BEET SUGAR IN OREGON.

Oregon Agriculturalist.
The successful establishment Of a
great beet sugar factory at Newberg.
Oregon. win probably be worth even
more Indirectly than directly 10 the
farmers in that section. The thorough
culture required to produce a good
crop OF beets win bring Increased
yield OF crops grown In rotation with
beets. The most profitable use which
can be made OF the beet pulp from the
factory is to feed It to milch cows, and
a factory which uses the beets from
5000 acres Of land should In few years
result In giving Newberg the largest
creamery in tho state. The great In
crease in the supply Of skinned milk
win stimulate the production OF poul-
try and swine. The increase In the
density Of the farm population which
win result from the intensive methods
OF farming will make improved roads
possible as well as necessary.

THE PHILADELPHIA ARRIVES.
Preparing to Take Members OF Oregon
Naval Reserve on Annual Cruise.

The United States cruiser Pblladel-
phia arrived on the mouth Of the rives
from the SOUND yesterday afternoon
and crossed in at $50. She dropped
anchor in the lower harbor where she
is expected TO remain until some time
today.
The Philadelphia will probably leave
out tomorrow with the members Of
the Oregon naval reserve on the an
nual cruise. The Portland companies
are expected TO arrive today and will
Immediately go into service. They will
be fully 100 strong. II Is not known
how many Of the Astoria division will
make the trip but 1t Is believed that
fully twenty Of them will report on
the cruiser before the time for sailing.
A number Of the members Of the
local division are complaining because
their employers object TO allowing
them vacation so tina. they may 20
on the cruise. Much indignation Is
expressed all along the line. and there
is good reason TO believe that a nuIc-
Der Of designations may be rendered
unless some Of the employers recede
from their position in the matter.
A prominent officer OF the local organ
izatIon stated TO an Astorian represent
alive last evening that the dissatis-
faction caused by the action Of some
Of the employers in Astoria was
shared by every member Of the local
reserve.
There Is some justification for their
position" said he. I'm the fact that
they can not well spare their exper-
fenced men at this particular time in
the year when business Is heaviest. AT
the same time were an attack to be
made upon this coast by foreign pow
er. they would be among the frst %
complain because the government did
not have enough trained men TO afford
proper protection. These annual
cruises have been designed by the gov
ernment for the benefit Of the coun-
try. especially the seaport towns along
the coast. and Astorians certainly
should be deeply interested in the un-
dertaking."
The sentiment expressed by the off,
Ger is shared by majority Of the
leading business men throughout the
city and the hope is expressed that
none Of the boys who are desirous Of
going on the cruise win be disap-
pointed.

WILL BE DECIDED TO-DAY.
Meeting TO Determine Whether Date Of
Regatta Shall Be Changed.

Tho local criticism concerning the
dates selected for holding the regatta
this year has resulted In call for
meeting Of the finance and press COM
mittees with y. L. Parker. Harry
Harablet and q. G. Fulton, 70 take place
at the customs house this afternoon at
2 O'clock No doubt decision Will be
arrived At a. TO whether the regatta
VIII be held on the 18th. 18th and 18th
Of August, as originally determined. or
be changed 70 the 25rd, 2th and 25th,
a. suggested by the business men OF
the city.
Wednesday night, the press commit.
tee sent q dispatch 10 Chairman Stock
ton. who IN in Salem. as follows;
Local public sentiment Is unanimous
that the dates FOR holding the regatta
should be changed 70 August 20. "a
and Is. This Is the result Of lnvesti-
CATION by press committee"
Yesterday afternoon reply was re-
ceived as follows:
Have Secretary Mccue confer with
O. c. Fulton. Harry Hamblet and F.
L. Parker about regatta dates. WIN
agree to their decision"
Owing TO the absence Of Mr.. Fulton
and Mr. Hamblet from the city and the
illness OF Secretary Mccue. no confer
cnce could be held yesterday. but II is
expected that all parties concerned will
be present at the meeting this after
noon.
The main object in the mind OF the
committee for fixing the dates as ear
iy as II did was TO steer clear" Of
the rain. Weather Observer Johnson's
reports for the past fifteen years show
that between August lst and August
18th there has been no rainfall save In
one instance. Between the 18th and
25th there have been one or two rainy
days each year. Basing their conclu-
slons upon these deductions the COM
mlttee decided TO hold the regatta so
that Il might close on the 18th. II is
quite generally held. however. by the
residents OF the city who have inter-
ested themselves In the matter. that
much which might be gained by holding
the regatta on the dates mentioned with
the assurance OF fine weather. would
be lost in countless other directions he
cause OF the unseasonableness OF the
time.
However. the question will most
likely be decided today and the mat
ter finally disposed OF.

FOR WIDER THoRoUGHFAREs,
Judge Bowlby Makes a Suggestion to
the City Authorities.

An important suggestion on the Wild
ening Of the streets of Astoria is sub
mitted to the Astorian by Judge J. Q.
A. Bowlby in the following communi-
cation:
EDITOR ASToRIAN:-The streets
of Astoria are too narrow. Not wide
enough for light and air, for fire pro-
lection. or convenience of travel and
traffic. A street car line almost blocks
the street.
There are two streets that can be
widened to eighty feet each with only
trivial expense. Commercial from Four
teenth, and Exchange from Mcclure
line to Twenty third street or Clat-
sop mill. vacate Duane street
throughout that district and make a
twenty foot alley of 1t.
Let the property on the south side
Of Commercial street dedicate twenty
feet to the street IN consideration Of
the twenty feet gained on the other
end Of the lot from Duane street. Let
the property on the north side Of Ex-
change street dedicate twenty feet to
Exchange in consideration Of the twen-
ty feet gained on the. other END Of
the lot on Duane street.

number OF coyote, wildcat and other
scalps. for which certificates have been

drawn In payment thereof-at the rate
OF 50 for every scalp. This statement

the preceding quarter the total number
OF scalps paid for was S,65S. at a cost

Of $7S,sO2. Clatsop county did not tax

of eight. While the destruction Of the
pests is a most laudable project, the
interests of Clatsop county center more
In scalps Of sea lions and seals than
In coyote and wildcat scalps. The
fishermen on the Columbia river have
suffered greatly from the ravages Of
these pests upon the 0almon. They not
