It la probable that some definite action will be taken in the near future to prevent slides and the attending damage to the residence portion of the city. How it Happened. I'pon reliable nnd authoritative Infomatlon given this paper lust evening, It seems the ac count of the deplorable death of Hlram Gray, on the Flnvel dock on Tuesday night did not occur as reported. Mr. Gray arrived at the dock and ware house at 7 o'clock from this city and entered the dark warehouse nlone. He fell Into the bay through an opening In the warehouse floor, that had been left open from some cause, and met his death In the fall At 8:30 o'clock. Just one and one-half houro later, the Japnnese cook of one of the vessels berthed, there came ashore, nnd In passing through the warehouse met a similar fate at the Identical hole in the floor, Neither body has yet been found, though diligent search was maintained nil of yesterday. At the Star Notwithstanding the exceedingly Inclement weather last night, there was a very fair house at he Star nnd the entertainment was decidedly of an Interesting sort. There were five excellent vaudeville presen tations that were excellntly renderd nnd th selections from the Bohemian Girl were heartily received and as heartily encored. The evening's bill is among the best presented at this house during the present season and is wholly compensating, considering the moderate rates of admission. St. Marys Fair opens this evening. A chicken dinner will be served by the ladies from 5 to 9 p. m. Mayor Wise will deliver the opening address. An excellent program will be rendered by local talent. Tho Mack Swain com pany will assist, The children's con test will close at 9 p. m. No children will be allowed to solicit on the floor of the fair. Reed Building, Eleventh and Duane streets.

Seaside Convention A mass meet ing of the citizens of Seaside has been called for next Saturday night for the purpose of nominating un oppo sition ticket to the one nominated last week by the so-called citizens. At the meeting a mayor, recorder and police Judge and four councllmen will bo nominated. Railway Franchise The citizens of Seaside are indignant at the dilatory tactics of the common council rela tive to the street railway franchise granted to Mr. Dudley about a year ago. Mr. Dudley paid nothing for the franchise, and all he has to do Is to perform a little work each year to hold the franchise. He has placed ties along Bridge street so that they are an obstruction to that narrow thoroughfare and the council have made no efforts to cause their removal. The railway will probably never be built. Some merchants carry a lot of cheap clothes and offer them as bargains, but such stuff is dear at any price, even though it looks nice while new You cannot get pure gold at plated ware prices; real good clothes cost more but they give a heap site more satisfaction. The "SHOW ME" dispo sition should govern your conduct before you invest in fake bargains. For reliable merchandise see WATSON'S VISIONS STILL COME SEASIDE SIGNAL MAN TAKES AN OTHER FLIGHT INTO THE REALMS OF FANCY-DREAM HABIT FASTENING IT8ELF. Brer Watson, of the Seaside Signal, has had another vision, the basis of which la, as usual, Eugene Semple's rlver-and-ocean canal from Seaside to Hammond. It was a delightful dream and Just what might be expected would befall the cheerful Signal man; but one cannot withhold one's real sympathy for the victim, knowing, as all men do, that the nightmare of dis appointment is following fast on the seductive and alluring phantasy. No one begrudges him the indulgence In these rhapsodies, except his newspa per brethren, who deprecate the waste of his good time, when he might be writing sound and logical things of moment and interest Listen to his "dream"! "The editor had a dream last night, inspired by reading Governor Semple's articles on Seaside's ship canal and harbor, the practicability aye, the urgent need of which is apparent to any man with eyes to see. Now this editor never indulges In foolish or sil ly dreams, and he takes a good deal of stock in this dream because so many), others concerning matters of great public interest have been real ized. The editor Is not an engineer; but In his dreams last night he had built the Tillnmook Head breakwater, the funds had been raised by floating 3 per cent bonds, owners of the water front putting in their property for building piers and wharfs, as secur ity, a small percentage from wharf tolls and dock privileges being set aside to pay interest on the bonds and to create a sinking fund with which to pay the principal. Dan Moore's pier had been extended and built of con crete twelve other piers, situated at regular Intervals from the mouth of the Necanicm to the Seaside House, had been constructed; the new plank sidewalk had been transformed into the finest boulevard In the world, and reached from the mouth of the river to the point of Tillamook Head and was swarming with automobiles. Ev ery pier was a wharf from both sides of which steamers and sailing ves sels could load and discharge cargo from both sides, and each pier was the terminus of a transcontinental line of railway. An eighteen-story custom house occupied the ground where Kitterman's bathhouse now stands and all of West Seaside was the whole sale district of a city greater than that of New York. At the piers there were ships from- every port in the world, and the bay was alive with tugs shooting out Into the open sea or returning with ships in tow. The- Town of Seaside was tha retail busi ness district and it street weir lined with department stores, the poorest of them greater than anything: of tha kind ever seen before In the world. and everything was moving; along; like clock-work. During vacation time our people would run up to Portland or Seattle or down to 'Frlaco, just to get away from business for a breath ing spell. Astoria? Oh, yes! Aatorla was our residence suburb, where tha nabobs lived." W Are Buay and selling; great quantities of goods, but there are lots of line goods left yet, and we are selling the same at one-half and In many Instances at less than one fourth of the original cost Coma now, don't wait C.

T. P. Lauren, Owl Drug Store. Police Court Business was excep tionally good in the police court yes terday, notwithstanding the inclem ency of the weather. John Tanner made his second appearance in court on a charge of being drunk and was sent to the beanery for two days. Mau rice Hann, an able bodied man, about 35 years of age, and who is afflicted with constitutional weariness to the extent that work at any and all times causes him to suffer mental anguish and bodily pain, was. charged with begging on the streets. He claimed that he blew into Astoria from Red land, California. Judge Anderson stated that the county had all It could do to take care of Its own paupers, and he Imposed a $10 fine. Hann will board with the city for five days. Three gambling cases were called, each of which forfeited )25 ball.
