Bicyclists win Avoid Trouble and Ex-
pense by obeying the Law
Charges Answered

The blcycllsts Of Astoria who have
neglected to comply with the law, and
pay the license imposed by the muni-
clpal ordinance, are going to get into
trouble.
The state law regarding bicycles.
and bicycle riding, does not apply to
Clatsop county. because the charter Of
the city, adopted before the bicycle bill
came before the legislature, covers the
same ground as set forth in the state
law and the legislature gave prece-
dence to the charter provisions and
exempted this county from the opera
tlons OF the state law.
The municipal ordinance, under
which the bicycle commission is acting,
is based upon the charter provisions,
and Is undoubtedly good law" This
leaves the bicyclist in Astoria a choice
between obeying the law or putting
away his bicycle.

sire to work hardship on anybody

thority they occupy to enforce the law

The meeting Of the Grand Lodge OF
Fellows Of Oregon in this city on May
22nd next promises to be an import
ant event Delegates from every por-
tion Of the state will be in attendance
and in such numbers as to tax the pub
lie entertaining facilities Of the city.
Already the hotels and principal lodg-
ing houses in the city are booked full

Fellows are busying themselves hunt
ing for rooms.
There is an abundance Of room in
Astoria TO accommodate many times
the number OF delegates who will be
here, the only trouble being to find
the places. Those who have spare
rooms which they would be willing to
rent to the delegates will confer a
favor ON the Odd Fellows by notifying
any member of the lodge Of their ac-
commodations, etc.

tors they certainly have "a good time
coming" for the local members Of the
order have prepared all sorts of en-

ASTORIA WILL CELEBRATE.
Business Men Take the Fourth Of July
Celebration in Hand-com-
mittee Appointed.

The question Of doing something
for AstoriS>." in the way Of securing
visitors during the coming summer on
Sunday excursions and u having a
genuine. old-fashioned Fourth OF July
celebration, which will be the only
one on the river" is not going to be
left unanswered by the business men.
They are going TO do something for
Astoria"
Yesterday a number Of gentlemen
met informally TO discuss the Fourth
Of July proposition and. after discuss
ing the matter fully. 1t was decided to
place the preliminary arrangements In
the HANDS Of the following committee:
r. r. Stokes. NJ s. Copeland, d. Nc
Allen. B. F. Allen, II. Wise. ]. T. Ross.
T. j. Ryrie. J. N. Griffin and A. v.
Allen.
The gentlemen named win at once
commence a canvass Of the business
men and citizens Of Astoria generally,
10 ascertain how much money can be
secured for celebration OF the
Fourth.
The extent, splendOr and success Of
Fourth Of July celebration in Astoria
win depend almost entirely upon the
liberality Of the citizens. There Will
be an abundance Of earnest, honest
volunteer workers TO make II a sue
cess, providing they have something
to work with. but 1t is impossible to
give a successful or any other kind OF
a celebration on the Fourth OF July
without sufficient funds.
A fortune is not needed. but a reas-
enable amount Of money must be rails
ed, and must be judiciousIy expended
where and when 1t win do the most
good.
The committee appointed by the busi-
ness men is composed Of men Who are
certainly able to make a dollar buy
a hundred cents worth at all times
and who know. too. what a Fourth OF
July celebration ought TO be. In their
hands both the Astorlans who give the
celebration and pay for 1t. and the
hundreds OF visitors who win come
here to enjoy the fun. will get theil
moneys worth" and the city win b.
the richer in many ways thereby,
Let everybody get in and help ant
make the celebration Of the coming
Fourth Just what it is planned to be
the only celebration on the river"

NEW TILLAMooK STEAMER.
One OF the Best Constructed Vessels
Ever Built on This Coast
Ready in July.

The framework of the new Tillamook
steamer, under construction for Mr..
Elmore at Suple's shipyard, Portland,
is rapidly nearing completion. Every
timber, and nearly every spike put in
TO the vessel, has undergone rigid in
spection by Captain Shrader before
being used.
Captain Shrader has taken up his
residence close to the shipyard and has
remained constantly in the vicinity
Of the work during its progress,
shipmasters from all over the world
have inspected the vessel and unan-
imously commend Mr.. Suple's work as
being fully up to the standard Of any
builder in either this or the old coun-
try
The ship Is being constructed under
general plans worked out by Captain
Shrader. who, in all that goes to make
up the practical sailor and navigator,
is the peer Of any man on the Pacific
coast. She win be especially adapted
to the particular coast trade In which
she will engage, and will have many
Improvements not found In other ves-
sells of her class. When completed, she
will represent the sum Of Captain
Shrader's long years of experience and
observation in coast navigation, to
which end no expense is being spared.
She is the largest vessel ever built
at Mr.. Suple's yards, and her tim
bers are remarkable for their solidlty
and the thoroughness with which they
are put together. The engines and
boilers are being constructed at the
Willamette Iron Works. They will be

PICKED UP rnEIR NETS.
Fishermen Spread Their Meshea IN the
Ship Channel on the Bar and
Lose Them.

The steamer Harrison, from Tilia-
nook, In crossing in over the bar on
Wednesday night. was unfortunats
enough to pick up the nets Of two
fishermen which speedily wound them
selves about the propeller Of the ves-
sci until the engines had to be ctop-
ped. The nets were spread in the
ship channel and there was neither
lights nor anything else to mark their
location, although 1t is doubtful II the
steamer could have avoided them with
out going aground. had their been
signals out.
From the bar up the Harrison came
in under sail, docking about o'clock
Thursday morning. II will probably
necessitate the work Of a diver to
clear the propeller, as the nets are
tightly wound about the shaft and
blades. The nets win naturally be a
total loss.
The Harrison brought a full list Of
passengers and over forty tons Of dairy
and other produce. She viii leave port
on time.

The experience Of the steamer Har-

morning shows the importance to fish,

ing tugs and steamers. At one point
where the Harrison ran over a net she
halted for nearly half an hour endeav-
oring to locate the fisherman who
raised an outcry. Although the cap
tain made very effort by repeated call
ing to obtain the help Of the men
in the fishing boat in getting around
the net. after their first shout Of warn
ing they kept silent and the steamer
was finally sent ahead. only to run
squarely through the net. Although
they are not obliged by law to do so.
the officers Of all the steamers are
very accommodating to the men who
crowd the channels with their boats
and nets. It often happens that a
steamer is stopped to avoid running
over a net in places where the tides
and currents make 1t exceedingly peril
Gus to do so. In places like these.
it is certainly not too much to expect
Of the fishermen that they will hasten
to remove their gear out of the way
or. at least. aid the delayed vessel
to pass around the net by pointing out
its location.

cused the public ways commission
better known as the bicycle commits
sion-of stealing from the funds col
lected last year.
The clerk OF the commission. Mr..
Charles X. Higgins, is the only per-
son handling the funds and he cannot
pay out except on an order counter
signed by myself as chairman. and
orders cannot issue without frst be-
ing authorized by a majority Of the

hardly justify the dishonesty Of any
OF the members or the clerk Of the
commission, as now constituted, al

the trainers OF the act creating the

the commission OF dishonesty have
