March lived up to the proverb and
went out like a lamb. 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.

The Flnnlah aoclety of the city held

theae column.
The steamer Despatch waa due at

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.

The amount of the penalty on the pos

A THOUGHTFUL MAN.
M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind.,
knew what to do in the hour of need.
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

The cost of travel between Astoria
and Portland haa been increased. At a

Mrs. W. 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
