How the Victims Got Even.

The local manager of the Thomson line
has the reputation about the Grand
Trunk wharves and the steamship offices
as being a most persistent and successful
practical Joker. There is not man in
the steamship offices on the wharves who
has not been made the victim of this
gentleman's jokes and tie result has been
possible before he left Portland for the
season. All manner of tricks were
planned but the Thomson line manager
is most foxy and crafty man, and it
was impossible for the would-he jokers to
catch him mapping.
Becoming desperate at last, they in
serted n want add in the morning papers
for boy at a salary OF IS per week at
the Thomson line Office. The applicants
began to arrive early for this position
and the first one was on hand before the
genial manager CT the Thomson line was
out of bed. This ''early bird did not
catch the worm.'' but he did give the
manager of the Thomson line an idea of
what was coming All day long the
manager was receiving applicants for this
position and to his credit it must be said
that he treated all corners in his usual
courteous manner. The TELEPHONE was
also worked considerably during the day,
but the manager kept his temper and

PUSH THE RANGE LIGHT QUESTION

No more important Improvements to
Astoria harbor has been agitated than
that OF the establishment Of range lights
at the mouth of the river. ard it shows
the progressiveness Of the A p. c. A.
members that among their frst active
efforts is this projec: and the securing
of the Cramp line of steamers to call
here on the run between San Francisco
and Alaska
Every harbor Of any precautions what
ever has range lights for the safe guid-
Hnee of vessels al night. The Columbia
river east Of Astoria has them at all
dangerous places for the use Of the river
steamers; why should there not be safe
guides at the mouth Of the river that
will enable ocean vessels to come i1to
hsrbOr with equal facility by day or
nigiai? 1t is safe TO say that the III
fated Cadzow Forest could have been
saved had theirs been range lights for the
guidance Of the pilot who perished with
her. Pilot Tattenis feat the other night
could more frequently b. repeated. and
vessels sailed into port instead OF stand
ing of after dark and perhaps undergo
iug many days delay. if ever returning
at all.
The question Of securing these lights
from the government should be a very
simple one. The expense involved Is not
great, aid they are a necessity at a port
situated as this is and handling the
amount Of business it does. The cham
Der Of commerce had the matter up sons
time ago and it is bdieved now that If
its action is followed up bv vigorous
work ald personal lobbying at the com /
ing session Of congress, rhe lights can he
secured at an early date. The o. r. 4
n Co., who's steamers are arriving and
departing at all hours Of the day Il
night, would no doubt use It's influence in
the matter, which would be not iaconsid
cradle. Since his assumption Of the
reins Of power on the o. r. & N, Presi- /
dent Mohlcr has done much 10 aid the
commerce and growth Of Astoria, and
If the Importance of these range nghts
was brought to his ettention no doubt
he would assist in securing them.
In an interview the other day, Captain
Cordiner, one of the best known and
abest bar pilots of Astoria, told an As
torfan representative that the same
amount of money could be spent for
nothing else that would add so much to
the harbor and Its attractivenese to ship
masters and ship-owners, and insure
greater safety to the lives Of all whose
callings-none too safe under the best of
circumstances-require them TO 20 in
and out of the harbor at all hours.
Almost all harbors that pretend to be
anything have such lights. They are
spread aHl along the Columbia between
Astoria AID the Willamette, ana are
more needed at the mouth of the river
than any where else.
Many vessel arriving of tha river
IN storm after dark could make a safe
harbor and avoid the dangers and delay
Of beating arotsnd outside # We had these
lights It would only require two lights.
