Cap tain Buchanan, who has been on the up per river run, has been given temporary charge of the 'Phone. The Clerks' union has succeeded In pre vailing upon the leading business men of tht city to close their bouses hereafter at t p. m. The new rule went Into effect last night.

Astoria wsterfront mm srt expressling a good deal of snxlety sbout the coal ship which started up ths river a few days sgo. Thev say the Garnet Hill completely Hobeonlse the mouth of the Willamette river, and there appears to be no way to get the coal ship to Portland unlew she proceeds on up to Vancouver and crosses overland. The Columbia managed to get down and pass out yesterday, but this Is reoorted to ba In conseouence of ne heavy dew which was predicted for yes terdsy by tht weather ooserver. R, C. F. Astbury has returned from PortUnd. where ha took part In the In- temstlonal cricket match. He says the All-Oregon team played perfectly the first day. Mr. Astbury was made cap- 'n th second day, and did what he could to keep the score dose, but his men were more than ft match for the British Columbia players snd won easily. The entertainment of the visiting cricket ers wss never equalled In Oregon. They were treated like princes, nothing being left undone for their amusement The Oregon Emergency corps has been tendered an Invitation to send delegates to an sssembly of the Patriotic Women ot Oregon, to b held In Portland September 2, at which time a state Red Croat so ciety will be organised. The corps met vesterday and elected the following dele rates: Mra. C. A. Oearhart. Mrs. S. 1 Cleveland. Mrs. U Schlussel. snd Mr, il L Gillette: alternates, Mrs, C. W. Fulton. Mrs. O. Zlgler, Mrs. U H. Cowing, and Mrs. Doneka. S. R. Jackson has filed suit In tht clr cult court against H. V. Sherman for damages In the sum of CO. Plaintiff Is sn Indian. While In the city during re gatta week he was run down when riding a wheel by hack belonging to defend ant and svverly Injured, necessitating his removal to the hospital. H claims to have been Injured to tht extent of C.0UO, and asks T70 additional for damage to his wheel and attorney's fees. He is repre sented by Harrison Allen. It Is reported that the steamer Bailey Gatsert will be withdrawn from the As toria-Portland run. and that the Tele- phone will be again placed In commission. The latter steamer can be operated for U) a Jay less than the Gatsert, which wtu be ft big Item while the rate war Is on. Rumor has It that the steainbout com panies wUl slash rates to meet every re duction of the railroad company, snd that the round trip fare will be as low ss hi cents before tht war Is over. Tht county court was In session yester day, and its time was devoted to the con sideration of rosd matters. In the mat ter of the petition asking the county to vacate the road from the boat landing on the right bank of ths Lewis and Clarxe to lis Intersection with road No. 31, the court appointed the following viewers, who will report upon the advisability ot such ac tion: W. H. 'mith. D. J. IngHIs and D. F. Stafford. Tht Elk creek toll road mat ter occupied mot of (he court's time. The Hon. Sidney Dell, tht well known political ecommiist, was asked yesterday what he thought of the action of the mid dle-of-the-road populists In nominating ft ticket at Clndnatti. He saiJ: "I think the aotlon of that convention Is calculated to. Injure the causa of silver. Of course the mlddie-of-the-roaders are in favor ol greenbacks for currency, but they have affiliated with the silver men for some years past. From the dispatches In this morning's Astorian It appears the conven tion was one of self-constituted delegates, who were unable to agTee. This split will not help tht silver men." There is something radically wrong with the upper river, and It Is pretty gen erally sgreed that the bottom Is too near the top. This conclusion Is arrived at after a thorough study of the situation. The steamer Columbia started from Port land for Astoria Tuesday night, and did right well until she reached the mouth of the Willamette. At this point the Gar net Hill is piled up on the mud. The Col umbla draws much less water than the stranded Britisher, but she. too, ran aground and was delayed 3 hours. Fi nally, when the tide reichod the highest mark, the steamer managed to continue on her way. The O. R. It N. company will soon have to reduce the tonnage of its boats if It wants to do business In Portland. , According to the Or?3-nlan s conten tion it costs ships only about Hi cents a ton to bring grain cargoes from Portland to Astoria. There aro other reatjnally reliablo authorities who claim that the cost Is much nearer 73 cents than IS cents. The Garnet Hill has been pilnd up on a mud bank for tne pait two weeks at the mouth of the Wllllamette, with no Im mediate prospect ot ev?r again reaching deep water. Every day that she Is de layed means 1200 to her owners which, by the way, the farmers have to pay-so It Is plain to be seen that 15 cents a ton Is rather a low estimate for the 100 miles or transportation. Talk about maintaining an "open river to the sea!" Whv It will eventually cot the farmers flM.OOQ a year to do thb, and tli? srovernment us much more. Several forest flren have been raging near tho city for the past 48 hours. The most serious conflagration thus far re ported occurred at Grimes' Grove Tues day. The fire Btarted In the brunt) and spread rapidly. Tho cottage of Mr. Cole was destroyed, the Iohs being $3W. For a time It seemed the entire grovo would be swept, but the peojde reidlng near there nucceled, after hard work, In ex tinguishing the blaze. A fire started on the hill tiiick of East Actorla ud threat ened the destruction of considerable prop erty, but It was controlled before tiny setl ous damage was done. Reports from the upper river are to the effect that many forest fires are raging. Patrick Lawler was arrested yesterday on a charge of operating a delivery wagon without a license. This Is the second time he has been arrested for this offense. The first time he appeared 1jy his attorney and fought the case. Judge Nelson's de cision was against the defendant, who paid bis license. Yesterday Mr. Lawler appeared personally and entered a plea or guilty. Judge Nelson fined him $3, the amount of the quarterly license, which he agreed t remit If tne defendant would pay hat license. If this Is not done Mr. Lawler will so to Jail for two days, and will then be llMe to rearrest for the same offense. If he pays ths U ht will be allowed to run his wagon for three month. Tht dntendsnt holds that he uses the wagon only to deliver gwda to hit customers, and that It la not the purport of tht law to levy on hurt; that the license Is Intended only for the owners of wagons which make charge for delivering. The court holds that Mr. Lawless wagon Is sublet t to the law, and the court has more to say about It than Mr, Lawler, al though the latter has said great deal. The law Is really unjust, ss merchants derive no benefit from their delivery wagons, except, of course. In atvomadat Ing customer. Mr, lAwler will no doubt pay the license. He does not begrudge the municipality the V, but ht thinks ht Is getting the short end of matters from the law. The wholesale moving or bu Idtngs on v'omntervlal street promises to precipitate ft .lively fight In the courts between the officials of the Astoria Street Railway Company and Contractor Lebeck. Re cently, when tht O'Brien building w moved, on upper Commercial street, the railwsy company charged Mrs. O'Brien 111 per day for blinking the tracks and made her pay for the disconnection of the wire. When Contractor Lebeck se cured the contract for moving the Hover building he agreed to pay the company U ror tne Inconvenience to traffic. Now he has the contract for removing ths build- ti occupied by Wing Lee, and the com pany asked him for T This he refuses to par. although he says he was willing to pay reasonable amount. The Wing Lee building can be moved without the disconnection of tht trolley wire, but Mr. Lbck proposes to block tht entire street and stop traffic untH the work Is finished. He holds permit from tht city council to block the street for ft period of thirty days, and claims this Is sufficient to Justi ry the course he has decided to tske. It the car company takes the martter Into the courts Mr. Lebeck will fight tht case, and he Is confident of a favorable decision. He will not mv the company anything for blocking traffic while the Wing Lee build ing Is being removed. There seems to be some doubt ss to whether or not the car company can vkll t. other than tor the work of disconnecting and connecting the trolley wire. SAN FRANCISCO OARSMEN PRAtSE ASTORIA REGATTA Pass Resolutions of Thanks for the Royal Entertainment Accorded Thess Wtilt) They Were In This City.
