, Even Job would have been fretful
and "grouchy,, probably,' t he had
been compelled to wear some kinds of
shoes that are sold today. . Half of the
scowls seen on the faces of men and
women In this city are due to ahoes
that pinch, or that are misfits, or that
are out of date. When you can forget
that you are wearing shoes ' at all
then you are wearing about the right
kind of shoes. If you want a pair of
that kind, call In and see Peterson ft

8. G. Williams,' secretary of the re
publican committee of Wahkiakum
county, was In Astoria yesterday. Mr.
Williams states that all of the repub
lican candidates carried the county,
complete returns showing the election
of Miss Maude Kimball as school su
perintendent and Clarence White as
county clerk. White had the hardest
race, winning by 39 votea. Mlsa Kim
ball's majority waa 99. For a time It
was thought those candidates had been
defeated. The returns show that J.
Bruce Polworth has defeated J. C.
McFadden by 120, and It la possible,
Mr. Williams says, that the figure may
be Increased. J. G. Megler Is elected
representative by S44 plurality over
Marshall, democrat, and Edwards, so
cialist. Mend, republican, for governor,
carried the county by 810, running 10
behind Roosevelt. Rice, for supreme
judge, receives 345 over Elliott. Tur
ner, democrat, for governor, received
only 132 votes in the county, Burgess,
socialist, receiving 70. The balance of
the republican ticket is elected by plu
ralities averaging 325. In Skamokawa
Polworth and McFadden ran a dead
heat, each receiving 67 votes.
Amendment to the local option law
to the extent of providing that here
after all liquor elections shall be held
on the precinct basis will likely be
effected at the next session of the Ore
gon legislature, according to Portland
nil vices. On every hand Is heard a de
mand for legislation of this kind, and
an amendment will be undertaken by
a bill to that effect. Reliable Infor
mation has It that If such an amending
bill is Introduced It will become a part
of the local option law. There la even
heard a rumor that an effort will be
made to repeal the law, but now that
tha act la a decree of the people It Is
not regarded as probable that tha leg
islature will take upon itself to set
it aside, but rather to amend tt Into a
local option act, and give the people
voting when the law was carried at the
polls. The fact that many regarded the
measure as a purely precinct option
act and woke up to find that It was
after all a prohibition law, when their
votes had been cast, would, ao many
of the legislators think. Justify them
In amending the law as the people's
representatlvea, to conform to that
which It waa originally believed to be,
A sword bearing the name "Clark"
on the sheath, and possibly a ; relic
left behind by the famous explorer of
1805, was the principal article In a
find of rare historic value unearthed
by Gilbert Tufty In a small leather
covered trunk on what Is known as
the Burrey donation claim, back of
CathlameL The collection Is princi
pally of Indian relics and contains
coins dated as far back aa 1783, both
silver and copper. Mr. Tufty, after
giving away quite a number of the rel
ics to friends, is beginning to realize
their value, and expects to have them
on exhltbtion at the 1905 fair. The
trunk, waa found between two Indian
graves and has probably been buried
for 50 years, as It fell to piece on
being removed, and all that could be
saved were tha brass corners. A large
quantity of Hudson's bay beads, some
aeucate cm na ware, an eurt.ien mug,
which has the appearance at first
sight of solid gold: two powder flanks,
a, large assortment of Jewelry, brace
lets, etc, were with the sword. There
waa also a quantity of Indian wampum.
It 'la readily understood how "the
sword, belonging to the pioneer ex
plorer, might have come Into posses
sion of Indians and been deposited
with their relics nearly half a century
later. The presence of the chest be
tween the two grave seems to Indicate
Indian origin.
F. A. Seufert of The Dalles, la out
In the Portland Journal with a long
statement attacking Fish Warden Van
Dusen because of his action In permit
ting fishing after the time fixed by
law for suspension of operations. Mr.
Seufert charges the fish warden with
wanton disregard for the law and
holds him responsible for the shortage
of the egg supply at the hatcheries.
He declares that the policy of exter
minating the salmon Is one encouraged
by cannerymen of this city, and adds
that fishermen who work on the bar
are ruining the Industry. Aa an in
stance of his lack of knowledge of the
subject which he has so extensively
waded Into, he says that the bar gill
net ters have nets which drag the bot
tom and that aalmon coming up to the
mouth of the river find hundreds of
miles of web In their way. He con
cludes that. If the fishing operations
were entirely suspended at Astoria, sal
mon would manage to make their
way past the flshwheels and that the
hatchery supply would be good. An
other Interesting statement contained
in his declaration is that the run of
salmon varies never more than four or
five days that la to say, salmon ap
pear at the Columbia about the same
time every year. He says runs are
sometimes kept out of the river by the
array of web which Is placed at the
mouth of the Columbia. As demon
strating lack of knowledge of the sit
uation, the statement is one of the
most remarkable which has ever ap
peared.
