council at an early date.
In commenting mi the matter of
country rouda yeaterday, a prominent
gro erymnii iJ: "The opening of the
Lenta and Clarke road Is most certain

I.rlnga into close relntlonahlp with the

Our county court la to be commended

If people only knew ami fully real
ised the value uf good ronds to a com
munity, there would be more nails to
day In rlutsop county, and they would
not only be barely pnaable, but would
be flrnt-cliias mat nditm. A few men In
the city, and more In tho country, are
working In the rlKht direction In re
gard to this matter. There are always
some klcckera w ho doubt the advisabil
ity of spending large sums on roads.
It has been a notable fact that In all
European countries, with probably the
exception of Kusnla. the road tax has
been the highest tax Imposed upon the
people. This shows what these coun
tries, with centuries of experience,
think of their highways. In Franc
and Kelglum orchards are planted by
the roadsides, which not alone furnish
shade, but a revenue besides. In the
last twenty-five years the roads of
these countries have teen brought to
such a. state of perfection that they
are not alone useful and permanent
macadam highways, but they are made
an ornamental part of the landscape
by lining each side with both shade
trees and fruit trees.
"These Mads are what constitute
the principal delight of American trav
elers In Kurope. We have her the do
main, the large rivers, the high moun
tains, the beautiful lands, and the
grandeur of scenery on a greater scale
than In Kurope, but our people cannot
enjoy these niagnllU'cnt gifts of na
ture because they are unupproachahle
for the lack of even bridle paths. In
Europe over every river and mountain
there are magulHcent driveways and
shaded bridle paths which afford
amusement and recreation to the com
mon people as well as a means of
support to the farmers. Visitors can
enjoy the wonderful beauties of the
landscapes and, while In the northern
part of Gerniuny, for Instance, the cel
ebrated Ilui mountains have no peak
as high as Saddle mountain, yet a
macadamised road winds to their sum
mit, and a railroad reaches almost to
the top of the highest one. These Ger
man mountains, because of their ac
cessibility, are better known In Clatsop
county than Is Saddle mountain. Ore
gonlans go abroad, and they go to Cali
fornia every year, In order to enjoy
nature where nature Is accessible. Peo
ple need recreation as well as work
and liusini'ss, and those countries and
sections' of country which provide the
means for the enjoyment of nature at
home do Just thnt much to elevate the
condition of the mnsses who cannot
afford to travel abroad, to say nothing
of the Increase made for the farmer
In his hard work by having the proper
facilities for reaching his nearest mar
kets. I say, let the good work go on."
ORKGON HOGS.
Increase In Smoked Meats Drawing
Much Attention.
Mr. Will Whelan, of Portland, rep
resenting , the Union Meat Company,
was In the city yesterday, and In con
versation with an Astorlan represen
tative, stated that the demand for Or
egon meats was increasing at a rapid
rate. I The Union Meat Company a few
yeai ago waa comparatively a small
Institution, and th- produM turned out
by It was of un Inferior guide us ti.ii,
. nnil with the leading Eastern brunda
of' ham and liueim, such as Armour,
Phillips, bwiri, Hammond and Sin
clair. Hog raising In Oregon had
scarcely been attempted, and such as
were produi' d were poor In quality and
aire. Today all this la chang'-d. For
lorn have learned that by proper at
tention and study, they can raise pork
eijuul to. and for the most part, of a
superior quality, with the eastern
product. The meat I wee and firm,
the peculiar quality resulting from
whent-fed animals brlnglpg a premium
on the eaaterln market In direct coin
petition with their own goods. The
I'nlon Meat Company produces goods
enough to supply the entire state of
Oregon, and ships about 50.000 pounds
on very steamer to Kan Francisco. The
agents of many eastern packing houses
have been withdrawn from this terri
tory, as Oregon Is beginning to support
herself.
An opportunity Is now presented for
Clatsop county to Increase Its output
of this class of good. The climate
here Is very well adapted for the rais
ing of hogs, and with the establish
ment of better and more frequent
means of Intercourse with the Orient,
he would have a ready market for all
th product raised.
CHANCE FOR THE FOOLKILLER.
Fake Bottled Letter Concerning the
Cadxow Forest.
Last evening George Green, a laborer
employed on the construction line of
the Astoria and Columbia River rail
road near Warrenton, brought to this
city the following, which he found In
a bottle floating In the river. The
letter Is given as written:
"The Cudxo Forest sunk Dec. 2! on
Pacific ocean. (Signed) Engineer."
Green says he saw the bottle floating
and fished It out of the water. Upon
breaking It he found the above message
which he brought to this city and
turned over -to Officer Plnnotti w ith the
request that he give It to the Astorlan.
The letter wa written on a piece of
common note paper, evidently torn
from a letter. On the top Is a part of
what was evidently a signature.
The paper Is water stained and con
siderably soiled, and has the apear
ance of having been In the water for
a long time. The writing, as may
well be judged from the spelling. Is
miserable, but It Is quite evident the
person who wrote It Is a good penman,
as his capital T and F would go to
show.
That the letter Is the work of some
practical Joker there Is not the slight
est doubt, as the Cadxow- Forest was
sighted off the mouth of the river In
January. The Joker will no doubt feel
gratified to think his letter has receiv
ed publication. To make It complete,
he should call at the Astorlan ofdc
and tell how he did It.

CORNELL WINS
THE GREAT RACE
Harvard Got Down In Defeat in the
four-mile Straightaway on
the Hudson,
IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY WON
Harvard Tried Mtr Old Tricks, bat Tbt; Did
Not Work-Colsmbi aid rensyl
vinia forgot Tnejr 'acre la
tke Race.
Poughkeepsle. X. Y., June 26. The
Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, and Penn
sylvania four mile straightaway on
the Hudson today was won by Cornell
In the phenomenal time of 19:29. Har
vard was second, Pennsylvania third,
and Columbia fourth. Cornell won the
freshman race two days ago In which
the order of finishing waa. strangely,
the same. The race was a hard one
for two miles but after that the Cornell
men bad It their own way. Harvard
tried their old scheme of tiring out
Cornell at the start, but it (ailed.
Cornell rowed a clean race, without
a break of any kind. - Pennsylvania
splashed and rowed badly, and Colum
bia, for some unknown reason, was not
In th race after the first quarter of
a mlie. Harvard rowed plucklly, but
was outclassed.
The conditions were favorable. The
water was smooth, the wind not dis
turbing, and being In favor of good
time. The four crews were lined up
lor position about 5:30 o'clock. All
struck water together, but Columbia
only got half a stroke. Cornell and
Harvard were both fully prepared and
got the advantage of a long sweep.
Harvard began Ut old tactlca of a quick
stroke to tire its opponents, and (or a
while it seemed to work well. All had
startid with 40 stroke, which Harvard
tempered down to 39 at the first quar
ter, w hile Cornell had come down to 3S.
Columbia aecmed to have a leaden
weight on its boat and It hung In the
water as If It was not Intending to
keep with the others.
Pennsylvania was rowing 39 to the
minute, but It was a ragged stroke that
pulled the boat far over and stopped it
Harvard and Cornell had settled down
to work in a methodical way, and, both
pulling a 3S stroke, were working with
a will. Harvard's boat poked Its nose
ahead of Cornell at the half mile and
the rooters yelled with approbation.
Then slowly, inch by Inch, the Har
vard boat crept by the Cornell boat
until her stern Just lapped the tatter's
nose. It waa noticeable that the Cor
nell men never changed their stroke,
but worked steadily at 38 and !7
strokes, with good back work and a
beautiful, clean blade action; and as
they neared the two mile mark this
work was noticeable In Its effect.
Harvard's men had put all their hard
work In their arms and legs and It was
beginning to tell, (or they could not
get the stern of their boat away from
Cornell's and gradually the Cornell
men, with their backs working from
the sliding seat to the back of their
necks and with a rythmetlcal motion
that was beautiful to see, began to
gain their long end. Harvard tried
desperately to hold the lead, but as
the two boats flashed by the two mile
mark Cornell had showed herself for
ward on even terms and was still go
ing. The No. 2 man in Harvard's boat
was splashing and then the stroke wa
vered a little, but with bull-dog grip
they stuck to their work. But that
steady 37 to the minute stroke swung
stronger, and the clean blade work was
telling. Inch by Inch the bow of the
Cornell boat went forward from the
bow of the Harvard boat, and they
were never headed.
Pennsylvania was splashing on at a
87 stroke gait, three lengths behind
Harvard, and Columbia was hopelessly
beaten.
VENEZUELA DISPUTE.
Events Promise of a Speedy Adjust
ment of Difficulties.
Washington, June 26. The latest
complication In the Venexuela question
has been settled through the friendly
intervention of the United States. Min
ister Andrade, of Venezuela, called at
the state department today and handed
to Secretary Olney a copy of a telegram
he had Just received from RoJos. the
Venezuelan minister of foreign affairs,
stating that Harrison, the crown sur
vcyor of British Guiana, who, with his
party, had been placed Under arrest by
the Venezuelan officers, had been
promptly released. The telegram to
Minister Andrade la as follows:
"It was yesterday when the national
commissary of CuyunI telegraphed the
occurrence. Harrison and nineteen
more crossed on the left bank of the
CuyunI to the open road. The sub
commissary at Acarabesl protested in
writing. Harrison Insisted and the sub
commissary took him to the post of
El Dorado. As soon as the govern
ment was Informed thereof. It ordered
the release of Harrison and asked for
details."
It Is undoubtedly true that the
prompt action of the Venezuelan gov
ernment was In a measure du to Sec
retary Olney'a Intercession through our
minlsti-r at Caracas, and It Is believed
that the main Issue between Great
Britain and Venezuela will be even
more easy of settlement now. Minis
ter Andrade says that the CuyunI river
has been the provisional boundary, and
ha nev?r before been crossed by the
British. All encroachments on Venez
uelan territory, and the light of Ven
ezuela to the territory on the left bank
of the CuyunI, have been respected by
the British.
FAILURES ARE FEWER,
General Trade Conditions Mixed, but !
Hopeful Feeling Prevails.
New York, June 26. Bradstreet'a to
morrow will say:
The more hopeful feeling In trade
circles within the past few days, ex
plained as due to the adoption of the
gold plank at St. Louis, had been given
unoui weight Interviews with mer
chants In staple lines at twenty-five of
the more Important distributing cen
ters show that aside from an Increas
ed strength of wool In the hands of In
terior holders (reflected at Boston and
Philadelphia,); an Improved demand
(or hardware at Providence; for cloth
ing and shoe at Baltimore; shoes and
drygoods at Memphis, and In similar
lines at St. Louis, there has been no
Improvement In trade. At Chicago
there Is a more hopeful sentiment but
no Increase In business.
A canvass of the leading Jobbers at
Important cities shows no expectation
of a revival In general until after the
election, and at some points no Im
provemert Is expected until next year.
The volume of general trade Is no larg
er than last week; In some lines it la
smaller, notably at Pittsburg and Kan
sas City. Midsummer dullness char
acterizes operations at almost all
points. Relatively, the greatest activ
ity has been among the Eastern dry
goods jobbers, who have sacrificed
prices to reduce heavy stocks of cotton
goods.
There were 21S business failure re
ported throughout the United States
this week, a striking decrease aa com
pared with a week ago, when the total
was 165. One year ' ago the week's
total was 215, three fewer than this
week, but two years ago, in the midst
of the extreme depression of 1S94, the
total number of (allures In the fourth
week of June was only 1S9.
There are 19 business (allures report
ed throughout the Dominion this week,
as compared with 35 last week and 28
In the corresponding week of 1S95 and
1894.
NOT SO BAD. AFTER ALL.
The Portland Fire Entailed a Loss of
about 1150,000.
Portland, June 26. The plant of the
Willamette Steam Mills and Manufac
turing Company, commonly known as
Weldler't Mill, waa totally destroyed by
Are this afternoon, together with
large quantity of luAiber. The total
loss Is estimated as $150,000; Insurance
$35,000. It Is thought that the engines
are not damaged beyond recovery.
The Are Is supposed to have been
caused by a hot box In the pony saw,
which was located almost In the cen
ter of the mill. The saw had been In
position for a long time, and the floor
all around It w as thoroughly saturated
with oil. The flames were first dis
covered about 3:30 and in a few mo
ments the entire mill was a burning
mass. The firemen confined their ef
forts at first to the large brick building
which contained the boilers and en
gines. The fire Is still burning and will
continue to burn for several days, ow
ing to the vast amount of accumulated
sawdust upon which the lumber yard
rests.
E. N. TerrilU saw filer at the mill,
was badly burned about the (ace and
hands, and the oiler was compelled to
Jump Into the river to escape being
burned to death.
FOOD FOR SILVERITES.
New York, June 26. R. G. Dun &
Company's Weekly Review o( Trade,
which publishes tomorrow, will say:
The monetary outlook Is not yet
clear. The strength shown in the re
cent conventions by the advocates o(
free silver coinage, and the expecta
tion that all elements favoring that
policy may yet be concentrated, incline
them to a waiting attitude. Their un
certainty retards Improvement, not
withstanding the widely prevalent (eel
Ing that the monetary action at the St
Louis convention will be sustained by
the people.

Star of tke Crime for Vhlcfc
He Vs lUsgcd.
Marshfleld, Or., June 2. Carl Al
brecht was hanged today at Empire
City to pay the penalty of killing his
wife. The hanging took place in the
courthouse yard and waa witnessed
by several hundred people. Everything
pased off without a hitch. Albrecht
was nervy to the last and failed to
show the first signs of feeling. He
spent his last momenta in his ceil with
Rev. Esbjorn, of the German Lutheran
church. In prayer and reading passage
from the Scripture. Rev. Esbjorn also
read to him the story of the penitent
thief on the cross and asked him if
he would make the word of that thief
his own. He replied, saying that ba
thought so.
Albrecht seemed to be more concern
ed whether he would meet his wife
again In heaven, and seemed desirous
of hastening the hour. At 9:30 the
hangman's jury and sheriff Gage en
tered the celL The death warrant waa
read to him. and he waa asked if he
had anything to say, to which be re
plied that be waa sorry he had com
mitted the crime and believed he fully
deserved bis fate. , While oa the scaf
fold Rev. Esbjorn read a prayer la
German, which Albrecht repeated after
him. Ten minutes later the black cap
had been put on and Sheriff Gag
sprung the trap door and the con
demned man fell eight feet breaking
his neck.
The crime for which Albrecht waa
hanged Was the killing of his wife In
cold blood on the street of Marsh
field. Albrecht bad been on a protract
ed spree and his inhuman treatment of
his wife became unbearable and she
left htm, instituting divorce proceed
ings. Albrecht had followed her
around, making all manner of threat
what he would do If she did not return,
and one day he met her on the street
and began to accost her again. Mrs.
Albrecht, fearing personal violence,
started to run, when Albrecht drew out
his revolver and fired five shots, the
first taking effect The last three were
fired as she was lying on the ground.
She died Instantly.
DID NOT CONSULT PEFFER.
And the Whiskered Senator from Kan
sas is Wrathy.
Washington, June 2S, Senator Peffer
leaves today for home. Before starting
he said, concerning the Populist atti
tude on the presidential quqstlon:
"The recent pronouncement of the
Populists at St Louis, urging the Dem
ocratic convention to nominate Teller,
was. In my judgment. Impertinence,
and it was treacherous so far as it at
tempted to speak for the Populist party
as a whole. These gentlemen spoke
without any authority from the Popu
list party as a whole, and I do not be
lieve the party will sustain them. They
had not conferred with the party, and
had been given no permission to apeak
(or It. Personally, I have high regard
(or Teller, but I have no Idea that the
old party spirit of the Democratic or
ganization will be so (ar relaxed aa to
bring about his nomination.
"In any event I do not think the ex
isting conditions warrant Populist en
dorsement o( the Demcoratic presiden
tial ticket, even though the nominee la
(or (ree silver and the platform con
tains a positive (ree sliver declaration.
I regard the Integrity and perpetuity
of the Populist party as essential to
carrying out the plan of reforms we
have espoused. The money question is
but one of these."
A FALSE HOPE.
Teller's Boom Is Almost Ready (or
Puncturing.
Denver, June 26. Friends of Senator
Teller in the West and South who have
been advocating his candidacy on the
silver ticket for president are feeling
very much encouraged by the recep
tion of the boom started at St Louis
immediately after the bolt of the west
ern delegates. It is announced that
Teller's name will positively be pre
sented to the Chicago convention and It .
is hoped the strength he will show oa
the Initial ballot will stampede the
convention to him.
