Old Fisherman Dead
Charles Micks, age about 80 years,
died at St. Mary's Hospital Wednes
day morning shortly after midnight.
He wa in the hospital about ten days
and died of old age and general de
bility. The deceased was a native of
New York but came to the Pacific
Coast at an early age. He was one
of the oldest fishermen on the, Co
lumbia river where he fished until a
few years ago when he became too
old to do much work. Since that
time he has been living in a scow and
picking up what little money he need
ed to live on, by mending nets for
other fishermen. The arrangements
for his funeral have, as yet not been
completed.

Mr. John Adair, who is widely

Cleveland keenly ,as do others here
who voted for him and admired his
career in the President chair. "Al-
'hough away out here on the Pacific

Coast, we, too, feel the loss of Mr.
Cleveland and sympathize with the
members of the family who survive
him." said Mr. Adair. "I was glad to
Secondary Company Formed
Articles of incorporation of the
Oregon Coast Railway Company
were filed in the office of the county
clerk yesterday afternoon. This com
pany is formed for the apparent pur
pose of standing in the relationship
of a sort of holding company to the
recently formed Astoria, Seaside &1
Tillamook Electric Railway Com
pany. The incorporators of the new
company are W. E. Buffum, H. G.
Van Duscn and E. Z. Ferguson, who
were also incorporators of the orig
inal company. The capital stock of
the secondary company is $10,000,
divided into 1000 shares of $10 each.
The purposes of the new organiza
tion, as stated in the articles, are ap
parently virtually identical with those
of the original company.
Burglar Escapes
Officer Houghton while making his
round last night about midnight got
sight of a burglar in Rolston's shoe
store, but the man who ever he was
saw the officer first and made his
escape through a back window where
he gained entrance, Mr. Houghton
says that last night as usual he tried
the door of the slioe store to satisfy
himself that it wa locked, and as he
placed his hand on the knob of the
door he noticed a light inside but
didn't Uiink much of it at the time,
supposing that some one of the firm
was doing a little overtime work,
when at the same time a man passed
before his view making a bolt for the
back part of the store, where he made
good his escape. This quick move
ment on the man's part aroused the
suspicion of the officer and he imme
diately went around to the back part
of the store to investigate. After a
little difficulty owing to the dark he
found one of the back windows brok
en where the burglar got in. Luckily
the officer arrived on the scene in
the nick of time, before the robber
had a chance to steal anything. An
investigation is being made and
the man may yet be caught.

ASTORIA ASKS FOR
SQUARE DEAL
BUSINESS MEN AND OTHERS
2ESENT THE ACTIONS OF
THE RAILWAY COMPANIES-
The announcement made yesterday
by the management of the O. R. &
N, Railway Company, as told by The
Astorian, that the steamer T. J. Pot
ter will run direct from Portland to
M eglcr's, without touching at this
port at all, has naturally caused the
sharpest kind of comment from local
business men. It looks as if the O. R.
& N. forgot for the moment that As
toria is on the map.
The city of Astoria has a popula
tion that approximates 15,000. The
passenger traffic between this city
and Portland daily is a considerable
one. For the steamer Potter to touch
here daily on her runs would mean
that she would hardly have to go five
miles out of her way, and would
thereby hardly lose an hour's time at
the outside.
How the O. R. & N. management
can afford to do this is- not very clear
to men at this end of the line. That
the Potter could work up a consid
erable passenger traffice between
Portland and Astoria is a plain
proposition, especially since the ves
sel is now scheduled to leave Port
land at 8 o'clock each morning. In
former days no one could tell with
any degree of cerainty just when the
sailing would be made, and as a re
sult passcngersfor this city naturally
did not accustome themselves to look
for the O. R. & N. sailings. But with
a definite hour for daily departures,
there seems to be no reason why the
passenger traffic should not be a
material source of income to the
Potter.
It may be stated in defense of the
railway company, that it is virtually
impossible for the Potter to make her
daily runs if she were to touch here;
but there seems to be no reason why
she cannot easily cross the river in
an hour's time. To cross the river
would require only a detour of a few
miles when the tide is low, and when
the. tide is high she can cut straight
ill.iu. iv line ii nidjr lc uaiuiai iui
the company to evince a desire to
keep its passengers on the other side ;
of the river entirely, to the end that ,
none of them may be diverted from
the O. R. & N. trains, nevertheless J
that may prove a short sighted pol-i
icy. The Hassalo makes the run I
daily now, and with the Potter touch-1
ing here, there would be a vastly
improved service.
The business management of the
water lines of the O. R. & N. seem to'
have overlooked the fact that their
beach business may last only for a
few months, while Astoria is here at
the mouth of the Columbia river for
12 months out of the year. Agents of
the O. R. & N. lines have frequently
complained of the loss of business
that they suffer from the other ves
sels that are running independently
and oftentimes the complaint has
been coupled with the intimation that
Astoria should "stand by" the O. R.
& N. wate rlines. And now after all
this the O. R. & N. tops the whole
matter off by castiTig this final riiat
ter in Astoria's face literally ignoring
the city's existance..
Perhaps Astoria has not learned to
properly resent such "slaps"; and in
a few days there is another "slapi"
coming, this time by the A. & C,
whose new schedule goes into effect
in a few days. It used to be that one
could go to Portland on a business
errand and remain there until the re
turning train left at 7 o'clock in the
evening. That gave the visitor six or
seven hours in Portland. Later the
return time was placed an hour earl
ier, namely, at 6 o'clock. Then still
another little slice was cut off, for the
new schedule announced puts the re
turn time at 5:30 o'clock. And while
in the old days it only took three
hours and a. half to make the run
home from Portland to Astoria, from
7 o'clock to 10:30, now the passenger
is to leave there at 5:30 and get in
Astoria at 9:20, ten minutes less than
four hours to travel a hundred miles.
The Astoria trains now do all the
little way station work on the North
ern Pacific from Goble to Portland,
that the other trains used to prop
erly aid in doing. And leaving Port
land at 5:30 o'clock, the hurried visi
tor naturally is pleased to find that
there is a diner on the train as a part
of the new arrangement. His dollar
for the diner dinner will naturally put
him in excellent humor for the haste
of his departure-and for the slower
trip that he is compelled to make
back to Astoria. . 1
The " pew Astoria and Columbia
trains for the summer will run
through to Seaside, and Astoria is
glad that Seaside will reap the bene
fits of the through trains, but at the
same time it looks as .if this city
should be considered just a little by
the management of the A. & C.

Two Are Arrested
The police arrested A. Kortti and
J. Salajarvi yesterday afternoon and
later turned the men over to the sher
iff. The two men are wanted on a
charge of assaulting Matt Walquist
last Sunday morning at an early hour.
A third man, Joe Terva, is also want
ed but could not be found yesterday.
Kortti and Salajarvi were locked up
in the county jail and will be arraign
ed today. Kortti says that was his
real name in the old country, but that
he goes by the name of Andrew John
son in this country. It is said to be
somewhat doubtful that Walquist will
want to prosectuethe case, but a strong
eiort will be made to have him do so,
as the authorities are tired of the dis
position shown by certain of the
foreign born residents who make
every effort to hush such matters up
outside of the courts. . Walquist was
severely cut up. It it understood
that both of the men in the county
jail admit that they were present dur
ing the affray, but claim that it was
Terva who did the stabbing.
