Alwaya Welcome. P. 8. Hates, the
well known editor and proprietor of the
Pacific Northwest, of Portland, arrived
in Astoria yeterdy direct from Tilla
mook. He say it i absolutely essen
tial for Tillamook and Axtoria that the
magnificent indutrial Acids of the Tilla
mook country shall be opened up to
quick communication with the outside
markets, and that the A. A C. railroad
extension will be a great thing for both
countries. Mr. Itute want to name a
girl nominee for hi free-trip to the
Jamestown exposition next year, from
Clatop county, and it may develop in a
few days who is to be the contestant.
Word from South Ttand saya that
politically things are becoming very
interesting In Paclflo county. The fight
centers on state senator, there being,
to date, six candidates John T. Welsh,
the prenent state senator, is after re-
nomination, and B. A, Seaborg, of
Kksmokawai W. R. Williams, of Chi
nook) J. (i, Megler, of Urookflcld, and
W, H, Ikiiicr and J. W. Kled. of South
ISond.
For the ollices of county attorney and
sheriff there are many aspirants. For
county attorney, John I. O'PLnlan, Judgj
Sol Smith and A. K. ItuOiu are candi
date, while W. M. Round, of Icbam, is
a candidate againt A. B. McDonald for
sheriff. ,.
A surprise was sprung when Mi
Jiwlo Jluh tba present county superin
tendent of school, announced that she
Is not a candidate for renomination.
There will now 1 a scramble for this
(, and Prof. Oreenway, who Is now
living in Seattle, and ha had charge
of the Menlo school, of this county,
may enter the race.
Deputy County Treasurer J, H Stout
and Ajojctwor Aker both want to be
county traiurer, while A. W. Dodwrll
is alone for surveyor. County Clerk
Seaborg and Deputy Auditor Dslton will
lock horns for the auditor's ehalr. and

bs his eye on the county clerk's office.
Itay Wheaton, of the Willapa Valley
country, wants to lie commiioner for
his territory. For representative the
field is still open.
The above candidates are for the re
publican ticket alone, and are the only
ones yet heard from. Owing to the
large republican msjority in Pacific
county, It is not likely that there will
he other" candidate,, ,,
Of the above it i hard to pick the
winners at this time. On the average,
all are unuually strong men. County
Auditor Leonard and County Treasurer
Hudler are out of the race. These two
men have been the bet of officials, and
are known all over the state, and vol
iintarily step out with enviable honors.
A notable thing about it all is the good
feeling and "Roosevelt style" of cam
paigning of the aspirants.
The water commission met last night
in the office of the water clerk in the
city hall, with all excepting Brix pres
ent. There was hardly anything of con-
seouence'tran'acted, though the begin
ning ha promixe of definite action be
ing taken with reference to the reservoir
proposition. This matter however, was
not definitely decided on, as the cornmls-,
slon feci it bent to proceed on such an
important matter with extreme cau
tion.
After a great deal of discussion in
an effort to discover what were the var
ious opinions of the respective mem
bers, It was decided to submit a propo
sition to Engineer Adams of Portland
and Engineers Young A Keley. of that
city, asking the terms, which these gen
tlemen would give in regard to the con
struction of the new reervoir, and what
they would charge to give an opinion
on the present condition of the pipe line.
The monthly report of the clerk was
read and ordered filed. The treasurer
reported a balance on hand of $10,964.01.
The superintendent in hU report rec
ommended that the hours for lawn
sprinkling be from six to nine in the
morning, and five to eight in the even
ing. The report was ordered placed
on Ale.
The action of the chairman and clerk
in paying the monthly pay roll amount
ing to 11237.73, was endorsed.
Bills for July to the amount of $498.07
were ordered paid.
A petition from property ownera on
Grand avenue asking that a main hi
installed on Grand avenue between Sev
enth and Eleventh streets, was read and
laid on the table.
Superintendent Bergsvik reported that
Contractor Goodia had not complied with
the specifications In the clearing of the
reservoir tract and that the work was
not done according to contract. This
was submitted together with a request
J by Goodin for the payment of $500 on
account of the work done. The commis
sion directed that Mr. Goodin be paid
the $500 and that his contract time for
the completion of the work be extended
ten days so that he could comply with
the provisions of his contract
It was Uo directed that the super
intendent be empowered to have the
needed work in the way of repaira done
on the power house.

Has Eased Up Some. The Astoria 1
Columbia River Railroad people report
the cheerful intelligence that the car
shortage has cased up to such an ex
tent, for them, as to permit the opera
tion of an extra freight line out of here
every day now, and it is expected this
will hold good until the new grain crop
begins to move, when another squeeze
may be looked for; but for the time
being this road is comfortably fixed for
cars, though old orders are taking pre
cedence, of course, and new shipments
have to await the return of empties.
Trying Him Out Sheriff Pomcroy has
Olof Petersen, the ex-poundmaster of
the city, whose mind has become un
hinged lately from the excessive use of
"dope," in the county jail, and under

from the lapse and take a new lease
on life nud comfort. If he does not
improve perceptibly in a few days, he
will be subjected to formal commitment
to the State Asylum' for Insane.

The sockeye salmon run on the Sound
has commenced in earnest, according to
the reports rweived by packers and
brokers in Seattle! The pack from the
usual early, straggling run, which has
been on for the past twojpr three weeks,
is estimated at between 60.000 and 70.-
000 cases, which is nearly equal to tho
pack of four years ago, the comparative
season, foi the same period of time.
The fish are in the strait in large shoals,
and are reported working in toward tha
regular course in the annual movement
to the spawning grounds of the Fraser
river.
Estimates on the total pack at this
time are at variance, some of the pack
ers holding to the opinion that it will
equal four years ago, and others that it
will fall short. At this time there is no
W4iy of estimating the length ' of time
the present run will last. If the packing
continues for five or six days on the
same basis as yesterday, the output for
the season will be nearly equal that of
1902, which was slightly In excesa of
300,000 cases.
Up to last Wednesday the largest
number of sockeye taken in one trap
for a single day's fishing was 11,000.
This catch was made by a trap on
Strawberry bay, Cook's Cherry point
trap took 10.000 fish for one day's fish
ing on Monday.
The reports from the canneries, which
are submitted each week by the opera
tors to each other for comparison, show
that up to the present the smaller con
cerns have kept well up with former
records for light; yews.

"MONTE CRIST0."
Star
Theatre Again Packed to
Dumas' Famous Creation.
See
The Star theatre was again packed to
witness the second performance of Monte
Cristo by the Lee Willard Company. Mr.
Wilkrd demonstrated once more that ha
is a finished actor of no mean order,
and heartily earned the applause bestow
ed upon him.
In fact nothing too highly can be said
of the performance, and with the addi
tion of five new people, it is an aggre-
tion the Astoria people can well be
proud of, and which they are patroniz
ing very freely. Don't fail to see "Monte
Cristo. or you will miss the treat of
the season.
