No one appeared for the defendant, not even an authorized person. Hill him self was not there, probably expect ing that his attorney would attend to matters, but he was likewise absent. He had goue to Portland though noti fied on the previous evening that the rax? wonld come come up to-day. Hence the defendant's side was tried by the jndge. The verdict shows uite plainly that the delinquent stock, nearly 30.000 will have to be paid. The verdict in this case was SI, 500.

The real estate transfers opened and closed light for the past week, but during the middlo of it and on Friday the recoil was a heavy one. It was about the second best week for the year, and shows that dirt is going to change hands in a lively stylo before ranch more time elapses. Inquiry xmo-ng the real estate dealers found them in different moods. One of two were very elated, the majority not complaining, while a few were a little blue. All have . unbounded confidence in the future. The movement in railroad plans, both steam and cable, has had a booyant tendency and prices aro ad vancing. Owners of inside property ro sot anxious to sell at prevailing rates because they know that tho values are surely increasing. Not many dealers made any special report, but'a few had sales to mention. Van l)usen Bros, have sold thirty lots in block 20 of Hustler & Aiken's. Captain Gray has sold nine lots in Warren too. "Frauk Spittle engineered the 360.000 deal of Friday, besides selling three lots on Hustler & Aiken's aad one in McClure's. Robb .t Parker have found a mar ket for 4 lots in Hanthorn's and 2 ia Powell's Astoria. J. H. Mansell has bad quite a sale of lots in Chelsea. W. R. Smith has disposed of 6 lots in Eaneys. The total transfers for the week ssaouatto over $118,000, an average of. newly ta0,000per day. Tho best day was Friday with a list of $72,900. The full asaount for the year, now ntnadc at atont $973,000, and the $1,00800 will probably be passed wiu the week. ANOTHER FOREIGN IDEA. SMPPJUg COHJa Rfe SatDlOIl ' -i a:it3L4x AG EXT ITEJiE. A keen looking business man has been in town for tbe last two or three (jayS making inquiry relative to a new idea. He has been in the United Slates onlv three weeks but talks the . ", ... ,. American language like a native. He represents the great fish firm of .T. Linderberger & Co., . ni: tt. i... - t it or Berlin. Hamburg and ar- saw, and like the English syndi- cate is after the salmon of the Colum bia river. He doesn't want to buy any can neries, however; what he wants is the "raw material"; he wants to get forty Germany, there to be canned in a imported into Germany, but there is no tariff in Germany on raw salmon m any snape. Here is wliere the Ger man firm see their opportunity. They j propose to save that ten cents a pound. j They want to make contracts with can- ners or fishermen or- anybody else to j furnish them salmon at six cents a pound on the river. Whoever con tracts to supply them must agree to furnish a certain amount, the salmon must weigh twenty pounds or ever: they will supply salt and barrels and pay the six cents a pound for the cleaned fish. ( One Washington canner signed an agreement yesterday to furnish the German firm one hundred thousand pounds of spring salmon this summer at that price. The contract says that the salmon is to bo cut in two pieces, there is to be thirty pounds of salt to one hundred pounds of salmon; after the salmon is salted it is to lie here four days, and then bo sent to Port land. There it is to lie in the cold storage warehouse for two weeks, and then be shipped to Germany. The agent also made a contract with an Astoria canner who agrees to fur nish him another lot at a price a little in excess of six cents. The German representative says that the reason he insists on having the salmon he buys weigh twenty pounds each, is that the salt would go through a smaller fish so thoroughly that it couldn't be freshened. He wants to get fish as largo as possible, and anything under twenty pounds wouldn't answer the purpose. The salt is to be taken out of the fish upon its arrival in Germauyj and a good sized salmon, can, he claims, be made sis fresh as the d.uy it was taken out of tho river. He says that his house got quite a lot of Alaska salmon last year, and experimented with them. The trial worked satisfactorily. The Alaska salmon had been salted iu barrels, and upon its arrival had been freshened, and then canned and was found to be sweet and f reslu He is well posted on the condition of the European salmon market, and says that with the present outlook he does not see how the canners on this river can pay $1.25 a fish this season. He doesn't care who he makes his con tracts with so that they are responsi ble parties and will do what they agree. The Washington canner who has made the contract referred to above says that ho will catch as usual this season. All the salmon twenty ounds and above, to the amount of 120,000 IxHmds, he will sell to the German linn; the remainder, the little fish, he willpack himself. Just how it can pay anybody on the Columbia river to have anything to do with the scheme is a question. Columbia river salmon the season through will average seventeen pounds of clear fish. If the canners can't afford to pay $1.25 a fish, they can't afford to agree to de liver the German agency fish cleaned and net weight at 0 cents a pound; and if the gill net fishermen can't I afford to catch salmon for tho canners I for less than SL25 a fish, neither can oi uieir ujji iuay usu. No canner who calculates to pack this season will care to make auy con tracts that way if he has to depend on gill nets for his fish. Mr. Lindenberger says he has a freight privilege from the Canadian Pacific, the Northern Pacific, and tho Union Pacific roads, guaranteeing him a through rate of four cents a pound from Astoria to Hamburg. If he gets his fish at six cents a pound he can land his salmon in Hamburg at a total cost to him just representing tho German duty on the imported American manufactured ar ticla Astoria Athletie Clnb. As suggested by The MoKNina Astoriax three weeks ago, the young men of this city, and some that are not as young as they used to be have decided to orgauize an Athletic club in this city. Already 116 names have been appended to a preliminary call, and to-morrow night, at the opera house, there will be a meeting to dis cuss ways and means, effect an organ ization and get down to business. You aro invited to come up to-morrow night, and see what is going on. Off For Alaska. Louis H. Tarpley left yesterday for Portland, where he took last night's steamer for San Francisco, from' where ho will leave on the 15th for Ounalaska. Ho was recently ap pointed United States -commiasioner for Ounalaska and goes there to enter upon the discharge of his duties as such. He was accompanied by Archie Allen, who .goes to Afognak, in the Aleutian islands, where he is employed with a commercial company as book keeper. Salem Statesman, 7. TelehBeljeUrlBC Maase.

"Work Golns Rapidly Ahead on Thi Line. The Bay Railway is the name of the new Tavfor motor line to be built around 'Smith Point and along the shore of Youug's bay. There is one feature of this plan which impresses the observer with its solidity. Yery little has been said publicly concern ing the work, but it has been surely going on in one way or another. Quite a while ago, before many had even heard of the proposed route, the rails, cars, and one engine had been ordered. Civil engineer Thielsen, who has the road in charge has just finished tho plans of a trestle work to be built be tween the Washington and Seaside canneries. The contract has been let toArangs& Johnson, and work will commence at once. It is to be com pleted by the 10th of May. The tres tle is to be 1.312 feet long and will contain 140,000 feet of timber. The centers will be 1G feet apart and each one composed of three posts. The av erage height will be 13 feet. It is to be substantially constructed and contain all sawed material. The motor line will be of standard gauge, of which the rails will be iu Astoria by April 1, ready for putting down on the track. The contract will also be let Monday for the construction of the earthwork of the road from Phillips' Point around Smith's Point and up the bay. From the present outlook, this road will be the first one in running order outside of the present horse car system. In fact before the summer is well started Astorians can go flying aronnd Smith's Point in a real motor car. Solid sure work like this is what will give tone to the city's prospects, and make confidence in the future. If the proposed cable line is bnilt as soon as all hope and expect, this city will have street car facilities only found in places triple its size and pop illation. IS PUOHABLY DROWNED. Disappearance of John W. Anderson. John "W. Anderson, a Norwegian, is supposed to be drowned in the Co lumbia river. Last summer Mr. An derson worked on tho government jetty at Ft. Stevens. In the winter he, Thos. H. Lunde and Emil Jessacn, formed a partnership to fish for stur geon, living at Joe's Pouit about two miles up the river from Clifton. A couple of weeks ago Mr. Lunde sold Ins share in tho business to the other two. Last Saturday Jessaen came to Astoria leaving Mr. Anderson at home. Returning Tueaday evening and not finding Mr. Anderson or skiff at their house, ho called on a neigh bor who bakes bread for them; but they had not seen Mr. A. since Sun day evening. Nothing was learned regarding his absence until yesterday; a man reported tho finding of a skiff some three miles below Joe's Point On examination it was found to be the one used by Mr. Anderson. The skiff was bottom up, adrift in the river. It is believed Mr. Anderson was at work at his sturgeon lines and in some man ner capsized the skiff, being encum bered with oil coat and rubber boots, and was unable to reach the shore. Mr. Anderson came to Oregon re cently from Wrest Union, Iowa, where his parents reside. Ho was an honest, upright man and his friends are doing all they can to find him, but as time passes, hope fails and they mourn for him as lost 100.000 Cases of Salmon on Ifaad. F. M. Warren, in conversation about the salmon situation, said yes terday merning: "There are at the present time 100, 000 cases of unsold salmon on the Pa cific coast" "When iu Astoria, "Wednesday, I met A. Booth's manager. He showed me a letter that he hadTvcently re ceived from their London agent, which stated there was 'enough salmon iu Europe for the next two years to come. Don't put up a can.' " He was asked what the canuerymeu were doing towards commencing oper ations. Mr. "Warren said: "I talked with most of the promi nent cauncrymen about the prospects for opening. They aro all getting ready, but none talk of putting up any fish this season." In reply to a question as to the opening of his Cathlamet cannery, Mr. Warren replied: "I have not matured my plans jis to the opening, but will run it I can get the fish at a price that will pay to put them up.'' Here the conversation ceased as the steamer hove in sight Uuthhimet Uazdlc. Salmon on tlie Kraer. C. E. Hobson, who has now an ex tensive salmon cannery on the Fraser, says the Vancouver World, has re turned from a trip to England. Mr. Hobson had a very stormy passage' our, tor eight days the passengers not being allowed on deck, and the whole passage occupying ten davs. While in England he concluded sales of 15,- uuu cans or salmon. With the opening of the season Mr. Hobson intends pushing the canning business willi still more vigor than ever. He will build an addition to tho cannery now in operation on tho Fraser, giving it a capacity of about 1.500 cans n dav. Besides this he will build two new canneries, one on "Ruttc Inlet and the other further up the coast, both 180 feet in length by 90 feet in breadth, anu wnn a capacity ol about SOU cans each per dav. The mnchinpn- 1ms been arriving here these past few daj-s, but as much of the works as can will be constructed in British Co lumbia. Mr. Hobson predicts a "rapid growth in that industry during the coming season. "crai ofPapr SareK ilcfLifc It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap ping paper, but it saved her life.

His Still as a Senier Saved His Life alii Forte. TIW1L LIXG IZXl'IZJtlEXCK. "That yarn you had in this morn ing about a fellow who wanted to have a message sent with just the name aud address, to let his friend know where he wa3, remindedmo of the same thing that happened in Victoria.' The speaker was an old man whose face showed many years outdoor ex posure. He was leaning on the rail of the AV.U. TCo. office yesterday morning, talking to Messrs. Hender son and Urquhart The reporter thought from the looks of the old man that he had a more in teresting reminiscence than the simple standing off of a man who wanted to send a dead head message. Nor was he mistaken. The old man looked at the wires running into the office in a far off sort of way, and after a while said: "I never go into a telegraph office, and see the wires .and hear the click, but I think ot an electric button and the tingle of a bell, and the longest half hour of my life. T11 tell the story and then we'll go into Campbell's and take something. Some years ago my life and $20,000 belonging to my partmer and myself were saved and a gang ofburglara were broken up by means of an elec tric bell. In our youth we had both been telegraph operators, but iu the exodns ot Fraser river years ago we abandoned the sounder for the mines and followed the many who went up into British Columbia seeking fortune. We had luck iu prospecting, and after a few years sold onr claim for 37, 000 of which we took 17,000 in prom issory notes and started east with the balance chiclly in bank notes se curely secreted in our trunlcs. It ap M?ars that a couple of outlaws had discovered the sale and learned the amount we had upon our clothing and in our grips. I had left my partner at the clerk's desk of one of the new fangled hotels just started in that country 'd followed the porter as he carried the trunks into our room located on the fourth floor. Arter dismissing him, I had shut the door, neglecting to lock it, however, and had turned to the washstand behind, when I heard the door swing slowly open behind me. Thinking it was my partner, I rinsed the lather from my eyes and turned only to find a man holding a six-shooter in my face, another locking the door aud another upon his knees already breaking open the trunk. I wanted first to argue the matter from a standpoint of morality, and so nat urally inquired what right they had to disturb me.whcn I was making my toi let. The man with a gnu remarked axiomatically, 'might makes all things right, stranger, and this is right,' tap ping the shooter with the disengaged hand. I felt that the silent instru ment in his hand was a deeiwr aud more potent argument than any I could advance under existing circum stances. 'Back him to the wail and keep him covered until we get the stuff and then we'll slit his throat and slope,' remarked the leader. Though the programme did not suit me, I acquiesced, as far as the wall. 'Put your hands behind yon," com manded my jailer. I did. when a happy thought struck me. My right hand came in contact with a knob, which I recognized as the electric bell which communicated with the office. This was a feature of civilization the bandits were not famil iar with. Unobserved by them 1 be gan sending the following message: Old Pard Threa hold-ups hava the door locked and after gtlling our dual iutenu murdering ma. Gat help and conie at once. Hring a step ladder with you so that 3-011 can shoot over tho tran som. My only hope was that my partner might be still loungiug about the clerk's desk, in which case his car would quickly catch on. There was but ono chance in a hundred, and I be gan to perspire freely. I started to repeat the message, when, bang! bang! two shots wore fired from over the door, and the man who had not been hit turned around just sufficiently to let me plant one good one just back of the right ear. It would be drawing it mild to say we had sprung a surprise parly on the visitors. I had my gun whipped out in an instant ami held the devils at bay until my pal could get in aud tie them up, except the biggest one, who had passed in his checks with the first shot They were both killed that same night by the guard in attempting to make their es cape. "As I had expected, when the bell began repeating my message, my part ner was there and commenced taking it. The clerk gazed in such astonish ment that he forgot to call 'front a pitcher of ice water,' when my pal pulled a shooter and remarked, 'The first mau that leaves this room I'll drap.' When he got through he ex plained, cautioned everybody else not to follow, took a Chicago drummer in whom he had confidence, snatched a ladder and jis soon as ho could swing himself up the rungs, there was a clean bill or health given. It was tho closest 'call' I have ever had, and I would much - sooner keep 'cases' among a lot of 'tin horn' card sharps than to go through a similar half hour's experience." Then Mr. Henderson said if the re porter'd come around some time when lib wasn't so busy he'd tell about tho time the New York Herald corre spondent at Victoria crossed to tho mainland in a canoe and got his Alas ka account in ahead of all the other New York papers. Only a Triflins Drawback. Mr. Watson, superintendent of con struction of the Astoria and South Coast railroad, was in town yesterday. He says the only drawback about the railway now, as far as we are con cerned, is in the incomplete right-of-way. It is to be hoped that all will unite in having this matter amicably settled. 7i7fo6oi-o Independent, ti. mm 9 Eupcpsy. This is what you ought to have, in fact, you must have it, to fully enjoy life.
