The heavy rains of late are creating
havoc' with the late improvements to
Birch street between Fifty-first and
Flfty-saeond streets. Superintendent
Kearney has a force of men employed
in repairing the damage done. iThe
same thing has occurred before and
wll lllkely happen again. The Im
provement is in the nature of a till

creates a volume of water that knocks
things awry.
The council last night adopted a res
olution calling upon the public library
to present to the council a list of the
papers and periodicals taken by that
Institution. The resolution specifies
that the list be presented so' that the
council may make such recommenda
tions as it ees fit as to other books
and papers. Mr. Burns, father of the
resolution, said he wanted to know Just
what could be found at the library, and
thought the resolution the best means
of securing the information.

The Christmas day game between
the Commercial Club and Cehemawa
football teams will be the best i-ver
played in this city, and there promises
to be record-breaking attendance. The
Indians met Multnomah last Saturday
and were defeated 15-5. Charles H.
Abereromble and Charles Stockton, of
the Commercial team,, saw the game,
which was characterized by consider
able dirty work The local players say
they believe Commercial Iwlll have no
trouble in defeating the Indians, who
gave Multnomah a close rub. The
Christmas game will give football en
thusiasts a line on the respective
strength of the Commercial and Mult
nomah teams, and, should Astoria win,
the state championship will not rest
between the teams. It is possible
Commercial and Multnomah will come
together this season in Portland.
Leander Lebeck ,the contractor, has
two boys that are being brought up
in the right way. They have been
endeavoring this year ,to make money
for the purchase of Christmas pres
ents, prefering to make It rather than
to have it given them. Accordingly
they asked their father If they could
w11 some iron from a scrap pile In
the possession of the : contractor, re
ceiving an affirmative reply proceed
ed to select a lot o fbolts, etc. Then
came the question of finding a market
In this they were assisted by their
father, who proceeded to the black
smith shop of Andrew? Asp and asked
If there wai; a mantel mere iur wu
lorn. Mr. Asp offered two cents a
pound' for It.' i A wagon, was procured
and a load of Iron taken to the shop,
where the! two young financiers were
each given a check for seven dollars,
or thereabouts. Then they were taken
to the Astoria National Bank where
Mr. Asp does his banking, and after
endorsing (heir checks, were given the
amounts in silver. As they wended
their way; homeward to report suc
Ces to thsjlr mother, It would have
been difficult to have found happier
children anywhere.

The tickets for the entertainment at
Fisher's' Opera house this evening un
der the auspices of the Convent of the
Holy Names were selling rapidly today,
and the Indications are good for a well
filled house. Astorians are fortunate
when they patronize an entertainment
given by home talent, and there is no
lack of enthusiasm among them when
a call is made to assist at an enter
tainment of either a musical or literary
nature; and especially Is true with ref
erence to enteralnments given under
thtj auspices of the Convent of the Holy
Names. They are always of a high
class in point of artistic merit, and
every audience that the pupils of the
institution have entertained so far has
gone away delighted. That to be giv
en this evening will not be any ex
ception to the rule.
A letter was recefved by Master Fish
Warden Van Dusen today from Deputy
Warden' Webster, who is doing the
Washington state hatcheries.' Mr:
Webster gives "probable outcomes"
that vary somewhat from figures based
on last year's previously given. He
gives Kalama 6,128,000 (chlnook), Wind
River 2,490,000 (chlnook), Wenatchee,
240,000 chlnooks and 2,680,000 silver-
sides, Methow 1,260,000 (silversldes) .
The letter explains that eggs taken at
Wenatchee and Methow other than
chlnook are sUverslde, none of them
being either sockeye or blueback. The
output for Chinook river for this seas
on is known to be less than 2,000,000.
In early estimates the Chinook, We
natchee and Methow hatcheries were;
given at 12,000,000. This error gave
to the state nearly 6,000,000 more eggs
than present conditions Indicate as be
ing the real result.
The couty court of Columbia County
has just completed the purchase of a
rock crusher and traction . engine for
use on the county roads. The cost of
the plant aggregates about $3000, and
It Is planned to make some extensive
road Improvements In Columbia coun
ty during the coming year. Clatakanle
road district is the first In the county
to levy a special tax under the new
law. Clatskanle's portion of the coun
ty road fund had all been expended,
and sohi'e of the thoroughfares were
almost ImpassableRoad Supervisor E.
S. Bryant called a meeting to vote a
tax, and about 60 voters were pres
ent Saturday night. The proposition
to levy a 9-mlll tax carried by- a
good majority. The Rainier road dis
trict held a meeting, but the proposal
to levy a 10-mIll tax was voted down.
It Is not likely that any more road
districts will vote special taxes this
year, but will depend on the county
court making sufficient levy to answer
all purposes.
The Ilwaco football players are not
very well pleased over the refusal of
the Astoria men to give them a return
match, and they have organized an as
soclation team which will play Its first
match on Sunday next against a picked
team from Fossil, Condon, Heppner
and other eastern Oregon towns. The
men who are to be pitted against the
Ilwacos are all old country players of
experience, and, as Ilwaco has at least
eight or nine first class association
men, including 'Jack, Wilson, one. of
the best captains and .coaches that
ever handled a team at the association
garde, ,the' coming corteBt should be a
good one. Referring to the refusal of
the Astorians to give them a return
match, one of the Ilwaco men says:
"Considering, that. In order to avoid
disappointing the Astorians we played
with four of the team missing, their
places' being supplied by 'kids,' the
deal was a raw one, but we will not
complain. We were willing that a re
turn match should be played either on
our side of the river or at Asorla, all
we wanted being; the opportunity to
show that' we could do better than we
did with a- partial team, and think that
we were entitled to that courtesy."
First citizenship papers were grant
