Disastrous to the Traps.

This has been a hard season on the
fishing traps in Bakers bay and else
where on the lower river, but espe-
cially in the first named locality, they
being swept out to sea with disastrous
frequency. Half dozen more went
last week, and over fifty have gone
since the first of May.
One owner who lost two last Friday.
was interviewed yesterday and he
gave it as his opinion that their de-
struction is caused by the unusual
saltness of the water, the absence oi
the currents of former years and the
high winds.
He says that green fungus or Shiny
marine growth forms around the
meshes of the nets and grows thicker
and thicker. Then comes a high wind
and the almost solid mass formiEr
considerable resistance, something has
to give way, and up come the piles
and over goes the whole business bot
tom up. Then a high wind comes
sweeping westward. and away goes
the trap to sea.
Many trap owners are SO discOur-
aged that they have given up any
effort to do anything further this
year

Invite Them Here.

A party of men will get to Portland
tomorrow whom we would be glad
to have visit Astoria.
There is Mckinley, of Ohio, the
man who, had he seen fit to go back
on Sherman in the last national Re
publican convention, would now be
president of the United States. There
is Rep. Burroughs, of Michigan, an
other brainy man, who has consider
able influence in congress. Ther
there are other dignitaries and CAPT
talists from the east, whose acquaint
ance is worth having.
We suggest that they be invited
here, and shown what is being done
to improve the mouth of the Colum-
hia river, and the need Of such i'm
provement.
We had some senators here recently
who told us that in the senate they
would talk for adequate apprOpria-
tions: several of those who arrive IL
Portland tomorrow are in the house
of representatives. Oregon has only
one-there are 324 others-it is bus

The New Survey Authorized.

Major TIL. Handbury, United States
engineer, yesterday received a dis
patch from the chief of engineers au-
thorizing him to make a survey of the
mouth of the Columbia. A survey
was made four years since, and'as the
ietty has been extended a long way
since that time, it is now desirable
that new survey should be made to
find out what has been ACCOMPLISHED
by the improvements.
The survey will extend from Tansy
Point out to the curve OF twenty-four
feet depth of water, and will give an
idea of what changes have been made
in the channel by the extension of the
jetty.
The work will be begun about the
LIST of August. 1t will be done by
Mr.. Lyell and party, from Captain
Youngs Office, who is now making a
survey of the mouth of the Siusiaw.
The party complete, with the steamer
Wright, will be transferred by Cap
tain Young to Major Handbury.-Or-

A NEW HOSPITAL TO BE BUILT.

Mother Godfrey, superior general
from Monteal, Canada, who Is making
tour of the Pacific states and terri
tories, visiting all the hospitals under
her jurisdiction on this coast, Is at
present stopping in Astoria for few
DAYS. She expresses herself much
pleased with Astoria and predicts a
bright future for our city by the sea.
She is also much pleased with the
work st. Mary's hospital is doing and
sees the need of more room and ac-
commodations. This she informs us
will be attended to as soon as the nee
essary arrangements can be made. The
location for the new hospital has been
selected and is now being graded.
When the grading is completed no
finer location for a hospital can be
found on this or any other coast. 1t
is high, dry and slightly, not too far
from business centers to be inconVen-
lent, but far enough to be quiet and
pleasant.
Just when they will begin the con-
struction of the building can not be
ascertained at present, but We have
the assurance that it will he soon. The
kind of building they intend putting
up will be a credit 10 any town and
will be supplied with all modern i'm
provements aud accommodations and
will lack nothing that goes to make a
perfect hospital. The building will
cost between fifty and seventy-five
Thousand dollars, will be heated with
steam and supplied with elevator,
reading room, smoking room, etc.

Custom House and Court House.

The custom house is not in very
good condition at present, the roof
leaks and the whole building needs
alterations. The structure looks
squat, and should have another story
on it.
About the best thing, under the cir
cumstance, would be to have the
building condemned and a new custom
house built; the present building
might be sold to advantage to the
county; it would make a good court
house with some alterations and i'm
provements, and is in Il central posi-
ton.
Uncle Sam could with great propri-
ETY. give Astoria new custom house,
eigibly situated. We will have to
have one pretty soon, and in the
meantime the present building is
badly In need of repair.

Sandy Olds, the convicted murderer
of Emil Webber, tells an OregontGn
reporter that the encounter was
simply a question of who could draw
his gun the quickest: that they were
both heeled, and that his (Olds) pistol
being the smallest he got it out first,
and that had Webber been able to get
the drop on him, the trial would have
been for Webber's killing him instead
of he killing Webber. Like enough
there's a good deal iii the draw.
