THE M011NING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JULY ji, 1907. WHAT IS HEARD ON THE STREETS, , Stories Told by Prominent People of AstorU Who Know Many Odd Experience A traveling man was discussing As- toria in the Occident the other evening. "I have traveled around a great deal aid he: "I have traveled around a great deal and have seen several cities, and I must say that you have the most beautiful ladies to be found on the coast. But the men: don't you know that they are the homeliest set I ever got my eyes on. Some objection was made to this statement by an Astorian when the traveling man continued, "Why I over heard some young ladies talking, on the street corner today and they said that there were only two good looking young men in town." "Did you hear their names!" asked the Astoria man. "Yes," said he, "they are Frank Ward and Dell Scully." Dr. Fulton was busy the other day in writing a treatise on appendicitis when ' he was interrupted by a visitor who in formed the doctor that he had come to seek information. "Doctor," the visitor said, "is it true, as I have heard, that there are two tubes in the throat to the stomach, one to carry solid food and the other for liquid food?" "Oh, yes," replied the M. D. "There is the aesophagus and the epiglottis. When solid food is be ing conveyed to the stomach the epilottis closes and esophagus opens and when liquid food is partaken of the epiglottis open and the esophagus closes separat ing the liquid from the solid ifood." "Say, Doc, is that right that those flappers work that way! The solid food goes down one tube and the liquid food down another!" "Oh, yes." was the answer. The visitor was seized with an uncon trollable fit of laughter and the physi cian think that he had a hysterical pa tient on his hands reached for a bottle of asafedita. "Never mind, Doc, 1 don't need that, I was just laughing to think of what I saw this morning. I was down at the Palace restaurant and a man was eating mush ml milk.

E. Selig yesterday afternoon as we mopped J our forehead. "It isn't a marker to j wht I have experienced in Kansas, ( Y),Vt jt)n't you know that at one time ' hile there I started a popcorn patch 'and I had it going in good shape. One ST (bout tn time the ears of corn ,ww forming a hot wave came up, and would you believe it, before night the ears matured and popped light on the stalks. The heat set Are to our j mn anj ft pe mule we Jiad was de- prived of his home. He went down to the cornfield that night and seeing the popped com on the ground thought that it was 1 now and layed down tad frote to death. 'I lud a little hot weather experience myself," said Frank Parker. "I was in Kansas, too, at onetime, and started a chicken ranch, but the weather was so infernally hot that we had to feed the chickens on chopped ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs. We couldnt make any money on that so we tried to raise a breed of chickens that wouldn't need the chopped ice. I placed Chin nest eggs under the chickens but it was no use. Every chicken that was hatched had glass eyes and we had to have men a'eed them anyhow so we had to give it np." The crowd dispersed quietly, some what subdued. S! DONE BY DEED.

After discharging oil cargo at Portland the steamship W. S. Porter dropped down the river yesterday morning and cleared to Gaviots, C'aL The tug Volga, which is on a run be tween Astoria and Chinook, suffered a slight accident to the machiney which laid her up yesterday. The damage is expected to be repaired today and the interrupted schedule continued.

The steamer Alliauce, Captain Oleson, arrived from Coos Hay yesterday after noon at 4:20 ami left up the river at 4.2o. On hi, return trip down the river .she will arrive at Astoria at 7 a. m., Sunday morning, August 4, and proceed ut once for Coo Bay. Steamship Costa Rica, Captain Mason, le:t out yesterdav for San Francisco with freight and passengers. Columbia river products are sent to every part of the world nnd every day valuable cargo are passing out over the bar to foreign lands, which are depend ing more and more 011 the industries in and around Atoriu, and where they will be used in the life of those tioreign lands. One of the ships that cleared from Astoria harbor yesterday was the American barkentine Cheliali", which carries lumber to Chile. .She took out a cargo of 7 7(1. j hi 01 rough lumber val ued ut 11,2110. The lumber was loaded at the Knappton mills and consigned to Autofagasta, Chile. The steamship A-mn ion, with a cargo c( oil. entered the port yesterday mom ing and went up the river to Portland. F. P. Bauuigartner, tfie Portland agent, has been advised that the steamer Redondo will arrive from Puget Sound tomorrow with 1500 barrels of lime and 000 tons of coal. It will be the first time the craft has arrived from the North with anything like a lull cargo, and the company oflieins are very much encouraged over the outlook. Announce ment is made that arrangements will soon be made for the Redondo to bring large quantities of coal and lime from the Sound on every trip. Out 177 days from London for Astoria and Portland, the German ship Siam has been on the passage longer than the most of the square-riggers which sail from European ports for the Pacific Coast. Unless she soon arrives the ship will lie placed on the over due list. She is bringing a general cargo, consigned to Meyer, Wilson & Co. of Portland. Her long passage has not caused arty particular anxiety so far, but the con signees would like her to put in an ap pearance immediately, as her freight is badly needed. For some reason the most of the ships coming from Europe this season are making unusually long passages. Captain A. Crowe has been retained "by marine underwriters to make spe cial inspections of a large number of the river boats plying out of (Portland whose owners are having them insured against fire and accidents of every sort. Until recently only the Govern ment inspections were deemed necessary to satisfy the insurance companies that the craft are in good serviceable condi tion. Consequently, the employment of a private inspector is looked upon as something very much out of the ordi nary. According to Captain Crowe, the owners of the river boats appear to be more in a unit than ever before of having their boats insured against ac cidents. During the past few days he has looked over a big fleet, and states that many other small boats are await ing his inspection. The captain is offic ial surveyor for the underwriters who make at a business of taking out risks on the coasters engaged in the lumber trade out of this port, CA1I1LLE" IS A SUC CESS LEB WILtARD COMPANY PRODUCES NEW PERFORMANCE TO LARGE AUDIENCE AT ASTORIA THEATER "Caiuillo was presented to Astorian by the Lee Willard Company at the Astoria Theater hist night with Mls Kthel Hubert t, the talented joung Re tro u the star. A good-siicd house turned out to see the performance which was a pronounced success. Mr. Willard portrayed the part of Armand Duval, while Sidney II. Payne took the part of Count de Vaville, The other diameter in the perfoiumnce were all that could be deired. The stage setting was all new- and added to the play to great advantage. T do justice to a play of such char acter a "Camille," written by Alex ander Dumas, Jr., required considerable delicacy and tact, which the company posaeeses to a considerable degree, "Camille,'' it a woman of the Parisian "half world," as anybody wKo has read the book will know, and until she meet Armand Duval, the son of a proud old French noble, she enjoys life only women of her style can. She is the mistress of Court de Var ville, who keeps her in a splendid mail' sion and caters to her wihes by show ing presents and attention upon her which she accept contemptuously along with attention from numerous others admirers, She is t the heigth of dis sipnted life when young Armand is in troduced to her. . His real love touches her and she Ira 1 111 to love him in return, lie de sire Camille to gly "P everything for him and alter several interesting scenes he leaves Pari with him to live quiet ly with him in mi obscure place in the country. The following passages of the play illustrate how they tire of each other1, the woman returning to her caprices and young Duval losing all ambition and becoming prematurely old. The The moral of the play Appears to lie tbut a young man of Duval's character nnd a woman who ha lived ns Camille cannot settle down to a prosaic life with any pretensions to contentment. There will be a performance of the play tonight and tomoitovv night. S PERSONAL MENTION. .Mr. Chas. E. Gray is visiting her mother, Mrs. A. W. Parry and Mrs. Geo. A.
