He thinks that they have made a very succerarul be. ginnfng in their hatchery operations In fact, they could not nave started out better or under more favorable auspices. RAILROAD DOINGS. Work on Flavel Line-Built , Bonds. Without Engineer Jamleson with a force, of men, yesterday went to Warrenton to lo cate the permanent line of road to Fki vet, where work will soon commence. It is a fact well worth remembering, that the former attempts to build the GobCe railroad by the Union Pacific ajid others, fell through because of their in ability to sell the bonds of the proposed road. Times were hard and the Eastern and European financial markets were closed to Western railroad schemes, and the financiering of even a small railroad was almost Impossible. The present road will be buWt by Mr. Hammond without the sale of a dollar's worth of bonds. The financial markets on railroad securi ties both at home and abroad lare little improved and it Is a difficult matter to Interest capital In any such enterprises as the Astoria railroad. The feat has been accomplished and Astoria will get her road. Much talk and a great deal of surmis ing has been Indulged In as to the out come of the Gable and Oregon Pacific railroads and as to Mr Hammonds plans In retution thereto. That gentleman says that he Is going to build the Goble roau. If proper connection cannot be made at that point with a transcontinental rail road he (Will tfulld the line dnto Portland where connection can be made. As to the Oregon Pacific, that line will be put In first class condition, necessary better ments to roadway, additions to rolling stock, and Improvements In terminal fa cllltles will be made It Is quite likely that extensions of this line In Oregon will be built, but Mr. Hammond Is not con. Btructrng transcontinental systems nor any great systems of railroad In Oregon. The construction iwork, improvement, and extensions contemplated will be of the tmost benefit and Importance to the state of Oregon tit large, and the Colum bla vailey and Astoria particularly, and will be of greater financial benefit than would be the building of another trans continental line. One matter of great Immediate Import ance to Astoria Is the location of the depot and switching yards for the con duct of business of the road In this city. The committee having this matter 1:1 charge should see to It that alt differences personal feeling and petty wrangles are burled out of sight and a decision reached t once. This is one of the most im portant features now to be dealt with and cannot be settled too soon. Seattle in her usual energetic and business like manner donated and arranged In a few days' time, the most ample and complete railroad terminal facilities in the north west coast, and surely Astoria cannot af ford to ibe behind Seattle In these matters at the present Juncture, TILLAMOOK CABLE. It comes from good authority that at lust Tillamook Rock Is to be connected by caWe with the rest of the world, and hat, at a very early date. Next Tues day, so It Is said, one of the lighthouse tenders will commence and lay the cable from the rock to Indian town, directly In shore from the rock. From the beach the line iwlll run to Elk Creek, thence over the toll roads to a connection with" the government line, already built from Seaside to Fort Stevens. The line from Siuslde to Bald Hid will be abandoned It Is thought that by building a new line via Elk Creek It will be mtfre easily kept in repair during the winter time, as the maiicarrler goes over the road twice each day. Stations will probably be put In at Elk Creek and Seaslee, both for the convenience of the public und for the purpose of testing the line. Hereto fore a difficult problem for the engineers to solve, 'has been the manner In which to connect the cab'.e with the rock so that It would withstand the violence of the heavy seas during the winter months. It has at Inst beero decided to extend an arm from the rock a sufficient distance so that the cable wlM be free from Its rough and ragged edge, and to hold It In Its proper place It will be secured at a dis tance from the rock by a heavy anchor. Telephone dnstead of telegraph as orig inally Intended will be used, thus saving the txpense of an operator 0.1 the rock. CAPTAIN'S WARNING UNHEEDED. Scarcely a 'Doubt Now Exists That Isaac son Was Drowned. Oharles Isaacson, who was employed on the lightship and who it Is supposed was drowned last Sunday, was about 2$ years of age und unmarried. Captain Cann said yesterday that he left the ship last Sunday in one of the small! boats to take a boat ride. Mr. Cann tofid him not to go far from the lightship us the iweather looked threatening, and unless he was a good siwlmmer it would be dangerous. He replied that If he did not get back, the boat would. He then pulled towards the bar He was some four or five miles away when last seen by those on the lightship and appeared to be returning. The storm which the cap tuln had warned him to be careful of, overtook him, and they could see him making frantic efforts to pull tor the ahrp. finally both boat and occupant dis appearing from view. Mr. Cann arrived In the city Tuesday evening, and yesterday morning left for Fort Canby, to see if anything is known at that place concerning the fate of the unlucky man. Mr. Cann says that while he believes he was lost, there Is still a chance that he might have reached a place of safety. The captain was expect ed back last evening, but at 10 o'clock had not returned and the result of his visit is not known. t NOTICE. The annual meeting of Mie stockholders of the Odd Feticnrs' Land and Building Association wfll be JwW at Odd Fellows' Ha on Ttrureday, August SO. at 1 o'clock p. u. By order of the President. A J. MEGLER. Secretary. W. W. KIMBALL CO. Something of Its History, Location and Output. For the benefit of those. If there bs any, who have not heard of the great Klmfbail Co., und the unprecedented fame of the Kimball piano, I will state a few facts In regard to its history, location and output, which I trust will prove of Interest as well as benefit to persons interested in the purchase nf an Instru ment. As far back as the fifties Mr. W. W. Kimball, the head of the Kimball Co., began telling organs made In the east iat Chicago. A few years later recog nizing Chicago's natural advantages over the east as a manufacturing center with all the requisite materials at her very door, and her great geographical advan. tagea as a distributing point, giving the Chicago manufacturer a two fold saving of freight on the raw material east and on the manufactured article west, Mr. Kimball began ' making organs himself. By exercising strict economy In every branch and shrewd business management which has characterized his business car eer, his business grew and it he manufac ture of Kimball organs increased. He was burned out during the great Chicago fire, but was fortunately Insured, and Immediately converted his stable Into a factory and contlmred manufacturing or gans pending the erection of a new fac tory on the west side. This business continued to Increase; new additions were built; a corporation with Mr. Kimball, or the governor, as he Is familiarly called by the employes, as president, was organ ized; a few years later, with his usual keen Insight and business sagacity, he erected another factory and began the manufacture of the Kimball piano. The Kimball factories (piano and organ) to day consist of four five-story factories with a frontage of 140 feet and a depth of 130 feet and have a floor space of over 11 acres, with a capacity of 30 pianos and 60 organs per day. The Kimball piano and organ Is sold in every civil ized country on the globe, with large depots in London, I.verpool, Melbounne, etc. Its rapid growth in popularity and vse and Indorsement by the leading musi cians of the world has dazzled all rivals, uiKll today it is In the .front ranks an acknowledged leadjr, and competitors stand agnast and ask eich other how It happened and what can be done to stop this KOmball In its onward march. Not to know the' Kimball Co. and its Instruments is pardonable in the laity, but is utterty Inexcusable in any one in the -music profession, and If they don't know the Kimball it Is because they are not pasted or have some Interest in not knowing It. In conclusion-1 will state I make this stateme.it to protect the public against any misrepresentations which Interested dealers may undertake to make regarding the Kimball Co., its business and goods, and hope these re marks may help to guide a generous pub Ik in its selection of a reliable Instru ment. The proof of the merit of the new scale Kimball piano Is shown by their phenom- Inal tale, and the class of- people who buy them. Some of Asrla's best musicians use and endorse It. Two carloads of these Instruments are row being soid In Astoria by the manu facturers to private buyers direct at special prices, and are on exhibitin at EGG Commercial street. Kimball Co.'s Pa cific coast warerooms are located In the Marquotn building at Portland. L. V. MOO"RE, Pacl'flc Coast Wholesale Representative Kimball Factories. REGISTERS A KICK. A Citizen Who Does Not Like a Few Things. To the Editor: I understand that the committee ap pointed to manage the reeatta has chosen to give the official program to parties who Intend to charge visitors and the public of Astoria for the privilege of reading It If this Is true, ar.-d I have every reason to be'ileve that It is, the committee has been guilty of a shameful proceeding which ought to be vigorously sat djwn upon. They are going to bring thousands of peoirfe here to what is ostensibly a free show, and make them pay money to see a program of the festivities. In the first place I do' not believe that any bids for programs from outsiders should have been called for at all. Last year our regatta committee printed Its own, programs, every man, woman and child who witnessed the sports was E-up-pCltd, and the expense didn't amount to ten dollars. But even If this year's com mittee had decided to call for bids, -why didn't t'hey do It In a square and manly fashion, by letting people know that they were open for offers? Instead of this they went round privately and advised two or three "on the quiet" to put In applications. The result is that an im position is about to be worked on our visitors. This is no private snap. It is a putyllc regatta given by the citizens of Astoria and to which they have subscrib ed liberally. One of the pleas for draw ing out those subscriptions was the "cost of .programs." Shall our visitors be al lowed to go tack to their homes and tell their friends with sneers that the city of Astoria had to charge for its regatta programs? Of course the committee has so many fearfully heavy expenses to bear that the big amount necessary for printing pro grams could not possibly be spared. Let them see to It that the. blil for private Junketing and half a dozen useless steam belts flying ail over the course from sunrise to sunset doesn't coma to more than three or four hundred dollars.

A viry. pleasing inclde H of caxp life at Gearhart, was the singing of patriotic songg by Mrs. E. E. Coovert, of Vancou ver, Wash. Her rendition of the "Star Spat.gled 'Banner" and ."Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," being very inspiring. Lost evening Tuesday) a mock court martial was held at the camp, affording much diversion to the many visiters. A cot was placed near the flag pole, under which a man was placed; a piece of car pet was then laid near the cot, In such a position that th- man could give it a vigorous pull. The prisoners were then, brought one by one from the guard terit and placed before the Judge advocate they being unconscious of the dangers of the innocent looking carpet on which they were standing. As each man pleaded guilty he was summarily ordered to be shot and as sentence was given the carpet was pulled and a gun fired, the result being a much mlrth-altordlng tumble for the prisoner. Needless to say the crowd thoroughly en Joyed the sport. Dr. H. A. Barmore, son of the genial host of the Hotel Gearhart, with his friend, Dr. E. E. Erhardt, of San Fran Cisco, is here visiting. Both gentlemen are good musicians and no doubt will prove a valuable acquisition to Gear hart society. The bowling alley, which was recently completed, Is proving a big success. Much credit is due the management of the hotel for placing such am attraction on the grounds. Miss E. Blagen and Mr. C. H. Mclsaac are the champion bowlers so far. The guests of the Gearhart hotel are on the qui vive of expectation, owing to the fact that Mr. Barmore, the manager, has promised them a big surprise, those acquainted with the gentleman realize that a rare treat Is In store tonight.
