' County Judge Trenchard and Com missioners Dark and Laraon were to have made a trip of Impaction to the Nehalem valley yaaterday, but the downpour neceaaltated poatponament of the trip, which will be made when the weather cleara. The Tongue Toint Lumber Company liiu Just awarded the contract for the erection of two new cottagaa on Ita property near the mill. The cottagea are to be occupied by employee ot the big Institution. The property In the vicinity of the mill la rapidly being Improved, and alnce the mill waa butlt valuta have Increaaed there to a very material extent X Olin, a native of Finland, died at St Mary's boepltal yesterday after noon ot typhoid fever, after an lllneaa ot 11 days.

The services will be conducted by Rev. Ryqulst and the Interment will be In the Lewis and Clark cemetery. The baseball game which was to have taken place at A. F. C. park this afternoon between the Commercial Club and Rainier nines will not be held. The rain of the past few days has made the ground too soft for good ball, so the Rainier team was notified yesterday to not come. The game will be played at some future date. This is the only Instance during the season where rain has interfered with baseball. In eastern Oregon seems pretty gen erallv aareed arnonr fishermen and packers, and there is little hope of im provement in the run until tha water clears. The season will last only SO days longer, so the pack is going to be very much below that of last year. A few flab, are being taken below Sand Island, but the seiners of tbs upper river are making miserable hauls. M. f. Callender, who cama over yes terday from Knappton, offers an ex cedent sueaestlon for the benefit of the Lewie and Clark fair management Mr. Callender thinks it would be good Idea during the present hot weather at St Louis to bulletin dally the condition of the weather at Port land. Certainly the state would profit by the comparison. The run of salmon fell off again yes terday and receipts were light at all of the canneries and cold storages. The river is even muddler than has been the cose for the past ten daya and the aalmon are remaining at sea. That the condition ot the water Is due to the cloudbursts which have occurred Heavy weather prevailed In the lower harbor yesterday and several flaher men bad narrow escapes from drown ing. Three boats were washed ashore during the day and another was cap- slsed, the steamer Q Hurd picking up her occupants. Reports from Ham mond last evening conveyed the Infor mation that no fatalities bad occurred, and, so far as could be learned last evening, none of the fishermen lost his gear. The will ot the late Mrs. Nancy Now. len was filed for probata yesterday. The estate is valued at (1000 and la divided between the daughters of the deceased, Mrs. M. X Badollet, Mrs. a Reed and Mrs. K N. Carnahan; her on, John F. Nowlen, and her grand daughters, Rosonna Nowlen, Mary Jane Josephine Nowlen, Margaret Ellen Nowlen and Jennie Nowlen. Mary Jane Badollet R. N. Carnahan and Granville Reed are named as execu tors, Portlanders who arrived In the city yeaterday afternoon and who profess to know something ot the matter say the effort ot the outside gamblers to "butt in" at tha metropolla will reault In failure. The city administration has made a rule that only those gambling houses now In operation will be per mitted to run, and has been arresting the outsiders. The strangers, on the other hand, have threatened to appeal to the courts, and to close the town If they are excluded. It ft stated that the officials mean to stand pat on their proposition, and that the outsiders will not only not be permitted to engage in bualnesa, but the houses now running will continue to operate.

Captain Mat Kklbbe's boats will be In the pool, which will give the new corporation the following feet: Melville, Jordan, Vanguard, Eclipse, gasoline launch Queen, steamer Queen and the new boat which Is to be built. With this fleet of boats the combine (hopes to be able to, maintain excellent servk-e to all nearby points a'nd at the. same time attend to the towing busU ness, which even now ia of greater vol ume than can be conveniently handled. So far as the trust Is concerned, there wilt be no reduction in rates, it is an nounced, as existing tariffs are satisfactory. It was stated yesterday that 8. Mor ton Cohen would not convert the old city' hall into a theater.' Bids for re modeling the building were submitted to him some days ago, but the contract was not awarded. It Is stated that the cost of rebuilding the structure would be greater than Mr. Cohen had antici pated, and that he has decided to fit up tbe building for store purposes. Ills Intention has not been positively ascertained. Probate Judge Trenchard yesterday appointed O. C. Fulton administrator of the estate of Dyson D. Wans, who died at San Francisco May 14 of this year. Tbe appointment waa made at the re quest of the widow, laabelle Was. The property left by deceased in Astoria consists of lots 1 and 2, block 89, and lot 5, block 145, Olney'a Astoria. Its value Is given as $2000, and Mr. Ful ton's bonds were fixed at $4000. B. Van Dusen, E. Z. Ferguson and Thomas Llnvllle were appointed appraisers vf the property. Mrs, Mary Taylor, her husband and Infant child were removed yesterday to the pesthouse, where Mrs. Taylor will be treated for varioloid. Tbe Main Street house, where the case developed, was thoroughly fumigated yesterday and the police restrictions removed. Dr. Pllklngton says there is no chance ot spread of the disease and anticipates that Mr. Taylor and tbe baby will es cape without attack, although both have been exposed. Rigid quarantine regulations are being enforced at the Pietlrala residence, In West Astoria, where a 7-year-old girl Is dangerous ly ill with diphtheria. The authorities feel that this case is much more dan gerous than the varioloid case and will use every means to prevent con tagion. In the Pietlrala residence four children and two adults, are under quarantine. PERSONAL MENTION. M. P. Callender Is over from Knapp ton.

HAVE The city council will meet In regu lar session tomorrow evening. The principal business to be brought be fore the council will be the approval ot the plans for the city halt Tbe plans have been approved by the pub lic property committee, and doubtless wlU prove aatlsfactory to the council The new hall will be built on the colonial plan, with stone basement and wooden upper stories. The police sta tion wlU be located In the basement while the auditor will occupy tbe northwest corner of the first floor, the office of the water commission being located in the southwest corner.

"We have them as low as $9. : : : : The statement of C. H. Callender, promoter of the local steamboat trust. In yesterday's Astorlan caused much comment among local owners of boats. The Indications are that neither Bab bldge Bros, nor Captain Plckernell will put their boats into the proposed new company, but will continue to operate Independently. The situation seems to have stirred up spme feeling and there Is talk of bitter warfare when the trust commences operations. Mr. Cal lender stated to a newspaper repre sentative that he had no Idea of under taking to drive out ot business any ot the men now operating boats, but he believed there would be much better satisfaction all around It the steam boat owners combined and did business from one office. He announced that he would make preparations to handle traffic to all nearby points, and that one new boat would be built to prop erly augment the present fleet TheJ probabilities are that tha steamer Queen will be brought over from Grays harbor and placed on the run out of The following musical program will be rendered at the First Methodist Episcopal church this evening: Organ Voluntary.

Several Inquiries having been made with reference to the lady's world's fair ticket, I will say that every lady whose husband, father, son, brother or acquaintance buys a man's or young man's suit or overcoat at Herman Wise's big store will receive an extra number for sending the gentleman to my store. Such number entitles the lady holding It to participate In the distribution of a separate ticket to and from the St Louis world's fair. This lady's ticket is separate and indepen dent of the four men's world's fair tickets, the men folks receiving for themselves one number with each S10 sale. The dance and free ticket distri bution will take place on August 29. Invitations will be issued in due time. HERMAN WISE. The Reliable Clothier and Hatter.
