According to the state ment made yesterday, the discovery is an important one, several large pieces of fine cool having been uncovered by workmen. Several years ago an ex pert who made an examination of the property reported that the conditions were very favorable for coal and oil on this tract, and It has long been be lieved in Astoria that some day coal in paying quantities would be found there. It is understood the owners of the land will take steps to determine the extent of the deposit Some of the chunks found are said to weigh from 60 to 70 pounds. - The carpenters' union has Indorsed the candidacy of Charles G.

The train was made up six coaches and about 400 persons were aboard them. The weather was fine, but the crowd waa hardly a profitable on for the Seaside beneficiaries. The baseball game between the War- renton and Eagles' teams, Sunday, re suited in the defeat of the Eagles. Up to the seventh Inning a fairly good quality of ball was put up, but after that the visitors hod things all their own way. The score was 14-7. An ordinance granting to member of the fire department a leave of ab sence Of 10 days a year waa Introduced 'at last night's meeting of the council. Once before an ordinance of this kind was offered, but it had overlooked the engineers. Mr. Lelnenweber sold the employes of the fire department hod been talking of demanding more pay and that the committee on fire and water had offered them the leave of absence In lieu of increased salaries. Mr. 'Belland did not like the bill, par ticularly in view of the fact that the general tendency of the times was to reduction of wages. Mr. Lelnenweber said the men worked 24 hours a day and believed they were entitled to an annual vacation at the expense of the taxpayers. The bill went over. It Is pretty generally agreed by per sons who ought to know that there are fully 2000 voters In the city at the present time, but not one-half of that number bus yet been registered. Not in years has there been such marked apathy. Voters who do not register before the books are closed on the night of May 18 are going to have lots of trouble on election day, for they will be required to swear In their votes twice once for the county and state and once for the presidential election. As the formality of swearing in a vote will require much time, 4t is not easy to understand why voters do npt regis ter now, especially as it takes but few minutes time. The registrations to date are as follows in the various city precincts: No. 1. 118; No. 2, 146; No. 3, 165; No. 4, 173; No. 5. 182; No. 6,' 107; No. 7, DO. A food thief visited the home of Chasles Proske Sunday morning be tween the hours of 6 and 7 and car' rled oft a loin of mutton Intended to occupy a prominent place on the din ner table. The thief likewise helped himself to several other articles of food which hod been left in a cup bourd at the rear of the residence, 528 Exchange street, taking a dish filled with egsa, half a roll of butter, a large piece of cheese, a tin of cream and linen cloth which had been hung on the line to dry. The cloth was prob ably used to wrap up the articles stol en. Before departing from the house the thief drank his fill from a milk can which had been filled a short tame be fore. The case was reported to the police, but it Is unlikely the thief will be caught Some time ago numerous predatlons of the kind were report ed, but no arrests were made.

Not long since the coun ty notified the city to get its engine house off the court house block, and the city Is going to move. When the engine house was built there the school board erected It, with the understand lng that it would be permitted to use the brick engine house at Fourth and Astor streets for a school house, the rental to be 31 a -year. Now the city doesn't care to go to any expense in removing its engine house, but wants the school board to bear the cost Mr. Hansen, chairman of the public prop erty committee, has discovered that the school board has never paid the city' the 31 a year which the original lease called for and therefore haa vio lated the -erms of the agreement So the committee has recommended to the council that the board be notified that It must provide a place for the engine house and bear the cost of rer moving it or else the city will demand back the brick building. The auditor has been instructed to file notice on the board. The city owns some prop erty suitable for an engine house site, but if private property 4s used the school board must bear the cost The council believes It haa the school dis trict "dead to rights.' and all because the board did not come through with that measely. dollar a year.
