Gone Home- John Maenpaa was yesterday dis charged from St. Mary'a hospital, where he ha been for the past week receiving medical attention for a cancer that had formed on his throat, and which necessitated an operation that was performed several days ago. Captain Pillsbury Here Captain Pillsbury of San Francisco arrived in Astoria yesterday after noon to decide what shall be done with the wreck of the steam ichooner Minnie E. Kcltn, now lying in the lower harbor. He is salvor for the underwriters, and last evening made an inspection of the derelict. Mayor To Chicago Mayor Wise will leave on this evening's train for the East, his des tination being Chisago. Mayor Wise needs a rest, for his private and pub lic duties have kept him very busy for months past, and he is looking forward to the trip with pleasure. He will probably mix a little business with the pleasure of the trip, and has promised to think out many new ideas for the regatta while away. Boya In Swimming. Who says that summer isn't here? Yesterday afternoon two little lads entertained a crowd along the docks with their antics in the watera of the river, and it was evident the boys wcer enjoying the swim. They are probably the first of the Astoria boys to swim in the river off from the docks this season. The boys said the air felt colder than the water. "Come on in, fellers; it's fine," they yelled to others boys. Another Logger Killed Frank Page, age 23 years, unmar ried, who lived in the vicinity of Cathlamet, was instantly kilfed at the logging camp of Bradley Bros, near Cathlamet Friday. The acci dent occurred while Page was help ing his fellow workers in moving a donkey engine through the woods, an it seems that, they had driven over a branch of a tree that snapped back with great force after being re leased by the sled passing over it, striking young Page squarely under the chin breaking his neck. His com panions say that the blow came with out Warning, of any kind and are at a loss to explain just how it all came about. The National Songs The committee having the Fourth of July entertainment in hand have hit upon a delightful feature for the parade. It is planned to have a chorus of 40 or more children, to sing patriotic songs. They will ride in the Liberty car, and it is expected that this feature will prove one of the prettiest and most interesting of the entire day's program. The Phil harmonic society will also have a part of its strong chorus in the enter tainment, and probably there could be no finer feature of the Fourth of July program than to have a trained chorus and a chorus of children sing the' National songs. Mr. G. Ziegler has promised to be one of the so ciety's singers. r ..- ',.- r , J,iu, ni St. ll 1 ' ''"' ''''''''' JL ''"'"'h''::'- Y ;; When you buy one of Wise's fine suits you can resl: easy that it is made according to fashions latest decrees, of course we also have the medium grade for those whose purse demands them, but we prefer to sell the better kind.

COiiS Politic Sizzle Walter Ingatls, one of the leading farmers in the Lewis and Clark dis trict, was in Astoria yesterday on the way back home. Mr. Ingatls is a close observer of political events, and he says that in Portland the "wise ones" are now trying to figure out how William Howard Taft is going to run against Bryanhis probable competitor this fall. Another mat ter that interests the Portland politi cians is Statement No. 1 and Cham berlain's chances of. being elected to the United States Senate. Despite the fact that a sufficient number of legislators are presumably pledged to the statement and thus to Cham berlain, there seems to be a doubt in the minds of many that the promise of the legislators will be carried out. Defection on the part of only a few men would leave Chamberlain out in the cold, and according to the stories brought here by Mr. Ingalls, as well as other intimations along the same line that have been heard in this part of the state, there seems to be some sort of a likelihood that at least some of the Statement No. 1 legislators may try to wriggle out from their promises. . Sherman Leaves The transport Sherman is sched uled to go up the river to Vancouver Barracks this morning. She will pro ceed with practically all of those who have remained in quarantine, leaving only the patient, Van Zandt, and a small number of others who have not responded to the vaccina tion treatment. It is said that there were several on board who have de cided objection, to vaccination, and believe that the beneficial results from vaccination are doubtful at best, and that resultant harm is , almost certain. But they kept their scruples to themselves and submitted; with the rest, feeling that objections , would not even be listened to. In the Port land Oregonian yesterday was a long and very critical article upon the conditions that are said to have existed on the transport on her trip across the Pacific. Complaint was made' by some of the discharged sol diers that they were treated with the utmost contempt by the officers in i charge, while dancing girls and others of that kind from Manila are said to have been under the tender and watchful care of the officers, ac- Mr. Carter Talks ' L. A. Carter, the contractor who is engaged to do the work of filling up the court house yard with earth takes decided exception to the charge that he has been unnecessarily slow in completing the work. He states that already he has finished three-fourths of the job, and avers that if it had not been for the recent wet days all of the contract would have been com pleted ere this. "It is true that there has been a delay in the job," said Mr. Carter yesterday, "but I believe that under any other contractor there would have been the same delay. Let us place a considerable part of the blame on the wet weather. Fully three-quarters of the job is done, and all I need is about a week's good weather to finish up. I realize that it ought to be done just as well as judge Trenchard does, and I'm anx ious to have it done, too. Perhaps the little complaint made may have come from some of tho contractors who bid on the job and didn't get it. They bid, 34 cents, their lowest bid. I bid 30 cents. They own their own teams and I have to hire teams, and if I can hire teams and make money out of the job at 30 cents it does seem a? it they were counting on making a rich thing out of iV Perhaps there is little' wonder that somebody is sore now," concluded Mr. Carter. At all events it looks now as if the job will be done the first fine days that come.
