Because of the fact that the Fourth
of July falls on Monday thla year, the
neat meeting of the council will be
held Tuoaday night, At this session
tha plana for the new city hall will
be submitted for approval, and Imme
diately bids for the conduction of the
building will be Invited. Tbe adver
tleement will appear for 11 days.
The circuit court was not In session
yesterday, Judge McDrlde and Judge
Taylor having taken a trip Into the
country. Court will be In session again
today. Tbe present session Is rather
free and easy affair, the court taking
up those matters which happen to be
called op. There Is nothing special In
Igbt for today's session.
The concrete sidewalk Installed In
front of Madison's and the Grotto seems
to be a decided success. The predic
tion was freely made that the enter
prising bualnesa men would squander
their coin for this experiment, but
there is no evidence aa yet that the
Investment has not been a good one.
Concrete walks are to be placed around
the new Arcade theater.
The police are looking for the owner
of a fedora hat which was found In the
postofflca yard Monday night The
hat contains tbe Initials "J. T." The
finding of a hat has come to be' re
garded u a circumstance indicating
trouble of some tort, and tbe police
are therefore anxious to locate the
owner, who probably is not now in
the city. - The hat was bought a( a,

Hammond will celebrate the Fourth
this year. There will be land sports
of every description with appropriate
prizes, also various water sports. A
baseball game between tba Cathlamet
Suns and Hammond Stars. A goddess
of liberty Is now being voted upon, and
the result will be announced In theae
columns later. Fireworks and a grand
ball will wind up the day.
Fines and forfeitures in the police
court yesterday aggregated 1350, and
It is expected the total receipts for the
month ending tonight will surpass those
of June of last year. Police court re
ceipts are becoming greater every year,
and this department of the city gov
ernment will this year net something
more than fuOOO. Astoria is one of
the few cities in the country that are
not compelled to levy taxes to main
tain the police.
The schooner El Dorado arrived in
port last evening after a passage of
43 days from Shanghai, She comes In
ballast and had been off the river for
a few days. Captain Smith reports
that his vessel met with disaster while
being taken Into Shanghai harbor. The
pilot who boarded the schooner steer
ed ber onto the mud flats, and the cost
of floating her was f 4000 or 15000. Tbe
captain states that be saw nothing of
a warlike nature In tbe orient , .
There Is much speculation W P
whether or not the Commercial Club,
baseball team will be able to success
fully cope with tbe South Bend aggre
gation, which Is to play here on tbe
Fourth and thd following day. The
visiting team will be made Ut of the
crack ball players of southwestern
Washington, and It Is whispered that
a number of the Aberdeen ' and Ho
qulam league players are to make tbe
trip. In anticipation of a bard game
the clubmen are doing some earnest
practicing.
J. T. Ross and 23 fttber property
owners yesterday filed with Auditor
Anderson a petition for tbe establish
ment of an electrto light at the cor
ner of Eleventh street and Grand ave
nue. The petition recites that there Is
no light on Eleventh street between
Commercial and Irving avenue. The
matter will be referred to the street
committee at the next meeting of the
council.
Practically all of the stores are now
gaily attired in commemoration of the
anniversary of the great national holi
day. Teaterday the display at ths
store of Wherlty, Balaton A Co. at
tracted much attention. Mr. Balaton's
Idea was a decidedly unique and suc
cessful one. He displays a silk flag
In the window that Is kept fluttering
by means of an electric fan. Tbe fan
Is hidden from view, and nearly every
one who stops to view the waving
banner marvels at the manner In which
It is made to flutter. Cooper's is at
tractively decorated, as are Dunbar's,
P. A. Stokes' and other stores.

Packers yesterday reported a slight
Improvement In the receipts of salmon.
Fish are still very scarce, however,
and the catches are so small that the
canneries are operated for only a very
short time each day. Should the hatch
ery runs fall during July and August
the season will prove a flat failure.
There Is no doubt that the hatchery
fish will soon make their appearance,
and packers are preparing for a rush
similar to that of the past few years.
Despite the shortage of fish, trade con
tlnues to be brisk. Indicating that As
torla Is not now so much dependent
upon fishing as formerly was the case.
Everything Is In readiness for the
production of the operetta "Snow White
or the Seven Dwarfs." The little chll
dren, of whom there will be over 75
on the stage, have their parts perfect
and their costumes made. The music
Is exceptionally fine, while the solos
to be sung by Miss Maude Ross and
Miss Bertha Stevenson will alone be
well worth the price of admission. Tbe
operetta, which Is given under tbe
auspices of the Astoria Woman's Club,
will be presented two nlghta The sale
of seats for the first performance has
been phenomenal, and If all predic
tlons come true, this little opera will
prove the beet ever given at the opera
house.

Professor A. L. Clark, city superin
tendent of education, left last evening
for Portland to attend the teachers'
state institute, which has been In sea
slon since Tueday. Tbe Institute Is
being very largely attended by educa
tors from all parts of the state, and
the exchange of ideas will redound to
the benefit of tbe public school system
lot Oregon. Professor Clark Is to de
liver an address to the Institute at
1:30 this afternoon, taking for his sub
ject, "The Relation of Punishment to
the Formation of Character." Other
addresses will be delivered today by
C. L. Hoover of Portland, E. E. Wash
burn of Jacksonville and A. R. Draper
of Portland.
Painters arrived in the city yester
day for the purpose of placarding the
city with large signs advertising the
"Export" cigar. When the members of
the local clgarmakers' union learned of
the matter they took Immediate steps
to head oft the slgn-patntlng and called
upon those merchants who had given
the painters permission to decorate
their buildings with the signs. The
members of the union say the Export
cigar Is manufactured by children in
large cities; that it is a trust-made
article, and that the union has long
agoi declared It unfair. "The scheme
of the trust Is to advertise one brand
of cheap cigar until it runs out, and
then to advertise some other brand,"
said the members of the committee in
charge of the matter. "The city now
Is covered with large signs advertising
the Owl cigar, which Is also unfair.
The Owl has about run its course, and
the trust now Beeks to create demand
for its Export cigar. There is no way
for us to prevent the slgn-palntlng ex
cept by appeal to the merchants, and
we have taken this course, with good
success."
Chairman McBride yesterday ap
pointed a press committee, to which
will be left the publicity essential to
the complete success of the regatta.
This ccaunlttee will prepare matter for
the papers throughout the northwest
and will keep itself in close touch with
newspaper publishers. The regatta is
to be very thoroughly advertised, not
only by the press committee, but as
well by the managing committee. The
managing committee has ordered tens
of thousands of small cards, which are
to be distributed broadcast at the
Portland Fourth of July celebration and
the carnival now on In the metropolis.
Several thousand small flags have been
ordered and will be received shortly.
The flass are of celluloid and will con
tain the words, "Astoria Annual Re
gatta, August 24, 25, 26, 1904," Last
year the flag idea was Introduced and
netted good returns. The committee
made a clear profit of something like
1300 from them as souvenirs. Chair
man McBride will be in Portland on
the Fourth to see that the regatta
float makes a conspicuous showing In
the parade, and as well to see to it
that the advertising matter is well
distributed. ,

, The work of remodeling the old city
hall Is to be commenced on Monday. A
large force of carpenters will be put
to work, and Mr. Morton hopes to have
hit show going by August 15 The
building Is to be completely changed
In appearance, and when finished will
be one of the handsomest structures
along Comerclal street. It was atated.
yesterday that A. Ilajcr had. 1 eased the
building now occupied by H. D Thing",
directly across the street from the
Unique theater, and that he would
remove to the new location in a short
time. This building is quite large and
Its seating capacity will be much
greater than that , of the present
Unique. . Mr. Morton is to call his
theater the Arcade, the name which
he gave to the first 10-cent showhouse
that he opened In Portland. He Is
to run a seven-act continuous vaude
ville performance and expects to be
able to seat about 500 people. Hed-
rick's theater is to be opened on the
Fourth, and by regatta week there will
be three 10-cent shows running here.
The Arcade is to be gorgeously light
ed, a contract having been made yes
terday for 300 lights. A large search
light is to be displayed from the old
bell tower In the rear of the Arcade.
There promises to be much rivalry be
tween tbe three houses for business,
and Astorlans may expect to see some
good shows for 10 cents.
