KELTON IS WRECKED
ONCE MORE
BREAKS ADRIFT FROM DOL
PHIN, WITH BARGES AND
GOES TO SEA- WILL BE
ABANDoNED-oTHER NOTES

The derelict steamer Minnie E.
Kelton, wrecked off Yaquina, towed
to this port by the Washington, and
subject, ever since, to divers and
sundry schemes to put her afloat and
tow her to the up-river drydocks, for
general repair and renewed service on
the coast, has again fallen upon
unlucky ways, and is now, perhaps,
at the bottom of the near Pacific, or
helpless upon its strands, north or
south of the Columbia bar. Captain
Genereaux, the official salvor of the
San Francisco Underwriters, had
finally taken over the direction OF
raising her to an even keel and taking
her up the Columbia, and had sue
her up the Columbia and had succeed
ed to a point where she was cabled up
between a pair Of heavy barges ready
for the trip, and was moored to
dolphins in the lower harbor, waiting
for the towing steamers to come
down after her. On Sunday nights
ebb tide, the steamer and her barges
broke from their moorings and start
ed seaward, the steamer rocking out
from her cables as soon as the outfit
entered the rough seas on the bar,
leaving her to beat where she might,
while the barges went out on the
tide The Kelton, heavy with a
water-logged cargo of lumber and
her machinery, did not get so far out
on the first drift, but that the turn
of the food swept her back inside the
bar, while the big Calender barges
separated, the empty one going
south, while the one with the several
stationary engines upon it, went
north, and were Is miles out and
four miles apart when picked up by
bar tug Tatoosh yesterday noon and
brought into port The Kelton was
seen, close in on Clatsop Spit early
yesterday morning by officers of the
City of Panama, between Buoys Nos.
4 and 6, surrounded by swarm OF
fishing boats; and later by Bar Pilot
Arthur Leighton, from the bridge Of
the German tramp steamer Eva,
which he brought in some hours later
between Buoys 4 and E. This indi-
Gates that she was still afoat and
working with the tides. Captain
Genereaux was seen yesterday after
noon after the arrival in of the
barges on the Tatoosh, and he had
but little to say. He was grievously
disappointed at the outcome of his
time and labor and expense, but that
little plainly indicated that nothing
more could be done to save the Kel-
ton. He has worked desperately
hard in the task and to have the
whole thing slip from his grasp at
the very moment success was in
sight is palpably discouraging. The
diving apparatus belonging to Diver
Fritz Du Roc, which was on the
larger of the barges, was intact after
its voyage, fact that pleased its
owner when he went to examine it |
yesterday afternoon Mr. Du Roc
had a small barge Of his own, moored
to the Kelton dolphins, and it went

EARLY MORNING FIRE
ON 18th STREET
SMoKE-HoUSE OF THE Bos-
TON MEAT MARKET POOR
PHONE SERVICE AGAIN
DEMONSTRATED.

At 1920 A. NJ. this morning the
FIRE department were called out 10
extinguish small fire that had start
ed in the smoke house OF the Boston
Meat Market on Twelfth street be-
tween Commercial and Bond.
Although the department were fair
ly prompt in reaching the scene the
flames had gained considerable head
way when they arrived, but it was the
work OF only about 10 minutes, after
they got the streams running to put
out the flames The damage was
only slight, nothing burning but the
interior OF the smokc-hous The fire
Us thought to have started through
carelcssness on the part Of the own
ers OF the meat market, by hanging
meats in the house to be smoked, by
an open crate, and il is thought the
flames in some way ignited the
grease, thereby setting fire to the
shack.
The usual trouble was again ex-
pcrienced with the telephone service.
One Of the first men to discover the
fire, ran to nearby telephone and
proceeded to call up central to give
the alarm, he turned and turned the
crank OF the machine, but as is
usually the case at this hour Of the
night he could not raise central, who
was, apparently, asleep at the switch.
In he meantime someone else called
the fire department through the regu-
lar alarm box.
As the buildings are thickly settled
in the vicinity of the fire, there was
considerable fear felt for few min
utes for their safety, especially the
store OF 'Schol6eld & Mattson, but
there was no damage, except that
the store was filled with evil smell
ing smoke, as was the Johnson room
ing house and the other surrounding
buildings.

soon. Astoria will be the first cit,

George T. Waggoner, representing
the Automatic or Independent Tele-
phone people OF Portland, came down
to Astoria yesterday again, and stated
that his company is willing to estab-
lish an automatic system here. Mr.,
Waggoner is also ready to go right
ahead with their plans with all speed,
and that as soon as the city council
grants them franchise they will
proceed with the installation OF their
system, The fact that the Pacific
States Company has promised to go
ahead with its work and entirely re-
habilitate its system here, apparently
has no deterrent effect on the COM
peting concern, according TO Mr.
Waggoner. He also states that his
company will merely ask for a rea-
sonably favorable franchise from the
city OF Astoria, one that will permit
them to work with freedom and OF
such a nature. that il will not per-
force compel them to raise their
rates higher than they otherwise
would That Mr.. Waggoner repre-
sents responsible people is not to be
doubted, apparently, and that he
means business is indicated by the
way in which he is going after the
matter
Mayor Wise and the council will
be quite willing to grant
the franchise the automatic people
want. Il think there will be no dif
ficulty about the frnachise," said
Mayor Wise yesterday. "But ] wont
stand for any other system than the
If we were to grant
for an ordinary system now
that would mean that we will never
get the automatic here, for with two
systems in the field it would be idle
to expect third to come. Secondly,
won't stand for the franchise unless
a bond is duly made out wherein the
company binds itself to compete the
system in certain time If not COM
oleted the amount OF the bond to go
10 the city"
The automatic company has phones
n many of the cities Of Oregon, and
n some places it has practically ex
,luded the Pacific States, it is stated
In Portland it has about 10000
phones in, and Mr.. Waggoner says
hat its long distance service is i'm
neasurably better than any other ever
given on the Pacific Coast. 1t be-
gins to look as if the local company
s going to have rival in Astoria
hat will prove no mean competitor,
