The implied criticism contained in

the following communication from
Chief Foster OF the fire department;

&C. +. FOSTER,
"Chief Engineer Fire Dept

"Chief Engineer, Fire Dept"
1t is apparent that Chief Fosters
statement may be entirely true and
yet there may have been delay. The
reporter for the Astorian wrote just
what he was told Mr., Carlson, pro-
prietor OF the "Our Corner" saloon
states that he saw the incipient blaze
and tried to get central. After vain
ly trying several times he gave il up
and ran out to waken the people in
the Johnson rooming house. Then
his barkeeper grabbed the telephone
crank, and he assert that he had
trouble in getting central, and only
did so after ringing "three or four
times Meantime the night bar
tender at the Sunnyside saloon was
also trying to get central and ne says
that he also had serious trouble in
getting connection. He also had to
ring "three or four times" These
men say that the ringing three or
four times took several minutes, or
"three or four minutes" The Astor-
ian did state that the alarm was final
ly turned in over the call box. This
evidently was error, as Chief Foster
naturally would know, but it received
this information on what then ap-
peared good authority, which, how
ever, proves erroneous; though that
has apparently nothing to do with
the question of turning in the alarm
over the telephone system. Whether
this was done speedily or slowly
The Astorian does not know, and it
simply repeated what these several
gentlemen said.

TATOOSH HAS Line
ON KELTCN
WAS HEADING FOR HARBOR
WITH HER LAST NIGHT-MA-
RINE MOVEMENTS IN ASToR-
IA WATERS YESTERDAY.

The derelict steamer Minnie E
Kelton up to noon yesterday, was
moving about the inner waters of the
Columbia river bar with the wash and
the tides and shortly after that, got
in the way of the steamer Northland
Captain Ericsson, and she had to take
the edge of the channel in circum-
venting her. She was then at point
a little to the landward of Buoy No.
6. Later in the afternoon Captain
Bailey, of the bar tug Tatoosh, got a
line on her and at 7 o'clock last even
ing was holding his own against the
ebb-tide, and beating slowly into
port. When last heard from he was
off Buoy No. II, opposite Fort
Stevens.
1t is no surprise to anyone in this
city who knows the master Of the
"Tat", and he will make clean show
ing on this job if he gets the ship
inside, as she was notoriously aban-
.doned at the last account anyone had
of her before he hooked on to her;
unless it shall develop that he is dor
ing the work at the behest Of the
Underwriters at San Francisco; but
at this writing there is no way Of
verifying such conclusion.
There is a very handsome speed
boat on the ways at the R. NJ.
Leathers yards just now, for which
DR.. Vaughn and friend are respon-
sible. They intend to have the crack
boat of these waters from the looks
of the thing, the West Butte and all
the rest of the flyers to the contrary
notwithstanding. She is copper fas-
tened and of fine materials and has
some dainty and promising lines al
ready in view.
