Deeds were filed for record yester.
day In the office of County Clerk Clin
ton by which the Astoria Company
secures possession of more than 1000
feet of water frontage at New Astoria.
The property was bonded recently to
E. 25. rerguson and II, B. Ferguson,
as trustees, and yesterday format
transfer was made to the Astoria. Com
pany, O. I. McUod, the agent for A.
B. Hammond arrived In the city on the
noon train and the deal 'waa closed
during the afternoon. The considera
tion Is 130.000.
The deeds show the sale to the Asto
ria Company of 600 feet of water front
age at Kindred I'ark for 111,000, and of
about 100 feet of water frontage at
New Astoria for 119,000. The Kindred
Park property was owned by B. C.
Kindred, while the ew Astoria front-
ago whs owned by M. J. Kinney. The
total amount, 130.000, was paid In cash
to the owners of the land and frontage,
Mr, Mcleod was seen yesterday by
an Aslorlan representative and asked
for a statement with reference to the
sale. Mr. McLeod said;
"The purchase of the property was
concluded this forenoon, and, so far as
I am able to mate at the present time,
nothing more Is Indicated than Is
shown by the deeds filed for record,"
Mr. Mcleod was aked whether or
not any Improvements were contem
plated on the West Side In the near
future, but sold he could not make a
satisfactory reply. As Is customary
with Mr. Hammond's agents, he very
courteously declined to make a full
Htntcmtjit regimllifr the matter, and
the efforts of a reporter to Induce him
to talk proved futile, except for a
statement of the transfer and the con
sideration Involved. Mr. MiLeod left
the city on t lie night train for Port.
land.
The deal clonal yesterday gives Mr.
Hammond and his associates In the
Astoria Company control of the water
front from Hklpanon to the govern
ment reservation at Fort Stevens, ex
cept for a few tracts near Flavel and
Wurrenton, and it Is understood that
he Is intirested In the property here
except!. It has long been supposed
that Mr. Hammond would put up a
big mill on the West Side when he suc
ceeded In acquiring the frontage trans
ferred yesterday, and that the con
struction of the mill would result In
extension of the A. & C. line down-the
const to Tillamook: Extension of the
rond Is, of course, Inevitable, but just
when tho Improvement will be made Is
a question.

"In Convict Stripes," the great comic

play so pure, so natural, that it is life
as life Is; a chord of nature vibrating
to the touch of a master hand. The
scenery and effect are all new and tak
en from photographs of the exact lo
cations in South Carolina near Charles
ton. Lovers pf comedy drama are sure
to find much to praise In "In Convict

elder parent will doubtless be on hand

Things politically are warming up
at Seaside, a second, ticket having been
put In the field. Last evening the in
dependents met In convention. C. J.
Curtis was made chairman and J. E.
Alcras served aa secretary. The ticket
united upon Is as follows: M. J. Young
ior mayor; Philip Condlt for recorder;
Fred Moore for treasurer; J, E. Al-
cras (two years), Thomas Mitchell
(two years), Martin Anderson, William
Burke for councllmen. Mr. Moore be
ing the nominee for both parties, cit
izens, and Independents, his election to
the office of treasurer Is aforegone
conclusion, but with the others It ap
pears that public, opinion Is pretty even
ly divided, so the result can only be
told at the polls.
John Wilson, the only Astoria man
"i board the III fated schooner Charlei
Neleon, at the time she waa wrecked,
has arrived n the city from San Fran
cisco and is now with his family at his
home in the west end. Mr. Wilson
suffered greatly from the fearful strain
he whs compelled to undergo and Is at
present under a doctor's' care. He
shipped as olleit on theNelson from tnlg
port and was at sea only three days
when he waa obliged to take to ea in
an open boat. The salvation of the
crew was due, Mr. Wilson aays, to the
coolneas and masterful manner In
which Captain Gunderson handled the
situation. There was no excitement
and orders were promptly obeyed.
When the word was given out to leave
the vessel and take to the boats Mr.
Wilson was in the engine room and had
barely tltnc to get away, so that he
was deprived of the opportunity to
clothe himself proporly,
"For two nlghta and a day we were
it the mercy of the open sea," said
the oiler, "Many of the men, Includ
ing myself, became delirious with ex
citement and fatigue. When in my
rltfht senses I heard the poor fellows
about me making all sorts of insane
co-nments, then things would grow
nla'.k to me :.nd doubtless I was simi
larly affected. During our delirium
tne impression prevailed that there
were tree about us, and at times it
seemed as though we. were traveling
through a forest. There were 18 of us
In our boat; the other carried 17 men.
The boats were smaller than an ordi
nary fish boat so they were crowded
to their fullest capacity. Some of the
men w'ere more fortunately clad than
the others, and being thus better pro
tected were able to man the boat and
keep things right side up. When res
cued by the tug Sea Rover we were
all but frantic."
Mr. Wilson has lived In Astoria for
a number of years. Lost summer he
was employed at San Francisco on a
tug, but previous to that held a po
sition on the tug Escort when it plied
at this port. He Is now In a state of
very bad health and will take a com
plete rest until fully recoverea.
THE RED MEN'S MASK BALL
Elaborate Function Proved En
joyable All Through.
The Red Mm's masquerade at Foard
& Stokes' hall last night (and this
morning) was a scene of unalloyed
pleasure from start to finish. There
were many handsome costumes in evi
dence, but lack of space forbids a de
tailed description of these. Those in
attendance will remember the event
for a long time, and cherish the "In
dians" in their memory as princely
hosts.
Following were the prlxe winners:
Best dressed lady, Mrs. Stelnei; sec
ond best dressed lady, Miss Seafeldt;

The Commercial Club foqtball team
went to Vancouver, Wn.,last night, and
today is the day of the big game with
the soldiers. That the contest will be
a spirited one there la no doubt, but to
those who are acquainted with the
good and bad points of the respective
teams there is but little doubt that It
will terminate favorably to the Asto-
r!ans. Last year the local men beat
the soldiers, the score being 21 to 0, and
the team now is reported stronger than
a year ago while the Vancouver team
is believed to be weaker. The game to
day will be the last one of Importance
that the Commercials will engage In
this season and the outcome will be
awaited with Interest.
