Tha glllnettera are making better catchea than at any prevloua time during tha aeaaon, but the haula of tha aelnera are atlll light The re currence of the hatchery runa la am loualy awaited, aa the aeaaon thua far baa been a flat failure. Should the big runa reach tha river earlier than laat year, tha cannera can eaally make up for tha preaent ebortage. On the circuit court yeaterday Judge McBrlde banded down decreea of dl rorce in the cane of Edgar M. Btahl va. Martha StahL Maude Olardlna, vs. Vincent Olardlna and Annie E. Tot vonen va.

(The Fourth of July award commit tee yeatreday held a meeting for the purpose of conalderlng tha protest made by tha order of Eaglee that the Eagle float In tha parade waa entitled to one of tha prisee. Tha prise waa given to the Foreatera. The commit tee decided that Ua original award waa correct and declined to alter its decision. Tha controversy hinged on tha meaning of the word "float," and It waa decided by tha committee, that the Foreatera really had a float In the parade and were entitled to the award. During tha paat few daya the run of flah baa ahown decided Improve tnent, but aalmon are atlll quite acarce. It la the opinion of packers and flah rmen that tha heavy runa are now not far off, and It believed tha riana and apaclflcatlona for tha lm provement oX Commercial atreet were died yeaterday by City Engineer Tea. The eatlmated coat of the work la I5288.74. Councilman Morton and Robinson and others atated laat even Ing that they would now oppose lm mediate Improvement of the atreet, aa they will not agree to have tha tbor oughfare torn up during regatta week. It la probable the council will defer letting the contract until after the carnival, notwlthatandlng tha atreet ia really In dangeroua condlton. Henry Bpellmlre, William Joplln and P. Jordan yeaterday filed a remon atrance agalnat the construction of the proposed drain on the north aide of Franklin avenue between Twelfth and Fourteenth atreeta. Thla drain waa Intended to afford relief to a taxpayer on Franklin avenue, who baa no eew erage connection. The remonatratora own three-fourtha of the property in tha Improvement district, and, aa a baala for their remonstrance, contend that tha drain ahould be toward aome other atreet It la likely the remon atrance will have tha affect of pre venting tha improvement For tha flrat time in agea, the police yeaterday failed to make atick a charge of vagrancy. Some daya ago men named Rellly and Connora became en gaged in a scuffle on Bond atreet and during the atruggla the first-named went through a etore window. He waa fined ISO for mallcloua destruction of property, and la now aervlng 25 daya In Jail m default of the aum. Yeater day the police arrested Connora, who waa charged with vagrancy. The man ahowed that ha waa working and liv ing In a respectable portion of the city, and the case against him waa dismissed for lack of evidence. It sel dom transplrea that the police fall down on vagrancy charges, and yea terday'a case waa therefore a notable exception. Rev. A. T. E.

McBride HTTTtttt-ytHITtllll'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIlIlL pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church of EttAt Astoria, arrived in the city yesterday to take charge here. Mr, Rydquist comes to Astoria with hla bride, having only recently been mar ried. He la a graduate of the Augus tine Theological seminary of Rock Isl and, and waa ordained June 5. He waa In Astoria three yeara ago, while a student and for a time occupied the pulpit of the East Astoria church. He waa coiled to the local pastorate be fore be graduated. Laat evening the pastor and hla bride were tendered a reception at the church by the mem bera of the congregation. A musical program waa carried out, and at ita conclualon refreshmente were served. Mr. Rydquist will preach Sunday In English and Swedish. Owners of three-story bulldlnga have failed to comply with the terma of the ordinance regulating the construction and equipment of bulldlnga, recently enacted, and the city authorttlea mean to go after them. Chairman Hansen of the public property committee haa asked City Attorney Smith whether or not it will be necessary to serve writ ten notice on the delinquent owners, and haa been aaaured that verbal no tice will be sufficient. "Notify them to observe the regulatlona, and If they refuse to do ao proceed agalnat them," advised the city attorney "All right, sir; I shall do ao," replied Mr Hansen. "Meantime, prepare to start some legal proceedlnga for the. city, aa I Intend to aee to, it that the terma of the bill are lived up to," Thua far peraona de siring to build have secured permls- alon from Mr, Hansen to go ahead with the work, but hereafter blanks will ba furnished, and when buildings are completed certificates will ba la sued by tha municipal authorities. "The financial condition of the city of Astoria la not ao distressing when one etope to consider aome of our re sources which are not Included In our periodical atatementa of our assets," said Auditor Anderson yeaterday aft ernoon. "Our real estate account ahowa that wa own property to the value of 143,105, which Includea the coat of tha old city hall and tha brick engine house. Then wa have fire apparatus of the estimated value of $19,850, which estimate la very low. The No. I en glna house cost 94624.59, and the lm provementa to Oceanvlew cemetery represent an investment of 13318.26, a total of t70.8S7.85. Add to thla the cost of the new city hall site, $4000, and deduct from the grand total the aum of 115.000, which we have Just received from sale of the old city hall, and we have 159,897.85. Thla aum represents what the city owns, but aa only cosh can be considered as an aa- set, the amount stated, almost $60,000, can not figure In our reports. If it did, we could make a very fine showing." t THE BEST RANGE IN THE WORLD Is the It is made of malleable steel and will never , break. , ; , : v , y y .

HEILBORN a SON : ; . - r a t Astoria's Leading House-furnishers J A good joke ia told on Captain Speler of the bar dredge Chinook. On the glorious Fourth the captain determined to, entertain aome of hla friends with a trip over the bay, and went to aome trouble to fit out a amall boat aboard which he mounted a cannon. It was his plan to take the party out on the bay and there have the cannon roar out the glory of the occasion. The party ahowed up in due aeaaon and soon waa bounding away over the bay. My, but thla la bully!" the captain aald to himself, aa everything went along nicely. Eventually it came time to fire off the cannon, and the captain made a little speech to the party in announcing the, program of events. "We will fire this gun," he said, "and I hope the sound will be heard around the " But the captain did not fin ish hla speech. It suddenly dawned on him that he had neglected to secure supply of gunpowder. Somewhat abashed, he explained that he had for gotten aomethlng, and pleaded with the members of the party to keep quiet about it All promised, and all were silent until yesterday, when one of the captain's guests gave out the story. The matter of adjourning until Fri day night In order to confer with Ar chitect Schacht regarding the city hall plana, waa discussed by the council last evening. Mr. Hansen had heard from Mr. Schacht during the day, the architect saying he could not be here until next Friday. Mr. Nordstrom ob jected, aa the regular meeting night would be but three nights off. It was agreed that no further meeting should ba held until a week from Monday, and the public property committee will confer with the architect about the plana. The local plumbera have asked the council to alter the specifications, which provide, that Cooper'a goods (Cooper ia an eastern manufacturer) shall be used In the city hall. Tha plumbera aay It would require much time to get figures on Cooper's goods; that they never heard of Cooper and have not received any of his cata loguea; that they have only 10 daya In which to figure on the work, and that the coast jobbers can provide equally aa good material as the easterners. The protest haa been referred to the publlo property committee, with power to alter the plans in accordance with the recommendation of the plumbera. Tha attorneys representing the par ties to the action yesterday argued the case of Jacob Kamm va. Kormand Bros, before Judge McBrlde. The plaintiff waa represented by John M. Gearln and Frank J. Taylor, while John IL Smith and Clyde Fulton pre- aented the case for the defendants. The attorneya comenced their 'argu menta at 9 a. m., and from that hour until 2:30 the court listened to their summaries ot the action. One of the attorneya for the loggers, whom Kamm seeks to have enjoined from loggttig on the north fork of the Closkanlne river, was quoted In The Aatorlan yea. terday as saying that the ault waa of far-reaching Importance, and the newa-pc-w article prompted Judge Taylor, In summing up the situation for Kamm to remark that he had read the argu ment of the defense In the morning paper. However, there was nothing Improper about the publication. The attorneys will submit briefs in the case, and Judge McBrlde stated yea terday that he would make another visit to the stream when he retuma to the city. He haa already been there twice, but desires to observe for him self aome of the conditions to which hla attention was called during (he presentation of the evidence. As the manner in which about $35,000,000 wjrth of timber is to be logged is Involved in the ault the outcome of the action ia awaited with great In terest The city council met last night In" adjourned session for the purpose of considering the ordinance providing for tha time and manner of improving Commercial atreet between Fourteenth and Seventeenth. This measure had been prepared for presentation at the regular meeting held last Tuesday evening, but the plans and specifica tions for the improvement had not been filed. Adjournment was therefore taken, but it was found that the coun cil could not consider the matter. The charter specifies that the plans and specifications for a street Improvement must be filed before the ordinance pro viding for the Improvement is passed, and, as an adjourned meeting doea not differ from a regular meeting, it waa just aa Impossible to consider the ordinance last night as had been the case at the meeting of Tuesday night notwithstanding that the plana were In the meantime filed. The predica ment in which the council found Itself last night led Mayor Surprenant to suggest that the council should hold weekly meetings, especially In view of the fact that the city fathers have much business to transact Mr. Han sen said he thought the council should meet weekly until October, but that semi-monthly meetings during the win ter would be about the right thing. City Attorney Smith stated that no action could be taken now affecting the meeting night as the charter pro vides that the time of meeting shall be fixed at the first meeting of the year. He aald further that the council could not gain much by meeting weekly, aa street Improvements require eight days' advertising, which would throw the matter over the week. He believed adjourned meetings wjuld suffice to meet the difficulty. Mr. Smith added that he would like to have more time in which to rule upon the legality of changing the meeting night at pres ent and will render a decision at the next meeting.
