"Why is it that so many young men

WE ARE DISCOVERED!
ITIb Uiiiyersal Trnst Enwrapping
ColniWa Canneries.
I TO HE IWUGHT iiy rxc. LJSH COJX.
During the last two years the news
papers have had considerable to say
about the alleged purchase by Eng
lish syndicates, of cattle, coal oil, mines,
factories, and many other American
institutions.
Even-thing, from a corset factory to
a distillery, from the ice fields on
Maine's frozen rivers to the golden
oranges on the sunny slopes of the
foothills of California, h:is. in turn
been reported bought or bonded by
representatives of English capital, and
now it appears that we, on the Colum
bia river, have been discovered, and
that the salmon canneries along the
banks of the lower Columbia are in a
fair way to be transferred for value re
ceived, k) an English syndicate to be
owned and operated by them.
The Mobnzng Astokian- of the 13th
had an article thereon, giving the
news, as usual, 21 hours ahead of its
esteemed contemporaries, that such
a move was on foot, and that a gen
tleman named J. W. Alderman, had
arrived the day before and was here
viewing the landscape o'er, and getting
local opinion :is to the feasibility of a
big purchase, securing the control of
all the salmon canueries on the lower
Columbia.
The matter since then has pro
gressed so far and so favorably jus to
justify more extended mention.
To buy the salmon canneries on
this river is a financial proposition that
is a new one. Many and futile are
the attempts that have leen made to
form some sort or harmonious com
bination among the three dozen salm
on canneries in this vicinity, all efforts
in that direction resullingin an agree
ment to disagree.
In March, 18S7, the last effort iu
that direction was made, but two or
three prominent canners backed out
at the hist minute, aud the proposi
tion fell throngh.
Since then everybody in the business
has been going in a crowd bv him
self. A prominent member of the guild
was seen yesterday relative to the pro
iosed transfer. He said
"Mr. Alderman means bnsiness. He
treats with each canncr separately,
and asks for a definite statement, a
yamtion on tlie property tlie transfer
to include tne imiiamg, plant and real
estate. 1 am informed that he has a
ninety days1 option on every cannery
on the river except thtee, and believe
the thing is a go. The basis of valu
ation you can understand when I tell
you that the Occident cannerv is
bonded for $22,000. It is figured now
that the whole thing will be trans
ferred at an aggregate sum between
$S0O,OOl)and $1,000,000."
"There is any amount of money be
hind this thing. While known ?i3 an
'English' syndicate, the fact is that it
is the worlds money. Men m Havre,
Antwerp, Loudon, andYienua have
idle capital to operate through Eng
lish agents, and the field in this coun
try is a promising one."
"The syndicate, should it secure the
Columbia salmon canueries will run
them on strictly business principles,
and to make money. Each cannery 4wil I
be placed in charge of a manager, un
der the direction of a general resident
manager. Everything will be run on
an economical scale, and the matter
will be in charge of men who thor
oughly understand the running of the
business.
"What effect the transfer will have
on the business interests of Astoria, is
as yet, an unsolved problem. Mr.
Alderman tells me that all supplies,
etc. so far as possible will be pur
chased here, and so far as I am com
petent to judge, the interests of the
city will not be greatly affected or
changed thereby."
Should such change be made, it will
obviously affect the status of the Co
lumbia River Fishermen's Pro
tective Union. It is reasonable
to suppose that should one
concern own and operate all the
canneries as one establishment it
would have more to sav about the
price of the raw material, than the
canneries have had to say of late years.
It is believed that the first move
would be a conference between the
representatives of the syndicate aud
the representatives of the union
with a view to a mutual understand
ing. In that case it is more than probable
that the union would favor a reduc
tion in the number of boats on the
river, to run, say 700 the coming sea
son, and that those thus employed in
so greatly reduced numbers, le resi
dent fishermen and members of the
union.
The pending negotiations lend in
terest to the situation and further de
velopments will be looked forward lo
with interest
Heirs Jliist Reside in this Country.
Mention was made in The Astoriax
last week of an unusual case. A. F.
Cotter, last November filed on a tim
ber claim. A few weeks after he died,
and when the time was up, W. R. Mc
Farlane went to Oregon City as ad
ministrator of the estate to complete
faual proof, etc. It was then under
stood that this could be done, that is,
the administrator of the estate cotdd
go on and comply with the usnal for
malities. But it now appears that the
heirs must reside in this country, and
as Mr. Cotter's relatives are residents
of Canada the final proof cannot be
made.

THE BROWER CASE,
What Was Sail and Done in Tie
Jnstlce Court.
a rr.iintCT or xot ouilty.
After much talk and a continuance
of the case from a former date, the
trial of Prof. Brower came off yester
day in the justice or the peace court
The court room was packed with in
terested spectators both morning aud
afternoon. School children hung
around outside anxious for the out
come :is lo whether it should favor
scholar or teacher. As the case took
up considerable time the jury were un
easy and longed for softer seats than
the hard tops of settees with no backs.
The following weio the jury: Robert
Carruthers, C. S. Gunderson, Thomas
Byrie, James Hess, J. T. Abercrombie
and W. B. Ross. The examination of
the witnesses commenced with Alena
Graham who was punished by Prof.
Brower. She was a large girl for
thirteeu-years aud looked a3 if she
could with no difficulty pick up and
carry off the pedagogue She gave a
careful statement of the incident,
which was the best evidence or
the prosecution. She said that
Professor Brower struck her
so severely that she yet carried
three si ots on her shoulder and arm
and several marks on her hands at
present, a week and a halt after the
event; that she was not doiug any
thing that deserved a ruler being
used; that sho told him to slop and
he would not; that he forced her into
the comer and held her there where
he struck her over a dozen times.
Tlie cross examination developed noth
ing new. Mrs. Graham wjis very vig
orous in her testimony and stated that
her daughter could hardly use her
arm for several days, that she w;ts
obliged to dress her and prepare her
food. She also described her talk
with Prof. Brower and a former pun
ishment by him of the child. Once or
twice in her testimony"she branched
off into invective on the teacher, but
in the main kept to tlie alleged facts.
Mr. Graham created considerable
laughter by telling how he went to
the school house with a firm intention
to thrash Prof. Brower, but Avhen he
saw him, he looked so pale and weak
that he had compassion and did not
execute his plans. He -said Alena's
arm and shonlder looked like pounded
beef. Esther Strong, one of the pu
pils, was shown the ruler and identi
fied it Ray Morion, Annie Ammuud
son, Anna Ferry and Eva Holmes also
testified for the prosecution all giving
virtually the same story.
Alma Holmes, Magnus Gallagher,
Oliver Bell, Emma Bell, Mrs. Enberg,
and Mrs. Lake, for the defense, were
then examined.
At this point lawyers Curtis and
Dell had a spirited discussion, in
which city attorney Curtis accused
Mr. Dell of poor judgment, saying:
"You never had a child in your life.
What do yon know about itV' This
sally provoked applause,
Dr. Estes said that he carefully ex
amined the girl's arm on the Monday
following the punishment, and
thought there was nothing serious
in her condition.
Professor Brower closed the testi
money for the defense. He described
all the circumstances of the punish
ment, and said that Alena Graham
often failed in her studies; that on
lhat day, February 13, she failed com
pletely in her spelling les
sons. She was sent to her seat
and told to study it. She did not.
Then he ordered her to come to the
platform and sit in a chair facing the
blackboard. She talked out loud
the same there and he told her lo be
quiet Not doing so he went lo
punish her. She clinched her list lo
prevent the ruler being used on her
hand. He struck her, but not hard,
on the arm and said ho would stop if
she would behave She did not con
sent Finally he held her in the cor
ner and hit her somewhat harder, bnt
not so forcibly as represented by
the other side. She then left
the room saying she was going home.
Later her parents came to interview
htm.
He further testified lo show her pre
vious conduct aud how she had been
once before punished. With tins wit
ness through, both sides rested and
the arguments were made to the jury.
After due deliberation they rendered
a verdict of "not guilty".

The Parillc
Providence got in its work in great
shape on the little steamer Tom Mor

that morning the boat left Willapa
bound for Nnhcotta Sealaud. On
board were John McMillan and wife
of Hoquiam, Al. Stream of North Cove,
Judge Cobb of Tacoma, G. C. Fulton
and Wm. Loch of Astoria, and a negro
miaslrel troupe The boat put Al.
Steam and Judge Cobb ashore in a
dingey at Toke's point, but instead of
making the turn and heading down
the bay the captain, Sparrow, put his
wheel around and stood down the
coast When daylight came the truth
appeared in all its startling rugged
ness, and as the passengers dropped
on the fact they breathed prayers of
thankfulness aud got the captain to
turn round and get back as quick as
tne Almighty would let him.
"Three wise men of Gotham went to

Had the usual rough water pre
vailed along that stretch of coast, the
little boat would, in all probability,
never have seen land again, and tlie
crabs and transplanted lobsters would
have had a picnic. Fortunatclv for
the party, the water wti3 smooth, and
the only result was a little more trav

gained for, arriving at their destina

WEIBHIM THE GOLD.
Great Stacks of Com for Duties On
Mjortetl Goois.
LIGHT TimSTIES THIIOWX OUT.
Collector Hobson was seated at his
desk yesterday morning when a
Mokmxg Astokian reporter saw him,
with sundry stacks of gold in front of
him wliich had just been paid as duty
on 50 tons of Liverpool salt aud 12,926
boxes tin plate just arrived on the
British ship Jfenai. The coin aggro
gated in value $1-1,220.20, and looked
attractive in rows piled two inches or
twenty in height
"Now would be a good time to skip,"
was the observation of one, but even if
that were the intention a man couldn't
skip very far with that much on his
person.
Tliis coin goes by express to the
sub treasury at San Francisco. A
plain, ordinary private individual
sending so much money would get a
draft on an Astoria bank and send it
that way, but TJncle Sam works in a
mysterious way his wonders to per
form, and has all coin sent by express.
The count completed, E. Z. Fergu
son, as one of tlie last of his many
graceful official acts, stepped to the
glas3cae which contains so much
bijouterie and verlu, and removed
therefrom a scales, for the government
is so particular that the coin must be
weighed.
This scales is so delicately adjusted
that it would weigh the unexpressed
thoughts of tin infant, and its poiso is
so fragile that the llntlering of a mos
quito's wing would disturb it
Being in iosition the weight repre
senting a light twenty dollar gold
piece was put in one side, and one of
the 711 twenties on the table on the
other. There are two weights, -one
representing the weight of the twentv
dollar piece as it leaves the mint, the
other the lowest weight allowed by the
mint officials for ordinary wear and
tear. The latter was used.
Collector Hobson selected those only
which lore date prior lo 1SS0, as those
since then arc always found full weight:
one of the vintage of "Gl was over
weight, one or '77 was so light as to jus
tify the belier that a Chinese "sweater"
had lcen at work on it, and half a dozen
more were unable to hold the weight
level, and so were tossed to one
side to lx replaced by coin up to the
standard.
"If we j-ent one down to the San
Francisco sub treasury," said Mr.
Hobson, "that was underweight, they
would stamp a big "L on it and send
it back."
The weighing being over, the coin
was securely packed and strapped,
and will go to the sub treasury.
The duty on tin plate is 1.1 cents
lcr pound, the plate coming in 112
pound lx)xes. The present congress,
will, it is thought, increase the duty on
this necessary article to encourage its
production in this country.
CHANCING AN OFFIOK
That Was the Scene of Many a Story.
The clatter of saws and hammers
and the pile of broken briok alongside
the First National bank led a Mokn
ixa Astorian reporter yesterday to in
vestigate what was going on. He
found that the old office was under
going considerable change, and that
handsome new oak counters and rail
ing and plate glass was being put in,
greatly to the improvement of the con
venience of the premises.
The old marble mantel and fireplace
was removed. That fireplace has been
the scene of a good many nar
rated exploits, the semicircle
of the captains and bar pilots and
British skippers that used to sit
around in the years gone by, having
had many a yarn to spin as they
smoked and looked at the glowing
coals.
Mariners from all the seas have sat
there and told tales of voyages -and
wrecks and hair-breadth escapes.
Men have come iu exhausted and told
of weeks of suffering and privation,
aud many a good story has been heard
beside that old fireplace that has now
vanished, forever, lo be replaced by
the chink of coin and the rustle of
crisp currency.

A PROLIFIC PAIR.
Who Obeyed the Scriptural Injanction to
Ah Uaasaal Exteat.
Astoria came very near .having her
population increased, yesterday, by
the number of 24 persons in one lump.
On board of the Santa Rosa in the
steerage was a German family of 22
children, aside from the parents. This
may seem like an over statement, but
it is well verified. The mother stated
that they had been living in California,
but they had heard so much of Wash
ington that they concluded a better
living could be made there than in the
south. She said she had been
strongly persuaded to stop in
Astoria, because sho hod no
definite place in mind, but the assur
ances of support wero not positive
enough to warrant hec getting off here.
When asked if the children stood the
sea voyage well the reply was made
that the older ones were sick while the
younger ones seemed to keep their
stomachs well balanced.
This is a very remarkable case. Prob
ably there are very few families of like
numbers in the country, or who have
held together so well. They could
almost start a village of their own.
The oldest child was a fair haired man
30 years of age: the youngest a little
toddling lassie. The family gronp
attracted universal attention.
