The board of director of the Astoria high achool dis trict have not taken innp judgment on teh authority given it recently, to ex pend an extra $10,000 on the removal ii ml renovation of Uie MuClure school building, and it mny be that they will not put the money out at all. It seems, that in order to make a bad matter worie, he board ordered a nerien of holes drilled along the, west and south line of the M'hol lot, to note the condition of tho ground to which it was proposed that the building be moved to avoid the sliding earth it was so essential to "- ape, and it was found that the new ter ritory was practically as bad ns that they wished to abandon. Water was was found within three feet of tho uv face and a sub-soil of soap stone was la so discovered underlying the spot to which they desired to move the build ing. The board now has the whole ipies. t ion under contemplation, nnd it may be they will order the whole lot carefully tiled, nnd that complete and rigid drain ing, amplified by the erection of a new stone, foundation under the northeast corner of the bttlding, well extended out It nnd west, the foundation curried down to a depth of fifteen or twenty feet to the bed rock known to be there, will obviate the co-tlier process of re moving the entire structure. The board has not yet determined just what step it will take, but if the last named iv poiuce will answer all purposes in view, it will be followed to a conclusion and the ten (hou'und dollura allowed to re nin in hi the siiioo treusury fur ulher use, Slum Contract. - W, A. fioodin yester day signed the contract for the clear ing of the right of way on Irving ave nue betewwen Kigbteeiilh and tho Adiiir line.

The re-ult of the trip will probably be given at the next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Crushed to Death. 4n her way to I'oitland oil Monday night last the Btcumcr l.urline wa- hailed into the' landing at Midway, where she took on, board, destined for the hospital at! Portland, n poor fellow by the name of, die i ileum, a logger in the Benson I camp back from tli- liver nt that point, j who was sulTering untold agony from the fearful ciu-hing dealt him by a polling fog that overtook him while nt work a few hour- previmi". He bore his agony as manfully nnd as long as he could, but in three hours from the time he was placed iu a berth, lie succumbed to the strain and gave up the ghost. He was taken on the metropolis and turned over to the proper authorities. Mystery of the Sea Early on Mon day morning last a fishing boat of the ordinary type and size was noted from the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river floating keel tip on the Iwistrous tides that roared back and forth on the. bar. As soon as possible word was sent J to the Cape Adams life saving Btation at Hammond, and yesterday morning about 10 o'clock the boat and crew from there started out to pick up the derelict and look for such evidences as might indicate the ownership, or home-locality of thej boat, or furnish some sign of its last; occupancy. After diligent search the ' bout was found at a point midway be tween the jetty and the bar, but not a thing remained to lend a clue of any sort to the men and things that had gone before. It was without trace or mark of any description to tell where it came from, the only testimony it yield- j ed, being that it was a regular fishing, bontt such as is in common use here j and all along the Pacific Coast, beyond j which nothing was determinable. The boat was hauled alongside the jetty and lifted up to the deck thereof, where it i.i,, tu laoltiiwif In fnlllt-M nliiim Al the unravelling of its mystery. It is a com-! parntively new boat and minus all gear of every sort, even it rudder having disappeared. Inquiry at authoritative Hources in the ll-liing circles about here, adds 110 definite information to the problem of its abandonment or the fate of tha people last on board of it.
