ElmOre SanbOrn & Co. Charter
the Harrison and Augusta.
AsToRlAs CITY FATHERS
Defeat the Application for Variety
Theatre License, and Trans
act Other Business.

Elmore, Sanborn G. Co. have charter
ed the steamers Augusta and Harrison
for term of years, and will hereafter
run them coastwise in connection with
the steamer Gilmore. Captain Schra-
der, OF the Harrison, will oe commodore
OF the fleet.
For several years the three vessels
have been hot competitors for southern
coast point business, and il all reports
come anywhere near being true, in
stead Of there being a dividend at the
end OF the year for the stockholders
OF the different vessels, there has been
constant demand for assessments to
meet the running expenses. Elmore,
Sanborn & Co., believing that a good
business could be worked up, and with
careful management and economy, a
fair profit made, negotiated for char
ter of the two above named steamers
which resulted successfully.
1t is now proposed by that firm to
establish a permanent line of steamers
to South Oregon ports, and ports north
as far as Quinalt river. There is
great deal of trade at these places
which naturally belongs to Astoria, but
now goes to Sound ports and San Fran
cisco. With line of steamers running
to these ports, with a terminal at AS
toria, local merchants are sure to reap
great benefit. The promoters antici-
pate the coming of a railroad, and think
that by the time line can be complet-
ed into Astoria. q tonnage can be built
up with these places that will even
surprise a railroad builder
Astoria is sure. some day, to become
great distributing point, and this last
move places Elmore, Sanborn & Co
on the ground floor in the transporta-
tion business. AS the city grows, new
industries will spring into existence,
such as Touring mills, wholesale gro
ceries, etc. The country tapped by the |
new line win certainly prove of great
value to Astoria's commercial interests
and there is no good reason why the
product of the Touring mill and the
stock of the wholesale grocer will not
end ready sale at points up and down
the coast reached by this new line.

ment she has already made TO the au-
thorities she will swear that Durrant
told her in the Jail that he had seen
Blanche Lamont in the grasp of two men
on the second landing OF the belfry OF
Emmanuel church on the afternoon OF
April 30. She is further expected TO state
that she asked him who the men were,
and that he answered that he did not
care at that time 10 say, though the
names were mentioned In statement OF
the case prepared by him, which was then
in his possession. The statements. Miss
Cunningham AYERS, were given under

Furthermore. according TO the story
this lady Is expected TO tell Durrant on
one occasion asked her II he had not bet
ter confess all and throw himself on the
mercy OF the court.
This story, like manN others. may fail
