run took another upward squirt, and
Tuesdays returns figured up one Of the
best days work Of the year. Several
canneries packed from 200 to 500 cases

Tuesday things have slackened up. All

REGATTA COMMITTEE.
Not the Response by Merchants There
Should Be.

The members of the regatta finance
committee were fairly successful yes
terday, in their efforts to raise funds
but there Is a possibility that through
the failure of some who will be most
greatly benefited to give thetr just pro-
portion of the expenses, the project may
fall through. The idea seems to pre-
vail in some quarters that the regatta
will be given in any event, but this is
entirely erroneous The finance commit
tee have concluded that 1t will be better
to give back the money already subscrib-
ed IL all do not respond, and VIII reluc-
family abandon their work unless there
is decided change tomorrow. A num-
ber of the subscribers last year were
men who derived no great benefit, and
many OF those who were enriched TO the
extent of several hundred dollars gave
the small sum of $3.50, while few gave
nothing and reaped a rich harvest. 1t
will be useless to give a regatta this
year unless the subscriptions are much
more liberal than was the case last Aug
ust, as the expenses will necessarily
be much greater 1t should be remsm-
bered that the members of the finance
committee are devoting their time with
out remuneration, and in addition are
compelled to spend no little money while
canvassing. After the regatta is ovsr,
II 1t can be arranged at all, balance
sheet will be published showing the
amounts received from each, and the dis
position made of every dollar collected,
so that subscribers can see that the
money went into its proper channel.
Certainly no one with an ounce of busi-
ness sense will have the hardlhood to
assert that every dollar subscribed will
not be returned ten+fold or twenty-fold.

PEABODY MUSEUM.
Many Relics of Prehistoric Life on This
Continent

While visiting the Agassiz museum at
Cambridge do not forget the Peabody
museum, which is separated from the
ether only by bit Of smooth lawn. Both
sre located only a short distance from
Memorial hall, and are reached through
the shaded promenades known as OWN
ity avenue. The Peabody collection will
not be so instructive to children as the
great animals of the other building, but
for high school scholars and their elders
1t contains much of absorbing Inter
est.
In 1866 George Peabody gave $l5O,OOO to
found a museum and professorship at
Harvard, which should be devoted to the
study of American antiquities. Previous
to that year there were only few scat
tered collections in the country, hard to
get at for study and of little value from
their lack of classification and arrange
Snent. Some valuable relics were allowed
to go to England and other countries, not
because their Importance was not known,
but on account of lack Of interest in the
subject.
Mr.. Peabody's generous gift, however,
reused public attention to the fact that IL
America wished to know anything of her
own aboriginal history she must take the
work in hand and make her own eXplora-
tions and collections. The Peabody mu-
scum is an illustration Of what may be
accompn shed in q comparatively short
time by men thoroughly equipped for
their work and willing to spend their
splendid powers Of intellect, enthusiasm
pnd integrity in pushing 1t.
There is theory at the present time
that the earliest American relic goes
back about $1,000 years. To connect that
historical antiquity with the people who
were found here in 1870, by an unbroksn
chain OF sub-so.l evidence, is what the
workers at the museum would like TO do

Auditor Osburn received two letters
yesterday which plainly show that there
are some people who are woefuly ig-
norant as to what or where this little city
of Astoria is, and also that the writer's
are under the impression that this city
IS good field for the opening of several
more saloons. One of the letters is
from Cincinnati and addressed to the
city clerk of Portland, and from that
official mailed to Auditor Osburn. 1t
reads as follows please inform me
what the state and city license for a
saloon is per year in Storia, a place
about fifty miles from Portland. BY
an immediate answer you will greatly
oblige, etc." The other Is from Corvallis
