Frank Coulter, secretary of the Pil lar Rock baseball team, writes that the team defeated the Charleston nine last Sunday by a score of 29 to 18.

Mr. Coulter statea that the Pillar Rock ag gregation Is a strong one and hopes to meet the Astoria Commercials be fore the season closes.

There Is more trouble brewing in troublous Third ward. When Bond street waa Improved in the east end in the vicinity of Forty-fourth street a considerable portion of the town was taken In to help pay for the Improve ment Now other streets are being im proved there and the aame rule la being observed. One man, Fred Llndstrom, la about to be assessed for Ave sepa rate Improvements, and he haa protes ted. The case in question haa been re ferred to tho atreet committee and city attorney, and Mr. Llndstrom'a assess ment will be made llghlt Just what will be done when other similar pro testa are filed la a matter for future consideration. At the meeting of tbe council Tuei day nlaht, Councilman Burns asked whether or not there was an ordinance prohibiting teamatera from driving acroaa sldewalka. He related that some careless teamster had driven his wagon over a cement sidewalk on Fif teenth street before the cement bad hardened, and that com plain ta were frequently filed by contractors whose work had been damaged In this man ner. He believed aome atepa should b taken to prevent the practice. Such persons are liable to arrest for ma licious destruction of property, and it is not Improbable an example will be made If mora car Is not observed by teamatera. Councilman Robinson call ed attention to 'the general violation of tho city law which prohibits "trail ers' ta wagons. Ha said that several children had been killed by trailers, and told of an Incident that came un der bis own observation on- Exchange street a few days ago. A wagon was driven along tba street with a trailer behind, and a child was perched on the tongue of tha trailer. Tbe little one fll and bad an almost miraculous escape from death. Members of the council will watch for violations of tba law covering the matter and ar rests will follow If teamsters do not observe its terms. The Astorian is In receipt of a let ter from James B. Stewart of Grays River, Wash, concerning whose brutal attack upon two elderly men a state ment recently appeared In these col umns. Stewart's letter is very long and relates the events that transpired In the land contest leading up to the assautt The public is not Interested In this feature of the matter. Stew art expressea the conviction that The Aatorlan's Informant was W. N. Me serve, but in this be is mistaken. The story of the assault was related by a resident of Portland who was pres ent when young Stewart struck down Messrs. Lawrence and Ahlberg, both old men, and Mr. Meserve was In no way responsible for tbe publication of tbe statement Stewart boasts In his letter that he struck the two old gen tlemen, both of whom, according to his admission, were rendered unconscious. From his letter It Is evident that tbe gentleman who acquainted Tbe Asto rian with the facta In tbe matter was not in error when he referred to the young" man as a brute Stewart says that after he bad struck down Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Ahlberg rushed at bun, but the gentleman who related the facts to The Astorian stated that Mr. Ahlberg bed merely gone to the pros trate old man to pick him up. Both from the original statement and from young Stewart's letter It is plain that the assault was wholly unprovoked. and the young fellow ahould be thor oughly ashamed of himself for his brutal assault upon the two old men. The report of Fish Warden Van Dusen for the month of May deals with the transplanting of eastern oys ters at Yaqulna Bay, Ore. The war den expresses the conviction that the transplanted oysters will thrive there equally as well as the Toke Point oys ters have thrived at Wlllnpa bay, and he looks for a large and profitable in dustry. As to the Sluslaw river hatch ery, the warden bos determined to reverse conditions next season and carry on operations on tbe Lake creek fork Instead of on the main river. Freshets hindered operations on the main stream, and the work there was not very successful. The report shows the receipts of the office for May to have been $1147.50, and the expendi tures to have been $372.90. GUlnet licenses were issued to 133 persons. Notice to Water Consumers. : Friday, June 10, is the last day on which to pay water rates to avoid the penalty charged all delinquents. The county court yesterday decided to construct the court house foundation by day labor. Architects Luarua and Grondahl were in the city to attend the adjourned session of the court. and atated that the $20,000 bids sub mitted previously by the contractors were excessive. They stated that the foundation could be Installed for not to exceed $12,000, and guaranteed to do the work for that sum or less. The court accepted the proposal, and the architects will start at once upon the work. Just how much less than $12, 000 the foundation will cost the county can not be atated, but the architects will da the work as cheaply aa possi the same character of work that the contractors recently bid upon. The court yesterday advertised for blda for he construction of the main building. The bids must be in before June 30. Whether or not there will be any diffi culty with this contract because of the contention over the foundation remains to be seen. PERSONAL MENTION.
