A Former Astoria Athlete Implicated in tho Land Frauds. "Spike" Young, former Astoria boy, has been indicted by the federal grand jury for complicity In the land frauds. The Oregonian has the following to aay: Henry Toung, another one of those Indicted, is well known In Portland and in the Willamette valley as an athlete. He came from Astoria and was given a clerkship in the secretary of state's office by Frank L Dunbar during the early part of that official's first term. Toung, however, drank to excess and was discharged. He later was entan gled with the law for having collected money from various persons in Salem under pretense of representing a firm with which he had no connection and is supposed to have left the state under this cloud. He was at one time member of the Multnomah football team and was known . as "Spike' Toung. Toung represented himself as George A. Graham before Judge Gal loway, then of the Oregon City land office, and also made affidavit before R. B. Montague as Henry Toung. Toung is now in the east, but the government does not have any great desire to apprehend him, as he is of too little moment at the present time. As the offense for which he is indicted is not extraditable, it is thought that Toung will not be one of those to at tend the trial. Portland, Dec. IS. George D. Gray of San Francisco, head of the California ft Oregon Coast Steamship Company, is her on one of his periodical Jour neys north. Mr. Gray's presence in Portland at this particular time is slg niflcant In view of the recent develop' ments In the tussle for business be tween the several steamer lines paral leling the coast between the Columbia river and San Francisco. Mr. Gray says he has no information to give publicity to, but it Is believed his mission here Is to arrange for the substitution of a faster steamer in place of the Alliance to compete with the F. A. Kllburn of the Russell A Rogers' fleet, which now makes the same ports as the Alliance, in addition to San Francisco, and of late has made better time than the C. ft O. liner. It was given out at the time the Alliance's route was changed, so that she touched only at Coos bay and Eureka, that another steamer would be placed on the through run the coming year. At that time there was no oppo sition to the coast ports and the trade was safe, but since the Kllburn com menced to make points on Coos and Humboldt bays It is said the California & Oregon Coast has awakened to the necessity of bettering its facilities, and it is confidently thought a vessel will be secured that will be equally as fast as the Kllburn. WATER AT TILLAMOOK. Well GOLF CRANKS WORK. Schema far National Organization Is Advocated. New Tork, Dec. 28. A special com mittee of the United States Golf Asso elation, appointed at the annual meet' lug last February to consider the plan of placing all the clubs in the national body on an equality, both In the pay ment of dues and in voting power, has finished Its work and will report at the next annual meeting, February 10, In this city. The committee took up a proposition for U western clubs to reorganize the association Into one class of member' ship with every club entitled to a vote. In Its report the committee recommends a compromise, adhering to their classes,, but providing that an asso ciate membership may be changed to an active one and the dues for the lat ter are reduced from $100 to $50. If adopted this plan will permit clubs to attain voting power in the national or ganizatlon If they so desire. It Is also provided that allied clubs be given a representation on the executive board NARROW ESCAPE.

Plans for Tilla mook's proposed new water system, which has ben under consideration for two years, are reaching final stages. The report of Civil Engineer W. B. Chase of Portland, who has been here for over a month, surveying and mak ing plans and specifications, has been accepted by the city council, and the water commission. It shows that the total cost of the system, including all necessary work, fixtures and the com plete water line will not exceed $42,- 000. Water will be taken from a moun tain stream about six miles from the business center of the city, and will. when completed, supply water for 7680 people at 100 gallons each every 12 hours. Morris Bros, ft Christiansen of Portland have agreed to take the bonds of $45,000 at par, with interest at S per cent per annum. The present system is a gravity one, having been sonstructed about eight years ago. .The water comes from a mountain stream, but of late years the clearing of brush and the fire of two years ago have killed the molsture-re tainlng brush and trees that formerly held the water in the hills adjacent to the creek. In the summer or in ex tremely dry weather the water supply Is insufficient. The supply Is conduct ed In a wooden stave pipe, and at a pressure of 50 pounds or more breaks the wrappings of wire, which In some places are badly corroded. At times the present supply la cut off entirely for hours. For many reasons citizens and prop erty owners are loklng forward to the completion of the new system. It will afford ample fire protection and add! tlonal pressure for manufacturing con cerns, which depend a great deal on water for the operation of their ma chinery.

James F. 8ecor, builder of the Mare Island navy yard In San Francisco, the Pensacola yard and many of the monitors, iron-clads and drydocks which contributed so largely toward putting an end to the civil war, Is dead at his country home In Pelham Manor. He was 90 years old, and until with in a few hours of his death, he retained the mental clearness and physical vigor which had been the marvel of his friends for many years. Born In New Tork city, Mr. Secor early entered the shipyard which his father had founded here, and when the civil war began it was famous In the United States. Though he retired from active busi ness, which had embraced the presi dency of managing directorship of two western railroads, several years after the war, Mr. Secor was active up to the time of his death and devoted his declining years to the development and beautifying of his estate in Westches ter county. He took special delight In the old colonial mansion, once the prop erty of Lord Pelham, which came Into the hands of the Secor family three or four generations back. They had lost it, however, and the first use Mr, Secor made of his fortune was to buy In the otd home of his family. Largest Factory in Oregon Is in City of Astoria.
