MANY MEN ARE MISSING.
Full Reports From the Disasters caus-
ed by Tuesdays Storm Not
Yet Received.

Just how many lives were lost IN
the terrible gale Of Tuesday Is yet
unknown. Eleven men are missing.
but II is not believed that all Of them
have perished. In fact. It Is hoped
that no lives have been Lost. other
than those previously reported.
The trouble is that nothing has been
heard Of the missing men and until
some word comes from them, their rel
atives and friends cannot help but fear
the worst
The various canneries were busy
yesterday rescuing their boats from the
river and off the beach at various
points, where they had been driven
ashore.
The loss occasioned by the storm
win, unfortunately. fall heaviest up
or those least able to bear It. the
fishermen. Nearly all the fishermen
own their nets and in the case OF every
capsized boat not only the nets, but
the supplies were lost. 1t Is understood
that the canneries win furnish nets to
men employed by them, who lost all
they possessed by the storm.
Until the full extent Of the loss OF
life and property is known. beyond
all doubt, no attempt win be made to
give anything like exact figures on
the result Of the storm. At best 1t
is terrible.
The number Of boats put out Of SER
vice by the storm win make a great
difference in the salmon catch for q
week or more and every effort win
be made to put the fleet on it's old
standing as soon as possible. The
storm was unlocked for by every one.
No such weather has ever been known
in the month Of May in this local.
ity.
Some fears are entertained for ves-
sells outside but there seems to be no
reason for apprehension since up to
midnight last night no word had been
received Of any marine disasters.
Announcements Of the funerals Of
the drowned fishermen, whose bodies
have been recovered. win be made to-
morrow.

but FOR the fact that Mayor Bergman
called II 70 their attention by bis ac-
tion.
II Is q shame that Astoria. through
It's mayor, found II necessary to call
the attention OF strangers, here to en-
JOY themselves, as well as attsnd 70
business, TO a purely local quarrel in
which the people, having released the
grip Of corporation upon their treas
ury. refuses TO again allow that corpora
tion 10 oycrcharge the taxpayers for
inadequate service at extortlonate
rates.
But no matter II Mayor Bergman
dld advertise the lighting question to
the strangers and no matter II the
West Shore Mills Company did make a
grand stand play. that has fallen fiat
since the people have realized what
were the motives that actuated the
corporation in making It's charity Of
fer OF free street lights, the question
Astorians are interested in Is still un-
answered and the interest OF the tax
payers IN II has not abated enc Jot.
Are the people Of Astoria l. have
their own public lighting system or
are they to be once more placed In
a position 10 be robbed, day after day,
week after week and month after
month. by corporation that furnishes
lights that are almost worthless and
charges the city double the price that
other cities pay for lights Of guaran-
teed power and admitted utility?
While the Astorian has no desire TO
hurry the water commissiea Into any
action on the lighting question, 1t feels
that the commission owes II to the peo-
pie TO give them. II II can, some in
formation as to what It is doing 10
solve the problem placed before II by
the people through the council.
Astoria Is but one Of a thousand
cities in the United States that are
struggling to escape from corporate
control in the lighting matter.
Milwaukee is considering an issue of
sl50.0Go bonds for the establishment Of
municipal lighting plant, and ST. Paul
also proposes to build a public light
ing plant.
The water commission can have
no excuse for failure to inves-
tigate the advantages Of a public light
ing system, and It is not supposed for
a moment that they have neglected their
duty, hut the people would like to hear
from It's members; would like to have
them say whether or not they are in
vestigatlng the lighting question and
what progress they are making.

Odd Fellows Elect Officers and Select
Place for the Next Grand
Lodge Meeting.

The delegates to the grand lodge Of

pie yesterday morning when called to
order at $3.50 o'clock sharp. The en-
tertainment Of Tuesday night on top Of

to bed tired out, and to be reused at
In order to be on hand at the lodge
room when the grand lodge was call
ed to order was no small infiiction. But
they were there.
The election Of officers was the spec
ial order of business. IN the grand

Corvallis and Portland contested for
the honor of entertaining the next
grand lodge, and Baker City won, the
vote being 139, 2, 80 and 81 for the
cities in the order named above.
Then the delegates adjourned for a
ride TO Seaside. An excursion train
consisting Of eight cars was awaiting
them at Flavel dock. and here they
were Joined by the Daughters Of Re-
bekah and numerous guests. The ex-
cursion was Of the basket order-'take
your own lunch with you, but, if you

ments of the citizens for their very
successful work.

VIEW OF FISHING SITUATION.
Vice-President Of Packers Association
Makes Important Observations.

The Portland Telegram last evening
contained an interesting interview
With Samuel Elmore, vice-president
Of the Columbia River Packers Asso-
ciation, concerning the fishering situa-
lion on the lower Columbia. The in
terview Is, in part, as follows:
Estimated salmon pack, 100000 cases.
Estimated price. $500 per case.
Value. ,i,SsO.OO0
These figures for the 1900 pack on
the Columbia river are furnished by
8. Elmore, the well-known cannery-
owner and prominent business man OF
Astoria.
"Of course" said Mr.. Elmore, when
seen at the Portland and interviewed
about the salmon situation on the
lower Columbia. the figures give
you must be taken for what they are
worth. At this early date It is i'm
possible to tell with any degree Of GER
tainty the size OF the pack OF the price
that VIII be obtained. Judging, how
ever. Of the run up to this time, while
the pack Will not exceed last years
It viii be fully as large-500.OO0 cases.
Furthermore. the market conditions are
such that 1t Is safe to predict the
price viii range from $50 to s1.eO per
Dozen, or average 500 case. and
free on board the cars In either As
toria OF Portland"
BY the term free on board the cars''
Mr. Elmore said It meant the buyers
would absorb the freight.
In speaking Of the general situation
on the Lower Columbia, Mr.. EImore
said conditions are a little nuo hm
said conditions are very good. The
run Is large enough to furnish plenty
Of fish to all interests. There will be
no sharp competition in the matter Of
prices. he thought, between the cold
storage people and cannerymen. un-
less the run diminishes and fish be-
come scarce before the end Of the sea
son. The present price Of 6ls cents per
pound paid fishermen viii likely re-
main as long as the supply holds out.
cannerymen in the past have been
known to complain about the manner
in which white fishermen made them
trouble. and have given the class a
pretty hard name. Mr.. Elmore says
there is no need to have any trouble
with these fishermen. He says as long
as they are treated all right and paid
a reasonable price for their labor there
will be no trouble. He has found that
they can be depended upon and will
work for the best interests Of their
employers without being watched.
When asked IL the propagation Of
fish by means OF hatcherias Is practi-
cal. Mr.. Elmore replied that it is II
the hatcheries were made to hatch in
stead Of lying die along with the s22,.
900 in the state treasury. Hatcheries
he said. are very important to the fos-
tering of one of the most valuable in
dustries in the state. and money in
vested in the enterprise win return the
state a hundred fold interest.

TO IMPROVE THE CHANNEL.
Commercial Organizations Urging the
Proposed Federal Appropriation.

The local chamber of commerce is
bringing to bear every possible infiu-
ence in support of the bill appropriate
ing money for the improvement of the
jetty and channel at the mouth OF the
Columbia river. In this work the AS
toria chamber has the hearty and val
liable cooperation of Its sister organ
ization at Portland.
President Van Dusen Of the Astoria
organization, has telegraphed to the
Oregon delegation the following mes
sage. which was supplemented by a
letter which went more into detail:
Repairs to jetty at mouth Of the
Columbia river is absolutely necessary
before Autumn shipping to prevent in
calcuable injury to the grain producers
of the Columbia river basin. and the
immediate appropriation Of $25O,oOO is
urged by the Astoria chamber Of COM
merce."
A dispatch from Washington says
that the chambers of commerce had
quick action on its telegram asking
for $3.50. 900 for the mouth Of the Colum-
bla river, as the sundry civil bill was
reported soon after carrying this ap-
preparation. Continuing, the dispatch
says: 'sHowever, this was obtained
by the persistent work of the Ore
gon senators. 1t provides for the repair
and improvement of the jetty, includ-
ing repairs to wharves. approaches,
tramways, plank. quarters and build
ings and contingent expenses. There
will he some difficulty in holding this
appropriation in conference, as Chair
man Cannon, Of the house committee
on appropriations, will fight it bitter
| ly.
"Other provisions in the sundry civil
bill for the Northwest are $4,000 for
light and fog signal at Desdemona
sands. In addition to the appropriation
of $l1 900 Of 1895, which then provided
for a light and fog signal at Slip
point, on Clallam bay Washington;
for launch for the customs service
at Astoria, s2,5OO. in addition to the
same sum appropriated last year; fish
culturist at Clackamas, $500, and fish
hatchery in Idaho, $4,000.
