Mcneil or knowledge by him.
We are Informed by Captain NC
Neill that while the copy sent in to
the Observer was the original manu-
script as submitted to the board, the
Introductory lines were written by
him and thoughtlessly intended for
an editorial introduction of his article,
but which the editor naturally sup
posed was the clerks official report,
as said above.
Captain Mcneil requests us to say
that his article had reference to the
current expense account, as fully ap-
pears in the text as printed by us.
The subject brought before the pub
lie by Alderman Mcneil is one of
vital Importance to this community;
and, assuming of course that his fig
ures are correct, he deserves great
credit for his patriotic endeavor to
change defiance of the law into ODE
dience to the law by the never failing
agency of publicity.
The columns of the Observer are
open to a full discussion of this whole
subject.

New oYrk, May 12.-Wrapped in

Third avenue, the body of six-year-old
Josephine McCahill, who has been
missing since May 2, was found to-
night. The body was lodged near the
top of the chimney and it was neces-

to release it. 1t is thought that the
body, which was terribly cut up and
mutilated, was placed there within a
day or two.
The McHahill ease has attracted
much attention, the belief being that
the child was kidnapped. Rewardli
aggregating $3.50 were offered by
various persons for her recovery, and
mass meetings were held to consider
plans for conducting the search.
Today a letter was received by Mrs.

A mass meeting of Columbia river
fishermen was held yesterday morning
for the purpose OF taking steps TO pre-
vent non resident fishermen from opc
Grating on the Columbia during the
season. The matter has heretofore
been discussed at great length. not only
a. meetings OF the fishermen, but as
we'll through the papers. The laws Of
both oregon and Washington make It
impossible for any person other than
a resident OF the two states to secure
fishing license. but the non-residents
have succeeded In getting licenses. The
resident fishermen are very much OPP
posed to this encroachment, and at the
meeting held yesterday vigorous pro-
test was registered. AZ the attendance
was not as large az was desired. a COM
mittee was appointed to arrange for
another mass meeting, to be held at
Q o'clock this afternoon. This second
meeting viii take place at the c. r.
r. p. y. hail, ana It Ia hoped TO take
some action which win prevent the
non-residents from fishing. Just what
method the fishermen win adopt to
gain their end has not yet developed.
but II is thought probable they will
adopt a resolution calling upon the
state authorities to enforce the fishing
law. The committee appointed to ar
range for the meeting IL made up Of
J. r. welch, Charles Borgenholtz and
Andrew simonsen.

Captain Bailey OF the bar tug Tatoosh
stated last evening that the ocean Ii
literally alive with chinook salmon.
Because OF the muddy condition OF the
river, the fish are not entering. but II
the water of the Columbia ever clears
there will be a big run OF fish. Cap
tain Bailey says the fish are to be
seen beyond the muddy water on the
bar. For about is miles the water Is
not very clear, but beyond the salmon
can be seen jumping out Of the sea.
Fish caught during the past few days
are found TO have accumulated sort
OF clay substance In their gills-the
mud with which the water OF the river
seems full. The presence OF this mud
makes II impossible for fish to live
in the water for more than a few days,
and for this reason the salmon are re-
outside. The situation Is one
Of the utmost gravity for It has ruined
what would have been an early run Of
hatchery salmon. Reports received
yesterday OF cloudbursts in eastern
Oregon indicate that there is little Inn
prospect OF the river clearing,
and the indications are the run of fish
will be still further delayed. The pres-
ence Of the fish of the river has raised
the old question Of the feasibility OF
deep-sea fishing for salmon. Some Of
the fishermen aver that q trawl could
be arranged which would make large
catches comparatively simple. but as
yet no one has attempted this method

Into q combination having for It's OBJ

near Astoria. In the case Of the peo-

combination has the mail contract,
which calls for only three trips weekly.
and that the service Is limited to those
three trips. The people there want a
daily steamer. but the combination will
not accede to this demand. Charles
II. Calender states that he will I'm
mediately prepare one OF his COM
pany's boats for this run and will mix
matters with the trust. The people
OF Knappton, 1t Is believed, win back
up the independent steamer In It's eff

trance OF the Calender company into
the field OF warfare will complicate
matters In a decided manner, and per-
haps start some trouble for the trust.

HOSE TEAM sANouErED.

some Gold Medal.
The banquet given to the members
of the Astoria hose team last evening
was an enjoyable event for the young
men who won the state championship
and even more pleasant for M. D..
Knutsen. who was presented with a
handsome gold medal as a token Of
the esteem in which he is held by the
other members of the team. The pres
entation came as a great surprise to
Mr.. Knutsen, who had just been sub
jected to a fake roast by Captain Brown
for the failure to make connections in
the dry test. This race is regarded
locally as the ''hoodoo" event, for no
Astoria team ever captured 1t away
from home. Thousands of dollars have
been wagered ON this contest by sup
porters Of Astoria teams, but never
once have they won. So when the ac-
cident happened at Portland, Mr.. Knut-
sen was jokingly scored, and last even
ing the matter was recalled. Just
about the time the runner began to
feel that he was being unJustly taken
to task, Mayor surprenant presented
him with the medal. Councilman Lein-
