IT WAS EDITORS DAY
Several Columbia River Editors
in Astoria Yesterday.
DRY DOCK FOR ASTORIA.
Mr. Hammond and an Eminent En
gineer are Figuring: on a Large
One for Astoria.
Yesterday was "Editor's Day" on
the Bailey Gaiaert, and Manager Sec
ley had his hands full looking after thu
comforts of the pencil pushers. Fol)
lowing -were the papers represented
Oregon Mist, St. Helens, Jno. R. Bee
gle; Ranier Review, W. H. Imus; Ska
mokawa Eagle, Mr. Williams; Cath
lamet Gazette, A. Davis; Portland Sun,
W. C. Cowglll. Mr. CowgiU was ac
compan-led by his wife. The newspaper,
representatives were the guests of the
Columbia River and Puget Sound Nav
Igation Company, and it was through
Mr. Seeley the trip was planned. The
genial manager of the company to
which belongs the splendid steamet
Bailey Gatzert, wanted Astoria's neigh
bors to know that a railroad was to bs
built, and thought it an excellent Idea
to bring their representatives here,
and by personal observation let them
see what was being done.
Upon the arrival of the party, they
were escorted to the Irving Olub, where
they were met by several gentlemen
of the various committees, and an
hour or so spent In pleartinit conversa
tion. later they were accompanied
by members of the local press a.bout
the city and visited the newspaper of
fices. At 5 o'clock they, together with
representatives of the Astoria press.
were entertained on board the Gatzert
with a eplendld lunch, Manager Seeley
presenting each guest with a copy o,
the War Cry Just before being seated
at the table. Although their stay wa
of but short duration, they expressed:
themselves as departing with a splr.'t
of the enthusiasm that prevails her,
over the rellroad proposition.
DRY DOCK FOR ASTORIA.
Prominent French Engineer Consults
With Mr. Hammond Regarding It
That Astoria is on the eve of a b!g
stride ahead to greatness, Is indicated
by the fallowing from the Portland
Sun, whj.'h shows that the attention of
the Commercial World Is attracted this
way:
"Captain J. E. Lombard, marine sur
veyor for Veritas, France, anl rep
resentative of the San Francisco board
cf marine underwriters, who has just
recently returned from California, wa'
In conversation with a Sun man la-t
nlgnt. Captain Lombard was in con
vereatlon with Mr. A. B. Hammond,
the builder of the Astoria railroad, lr.
reference to the builtUng or a dry d cl
of the largest dimensions for ,ih ? Co
umbla river. The enterprise will b
one of the Immediate results of th
new road and will be a controlling fac
tor in Increasing the number of vv
sels to come to Oregon.
Captain Lombard was present in Sa
Franoisoo when the new floating d;'j
dock was laundtied there. This do
cost $125,000, and Is 300 feet long by 9
feat wide, capable of handling tha lar7
est ships. This Is the flfl-h dock ir
San Francisco.
With a commodious drydock here.
a large number of ships would repor
'n here instead of going to San Fran
clseo or the Sound. A vessel bound fo
t.is port, If she meets any d sas er.
the captain will, nine oases out of ten
go to San Francisco or Puget Sound
because ' Lloyds and Veritas require
eaoh ship, under suoh clrsumaLan es
to be docked. He says we 'have lo' l
many vessels just for this reason alone
Many inquiries are made In Europ
why a seaport receiving as many shipr
as this has no drydock. There is n
other port in the iworld of 'hialf the si t
of this but what has a drydock. A
drydock on the Columbia would pay i
per cent on 'the Investment the firs
year. The last duck In San Franclsc
was originated by a lot of Engrl's .
ship-owners for the purpose of havl-.i
their ships properly cleaned. The iro
and steel bottom vessels of the prvseni
day gather barnacles and moss on
their hulls, whlcih gremtly Imped'"
their progress, and where the- ar
docks convenient all would have ves
sels do ked and cleaned and painted
This process will save twenty days o
the return voyage.
A dock similar to the one In Sa
Francisco. Captain Lomfbard says, ca'.
be built In the Columbia for JlOO.000,
as It would not be necessary to coppe-i
the bottom, there 'being no teredo lr
the Columbia, as Is the case at San
Francisco and the Sound. Young's
Bay would be an Ideal location for
the dock. Captain Lombard is to havf
another meeting with Mr. Hammond
and no doubt some scheme will be
arrived at for the construction of thi
dry dock in connection with the new
road. Mr. Hammond says that this
Is but the beginning of the side issuet,
resulting from the new line for thi
benefit ot Oregon and her business en
t rprlses.
The road meeting held at Olny
rohool house yMtenday was largely at-tt-nded
by parties Hvbig along the road
Judg Gray and County Commtssdoners
Wooden and Peterson, wtth C. J. Cur
tis and J. T. Lighrter, were present.
After a full exptanaftknt and discuaalon
rf the proposed Improvement under the
Cross road law. a motion was a-Vstcd
favoring the imrtrnvememt -without a
dissenting folce. The meetlnff devel
oped the fact that people generally
along the line of the road are In favor
of the Improvement and It is doubtful
If there will be any objection Whatever
to commencing work as soon as It
can be done under the necessary Inci
dent of .putting the law In operation.
The following committee was ap.-oknteu
by Commissioner Peterson, chairman
of the meeting, on the preliminary sur
vey and other matters pertaining to
the manner of the improvement:
Messrs. Jno. E. Logan, John Stalker,
Andrew Young, S. B. Howard, A. B.

LOCAL SPORTING NOTES.
. By Sunshine.
P. J. McGowan'e boat, the Rambler,
whloh Is a fast one, s likely to.be
In order to race in August.
Harry Crtbb'e yadhlt will soon be
launched and the owner and designer
will give the boats from Portland some
lively races during the next regatta.
With ithe assurance of a railroad
the coming regatta should be a sever
or eight days' program, and made In
teresting enough to draw ten thousand
people to the city.
It Is a great wonder that some of
our young men of means do not form
a boating club and purchase some out
riggers, shells, etc., as during the sum
mer months there is no 'better place for
sculling.
One wonders why the citizens of As
torla do not club together and build a
boat to beat the Mayflower, Pearl and
the Maud K. It would cause no end
of Interest In the regatta, and the
stockholders would make enougtti, pro
vldlng she would be fast enough, to
win, to pay for her In two races.
Mr. W. T. Chutter, manager for the
A. Booth Packing Co., launched their
new schooner last Wednesday. She is
much larger than the Grace and is ex
peoted to be a faster sailer than any
thing on the Columbia river. Mr.
Ohutter last regatta won both schooner
races with the Grace, and if he enters
both boats this season, should win
first and second prizes.

"SWOPESYSWIPESY."
(From Longfellow's "Hiawatha.")
Far beyond the western prairies
Past the land of the Dakotas
In the fastness of the forests
Close beside the rush of waters
Close beside the peaceful ocean
Where the mighty river ends
Mighty river, rush of waters,
Ever flowing past th lodges
Of Cathlamet and Chenamus,
And the tribes of Old Con omly,
And the Clatsops and Chlnooks,
Ever flowing, ever restless,
On Its shifting, sandy bottom,
Ever shifting, ever changing,
Past tl a lodges I have nvmoned
TIM It mingles with the sea;
This the home of Swopesyswippsy
This Is where he has his wigwam,
He It Is of whom I sing:
Anl the little SwopesyRwIpesy
Learned of every paint Its co'or
Learned Its name nnd combinations
How to mix It on his palette;
How to mix It up in buckets;
How to put It on with brushes
Put it on and make It stay there
Make It stick and stay there ti"htly,
So the sun's rays would not blister,
nd the foes and damp of winter
Would not fade or change the color.

And the hair of bear and sable.
And the long hair of the ramel
Those ha hnnrllpn nulck and deftly:
fashions with them many letters,
Various in style and color,
"That artnrn the signs of commerce,

On the wiwams of the paleface.
