COLUMBIA TUG SERVICE
CAUSES MUCH COMPLAINT.
Vessels are Made to Pay Exorbitani
Rates to the Boats-Service Is Be
coming a Graft, 1t Is Said.

The tugboat service at the mouth OF
the Columbia river is doing more to in
lure this harbor than any other feature
which has ever worked against 1t. Ship
ping men are dIsgusted With the service
given by the present combination, and
Il Is roundly scored every day. A man
who is in a position to observe the opera
tions Of the boats, in an interview with
an Astorian reporter yesterday, said:
'sThe tug service here Is becoming

and Astoria harbor is getting black eye
In the OUTSIDE shipping world.
This afternoon a ship was reported In
the oning and both tugs went down to
Fort Stevens. There they tied up, wait
ing for the plot to sail the vessel IN.
The company has q contract with vessels
10 tow them TO Portland and then back
to the sea. and the tugs, instead Of going
outside after the ships, lie at Fort Ste
yens, 80 that they will not have to make
a long tow. This is the reason 80 many
vessels are compelled 10 remain In the
offing for days after being reported.
They are bound to get the ships anyway
and by waiting at Fort Stevens for the
pilots to bring the vessels In the tugs
can make as much money and save con-
siderable fuel besides. Apparently the
company has no consideration whatever
for the masters OF vessels.
"The tugs also work strong graft
on vessels which get into dangerous posi-
tons of the river. Along the Washing

The railroad news conveyed by the New

was the subject OF much serious COM
ment among a few knowing ones IL this

as to what the present war on the Nor

believed by some that the Northern Pa

pressed that the combination against IL

Of them-and that the least important.

and are superior class OF citizens
Many os these people arc finding their
wax as FAR west as Portland and settling
In that city. Portland real estate dealers
are overwhelmed with inquiries by letter
and personal application for desirable res

that the next twelve months viii add

The directors Of the Astoria Football
Club held their regular semi-monthly
meeting last night and transacted con-
siderable business. A number OF appll-
eants were admitted 70 membership and
the house Committee was authorized TO
increase the bathing facilities In the
gymnasium. The bowling committee was
empowered to have the necessary repairs
made to the alleys, and the noor win
be covered with linoleum. The unsighuy
benches viii be removed and comfortable
chairs substituted. Additional window
shades and clothes racks will be put In
and the alley building generally renoyat-
ed. Professor Spencer was placed In
charge Of the alley boys and he will see
that everything is kept spiek and span
around the building. The monthly ac-
counts were audited. and the books show
that the old Indebtedness Is almost wiped
out. A few more months under the pres
ent management viii see the club what
II should be-the best Of its kind on

Of occupying a comfortable clubhouse be-
fore the expiration OF another year. and
the rapid Increase in the membership VIII
make the building OF a clubhouse pos
s!ble. The A. F. c. Is an institution
which deserves the support Of every good
citizen OF Astoria. The Initiation fee Is
only $50 at present, and all reputable
people are welcome; wealth or social
standing are not necessary qualifications.

duct are the chief requirements. The
present officers are the most efficient the
