BIG FORCE OF MEN AT WORK
Between 450 and 500 Engaged
at Rock Quarry.

Forty 10 fifty cars of.rock for govern
ment jetty work at the mouth OF the
river pass through Astoria daily. The
rock comes from Bugby quarry, 80
miles up the river. where there is quite
village of workingmen engaged In
taking out and loading rock on the
cars.
An inviting camp-slte has been pro-
yided by the Northwest Construction
Company for the men and Bugby town
presents an air OF prosperity. The num-
Der of men on the pay roll runs from
$50 to 500. The lowest wages paid is
81. .25 while some get as high as s. day
making pay roll OF about $500 day
or SSe 900 month. The men came from
Seattle. Tacoma, Portland, Astoria, San
Francisco and other points where 1t
was possible to pick them up. To get
men the company paid their transpor-
tation from Seattle and San Francisco.
They are furnished cheap houses and
board at $4a week so laborer may
save something from his earnings II
he desires. The work at Busby VIII last
seven or eight months vet possibly
longer. II viii be very lively little

Voyage Made in
Nineteen Days
A Letter From Greek Fishermen
Tells Of Their Remarkable
Trip Down the Coast.

Peter Greeman, weli-kn0wn fisher
man. yesterday received letter from
Nix Gorgos and Nix George, the As.
toria fishermen who made the ocean
trip TO San Francisco In their fishing
boats, The letter was written from
I'cnecia. California. and was dated Sep
tpmber 6.
The fishermen crossed out OF the Col
nmbia river August IS. each in charge
Of boat. They had an excellnt trip
down the coast. and stopped at Eure-
k;i. Cal, for provisions. They reached
I:eneela on the 9Th inst, having made
the trip In 10 days. The Golden Gate
WAS reached two days previously. the
men remaining for one day in San
Francisco.
In the letter the daring fishermen ex-
plain how they managed 10 get sleep
during the long trip down the coast.
The boats were together all the time,
and at night one would be made fast
to the other. one OF the mea standing
watch while the other slept. In this
manner they enjoyed the required rest,
and we're not exhausted from loss Of
sleep as was stated In Wednesday
nights dispatches.
Jnst how long the men stopped at
Eureka is not stated in the letter. but
they probably left Immediately upon Sc
curing supply Of provisions. They are
now at work at the Hume. cannery at
l3enecia.
This trip successfully completed by
the two fishermen Is remarkable, not
alone for the daring exhibited by, the
occupants OF the boats. but as well as
showing the qualities OF the Columbia
river fishing boat. The bosts used on
the river are the very finest small craft
In the world, rivaling even the famous
Yarmouth yawl used by English coast
fishermen. The yawl is also a remark
able boat, and persons who have fished
on the English coast say the boats will
draw 40 or so miles in night. The
Columbia river boat Is rapid either in
heavy or light weather, and no gale Is
100 severe for 1t. Accidents occurring
are due generally TO inexperience Of
fishermen or to the fact that their
boats are caught in squalls while the
nets are out. The weight Of the net
drags under the boat and swamps 1t.
Very few fishermen have attempted
the San Francisco trip. but all who
have undertaken the T00-mile voyage
reached their destination In safety.

Couldn't Agree
On The Measure
Council Fails to Enact Ordinance
to Regulate Plumbing
in the City.

There was plenty OF fun at last even-
ing's meeting Of the city council. Mem
bers entertained vastly different opln-
Ions OF the manner In which plumbing
should be done. and some OF the
speeches were OF the monkey-and. par
rot order More amusing than circus
was the session. and when. at 10
o'clock, some one moved 10 adjourn,
absolutely nothing had been accom-
plished.
An ordinance offered by Chairman ].
II. Hansen. OF the committee on health
aud police, prcclpitated the trouble.
The ordinance was framed after those
laws which govern the larger cities Of
the Northwest. and required iron vents
beneath buildings and iron yentilating
pipes. II did away with wooden sinks.
except In photograph galleries and res
taurants. abolished terra Gotta pipe,
and generally altered time -honored
conditions. Incidentally, Il defined the
duties OF one James HanKaford. plumb
Ing Inspector. Mr.. Hannaford has been
holding down the Job for some time.

guidance. He had no authority. and
every time he met councilman on the
street he would breach the subject The
inspector is now quite as badly of as
he ever was, for the council knocked
the whole matter on the head
Trouble came up when one Of the Sec
tions was voted down. The section APP
piled To other sections. and the striking
out OF one interfered with the whole
ordinance. Mr.. Leinenweber OF the
Third ward. did not want his part OF
town goverened By the same strict pro-
visions that might. with some reason.
I've applied TO the Second ward and part
of the First. while Mr., Wilson was
equally anxious TO avoid getting the
Ecople of West Astoria into difficulty.
Down there they have few sewers.
So, as obnoxious sections were read,
they were voted down. until the meas
ure was shorn of its vitality. Early In
the game Mr.. Hansen wanted TO with
draw the measure. saying that he did
not purpose fatherlng an ordinance
that did not meet with his approval.
Bat his fellow-councilmen could not
see matters In that light. and the gen.
tleman from the Second ward was COM
pelled TO sit by and see the provisions
OF his law hacked TO pieces.
After two and one-half hours OF
wranelIng. the council rejected the sec
ton defining the duties OF the inspect
or. This WINS the death blow to the
measure. and then. by almost unani-
nous vote. the city fathers decided
that they didn't want any plumbing or
Alnancc. City Attorney Smith had told
them that there was some question as
To the legality OF the Legislature pass
ing an net requiring other legislative
bodies TO make laws and this was glad
~ accepted as an excuse for killing the
plumbing ordinance.
Meantime Inspector Hannaford Is
merely holding office. There Is nothing
In the city charter to guide him. nor
has he any authority. II Is thought
members OF The council will get togeth-
er and frame up measure that VIII
