R. F, P. Union." The Budgot la. to be congratulated. That an "ad." should bo published In our afternoon contemporary and be dis covered by some one between Satur day and Tuesday Is, Indeed, an Incident worthy of more than passing notice. The tugs Maggie and Ilobart arriv ed In from the Hluslaw yitorday after noon, th Maggie having thu Roharts In tow, The Ilobarts recently strand ed on ths sand at Bluslaw and was brought to Ihls city to have i.ew ma- thlivry )Ut tn to take the place of that destroyed by the water during the time she was submerged.

Judge Gray also appointed William Hock, E. C. Hugh.- and A. R. Cyrus as appraisers of the estate. ( In stutlisg that the engineer of the luunch Canity fell over-board while In toxicated Monday night, narrowly es caping being drowned, the Astorfan was evidently In error. A man on the Canby was Intoxicated and did fall overboard, but It wus a deck hand and not the cngin"er who received the ducking. The Astorlan published the statement upon what It considered the best authority, but since the report was lncijrr."t and does an Innocent party an Injustice, the Axtorlun gladly corrects the error. The body of six-year-old Puul Ahao, who waa drowned yesterday near the cannery of the Fishermen's Co-Opera tive Pac king Company, has not yet been recovered. The boy ot hi life by falling through a hole In the plunking while at play with a number of com panions, The accident was not report ed until m-vcrul minutes aftt-r the boy had fallen Into the bay, and asletance did not arrive upon the scene until long after he had Uvn swept away In the current and had passed out of sight and beyond aid. The proprietor of several of the leading restaurants In the rlty wilt pe tition the coun.-llmen at their next meeting to Increase the license for the lunch cart doing buslne In Astoria on the street corners. The reason for the action taken la that the lunch wagons com-) to Astoria inly during the sum mer months, when business is best, and leave again as soon as the fishing sea son and the annual rtgatta are over, thus taking, considerable trade away front thoa who are In business here throughout the entire year, and who pay license for each month white In business. There wa a slight fire yesterday morning at about 11 o'clock In a house owned by W. W. Parker, and occupied by one of the mill hands employed In the Clatsop Mill Company' box fac tory. The blase was caused by a spark from a neighboring chimney. Owing to the quick work of the fire department the fire wo quickly extinguished, be fore there was a chance for any serious damage. There wo a ktrong wind blowing at the time, and had the fire gained any headway, It might have re sulted very disastrously. Secretary McCue of the regatta com mittee received a telegram from the Vancouver Rowing Club yesterday af ternoon stating hat the Vancouver licys were desirous of entering the contests here next month. Letters have beer. "received from parti-? In San Francisco, Portland and other coast cities, promising the committee all pos sible support for the great carnival. Tho committee has ordered the manu facturo of a large number of ballot boxes to be used In the voting contest for the regatta queen. The voting, It 1m understood, will commence not 'ater than tomorrow afternoon. The report of Barny Gallagher, the road supirvlsor for district No. , show 8am Harris of this city to be a philan thropist of tho first order. A ehort time ago Mr. Harris called upon Deputy Assessor Carnahan at the courthouse and paid his road poll tax, amounting to J2.50. A few days later Supervisor Gallagher called upon Mr. Harris and notified him that he was still indebt ed to District No. 6, In the sum of J2.ro. Sam promptly paid the amount and It waa not until the balance sheets were turnsd In to Deputy Carnahan that the discovery as made that Har ris had mad two payment on the same assessment. Sam's attention was Immediately called to the matter and Mr. Cnrnnhan tendered him the mon-in ey. Mr. Harris, however, would not accept the money, explaining that "If 1 was fool enough to pay the money twice, I'll stand the loss." Therefore, Deputy Cartuihan's books report a do nation to the road fund of $2.50. Captain A. T. Stream owns a dog, nnd thereby hangs a tale. He also owns a house, and right outside his door there are several stumps, and the captain came down town to get some c'ynnmlte with which to blow up these decayed tree remains. In a spirit of fun, the store-keeper, where the sup ply was bought, sold Mr. Stream sev eral long pieces of hard rubber In stead of the explosive, and the cap tain, not recognizing the difference, pro ceeded to attempt the removal with the aid of the substitute. Here Is where the fun commenced, The dog was fooling around and, seeing a piece of the pseudo-dynamite about an "Inch long lying on the ground, picked It up In his mouth and trotted off to the house with It. The captain wo In a dilemma. If he attempted to catch the dog and any violence were used the dog would blow up and Incident ally wrack the house and kill ' Mr. Btn-am. If he allowed jhe dog to run around with the stuff Inside of him. It would be only a question of time be fore the dynamite exploded anyhow. There wo but one thing to do, and that muat be done quickly. Gingerly plcklnr the dog up, he carried him to tlm river, and with a "dust to dust" look upon hi face, consigned the poor animal to the water. After learning of the "fake" later on, the captain was a mad a wet hen, and It Isn't safe, even now, a wetk after the Inci dent, to mention blowing up stump long a the captain 1 around. Tne Dalle Time Mountaineer ha great faith In It community a a coal producing district. In It Issue of July iHth the following article was pub lished: "For fifteen year or more Messrs. Bettlng.-n, Mclnemy, Moody and Nlcholi have persistently held that this wa a coal country, and have spent thousand of dollar prospecting. At last thMr effort bid fair to be crowned with uccess. They are at present operating c n a vein half a mile from Collin that promise to develop Into a valuable mine. The vein I on ly two feet, five Inche thick, but It dip Into the mountain, and they ex pect It to widen as they get further In. The coal Is of first rate quality, and . If It proves to be a permanent vein ! will be a valuublj property, since Itj U conveniently l.xated o that it can ! b. run clown to the river on a tram- way, the loaded car pulling the empty j .mes up the In-line. Mr. Bettlngen came up yest.-rlny from the mine, and j will return Monday to prosecute the ; work of prospecting." Superintendent Hegardt wa In the city yesterday, and statvd to an As to- j rlan repres'jntitlve that the progress of j the preliminary work on the Jetty waa being much retarded by the lock of workman. He states that there Is Im- t mediate need for 100 additional men. ; A good start ha been made in re pairing the old trentle and otherwise getting ready for the main work, which should not be delayed when the pre liminary preparations are completed. It seet.is atnnge that the government should exp.'rlenre any difficulty In get ting all the workmen required. Good wages are paid, the men have good board at an exceedingly low prfce, and they are In every way comfortably lodged and cared for. P-esldes this, considering the amount of work there Is to do, the employment for good hand may be conilderod permanent The publlo Importance of the extension of the jetty Is such that the press of Oregon and Washington. would do well to give as wide circulation to '.he de mand for men as possible. WILL WAIT AWHILE. Way and Means Committee Not Sat isfied With Bids for Lights. The wa)- and mean committee of the Common Council opened the bids for city lighting yeeterday afteroon at 1 o'clock. Properly speaking, there were no bids at all, as the only one which come anywhere near responding to the stipulations expressed In the call issued by the council waa that of It. S. Mo Leran, of Portland, who proposed to furnish the city with gasoline lamp of 100 candle-power at J8.75 per lamp, the lamps to be purchased outright and operated by the city. The Ween Shore Mills Company did not, of course, wish to be overlooked In the matter entirely, so It filed a communication to the effect that It could not entertain a proposition to furnish lights for the city at the max- ANOTHER BEG CUT PRICE SALE Decorated Cups and Saucer I for 65c Decorated Breakfast Sets 1$ pieces 31.00 Decorated Jardlnler Beauties 15 25 35 40 50c Decorated Cuspidors See them 0c Decorated Pitchers At ...10c and 25c 20 per cent off 20 per cent off Enameled Ware Lamps...

Just how this can be brought about I not perfectly clear, as the councllmen have already passed an ordinance declaring that they will not entertain a propo sition Involving an expense of more than S per light per month. The West Shore Mills Company, on the other hand, having declared that It will not undertake to furnish arc light to the city at a price as low as IS, an Issue ha been clearly Jotted. The majority of the councllmen are still firm In support of the original ul timatum, their position being chiefly in opposition to the unreasonable rates which were attempted to be exacted by the West Shore Mills Company when that company evidently believed it had a "dead cold cinch' on the lighUng business In Astoria. The ways and means committee will Incorporate In Its report to the council next Monday night a recommendation that the time for receiving bids be ex tended for at least one month In order that eastern parties, who have given evjdence of a desire to enter bids, may have sufficient time to obtain details as to the terms to be fixed by the city for furnishing public lights.
