Dangerous Explosives What appears to be a deep mvstcrv is the finding of 21 sticks of dynamite in the backyard of the residence of John W. vveicn ai Grand avenue and Sixteenth street. The explosives were found in his yard which is close to the city reser voir and the general theory is that some boys had stolen the stuff and placed it there until some time when they shall see fit to remove it. The finding of the dynamite was very for tunate, for if the explosives in any way had been set off there is no telling what the damage would have been. As far as can be learned no one in the neighborhood is in the habit of ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON.

An order from Adjutant-General Finzer have been received by Charles Abercrouihie. All applicants as well as others who arc desirous of becoming members of the new company should be on hand on the night of July 6 at 8 p .in. at the city hall for physical examination. Adjutant General Finzer's order reads as follows: (General Orders Xo, 10). Headquarters Oregon National Guard, Adjutant-General's Office, Portland, Ore., June 25, 1908. 1, C. H. Abercrombie and sixty nine 'other citizens of Astoria, Ore gon, subject to military duty, having made application to be organized in to a military company under the laws and regulations of the Oregon Na tional Guard, they are directed to assemble in Astoria, Oregon, Mon day, July 6, 1908, at 8:00 o'clock p. m. for physical examination. All appli cants for enlistment having success fully passed the physical examination will be mustered into the service of the State. II. Captain Marius B. Marcellus, Assistant Surgeon, will proceed to Astoria on the date and be present at the hour specified in paragraph I in order to conduct the physical ex amination of all applicants for enlist ment into the service of the State. The expense incurred is necessary in the military service. III. First Lieutenant Richard W. Holman of Salem, Third Infantry, is designated as Mustering Officer, and will proceed to Astoria, Oregon, Monday, June 6, 1908. The expense incurred is necessary in the military sen-ice. IV. This organization will be known as First Company Coast Artil lery Corps, and will be mustered in Thursday. July 9, 1908. at 8:30 o'clock p. m. V. Immediately upon completion of muster in an election for Captain will be held. First Lieutenant Richard W. Holman, Third Infantry, is here by designated as Inspector of Elec tion. ( By order of the Commander-in Chief. W. E. FINZER, AdjutantGeneraL Official. The new Springfield rifle to be used by the company of National Guards in Astoria will weigh nine pounds and seven ounces, instead of the fourteen founds as announced by some of those who had handled the new gun the day it arrived here Naturally, the fourteen pounds seem ed too much, while a gun of nine pounds and a fraction is virtually the regulation weight. The new Spring field is of .30 caliber, and the maga zine holds five shots. Shooting smoke less powder great things are claimed for its penetrating powers. It is said that one of its bullets will penetrate 33 inches of thoroughly season oa wood at 100 yards, or two and a half inches of hard steel, and probably it will do this with a high power smoke less. It's a pretty fme looking gun all in all. Reports from some of the recent state matches show that the new Sprinjrtields are accurate to a surprising degree. handling dynamite, and the most practical theory is that the boys look it for some unknown reason. Resigned The Chairmanship A special meeting of the Clatsop County Republican Central Commit tee was called and held yesterday at- terncjon at 3 o'clock, at the oflice of C. J. Curtis, on Commercial street, all mrmbers of the committee being in evidence. It developed that Chair man Frank J.

He was suc ceeded by F. I. Dunbar, the pres ent secretary and the secretaryship was then confided to the capable hands of W. P. O'Brien, of precinct No, 7. The committee then ad journed, sine dei. At Seaside Sunday The beach at Seaside was thronged with visitors Sunday, many of whom went there from Astoria. The train from Portland was crowded with people eager to get down to the, beach for their Sunday outing, and because of the beauty of the day, the clear sunshine and genial warmth, it was an ideal Sunday for an outing. The waters of the beach attracted many, and the bathing was pronounc ed fine. With the advent of beauti ful weather it is certain that the crowds will now flock to the beacK towns, for the belated summer seem- FOURTH OP JULY CELEBRATION Those desiring to enter for the following events on the Fourth of July will kindly communicate, either in person or by tele phone or letter, with Secretary Halderman at the Fourth of July Headquarters, on 1 1th Street, before 5 o'clock p. m.

" ingly has only made the city peo ple all the more anxious to get away on their outings. The sessions of the Y. -VV. C. A. at Seaside have come to a close and the delegates have mostly returned to their homes. Weather Data The Astorian is in receipt of the weather date covering a period of five years from the records at North Head, Wash., as compiled by J. J. Kelliher, the weather man at that station. This data is mostly for the month of July and in no sense is it to be taken as a foreca'st of what the weather this July will be; it simply tells what the last five July have been. Following are some of the interest ing facts as recorded at North Head; The average temperature for the five July was 58 degrees; the highest temperature was 97 degrees, in 1906; the lowest was 47 degrees, in 1904. At North Head for these five years the earliest date on which a killing frost came was on December 18, and the latest date in spring for a killing frost was on March 16. There was no snowfall recorded during these five years. The highest wind velocity for this period was 62 miles, on July 16, 1904. Keep Sidewalks Clear Complaint is made that some of the Storekeepers and business houses are in the habit of placing boxes,: barrels and other articles of mer chandise on the sidewalks in front of their places of business. On the side streets this practice is bad enough, but on the main thoroughfares it becomes more or less of a nuisance to pedestrians. An ordinance pro hibits the use of the sidewalks for such a purpose, but as a matter of fact the police officers seem reluct ant, not unnaturaly, to endeavor to enforce the city law. In some cases storekeepers set out things that really make a pretty show and do not greatly interfere with passersby, but on the other hand there are a few who seem to take up half the walk with their wares. A man walking along Commercial street the other day narrowly escaped being hit by a falling bedstead that was out on the sidewalk. Sent To Asylum Frank Beckman, the man taken in custody by the sheriff's office on Sat urday, was examined before Judge Trenchard yesterday and adjudged insane. It was ordered that he be taken to the state asylum at Salem. It was difficult to definitely ascertain much about Beckman, as he was not in a frame of mind to talk coherently and much that he did say was of a; contradictory nature. Dr. O. B. Es tes made an examination of the man. It is probable that Beckman has re latives in Minnesota, perhaps in a place called Belan. There are indi cations that he has been deranged be fore and perhaps has been in an asylum before, though these facts could not be learned wtih any cer tainty. He said he is a native of Sweden The Glorious Fourth Now that the Fourth of July and the Astoria celebration is drawing near the committee respectfully re quest the merchants of the city to "get busy" and decorate their win dows ,and store fronts in an appro priate manner for the occasion. The order for the fire works that has been placed some time ago, are expected to arrive today, when they will at once be taken to the store room on board the barge that has been pro vided for them, until the time arrives for firing them. An expert has been engaged for the firing of the explo sives, who will arrive in due time. The committee announce that there will be both a daylight and night dis play of fireworks. In the afternoon Japanese bombs will be sent high in the air, exploding novelty figures of all kinds that will float until out of sight. Balloons of all descriptions will also be sent up including the new airships which are said to be over nine feet long, and shaped very similar to an atrship. The balloon ascension will take place, but the starting place thereof, has as yet not ALEX TAGG CONFECTIONERY Fresh Chocolates, Candies, etc. Made fresh every day in oa own factory. 843 Commercial Street been decided on.
