TH'EY A'RE LOSING (MONEY.
And Huntington Is Not Drawing Any
princely Salary.
San Francisco, Sept. 4. An effort was
made today by the railroad commission
ers to learn thow (much C. P. Huntington
earned for being president of the South
ern Pacific. Attorney Martin, for the
railroad company, objected to what lie
called an inquisition and all the curious
commissioners and the public learned
was that for twenty years Huntington

than those of any of tils hired men. The

The surprise of the day came in the

The Raco Between Patchen and Gentry
Almost Ended in a Row.
- Philadelphia, Sept. 4.-The attraction
at Belmont race track today was the
special race for $4,000 between Joe Patch
en and John R. Gentry, and it was the
cause of mo.-e dissatisfaction than any
similar event in the history of the as
sociation. Had there been betting, it is
doubtful, if Curry, the driver of Patchen,
would have escaped mobbing. It was evi
dent that Patchen was not driven to win.
Joe Patchen won the third, fourth and
fifth heats; John R. Gentry won the first
and second heats: time, 2:06',; 2:37'.; 2:11;
2:13; 2:32. , .

San Francisco, Kept. 4. The trial that

verdict will be recorded very much soon

Today was given up to the proof of
death demanded by law, the evidence ot
the physicians who made the autopsy
on the corpse, and the explanation of the
model of the church, with plans, diagrams
and photographs. Much that was told

of men and women and those Whom tne
Inflexible rule of the court barred from

their ill fortune and stopped everybody
who came rom tho courtroom to gain

ing on. When the medical testimony
was at its most delicate point one wom

face, crowded past the people on her
row and left the courtroom. Other wom

The nature of the case compelled an
exhaustive cross examination on those
points and nothing was softened or

Although the measurements of the De
fender and Valkyrie will not be announc
ed officially until next Friday, and possi
bly not until Saturday, enough1 has been
learned to make a reasonably correct es
timate of the racing lengths and time
allowance given by tho challenger. The
big stoop contesting for the cup that the
American boat has held will give time,
although it will not be as great as was
expected. The racing lengtha as est!
mated1 by a well known designer and ex
pert are 101.38 for the Valkyrie and 100.02
for the Defender. Under the rules this
would mean an allowance of a lltt'e less

Yesterday afternoon a number of rep

rooms of the Library Association In re

Astorlan to consider a project for se

Memorial. After considerable discussion
It was decided to appoint a committee to
personally communicate with all who
might desire to become Interested In the
matter. The following ladles were chosen
to take temporary charge of thj work:
Mesdames W. W. Parker, Ferd Fluher,
f'raln. Danzlger, Duffy, Elmore, and
"Cherry. Another meeting has been called
'ir next Wednesday afternoon at I
o'o'c'ock, at the library, when a very
larT? Attendance Is expected, 1
YeBterday the county court transacted
muoh routine business and would have
adjourned had not advices been received
from a prominent Portland architect that
he would be here today to submit plans
for the new court house.
Tha principal event ot the session was
the Issuance of an order Instructing the
assessor to proceed at once to collect
the state poll tax ot $1.00 from each in
habitant of the county. The order reads
that if the tax Is not paid by the citizens
the names of delinquents are to be turn
ed over to the sheriff, who chall proceed
to enforce collections In the manner pro
vided by law. The court stated that i
man's personal property could be seized
or Jus wages garnishced for such tax, and
that It was the opinion of the court that
tr.ls tax ought to be collected as a mat
ter of Justice in order to provide a fund
for the prosecution of criminals. It was
stated that the county pays out a great
deal of money yearly for the prosecution
of criminals In behalf of people who are
not residents, or who at least are not
tax payers.
The court also stated that they were
disappointed In the action of the can
rerymen, who early in the season had
promised to assist in the collection of the
tcx, tout who have since refused to give
tne names or their employes. These men
ere all voted at the polls and tha court
is or the opinion that the tax should be
collected or else the question settled once
ror an.
In an Interview Assessor Gibbons said
that he would carry out the instructions
or the court, make demand for the tax,
ana turn over the names of the delin
quents to the sheriff.
Sheriff Hare says that he will carry
out the orders of the court so far as he
can, but does not propose to take any
chenees under his bond of getting Into
trouble.
Deputy Assessor Hardesty started out
yesterday afternoon under the new In
structions of the court to collect this
tax. In nearly everv case he met with
absolute refusal and the general Impres
sion seems to be that the tax cannot le
gally bo collected.
whole It might bo more to the city's ad
vantage to construct and operate it's own
bridge independent of the railroad. He
further stated that if the city accepter
tho offer he had made he was fearful It
would operate to delay tha commence
ment of work on the bridge as well as
prove an Interference with other plans
which he had in view.
HOP (PICKERS.
Large Numbers of People Going Into the
Fields.
Salem. Sept. 1, 1SK.
To the Editor of the Astorlan :-
Tho,8teets were alive all day yester
day with teams conveying hop-pickers
and their camping outfits to the many
fields In Marlon and Polk counties. It
is surprising to see what large numbers
of people are going out Into the hop
fields this year. The hop-pickers are not
of the laboring class only, but among
the vast armies may be found families
of comfortable incomes, and in gome
cases even of wealth.
A hop yard of ordinary size will give .
eftruployiment 'to Jone hundred persons,
while many yards will employ more. A
picker will usual-Iy be able to earn from
J1.00 to 31.60 per day and enjoy a pleasant
outing at tho same time, returning to the
city with renewed strength and health,
as well as with honestly earned money
that will serve to lighten the burden of
the hard times.
THE NEW ASSOCIATION.

effort will be made to form an organiza

best interests and tho protection of deal
ers and owners of property.
It is certainly a worthy object and one
that should (meet with hexrty supportj
A lltKe work by the real estate nKn,
who are always among a city's most en

interested In the growth and rapid ad
vancement of any community, will bring
good returns. There Is a wide field open
In Astoria, and without unity of action .
In the direction of tha city's growing
districts, the laying out and platting of

will be a 'lasting regret ever after.

THAT WAGON BRIDGE.
Mr. Hammond Says It Is Best That His
Proposition Be Not Accepted.
Mr. Hammond being sean yesterday by
an Astoria representative on the wagon
bridge proposition across Young's Bay.
stated that he was Indifferent whether
the proposition made by him- to the coun
cil was accepted or not. But that if
he consulted his own wishes and con
venience in the matter he wniv'd rather
It would be rejected. He said that he
made the nrooositlon onlv our of onm.
puance rwitn promises which had been
maae Dy the committee of representatives
who solicited subsidy grants on tha other
side and 'who (had promised soma of the
Troperty owners over there that Mr.
Hammond would offer the city some ar
rangement for a combined bridge.
He said that the nrooositlon whlfh h
had made hs regarded as a reasonable
one and the bent possible offer that h
could make at this time, but that on the
"It Is strange," said a leadlnsr citizen
yesterday, "why no Interest Is yet being
shown In the matter of prerjarlnjr an ex
hibit for the Portltind Exposition. Even
though no Immediate money returns are
reullzed from tho display, yet as a mere
matter of pride, and in order to show
outsiders what Clatsop county can pro
duce, a splendid exhibit of the lushing
Industry, farm products, and forestry
should be put together and sent up to
Portland.
Not alone should the cannorvmon"
maJke a showing of their Individual wares
to advertise their own business, but ex
hibits should be prepared on the broad
scale of showing the resources ot the
county as a whole and for the benefit
of the community In order that strangers
wno see may know what inducements
we have to offer settlors to come to this
county. Ocular demonstration Is more ef
fective than volumes of written descrip
tions, and just now when every effort
Is being made to advance the prosperity
of Astoria and Clatsop county, all ought
to lieartlly Join hands 1n so Important
a matter. The expense to each woul I be
trifling compared with the benefits to be
derived from such an exhibit." .
