The Thanksgiving day football game between the Multnomah and Commer cial elevens Is attracting the Interest of lovers of amateur sport, and the at tendance Is expected to be very large. The Commercials have been training faithfully and hope to vanquish the visitors, although It is realized that the Multnomah men will come prepared to win If this Is possible. Commercial has recently added some new men to Its complement, and the Thanksgiving game may see them In the line, Home Interesting football news will shortly be announced. It appears from statements of east enders that the recent rains have bad ly damaged the new Franklin avenue Improvement In that portion of the city. The whole district Is under wate and people ure wondering If their houses will flout away. Some months ago a plan for improvement of the drainage system was suggested, but the Third warders kicked so hard againiU It that It was turned down. Now, however, they are willing to agree to almost any thing, and at the meeting to he held Hunduy afternoon a plan will doubt less be arranged which will prove sat isfactory Senator Fulton spent Sunday and Monday at home and left lat night for Portland, from which city he will start today for Washington. Mrs. Fulton' and Secretary Haldcrman will leave this evening for the nietroixills and there Join the senator. Senator and Mrs. Fulton and Mr. Haldernuin will remain in Wahlngton until ufter the Inauguration of the president, which will take place March 4. After the in auguration the senate usually meets for a week or 10 days to confirm such appointment as the president may feel disponed to make. The senator will return home about March 25. He expects a busy session and will have much work to do. Senator Fulton Is of the opinion that an extra session of congress will not be culled to revise the tariff. Nearly three weeks ago a report was received from Seaside to the effect that a wrecked schooner had been sighted off the Necanlcum river.- The report was put down by local shipping men as a hoax, as search by govern ment vessels and bar tugs failed to re veal the presence of a derelict. Word comes from Florence, on the Sluslaw, however, that the schooner Bella, bound for Florence from Sun Fran cisco, is long overdue, and the belief Is entertained at the coast town that the vessel supposed to huve been seen ofT the Necanlcum was the Bella. The lit tle schooner left San Francisco more than five weeks info. Octobr 29 a ves sel supposed to have been the Bella ap peared oft the Sluslaw, but was un able to cross the bar. Since that date she has not been seen and fear is en tertained that perhaps she may have met with disaster. The Bella Is owned by William Kyle & Sons and has been engaged In the coastwise trade for some years. The great storm still continues un abated and shipping has been prac tically purulyxed for a week. The gale has been accompanied by an Incessant downpour, and on Sunday the preci pitation reached the remarkable total of S.3S Inches. There are several places In the United States where the precipi tation for the entire year is less than that of Sunday. Yesterday the great est velocity attained by the gale was 72 miles an hour. For a time during the day the weather cleared and the in dications were favorable for better weather. However, the signs soon failed, and within two hours the storm was again raging. The steamship Elder arrived Sunday from Sun Francisco, after a rough trip. The storm was be hind her coming up the coast and she got along very nicely, but her experi ence crossing the bar was scarcely an enviable one. Several seas washed over her, but no accident occurred. The bar bound fleet now numbers nine vessels the steamers Asuncion, Aberdeen, Northland and Despatch, the schooner Halycon and a schooner whose name Is unknown, the three-masted barkentlne George C. Perkins and the French barks Pierre Lot! and Crllllon. The two barks are grain laden for Europe. The Alliance, Leggettt and Redondo and a four-masted bark are In the offing. Cnptaln Wood is aboard the bark. A team of Portland tenpln bowlers defeated an aggregation of Astorlnns on the Wise alleys Sunday nfternon. The Astorlnns started oft like winners, nnd up to the eighth frame in the last game had things their own way. How ever, the visitors "smoked up" and the locals were beaten by 23 pins. Ed Capen, an old-time cocked-hat bowler, secured the best single game, 204, but pay pf Astoria got the best three-game total! 631. The totnls of the Astorlans j were as follows. Wooley, 497; Porter, 439; Baney, 455; Olen, 432; Bay, 531; grand total, 2353. The scores of the Portlunders follow: Capen, 530; Howe, 482; Oalllard. 404; Kneyse, 493; Kruse, 4G5; total, 2374. December 2l' the As- torlans will play a return match on the Portland alleys. A series of doubles, consisting of 20 games, 10 to be played here and 10 at Portland, has been ar ranged for December 4 and December 11. A prize will be hung up. The As toria doubles will be Wooley and Olen, and the Portland doubles Capen and Kruse. At the meeting of the council last night Mr. Bellund called attention to the ned for change In the city charter. He said the present rule providing that property could be assessed for not mure than 75 per cent of the assessed valua tion for street Improvements was a bad one, and he believed the' question as to the right of the city to assess Improve ments for street work should also be determined. It has been contended that buildings can not legally be assessed to pay for street work. Mr. Belland also expressed the belief that the police commission should be wiped out He said there had been but one commis sioner In the city for years past and that the council committee on health and police could better look after the business of the department. He moved the appointment of a committee of five, two members to consist of the city at torney and city engineer, to prepare a charter draft embodying alterations for presentation at the next session. Mr. Hansen was inclined to be somewhat skeptical, saying other charters had been enacted that were not satisfactory. However, Mr. Belland's motion pre vailed, and Mayor Surprenant appoint ed the following committee: Messrs. Burns, Bellund, Hansen, City Attorney Smith and Engineer Tee.
