HEILBORN 8, SON Astoria's Lemdinrf .Housc-furniher 1 Whlte'a Island ground of the company got 1700 pounds, which Is the largest haul thus far reported from any of the grounds. A brown drew-suli case containing clothing, etc., was taken by mistake from Flsture' wharf last Saturday. A suitable reward will be paid for Its return to the ofllce of The Astorlaa The Astoria Savings bank has sold to the Troy Laundry Company lot 1, block 43, McClure's Astoria.. The con slderatlon was $1000. The property ad joins the laundry building on the west. One of the contemporary poets asked: "Where are the bright girls of the past?" Our own observation Is that some of them are administering cautious doses of paragorlc to the bright girls of the future. Ex. For a lime charter rates showed an upward tendency, but another drop has taken place. The latest vessel to be engaged for loading on the Columbia, the French bark Turgot, will get only 15 shillings a ton, which is far below charters recently fixed. No action has yet been taken by the Commercial Club baseball players to organize the team. The club has plen ty of good material and there Is every reason to believe the sport would be well patronised if the club went into It this season. The East Astoria fire department was called out yesterday afternoon to extinguish a blaze on the roof of the residence of F. C. Reed, 1755 Franklin avenue. Neighbors who hastened to the soene carried out the furniture and other valuables. A few bucketfuls of water sufficed to put out the fire and the services of the firemen were not required. The damage was slight. F. R. Stokes, chairman of the Push Club committee appointed to canvass sentiment relative to the holding of the 10th annual regatta, has called a meeting of the preliminary committee for Monday night, at which time the plan of campaign will be decided upon The committee Is made up of hustlers and the Push Club looks for an early and comprehensive report Dr. Woods Hutchinson will arrive Ini the city today and tonight will deliver an address on health problems before the Woman's Club. As has heretofore been announced, this lecture wiU be delivered at Odd Fellows' hall and the public Is Invited to be present. No ad mission fee will be asked, but the ladles of the club will be quite well repaid if a large crowd is out to listen to the talk of this expert. Sealed proposals will be received at the office of the Lighthouse Engineer, Portland, Ore., until 12 o'clock m., May 2"s 1904, and then opened, for supply Ing and placing 2000 tons of stone rip rap around piling at Desdemona Sands Light Station, Oregon, In accordance with specifications, copies of which, with blank proposals and other infor mation, may be had upon application to Major W. C. Langrfttt, Corps of Engin eers, U. S. A., Engineer. An audience that completely filled Fishers' last evening enjoyed the com edy-drama, "The Village Belle." It was the best performance given during the week and the audience attested lis pleasure by tumultuous applause. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a matinee per formance will be given, the bill being the comedy-drama, 'For a Million." Tonight the company will conclude Its engagement with Dickens' story, en titled, "The Old Curiosity Shop." The Weldemann company has made many friends in Astoria and Its return will be awaited with pleasure. Yesterday's baseball game between the Eagles' nine and an agggreation of actors resulted In the decisive de feat of the home team. The Eagles had never played together and some of the men had never before donned the suits on a local field. The actors put up a rattling good game and after the Initial inning had things their own way In the first the actors started things by scoring four runs, and the Eagles retaliated by piling up three scores.. Then the actors settled down to ball playing, and when the ninth was finally played the score was 22 to 4. Tom Ross was the first umpire se lected. He lasted for two innings, Then Fred Brown took a shy at It, but resigned at the end of the fourth. The If you knew the facts about Schilling's Best, you wouldn't bother with anything else in those six lines at alL players select Roxy Oraham, the fa mous halfback of the Commercial foot ball eleven, and his work proved sat isfactory. The lineup of the Eagles' team was as follows: Pitcher, A. M. Welch; catcher, C. Hewitt; first base, F. Calmer; second base, C. Dawson; third base, W. Wroten; shortstop, W. A. Fry; left field, A. Porter; center field, C. Bay; right field, E. Ross. According to report, there is Indica tion of a legal contest between the Tallant-Orant Packing Company and the Ranborn-Cuttlng Company over a tract of seining ground adjoining what is generally known as the Spencer ground. It seems the first-named com pany made application for the land to the state board some time ago, but later the Banborn-Cuttlng Company filed a protest. The legal ground upon which the protest Is based was not learned. ,'. The value of the ground In dispute Is problematical, as It has only recently developed and has never been worked. In Us Account of the production by members of the Multnomah Aiiwleur Athletic Club of the opera "The Ameer," the Telegram says o an As toria boy's efforts: "Edwin llolon was the monumental individual hit of the evening as Constance and it was in the last, act, when he came out attired In a modish gown, of the low neck and no sleeve style, that he captured the house. To all appearances, he was a a real girl, and a pleasant one at that. He had the walk and the skirt lifting technique down to a fine point Hob- son even threw his voice Into the fal setto class with good effect, and all In all he was a thorough girl. 'Cupid Will Guide" was his best vocal contribution." P. W. Gillette, the well known pio neer of Portland, was yesterday ar rested for using abusive language. His case will be heard In a Portland court this morning. The aged pioneer was apprehended at the instance of Deputy City Engineer LIIlls, who had gone to Front and Thomas streets for the pur pose of investigating complaint made by Mr. Gillette against cross waiks under course of construction. 7J1H3' instructions In the matter aroused the ir of the pioneer and the deputy nil neer received a roasting that angered him enough to prompt him to have Mr. Gillette arrested. The pl'j-i.vir is 80 . years of age., but still lale ,ud hearty, and during his odd mommta figures out the exact location of Fort Artorla and other hWtorlc spots. C. H. Callender, manager of the mill at Knappton, came over yesterday and will leave this monrlng for Portland. Mr. Cullender stated last evening that his mill would probably be closed down until the 1st of September. The shut down, he says, Is due to the demoral ized condition of the lumber market, and, as lr.bor will be scarce until after the fishing season, he does not antic ipate a resumption of operations until September, except In the event of an unusually Improved market He has had more or less difficulty with new men since the commencement of the fishing season. The old hands know the condition of the market and appre ciate that they can not expect steady employment at this time. They therer fore take up with fishing, as Is usually the case. Mr. Callender thinks it would be a good plan for all of the mills to shut down for a few months, as the curtailed production of lumber would place the market back in Its normal condition. Something like 800 voters are run ning at large In the city with the weight of the great crime of negli gence bearing down upon them. They lock Just like good men, who have ob served the patriotic duty of register ing, but they are vastly different. It is now getting well along to the time when the books will be closed, and In the opinion of many only about half the total vote of the city is registered. At the close of business last night the registrations totaled S36 In the city, in the various precincts as follows: No. 1, 114; No. 2, 141; JNo. 8, 158; No. 4, 166; No. 5, 177; No. 6, 10J; No. 7, 87. Despite the fact that there has been a remarkable Increase in tho population of the city during the past two years and the further fact that the registrar tlon books have been open almost a month longer this year than two years ago, the registrations are 40 behind the regisratlons of 1902. The books will be open until the night of Monday, May 16, and there are. therefore, Just 14 days remaining in which voters may do their duty. As this Is presidential year, the city ought to poll almost 2000 votes, but the short legislation does not give evidence of any such show ing at this Ume. County Clerk Clinton yesterday is sued a marriage license to Clinton Cox, of Paclflo county, Wash, and Lottie Rude, of Clatsop county.
