ASTORIA'S REGATTA Several New Features to be In troduced This Year. SOMETHING FOU THE FARMERS Proportion to Hold a County Fair In connection With the Regatta, Giving Farmeri an Opportunity to Kihibtt the Product! of their Farms. Although the regatta committee have not perfected all the detail for the an- nual regatta to be held on tbeftttk of,f T'- I "n,,aJr ln August, certain feature have been sug- ' Mr- K ''I'-apman, of Jai getel whh-h have aptaled to the com mit tj-e a worthy of .consideration. . Tl program for tlie water aporte ha not yet been made up, but it is certain that the principal event will be a fishing host race for which a bale of twine val ued at $143 will probably be given, with about four cah prize in addition ,mak- j ing It an object for the fishermen to partiiipate. Ttwre will no doubt be m fireman' tournament In connection with the html rt. which W alway an at tractive feature of regatta and bring a large crowd of people It ha been suggested tifst a county fair be held in connection with the re gatta. . Either rent a large building or fence oft a portion of Duane street from Tenth to Sixth, and have an exhibit of the product of Clatsop county. There i no doubt but what the farmers will participate, and send in product of (every variety, including dairy product. Sufllcient priw will probably be offer ed so a to make It an rnducernent for the farmer. Judge Bowlby ba been an enthusiastic advocate of tin feature and it is probabla that it will be turned over to him, with authority to appoint sub committees and make arrangement for 'the fair. Nothing definitely ha been agreed upon but suggestion are being offered which he committee will no doubt consider. The purpose of the committee Is to originate entirely new features, less expensive and whh-h will be more attractive, at the same time ad vertUe the resources of Clatsop county which ha never been done. Wry few people visiting the fair know little of Astoria, except that it I a fishing ham let somewhere near the ocean. There i nothing or record at the Portland fair to give them any information, but the advertising of a regatu will no doubt lie sufficient Inducement for thousand of Eastern visitor to visit Astoria dur ing the land and water carnival.

The forger, Brenner arrested Satur day night by the poli for uttering forged check on several of the most prominent merchant, wa interviewed yesterday. He refuted to make any statement, in fact, he ba not been informed on what charge he lias been arretcd. He stated that he came to Astoria on the Roanoke and that he worked bis passage up; that when he arrived here he had $7. In searching hi belongings the police found two pawn tickets on the New York Loan Office, of Portland, one for a Waltham watch, (7.00 and one for a diamond ring, (4.00. The. tickets are made out in the name of George Sullivan. MTien asked how he came in possession of tbem, be stated that he had met Sullivan down on the dock and they had been drinking to gether in the afternoon, and Sullivan gave them to him, saying that he was going to-leave and had no use for them. Among the effects were found a num ber of business cards from different cit ies; a book containing the names of merchants and firm in other cities and towns, showing that Benner is a -professional forger. When he was taken to .Tail Saturday night and searched he had $liS on him. A large number of his vk-tims did not know anything about the foregry until they read the Astoria n ian yesterday morning, when additional victims went to the police station with their forged checks. In addition to those mentioned yesterday, Nels Simonson, S. A. Gimre and Bod Jeffery have been in duced to part with money for the worth les- checks. The total amount of the forgeries so far discovered amounts to (216.00, show ing that Brenner had an easy graft and found no difficulty in cashing checks. It is probable that a soon as the cae i disposed of m tlie courts an , order will be made by Judge Mt-Bride, to pay the losers the flM pro rata. The forgeries are very clever.

A number of the Saturday night check cashera went to the city jail yesterday and identifies! Brenner as the man who has passed tha checks. He came from Denver to Cali fornia and from there to Astoria aaa! has probably worked several of the Cal ifornia cities . T . Astoria has been worked the past year by forgers' more than any other city on the coast, the checks always be ing passed Saturday nights, in order t give the forger a day in which to get out of the country. Merchants have beem repeatedly warned against eashing any checks on Saturday night, except for . persons they personally' know, but tha warning has had no effect, and the foryj- ' ed check industry will probably always thrive in Astoria. District - Attorney Allen will file informations against Brenner either today or tomorrow and! he will be arraigned in the justice court Another matter that has been conduct' ive to the propagation of check forgers, much leniency has been shown. In Cal- ' ifornia a forger gets not less than 29 years and from that to 40.
