Lunch waa eaten un der the trees neur the reservoir and the walkout proved an enjoyable one. The cooler weather of the past few daya has resulted In an exodus from the beaches, and outgoing train are loaded with passengers. September may be a warmer month at the coast than August, but the crowd will not be nearly so great The Potter, which haa been running to the north beach, will discontinue her trlpa next Sunday. The work of Improving Commercial street east of Fourteenth will be be gun within a few days. The contract for the Improvement has already been awarded. The atreet mlaht have been repaired before regatta week had not the property owner bickered for ao long a time over the method of mak ing the Improvement. The thorough fare Is aadly In need of repair and It Is somewhat remarkable than an ac cident ha not occurred. The nve-mnsted schooner Crescent has arrived from Manila in ballast to load lumber. The Crescent had a long passage of 66 daya, the result of calm. She Is one of the few five-stickers afloat and is the largest vessel of her class on the coast, registering 1334 tons.

On thla account many persons will be taxed who have not previously been assessed, and all such persons are expected to flle their objections be fore the board, and not at a later date. An amusing incident occurred in front of the Occident Sunday night. A well dressed stranger, much the worse for liquor, dropped asleep while sitting In front of the hotel. Evidently he had vein more or less or nts time near the hotel and become familiar with the conduct of a business establishment in the neighborhood. He was awakened by a party of night hawks who were making considerable noise on their way home, and. Jumping from his seat cried out, "The Hub! the Hub!" For a While he was believed tn h ia.i. but explained In a maudlin way thnt he had been dreaming of Strain's place of business. Henry Miller, who was arrested Sat urday night for passing bogus checks, was arraigned yesterday before Jus tlce Goodman and committed to Jail in default of 3500 bonds. He Is to ap pear for trial tomorrow afternoon. Miller had been working In a local res taurant during regatta week and cashed at Denck's saloon a check for $23.50. It waa drawn on the Astoria Savings bank and signed "Henry Mey ers. Anomer unsigned check was found In M"ler'8 pocket by the polke Miller Is held unon a chaiar of nh. talnlng money under false pretenses. Edward Foley, who was injured in a runaway accident Saturday night, Is getting along nicely. Foley Is not in ternally hurt and Dr. Henderson ex pects he will be out again in about a week. The bill prasented ' at Hedrlek's theater last night was one of the best yet offered at this popular .place of amusement. The theater was crowded at alt three shows and the performers were heartily applauded from the time the curtain went up until the closing number. Miss. Maud Carter opens the show. Miss Carter Is a very attractive blonde, whose singing scored for her a decided hit last nieht. niiimm- . La Meln are on in a refined sketch entitled, "Taming a Hunband." The sketch is catchy. Miss La Moin ren dered a violin aolo that Dleased the crowd," and Mr. Olllmore' vocal effort was also very much appreciated. Marco brothers appear In a roaring comedy act that keeps the house convulsed. Tint Welch, the "man without bones," also appeaj-s in a comedy act that is worth while seeing, and indeed, which must be seen to be fully appreciated. HI feats are little short of marvelous. John Downey sang "The Field Are White With Cotton" and was well re ceived. The moving pictures, tbe aa censlon of Mount Wane, conclude the performance. The show la refined and there Is enough comedy thrown in to keep theatergoers well amused Mr. Hedrlck announces a change of act for Thursday and a special matinee Thursday, allowing each adult who buy a ticket a pass for one child un der IS years of age. The members of the Multnomah bowling team were somewhat disap pointed because of their failure to lift the famous Keldenhelmer trophy. They made no effort to conceal their disap pointment, for they came to the city anguine of success. The pins acted very badly during the contest, but the same difficulty Is experienced at the Portland clubs. The Multnomah bowl ers did not say when they would be back again for another try, but it I probable that they will challenge shortly. A visit from the Portland Commercial bowlers Is expected In the neur future. The Astorlans have failed away from home on a great many dif ferent occasions, and only won through persistent effort. The difficulty of bowling away from home makes vic tory rather Improbable, and the Mult nomah men now appreciate thla. In an answer to inquiries from a number of county clerks. Attorney- General Crawford haa rendered an opinion In which he advises the clerks that when registration books are opened between September 20 and Oc tober 20, only those persons should be registered who did not register last spring. The registration law prior to June, 1904, provided for only one regis tration, in the spring. The direct pri mary law, adopted by the people at the June election, amended the registration law so aa to provide that the books shall be open for a month beginning September 20. Some o the county clerks thought from the reading of the law that all voters must register in the fall, even though they had already registered In the spring The attorney- general holds that the registration in the spring was legal and continues In effect even though the law was amend ed. The second opening of the books is merely for the purpose of register ing those voters who did not register In the spring. , . PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. and Mrs. 8. O.
