The committee that has been sent ou
for the past two days calling on tn
merchants for subscriptions for the re
gatta, have met with success whereve
they have gone-wlth one or two eA
| ceptdons of no consequence.
The citizens are taking hold Of th'
matter with hearty good will, ant
propose to assist the athletic boys tC
make the regatta one of the very larg.
est events that this neck of the woods
has ever had anything to do with. They
are not only coming to the front with
their financial assistance, but are writ
ing to their friends in Oregon and
Washington, telling them to pack their
trunks and move to Astoria IN time for
the three days sport.
The club members have not been idle,
however, for they have opened up cor
respondence with several boating clubs
at Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, and other
Sound cities, several Of which have re-
sponded favorably. They have made no
yet regarding the prizes
or purse, that matter coming before the
at an early date. 1t is
thought that a magnificent cup suit
ably engraved. will be the prize to be
raced for by the larger boats. Word
was sent over to this city yesterday by
Capt. Harris, that If the club would put
Up two or three free-for-al races, and
not hold them down to New York
yachting rules, that they would simply
move Ilwaco over here for day or two
and walk away with the rrize The
captain said the race must be open to
III corners, carrying as much sail as
hey wish, except that the boats are
& be measured Any one who knows
he genial Captain Harris. has but lit
lie doubt that if he manages the Wash
ngton crews there will be a hard race
or the home boats. Up the river at
III the canneries, the boatmen are iak-
ng lively interest in the proposed re-
alta, and are anxious to fall in line
nd try for one of the prizes. From
resent indications the affair viii be a
rccess. over $500 has been raised up
o date, and It Is proposed to double
hat amount before another week has
nded.

CORRESPONDENCE.

i 1t certainly would be a great bool
to the citizens of Astoria il they might
could, would or should, by hook or b.
crook, by chance or by plan, be one O.
two more streets running from E tc
w be opened. There are at the pres.
ent time only two passable streets ex
tending from the eastern part of Nc
Cures and Olney's Astoria to the west
ern. Now in a city which claims tc
have 10000 inhabitants that surely is
absurd. 1t would certainly be great
| gain il both d and e streets could bt
improved. There are several places
where with a horse and buggy it Is
necessary to travel three blocks to ad-
vance one. f. street is quite good, but
In driving from Uniontown, C street, to
the roadway, 1t is rather annoying to
have to drive up the hill to f, then
down to its lowest grade, then up again.
and finally down to the level streets
again to go few blocks. 1t is equally
annoying to drive down c street There
right and on the left That is a busl-
ness street, and should be so left, and
not converted into a street for riding,
driving or bicycles. We do wish some,
body, who has authority, would say
whether 1t can or cannot be done. If
not, we would like to know why, not
an 'oh, because" and we will try to
make the best Of it, If it can, we do
sincerely wish that it might be done
Immediately.
We think 1t would be we'll now If the
citizens of Astoria would discontinue
"fussing' in all of it's different forms.
about the railroad and give their minds
and money to the Improvement of our
city.
Let us not continue to be anxious as
q city, to go to the Willamette Valley
TO Eastern Oregon. or to the East. Let
us so build up our own little city that
the various places just named or their
inhabitants, will be anxious to come to
us-to Astoria.
Don't you, anybody and everybody
interested. think 1t would be a good plan
to have an Improvement plan" of
some kind or other, run by an "im,
provement company or committee?'
They have worked wonders in some
rities. We know not why 1t should not
De success here-surely it could not
fail for lack of room for Improvement.
Please, Mr., Somebody, the road super
'isor If he is the man, helped by the
souncilmen, If necessary. won't YOU
AXE the matter in hand?
The Astorlan has many times lately
allied attention to streets that should
'e CLOSED" for safety to life and limb
We think 1t is about time to do theI
'ther thing, open" them.
We do hope that all this fine weather
will not be allowed to pass unused.

ed In the south channel yesterday, mid

eyes of some of our economical tax
payers. The law states that only four
witnesses can be called for each side
unless permission be obtained from the
county judge for more. When Judge
Gray's attention was called to the con-
stables bill of over $40 In the Peterson

fed, he called a halt and gave notce
that hereafter he would have to be con-

There was an interesting sight off the
waterfront yesterday afternoon, in
which two unknown fishermen were the
central figures. The tide was just turn
Ing and coming in with a. heavy cur
rent caused by stiff norwester that
was blowing at the time. Just off the
British ship Crofton Hall, the water was
very choppy, indicating that in was a
shoal place. The fishermen in question.
either through ignorance of careless
ness. steered directly over the spot.
and as a consequence went hard
aground. No sooner had they struck
than the seas began to go over them.
and 1t was not until they had lowered
the sail and had done some vigorous
pulling that they got back to the chan.
mel. AS 1t was, they were nearly
swamped, and the boat had to be baled
before the sail could be run up again.
