Fully a down boats were out all of yesterduy drugging- eddies In the river In the hope of finding the bodies of the !Cot Astoria boys, Hugo Mud- strom and Warren Robinson, who went out In a sail boat on Huturduy night lust and have not been seen since, It Is now almost a certainty that the boy were drowned, a sufficient time has elapsed for them to mak known their safety to their parent had they ! n rescued by a pasulng boat or awnm ashore. It is suld the hoat In which the boys started on their lll-fatud trip wss con sidered, even oy good boatmen, a dan gerous triift, tho sail being much too lurgo for It'tt also of the boat, but thl very fad nmd It the fastest bf at, In that respect, on the river and consequently It was a favorite with the boys who had often suited it, even In rough weather, and made safe landing. Ko far as Is .known, the upturned boat found on Flavel beach has nt been Identified as the boat In which the boys started out, but there . Is little doubt that It Is the same one. Hi far as recovering the bodies Is con cerned.old river men sny that they may never come ashore. According to the men who know the river, if the boat upset when the tide was running full out the chance are the bodies will be carried arrosa the bar and out to oe, Previous to the building of the Jetty bodle caught by the flood tide were usually washed ashore near Seaside or some neighboring beach, but now the current carries them straight out to the wean. If the boat overturned at the ebb of the tide, which is said to be unlikely, then the river men say the bodies will probably come ashore near where they went down. The greatest sympathy I extended the families of tho two lost youth and friends will continue the work of trying to recover the bodlc. believing that the certainty of the death of the boy will be easier for the parent to bear than the suspense and hope caused by uncertainty as to their fate IS ENGINEER LOVELACE DEADT Coroner Pohl Says He Is Not Fully Satisfied That the Engineer "X ... U Alive, Coroner Pohl Is by no mean sail fled that tbe suicide found in the river and burled bl W It; Lovelace, au ex Southern Pacific engineer, wa not In verity, the right man. It will be remembered that the body aa Identified a that of Lovelace by Mr. Sympson and other but shortly .after the burial a letter appeared in the Portland Oregonlan saying that Lovelace was alive, well and at work at V lento. The letter to the Oregonlan wa not written by Lovelace but by a friend who failed to sign his name. In pursuance to the testimony of fered at the Inquest, Coroner Pohl cor responded with parties In California in order that the wife of Lovelace, sup posed to be with her parents In Cocra- mento, might be made aware of her husband's death. Answer he has re reived Indicate that Lovelace had no wife In Sacramento, unless he was married very shortly before bis death, If he Is dead, but the coroner ha aa- certalned thnt Lovelace did have a divorced wife and three children now living In Lathrop, CsJ., the eldest of the children being 17 years of age. He has also ascertained other facts con cerning the deceased which be de clines to make public. . "I Intend to find out whether or not Lovelace 1 alive," sold Coroner Pohl last night. "It 1 my duty to 'do so a an official and beside I am by no mean convinced that the letter con cerning Lovelace printed In the Ore gonlan wa not the work of Irrespon sible persons or some friend of the dead man who desired to screen hi name from connection with the sui cide. It seems strange to me it Love lace la alive that he ha not taken the trouble to assure reople of the fact. However, I will know in a day or two whether the man we burled a Love lace 1 Lovelace or not." A FRATERNAL OPENING. Finnish Brotherhood Society Christens Bentllla's New Cigar Stand. Tho Finnish Brotherhood Society wound up their regular meeting last night by an act of supreme generosity1. The meeting adjourned to christen the now cigar stand recently purchased by them for John Bentllla who waa crip pled In an accident at the Clatsop Mills. The brotherhood recently de cided to fit up a stand for Mr. Ben- tllliu giving him fixtures, stock and a month' rent, at a cost of over $1,000. When tho member of the brotherhood had assembled at the place, which 1 located at the old Dunbar store, Pres ident Fred Wlckman made the presen tation speech. Mr. Bentllla returned thanks In a most sincere and eloquent manner, and then, being ordered be hind the counter, . the llrst purchases from the new stock were made. It Is not an exaggeration to say that fully one-third of Mr. Bentllla' splendid stock was carried away by his friends and that -the cash register was thor oughly Initiated. ' MR.

A report was set In circulation yes terday to the effect that the Astoria ft Columbia River, railroad manage ment had determined to change the schedule time of trains between this city and Portland. To be more defi nite, It should be. stated that the ru mor clique had It all arranged that the evening train leaving here for Port land at 1:10 would take its departure about three hour earlier so that As torlans might arrive In Portland In time to take In the theatrical perform ances. No doubt the management would re joice to make such an exquisite ar rangement to pleaae the exquisite set. and there Is still less doubt that the arrangement would be highly appre elated by those who deem It necessary to go to Portland to. relieve their care fully-preserved wallet, but the cold material fact remain that the rail road company ha made no such ar- ngtmcnti ttlQ tiftg hollilrt of that nature In contemplation". TWO high official of the road declared yeater day that they had no Intimation con cerning the rumored change of schedule One stated that It was possible that, during the summer months, a Satur day special schedule might be adopted for the convenience of thoee desiring to come to the seashore from Port land, but even this,, he said, had not yet been finally determined upon.
