Diin can Stuart Takes His Life Message From Ajer, Cal., Con veys Shocking News Brother Goes to Scene Duncan Stuart 1 dead by hi own hand, word to that effect reactrmg the city last evejilng from Ager, Cat., The brief message conveying the shocking intelligence stated nothing beyond the bare fact that the unfortunate man had committed suicide, nothing being lug off. Mr. Stuart had been ab sent from the city for about 10 day and to the public bis exact wheareabouts have not been clear, though It was gen erally known that he dad gone to Cal ifornia. The news of his death proved a great shock to his frlendls. Mrs. Stuart who I In the city, is prostrated with grief. D. M. Stuart, brother of Duncan, will leave this morning for Ager and the body will be brought to Astoria for InUrment. Up to the time of his departure from this city Mr, Stuart has been In the em traffic de ploy of Samuel Elmore, representing th traffic department. 'Previous to his taking a iiosltlon with Mr. Elmore he served as accountant In the Astoria National Bank, and when Case' bank was Jolng business held a position In that institution. He was deputy sher iff under Jack Williams when that pop ular official was so foully murdered by the Seaside bandit. There was talk nt that time of appointing him to the vacancy and he retired from the office when Thomas Llnville was made sheriff A number of years ago be was married tn Miss flattie Ralston of this city. Duncan Stuart wa strictly honorable in all his business dealings and his em ployers speak In the highest terms of the proficiency, of his work. He was ap preciated and liked by all who knew him. It is supi&eed that he ended his J! re during a moment of great despond ency. He was between 35 and 40 years of age and Is a native of Pipestone, Wis He was mmber it the Woodmen of the World.' the I. O. O. F. and the A. O. U. W. and Is now In the hands of private In dividual. Development should be al lowed to proceed In these districts unlm pali-ed. The timber should be market ed and such of the lands as are fit should be cleared and be devoted to Agriculture, etc. What good can come from enclosing all the Intervening lauds In a Forest Reserve Is not apparent. They should be allowed to be taken up and thus asulst in the development of the lands now owned.'" - IRRIGATION "TheOregon delegation expects to urge It upon the Geological Survey that Ir rigation works be begun at once In Ore gon under .he national Irrigation law. This Is a matter of greatest concern to this state. Oregon has three mil lion acres of available irrigable arid land. Under the law Oregon has con tributed more money to the fund than any oth ;r state In the union. In round numbers three million dollars during the past two years. Under the law It la practically optional with he Geolog ical survey where his money Is spent. There Is no reason why Oregon,' having especially during the first 10 years, contributed the greatest proportional amount, should not be among the states receiving the first benefits and we ex pect to Insist upon such action by ev ery means In our power." SENATOR MITCHELL SPEAKS Senator Mitchell In an interview with Fred .Wi Mellls, the mining man of Baker City, said In, Portland a few days ago that he would use his beet en deavors to Induct the government to leave out of the forest reserves the best part of the mineral lands Included. Senator Mitchell elao stated that he understood, that without a single ex ception, every mining man affected by the reserves, was bitterly opposed to covering mineral land with such re strictions, and he did not think that the government would act arbitrarily In view of his strenuous opposition MARRIAGE LICENSE GRANTED First clttxen papers were granted yes terday to Demetrlous M.

The local Oreeks are Interested In the outcome of the trip recently under taken by two of their countrymen, Nick George and Nick Geurgus, who are sup posed to be somewhere on the Pacific at the present time en route for San Francisco in fish boats. A distance of over 700 mile In an open boat on an open sea I a perilous undertaking un der any condltlons.but when clrcumstan ces of the present case are taken Into consideration the Increased danger is at once apparent. About IS year ago a company of fishermen sucesefully made the trip to the Bay City, but then each boat contained more than one man. This gave an opportunity for the crew to run shifts, thereby allowing the men to obtain necessary rest. On the arrival of the boat at San Francic co, the men were made much of. They old their cooking utensils and other small articles used on the trip at a good figure. . George and Geurgus are courting every posrble danger and if the men reach San Francisco safely they will be the sensation of the hour. They are young and strong and are known to be reckless. It Is said that they started off on their long voyage in a buff because the steamer did not find It convenient bo ship their boats.

WILL CLEAR FOR TRAFFIC S SUPERVISOR OF DISTRICT NO. 6 INSTRUC TED TO PUT FORCE OF MEN AT WORK ON UNDERBRUSH Following out the Instructions given him at the last session of the county ommlssloners, Roadmaster Frye haa detailed Andrew Johnson road supervisor of district No. 6, to employ a force of men on the old falls road for the purpose of clearing away the underbrush and In other ways to make the highway passable. The work will begin next week. Aside from clearing away oil obstacles to traffic- a more suitable grade will be established than the one now In use. The objec tions the present grade Is that It is In places entirely too steep for any prac tical use and the entire route will be gonaovar for the purpose of making a more gradual slope instead of having, as at present, abrupt Inclines at Inter vals. The road will simply be made wide enough to , admit of ordinary traffic. The distance between Youngs river falls and Olney ii a little less than two miles, so It will be some time be fore the proposed Improvements are fully effected. . ; SALE OF vSHEET m PILLOW 81x90 Best Muslin Sheets at -3-4 sizejiest Muslin Sheets at 42x36 Pillow Slips at - - -45x36 Pillow Slips at - - -These aare made from the 60c 50c 10 c 10c best Lonsdale and Androsscoggin Muslin.
