REVENUE LAUNCH IN DANGER.
Port Townsend, Wash., July IB. The
continued non-arrival of the United
States revenue launch "Black Pup," from
Roche (Harbor, occasions a general belief
that the little vessel has been swamped
in the Straits of Fuca. She left Roche
Harbor on Thursday last and although
the run usually consumes but eight hours
no report of the launch has been received.
Searching parties are out, but they have
found no trace of her. The craft is used
by the customs officers In tho suppres
sion of smuggling. She is in command of
Captain Horace West, who until recent
ly was first lieutenant of the revenue
cutter Walcott. The Pup also carried
three sailors from the cutter Grant, now
In Bering sea. If not reported by day
light tomorrow, the fleet of searching
vessels now out under command of Cap
tain Frank Tu'ttle will bo doubled.

known as the "Shotgun League," left
tonight for Puget Sound to attend an
Important meeting of officers of the or
der. The membership has been chiefly
confined to Eastern Washington and
Northern Jtiaho, but the movement has
beei started to organize extensively in
Western Washington, with a view of
extending the order into Oregon and
California. It Is said the council will
also take up some differences which
threatened to disrupt the federation.
The order is sictet and is military in
its forms. It. originated among farmers
who had mortgaged their homes and
cropa, and Its purpose is understood id
be reslstence to foreclosures.
THE WILEY CHINESE.
San Francisco, July 15. The Chinese
have discovered a new way by which to
beat the exclusion act. It is by landing
Chinese here as natives of this state.
The federal officers here have received
Information that a ring has been formed
here by the Chinese and whites to land
the Chinese fraudulently. The Mongo
lians are to be shipped here from Hong
Kong as natives of California and for
v:ry one that Is landed, the ring is to
receive 1200. There are now said to be
203 young Chinese on the way here to be
landed as natives. Collector Wise has
learned of the existence of the ring,
and he is already taking meins to pre

V.ctorU B. C, July 16.-Foret fires
are raglig at Teiegraph Bay, four miles
distant from here, and the destruction of
of the V.ctorla PwwOer Works Is threat
ened. In the magazine is stored 80,000
pounds of nltro glycerine, and the grav
est fears are entertained that the fire
will reach It. The local firemen fought
it all oight, being relieved this morning
by the employes of the works. The mag
azine is a wooden building and it Is
feared that sparks nuy set fire to it.
DALY DENIES IT.
Chicago, . July IS. Marcus Daly, who
Is in Chicago, emphatically denied the
report today that W. A Clark, the mil
lionaire mine owner, has disposed of his
wxlnlng interests in Montana to the An
aconda company. Mr. Daly said:
"There la not one word of truth in the
assertion. I cannot understand how suet I
a report could bo sent out. Poes'.bly wry.
absence from' home has. suggested the
opportunity to tmke a, moom'ary sen
sation in Montana circles."
A CLEVER CAPTURE.
Forger Anderson Again in the Toils
Evidence Strong Against Him.
A. M. Anderson, commonly known as
D.ver Anderson, was arrested by Con
stable Oberg yesterday morning and plac
ed in a cell la the county Jail. He is
charged with, a serious offense and on
which the officer claims Will land him
In the penitentiary. It is the crlma of
forgery. Last Saturday morning Ander
son went into the Portland saloon and
after buying several rounds ot drinks
for himself and a few associates, handed
the bartender, John Copella, a check for
$68, on the Astoria National Bank, and
Signed by T. K. Johnson. The bartender
handed him $34, on the check, which to
gether with $3 for drinks end fifty cents
which was advanced later, made a total
of $37.60. Yesterday morning one of the
proprietors of the Portland went to the
'bank on which the check was drawn
and inquired whether it was good or not
He was Informed that Mr. Johnsn had
no money on deposit in. the bank. An
examination of the check was made and
it was discovered that rha date was July
15th and that the number was 1921. The
bank officials were familiar with the sig
nature of T. K. Johnson and the signa
ture on the forged check being so sim
ilar they were inclined to at first think
that perhaps a mistake had been made.
Constable Oberg, who was in the bank
at the time, took another view, claiming
that in his opinion Mr. Johnson had never
tin all his lrfe issued the number ot checks
stated in the forged paper, and he
thought It curious also that a check
drawn up on the 13th or before should
be dated the 15th. In this the bank offi
cers agreed and an information was
svonn out against Anderson. Constable
Oberg found his man in the Tongue
Point saloon, In Upper Astoria. When the
officer entered the room, Anderson ran
Into a back room; the constable followed
and caught him Just as he threw a small
bundle of papers out of a window. The
officer asked the proprietor of the place
to go outside and pick up the papers
that had been thrown out oi Uia window,
which was done, and the package found
to oonitaiin a large number of Astoria
National Bank checks. Several blank cer
tificates of deposit and blank promisso
ry notes wre also in the package. An
derson, resisted arrest and it became ne
cessary for the officer to use his club.
He finally submitted and walked quietly
to the prison.
In the Justice count yesterday afternoon
Anderson's preliminary examination took
place. During the progress of the trial
the prisoner laughed and Joked as It it
was a funny tilling to be accused of such
a serious offense and expressed a desire
to look at the forged check, which Dep
uty District Attorney Curtis smilingly
told him would be shown him soma other
time. Mr. T. K. Johnson testified that
the signature of his name on the check
was a forgery and Judge Abercroinfcle
bound Anderson over to await the action
of the grand: Jury under $500 bonds.
This Is the. second time that Anderson
has "been arrested for forgery and he has
for many years been regarded by the po -
lice as a hard character. His first arrest:
for forgery was in Portland last winter
and on account of the Insufficiency of the
evidence he escaped with a few months
in the county Jail. Officer Oberg Cs en
titled to much credit for the skillful
and speedy manner in which he ran
down and captured the swindler.
THE RAILROAD.
Lost Opportunity, But Time Will Mend
Matters. ,
Yesterday the members of the commit'
tee of twenty-one accomplished little In
securing subsidy deeds fro.n the Asto-
rians who hold property on the west a.de.
Those holding property on the west side
who live In the city are among the most
prominent cltlsens, and it seems strange
that these same people who have done
so much already should now hesitate
to make good their promises in regard to
the west side property, which is Just as
much a part of the deal as that on this
side of the bay.
Mr. Hammond went to Portland Friday
and It Is understood that the prime object
of his visit was to make preliminary ar
rangements to commence the work of
construction, believing that matters
were soon to be completed by the com
mittee so that he could go ahead. Yes
terday Mr. Hammond wird his family
to Join hrm in Portland and accompany
him to Yaqulna bay over the old Oregon
Pacific road, where about 200 members
of the Eastern press are to be enter
tained by the local press of (Portland.
It Is to be regretted that the coummlttee
could not have wired Mr. Hammond that
all was ready here for him to proceed
with the work on the, railroad, as that
gentleman would have secured suck no
tices In the leading papers of the country
of Astoria and her progress and oppor
tunities as would have been worth thous
ands of dollars to this city. This may
yet be accomplished if sharp work is
done today and tomorrow. The "twenty
one" and the old right of way commit
tees are determined that the credit of
Astoria shall be maintained and her
promises made good, and will not give
vp the fight unit 11 the last plank of the
bridge Is burned from under them. Borne
day Astorians will appreciate the labor
and self sacrifice of these men who have
endured more and sacrificed more for
the welfare and benefit of the' public
than they would ever dream of doing
for their own business.
Mr. Hammond will return soon from
Yaqulna, but It Is hoped that the com
mittee can we him in less than forty
eight hours of th completion of their la
bors and the fulfillment ' of Astoria's
promises, and all right minded citizens
should aid them in every possible way.
There are only a few of the obstruction
ists outstanding, and it is not believed
that they will eventually stay out. It
is only a question of time und technical'
itie their hearts are in the right places
-but the committees urge that action be
taken promptly and all prejud.ces end
minor matters dropped so that valuable
time may be saved. .

A band of horses and mules from the
John Day country, where bicycles are not
numerous, were being driven westward,
bound for market, and Frank Chamber
lain, riding a wheel, encountered them
as he was descending a grade east of
Prineville, says the Valley Record.
Thinking a stampfede the easiest way out
of the scrape, the daring bicyclist Jerked

The Fossil Journal gives the following
recipe for making millions: . William
Dickson Lord, who lost a fortune while
In the horse business at Kowev Creek,
Gilliam (then Wasco) county, years ago,
frns started In to make a fortune In the
same business, having recently acectid
a situation as traveling agent of the
Horse Camming company, of Portland.
Mr. Lord ays that his firm has purchased
7,000 head of horses from Jake Swltzler
of Umatilla county at $3 per head, and
he is to go after the first consignment
of them wext wjek. The U purchase
price will be recovered by merely selling
the hide for $2.50 and the mane and tall
for 60 cents, leaving the whole of the
eklroned horse for Working expenses and
profit. He said that 300 pounds of grease
had been got'from a large horse and that
100 pounds of grease would be rendered
from the smallest cayuse. The grease
will probably be sold s oleomargarine at
W cents per pound. He thinks there's
millions in it.
Definite information cannot be given
regarding the grain crop until harvested,
and that will be in a few days. Some
persons say there will be a good yield,
while others state there will not be one-
fourth of a crop. There are portions
of th' county (hat have suffered from
the drouth and from tho grasshoppers,
and in other places grain never appeared
in a better condition at this season of the
year. Frequently the appearance of grain
is very deceptive, and where one would
think there would be small returns there
will i an abundant yield and vice versa.
We believe this will be true this se.i
Bon, and after harvest we imagine very
many will be disappointed at the amount
of grain threshed from worthless fields.
It Is generally , believed, however, that
the result of the coming harvest to farm
era wlll.be far more satisfactory thai the
last one was. Times-Mountaineer.
E. M. Horton and Ed Cummlngs, who

Coos county has taken, up th good
roads movement and proposes to have
some roads that are passable at all sea

taken the Improvement of one of its
main highways with coal ashes, having
an abundance of that material on hand.
The ashes are to be put on eight feet
in width and one foot deep end cost by
contract 75 cents per ton. These ashes
are said to make a firm and lasting road
bed, and in a coal producing county like
Coos Is a comparatively cheap material.
The movement for good roads is growing
til over the state and before many years
Oregon will1 have a system of highways
equal to any state In the union. Enter

Wallace, of th'a Salem cannery, has re
ceived an order from a California fralt
paeki'iig house for 500 cases Royal Ann
cherries to be shipped w.thout labels. It
is easy to understand why the goods are
ordered thus, says the Post. Callfornians
have shipped Oregon fruits to the east
ern markets, lo, theia many years, und
claimed and received credit for them for
California. It is the intention of this
California firm to take these Oregon
cherries, label them In California end
ship them east as California fruit, thus
robbing our state of the credit Justly her
due. Mr. Wallace says he will not fill
the order under these conditions.
