COL. BADEN POWELL.
is ADMIRED BY THE BRITISH
Has Been Nicknamed Is. P.-How He Fs-
capped the Attentions of a Tircsome
Woman,

1t may he said that no man has arous-
ed more affectionate enthusiasm among
the English people of any of the leaders
/ In the Transvanl war-not even except
ing "Bobs"' himself-than Colonel, now
General Powell. the hero of the siege
| of Mafeking. This Is due not only to
his achievement in successfully resist
ing the Boer Investment for nearly five
! months, but also TO the picturesque
character of the man himself His
dash and nerve and resourcefulness, as
displayed on many occasions, have led
Englishment to regard him with the
same idolatrous admiration as was law
ished upon our own '''reddy" Roosevelt
| after the Cuban campaign. In fact
these men have so many traits in coln-
mon that they have often been COM
pared.
Our Yankee cousins have Yankee
fondnesss for nicknames, and they
have applied to their newest hero the
unique distinction of being known by
the two letters which form the initials
of his name. Nobody in England re-
fers to him as Baden-Powcll nova
days, He is known everywhere as ''B.
P and TO arouse the enthusiasm of
British crowd II is only necessary to
mention these letters, or to display the
familiar features Of the British Rough
Rider"
Many good stories concerning Il. L.
are going the rounds nj present, ana
one of the best of these relates not to
his achievements in lighting Kruger's
men, but TO his success in escaping
from bore of another sort in time of
peace. The handsome colonel has al
ways been n fayorite with the ladies,
and he has received n great deal of the
sort of attention that is lavished on
matinee idols. II is said that when he
was quartered at Malta he was greatly
bothered by the persistent attentions of
an admiring person of the kind deslgnat-
ed in England as garrison hack"--a
term applied to young women who de-
vote themselves to officers on station.
This particular garrison hack persisted
in accompanying the gallant B. p,
then n captain. on his daily walk. To
escape from bore in so small n place
as Malta is difficult matter but after
devoting some thought TO the subject
b. Z. managed TO do 1t by Disgusting
himself as navy. For three days in
this disguise he lounged past the unsus-
pccting damsel as she was waiting for
him. Emboldened by his success, on
the fourth day the NAVY" approached
the siren and said. BEG pardon, miss,
could you tell me where Captain Baden
Powell is TO be found? Three days he
has sent me along the road TO see II 1t
is clear enough of lasses who like walk
ing, so that he can take his tramp In
peace. haven't seen SO much as Il
staylace on the road and I want to re-
port to him
1t is related that thenceforth B. =.
took his afternoon tramp undisturbed.

FOR ILLEGAL FISHING.
Two Offenders Against the Law Heav.
lily Fined and Their Boat
Conflscated,

Dominic Terabushe, Antoine Pischu-
ich, John Staulch and Mitchell Coallch
were arralgned before Justice OF the
Peace Brewer yesterday on the charge
of illegal fishing. The complaint read
that the men were found on April IA,
1900. fishing for salmon in the Column
bia river, by then and there drifting
a net In the waters of said Column
bia river, with intent and for the pur-
pose Of catching salmon fish in said
net"
The first two men named were ar
rested by Deputy Fish Commissioner
S. BrittS on the Washington side Of
the river and the last named were
the victims OF Deputy Fish Commits
sioner Laughery's vigilance on this side
of the stream.
Terabushe and Coalich were fined $50
and costs each and the other men, be-
ing merely boat pullers, were allowed
to so free. The two fishing boats cap
tured are held for contiscation. The
men fined plead guilty but urged in
eXtenuation of their offense that they
were only doing what fifty other fell
lows were doing"
The court would accept no excuse,
however. and the men paid dearly for
not Obeylng the law and taking out a
license. 1t is intimated by the officials
that heavy fines for illegal fishing will
be the rule, especially for violations at
the opening Of the season, such as
those In court yesterday.

RECRUITING LIFE SAVERS.

! Numerous changes are being made in
the life saving corps at the various
stations on the Northwest coast. The
life saving service offers but little in
ducement for volunteers. The pay of
the men is only $50 per month and out
OF that amount the men must provide
their own board and clothes. The only
chance of promotion in the service is
that Of being raised to the posi-
tion OF keeper OF station at
s75 per month. A more arduous, dan
gerous and i'll paid service does not
exist under the government than the
life saving corps.
The order Just issued transfers Will

ma bay station, and two substitutes

and the government, even if We have
but one wreck in a half score of years,
does not recognize the value Of the
life saving corps.

the other stations to Fort Candy sta
ton was in the regular course, We

Property Holders Do Not Hesitate to
Pay Their Property Road Tax.


The property road tax is being paid
with unusual promptness Besides the
many individual property holders who
paid their assessments yesterday,
there was a prompt remittance in the
sum Of s23S.SO from the Hammond
interests" Sl49.67 os which was paid in
behalf OF the Astoria & Columbia River
Railroad Company.
c. Z. Foster qualified before Judge
Gray yesterday afternoon as supervisor
for the Astoria road district, filing his
bond for $500. Assessor c. w. Carna-
han was chosen as deputy.
II is believed that there will be
little difficulty this year in collecting
the road poll tax. as most Of the en-
ployers throughout the city have Sig
nified their intention 10 assist the su-
pervisor in every way possible.
Judge Gray said yesterday that II
the cannery people would stand In
with the county officials in order that
the collection Of poll taxes might be
facilitated the county would be
several thousand dollars better on at
the end of the season. There were
many persons in Clatsop county during
the fishing season, he said, who paid
no poll tax at any place unless they
could be forced 10 do their duty to the
county and state while reaping the
benefit from their operations on the
river.
