Horn for a Few Days
Mayor Herman Wise surprised
his many friends in this city by sud
denly appearing at his big store here
yesterday mornng, when everybody
thought him in Southern Oregon, but
he came back in a hurry, thinking
he might be useful in the negotia
tions for the entry of the great
Schwarzchild-Sulzbcrgcr interests in
this city, and did some good work
in this behalf at Portland. He is
much better than when he left here
for his outing, and he says if he can
secure such an accession to Astoria
as the coming of such a concern he
will be 6nly too glat to stay right
here and get back his health on the
sheer strength of such a victory.
Shifting Big Money
With a turn-over to the treasury
of the county yesterday of $152,
504.08, and $4,607.13, together with
the three previous payments made in
this behalf. Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy
will tonight have turned over all of
the rebated tax collected on the 1907
rolls of Clatsop, to wit: $210,812.74.
The rebate on which figures at $6
455.58. Considering that the rolls
were two weeks behind time in
reaching the tax collector's office,
beats last year's by approximately
three weeks, and speaks splendidly
for the methods pursued in handling
the big business. Of this sum the
city of Astoria gets $28,154.64. It is
a very creditable showing in the way
of despatch and good care, in the
disposition of a transaction of such
moment to the people.
O nan Official Tour
The private car of Chief Engineer
W. C. Darling of the Northern Pa
cific was attached to the noon ex
Dress from Portland on Sunday last
and was occupied by his colleagues
and guests, though he himself was
not of the party. Those on tour were
M. P. Martin, comptroller of , the
Oregon Improvement Company, Ta
coma; W. II. Gemwell, general man
ager of the M. & I. railway, of Brain
ard. Minn.; O. C. Greene, superin
tendent of telegraphs of the N P.,
of St. Paul, Minn.; H. E. Still, assis
tant general freight agent of the N.
P., of St Paul, Minn. The party
were simply going over the lines of
the A. & C. to post fhemselves as to
the scope of the property and the
visit had no unusual significance of
any sort.
Resisting An Officer
-"Faddy" Lynch, who poses as the
Pooh-Bah of Astor street, made an
unsuccessful appeal to Officer
Houghton last evening to reverse an
order given a certain man to leave
town. Upon being "turned down"
he roundly abused the officer, declar
ing that he couldn't arrest him. The
officer told "Paddy" he was under
arrest and took hold of him. Quick
as a flash he wrenched the officer's
hold and started to run. It was no
foot-race, as the officer told him he
would eventually get him. Paddy
ran into a shop on Bond street and
Officer Houghton walked in and
took off his mit and walked the be
ligcient Mr. Lynch to the city bas
tilc. He will have an opportunity 'to
explain his misconduct to Judge An
derson this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The Herd on Parade,
At high noon yesterday, just as
everybody was quitting work prep
aratory to hiking out for lunch, the
ring and rythme of band music
smote the popular ear, and in a few
moments all hands were lined up on
Commercial, Bond and other thor
oughfares and gazing at the elabor
ately garbed Elk herd of fifty, in
derbies and coats of dove color and
black velvet facings, swinging along
with the step and bearing of veteran
minstrels to the lively strains of
martial music. They never cracked
a smile as the hailing and howling of
their friends along the line of march
were poured in upon them in em
barrassing volume. The whole thing
did not last twenty minutes, but it
was a fine prelude to a finer show
given by that great fraternity last
night at the Astoria.
Sued For a Million
' Papers were served on the editor
of the Morning Astorian yesterday
in a suit instituted by Will Madison,
for libel, the offense and wrong con
sisting in publishing the present-

ment of W. M. as a first class "coon",
and the sum demanded in placation
was a cool million of dollars, Mr.
Madison can take his million, by de
fault. The Astorian declines to ap
pear in so pitiful a transaction, and
rejoices that it has avoided annihila
tion by the populace in so disguis
ing the plaintiff that his normal and
natural ugliness was not apparent
The picture complained of flattered
Mr. Madison lavishly and was pub
lished with the sole purpose of miti
gating the feelinngs of a sensitive
public. Bill will never make a mil
Ion so easily as in this case, snce the
Astorian was never in so adequate a
situation, financially, to pay it.
Clatsop Straightening Up
County Treasurer W. A. Sherman
of this county will utter a formal call
today for unpaid warrants in the un
usually large sum of $75,000. Of this
sum $S0,000 is for general fund war
rants, and $25,000 to meet and cover
the last dollar of indebtedness on
the new courthouse. The general
fund call brings the county within
just one year of her , outstanding ob
ligations, to April 1, 1907; and with
Treasurer Sherman expects, with
the April tax collections, to call up
at least two months more of the out
standing debt, so that with the dawn
of May old Clatsop will be within
ten months of her elimination from
debt; a condition that speaks thor
oughly well for the administration
of the county's affairs. The fact
that the splendid courthouse, but just
finished, is absolutely paid for, will
be good news to the whole people,
and the showing for an early release
on the balance of the public debt,
will have a cheering effect also.
