FOR AN EXPOSITION
Mr.. Merrick of Portland is Here
for Exhibits.
SAYS THEY NEED CLATSoP
Enthusiasm Awakened and Many
Leading Businessmen and Can
ners will Respond.

Mr.. L. L. Merrick, special agent of the
Portland exposition, which is to open next
month"; is in the city making an effort
to raise a good exhibit from Ciatsop
county-one that will be a credit to the
county and the state.
To an Astorian representative Mr.. Mer-
rick said: 1.-THE Portland exposition this
year will be very successful affair and
will be the means of interesting thous-
ands of strangers In the resources and
products of Oregon and showing to the
world what we can produce on our own
soil and the riches of the earth within
our borders. Different committees are al
work in every section of the state and
will labor night and day to make such
a fair as has never before been geen
in the state. Expert mineral men are
now at work in the mountains gathering
samples of the rich deposits of ore which
are only just beginning to be mined, the
forests will be searched for rare wood,
and the farms will be called upon for
their products, the orchards for their
luscious fruits.
IT am here to see what can be OBJ
talned from this, one of the richest coun-
ties in the state. Now that your rail-
road Is assured and new era of prosper
ity will be added to the already rich
possessions of this favored city and
county, teeming with magnificent forests,
a sight of whose wonders would make
an Eastern lumberman wild with antici-
patton, filled with valuable Goals and min
erals, and possessing beyond all the
great fisheries which are better than q
gold mine, you certainly cannot afforc
to let this opportunity pass to exhibi
your wealth to the world.
~ have called upon Mr.. Elmore Mr.
J. %. Hanthorn, Mr.. Tallant, Mr.. Chut,
ter, Kerney Brothers and others, and
will remain here another day, going to
Ilwaco Thursday and returning the fol.
lowing day. Mr.. Elmore has agreed tc
send us up 20 cases OF salmon, full
rugged, fishing boat, twlne and webb!
Mr.. Hanthorn will also send 20 cases or
salmon; Mr.. Tallant will send salmon II
possible, but has promised a fine dis
play of salted salmon in cans and kits;
Kerney Brothers will send us samples or
wood and OF manufactured articles ir
their line. Others are encouraged to dc
what they can, and much enthusiasm
seems to have been awakened In the
right direction.
"What we want OF the people here l.
that they make a creditable county ex-
hibit and show up the fishing industry
and your large timber to the best pcs
sible advantage.
1--WE Will take care of the exhibits
sent to us and return them in good or
der, and will have a man on hand to
fully explain the process Of catching
and canning salmon. We want some
fruit also, as well as farm products-the
larger the display the better the results.
II will see Mr.. Welch, who has 80
kindly offered his services here and the
use OF his store before leaving"

MISSOURI NOT I'm IT.
Can't Grow Fruit with clatsop County.

A few days ago Mr.. Thomas Linville
received marked copy Of the Skldmore,
Mo-, Standard, sent to him by his
brother. w. r. Llnvi.ie, which described
some remarkably fine p.ums grown near
that place, seventeen OF which weighed
10 ounces, and which was thought to be
a most remarkable record.
Tom has several plums trees on his
residence property in this city and as
the fruit Is now ripe, several fine speci-
mems were yesterday left with the AS
torian. Six OF them weighed 271h ounces,
ard their average measurement WAS
Shx7fi inches. The weight and measure
ments were taken In the presence OF DR..
Fulton and Mr.. Rogers. on another
stem were thirteen beauties, all Of which
we're it to send to an exposition. These
plums are Of the variety known as the
Hungarian prune, are OF dark red-color
and have a magnificent flavor.
Mr.. Llnville says that the plums are
not as large this season as they have
been in times past, and that after Civ

THE DEPOT SITE.

Now that the real estate men have
Joined hands with the chamber of COM
merce In an effort to advance the inter-
ests of the city, the next important mat
ter that would seem to demand the atten-
ton of the people is the location Of the
depot.
1t is understood that several meetings
of water front property owners have
been held this week looking to some
action for the donation of a suitable
site, but nothing OF definite nature was
accomplished. With construction con-
tracts soon to be let there is little time
to waste in the settlement of so impor-
tant question.

for their own use Ill pounds were sold to
the grocerymen, and all this from one
tree
1t is conceded that oregon fruit leads
the world, but until recently Clatsop
county was not particularly noted for
its productions In that line. Probably
the fruit trees have taken on new
wrinkle, in view Of the growth in other
matters; at any rate no one will attempt
to stop them in their ambition.

EXCITEMENT IN LONDON.

London, Sept 1O.-The excitement In
London tonight over the international
yacht race off Sandy Hook is greater
even than that which prevailed on Sat
urday night. When it was announced
that the Valkyre had crossed the line

The fact that the race was sailed by the
Defender under protest afforded room for
some remark, but the general opinion
seemed to be that no injustice would be
done the British boat.

New York Sept. 1O.-The statement Is
made that Lord Dunraven has offered a
pension of 30 shilllngs weekly to every
member of the crew of the Valkyrie

precedent, either considered by itself or
from the standpoint of generosity. II

passed out of the possession Of England
nearly half a century ago. The ages

work in today's race.

TONIGHT.
Dion Bouciclcaut's Celebrated Drama
After DARK"

The justly celebrated play AFTER
Dark" by the great playwright Dion
Bouclcault Will be given tonight by the
Bacon company under Mr.. Cordray's
management with the same scenery and
costuming as was used in the presenta-
ton in Portland. This is the play that
ran for 100 consecutive nights in New
York city.
Owing to the unfinished condition of the
house, and the inability Of Manager
Beggs to get contracts completed in time
for the opening It has been decided to
still further reduce the price of admis-
sion for this engagement, thus placing 1t
within the reach of all to witness the
fine plays of the Bacon compay's roper
toire. Tonight the majority of the seats
will be sold at the low price of 25 and
50 cents, few only being held at 7b
cents. For comparatively small sum
good reserved seats can be had for fam
lies and parties and none need go away
because Of high prices.
The following Is the cast OF char
acters for tonight:
Old Tom, formerly known as Frank
Dalton ......,.,....G George P. Webster
Sir George Medhurst, under assumed
name ......,............,James McCurdy

But the Passengers Discovered That Fnct
In II Roundabout Way.
1t must be about ten years since was
returning to this country from New
York on board one of tho Anchor line
boats. We left quite early in the morn
ing. and were steaming down the bay
in high hopes of pleasant trip We
soon got into thick fog, and after
passing Sandy Hook at about quarter
speed tho ship ran aground. The ma
Jority of the passengers, however, knew
nothing Of our plight, for the propeller
kept OH churning up tho water in fran
tic efforts to get tho vessel off the mud,
and the fog was SO dense that very few
people noticed wo were not making
Roadway.
The captain dispatched his first officer
to Sandy Hook to telegraph tho position
of affairs to tho agents, but as the en-
gincs were still kept going no ono sus-
pected that anything unusual had oc-
Cured.
Presently the boat returned, but no
questions Wero asked, and no one SEEM
ed to have the idea that there was any
need to ask them.
Two or three hours passed. and an
ocean tug came alongside out of the fog
Newsboys came on board to sell their
papers, and did Il good business. "Ex-
trar Extrar!" was their cry, and these
"oxtrars" contained on the front page
q full and graphic account of the strand
ing Of the very liner on which they
were disposing of them
"Great Scott!' exclaimed one man
who had invested i'll paper, "don It
these papers know how to lie?. Here's
one saying now that our ship has run
aground"
$50 we are, and likely to remain, 4"
answered all officer, upon which the
passenger ran to the side of the vessel
and looked over in order to convince
himself.
The news now, of course, began to
spread all over the ship, but it was too
much for everybody when quarter of
an hour later stout old gentleman
sprang up from his seat and yelled,
Jerusalem we're aground" and then
ran full tilt along the deck in n fearful
state of terror. London Telegraph.
