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.

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.
