II was stated yesterday on good AUTHOR
ity that the efforts recently made in the
city council 90 indirectly prevent Fisher
Brothers and y. X. War; from extend
ing their warehouses and docks to the
channA line would not hold water. lt
is understood that work on these I'M
proven nts will commence In the near fu-
ture. Following the improvem nts 10
these docks, the Flavel and o. K. and y.
docks VIII no doubt be pushed out 10 the
chann-l line. This will make plenty OF
work during the spring and summer.
Mr. II. a. Schaub, representing the
North Pacific Steamship Company, was
In the city yesterday. and stated that
the item published in regard to the
suspension Of that line. or that TN
were about to 20 out Of business, was
entirely without foundation in fact. He
says that his company IS now as 1t ever
has been, In fun running ord-r, and that
having been the pioneers OF low rates,
he thinks they are entitled TO the patron
az. Of the business men. No doubt
Astorians will be as liberal as in the
past.
