the Astorian hastens to correct the
mischance, by averring that the 70

Voluntary Bankruptcy

pany, the well known furniture mer
chants of Astoria, had been declared
voluntary bankrupts in 'the federal
district court at Portland yesterday

Was Fined $50-
S. Inluli, the man arrested by
Sheriff Pomeroy for indecent expo
sure on the streets, was fined $50 by
Justice Goodman yesterday. Inluli
made no defense and pleaded guilty
when asked what he had to say. Not
having the money to pay his fine,
Inluli was at once taken to the coun
ty jail to serve out a term of 25 days,
which, it is hoped by the county offic
ials, will prove not only a lesson to
the prisoner but to others of his ilk
is well. Last evening Inluli' fishing
partner succeeded in raising $50 and
the prisoner passed it over.

Float Is No More
The "Gateway of the Columbia"
Clatsoo county's float at the Rose
festival and the piece de resistance
of the parade in Astoria on the
Fourth of July, is a thing of the past.
It was not possible to find a place
big enough in the city to store it
away, unless some warehouse were
hired for the purpose, and therefore
the work of dismantling it was begun
and finished yesterday. The things
that were meant to be sea-horses
were taken down, the little boat was
removed, and while the men in
charge were planning what to do
with the rest of the papier mache,
some "kids" came along and started
a (work of devastation. Now there
isn't much left of the whole "Gate
way." It cost $600.
A Welcome Visitor
E. T. Judd Sr., one of the leading
farmers and dairymen of "old Mar
ion," and the father of Messrs. Judd
of this city, is in Astoria for a few
days' outing and enjoying himself as
he always does down here. Mr. Judd
has a warm spot for Astoria because
it has no warm spots itself. The
weather here charms him dowri at
least once every year, and he gen-
erally takes in the coast resorts when
' he comes. Mr. Judd is ' one of
; the notable figures in the fine stock
industry of the State and ; has for
"years been an authority on racing
and draft horses, but he has retired
from that specialty and gone in for
! dairying with his customary through-

Fishermen Make Escape-
Two Brooktield fishermen were ar
rested "by Water Bailiff Settem Sun
day niuht off from Tongue Point be
cause thev had no number on their
boat, though osensibly fishing under
a license, held in the name of John
Risto, The water bailiff fetched the
men to thi city and, wishing to act
in a kindly and decen manner toward
them, he tightly locked their boat to
a wharf with a chain and padlock and
permitted the men to sleep in, the
boat. The only other plan wa to
put them in jail. Sometime during
the night the men broke-the chain
and escaped with the boat. That
they will be captured again nis said
by Mr. Settem to be practically a
foregone conclusion, and this time.jt
is expected, the charge against them
will be made as serious as possible
under the circumstances.
Sure To Be Missed
Word reached this city yesterday
that Harry Blanchard, ' the well
known and popular purser of the
steamer Hassalo, of the O. R. & N.
service, has resigned his position and
will engage in other pursuits. The
matter is not accounted for, so his
hosts of friends are at a loss to un
derstand his leaving a . situation
wherein he was looked upon as a per
manent fixture so long as he was
alive.. He has been on the Willam
ette and Columbia rivers since his
early youth (and he's not ao old, at
that), and has myriads of friends near
and far who will earnestly regret to
hear of his lapse to other lines. He
was one of those men who fitted ex
actly in his place and he never for
got the' welfare of his company nor
that of his passengers, and when, that
is said there remains but little else
to. say.
Steamboat Man Ill
Eugene Brock a well known steam
boat enginer on the Columbia river
for the last 30 years, was yesterday
removed to St Mary's hospital Dr.
Estes,, who has been his attending
physician for the past year thought it
advisable to have him where he can
receive the best of attendance. Mr.
Brock has been ailing for the past
year of general debility and old age,
and when seen yesterday stated that
he thought the hospital was the best
place for him and remarked that he
already felt better since being there
and expects to be out in a short time.
He thinks it is doubtful however if he
will ever again Be able to resume his
old steamboat life, foe he says he Is
getting old,- and will never regain
strength enough, to take up the ac
tive work of an engineer. Before his
illness, the last position he held was
on the custom boat Patrol.
.
For The Regatta .
It is now known definitely that
there is to be another splendid pres
entation of the great Sangerfest at
the coming regatta in Astoria. Dr.
Emil Enna has been in the city for
several days in this behalf, and J. O.
Berg, of Portland, representing the
Nerwegian and Swedish elements of
the fine group of singers, arrived
down on Sunday last, and a general
conference has been -going on,, as
among the leading singers, members
of the various bodies and the civic
and other agencies-that are to con
tribute to the affair, including
Mayor Wise 'and the regatta com
mittee, and the Chamber of Com
merce officials; and as a result of it
all, the pleasant assurance is given
out that it will come off without fail;
and those who listened to the magni
ficent music last year, known just
what to" expect in the' way of delight
ful diversion. .
A Quiet Fourth
The police and sheriff's office had
little difficulty in handling the crowds
on the Fourth, and practicaly no ar
rests were made. As a matter of fact
there were many trivial violation of
ordinances, but as a rule the authori
ties were willing to turn their eyes
the other way just because it was a
period of exuberant patriotism and
general joy. However, there were
many warnings given and as a rule
the turbulent element was kept
within proper bounds. The number
of bad accidents 'was surprisingly low
when the amount of giant fire crack
ers, bombs, revolvers, and cannons
that were used is considered. Of
course there were many slight 1 acci
dents. "As a 'sane and safe' Fourth
the celebration in Astoria was per
haps a horrible example of what a
polite, rational celebration ought not
to be," complained one man yester
day, but as a general good time it
was what the small, boys called a
lallapalazza.
Fishing Picks Up
There is now said to be a reason
able certainty that the fishing season,
late as it is, will turn out even bet
ter than that of last year. According
to Water Bailiff Settem and others
who are familiar with conditions on
the river, the fishing is improving ev
ery day, and while the fish now being
taken are small, they are of fine
quality. ' Becauitt of their size they
are taken by the canneries. These
mall fish are of the size that should
have been here along in May, and it
is presumed that the larger ones will
get into the river late in the season.
along in August, perhaps, when the
water is warm. In that case, the big
fish will hardly be as firm and of the
same excellence a if they were tak
en in cold water; and as a conse
quence are better for the canner
than for the cold storage. Thus it
looks as if the present size of the
fish, and the fact that the big ones
will probably be taken in warm water
are facts that will conduce to make It
a far better season for the canneries
than for the cold storage plants.
After 25 Years1
Tomorrow evening' express out
of the city will bear away from As
toria, for new home-making abroad,
Mrs. Jennie Busey, ,than whom there
is no one more closely identified with
the social and school life of Astoria
for the past 25 years and more. Dur
ing all these years this accomplished
matron has devoted her energies and
fine capacities to the welfare of the
children of the city and section teach
ing almost uninterruptedly for the 10
months' term of the city schools and
then putting in three more months in
the country. She is known in every
home in the land hereabout, and, is
admired and respected on all sides.
During these long years she ' has
reared a fine family of her own, and
so wrought splendidly for ' her , own
and for others. She will be sin
cerely missed in Astoria, where she
counts her friends everywhere she
turns, and. all will be glad to hear of
her continued excellent health and
abundant prosperity Mrs. Busey
goes to Kent, Wash., and will malce
her home there.
Showers of Rice
When Miss Edna Kidd, of South
Portland, and her sister, Miss Eva,
got off the Undine Friday evening
and daintily hastened into the Kamm
line office, they were surprised to see
all of the officers of the Undine lined
up in stately order at the office door.
Inside the office Ed. Donnelly, the
assistant freight clerk, was looking
out and also wondering what the
matter could be. As Miss Kidd step
ped into the office to greet her friend,
Mr". 'Donnelly, they both were show
ered with handsful of rice from the
line of Undine officers. Miss Kidd
waited only to emit one little gasp of
startled surprise before she dropped
her hand baggage and fled. Mean
time rice was flying everywhere. If
there was hot a bushel of the white
grains thrown, there must have been
at least three pecks, and a goodly
share of it fell about ,Mr. Donnelly's
shoulders. Later Mr. Donnelly de
nied that there was any occasion for
throwing the race at this time. Miss
Kidd and her sister spent the Fourth
in Astoria very enjoyably and yester
day morning went up to Skamokawa
to visit with relatives until Thursday,
when they will return to Portland.
On Thursday Mr. Donnelly is also
going to Portland to spend a' few
days.

JOS. L. KLINE, Chairman,

MR. BROWNELL GETS
APPOINTMENT
RETURNED LAST NIGHT FROM
HILLSBORO WITH FORMAL
COMMISSION FOR DEPUTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP.
. Howard Brownetl went to Hills
boro yesterday to consult with Dis
trict Attorney Tongue in relation, t
the appointment of a deputy district
attorney for Astoria, and returned
last night with the commission for
the place in hi pocket. Mr. Tongue
had announced to one or two men hi
this .city by letter that he intended to
appoint Mr. Brownell to the position.
For several weeks past there have
been intimations that the appoint
ment would in all probability go the
way it finally did, though strong ef
forts were made by the many friends
of J. C. McCue in his behalf. The
district attorney came down here .one
day last week and looked the field
over, but he apparently found that .
the more he was willing to consult
with the local politicians the more,
certain it was that his task in making
a selection would become all the
harder. That the appointment of Mr.
Brownell will give satisfaction is the
confident prediction of his many
friends. '
It is hinted that one reason why
Mr. McCue's candidacy did not re
ceive stronger consideration lay in
the fact that he already holds a
legislative position by election, and
that the constitution forbids the
holding of more than one public of
fice at a time; and hence the appoint-
ment of Mr. McCue at this time
would have meant the necessity of
his resignation from the deputyshhs
at the time of the next session of the
legislature, in the event that he chose
to hold that position instead of the
deputyship. One or more " lawyers
had even gone further, and" averred
that it would not have been legally
possible for him to have held the two
places at the same timt, entirely irre
spective of the actual sessions of the
legislature. At all events Mr. McCoe
apparently filled his term as deputy
with credit to himself and satisfaction
to the community, and the friends of
Mr. Brownell are expecting the same
of him.
