GIF HAS NO REMORSE
MARKS GOOD AUCTIONEER OF
ACCUMULATED ARTICLES.
Police Department Cleans Up Several
Hundred Dollars on Sale of ,
Confiscated Goods.
Headed by Chief Gritzmacher, the po
lice held their annual auction yesterday
afternoon to dispose of the odds and ends
tiiat accumulated unclaimed at the station
during the past 12 months. More than 100
revolvers, - 60 suit-cases, 20 bundles of
miscellaneous luggage, a dozen or more
telescopes, all manner of satchels, several
trunks and 10 bicycles, were auctioned
' off in front of the station. The buying
lasted practically all of the afternoon,
and everything salable was gotten rid of.
Good firearms, secured from different
prisoners during the year, went at ridic
ulously low figures.
No matter what the purchase, everybody
In the crowd of buyers tried to appear
satisfied and most of them were. It was
the contents of the trunks, satchels and
telescopes that the buyers were taking
chances on, but their frequent misfortune
in failing to land a 'fat prize' never
seemed to make them backward about
comtrg in "strong" on something else.
The Chief proved a remarkably clever
auctioneer and had no remorse at all
when he sold some unlucky farm-hand
from Oregon City an old broken trunk
packed with old love-letters and feminine
fin.ery. One man was lucky enough to
secure a box of hat pins in a satchel that
lie had bid J1.50 for. The same person
-came back again and bid on a tel
escope which, when opened, was found to
contain about a dozen empty whisky
flasks and five or six empty beer bot
tles, lie bid as high as a dollar on this
telescope, but a man standing next to
him, who hailed from Astoria, went 25
cents higher and got the prize.
Blankets and quilts went at from 10
cents to $1 a bundle. Bicycles sold every
where from $2 to $5, and the revolvers,
which were of every make and size,
brought 75 cents to a dollar each. They
were sold three at a time, the first set
going at $5. Some sets wenr as low as $2.
In ail, the department Is believed to have
cleared up several hundred dollars.

ABERDEEN SEES RAILROAD
BELIEVES MILWAUKEE HEADED
FOR GRAYS HARBOR, ,
Right of "Way" Suits Filed and Sur
veyors In Field Near
Montesano.
ABEEDEES, "Wash.. June 23. (Special.)
Speculative rumors relative to the build
ing of a railroad to Grays Harbor are
again in circulation and are eagerly
grasped at In the hope that some of them
may be true. Following up the action
taken last year to condemn land for right
of way by the Grays Harbor & Puget
Sound Railroad Company, this corpora
tion, or rather its successors, the Union
Pacific and St. Paul Company, are con
tinuing the action necessary to fully con
trol the right of way, which was laid out
last year.
J. B. Bridges, who did the work for the
Grays Harbor & Puget Sound Company
last year, has taken action in nine addi
tional suits, and notice of such action
was filed in Montesano yesterday after
noon. Mr. Bridges is acting as an attor
ney for the company that is ostensibly
the Grays Harbor & Puget Sound Rail
road, by which this branch of the road
will be known, whether built by the Union
Pacific or the St. Paul corporation.
The residents of the little village of
Melbourne, up the Chehalis River, are
all excitement over the probable building
of the. road through that place. For sev
eral days two surveyors and others have
been in Melbourne getting options on
lands supposed to be for the right of way,
and all their movements point in that di
rection. It is reported that some of the
men surveying and also the engineers
admitted that there would be a railroad
through that section by lfl09 at the latest,
and that the work would be started, if
not this Fall, early In 1909.
The right of way has been purchased
through the old Beaver place, near
Preacher Slough, between Melbourne and
Cosmopolis.
NATURAL GAS AT ASTORIA
While Drilling Jor Oil, Good Flow Is
Encountered.
For the past year a company has been
at work on a prospect well on the Nelson
place, on Grays Bay, opposite Astoria.
There were surface Indications of oil In
that vicinity and now it is reported that
at a depth of 300 feet a good flow of nat
ural gas has been encountered. Ex
perienced drillers are at work on the
hole, starting with 13-inch casing, which
is to be reduced as the work progresses.
The drill has struck a shale stratum
which is said to contain first-class oil
indications and the management of the
company express confidence that petro
leum in paying quantities will be found
before the hole goes much deeper. It
the gas flow continues to the extent
now promised, it will be utilised to run
the engine. The company has secured
a lease on 10,00) acres of land, which
is to be tested by sinking wells in dif
ferent localities.
Academy Adds Music Course.
PENDLETON, Or., June 23. (Spe
cial.) A new course, -that of vocal
music, has been added to the music
department of the Pendleton Academy.
Mrs. Anna Selkirk Norton, prominent
In Northwest music circles, has accept
ed the position as teacher In this de
partment and will divide her time be
tween the local institution and the
Fischer School of Music of "Walla
Walla. A new instructor will also be
at the head of the instrumental course,
she being Miss Harriet Young, of La
Grande, a graduate of the Whitman
College Conservatory of Music. The
academy has Just closed a very suc
cessful year's work. President W. H.
Bleakney and the other members of the
faculty were all re-elected for the en
suing year.

LAY TEMPORARY TRACKS
Dumpcars, Used in East Sid6 Fills,
Have Their Own Way.
Temporary tracks are being laid in
several portions of Central East Port
land to be used by the gravel taains of
the Pacific Bridge Company in its con
tracts to fill streets and the low lands
in the warehouse district between
Union avenue and East Water street.
An extensive trestle Is being built on
East Taylor street between East Water
street and Union avenue for the main
line to carry the gravel trains direct
from the gravel docks at the foot of
East Taylor street. Eventually a track
will be extended eastward from Union
avenue on East Taylor in order to
reach the several streets which are to
be filled this year." Another trestle is
now being built on East Third street
between East Taylor and East Aider
streets to carry the gravel cars which
will fill up East Third street solidly to
grade. These trestles will carry the
dump-cars and will not interfere with
the operation of streetcars.
The main filling contract is between
Union avenue and East Water street,
Belmont and Hawthorne avenues, and
will take two years to complete. This
work will require more than 1,500.000
cubic yards of material, all of which
will be scoopod from the bottom of the
Willamette River, between the Morri
son and Madison bridges. The company
has completed its dock at the foot of
East Taylor street, and equipped It
with power hoists to transfer the
gravel from river barges to the gravel
cars. It is not probable that filling
operations on the East Side will std"p
now until every street and every "block
In the warehouse district has been
filled. In addition to the temporary
tracks west of Union avenue, a track
has been laid on East Seventh street
from East Morrison to Belmont, on
Belmont to East Tenth, and back to
East Morrison street .to carry the Sun-
nyside and Mount Tabor cars while
fills are being made in East Morrison
street east, of Seventh.
Threatens to Kill Landlord.
ALBANY. Or.. June 23. (Special.)
"I'll blow his head off with a shotgun
the first time I see him." C. C. Miles
Is alleged to have used this language
referring to W. S. Paul, a well-known
man residing nine miles northeast of
Albany. A warrant for his arrest on
a charge of threatening to kill was is
sued from Justice Porter's court here
this afternoon. Miles lives on Paul's
farm and the trouble grew out of this
tenancy.
California Men Buy Sawmill.
MARSH FIELD, Or., June 23. (Spe
cial.) It is given out today that a deal
has been practically closed whereby
the Hoyt-Swayne Company, shipown
ers and lumbermen of San Francisco,
will purchase the Courtney mill on
Isthmus Inlft near Marshliekl. The
mill was built about a year affo and in
well equipped, but it was novor started,
owing to financial troubles. To satisfy
a mortgage, the property has been sold
by Sheriff Gage to Wallace Soton. and
from him will be purchased by the S:in
Francisco men, who expect to operate
it to full capacity.
