ASTORIAYQUNGBOYS
Complaint Made to Police of Dev
. iltry Practiced by Kids.
ARE CREATING NUISANCES
Th Slrwl Car Company Will Diaeoi'
tinu Its Waiting Room in Aldtr
brook for the Roason That the
Boys Hava Ma da It Filthy.
i That there are a larg number of
bad boys tn Astoria Is attested by the
fact that vandalism Is on the increase;
nightly depredations are committed
and In most instances by young- boys
ranging from It to 18 years of age.
Tha parents of these boys seem to have
no control over them. "or If they do,
their time is too much occupied in at
tending to society functions to at
tend to duties at home. Complaints
are made daily to. the police of devil
ment and malicious mischief Indulged
in by these boya The mischief is com
mitted on the hills and outlying dis
tricts, where there are no policemen.
The only way a police officer can catch
the average Astoria boy is waen he is
asleep.
Complaint is made that the electric
lights In the resident districts are out
a great portion of the time. This is
caused by the nall boys catching
hold of the ropes used for drawing up
the arc lights, and shaking ihim,
breaking the carbons. Probably the
most,. contemptible tricks played by
these boys is at the walking room of
the street car company In Alderbrook.
Toung boys and even young men com
mit nuisances in the waiting room, and
it is dirty, filthy and nauseating, so
much so that women are compelled to
stand out in the rain waiting for a
street car, rather than go in the build
ing. The nuisance has become so in
tolerable that the street car company is
going to tear down the waiting room.
As long as It is unfit to. be used by
women, it is not necessary as a nuisance-breeding
spot for the Upper As
toria hoodlums.
Merchants and others who employ
young boys complain about the habits
of the boys. Many of them are un
reliable," others are filthy in their hab
its, and a large number are dishonest
It is almost impossible to secure the
services of a reliable boy in any busi
ness in the city. Halt of tnem are
cigarette fiends,, and their disgusting
habits will not be-tolerated by those
desiring to employ them. The parents
do not seem 'to tare and have evident
ly lost all control over the boys. Tbey
are allowed on the streets at all hours
of the, night nd .receive a street edu
cation, Many i of 'them swear 'like
pirates, and think It 'is smart. It
shows a lack of home influence and
home training. It would be far 'bet
ter to stop sending money and mis
slonarles to foreign countries when As
toria is overcrowded with young heath'
ens who need attention.
of the church served a banquet to the
visitors and members yesterday after
noon, which was enjoyed by a large
number. Rev. Mahone was called to
the pastorate ' ot the Congregational
church about six ' months ago, and
through, his earnest efforts and con
scientious work the church has in
creased In membership, Mr. Mahone
is a persona) friends of . President
Roosevelt, and was .married In Cali
fornia during the president's visit to
that state, the president attending the
wedding. The people ot Astoria are
to be congratulated upon .securing an
exemplary Christian gentleman and a
scholarly pulpit orator.

force the train had reached the next
station, Gould drew a revolver an J
fired two shots.

other coaches of the train. The train
crew telephoned to the police, asking
for an ambulance to meet the train
at Marshalfleld station. They then
hurried the wounded man to that sta
tion without making stops.

rendered himself to the police. Mrs.
Gould, who met the train at the sta
tion, was locked up with her husband.

ILWACO NEWS.
Me-
Interesting Happenings from the
tropolis of Pacific County.
The Ihvaco fishermen are taking an
interest in fishing legislation, and sev
eral prominent citizens have been ai
Olympla the past week.
The Warren Packing Company sent
a crew of men here to build some net
racks on property claimed by A. E.
King. Work has been stopped pend
ing a settlement of the dispute.
An Ilwaca woman who has lost
track of her husband offers a reward of
$20 for his return, dead or alive. Can
you guess why he left home?
An Ilwaco minlter visited a man
who had evidently gotten the worst of
a fistic encounter, and told the man
that he intended to pray that i he for
give Casey for throwing the brick.
"Mebbe, yer rlv-rence," said the fpa
tlent, " 'ud be saving tolme if ye'd Just
wait till 01 git well an' then pray
for Casey."
"And Is that the ocean out there?"!
said a friend to N. C. Koefoed, who
had Just arrived In Ilwaco from a mid
dle state. "Yes," said Nick, proudly,
"it was named after our county."
An amusing incident occurred at W.
B. Hawkins' meat market a few days
ago. Hawkins was asked by a young
mother to weigh her boy. He put the
little one on the scales and glancing
at the dial remarked, "just 9 pounds,
bones nud all. Shall I remove the
bones?" . .
