Scholfield & Mattson Co. mil 5M THE MORNING ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. Fate Still Unknown The fate of Gus Victor Sandry, the watchman on the Sanborn coal dock, who disappeared mysteriously on Tuesday night last, is still undeter mined, though it is almost conceded by hia intimates that he must have fallen from the dock into the river. The body was dragged for yesterday morning for several hours, but no development of the missing man. Time and tide may solve the problem in their usual mournful fashion, though it is yet hoped he is safe. Making Good Progress By Monday next the rails of the O. R. & N. railway on the northshore will be laid to the dock at Megler the new station directly opposite this city, and before the first of June the road will be ballasted from there to its junction with the old line out of Ilwaco, and it would surprise no one, if in a very short time the steamer N'ahcotta was making her run to Megler instead of to Ilwaco, accord ing to the new program for the summer business of the O. R. & N. system. Sunday School Convention The Clatsop County Sunday School convention is to meet this afternoon at 2 ;30 o'clock at the First M. E. church in Seaside and there will un doubtedly be a very large and Inter ested audience. Rev. Charles A. I'hipps, the state secretary, will be present and assist in the work of the hour. The delegates from all over the county will be met at the noon train on its arrival there, and lunch will be served to them all at the church immediately after. It is earn estly desired that the attendance be as great as possible as the session promises much in the way of valuable work and real interest. Details Lacking Yesterday morning E. A. Taylor, the father of James Taylor whose death in Mexico was chronicled a few days ago, received the following tele gram dated El Oro, Mexico, and was sent by the company by whom the young man was employed. "James Taylor was buried in the cemetery here, the body being taken care of by the company and his friends. The grave will be properly looked after, am writing fully." An effort is being made through Senator Fulton to re ceive permission to have the body brought back to Astoria for inter ment. Wanderer Returns A. Skylea, who returned from a six weeks' tour of Illinois and Iowa, two or three days ago, reports the spring weather in those states as pleasant and seasonable. The commercial con ditions were not very encouraging as most of the manufacturers are run ning on short time and reduced forces. The fact that this is a presidential election year probably is largely due the curtailment of business but why such a condition should exist is not determined. The railroads appear to be busy but when the large amount of rolling stock lying idle is taken into account, small traffic would make it appear they were more busy than they really are. Anders Hanson Dead Anders Hanson, who was so severe ly injured at the jetty when the pile driver toppled over, died at 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning at the Post Hospital as the result of his in juries. He was 45 years of age and a native of Finland. He leaves a widow and one daughter. It has been known for several days that there was no hope of saving him as he had four ribs broken and his lungs were punctured. The funeral arrangements have not been completed but he will be buried under she auspices of Lewis and Clark Lodge, I. O. O. F., No. 180, and the interment will be in Oceart View Cemetery. Just Saved Him One of the current marvels of the city is the consummate ease and safety with which the little youngsters of Astoria scale the hills hereabout and come through with their lofty jour heyings without scratch or accident. A case in point arose on Wednesday evening, on the Sixth street hills near Commercial, ..when a lad about eight years of age, founding himself hang ng on the face of the big bluff there, with one small root to hold on to and a group of anxious women and chil dren above and about him, encourag ing him "to hold on". A. L. Steele was on his way home to dinner and saw the predicament the little chap was in and quickly scaled the front of the bluff and reached him a stout limb, in the crook of which he was able to wind an arm and suffer himself to be drawn safely to the summit. He was in great danger of a SO-foot fall and what might follow it. COUNTY COURT IN SESSION ENTIRE DAY WAS DEVOTED BY THE COMMISSIONERS, TO THE ADJUSTMENT OP IM PORTANT ROAD MATTERS -COUNTY SURVEYOR RESIGNS The county commissioner of Clat sop went into session yesterday morn ing at 9 o'clock for the second day's work for the May term, with Judge C.

An order was made directing the County Judge to purchase a type writer for the use of the county as sessor, and the same will be furnish ed at the earliest possible moment. The bond of Howell Lewis, as sup ervisor of road district No. 17, was submitted and approved by the court The resignation of County Survey or R. C. F.

It was ordered by the Court that a contract be let for the clearing of the Fort Clatsop road, to D. B. How- ater for $25, the same to be paid upon the completion and approval of the work by the Supervisor of Road Dis trict No. 18. E. E. Foster presented in open court a deed for a 40 foot section of land in section 2- 5- 7-West, for road purposes, and the same was accepted by the Court and the Clerk was in structed to draw a warrant in the sum of $75 in settlement therefor. The viewers appointed in the laying out of the road were Messrs. Bartoldus, Stevens and Jamieson, and the time set for the viewing. The petition filed by Jonas Norem et. als., for the vacation of a certain fraction of a county road, was pre sented and continued for further con sideration. It was ordered by the Court that A. L. Fox purchase the necessary gear for the draw-bridge over Young's River according to the plans adopted in this behalf. The judge and clerk of the court were directed to call for bids for the laying of the planking on the War-renton-Flavcl road, and report in due course. Whereupon, adjournment, sine die, was taken. Drowned at Seaside .Clarence Churchill and A. G. Wil son, both of Portland, went on a fish ing trip yesterday morning up the Necanicum River at Seaside. Shortly afterwards word came to the Seaside House that one of the men had fallen in the creek and was drowned. E. A. Miller and others started for the scene of the accident and located Mr. Wilson who said he was quite a distance from his com panion when ne was startled by a cry from Mr. Churchill. Rushing back to where he was no trace of the un fortunate man could be found except the bubbles in the water. The body was recovered in a few minutes. Mr. Churchill was about 32 years of age and a member of Aerie No. 4, Order of Eagles. He was a married man and a waiter by profession. Will Cost $30,000 The work of the Astoria & Colum bia River Railroad Company, on its long line of trestling in and out of this city, is to be continued until the entire system has been thoroughly re vamped and made solid and sound for some years to come. The company has appropriated the sum of $30,000 to this line of repair and it will cover the re-stringering, re-tieing and gen eral overhauling of the elevated right-of-way from Tongue Point to War renton. Superintendent John McGuire is on the ground and giving the en tire work his careful oversight, in fact he gives all the time to it he can spare from his regular and devoted interests to church work. The com pany has loads of material for the improvement all along the line, with the major portion of it piled up in and around Warrenton.
