Horse Found

the animal, which the boy brought
down town last night, and tied up in
Allen's slip, behind Allen' tore.
Bargain Hunters
The sale at JalofT yesterday was
almost unprecedented in several
ways. The ladies apparently read the
advertisements carefully, and they
turned out in full force to take ad
vantage of the bargains offered at
JalofFs. For a while it looked as if
it would be wise to call in an officer
to keep the throng straightened out.
Apparently advertising does pay.

CIIEERFUL LETTERS RECEIV.
ED FROM P, A. BERGLUND, AT
THE OFFICE OF THE ALASKA
FISHERMEN'S PACKING COM
PANY HERE.
Mail advice were received at the
office of the Alaska Fishermen'
Packing Company, in thi city, ye
terday, direct from Superintendent
V. A. Herglund, the company' repre
sentative in the far north. He report
all well and everything promising, on
the date be wrote, June 4th.
The fleet arrived in at Nushagak in
the following order: The North Star
on May 16th; the hip St. Nichola
and Berlin, on the 18th, and the ship
Henry Villard on the 24th. All hav
! in it had heavv dealintr with the ice
field en route. The voyage wa con-
siderably slower than that made last
year.
The full trip took up 39 day to
complete; with a 12-day run to Unl
mak Pass, where they were barred
by ice for another 12 days, and at a
point 60 mile beyond there the ice
forbade further progress for a while!
Bchring Sea beging almost crowded
with it. On May 11th the North Star
ran alongside the Villard and report
ed she had been within 100 miles of
the company's cannery at Nushagak,
and had" been compelled to turn back
from the crowding ice floes.
Superintendent Bcrglund writes
very cheerfully, and lays especial em
phasis upon the fact that the fleet ar
rived in ample time to meet and pre
pare for the June run of King sal
mon. It is presumed that all the
families interested in this great an
nual venture have received personal
mail by the post that brought down
Mr. Bcrglund's letters.
The Eagle Screams
The Fourth of July committee has
decided that the children sports will
j be held in the morning, commencing
l about 10 o'clock, They will include
the potato race, climbing a greased
pole, and the like. Commencing Mon
,la'. Secretary Haldcrman will be in
h' office daily to attend to any and
a" matters in connection with the
Fourth of July entertainment. Special
request is made that all of the chil
(iren wno nave selected to ride in
the Liberty car meet at the office of
Superintendent Clark at 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. The committee
wishes to emphasize its invitations
for everyone to join in on the parade
on the Fourth; instead of standing on
the sidewalk, it is requested that
everybody get in line. The com
mittee oners tne toiiowing prizes:
First prize for the best decorated or
most appropriate float, $25; second
prize, for the second best float, or dec

orated one-horse vehicle, $10; 4th,

bile, $15; 5th prize, for the second

Terva Is Sentenced
Eli Terva. bound over to the circuit
court Friday on a charge of assault
ing Matt Walquist, was arraigned
yesterday and later appeared before
Judge McBridc and pleaded guilty.
He was sentenced to 60 days in the
county jail. Terva had no attorney
nor apparently any means to retain
one, and therefor the court appointed
Attorney C. J. Courtis to appear for
the prisoner. Evidently he had little
or no defense and the plea of guilty
was entered. In this case there was
quick dispatch and justice was vindi
cated in short order. The authorities
feel that they have a right to congra
tulate themselves in the matter, for
heretofore it has ben a pretty hard
time to secure a verdict against cer
tain ones among the foreign popula
tion no matter how apparent the guilt
was.
Torpedoes Have Gone
The missing fireman of the torpedo
boat Rowan apparently found himself
and returned to his vessel sometime
before daylight yesterday morning.
The little fleet of torpedo boats got
away early yesterday morning and as
far as can be learned Word, the sup
posed drowned man, went that gets
vessel. It isn't every man that gets
a chance to read his own obituary, as
i Ward did. and doubtless he will prize
the experience highly. From all ac
counts the weather was smooth out-
! side yesterday and the torpedo boats
probably are having an easy voyage
i down the coast to Eureka.
1 Correction Asked, And Made
In the issue of this paper on the
( 18th instant, touching the famous
! Sunset Magazine, it was stated that
I the magazine and its staff and work
i were under the direction of H. R.
ijtidah, A. G. P. A., of the Southern
J Pacific system. This was error; the
! department controlling the Sunset
monthly, is under the guidance of
Paul Shoup, A. G. P. A., of that
great line. All of which being tech-
nically so, does ont in the least mimify
! the real excellence of the popular
periodical.

Mentally Deranged
Frank Bcckman, while apparently
demented, created some little excite
ment in Uniontown yesterday morn
ing and was taken into custody by
Deputy Archie McLean. Beckman is
probably the same man who has been
seen in the neighborhood of Warren
ton and Hammond the past few days,
where his strange actions frightened
the residents. It is probable that
Qeckman walked into the city Friday
night, appearing in Union yesterday
morning. It was at once seen that
his mind was affected and a telephone
message was sent to the ' sheriffs
office. Deputy Sheriff McLean an
swered the call, and while going out
after the man, saw him riding in the
rear of a delivery wagon. He jumped
into the wagon and told the man that
he was wanted at the court house,
whereupon Beckman made a wild leap
out of the vehicle. He fell on his
face fcut was not injured. Later at
the county jail he gave his name and
other facts. He has been working
on the, jetty, and apparently his men
tal derangement may be traced to
intoxicants. Beckman was taken be
fore Judge Trenchard, who deemed it
best to hold the man in the county
jail for a few days to see if he does
not get better.
Proud And Happjr ,
Fred D. Finch, the well known ar
chitect who has cast his fortunes in
with Astoria, and has settled here in
business, was made glad and comfort
able yesterday by the news that some
coal land holdings of his up in Brit
ish Columbia had been disposed of at
the practical and handsome sum of
$65,00. Mr. Finch thinks the buyer
is the Grand Trunk Railway people;
but he is not caring very much who
they are, so long as the "considera
tion" conies through intact. He is to
be congratulated on the result of his
investment.
Commendable Enterprise-
Tagg in the remodeling and refurn-
ishing of his Commercial street store.
is commended on all sides. The house
has been equipped with all sorts of
modern and handsome appointments,
the stock increased along all lines of
the confectionery trade, and the place
is among the really handsome and in
viting resorts of the city.
His Hat Remained
Yesterday-morning at 4 o'clock, the
police discovered a man's hat in the
Fourteenth street slip, with numer
ous signs of a recent debauch all
about the dock; the conclusion being
in favor of . another wretched acci
dent,. in which drowning will probab
ly figure very conspicuously.
City Buys Water
A deed was filed in the office of the
county clerk yesterday whereby
James Neil sells to the city of As
torit all the rights and privileges of
the water in Buck Creek, and also a
right-of-way whereon to construct
pipes to take the water away. The
consideration was $600.

Milk And Electricity
One of the Ingall's dairy wagons,
laden with milk and cream, was in
collision yesterday morning with an
Astoria electric car, at the corner of
Commercial and Tenth streets. But
aside from a smashed wagon wheel,
no serious damage was done to either
vehicle.
Off To The Nehalem
A pleasant part is in course of or
ganization for a two months' trip into
the Nehalem country. The group is
made up of Mr. and Mrs. Frank San
born; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Dayton,;
and Mrs. Captain Charles Richardson
and family; and they will depart on
the joll excursion early this week-
New Talking Facilities
"Uncle" Charlie Wright, the genial
boniface of the Occident, has had in
stalled in that office a long-distance
telephone booth; and it is not to be
denied that the improvement will be
highl appreciated by the patrons of
the old hostelry. Such things always
count for despatch and convenience
in a hotel.
Launched Yesterday
The splendid motor boat, the Irene
Barnes," built at the R. M. Leathers
yard in this city for F. C. Barnes,
of Lake Bay, Alaska, and powered by
the Astoria Iron Works left the
ways yesterday morning, fully equip
ped with a fine threecylinder, Troyer
Fox engine, of 35 horsepower, and
she worked like a charm from the in
stant she touched the waters of the
bay. She will make her trial trip to
day and much is expected of her in
the way of speed. She will go north
on her long voyage sometime during
the present week.

nothim? to suroass the basket of new
"Morris" berries sent in to the office
0f Ward & Finlayson, of this city,
yesterday morning from the Young s
River Farm of William Metberal.
They were fresh from the plan, glow
ing with warm rich colors, deliciously
perfumed, compact, firm, and lucious
beyond description. Expert and epi
cure may search the earth for any
thing to exceed them. They were
photographed by Coe, and seen by
all men who came their way. Some
of them measured 7 inches in cir
cumference, and eight of them lincf
up at a random covered a space of
14$ inches on a platter. The repor
torial mouth watered for half a day
after the inspection given them in
this office, and then some. They are
cultivated from a seed developed by
a Mrs. Morris, and had their incep
tion on the north bank of the Colum
bia opposite this city. They will
create a furore on the western market
when they reach it. For a backward
season the berries are a literal marvel
f and under normal conditions there is
no reckoning their perfect attainment.

Spontaneous Combustion .
A good story leaked out here yes
terday about the recent target prac
tice at Fort Stevens, when the mortar
batteries were put through their
pace. The tremendous guns gave off
reports and concussions peculiarly
their own, and the guests who hap
pened to be present had some queer
experiences. The shock of the blasts
cut the flowers off at the earth they
stood in, the grass bowed itself before
the fierce disturbances set up by the
discharges; men's coats were unbut
toned and hat were anywhere but
where they were supposed to be. One
of the ladies present had the remark
able experience of having her over
skirt drop to the ground at one of the
explosions, and she was perfectly un
cosncious of it until the reverbera
tions ceased and she stopped watch
ing the flight of the shells. Then she
quietly picked up the truant garment
and fastened it safely, but left the
grounds before another mortar was
discharged.
Judge McBride Leaves.
The term of circuit court in Calt
sop county came to an end yesterday
afternoon, though no formal adjourn
ment was taken for the reason that
Judge McBride expects to come to
Astoria sometime in July. Therefore
the term was kept open. There are a
few matters yet to be considered,
though probably they will not take
more than a dav or so. Tudee Mc
Bride left on the evehing train for
Hillsboro to hold court there. Be
cause of the fact that there are four
counties in his district, Judge Mc
Bride is kept very busy all the time
and he is worked much harder than any
other circuit judge in the state. It is
well understood that the next legis
lature will in all probability either
divide the district, or else arrange for
the election of another judge to take
up a portion of the work.
