"TAMMANY" PROVES POPULAR.
Transcription By Herman Wise at Star
Takes Well.

The 0regonian of the 9th inst, in
its New York letter has the following:
Another and odd source of discom.
fort to the republican leaders is the sue
cess of that charming ragtime song call
ed "Tammany." Perhaps you don't hear
it out in Oregon, but it has taken the
place Ia the affections of the public once
held by "Bedelia." ''Under the Bamboo
Tree" and other classics. II has got SO
that all the street bands play it.
Now, republicans claim that although
the air may be 'witching, yet it is hard,
ly the thing for an outing of the G. 0.
p. Every day during the summer re.
publican clubs throughout Greater New
York take trips to various suburban re-
sorts. They always take bands with
them and the bands will play tam
many" The other day the Oscar Knapp
association, of Williamsburg, went to
Witzers grove. The band, which had
been engaged at the last moment by a
committeeman who was a friend of the
leader, led the procession from the club
house to the foot of Broadway, playing
"Tammany,' Mr.. Knapp, the standard
bearer. was much upset, but did not
want to stop the parade to rebuke the
leader. When they reached the boat
the band went aboard first and, group
ing on the upper deck, played Tam
many" as the members trooped over the
gangplank. The good steamer was loos.
ed from her moorings and, as she start.
ed up the East river, the band burst
forth into "Tammany." This was too
much for Mr.. Knapp and he rushed to
the leader.
How dare you play that on a repub.
lican outingt" he demanded.
"It's a nice tune" replied the leader
cheerfully.

Electric Company Is Organized
By Seaside Men.
MOST WORTHY ENTERPRISE
Capitalization of One Thousand Fully
Paid Up. Prominent Residents In
terested. Will Take Power From Lum
Der Mill and Sublet.

Seaside is TO have an electric light
system. At the meeting Of the City
council last Friday night a franchise
was granted to corporation organized
among some of the best residents OF
the beach city. The capitalization Is
81 900 and this has been fully paid up.
The franchise is to endure twenty years.
II is the purpose Of the officials Of the
corporation, which will be known as the
Seaside Electric Company, to contract
with the Seaside Spruce Lumber com
pany for their power. This, it is be.
lieyed, will, for the time being, fur
nish ample power for the needs of the
city. The service is to include arc
lights for the streets and incandescent
globes for all residents desirous OF hav.
ing them. II is possible that the Sea.

operations in the immediate future and

JOHNSTON MccULLEY
WRITES A PLAY
Young Newspaper Man, Well Known
Here, Playwright.

Johnston McCulley formerly connected
with this paper, now with the Portland
oregoniah, has writtln play enti.
tied. "The Heir Apparent" which was
accorded an enthusiastic reception by
large audience at its initial production
in the Empire theater, in Portland, Sun.
day night
For the past year Mr. McCulley has
been a member OF the local staff of the
Oregonian, and has devoted the greater
part Of his time to special work. While
with the Astorian he made many friends
here who will be glad to hear of his
latest success. The plot Of "The Heir
Apparent" is as follows:
The play tells a romantic story OF
intrigue and love in the court of an
imaginary kingdom which must lie some
where near the frontier Of Zenda. The
king, a widower, advanced in years,
possesses a beautiful daughter, but no
male heir Here is the dilemma, and the
king seeks consort for his daughter.
An irrepressible New York newspaper
man appears just in time to discover a
revolutionary plot of the wicked old
prime minister, who aspires to the
throne. OF course the correspondent
falls in love with the Princess, who
looks with favoring eyes. Civil war
breaks out and the Chevalier Bayard o,
the struggle is the man of news. He
does heroic things for the unhappy kings
cause, but to no furtherance of his suit.
The king himself is slain after he has
awarded the hand Of his daughter to
valiant young colonel of the guard
The princess, now become a queen, ac-
cepts the decree and sends her lover
away. So in a pathetic parting scene
the fourth act and the play ends.
dor first effort the piece is sur.
prisingly good, and its young author
may well feel encouraged to try dramat,
ic writing again.

With That Of Last Year Is Report
From Fishing Circles.
SEAL SLAUGHTER MAY STOP
Secretary Lorntsen Of Columbia River
Fishermen's Protective Union Talks
on Situation. Says Cillnetters Fare
Well. In Favor Of Killing Seals.

The gilnet fishermen OF the Columbia
river are thus far about even with last
year 80 far ~ the take Of salmon il con.
oerned. This Il the statement made
Yesterday by Secretary Lorntsen Of the
Columbia River Fishermen's Protective
Union, who probably Is better posted
concerning the situation Of the gill.
neitera than any other man in the city.
II am Of the opinion that the amcint
Of i.h taken by the gillnei fishermen 10
date is about the same az that taken
last year" said Mr.. Lornt,cn, discuss.
ing the outlook for the year. 1T IL
possible that the gillnet catch il better,
but the difference, il any there be, is
slight.
"for some weeks past the upper river
th.hcrmen--tho,e who drift above the
city-haye been making fairly good
hauls, and the up.riyer run seems TO be
showing steady increase. The catches
by fishermen in the lower river have not
been 40 good On the whole, however.
the supply has been as good as could
have been expected and the gillnetters
have Jared well. The upper river catches
are much stradier than those made in
the lower river"
Mr., Lorntscn said he thought the US.
ual big run, would materialize tlas
season. as usual and he looks to see the
first Of the heavy runs in the river about
the end OF July. Packers and fishermen
are also confident that the runs will put
In an appearance.
Asked whether or not the fshermen's
union would continue to employ hunters
at Seal rocks for the balance OF the
season. Mr.. I.orntsen said that he
thought he would recall them about
week hence. The appeal for funds has
not meet with as ready response as the
Importance Of the innovation merits
and when the fund already secured is
exhausted the hunters will be notified
10 return. Mr. Lorntsen Is firmly OF
the belief that much benefit will result
from the slaughter OF seals and sealions. |
lie estimates that $4,000 worth of sal. |
mon Is destroyed every month by the
salmons enemies, and that it Is well
worth the while OF the people OF the
city to kill the seals and sealions.
Il realize that it Is inconvenient to
the people who spend the summer
months at the beach to have the sea
shore dotted with carcasses, but ii also
occurs TO me that the welfare OF the |
6OOO or 1000 persons directly depending
upon the fishing industry is of more i'm.
portance," said Mr. .Lorntsen. "The sal
mons greatest enemies are seals and sea
lions,and II we can kill them Off, as has
been done elsewhere on the coast. we
will have hundreds of thousands of dol.
lars worth of ash to pack, that is now
destroyed, look for good results"
1t was reported yesterday afternoon
that big run OF fish had come into the
river, but visit to the packing houses
showed that the supply was about the
same as that of the previous day.
