Astoria's Reliable Clothier
Manianita Nearly Sinks It was only
by the determined efforts of the officers
and crew that the old United States
lighthouse tender Manzanlta did not
again go to the bottom of the Columbia
river, as she was being towed yester
day from Tongue Point to St. John's,
where she was placed on the drydock for
repairs. Although she waa equipped
with powerful pumps, moro water was
shipped during the passage than they
could possibly admit. While the pumps
were going to their full capacity me
chanics kept patching up the damaged
hold. Frequently it looked as though
the vessel would have to be abandoned.
She was In tow of the tug Samson, one
of the stanchest vessels of her type on I
the Coast. The tender dragged heav
ily on her. For 15 hours the members
of the crew worked ceaselessly to keep
her afloat. On reaching the drydock
they were completely exhausted.
Northshore Report. Editor C. C. Clin-

Gray's River Sensation The pleasant
ittlo northshore settlement of Gray's
River is in tho throes of a spicy sensa
tion in the elopmcnt, on Monday last,
of the wife of a well known citizen
with a half-breed employe in one of the
adjacent logging camps. The matter is
being kept "under the rose" as much as
(Hissible, but will develop as soon as
the angry husband shall locate the fly
ing couple, the last seen of whom was
when they went ashore on Monday night
from the Lurline at Stella.
Next Big Task The county board of
equalization having closed the review of
the tax roll of 1900, has tinned that
vital record over to County Clerk Clin
ton, who will proceed to extend and
copy the snmo under the law made and
provided in that behalf, one of the big
jobs of the public business of Clatsop;
after which all the various levies and
appropriations will be duly made by the
county court.
Just for Once Travelers from the me
tivpolis yestarday report that it was
delightfully wann and sunny up there,
and were surprised to come down here
and find such gloomy and sloppy
weather, but it is only for a brief sea

"beautiful spell' is yet to spread itself
over this neck of the woods.
PRESSED FREE
AT THE STAB,
"Mabel Heath" Played by WilUrd Com
pany Draws Big House.
The first performance of "Mabel
Heath'' drew a well filled house at the
Star last night, the beautiful story was
splendidly staged and well told by Mr.
Willard and his company, Mr. Willard
appearing in an Irish character, a part
quite different from what he has yet ap
peared in, was exceedingly funny and
kept the audience in roars of laughter
whenever he appeared and the comedy
in his hands was well sustained. Mr.
Bianchard, as the father of "Mabel
Heath,'' gave us some splendid acting
and h'"s scenes with his daughter were
very touching. Miss Shepard, as the
daughter, was verv fine and carried her
part to perfection. Miss Dunn as the
lively "Sadie" was all that could be de
sired and helped with Mr. Elton, who
appeared in another of his "dude" parts,
to keep the fun rolling. Verne Lay ton
as "Frank Lawton," the villian of the
piece, was again up to the standard, and
got all there was out of'the part.
For the Far East Mr. and Mrs. J
W. Welch and Mr. J, E. Higgins and
Miss Higgins were passengers on Cue
evening express for Portland, whence
they will depart on Saturday, tomorrow.

via the Canadian Pacific. Mr. and Miss
Higgins will be gone for a month and
Mr. and Mrs. Welch will be absent for

ing Mr. Welch's absence from the city
his business will be attended to by his
brother, D. H. Welch, at the Commer
cial street office.
