50c a Pound,
The Morning Astorian is pleased
to announce, on the authority of E.
M. Baker, owner of the Star Theatre
property at the corner of Eleventh
and Commercial streets, that negotia
tion arc underway for the Immediate
demolition of that building and the
early construction of a splendid four
(or five) storied reinforced cement
block covering the entire area, SO by
100 feet, and costing from $100,000
to $125,000. The ground floor will be
devoted to cveral handsome and
modern stores and the upper floor
to an ideal apartment house.
The plan for the building have
been decided upon and are now in
process of draughting, and will in
clude a provision for the fifth story,
if it shall not be incorporated in the
original structure, a matter that Mr.
Baker has not yet determined. He
is about to close a deal with Mr.
Fritz, the lesce of the theatre, for the
relinquishment of the unexpired 18
months of the lease held on that es
tablishment; and has already made
full arrangements with Leandcr Le
beck, of this city, for the driving of
the foundation piling. There will be
no unnecessary delay in the prosecu
tion of this fine improvement and Mr.
Baker is making it after deep study
and deliberation as to the future
value of such a pronounced invest
ment, his conclusion being that As
toria is as good a point as any on
the coast and plenty of encouraging
sign to warrant the determination.
He ia confident the investment will
pay steadily and handsomely and is
backing his judgment to the limit.
It will be the first structure to be
built here for the matter named and
of any pretention, and is likely to set
the pace for the further employment
of the cement block in such new en
terprises a shall develop in Astoria.
His ambition and confidence are to
be commended, and the city is to be
congratulated on the acquisition in
store ,as it will rank among the very
finest of her new and modern equip
ment in this line, being, as it is,
upon the most conspicuous of her
down-town commercial properties.
VERY GRAVELY ILL.
Collector of Customs Carnahan Com
pelled to Submit to Operation.
The friends of Collector of Cu
torn Clark W. Carnahan were as
tonished, and pained, when they
learned, yesterday, of the sudden and
eravc illness that had overtaken him,
and that he was lying at St, Mary'
hospital in a critical condition, result
ant from complexities following a
rather serious operation for abces
of the car. It wa known that he had
been suffering for several days from
hi ear, but no one suspected that it
would eventuate so seriously.
He was attended by Doctors Alfred
Kinney. J. A. Fulton and H. L.
Henderson; and the operation was a
complete success, until a latent at
fection of the stomach asserted itself
and contributed to a practical col
lapse, from which, at a late hour last
night, he had not rallied. There is
much anxiety felt for the sufferer and
as the Astorian goes to press the re
ports from St. Mary's are in no sense
cheerful as Mr. Carnahan still re
mains unconscious.
The hope is abroad through the
city that a turn for the better will
transpire and that he may rally com
pletely from the dread pas to which
his malady has subjected him.
About April 8 will remove to Astora
Saving Bank Bldg., ground floor.

Sauarely Before the People-
In order that every person and
newspaper in the State may have an
authoritative statement of the rela
tive merits of the two fishing bills to
be voted on by the Oregon electorate
at the April primaries, Secretary lid.
Rosenberg, of the United Ushermen
of the Pacific, with headquarters in
this city, yesterday mailed to every
paper in Oregon, the complete text
of the, initiative bill proposed Dy tne
Columbia River Salmon Protective
Association bill (known as the "Gill-
nptter's bill") and of the so-called
bill, togtther with a full
compendium of the arguments for
and against each measure, and in

guments aforesaid, the data relating
to the Wood river closing; letters
from Secretary Straus, Jordan and
Nelson, Senator Fulton and Senator
Piles: Dhotoeraphs of the fishwheels
and the Oregon Fish Commissioner's
press report. The matter is worth
the best attention, of every voter in
the State, and will aid in a clear un
derstanding of the situation. ,
INTERESTED IN ASTORIA.
Hon. Geo. S. Shepherd, the young
Portland attorney, who is' before the
people of the Second Congressional
District of Oregon for primary nomi-
The commissioner's court in and
for Clatsop county devoted the sec
ond day of its April term to the con
sideration of the roads of the county,
new and old.
The court took cognizance of the
reports of the viewers heretofore ap
pointed in the matter of the roads
petitioned for by C. A. Jurma, et als;
bv Mr. Sloop, et als: and P. A Lar
son and others, and said reports were
severally approved' and the roads in
question were declared to be public
hiehwavs of the county.
The bond of John Takola, as su
pervisor of road district No. 16, was
examined and approved by the court;
as was that of Alexander Duncan, of
the Elk Creek road.
In the matter of the new road to
connect this county with Tillamook
at the boundary line, the preliminary
survey of the route proposed and the
profile thereof, as furnished by
County Surveyor Astbury and Assist
ant Surveyor Austin, were duly
scanned by the court and ordered
filed. The consensus of opinion was
that the documents indicated that a
good road may be established over
the proposed line, with a miximum
urade of 3 per cent.
In the matter of the Cairnsmore
road, the court directed Road Master
Bartoldus to proceed with the m
provement of that thoroughfare from
the intersection of the Clatsop Plains
road to the loose sands; and from
there on. as occasion demanded, to
lay planking. And in this behalf an
order was made for the purchase of
84.000 feet of fir lumber from the D.
L. Kelly Lumber Company at War-!
renton, at $14.50 per thousand.
Adjournment was then taken.
The following letter, just received
at this office, is a sharp indication of
how an astute politician will some
times blunder, when he is beat con
vinced of his factional estimates and
the wisdom of his shrewdest plays.
The tone of the letter is identical
with the declarations made to the
editor of this paper on the street
of Astoria yesterday, by Silas L.
Jones, one of the oldest and best in
formed men in T. P. A., circles, and
shows that the false move of Gover
nor Chamberlain made in naming II.
A. McAllister to the office of Fish
Warden of Oregon, is working ad
versely in the very core of the ele
ment he had hoped to use freely and
successfully at the June polls:
'Medoffd, Or, April 1, 1908.
"Editor Daily Astorian.
"I notice in yesterday's Oregonian
our article regarding the appoint
ment of H. C. McAllister as Fish
Warden, and you seem inclined to
the idea that Governor Chamberlain
made this appointment at the request
of the Travelennz Men of the 1. r.
A., as you least felt he would secure
their good feeling by so doing.
"As one of the oldest traveling
men of this State and as a member
of the T. P. A. I wish to protest and
also voice the protests of many other
traveling men. When I first heard
of Mr. McAllister's efforts to secure
the position of Fish Warden it
amused me and seemed to me to be
the grandest exhibition of GALL I
had ever heard of, and this feeling!
was voiced by quite a number of
traveling men who were with me at
the time. If the Governor made the
appointment with the hope of secur
ing assistance from the traveling men
I am sorry for him, as I fear it will
cost him more votes than it can pos
sibly make. Traveling men, as a
rule, do not talk politics; at times,
however, conditions .force men... to
declare themselves. This happened
some years ago and many traveling
men supported the present Governor
and were glad to do so.
"Personaly, I have always enter
tained a high regard for Mr. Cham
berlain, and am sorry that I must feel
that he has made a mistake by pur
suing the course he has, regarding
the appointment of Fish Warden.

"W. G. MARTIN."
