New Coal Bunkert
The Callcndcr dock is a busy place
these days, due in a measure to the
advent of the new trade set up there

Back to Hia Home
Charles Roucrs, the well known
druggist of this city, returned to his
home here on last evening i express
from Portland, after an absence of
over three months in California and
Arizona, in quest of better health,
Mr. Rogers while not entirely free
from the trouble that beset him, is
better than he was, and hit friends
trust that with a fair turn thus se
cured the delightful Astoria summer
may serve to free him utterly from
the malady.
Hia 61 at Anniversary
There was a pleasant time at the
cosy home of Otto Peterson, in Al
derbrook last evening, when that
gentleman, with a number of friends,
celebrated his 61st natal anniversary.
Mr. Peterson was in a particularly
happy frame of mind for the occasion,
from the fact that he has just dis
posed of his fine 144-acre ranch at
Seaside to Theodore Kingsley, of
that city, for a rational and compen
sating figure.
Wired For Information
Chief Gamma! received a telegram
from the city marshal of Richmond
Station, Cal., yesterday asking for
any particulars of J. Robinson and
his son, C. Robinson, who were under
arrest on the charge of vagrancy. The
wire said they had a certificate of de
posit on the First National for $2500
and some jewelry. The certificate is
tTobably all right as these men were
junk dealers here a few months ago,
but the chief is at a loss to account
for the jewelry.

committee of the Chamber of Com
merce was held yesterday afternoon
at which there was a full attendance

some transportation matters were
considered that may prove of the very
greatest interest to Astoria. The ses-

With the Rebekahs
The ladies of Gateway lodge for Re
bckah., of this city, had the good for
tune last night to serve as fraternal
hosts to Mrs. A. G. Galloway, the
president of the great order in Ore
gon. The evening was delightfully

of thi order, t.nd in which the guest
of the hour was largely instrumental.
After the work of the evening all
present indulged in a pleasant lunch
eon and in conversation incident to
the aiwembUge.
The Best Out
If the handsome little city of
F.ugenc, up at the head of the mag
nificent Willamette valley, does not
succeed in climbing to the very sum
mit of inland glory and prosperity, it
will not be because her live people are
failing to put her squarely before the
reading public of America. She has
just issued, through her board of
trade, a magazine entitled "Nobody's";
which is one of the snappiest, most
up-to-date and attractive things in
the way of universal publicity con
trivances that has reached this office
in many a day. It is crammed full of
catchy, pertinent, helpful things and
lovely views of a fine country, and
must contribute immensely in the
work for which it is compiled.
A Successful Trip
The free round trip of the Babbidge
steamer R. Miler, yesterday, from this
port to Cathlamet and all intervening
points, was a decided success, accord
ing to the reports of those who were
fortunate cm. ugh to accept the invita
tion i f Certain Babbidge for the day.
The -Miler lift here at 9 o'clock in
the morning a'ld made the circuit by
4 in the afternoon; and everywhere
en roulc the Astoria merchants made
the most of the opportunity to culti
vate the good will and trade that be
longs to this city. Those who went
out on the bay spin, were: Messrs. S.
Nyman, Otto Carlson, James Wal
lace, C. J. Curtis, J. T. Ross, Norris
Staples, S. M. Gallagher, K. Os
burn, E. T. Judd, James Finlayson,
Benjamin Ward, Frank Woodfield, J.
Fuhrman, A. Coe, P. A. Stokes and
R. Buintgcn.
Got the Wrong Doctor
The Astorian misunderstood its in
formant as to the name of the good
citizen of this city who is going out
next Monday with a party to the
Klamath county to look up some land
interests, and said it was Dr. T. L.
Ball... That gentleman forstalls the
friendly' impeachment by passing it
on to Dr. C. W. Barr, who confirms
the assignment and says that the par
ty he is going out with consists of the
following named gentlemen: Dr. F.
J. Friedrich, O. W. Peterson, and son,
of Alderbrook; A. R. Cyrus, J. E,
Thomson, F. C. Turner, A. Brown,
of Texas, now in this city; and Mr.
Olsen, a friend of Mr. Peterson's, of
Uppcrtown, There are 25 or 30 As
torians interested in the lands, of
Lake county now; and this party
will be followed a little later by an
other of six or seven Clatsop citizens.
Called To San Francisco
Rev. P. it. Eleffson, of the Astoria
branch of the American Seamans'
Friend Society, has received, and ac
cepted, a call to the pulpit of the First
Norwegian Methodist Episcopal
church . at San Francisco, and will
leave for that metropolis on or about
the 24th of the present month. The
call is quite advantageous to Mr.
Eleffscn, and he will still retain his
interest in the sailors of the coast,

in the branch of the A. S. F. Society
in that city. He and his family will
leave Astoria with very great re
luctance because of the many warm
friendships they share and enjoy in
this section; and it is needless to say
that Astoria can illy spare men of
his sort, and families such as his,
since each and all have been insepar
ably allied with the best moral con
cerns of the city and have, always
taken the lead in the social and
churchly welfare of that community.
They will carry with them the ut
most good will of all classes of peo
ple in Astoria, who vill wish them
abundand success and happiness in
their new field.
A Mental Relapse
Early in the month of March last,
Ole Bakken, a reputable citizen of
Alderbrook, was complained of, and
duly examined before a commission
in lunacy, and sent to the asylum at
Salem, arriving there on the 9th; on
the 22nd he was released at the in
stance of his family here, and sent
home. Yesterday while at work in
an up-river camp aboe the Tongue,
his faculties lapsed once more, and
he started for the city, along the A. &
C. track under full play of his demen
tia which moved him to cast his
clothing aside, and when the noon
express came along he was in his
underclothes, but with reason enough
left to get off the line when the engi
neer signalled him. Shortly after this,
word reached the Sheriff's office that
he was needed in Uppertown, and
Deputy Archie McLean was sent to
the front. The unhappy man had made
himself very conspicuous in that
neighborhood, and was crouched in a
cellar when the officer arrived.
Deputy McLean had no trouble in
bringing him to the county jail, and
today he will be examined again and
will probably be sent back to the
State's custody, where, it is hoped,
he will be given the care and treat
ment his wretched condition deserves.

Discussed Railroad Rates
Railroad Commissioner Aitchison
and Rate Clerk Miller for that Com
mission were in consultation yester
day afternoon with Chairman J. Q.
A. Bowlby of the Chamber of Com
merce transportation committee,
with President Scholfield and
Manager Whyte. It is under
stood that they were consider
ing an important matter of railroad
rates but their deliberations were
executive and will not be made
known at this time.
