The Inhabitants of Scavlew have hullt a railroad platform over a hun dred feet In b-ngth and twenty In width. A bench for thoee who study the atara In preference to llntcnlng to the sound of the sad sea waves, runs the length of the platform. The mon ey was raised by populnr subscription. There were more visitors at the conat resorts Sunday than at any time during the mist summer, but the Reason Is on the wane. Uoggnge of nil descriptions la brlna dimmed on the docks nv ves eels coming from Long ueach, while trains from Seaside are crowded with returning benchers, Many nre waiting for the regatta be fore returning.

The plalntlfT. a boy namd West, fell from a roadway and sued the ltv for damage nnj olvnlned Judg ment to the amount of H25. judge MeHrld held that the provision of the rltv ch.irter exempting the city from liability frurn Injuries due to defective sidewalks was unconstitutional. The brief filed by City Attorney Smith yes terday, was an argument In support of the city charter. Sundnv afternoon, the otherwise quiet little vlllnce of Scavlew was thrown Into a fever of excitement by the slcht f a fisherman's boat containing two men. anchored within a mile nf the shor. The mn semed to be In dls- tri.s and frnntlcally waved their arms to the people on shore, but It was long after diisl: before anyone thoucht of notlfvina a life-saving crew. Presi dent Loomls of the I. H, & N. was ohonrd to for assistance In otitain. Ing the crew, but he replied that the men could come In through the aurf. If they were In danger, Turing the night fire wer kept burning along the hor, In tlio "lopes that the men would coin In. but when the mist cleared away yesterday morning the boat w nowhere to be seen, It I surmised that the occupant were fish ermen going to some Mnt on the coast, and were awaiting a favorable wind. If such was not the ruse, then the men have no doubt found a wat ery grave. It Is sld that twice before, life-saving crew have gone out after boats, and after arriving there wen lutiKhed at by the occupants. Sunday nlaht'a aplod may have been a case of th boy and th wolf. Charley Oegood, if Young river, ha been missing chickens of late and was unoblo to account for thHr disappear ance, until a few lays ago ho saw two big w ildcats prowling around near bis chicken house. Procuring a gun, he went after them and brought two scalps to Justice Urowi-r yoaterday, Osgood will receive 12 for the same, providing h lives long enough. Justice Hrower, will nuike out affidavits to the effect that he reoived the scalp, then pre sent the same, together with his affi davit to the county court, which will at.prove the same, and forward to the secretary of state. Home time In the far future a warrant will be returned here authorising the county treasurer to pay 14 for the scalps. That the long looked for sale of the Ilttaco Hallway and Navigation Cum pany'a property to tho Oregon Hallway and Navigation Company Is a fact can not be corroborated. v!,t t la certain that the formal transfer of the road will take place today. Final arrange ment were mad In thl city yesterday, whi n President Loomls for the I. It. 4 N. Company, met President Mohler, Auditor K. 8. Henaon. Passenger Agent W. II. Ilurlburt and Freight Agent II. Campbell, of the O. H. & N. The party went to the oltlce of C. W. Fulton and, after being rliated there fr a few hours, returned to the 1. It. & N. Co.'s (bsk and Went to llwaco on the Can by. When seen y. su rday ' morning, President Loomls did not deny that a sale of the road wns undir contem plation, but sal I that the same had been talked of for vears, but nothing defi nite as yet had be n done. He s.Ud that he ii willing to sell, as he had Interest elsewiiere that required his attention. It has been known for a long lime that the O. It, & N. was seek ing a ilnep-water-harbor, rs the com pany reullxrB that It will only h a ouestlon of a few vnrs until the Wil lamette river will be unnavlguble for ile p draught vessels at Portland. A survey was made from Portland to Knappion. on the Washington side of the river, and It Is thought the O. It. . N. will elthjr try to come down here by that route, or will continue the I. It K. N. to Point Kills, where there Is a Riift'iient depth of water for a landing fur their river boats. C. F. Ji.hnson. forger, and L. L. Whitrly. embrxxlcr. two well-dnssed fellows who to all outward appearances were landed proprietors, fell Into the clutches of Chief Hallock Sunday even ing. They were his guests until yes terday evening. whn they were taken to Portland, by J. Corduno, a detective from that city. The men had been in the city sivsral days, presumably look ing for a location to build something or to Invest aome of their Ill-gotten gains. They succeeded In persuading the editor of an evening paper to per mlt them to get out a special regat ta edition of the sheet, and Iame For tune might have smiled upon them had not 'hlef Hallock "queered" the affulr. Whltely waa staying at the Tlghe hotel, with a woman who says she Is his wife, and little suspected that the ollicers In the city were on his trail. In response to a telegram from the chief of pollie of Portland. Chief Hallock went out on a still hunt for the two men and found Whltely at his hotel, while Johnnm waa apprehend ed at the railway station. Whltely strenuously denied his guilt, but a tell tale letter from his father In San Fran cisco, which contained the Intelligence that he might succeed In eluding the police of that city, but again things might be prMty warm for him. was sudlclent proof that he waa the man wanted. He Is wantxl In Fresno. Cal ifornia, while. Johnson la wanted In Walla Walla. Wash. Detective Corda no came to this-city yesterday noon, and after satisfying himself that the fellows wer the ones he waa after, he had Judge Nelson endorse the warrants for the arrests and took his prisoners to Portland on last night's train. Al though arresting law breakers Is an every day occurrence with Chief Hal lock. he deserves murh credit In catch ing his victims so quickly. If any re ward has been offered he will fall heir to It. CALIFOUNIANS COM ISO. Personnel of .the Several Crews Are After Records. Thirty athletes, among them being the swimmers, oarsmen and Jumpers from San Francisco and vicinity, will leave that city this morning for AstO' rla. The aim of the CaJIfornlana Is to bring along men who not only are good at the oar. but can also make a favorable showing In other athletic events. The crew of the Olympics, aa definitely decided upon, will comprise, Arthur Bruman, No. 1; Dr. Axton, No, 2; P-ailey. No. 3; F. J. Cherry, stroke. The Ariel crew will be composed of J. Keegan, stroke: E. Smith, afterwalat; H. Foley, forwards alst; J. Noakes, bow. The Dolphin crew: Edward Kragr ness. No. 1: Almost Pnie. No. !: Geo. Itaker, No. S; Aleck Pnpe, stroke. Aleck Pape wns substituted yesterday for Captain T. J. Kennedy, but It Is prob able that Kennedy will come along any- now. and eventually take the pluce of August Pape as forwardwalst. The Alameda crew Is made up as fol lows: Ocorge Lewis, No, 1; Chester W. Ayres, No. 2; David tlrcanleaf, No. 3: F. W. Ayres, stroke, Great things are expected of the Jun ior crew of the Arlels. They not only hope to win the conat Junior champion ship, but the coast senior championship as well. The crew Is coming here In lip top shape, with a new boat and expect to smash aome of the Columbia river records. Pesldes tho bnrge crews coming here will be J. A. Ueddea nnd Snyder Ca vlll. swimmers: W. C. Ponln. high div er, nnd K, C. Sternberg, oarsman. Aleck Pnpe will bring his shell, and George Huker and Edward Kragness will be seen In the skiff. Of the men for the Held and track sports there will be Arthur Henl-y, Airhart. Harry Irwin. Cutter and F. W. Rogers. J. A. Cedles. who will act as coacn for the Arlels. will give exhibitions in high and fancy diving. Oeddes has long been noted as a swimmer and won many honora In games of water polo. Interest In Ban Francisco Is centered In the Junior ra"e between the Aii.Ms and Olympics first, and then a race between the Alnmedas and Dolphins. The winner of the two races will then row for the coast championship. Odds are being wagered that the Arlels and Alameda will be In the final race and that the Alamedas will win out.
