The Celebration.

The meeting of the Fourth of July committees at Ohman's Hall, Friday evening, June 18th, was called to order promptly at 9 o'clock by President Willis. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
 The committee on Sports sreported that ball game between Treadwell and Douglas had been added to the programme, for which prize consist ing of complete base ball outfit was offered. The game will be called at 9 a. m. on the Fourth. The committee on Music had no report. MT. Carl Brick son, in behalf of the Douglas Harmony Band, stated to the meeting that the band boys were willing to play on the Fourth for any amount which the com mittee would give them, providing a sufficient sum was guaranteed to pay some extra musicians they would have to hire for the day, and also to pay their leader.
 The arrangement committee reported that badges, sashes, printing, morning exercises, &c., had been arranged for.
 The Committee on Finance reported S4S300 already subscribed in Douglas and the canvass not completed. No re- port from the Treadwell end.
 The Committee on Ball had no re- port to offer
 The Committee on Site reported that the grounds would be in shape for the celebration.
 A motion to reconsider the action taken at former meeting, to dispense with the services of band, was carried and motion to guarantee the Douglas Harmony Band the sum of S700O for the Fourth, and as much more as pos sible when other expenses were paid, was carried.
 The Music Committee was instructed to procure music for the ball.
 The motion to dispense with an ora tion was reconsidered and R. J. Willis was made committee of one, to se- cure an orator.
 On motion Mir. Carl A. Strom was added to the Ball Committee.
 Mr. A. Murray was then elected Grand Marshal of the Day, after which the meeting adjourned.

The base ball clubs are getting or ganized in fine shape for the game on the Fourth. The Douglas team has been strengthened by the addition of several very good players. At Tread. . we'll they have strong aggregation that promises to make the New town boys earn their money. It will be a great game on the Fourth.
 Children's Day was celebrated last Sunday evening at the Congregational church. The exercises consisted of songs and recitations by the children of the Sunday School, and an address by Rev. Coyle. A collection for mis- sion work was made special feature, and each child was given an envelope to enclose his or her contribution.
 The work on the Douglas wharf is now progressing as rapidly as could be expected. The old cattle chute, which was torn out by the Topeka, will be re- built and remodeled at the same time, so as to admit of the unloading of ships without the use of the sling. When completed the Douglas wharf will be frst.class in every respect, and large and strong enough for any boat to tie to.
 The Sitka Indians have gained an additional s6,OOo, which is good-sized fortune to them, by the active com petition of fur dealers to secure their catch of sealskins amounting to about 500 skins. By active bidding prices were raised from S10 to s22,50 per skin, with little regard to the average quality of skins brought forward. When the pelts began to arrive this year a Port land buyer took the field against the firm in Sitka which for years has had control of the trade. As result of the rivalry in the bidding, the price was jumped to s22.50 per skin, to the ad- vantage of the Indians.
 Last Thursday afternoon Mrs. O. H Bernard entertained few of her friends at cards. The game of the after noon was Coal Black Lady. Mrs. Me Laughlin of Juneau proving herself an adept at avoiding the Lady, carried off the first prize, her score being only 33; and also the first prize in guessing contest as to the number of violets in a large bouquet. Mrs. Veasie and Mrs. Richards carried off the booby prizes. Decorations and favors were Alaska violets. After the games a dainty luncheon was served. The ladies pres ent were: Mesdames Veasie, Tubbs, MacD Donald, Daniels, Watson, McAuley, Ott and Thom of Treadwell, Mrs. Jones, of San Francisco, Mesdames stoody, Richards and Freestone, and Misses Galloway and Henson of Doug las, and Mesdames Mclaughlin and Jorgensen of Juneau.

In a left-handed eulegy OF Senator
Fulton. the oregonian reminds him that
he has heretofore pledged himself to
betterment of the whole state of Ore
| gon. and to no one particular section.
The oregonian's preoaution is timely,
indeed. II Senator Fulton made any
pledges to Multnomah or any other
county (and The Astorian believes that
he has made no pledgesl, he is certainly
under no obligation to keep them. The
support of community to which a
candidate for office had pledged himself
would naturally be expected in return
sor promises, but if the community in
question opposed the candidates cleo
ticn with every dirty method that could
possibly be employed. the candidate
would feel at liberty to disregard his
promises, Were Senator Fulton to
employ Portland tactics in the senate
of the United States, he would assut,
edly entertain no regard for the bun-
doing city at The mouth of the Will
lamette. But that city is fortunate,
for our new senator is above such dis
reputable work as that which charac-
terized the warfare against him--a
warfare based solely on the geograph-
ical location OF his home. 1t is Just
possible Senator Fulton's ideas OF Port
lands needs as compared with those of
Astoria may differ in minor details
from the views entertained by the
esteemed oregonian. Perhaps he may
not favor an expenditure OF ss,eo0, 900
for dredging out the river between AS
toria and Portland for the especial and
sole benefit of the very pleasant gen.
tlemen who control grain exports and
a side appropriation of $1,000 for a Gus
toms launch at Astoria. which latter
appropriation our Portland friends so
vigorously opposed. We are satisfied
he will treat Multnomah with due fair !
ness, but. seriously, after all that has
transIired in the past, can he be ex-
pected to lie awake O. nights scheming |
to get bill through congress which
will render available the air vessels
necessary to successfully maintain
Portland's seaport pretensions? But
Senator Fulton win be fair with Multi
nonah. because. unlike some of the
leading men of that county. he is hon.
