May Chang the Plan. 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

Doing Good Work. - The Fourth of

way of contributions for the coming

expected, though the engineers state
that much more money will be needed

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.
