An Astorlan who went down to the
mouth of the river yeeterday state
that the jetty is not very badly dam
aged aa the result of the recent storm,
and that those portions carried out
were of the old work. All of the new
work withstood the fury of the gale
The gentleman expressed the opinion
that less than 2000 feet of the trestle-
work was carried away, and he seemed
confident that the accident would not
delay work.
John Fox yesterday received a wire
from Peter Kruse, who Is at Chicago,
conveying the Information that the
packing house of Ubby, McNeil ft
Llbby had accepted the can body-making
machine which la manufactured at
the Astoria Iron Works and ordered
six machines. The machine acepted
had been Bent to Chicago on trial and
the big Arm waa so well pleased with
It that alx additional machines were
ordered. This machine la a recent in
vention and promises soon to make Its
way Into every concern of Importance
In America. It la manufactured only
at Astoria. '
Mra. Elisabeth Anderson, wife of
Ludwlg Anderson, died Thursday after?
noon of typhoid malaria, with which
she had been afflicted for more than a
year. Recently Mr. and Mra, Ander
son returned from St. Louis, where Mra
Anderson had been receiving medical
attention at one of the large hospitals.
Her physician, a specialist of note, pro
nounced her beyond recovery. Since
her return local physicians had treat
ed her, but with no better results. The
funeral will be held at 1 o'clock this
afternoon from the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Adolf Johnson, 86V Exchange
street. Rev. G. Rydqulst will officiate
and the , Interment will be at Green
wood. Mr. and Mrs. , Anderson were
married In this city seven years ago,
and the deceased was, quite well known.
The lettercarrlers of Oregon will
meet at Portland , today for' the pur
pose of forming a state association of
lettercarrlers. The carrlere of Astoria,
who compose branch No. 295, will be
presented by Patrick Shea.- A. B.
Dalglty la the other delegate from this
city, but Mr. Shea will held hla proxy.
In the past It has been the custom for
each branch to eleot aeiegaiea 10 we
national convention, which haa grown
to be a cumbersome body. A reduc
tion In the number of delegates was
deemed advisable, so it waa decided to
form' state associations, which should
choose delegates to represent the en
tire state. Among the other import
the question of equalizing wage. Now
carriers at first-class offices receive
more pay than is allowed carrier at
second-class offices. The latter cannot
understand the logic of the arrange
ment, a the working hours are the
same and the work is equally as diffi
cult at first-class and second-class of
fice. The organization of state enun
ciation will hove the effect of bring
Ing this proposition to the attention
of the federal authorities, and second
class carriers hone to be able to show
the department officials that they are
entitled to as. much pay as fellow-carriers
In the larger cities. There are
five carriers and one substitute here,
Two additional carriers and a clerk are
badly needed at the Astoria office.
A few days ago a stranger dropped
in at Madison's Eleventh street cigar
store and engaged Ross Trullinger In
conversation. Ross found the stranger
a 'most congenial fellow, with plenty
of Interesting anecdotes to relate. Fnal
ly the two began discussing card tricks.
which reminded the stranger that he
had a trick of rare merit He took
from hla pocket a deck of card, which
he Bhuflled Industriously for a few mo
ments. Then he asked Ross to select
a card out of the deck. The queen of
clubs was selected. "Now, replace the
card anywhere," said the stranger, and
Ross compiled. The stranger again
shuffled the cards. The shuffle was "on
the square," and Ross was morally cer
tain the trickster had not seen the card.
After shuffling the carda the stranger
aaked Ross to select a card, promising
htm the card would be the one he had
originally selected. Of course, it was.
Ross grabbed the deck from the stran
ger's band and hasty examination
showed that It was made up of 62
queens of clubs.
Now that a presidential election Is
approaching, the old question as to
whether or not the resident of another
state can vote here has been raised.
Under the laws of Oregon, a voter must
have resided In the state for six months
and be must have registered. If he
has failed to register, then his vote
must be sworn in, and six freeholders
(registered voters, who pay taxes) must
swear that he haa lived in the state for j
the time named.- The resident of an
other state cannot vote in Oregon, al
though there Ir? a widespread belief that
he can. Oregon and one or two other
states of the union permit men to vote
who' have taken out their first papers
have declared their Intention of be
coming cltlaens. This feature of the
law is an absurdity, for the reason that
the general government doea not re
gard such persons as cltlaens. Men
who have declared their IntenUon to
become cittxens cannot be drafted Into
the army, are exempt from jury duty,
and are not entitled to the protection
that the government affords full
fledged cltlxens. If such persons should
be indicted for felony they could de
mand to be tried In the federal court
The rule in Oregon creates a condl
tlon whereby persons are able to take
part In the enactment of laws to which
they are not subject It is not un
likely that the provision In question
will be repealed. -
