COUNTY COURT GOES
TO ST. HELENS
DELEGATION OF PROMINENT CITI
ZENS ACCOMPANY COURT IN IN
TEREST OF CONTINUOUS ROAD
FROM PORTLAND TO SEASIDE.
The county court of Clatsop county
accompanied by a delegation of Astor
ian went to St. Helens yesterday to
attend a meeting of the county court
of that county. This party of Astorians
was composed of Comity Judge Tren
chard, County Commissioner Wui. Lar
sen, coiiiiioaiug the county court; and
11. C. Fulton. Heiman Pruel, F. L. Park
er, I". A. Stokes, FT A. Fiskc and J. II.
WiUy tc, manager of the Chamber of
Commerce. It was a very representative
delegation and their trip will be produc
tive of much good.
The mutter was brought before the
court lu a forceful manner by the dele
gation and an impression was made on
tho aubject. Judge Trenchard's known
ability regarding road making together
with Commissioner Lnrsen'e experience
ably backed by the influence and elo
quence of the balance of the party was
enough to satisfy the court of the desir
ability of the improvement. The court
acted in a very fair manner and listened
attentively and very little more will be
necessary to insure the doing of the
work.
There is 41 mile of road running
through Columbia county .and but 14
mile of this will need repair to make
it good for automobile. It will cost
about $45,000 to complete the work and
Mri Whyte stated to the court that he
thought that the Portland Automobile
Club would subscribe $15,000 towards the
improvement. Mir. Whyte agreed to call
on the club personally to induce them
to make the subscription and that he
was satisfied of success.
. Owing to the lateness of the season it
is thought that ' littlo can be accom
plished this year on account of inclem
ent weathor but that during next sum
mer the work can be finished and a con
tinuous road from Portland to Seaside
an actual fact. The delegation returned
on the train here at 0:40 last night high
ly plensed with the prospects and their
reception.

MAY INHERIT VAST ESTATE.
One Of Astoria' Businessmen Is Heir To
Part Of Trinity Church Property.
If the court in New York are gencr
on W. II Vincent the window dresser
in Mayor Wine tore, will be the weal
thiest man in Atoria. Should he come
into hi ow n as one of the direct heir of
Aueka Bogardus It U estimated that his
portion will be at leant $500,000. He is
entitled to thin wealth by being one of
the heir to the property on which Trin
ity Kplneopal Church of New York City,
stand, and which U now in the courts
for adjustment. , . , -
Mr, Vincent ha known of the likely
hood of hi inheriting a vast sum for a
long time, so long in fact, that be has
got ued to this sort of a castle in the
air and for year it has meant but little
to him. But from varioui reports now
it seems that the case will be settled and
that the heirs will get the estate.
But there are a good many heirs to
this estate and they are scattered all'
over the country. The number is placed
at 2000 and it will be hard work for the
attorney to find them all. It will l-o
be a stupendous task to look over all
the marriage, death-and birth record of
the heirs to establish just claims and it
will take a force of detective at work
to prevent impostor from trumping up
some sort of descendancy in order to
get a chance at the wealth.
The exact amount of the estate is not
known but 15 years ago the Trinity
Church property wa valued at $070,-
000, 0OO. Since that time the property
around it lut risen in value. The
church is located in the richest part of
the richest city of the world. It is pro
bably worth far over a billion dollars at
the present time. Placed as it is, right
in the crowded part of Wall street, where
the trade of the world is transacted, itt
exact value can not be determined. But
the heir to the property probably do
not care for an exact valuation; it will
be sulllcient enough to them to get what
is their due.
"Yes, I have known about the affair
for a long time," said Mr. Vincent yes
terday, "but it has been so long now
that I have ceased to pay much atten
tion to it except to note the progress of
the case from time to time. It ha gone
rather slowly and of course has not been
furnished yet, but at the present time
it looks like it will reach a favorable
conclusion. There are a great many heirs,
2000, but the value of the estate is great
enough to make them all rich for the
rest of their lives."
The question of the court to decide
is the legality of the lease and the title
to the property. Mr. Vincent is a di
rect descendant of Aneka Bogardii who
received the grant of land on which the
church is built from the Queen of Hol
land. Mr. Vincent's mother's father
was Isaac Peterson, who was a grand
son of Aneka Bogardus.
The land was leased to the Indians for
!'( years the consideration being 100
bushels of corn each year. In some way
in violation 0f tho leae Trinity Church
jjot the property nnd here the question
of right devolves; whether the church
has a just claim to the land and can
show an unbroken title. The treaty
and lease with the Indians is also a knot
ty question which the lawyers have been
lighting about for a long time.
But the case is reported to be near its
end after 35 years of litigation and Mr.
Vincent's friends hope that he may be
substantially recognized when the di
vision of the estate is made.
LOST HER WAY ON
HORSEBACK
MIS3 WILMA YOUNG, STARTING
FOR SEASIDE ON HORSEBACK,
ARRIVES AT HER DESTINATION
QUITE LATE.
Considerable anxiety was felt in As
toria on Wednesday night over the non
arrival of Miss Wilma Young at Seaside
for which place she had started during
the afternoon on horseback, Miss Young
is the daughter of our well known citi
zen, Benjamin Young, and being an ex
pert horsewoman, did not fear riding the
distance unaccompanied. Not arriving
act her destination in due time her folks
telephoned to the family home and
learning of her departure felt consid
erably worried fearing an accident had
befallen her. Her older brother, accom
panied by two friends, left here on horse
baok in search of her but owing to the
fact that they separated in their search
of different localities they missed her.
The telephone was used but to no pur
pose until mldniuht th oWriroi nw,

the woods. At the forks of the roads
she took the wrong road and a a result
went far out of her way. To add to her
trouble her horse picked up a splinter
and she was delayed for an hour and a
half by this cause. Getting started
again and proceeding slowly she met a
gentleman who safely escorted her to
her destination, they walking the horses
the balance of the way. Mis Young
was nearly exhausted when she reached
Seaside but yesterday morning had fully
recovered. The many friends of the
family who had heard of the matter
were pleased to hear of her safe
arrival.
THE TRI-CIT i LEAGUE
DIRECTORS MEET
DECIDE THAT PLAYERS MUST BE
SIGNED UP FIVE DAYS BEFORE
A GAME PROTESTS ASE DE
CIDED. Manager Fred Brown returned last
night from the Rose City where he at
tended the directors meeting of the Tri
City League. All of the directors, with
the exception of Hal Pomery, manager
of the Frakes team, who was out of
town, were present.
Manager Brown reports a very
successful meeting and that the condi
tion of the league is most prosperous.
Hereafter no team will be allowed. to
play any player without his being signed
five days previous to the day on which
he plays. This will keep up the organi
zation of the clubs and prevent men be
ing mm in at the last minute. This was
brought up by the Frakes-Kelso protest.
Kelso played Ericson and under the by
laws it was decided that Kelso had a
right to play the player but the direc
tors seeing the unadvisibility of con
tinuing this protest made the new ruU
lug.

What One Enjoys.
At Otto Sund's pretty and cosy resoxt
"The Commercial,'' one finds all that
the inner man desires in the refreshment
line and of the best quality too. To
pass a little time In such a neat jlac
and spend it in pleasant conversation
with genial friends, probably a little
business talk, is, to say the least, en
livening. Courteous treatment is an
other thing that is appreciated and one
receives it from Otto himself who takes
charge during the day and from his
pleasant night manager both of whom
dispense the best to be had. "The Com
mercial," 509 Commercial street, is well
known and widely patronized.
