Generally speaking, the fishing is
thought to have been a little bit
Jitter around the mouth of the river
the pant few days.
Enforce The Ordinance
Although there Is an ordinance
providing that cannon crackers and
other explosives may not be shot off
before the Fourth of July, yet appar
ently the police are not endeavoring
to enforce the ordinance. Last night
again there were various cannon
crackers exploded, causing serious
annoyance to many. Several persons
have expressed the opinion that the
police should enforce the ordinance
rigorously.
Work Started
Work has been started on the new
Allen building, which is to be the
future home of the Astoria Amateur
Athletic Association. Messrs. Birch

Another large crowd greeted the
second performance of "The Sheriff"
at Hagers Theatre last night. The
company is one of unusual ex
cellence and Is destined to become
very popular among the many theatre-goers
of Astoria.
There Is a sweet vein running
through the play, and while it has
many thrilling melodramatic situa
tions, there is Mill plenty of good
wholesome comedy.
The title role is taken by Mr. Her-
i
LILY BRANSCOMBE.
bert Ashton who by the way is the
manager and director of the organi
zation. Mr. Ashton lias a beautiful
voice and plays his part with an easy
and graceful manner that marks him
the finished actor he is. The leading
feminine part is in the hands of the
well known and accomplished ac
tress, Miss Lily Branscombe, who is
the Sheriffs daughter, Kate, and to
gav that she does well in the role
would indeed, be putting it mildly.
Miss Branscombe has a splendid
personality in the part and acts it
with a determination that goes far
with her audience.
The balance of the company are
all happily cast and give a splendid
performance throughout.
"The Sheriff' will continue until
Thusday night when the company
will produce a full scenic mechanical,
and electrical production, of the
beautiful well known problem play
"Sapho" which will run for the re
mainder of the 'week with a matinee
Saturday and Sunday.
The Ashton Company have more
than made good with local playgoers
and if they do not "pack 'em in" tor
dear "Sapho" then something is
wrong with the drawing qualities of
the old piece.
In Circuit Court-
Judgment was rendered in the sum
of $100 in favor of the plaintiff in the
case of T. L. Driscoll vs. Clarence
Winters in the circiut court yester
day. The case was contested warm
ly. It involved the payment of $100,
which had been advanced on a gaso
line engine. The only other cases
heard yesterday were the following:
Order to correct decree in case of
Mrs. A. Kirkland vs. A. D. Kirkland;
demurrer argued and taken under ad
visement in case of A. Krause vs.
Charles Markow et. al.
Warrants For Three J
Sheriff Pomeroy and Chief of
Police Gammal began a search yes
terday for the three men who are ac
cused of having assaulted Matt Wal
quist at an early hour last Sunday
morning. v Walquist was pretty badly
cut up, evidently by a knife, and he
accuses Joe Trva, A. Kotti and
John Sattyaroi of being the men who
assaulted him. They are fishermen,
and it is thought that they are keep
ing out of the way. A warrant has
been issued for their arrest and it is
probable that they will soon be
found.
Getting Even-
Probably it isn't often that the
lumber men get a chance to talk back
to the railroads, but that one chance
came is evidenced by the following
story, told by an Astoria man who
has just returned from a business
trip. The recent floods in Washing
ton and Montana hit several of the
railroads hard, especially the North
ern Pacific, and there was a big and
immediate demand' for bridge mater
ial. Order9 came pouring in, and
apparently the mill owners only took

ASTORIA'S RELIABLE CLOTHIER
NEW SCHEDULE IN
EFFECT TODAY
OPENING OF THE NORTH
BEACH SUMMER SEASON IS
MARKED BY IMPORTANT
CHANCES.
Today marks the commencement
of several important changes in the
summer schedule of at least three
boats running in connection with the
O. R. & N. line. The Nahcotta, which
heretofore has left Astoria at 7:30
o'clock in the morning, will here
after leave at 6:45 o'clock. She will
also make two trips daily to Meglers,
leaving out in the afternoon about
1:30 o'clock, connecting at Megler's
with the I. R. & N. train for Ilwaco
and other beach towns along the
coast.
The Hassalo will leave Astoria
every morning at 7 o'clock for Port
land via Meglers.
The steamer T. J. Potter will also
start this morning on the first of her
daily trips during the summer for the
North Beach traffic. The Potter
will go direct to Meglers from Port
and, not touching at this city.
Under the new arrangement the
sailing hours of the Potter from
Portland will not be regulated by the
action of the tides as heretofore.
She Will leave Portland every morn
ing at 8:30 o'clock, except Saturdays,
and she will return at' 10:30 o'clock
in the evenings. On Saturdays she
will sail from Portland at 2 in the
afternoon and remain at Meglers urn
til Sunday evening, when she will
leave on the return trip. , ;
Owing to the improved service the
travel to the beach is expected to be,
much greater this season than ever
before. At the rate berths are being
engaged on the Potter, it is said that
she will go out with a full list on her,
initial voyage. She will have a Gov
ernment permit for carrying about
600 passengers. During the past few
weeks she has been given a thorough
overhauling, and many minor altera
tions have been made to her. The
accommodations have also ) been
improved.' ' ' .-, &
