I
NQUIRY
COMMAHDER J.-P. WERUCH, U. S
IT, PASSES THKOUGH IBIS CITY
EN SOXTTE TO PTJGET SOUND
, CONFERS WITH PHOTS.
Commander J. P. AYerlicb, U. S. X,
commanding ofllcer of the Thirteenth
Lighthouse District, fcrrled in thia city
from Portland yesterday afternoon on
an official tour of inquiry and lnvtiga
tion into condition and need. He came
down on the H;0 express, alighting at
Tongue Point, where the lighthouse ten'
dn Heather waa awaiting him for a
crui to Tatoosh Island in Puget Sound.
. When the Heather reached thia city
from the buoy station at Tongue Point,
Commander Werlich went directly to
the office of the Columbia River Bar
Pilots' Association, for the purpose of
discussing with that group of mariners
tie necessities incident to the establsh
merit of the range lights desired here as
an aid in entering this port, the range
to include Sand Island and FlaveL As
it happened that there were but three
or four of the pilots ashore at the hour
of his call, it was agreed that he shall
meet them again on hie return from
Puget Sound, when more of them might
be at hand to express their opinions as
to the exact requirements of the new
aid. .
Commander Wertich expressed himself
as perfectly twilling to meet the wishes
of the pilots, and people of this port,
in any way at all, so long as there ii
money at his disposal and authority for
its application to the projects most
needed. The question of the new range
lights was gone into quite thoroughly
,by all present and there is no doubt of
their being put into service just as
soon as he can confer conclusively with
the majority of the pilots association.
T After the meeting adjourned that
officer went at once aboard the Heather,
and she sailed for the Sound, where
Commander Werlkh will look fnto a case
of non-service of the whistling buoy near
there, and adjust it so that it may be
heard in all directions instead of just
one aa at present He will return to
this port when he has disposed of this
matter. ...... .

ASTORIA IS AGAIN
VICTORIOUS
HOKE TEAM WINS FROM BUNKER
HILL Or PORTLAND THOUGH BY
A CLOSE SCORE -HOME TEAM
PLAYS AT ABERDEEN NOV. 17TE
The Astoria football eleven defeated
the Bunker Hill team of Portland in a
lively and interesting gams, Sunday by
the close score of 1 1 to 10.
The game was called at 2:43 and was
supposed to be played la two 23-mtnute
halves, with a 10-tumute interval, but
owing to the hard, dry condition of the
field, and the rough, hard playing,
number of players on both sides were
more or less injured and enough time
was taken out to cause the game to last
until 4:20 o'clock.
The Portland boys were outweighed
by the local team, but made up for
light weight ty their clever team work
and speedy plays.
The game waa marked by a number
of unnecessarily rough plays and some
slugging was indulged in.
One Bunker Hill man was carried from
the field in the second half and waa out
of play for the balance of the game.
Upshur went In as right half back in
the second half, and made a grand stand
play by saving ths game at the last
moment by a tackle of Portland's full
back, who waa running toward goal and
had passed all the other Astoria men.
Other star plays were made for Astoria
by Morrison, left tackle; Steblck, full
back, and H. Larsen, left guard.
The boys all worked hard and deserve
great credit. With a little more prac
tice on team work and pausing they will
put up a strong game of ball against all
comer.
Chief Gammal acted as referee and his
decisions deflected credit upon himself
and Astoria and were satisfactory to all
concerned. Offiqers Houghton and Oberg
kept the field clear of excited specta
tors and rooters.
The home team will go to Aberdeen
next Saturday night and will play the
Gray's Harbor boys at that place.
