Editor Astorian:-
Everything on this side of the bay
is full of life.
At this time of the year the crabs
shake hands with the big bugs from
the interior. and the clans acquire
better knowledge of the interior than
before.
The greenness of those superior be-
ings from interior cities is somewhat
amusing to the people here, as we'll
as ours would be in some Of the cites.
The following remark is heard quite
often: 1.-The tide is coming in now, is
it not?" Yes" II suppose the waves
run the other way when the tide is
going out"
The railroad company has done, and
is still doing, a big amount of work
this year. When all the work on the
old line is done that is commenced,
the road viii be practically new one.
The railroad is giving better satis-
faction now than It used to give; not
from any bad qualities it used to
have, but from the better qualities
now People generally like both Les
ter and Walker.
Some Of the boys tell joke on
Walker, that the way to tell If you
are on first class train is that Walk
er wears good clothes, and smiles all
the way through from Flavel to Sea-
side. But If you see him don his con-
ductor cap at Warrenton, replace it by
skull cap, remove his coat and vest,
loose the top button of his pants, and
spit on his hands, and cast his eagle
eye among the crowd, then you may
know that you are on a mixed train.
The hay crop was not large this
year but it has been secured in first
class condition.
Most of the farmers will do better
this year than last, because better
prices prevail. Potatoes win probably
be worth twice as much as last year,
or more.
Judge Gray and the city councilmen,
Messrs Young and McGregor passed
by here yesterday. They were exam

The season at clatsop beach has
fairly begun. All the summer resorts
have a goodIy number OF guests and
the camping grounds are filled with

been so many campers as at present

and are there for the purpose Of get

that can be had.
At Seaside the Mcclure and Grimes
hotels are well filled and all Of the
cottages are occupied. The stores are
doing a good business and there are
many new ones this season. The Hol-
laday place is more attractive than
ever, while many pleasure seekers
have gone to Elk Greek The satur-
day night balls at Seaside are proving
an attractive feature, while the boat
ing on the Necannicum never was so
popular as II is now. The fishing is
good. and many prefer bathing at high
tide in the creek rather than in the
open surf
Beautiful Gearhart is handsomer
than ever. and Manager Barmore has
determined to make 1t the resort Of
resorts on the beach. The grounds
have been improved. hammocks have
been swung in all the trees, various
kinds OF amusements indoors and out
have been provided. while dancing and
music in the evening help to while
away the hours. Life lines have been
stretched on the bathing ground and
a surf man takes care that no one ven
lures too far from shore. Mr.. Bar

clambake is given on the beach. while
immense bonfires afford comfort to

SUNDAY AT cATHLAMET,
Herman wise's Picnic a Grand Sue.
cess in Every Way.


Four hundred and fifty people at
tended Herman wise's picnic to Cath
lamet Sunday, the Ocean Wave car
rying as many as by law allowed. The
day was an ideal picnic day-not too
warm. nor still too cool. The Astoria
Military Band. under the direction Of
Mr.. Joseph Gribbler, was in attend
ance. and the music furnished was one
of the most pleasing features of the
excursion.
Arriving at Cathlamet. the picnick-
ers repaired to the baseball grounds,
where the Press nine. of Astoria, and
picked Cathlamet team crossed
sticks. Three Examiners played with
the Press team--Allen, center field;
Burlington, pitcher. and Lovett, catch
er, Mr.. r. Coxhead Lee umpired the
game. He will be buried tomorrow,
under the auspices of the Ancient Or
der of Prevaricators. The interment
will take place in the potters' field.
The game was quite interesting, al
though all kinds of runs were made.
A feature of the day was the heavy
batting for the visitors of Ignatius
Grant and MasSrey. In the sixth in
ming Grant went to the bat with
the avowed intention of losing the
sphere. The first ball he put far out
in the left field, but it was foul; the
second was dropped in almost the
same place. Then the pitcher threw a
few balls, after which he put pretty
one right over the plate. Mace didn't
do thing to it but send it far out
over the centerfelder's head. He made
home run amid the cheers Of the
crowd. Masl1rey did some good bat
ting, making three three-baggers and
home run. Astoria won the game by
a score Of 2S to IT.
The races as programmed were all
closely contested. after which dancing
was indulged in. The affair was very
successful and the large crowd thor
oughly enjoyed themselves. Mr.. Wise
is to be congratulated upon the sue
cessful manner in which the picnic
was conducted.

THE GOOD BARK
COLOMA RETURNS
Captain Moves Is Welcomed Home
by His Hundreds Of
Friends.
TIMES IMPROVED IN ORIENT
BHtinsss in All Lines Very Much Better This
Tear Than in the Fast Qnich Trip
Made From San francisco
to the Columbia.

The good bark coloma, the favorite
in Portland and Astoria, reached port
Saturday evening from San Francisco.
Without doubt Captain Noyes is the
favorite skipper with all Portlanders
and residents Of Astoria. Since the
captains arrival in the city he has
been entertained BY many OF his old
friends who were glad 70 welcome him
home from the Orient
In conversation with an Astorian
representative yesterday, Captain
Noyes said that he left Eongkong on
his return voyage April 3. having on
board 1850 tons. consisting Of gem
eral cargo OF oriental goods for San
Francisco. The latter port was reach
ed in fifty-nine days, no stops being
made anywhere en- route. and fairly
good weather having been experienced
on the entire trip. The captains wife
and daughter are with him, having
made the round voyage once more, as
they have many times ia the past.
The entire cargo was discharged In
San Francisco. without one cents rec
lamation being made. This Is an ex-
ceptional record and in keeping with
Captain Noyes' successful business
policy. The coloma left san Fran
cisco for this port Saturday, July r.
arriving here in d little less than fif-
teen days time. The captain is sat
is1ed with having made better time
than many coaster which left about
the date that he did. and particularly
with having beaten the time made by
Captain Patterson. Of the Tam o'shan-
ter. The, Coloma brought cargo Of
salt from San Francisco for Lewis.
Of Portland.
Captain Noyes says that business in
Hongkong this year is hundred per
cent better than it was on his last
trip. In fact, all lines OF trade were
booming. The stock market was very
lively, and shares were selling at good
prices. The captain stated that the
Orient is magnificent market for
Oregon timber and spars. He also
said that If saw mill plant was es-
tablished here capable Of turning out
export timber and lumber. he would
never go to Portland for another load
as it would be much preferable to load
at the mouth Of the river and save
towage to and from Portland. Not
only expense would be saved, but 4
great deal of time, which is valua-
Bile consideration on long ocean yoy-
ages. He had talk with Mr.. Ham
mond yesterday. and hopes that by
another season he will be able to se-
cure his cargo at Astoria and save
that much time on his annual voyage
1t will be a pround day for Astoria
whene he can load his staunch ship at
the very mouth Of the river with Or
egon's best product and deliver it in
the Orient at good prices.
The Harvest Queen win tow the Co
Iona up the river. leaving here at 3
o'clock this morning.
