A Remonstrance
A reonstrance ha been filed in the
city auditors office by lv L. Parker
and VV. U. Chase, protesting against
the cxces assessment made on lots
"5 and 6 in block 56 in Shivcly's As
toria, inasmuch as they were dedicat
ed to the public for street purposes.
A Fine Team
A beautiful team of four-year-old
rcrcheron horses has been purchased i
by "the Prael Signer company of this
city. Each one weighs something over
1500 pounds. - They will be used for
heavy drafting and are said to be one
of the best teams in the city.
Observe The Injunction
The injunction issued by the feder
al court temporarily restraining the
fishermen from interfering with the
trilling grounds of the Columbia
River Packers' Association on Sand
Island is apparently being alrictly ob
served. The boat that contained the
men with guns have ben withdrawn,
Yesterday the association used its
seines and made a big haul of fish.
Diatinguiahed Viaitor Here
William Jennings Bryan, the noted
political leader, is in the city; at least
his voice is here, and may be heard by
all interested at the Phonograph par
lors of Fred Johnson, on Twelfth
street. Anyone who ha ever heard
Mr. Bryan in his speech-making mo
ments will easily recognize the "peer
less" voice and manner as it comes
from the record.
At The Beaches
The pleasant weather is enticing
many to the teaches from the inter
ior of the state, and it is reported
that the north beach has a big crowd,
while the number at Seaside is in
creasing every day. The increased
transportation facilities to, the north
beach are having the expected effect
of sending many there who otherwise
might spend their vacations at other
places.
aieball Sunday
Considerable interest is being
shown in the game between the West
Wild 'Blackberries..
If you want this fruit for canning, place
your order with us in advance.
A few days later we may not be able to
guarantee delivery.

is said to be underway. Let us all
lend aid to the proposition."
Lease 800 Acres
Kelly Brothers, the lumber people
of Warrcnton and this vicinity, have
leased to the Clatsop Fuel Company a
large tract of land at Blind Sfaugh
at Knappa. As' soon as the proper
arrangements can be made, which will
probably be in about 30 days, it is
proposed by the fuel company to
start drilling for oil and gas. The
indications on this land look very fa
vorable for oil, it is said, and the
company feel confident that the pro-
duc, wil, be (ound
in paying quan
tities.
Who Hat The Whiskers
Mayor Wise suggests that for a no
table feature during the regatta week
would be an excellent plan to have
a shaving contest for the barbers,
The tonsorial artist who can shave off
a six-inch beard the quickest without
drawing blood gets the prize. It is
'understood that the suggestion meets
I . . . 4 f
to find men with six-mch beards, who
would be willing to sacrifice them,
unless the Mayor be the first to set
the example
Not Deemed Serious
There were disquieting rumors on
the streets here yesterday of a forest
(ire alleged to be raging in the timber
about Oak Point, and in the domain
of the Hammond Lumber Company,
recently acquired from the Hume in
terests. Inquiry at the office of the
company, at Tongue Point, elicits
the fact that the blaze was meagre in
scope and damage and was practical
ly out on the evening . of Thursday
last, though what has transpired since
is not known, though no apprehension
is felt as to the flames again spread
ing. The' damage up to the hour
named was within the $200 mark.
A Wildly West Sho
William A. ("Orcgonian") Macbeth,
who is already described as the "won
derful tamer of wild boys and others
things," has suggested a new plan to
Mayor Wise, chairman of the regatta
committee. Mr. Macbeth isto "have
in the regatta parade whai will be
known as "Macbcth's Wildly West
j Show." In cages especialy prepared
i for the occasion, he will show
trunklcss baby elephants, carriagcless
horses .little monkeys who eat three
times daily, to-wit: breakfast, dinner
and supper; and pie-eating tigers, the
whale show to wind up with a hu
man caliope making ,the most tin
earthly music ever produced. Little
two-legged animals who love fun and
want to, earn ice cream money for the
regatta should see Manager Macbeth.
Here From Detroit
C. T. Rogers, a manufacturer of
machinery for creameries and milk
condensors, is in tha city from De
troit, Mich. Mr. Rogers is at the
head of a large eastern company of
this kind, and is here for the purpose
of trying to interest the dairymen in
this vicinity, who have the establish,-
ment'of a creamery and milk conden
i sory under consideration for Astoria.
, He will probably attend the meeting
! next Monday afternoon, when the
dairymen will assemble at the cham
ber of commerce, to discuss the ad
visability of having'such ati enterprise.
At that time Mr. Rogers' is expected
'to have many valuable suggestions to
, offer that will be of much value .to
the parties interested in this new
proposition.
Getting a Bit Finnicky
I TMi Tlnilw Cirpcrnn Statesman, of
"V - '
Salem, of yesterday, has this to say,
anent the baby stork in these columns
on Thursday last: "Down in Astoria
they count their increase in popula
tion before it is hatched, a physician
having said that he knows of four
scpre 'bouncing little kiddies due to
arrive in the next few months, if alt
goes well This same physician has
been the first lieutenant for the stork
ui just 1507 cases during the past two
decade in that city by the mouth of
the Columbia. P, S. -The use of the
word 'kid'i as applied to a child is de
testably odious, anyway." AH of
which indicates a bit finnicky in his
editor is getting a bit finnicky in his
old days. When it comes to apply
ing pet names to babies and children,
there is no recognized limitation nor
choice of terms.
Park Concerts
Mayor Wise is in receipt of a letter
that enclosed a check for $10 from
Samuel Schmidt, of the Schmidt &
Company. The check is a contribu
tion toward the expense of the band
concerts that will be given at the city
park, and the Mayor says it is one of
the most liberal contributions he has
yet received. Mr. Schmidt writes that
he is heartily in favor of such health
ful and entertaining amusement for
the city. It is hoped that others will
follow this splendid lead and aid with
the necessary funds so that Astoria
can continue with other cities of its
size in giving the public good' music.
The first concert will be given tomor
row afternoon. The Kaleva band,
under the direction of Karl Knoblock,
has been engaged. The music will
start at 2:30 in the afternoon, and
both classic and popular airs will be
rendered.
With The Pharmacists
S. D. Vincent, the well known
"Bucklin pill" drummer, of Portland,
"came to town" yesterday via the
steamer Nahcotta, hailing from "The
Breakers" on the north shore beach,
where he has been hob-nobbing with
the members of the Oregon State
Pharmaceutical Association, in 'a
three-day session. There were 75 of
that cult gathered there, and they had
no end of fun in the intermission
from business, with ball games be
tween the druggists and the traveling
drug men, nail-driving contests
among the ladies, tugs-of-war, egg
and potato races, and foot running
races between the fat and the lean
druggists, the. champions in these be
ing Joe." Marsh, of Wasco, for the
fat men, and W. A. Kuykendall, of
Eugene for the "slats." He met T. F.
Laurin there and D. F. Everett, form
erly of this city, and in the Owl Drug
store, but now of Goldendale.

the business in all its gradations and

Y. M. C. A. and supporter and friend
of the Chatauqua circle itself.
The land involved contains 200 acres
of beautiful beach property lying im

and opposite Morrison's station on
the A. & C, from which railway it is
said a spur will be run to the grounds
