HEILBORN SON Astoria's Leading House-furnishers The forger who secured for himself the sum of $23.10 from various persons with an Inclination to cash checks Is still enjoying his liberty, and there Is little prospect that he will ever be cap tured. By the time the police received notlflcation'of the forger's coup he had departed from Astoria. Cashier Pat ton, of the Astoria Savings bank, said yesterday one additional souvenir had come In at the bank, ad it is believed other victims are holding, out their worthless checks rather than confess that they wers taken in. The visit of the forger will render forgery unpror (table for about four or Ave months to icome. An Interesting meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce waa held last even ing, at which the navigation committee reported upon the proposal for the es tablishment of a government cable to connect Tillamook rock lighthouse with the mainland. The committee has taken up the matter with the de partment a'nd pointed out the neces sity for the establishment of this ca ble. In substantiation of its statement the committee called attention to the recent disasters to the steamers Queen and Grace Dollar, both of which could easily have been rendered assistance were the rock connected by cable with the mainland. Mr, Dyer reported that he had communicated with tht Gray tine of steamers with j-eference to the suggestion that Astoria be made .a port of call. The head office has re plied to Mr. Dyer's letter, saying th matter would be given careful consid eration. The chamber adopted a res olution asking Mr, Hammond to extend a spur Into Oceanvlew cemetery. W. F. Grondahl, an assistant of Architect Lazarus, arrived in the city yesterday and began the work of test ing the ground upon which Clatsop's new co-irt house Is to stand. The work will require a few days' time. Mr, Orondahl will submit his report to the architect and the character of the pre liminary Improvement will then be de termined upon. Judge Trenchard said yesterday the court would consider It self fortunate If the work of building the court house could be begun by the 1st of June. However, there Is to be no unnecessary delay, and If the start can be made any sooner the court will be orrtspondlngly happy. This being holy week, there will be dally morning and evening prayer at Grace church, at 9:30 and 7:30 respec tively, and on Thursday evening, at Holy Innocents' chapel. East Astoria, at 7:30. On Good Friday, In addition to these services, the three hours' pas-, slon will be commemorated from 12 to 3, with meditations on the seven words from the cross. Rev. Mr. Short, the pastor, says that the community is welcome at any or all of these services and adds that persons not able to stay through all the three nours'-servlc on Good Friday are requested to enter or retire during the hymns, and not dur ing the prayers or addresses. What is believed to be the preliml nary steps toward tho Improvement and rehabltatlon of Fort Canby Is an order . Just received from department headquarters at Vancouver Barracks, directing the transfer of the thirty third coast artillery from Fort Colum bia. While the ostensible reason for th transfer is that better facilities for tho annual rifle target practice are to be h:id at Fort Canby, an unusual stir In army circles leads to the conces sion that something out of the ord- nary Is contemplated by the depart ment. The removal of the company will tnke place within the next few wceM, and 109 privates and 12 com- Flssloned officers will be Included In the transfer. , A corporal guard will remain at Fort Columbia, but It Is ex pected that another company will be assigned to the fortress, after Thirty-third vacates.

The committee on wharves and wat- erfrontage of the council, by its chair man. Councilman Lebeck, yesterday filed a most Important report for pres entation at the next meeting of the council. The committee was given uie letter of the committee of ten for con sideration and report, and Mr. Lebeck has recommended that the council or der the streets in the sea wall district Oiled, the city to pay one-third of the cost of the work. The only proviso Is that the other interested property owners Join in the mivement The re port is equivalent to a declaration that the city bear the cost of filling in the street crossings. Several members of the council were seen and said Mr. Le beck's report met with their approval. From the sentiment expressed to a re porter yesterday by councllmen it is evident the municipal guardians will, give their approval to the proposal on foot for the betterment of the city's front. Chairman Parker, of the com mlttee of ten, said the report filed by Councilman Lebeck, if adopted by the council, would be the most Important assistance to the sea wall project that had yet materialized. , Five boys were yesterday arrested on complaint of Wing Lol. a Chinese vegetable vender, for assault, and the Justice's court trlai was listened to wHh much Interest by a large dele gation of sympathetic boys and lndig nant Mongolians. The boys arrested were Will Morton, Andrew Malagam- ba, Chester Gustln, Axel Olsen and Frank Murcurrlo. It appears that the Gustln and Olsen boys were to blame, foV the trouble, the former having be gun the assault on the Chinese by throwing sticks at him. The Gustln lad hurled one stick that struck the Chinaman on the face and badly hurt him. The other boys Intervened when the Celestial took after an Innocent little fellow vAo had been watching the fun. The boys were unusually manly about the matter and freely ac knowledged their complicity in the af fair. Justice Goodman found them guilty,' but suspended sentence during good behavior. Both JusUce Goodman and Deputy District Attorney Eakin lectured the lads on the impropriety of assaulting Chinese, and assured them the authorities would deal severely with them the next time they were ar rested. .
