J. Carney was appolnte.1 a committee, of one to draft resolutions of thanks to all those who had so faithfully aided In mnklng a success of the llremen's convention, tournament and Pannuet. Stcretary Carney's report, which was filed yes terday, Is ns follows: "Whereas, at the annual convention and tournament of the Oregon State Volunteer Firemen's Assix-latlon, held In Astoria August il. and during regatta wk, the home department was was ahly assisted In Its efforts to 'entertain the visiting member by the cltlxens generally, by certain mer chants, and by the ladles; therefore, be It "ltcsolved, That the heartfelt thanks and appreciation of the Astoria Vol unteer Flrv Department bo expressed by Its board of foremen to all those cltlxen who so liberally subscribed funds towards the neccssnry expense and by their attendance aided In ex tending the hospitalities of the city to the visitors; to the mayor, tor his lively Interest In affairs, and his kindly wel come to the stranger In our pate; to Messrs.

Resolved, Further, that these resolu tion be spread upon the records and given to the public press for publica tion. IF FREE SILVER WINS. Humble Clttien Now that Bryan 1 elected, I thought I'd come around to the mint and get a little "free silver." Uncle Snm My dear boy, you've made a big mistake. "Free silver" meant that the United States must stamp 53 cent worth of silver "one dol lar" free for the silver owners. It meant a free gift to them of 47 cents on every 53 cents worth coined. Humble Cttlsen Hut where do I come In? Umie Snm Why, If the silver owner owes you a dollar for work or goods he will pny you with 63 cents' worth of silver, Instead of with a 100-cent dollar, and you have made him a free gift of 47 cents worth of work. You don't come In; you are left out NOTICE TO SHIPPERS. Shippers are hereby notified that lo cal freight to points on the Seashore rood will be received at the Telephone dock only. All freight must be deliv ered one hour before train time. No freight will be received after 4:30 p. m. C. F. LESTER, Supt FOREST FIRES ATOAK POINT I'lu mcs Startdl a Month tn Still IJirrnlnij U'lth Inm-a-cl ' run. a ;hi:at loss or pkopi kty Many People llarsly Km ape with Their I.lvea-Kolld Wall of Fire Three Miles Long Cattle Die From H at. A special to the Aatorlan thl after noon from iak Point, a lumbering sta tion half way between this nation and Kalamu, suya: "inie of the most terrific forest fires ever Seen In Mil" section Is now racing at (Vi nson's camp and In thnt n'.'lh liorhi'od. A wull of Ilnme three tulles long, and leaping to the tops of the highest trees, renders It Impossible to get direct communication from here to the s cue of the trouble. A month ago I a heavy fire broke out In the same dis trict, which, notwithstanding the re cent ruins, smouldered on and broke out afresh the other day. It Is feared that many lives have been lost, and that llenson's entire logging camp has been destroyed, which will mean to him total ruin. Those who are at the camp and beyond the line of fire can only II nd safety, providing they have not already succumbed, by making a ! new trail to the Columbia river and taking to boats. It is so hot that even cuttle dropped dead some distance from ' the line of fire from the effects of the ' Intense heat. All of the buildings at I the various logging camps have been destroyed and even sot.ie. In the village, ''ampers have made strenuous efforts to get their thl uk out of the cabins, ami some effect liave been removed .from a few buildings; but there Is lit tle prospect of saving anything, as they 'cannot get out this way at all. The I ordinary trails are so covered by smoke 'and cinders, and the heat Is so great ! that no one can pass along them. One I man who watched the Are from a dls- tame, says that he saw Immense preen trees licked up by the flames as If they had been dry saplings. "This Is the worst blow this com munity has ever received, and it Is doubtful whether the, principal loggers I will be able to recover from their j losses. When and w here the tire will I stop it is hard to conjecture, as at ! the pn aent writing It Is still burning j furiously." 11 p. m. Benson's Logging Company Is one of the lunrest Institutions of I the kind on the Columbia river. It jowns acres of property, two loeomo I lives, three donkey engines, and a well enulppeil tramway with every modern advice for handling the business. Slx- ty-flve men are ijuiployed In the camp. Tonight further advices show that the fire now covers ten square miles of valuable timber. Each square mile Is estimated to contain between twenty and thirty million feet of timber, and It Is thought that the loss already in curred on the stumpage alone is more than forty thousand dollars. The sight of the burning timber is a grand one, beyond description. The noise of the tlames, the popping of the timbers as they succumb to the heat, the terrific looking clouds of fire and smoke, and the showers of cinders falling In all directions, make a truly aw e-lnsplrlng scene. THOSE RAILS. Trouble has arisen over the discharg ing of the cargo of rails from the Brit ish ship Chelmsford now lying at Fla vel, and the town of Astoria is agi tated. It appears that Manager Koehler, of the Southern Fidflc, ordered the sus pension of the delivery of the cargo, and now the Astorlans are wondering If the Southern Pacific Is to be their railroad master. If not, what option did Mr. Koehler have In Interfering with the Chelmsford's cargo? An answer was made that Mr. Ham mond had not as yet paid the duty of 130.000 due on the rails, but Instead intended piling the Iron In a bonded yard. This, however, la contradicted by the showing of the Astoria custom house that Hammond had paid to the government the duty charged. It now appears that Mr. Koehler had considerable more use for the rails along the line of his rotad than was to be found In the building of the Astoiia Cioble line, and therefore he ordered the rails sent south. There seems a queer proposition yet unsolved with Astoria's railroad con nection. The above, taken from the Portland Evening Telegram, Is In most respects a gross misrepresentation of facts. Up on Investigation of the matter yester day an Astorlan representative learned that the stoppage of work was made upon direct orders of United States cus toms officers, and that the discharging of the steel rulls commenced again yesterday upon orders from that de partment. Two hundred tons were yes terday taken from the Chelmsford. One never knows the real Joy of life until they find a five dollar bill In the pocket of a last year's gown. NOW THE TIME TO PREPARE for the Dtu'liifjinent f Auxiliary In dustries In Astoriu and Clat sop County. spkim; will he too lati: I'nlon of Action by All Interests Can not Fall to Have Plenty of Capital Here by the Time the Rail road Js Completed. In an Interview yesterday afternoon with a prominent real estate dealer and property ow ner upon the subject of As toria's railroad and her future pros , perts. that gentleman said: I "In my opinion, now Is the time for Astorlana to prepare for the future, j We hove the Iron borse arriving- and departing, construction work at War renton and Flavel Is steadily progress I lug. and great changes have been j made In those localities, where will be the shops and terminal ground of the company; the foundation piling for the ; Scow Ray depot has now nearly all been put In place. Corey Brother' grading on the first ten mile Is rapid ly nearlng completion, and more than 'J men are at work on the grade in the neighborhood or Rainier under Con tractor Honeyman, DeHart & Co. Be fore we realise it the road will have i been completed and trains will be run ' nlng between here and Portland. What I are we doing In the meantime? I "As one of the property owners who ; have largely contributed of their ! means to the bringing about of this ' most satisfactory state of affairs, and while we all are pinched by the exces ! she hard times now prevailing, and J which have prevailed during the past ' three years. I am firmly convinced that we cannot afford to sit Idly by and do nothing until after the railroad will : have been ciaiipleted. Only the first steps have been taken towards secur ing the fulfillment and rounding out of our highest hopes. In order to build up a prosperous community and a commercial center whose power shall be felt the world over, we must have something more than a railroad, or a dozen railroads. There must be facto ries to produce traffic for the railroads and ships to haul to the markets of the world, and pay rolls for the em ployment of thousands of workmen. There must be also, adequate accom modation for the handling of the great wheat tonnage of Oregon and Wash ington, there must be dry docks to ac commodate the merchant marine, there must be flour mills to make food products for the Orient, and there must be sawmills to develop the ' rich re sources of our timber preserves. "Now, while we have almost exceed ed the limit of our ability, yet by un ion of action for a common purpose, we can Join hands with those who have already made It possible for the prog ress already attained, and secure East ern men of brains and Eastern capital to Join us In starting all of these In dustries. I know personally that Mr. Hammond and his associates stand ready to take up every possible line of work and that they will put up three dollars to our one. If we have not money, we can give our work, pledge our securities to aid In these various enterprises, the establishment of which any child knows will In five years' time quadruple the value of every foot of property In and about the city, as well as every business now established How much better it Is to add value to one quarter of our possessions, than It Is to drift along for the quarter of a century to come as we have for the quarter of a century past, without mak ing any great Improvements or being able to increase our population or sell our property. We should organise on a Wflnite baals. I4A people know what we are going to do. Make our efforts auxiliary to those of the railroad company, and commence at once. By making a beginning nowon broad lines when summer comes in 1S97 and the first train rolls Into Astoria from Port land, the world will have become thor oughly acquainted with what and who and where we are, and such a start will have been made In all directions that a large traffic will be ready for the railroad and the ships from every port w hich will meet the steel rails In this city. United we can do all this; divided, It will take centuries to ac complish our object." THE RED MEN. The excursion of Red Men to Seaside Sunday promises to be one of the events of the season. Every man In town, and all of his cousins, uncles and aunts, are preparing to enjoy the day at the beach. A short convention of the order, and speeches, by a number of prominent people, among them Judge A. A. Cleveland, music, dancing and surf bathing, are the. attractions of fered. The railroad company will be taxed to Its utmost to accommodate the crowds. When the Red Men undertake an ex cursion, a picnic or clam bake, one may be sure of a good time. Tomorrow's outing will be no exception to the rule. Meany la the leading tailor, and pays the highest cash price for fur skins. RE0U1RED BUT FOUR ROUNDS Por Chotn--lii to Convince McAuliffc That He Is the liettcr ! .Man. r..'Si:ION i.IANT XO'i IX IT McAullffe V. elghed 5a Pounds More , than His Antagonist, but the Lat- j ter Bested Him Easily Many Spectators. I Han Francisco, August 21 Big Joe McAullffe was knocked out In the fourth round tonight by Joe Choynskl j before the Occidental Club. Three fight were billed, but the one between the' big men was the attraction that drew , 5000 enthusiastic sports to the pavilion I at Woodward's Oaplens. j Thl event was an eight-round "go"j between Joe Choynskl and Joe McAu Ilffe. "the Mission giant." McAullffe has been on the retired list for two or three years. He began training for the present contest weighing 285 pound and entered the ring tonight at about 225 to 230 pounds The men presented a great contrast, as they shook hands for the first round. McAullffe towered nearly four inches above his antagonist. with an advantage of three inches in reach. His appearance Indicated that he had reduced his weight at the ex pence of his strengtn and endurance. Choynskl, on the contrary, looked the picture of health. He entered the ring at about 170 pound. Choynskl assumed the aggressive from the start, and hit McAullffe when and where he pleased. The Mission giant was completely outmatched and was a plaything in Choynskl's hands. Little Joe played on big Joe's wind with his left and on the Jaw with his right and when the giant came up for tbe fourth round he was perceptibly winded. In this round Choynskl went at his man like a demon. First a poke In the' stomach with his lft and a Jab in the face with his right, soon made Mc Aullffe groggy. Finally. In the middle of the round. Choynskl swung his right with terrific force. It landed on Mc Aullffe's Jaw and the fight was over. The giant's legs weakened and he fell to the floor with a crash. He could not get up within the required ten seconds and the fight was awarded to Choynskl. The latter was unpunished and was In good condition when the fight ended. His clumsy antagonist managed to land on Choynskl's face once or twice, and sent his head back, but that did not keep the smaller man from going at him relentlessly. POPS TO NOTIFY. Washington, August 2S. As a result of the determination among the Pop ulist leaders to notify Bryan and Wat son of their nomination by the Populist convention, a formal letter of notifica tion Is now being prepared. The noti fications will probably occur at Lin coln and Atlanta, but the details are subject to the wishes of the committee on notification, of which Senator Allen is chairman. He has been in communi cation with Senator Butler on the ques tion, and there will be a full under standing between them as to what will be 'done. The letter now In course of prepara tion will be submitted to the notifica tion committee for their approval. If they desire to meet and proceed In a body to see Messrs. Bryan and Wat son, then such, a course will be adopt ed, and a time set for the visits. It is felt, however, that It Is unnecessary, and may be Inconvenient to the com mitteemen to make a trip across the country. In which case the notification will be made by sending the letter to Bry an and Watson. LARGE CAN FACTORY. Vancouver, B. C. August 28. Henry Shackle and F. Scheagre, representing the Automatic Canning Company, of San Francisco and Astoria, are here.

SOWING FAST Clearing House Certificates Have Not Been Issued by New York Banks Manufactories Closing: Till After Election. New York, August 28. R. O. Dun Company's Weekly Review of Trade says: Clearing house certificates have not been Issued, but instead gold Is coming; hither largely, on the swiftest steamers, about 110,000,000 being already oa the way. Higher lending rates bring It, notwithstanding foreign events which disturb the London markets, and grow ing confidence In the monetary feature of the country helps. The liabilities and failures for the three weeks ending: August 20, were !20.23,2S5,' against J6.519.3C6 last year and (4.214.470 in ISM. The stoppage of works also continues. Including among other concerns the Illinois Steel plant at Hammond, Ind., and the Lakeside Nail Works there. A disruption of the tin plate association results from the Inability of manufacturing concerns to go on paying wages demanded and will presumably be followed by some other Iron works which are getting a very light business, many contracts haying been deferred until "after election," and there Is so little doing that quo tations are almost nominal. The failures for the week have been 2S8 In the United States against 18 last vpar And 33 In Canada, ajfainst il last year. THE BANK ROBBERS. Becker and Creegan Sentenced to Life Imprisonment San Francisco, August 28. Cart Beck er and James Creegan, the Nevada , Bank forgers, were today sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Wallase. Becker, Creegan and A. H. Dean con cocted a scheme to rob the Nevada Bank. They raised a draft drawn V through the Bank of Woodland from $12 to J22.000. Dean cashed the check at the Nevada Bank, where he had a " deposit claiming to be a broker. The men got away with the money, but Dean was traced to the East and cap tured. The three forgers had agreed to help each other out If one were captured, but BecRet and Creegan re fused to aid Dean and left, him to his fate. In revenge Dean disclosed the conspiracy to the police and gave them the Information that resulted la the ar rest of Becker and Creegan. Joseph McCloskey was tried for complicity In the crime, but was acquitted. Dean has not yet been tried, but will prob ably be leniently treated. McKINLEY DELUGED. Canton, Ohio, August 28.
