PAGE EIQHT. TIIE MORNING ASTORIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1901. URGES HIM TO ACCEPT Harrison L Hamblet Popular Choice for Chairman of This Year's Regatta Committee. FINANCES ABOUT ARRANGED Soliciting: Committee Will Be Able to Submit Final Report to Push Club In Few Days. Herman "Wise, one of the members of the regatta finance committee, went to Portland last evening to hold conference with Harrison Lyon Hamb let, who la the man everybody wants to, take hold of the 10th annual re ratta, or "regatter," as Mr. Hamblet calls It Mr, Wise expects to be home tonight with a reply from Mr. Hamb let that will cheer the hearts of Asto- rlans. When Mr. Hamblet was in the city a short time ago he was asked to ac cept the chairmanship of the commit tee, being given to understand he would be remunerated for his work. "Well, you'll not pay me,- declared the old-time regatta hustler. "If I can find time to take hold of the re gatta, you may rest assured I will do ao, and freely and gladly. Astoria has been mighty good to me, and any time I have an opportunity to show my ap preciation you can bet I am going to do so. It's purely a question of my ability, gentlemen." concluded Mr. Hamblet Mr. Wise will undertake to demon strate to Mr. Hamblet that he (the aforesaid Hamblet) has deadoodles of time. Mr. Wise will doubtless con vince Mr. Hamblet that nothing stands In the way of his accepting the chair manship, for he has some splendid argument this year a bulging sack of SO-dolIar gold pieces and enough local enthusiasm to carry the carnival to a most successful termination. The finance committee has not yet finished Its work. Several firms have not yet been called upon and the trans portation companies are' still on the ernoon and another Monday after noon. 1 The soldiers' team Is regarded as one of the strongest In this part of the country. Among the large number of men at Vancouver there are many good ball players. And they have lots of time for practice. The Commercials areofully alive to the fact that they are going against a strong aggregation and Captain Roxy Graham is getting his men out for preliminary work. Ross will pitch the two games for Astoria, with Morton at the other end. This man Ross Is hard to hit and the sol diers will have no easy time with htm. With a remarkably active infield and outfielders who thoroughly understand the game. Commercial will be in posi tion to show the visitors some speed. The two games ought to be the best ever played here, and large Sunday and Memorial day crowds will doubt less be out Yesterday the A. A C. ball players Issued a challenge to the employes of the O. It & N. Co. The challenge is straight from the shoulder, and fol lows: "The aggregation of baseball talent for which the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company's general fn ces are noteworthy has thrown down the gauntlet and Is ready to meet all comers in the railroad class lrrespeot Ive of weight reltglon or politics. This dent Is particularly addressed to the employes of the O. R. A N. Cc. whom the A. & C. talent would like to wipe off the baseball map."

COMMUNITY IS BUFFALOED. absent list However, the committee will finish during the week, except per haps with the transportation lines, which are always slow. In view of the Immense increase in traffic, the com mittee feels .the rail and river lines should contribute liberally. Since the formation of the Freight Agents' Asso ciation the various lines have been working in the utmost harmony, and Grays River Lad Has the Entire Town Well Bluffed Out The usually peaceful community of Grays River is very much excited over the, land cotnest between W. N. Mes- erve and a young man named Jim Stewart and what has transpired since the hearing at the Vancouver land office. Meserve took up the land as a timber claim, but Stewart contested. on the ground that it was better adapt ed to agricultural pursuits. Meserve showed that the land was of soapstone formation and timber land in the strictest sense of the word, and before the land office officials made the best showing, although final decision must be handed down from the Washington office. Among those who went to Vancouver to swear that the land was not fit for agricultural purposes was an old gen- The new law fixing the fire limits of tle city, providing for the number and slxe of entrances and exits to buildings, and requiring all intending builders to secure permits went Into effect yesterday, when Mayor Supre nant attached his signature to the document The new law was passed after long discussion and is believed by members of the council to be about as nearly perfect as local conditions will permit It is the first ordinance of the scope ever passed In Astoria. The new bill Is' aimed to prevent disaster from fire and will necessitate alteration of several of the larger buildings of the city. Some of the halls are regarded as .veritable fire traps, and law aims to require the own' era to rearrange them so as to pro vide for the safety of persons who as semble to attend lodge or other meet ings. There are two three-story struc tures which must be altered under the terms of the bill, and it is probable the owners will be Immediately notified to make the necessary changes. Fire escapes must be Installed on some of the structures, and the size of the exits enlarged. The new fire limits do not vary greatly from those heretofore defined. Within this district which includes practically all of that portion of the city lying north of Exchange street between Sixth and Seventeenth, bulld- materlal and exhibits that will be on display. The natural shrubbery and the lawns receive much attention thes hot days, for constant streams from man sprlnk lers moisten the earth so that the sun will not wither the grass and kill It. Much' of the seed was sown during the past month, and all the tender blades have to be protected. The lawns now extend well over the western end of the grounds down to the lake shore and are very pleasing to the eye. A number of new paths are In course of construction, most of which are of slag. material that so fur has proved most serviceable. weed .ore An OPPORTUNITY of a Life-time The following Telegram explains itsolf: RAN AWAY, IN BALL SUIT. tleman named Lawrence. When the witnesses arrived home alst Saturday young Stewart, who has Just attained his majority, and who Is quite capable physically, deliberately struck down Mr. Lawrence, who Is past 60.

Frank Davis, resident of Turner, and a deputy sheriff of Linn county are In Portland today searching for the girl and Vance Nodlne, who Is alleged to have ac companled her In her flight The searchers struck the trail of the fleeing couple shortly after their sen. satlonnl elopement and followed them to the foothills of the Santlam coun try, but there their trail was lost It Is believed that they took the train and came to Portland, and today they are being searched for In this city. Nodlne Is a married man, and left a family at Tillamook when he started forth to see the world In company with a 1 (-year-old girl, whose trousseau consisted of a pair of knee trousers and other baseball regalia. The miss ing girl Is the daughter of John An- derson, section foreman of Turner.! Speaking of the elopement, Mr. Davis said: "Nodlne is a married man, and the girl he enticed away U a daughter of John Anderson, a section boss In Tur ner.

However, the transportation people have always been liberal and can be relied upon to in crease their contributions as the other bulsness itnerests of the city have done. , Members of the finance committee say there will be available for the regatta a total of about $9000. This sum will greatly exceed any that has heretofore been subscribed for the carnival. It is hoped the managing committee will be selected at once, so as to give the members as much time as possible to arrange the program and advertise the event For this reason Mr. Wise has made his Portland trip, and the finance committee will be able to sub- mit an early report to the Push Club.

The advice was, fortunately, that he had wrought enough damage, and he contented him self with ordering the old-timers away from the landing, where the disgrace ful incident was enacted. There are no Justices of the peace in the Grays River country, but the victims of the brutal assault contem plated causing Stewart's arrest in one of the higher state court. However, they are fearful that such action will only net for them another beating, and, therefore, proceedings will not be in stituted.
