets iu
hand were walking from place to
place trying to obtain enough to pre
pare their morning meal.

THE WATERWAY ASS0UIATI0K.
Proceedings of the Executive Committee
PoirriiAKD, Sept. 17. The execu
tive committee of the Columbia
Waterway associatiou met this morn
iug in the parlors of the St Charles
hotel. The proceedings of the late
session at Astoria were read by the
secretary. The committee ordered
twenty-five hundred copie3 of the
proceedings of the convention
to be printed. The matter of
the seal and lithographic cer
tificates was left to the secretary
with instructions to procure a suit
able seaL One thousand certifi
cates of membership, to be issued,
will be furnished all desiring to be
come members of the association for
So each.
In the matter of assessments to
meet the immediate expenses of work
delegated to the committee, the
chairman of the committee, with the
approval of the members present
made the following assessment, to be
paid to Wm. H. Brewster, the secre
tary, at Vanceuver:
Portland board of trade, seventy
five dollars; Astoria chamber of com
merce, forty-five dollars; The Dalles
board of trade, forty-live dollars;
Cowlitz county commissioners, eight
een dollars; Franklin county com
missioners, twenty-seven dollars;
Gilliam county commissioners, twenty-three
dellars: Pacific, Chehalis, and
Wahkiakum counties, eighteen dol
lars; Vancouver board of trade, fif
teen dollars; Clark county commis
sioners, fifteen dollars; La Camas,
fifteen dollars.
The question of raising two thou
sand dollars and the appointment of
a suitable person to act as statisti
cian, receive membership and collect
data, occasioned considerable discus
sion. It was finally decided to have
Wm. H Brewster authorized and del
egated to act as statistician, to trav
el from place to place, receive mem
berships and report progress.
The Portland board of trade con
tributes five hundred of the two thou
sand dollars required, or one-fourth
oHhe total sum raised. The com
niitteo adjourned at one r. m., sub
ject to call of tho chairman.
Perilous Trip.
The little steamer Rowena, which
left here some time since for Shoal
water bay, had a rather perilous trip
from Astoria around. Those on
board were warned of the danger of
nttemphug to cross the bar in such a
frail craft After two failures a
third attempt was made. The littlo
craft had no sooner got out among
the breakers than nil on board wished
themselves ashore, but the pilot said
it was impossible to turn about and
the water being too deep to wade
they proceeded. They dared not
turn the boat's head to the north, as
it would have brought her into the
trough of the sea, when she would
have been immediately swamped. So
she was kept head to the sea, and
they had to run out for thirty miles
before they dared to head her for
Shoalwater. The engineer had his
hands full, bailing with One and fir
ing with the other, and they managed
to get inside just as the fog shut
down, and with only three sticks of
wood left If that crew have to bring
that boat back they will carry her
up the beach and launch her at II
waco. One fellow went round in the
Rowena just for the fun, and he got
his satisfy. Oregon ian, 17.
