been gone three daya They tell a
thrilling story of hardship and disaster.
Johnson broke his life preserver which
he carried In a side pocket, and then
there wasn't enough to go around, and
th party suffered the pangs of an ex
cruciating thirst
Cook turned so blue with the cold
that his dog wouldn't recognize him,
and the only bright spot on the whole
trip was when McLean ran down a
lame duck on the beach and killed It
with a single blow with his gun bar
rels. House says he "got a rail," but
the others say he refers to a fence rail
that broke and poked him In the dia
phragm. They got no snipe, at least nobody
saw any of them, and local Nlmrods
have decided to wait until next season
before going after Jacks. The party
report ducks scarce, but the market
hunter are making a fair living yet.

Yeung Man Arrested for Snowballing

With the first snow of the season
yesterday, heedless boys and young
men made life miserable for each other
on Commercial street, and then turned
their attention to passing pedestrian.
Men succeeded in weathering the storm
all right, but considerable annoyance
was occasioned passing ladles and girls,
until finally a man riding with his wife
was made a target and promptly hunt
ed a policeman down and had one
young man, named Lowell, arrested
The effect waa wholesome and women
and girls were not further molested.

Girl Prefer Danes Hall to Her Moth

A pathetic case that has come to the
attention of the sheriff Is that of a
young girl In one of the red light dance
halls. She came here a few weeks ago,
having left her home in Portland, and
went Into the dive. Her mother
searched for her. and finally located
her with the assltance of the sheriff
The sheriff took the girl to his office
and allowed the mother to talk to her,
The girl finally consented to return to
her home, and went back to Portland,
but a few days later she returned to
Astoria, and now the mother is her
again trying to get her to go home.
The girl is over 18 years old. and the
authorities cannot assist the mother,
though they would do so with good
grace were there any law that could
nd the girl home Instead of to jail.
