FINAL TEST
OF the New Torpedo Boat Ericsson on

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-The navy
department will await with consid-
erable interest and with some anxi-
ety the trial of the torpedo boat Eric
sson, which viii he officially tested
for the third time within the next
few weeks. So far the trials OF the
new boat have been attended with
considerable i'll luck, but it is the gen
eral opinion among naval experts
that the approaching trial on Long
Island Sound will fully develop the
vessels good qualities. On the first
trial trip last fall piston rod was
pulled out aud n cylinder rod
smashed. on the second trial trip
last summer similar accident oc-
Cured, resulting in the death OF
three men, and it was then concluded
that the cylinder head was too light.
New engines and machinery from the
Iowa Iron Works. nnhuque, H., the
constructors OF the boat, have now
been installed and preparations for
the trial are nearing completion.

The finSt man to make a legal filing OF
reservation lands ait this office yesterday,
was Stephen Hastsar He presented pow
ers of attorney from three old soldiers,
Captain Tamblin, Colonel Hammell, and
w. c. Human. These are the promoters
of the townsite of Nez Pences. Jacob
Pipplnger, of Leland, was the winner in
am exciting race with a valuable farm
for the stake. He worked upon the land
one minute after IL o'clock. He had re-
lays of saddle horses ani rode more than
40 miles over a rugged mountain trail in
two hours aad twenty minutes. He pass
ed envfous neighfbors and excited stran-
gers In HIS mad ride and flied without

A party who staked off mineral Claims
ON Clearwater tried to rcach Lewiston

the men were compelled to wade out

MONDAY MORNING THE DATE SET
Cedar Piles, Tools, etc., Will Arrive
Then-2O Dump Cars Ordered
by Contractor Cory.

1T is hardly possible to keep pace with
the progress of affairs on the railroad.
One change and Improvement, or addition,
follows another In quick succession, and
before Astorians realize 1t, the railroad
will he half built.
Yesterday Contractor Jacobsen, of Port
land, who Is to drive the piles and do
the dredging for foundations for the
draw OF the Young's Bay bridge, arrived
in Astoria to make the preliminary ar
rangements for his work. The first barge
load of cedar piles is at Goble all ready
to move down the river on Saturday, ais
will also the two pile drivers and ne
cessary tools. The dredger win be sent
down later when needed. Mr.. Jacobsen
returned to Portland last night to give
final orders at that end and will arrive
here again on Monday morning. when
active work on the bridge will be COM
menced large force of men-all who
cam be worked to advantage, will be en-
ployed and construction pushed to a
finish.
Contractor Cory yesterday dispatched
The steamer o. X. with lot of supplies
and 20 more men for the camps above
Tongue Point. More men will be needed
in the near future and as rapidly as those
are released from the water works and
street contracts they Will be added to the
railroad force In fact, Mr.. Cory stated
yesterday to an Historian representative
that ne expected to be able to take care
OF all those who are here land who want
work as well as euch as might come
from abroad. If they did not come in
droves. Astorians have the preference,
but of Astorias proper there are few who
are not engaged in steady work and be-
fore the railroad work is completed no
doubt many hundreds of men win have to
be Brought from elsewhere.
Mr.. Cory Is also arranging for the inn
mediate construction OF twenty dump
cars to be used on the tranlway in the
grade work.
Those who do not believe that improve
ments are in progress In and around AS |
toria need only talSe boat and go UP
and down the water front FOR ten miles, !
and a drive through the city, to be con-
vinced.

THE POET SCOUT
Captain Jack Crawford With
an Astoria Audience.
A Curious but Charming Entertain
ment Given by Veteran Indian
Fighter and Public Character.

A curious figure stepped out on to the
stage of Fishers Opera House on Mon
day night, An abundant mass of flowing
hair, half hidden under q slouch felt hat,
blue homespun shirt, buckslSin pants, and
tight-itting leggings-the latter adorned
with the stars and stripes worked In
silk cofors, q long, loose coat trimmed
with brown fur and gaudily set off with
tassels down the arms and round the
edges, an old leather belt in which was
carelessly stuck bright six shooter; this
was the attire of famous United States
ctlief of scoults-Captain Jack Crawford.
He was billed for lecture" but his
entertainment was anything but that. 1t
was a mixture OF pathos, poetry, humor
and pistol play in about equal parts,
with good deal of genius shining out
through all the performance. Captain
Jack doesn't introduce himself to bis

takes the chances about falling in a soft

DR.. w. d. Baker Mentioned as Successor

Yesterdays Oregonian says that there
is little, II anything new, in the second
district. 1t Is by no means certain that
Mr.. Charles w. Fulton will allow the
use of his name as a congressional cam
didate to succeed Mr.. Ellis; but Clatsop
county has another possible candidate In
the person of DR.. William d. Baker. He
is a Republican of the stalwart school,
sound money man, and possessed of
ability to properly represent Oregon In
the halls of congress. Not only Republi-
can friends, but Democrats opposed to
free coinage OF silver. are outspoken IN
his behalf. but the greatest trouble Hes
in the fact that Eastern Oregon Will de-
mand ,ile right to name the successor
to Mr.. Ellis. The Republicans Of that
section of the second district will not In
sist that Mr.. Ellis be re-nomanated. but
will claim the nomination as their due,
and concentrate upon some one whose
views upon the money question are in
accordance with the platform OF the ma
tioDal Republican convention and also
one vino will have the courage to stand
