some fast field work and other cred

crowd gathered to witness the game
and the Hammond team "had many
"rooters" who did muclt toward ex
citing the losing team.
Trouble For Boys
There is one boy who is apt to get
into pretty serious trouble if he fires
any more crackers before "the Fourth
of July. A policeman caught him
shooting off fire crackers .a night or
twa ago, warned him to desist and
started away. Hardly hd tfhe "cop"
turned the corner before the boy
toudied off another, and this time he
was "haled to the thy jail. After a
lecture he was permitted to go with
out Vnd upon his promise to show
up m police court yesterday, which
he failed to do. Other arrests will
be mutlc and vigorously prosecuted
in the (effort to make It a saS'e and
sane jmriod before the 4th.

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.

the neighborhood is in the habit 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

C. J. Curtis, on Commercial street,
all mrmbers of the committee being

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

crowds will now flock to the beacK

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
