The public schools of Astoria will be
opened next Monday, It Is expected the
attendance will be very much greater
than that of last year. There will be
one new room this fall, but It Is realised
by the board thut the accommodations
will not be sufficient to take car, of
all the pupils. Conditions In Portland
are reported to be very bad, and It Is
said 1760 pupils were unable to go to
school on the opening day because of
luck of accommodations.

which culminated In the nomination
of Hon. J. Bruce Polworth for prose

republican convention. According
the correspondent, the republican pnr

two factions, one led by Link C. Bur

H. E. Armstrong of the Pelton-Arm-strong

tion won out Mr, Polworth would not
have been named by the republicans.
The correspondent adds that Mr. Pol

Lust evening's sunset was a marvel
of beauty not because of a variety of
rich colors or because the cloud effect
waa grand, but because the sun sank
a great ball of fire, that burned a
hole In the haze of smoke which hangs
over the lower Columbia river. Look
ing west along Commercial street a
few minutes after ( the fireball could
seen just above the hilltop. The
mist hid its rays, and the perfect clr-
cle of biasing gold appeared its If It
might have been painted In the west-
m sky. The spectacle was nn In
spiring one, especially to visitors.
certain that they have been playing.
Astoria has longed to beat Multnomah,!
and though they haven't tbe number
from which to select a team, yet they
fa In with a spirited rush that counts
for much In football.'' So far as win
ning from Multnomah is concerned, the1
local players are confident they could
do so If they were given an even break
at Portland. Multnomah field has
rather an unenviable reputation among
football players of outside cities, for
the visiting teams always get the
worst of It Foul playing on the part
of the Multnomah men Is overlooked.
and crack visitors are frequently put
out of the game for alleged offenses.
If Commercial Is given anything like
a square deal, Multnomah will open
the season with a defeat.
The new steam schooner Northland
will depart today for Sim Francisco,
on her first voyage out of this port.
She has a cargo of 900,000 f.-et of lum
ber. The Northland Is provided with
passenger accommodations and It Is
evidently the Intention of her owners
to make a bid for some of the cohsI.
wise passenger business. She has
made a one-way first-class rate of $12,
nd a second-class rate of 18.
which Is S3 less than Is charged by the
O. It. & K vessels. The Dodire com
pany, which owns the Northland, will
put on another steamer If business war
rants it.
The trio of serious runaway acci
dents thut occurred Sunday and Mon
day has called attention to the reck
less driving that Is done dally In the
city. Express wagons are driven
through the narrow streets at break
neck speed, and few drivers display the
sllghteat consideration for the safety
of pedestrians. It Is not an uncom
mon sight to see drivers come around
corners onto crowded thoroughfares at
high speed, and the wonder Is there
have not been more fatal accidents. It
has also been stated that many drivers
of express and delivery wagons know
absolutely nothing about the care of
horses.
The Dally News states thut The As
lotian recently made an effort to
"bear" the salmon market by "publish
Ing a statement to the effect that the
spring pack exceeded 370,000 cases. No
such statement of the pack ever ap
peered In The Astorlan, nor has there
ever been ony effort to publish any
statement except a correct one. The
Astorlan published a rough estimate
of the amount of llnh packed to August
15, on which date It estimated the pack
at 202,600 enses. Its estimate of the
pack for the season, appearing yes
terday was 302.750 cases.. These fig
ures 4i re not exact, but are believed to
be within 10U0 cases of the actual total
of nil the packing houses.

Hev. W. B. Holllngshead. formerly of
this city, haa aroused the ire of Port
land's theatrical people. On Sunday the
minister declared that the "playhouse
Is not a fit place for boys and girls, and
the mother who lets her daughter go
there permits her to associate with the
vile and the shameless." Miss Cath
erine Countess takes Issue with Mr.
Holllngshead, declaring that "the stage
was never In Its history so near the
ohurch as at present." Miss Countess
agrees that making heroes of outlaws
Is not calculated to elevate the Juve
nile moral tone, but she insists that
legitimate drama Is perefofly proper
and quite moral. ''
Deputy Sheriff Binder haa taken
charge of the Jewelry store heretofore
conducted by Robert Korte under an
attachment suit brought by the Robert
Oreenweli Company of San Francisco
The San Francisco house has a claim
of 3206 against the concern, and other
claims will bring Korte's liabilities up
to $1000. ' The Jeweler left the cltv
about two weeks ago. In a letter to a
friend here he demonstrates that he Is
more or less a humorist, for he face
tiously writes that he deems a change
of climate suitable to his health, and
therefore has departed for China. The
stuff remaining in the store Is valued
at little more than 100.
Charles Stockton, captain of the
Commercial Club football eleven, re
turned last night from Portland. He
reports that great ' Interest la tajien
there In the coming game between the
Commercial and Multnomah teams, and
that the outcome of the contest is
awaited with more interest than the
result of the Multnomah-Oregon game.
The Commerclnl-Oregon game has not
yet been arranged for, but negotiations
are under way, with every prospect of
success. The Commercial team may
open the season next Sunday with
Stevens, although this game hRs not
been definitely scheduled. Coach Xber-
cromble will put new men i,n against
Stevens nnd will make no particular
effort to win.
