Teaterday waa a genuine spring: day and the aun Rhone glortoualy. It waa the flnit real fine day that Aatoflan have enjoyed for a long time, and aa a reault of the change In the weather the streets were crowded. Frank Kankonan, who left with hla family for a European trip laat fall, 1 expected to arrive home thla week to reaume hi dutlee aa auperintendent of the Co-operative cannery, Mr. Kan konan la paetor of the Flnnlah church. While away he traveled through Nor way, Sweden and Finland. License to wed waa yesterday iatrued by County Clerk Clinton to W. W. Newman and Mlae Bertha M.

The steamer Despatch waa due at Port Orford yesterday to make an at tempt to aave the machinery and rig ging; of the wrecked ateamer Fulton. The vessel waa pounded badly on the rocks, and, while there la no hope of saving the hull, It Is befleved no diffi culty will be experienced in removing the machinery. The Despatch will ar rive at Astoria today or tomorrow. The highly commendable Industry, thrift and public spirit shown by the citizens of West Astoria is a matter of much remark. A larger number of neat homes have been built In that por tlon of the city during the last few years than In any other. Seen from the decks of vessels coming up the harbor the west end presents a very creditable appearance, Indicating a prosperous and progressive citizenship.

Hla wife had such an unusual case of stomach and liver trouble, physicians could not help her. He thought of and tried Dr. King's New Life Pills and she got relief at once and woa finally cured. Only 25c at Charles Rogers' drug store. v March established another record In the matter of police court fines and forfeitures and sundry license receipts. The police court receipts aggregated $910, which was far In excess of the receipts for the same month of any other year In the history of the. de partment. Last year the receipts were $719, while for the previous year they totaled $495. The police made 55 ar rests during the month. Chief Hallock was unable yesterday to give the Bun dry license receipts, but said they would surpass those of any other first quarter In the history of the city. mined upon, to go Into effect today, The agreement between tbe various lines waa the outcome of a conference held with the O. R. N. officials. It waa decided to abolish the round-trip rate on river and rail line. The par tie to the agreement were primarily the O. R. A N. Co. and the Vancouver Transportation Company, but all of the Independent 1 1 nee have agreed to maintain the new rate. Heretofore the single way rate by river haa been $1.60, while the round trip rate haa been $2.50. The rail rate one way baa been $3 and the round trip rate $3. Hereafter It will cost $3 to make the round trip by water and $4 by rail. It la said the local advance la merely the forerunner of a general advance on all Oregon rlvere. ; The cost of travel between Astoria and Portland haa been increased. At a meeting of the river lines held at Port land the Increase In fares was deter- ROBBED THE GRAVE. A 'startling Incident Is related by John Oliver of Philadelphia, aa fol lows: "1 woa In awful condition. My akin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back end sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physician had given me up. Then I waa advised to use, Electric Bitters; to my great Joy, tbe first bottle pi4e a, decided Im provement I contlnuerd their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of an other victim." No one ahould fall to try them. Only 50 centa, guaranteed, at Charles Rogers', druggist It pays to do business gener ously.

L McEwan, an Oregon plo- neer, dleJ lost night at the family res idence on Franklin avanue between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, at the advanced age of 74. For the post five months Mrs. McEwan had been a sufferer with dropsy and her death was not unexpected. The funedal ar rangements will be announced later. Mrs. McEwan was a native of Mani toba and with her husband crossed the plains in 184S. Her husband died In thla city about 15 years ago. he is survived by the following children: Mrs. Jessie Fray and Miss Minnie Mc Ewan, of Chicago; Mrs. Mary La riant x, of Orcaa Island, Wash.; Mrs. Muggle Thomas, of Stevenson county, Wash.; William McEwan, of Alaska; Logan McEwan, of Knappa, and Chaa. McEwan, of Astoria. To all of the pio neer residents of the city Mrs, Mc Ewan as well known and her death will be generally mourned. Sheriff Llnvllle again had It out with dissatisfied owners of timber land yes terday. Six of the Umber land com panies are opposed to paying their axes this year, alleging that they are excessively taxed, and yesterday their attorney tendered Sheriff Linvltle ap proximately 60 per cent of the amount of the taxes. The amounts tendered on behalf of the various firms were as follows: C.'H. Wheeler, $555.75; O. A. Rltan, $482.77; George L. Burrows and others, $078.57; the Whitney Company, $1471.80; Blodgett & Co., $2009.62; J. ET DuBois, $2415.65. The attorney ap peared at the sheriff's office with a sackful of shining $20 gold pieces, but the officials of the county were not to be tempted In this manner. The county court was In session during the after noon and the attorney presented his claims. He wanted the court to re duce the assessments, but this the court declined to do. After making for mal tender of the amount, the attor ney gave up the attempt and left for Portland. From his course It was evi dent legal action of some kind Is con templated by the remonstrating timber land owners. District Attorney Allen, who Is home from Hillsboro, where he attended the session of the circuit court says that he recently discovered the champion liar. The man in question woa tried at Hillsboro on a charge of burglary. He was not aware of the fact that Mr. Al len was a resident of Astoria, and his defense was therefore all the more In teresting. He said he had been all over the northwest looking for em ployment and in the course of his wan derings had stopped at Astoria. "But I could find no work anywhere," the fellow said. "In Astoria industry is paralysed; all the factorlea are shut down and fully 6000 men are out of work there. I visited all the mills and other concerns, but there were hun dreds of men for every Job. I tell you, it's a frlwht! Ever been at Astoria?" "Yes; I've been there," said Mr. Allen; "that's my home." The fellow opened his eyes In astonishment and for a few momenta regarded the district attor rey with some mlBgivlngs; but he soon regained hla erstwhile composure, and, having been "strung" by the state's legal representative, Insisted that his narrative waa correct in every detail. He will receive his mall at the peni tentiary for the next four years, ex clusive of the time allowance for good conduct TIT ' im "" if ff : ' "' rv ' J ' " ' I . r For you to call and see , our 10,000 display of , : Suits, Cloaks, Skirts, Jackets and Shirt Waists All THIS WEEK !
