Army Changes Billeted
Word has oeen received at the
posts at the mouth of the river that
First Lieutenant B. H. Kerfoot, of
Fort Stevens, has been transferred to
Fort Hamilton, N. Y., and Captain
Phisterer, of Fort Columbia, to Fort
Wadsworth, N. V. Both officers are
waiting formal and official notice and
orders, and will leave almost imme
diately upon receipt of same. Col.
White, who is now at Portland, Me.,
advised the lieutenant of the prospec
tive change, which he saw in a serv
ive journal back East, and Captain
Phisterer. also heard of his probable
transfer through family friends. It's
anothear case of "going sway from
'home to hear the news."
Transfer . Pending
Lieut. Col. S. W. Roesslcr and
Major Mclndce have made a" detailed
examination of all conditions and
equipment as they exist at the Co
lumlumbia jetties, and returned to
the metropolis on yesterday morn
ing's train. The formal transfer to
Major Mclndce will be made in the
course of a very few days and the
colonel will depart for his new and
important post in New York harbor.
Th echange in the heads of the engi
neering department of the Columbia
does not affect any, of the staff now
in service at the jetties, and is confin
ed wholly to the headquarters and
the officers in charge of the big dis
trict. Finland Election
Of much interest to the Finnish
rodents of Astoria ill e he news
of the recent perliamentarian election
held in Finland on July 1. According
to advices- received yesterday by the
Toveri, the local Finnish paper, the
election resulted as follows: Social
ist, 84 seats; Conservative party,
54 seats; Constitutional party, SO
seats; Agrarian league, 10 seats;
Christian socialist party, 2 seats. The
Socialist gained four seats, the Con
scrvtaive party lost four, the Ag
rarian league lost one, and the
Christian socialists, won one seat.
The advices apparently show that
the most decided gains were made by
the Socialists.
Made Their Escape
Yesterday Chief of Police Charles
Gammal received instructions by wire
from th( Portland authorities to ap
prehend and hold two young larcen
ists who were alleged to have de
camped from the metropolis on the
State of California. When the ship
arrived the chief and his officers met
!her and put the gangway under sur
jveillance, while two of the patrolmen
'made an exhaustive search of the
! vessel, but without avail. The men
were registered as passengers, and
they either failed to take passage out
on her, or eluded the officers by hid
ing successfully during her stay in
this port. If on board they will .be
captured at San Francisco.
Postoffi.ee Busy
The postoffice herfeafter will be
open on Sundays and holidays be
tween the hours of one and two in
the afternoon instead of from 12:30
to 1:30 'o'clock as heretofore. The
business at -the postoffice has so great
ly increased, that at the end of this
year it is thought at least one more
carrier will be engaged to deliver the
mail, and possibly several additional
'ones, if the business continues to in
j crease as it is at, the present time.
Postmaster Hahn is having a number
of new mail' boxes distributed
: throughout the city, some of which
'are replacing the old ones, but a
'number of them are being erected in
; new locations.
Telephone Improvement-
Manager J. A. Brunold, of the As
toria service of the Pacific State:
Telephone Company, has received ad
vices trom Division superintendent
J. W. Gilkyson, at Portland, that a
force of 10 men will be sent here
ACCOUNTS WERE IN
PERFECT SHAPE
MR. VAN DUSEN'S BOOKS AS
FISH WARDEN, .COVERING
SEVEN YEARS, EXPERTED
FOR THE GOVERNOR.
The expert accountant who went
over the records kept by II. G. Van
Duscn, during his term of office as
Master Fish Warden of the State of
Oregon, has made his report to Gov
ernor Chamberlain, The report as
submitted to the governor shows that
the accounts were all in excellent
shape; the full report is herewith
given, covering a period of seven
years;
To the Hon. Geo. E. Chamberlain,
Governor of Oregon.
Sir; I have as directed made an
audit of the books of the Master
Fish Warden, H. G. Van Dusen, dur
ing the entire period in which he held
office, viz., from March, 1901, to April
3f), 1908, and submit statements
hcrewtih covering receipts and remit
tances to the State Treasurer by
him. '
I carefully compiled from the stubs
of every license issued under every
head given in the statements and
found the numbers to be correct is
accounted for in the cash book.
I examined the applications on file
to see if the business of the appli
cant for theprevious year, warranted
the classification named in license and
the fee obtained; also that the size
of seines to be used corresponded
with the classification; all of which I
found to be correct. I also referred
to the laws and amendments thereto,
to see that the proper fees were
charged for licenses in every case.
In 1906 there were seven canners'
licenses for which there are no ap
plications On file. These were issued
I understand, upon an interview by
the Warden and upon verbal applica
tions. ,'
I checked the State Treasurer's re
ceipts and found them to agree with
the remittances entered in cash book.
The books and records have been
well and carefully kept, but I think
the methods and system may be im
proved so as to have a permanent
record in book form of all licenses
issued.
I would suggest also that the re
ceipts be entered and cash balanced
daily, and that the cash should be de
posited daily in some bank here to
credit of the State Treasurer so that
there would be no accumulation of
funds in the Warden's possession
above one day's receipts.
I have made these suggestions to
your present Warden and ruled sam
ple pages for the necessary books
along the above lines. The total re
ceipts throughout the above named
period, I find to have been as follows:
Total receipts year 1901...$ 10,038.20
'" " 1902... 11,134.55
" " 1903... 16,568.28
" ' " 1904... 17,952.30
" " " 1905... 22,673.54
" 1906... 27,224.29
1907... 26,219.80
Receipts to April, 30, 1908. 14,445.85
Total . .$146,256.81
Remittances per State Treasurer's
receipts, $146,256.81.
Respectfully yours,
W. R. MACKENZIE,
Accountant.
early in this week to finish out the
interrupted improvements inaugu
rated last fall, such as connecting up
the subscribers' phones with the new
cables that have been strung, and cut
ting out the old open wires all over
the city. This will leave Astoria with
as fine a cable service as there is on
the coast, and amenable to what sub
sequent, perfected additions may be
installed in the office of the company,
all of which follow as soon as prac
ticable.
Sea, Bay and River
Marine items are getting scarcer
than the proverbial hens' teeth in this
port lately, and happily it is the only
rlpnrth that is noticeable. Yesterday
afternoon the fine old State of Cali
fornia caitie down the river with Z50
passengers on board, and took on two
more here, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Johnson, the happy young bride and
groom who were married at the home
of the groom's sister, Mrs. Archibald
McLean, an hour before the ship
arrived. Thev eot a great send-off
at the piers, and went away amid the
cheers and farewell shouts ot their
friends ashore and the passengers on
board. The steamer Nome City was
the only other craft that went to the
marine record here during the day,
and she left out for Coos Bay. at 5
o'clock.
To Extend Grand Avenue
A communication has been filed in
the city auditor's office by M. J.
Kinney, asking the city to extend
Grand avenue in McClure's addition,
east from Twelfth street as now laid
out. The council will take the mat
ter up at their next meeting, but it

is thought they will not look upon
the proposition favorably, unless the
street can be "extended through to
Fourteenth street in Shively's addi
tion. If the street is extended as
Mr. Kinney asks it will Jeave it
without an outlet while, on the other
hand, if extended to Fourteenth
street it will necessitate the condemn
ing of a portion of the Wilkinson and
Company and S. Elmore's proper
ties. It is hoped that the city coun
cil will consent to have the street
cut through to Fourteenth street and
thus perfect a much needed conven
ient thoroughfare.
An Incipient Strike
'The government work at the
jetty is tied up for a few days, owing
to a' disagreement that transpired
there yesterday between the locomo
tive engineers on the work and the
officers in charge. Under the rules
prevailing on the work, about 220
daily workmen are entitled to a half
holiday on Saturday afternoon, but
the engineers, being monthly employ
es, do not come within the range of
that order, though they insisted yes
terday that they did, and refused to
go to work unless they received time
and a half, for the half day in ques
tion. . It was necessary to discharge
thein, six in number, and the work
is simply brought to a standstill un
til their places can be filled on the
engines. The engineers probably
believe in the justice of their claim,
and the officers in charge of the work,
could not grant the privilege, hence
the untoward condition that has
been invoked.
Woman Truancy Officer
The suggestion made yesterday by
a well known resident of Astoria
that it might prove an excellent plan
for the board of education to retain
the services of a woman truancy offi
cer for the coming school year. Last
year 200 cases of .truancy were re
ported to the chief of police, accord
ing to the records in the superinend
ent of school's office, but apparently
the police did nothing with the boys
who were remaining away from
school in defiance of a state law.
Considerable interest has been
aroused by the recent publication in
The Astorian of the alarming number
of children of school age who do not
attend the city schools, and at the
recent meeting of the school board
the matter was discussed. Now it ap
pears as if some of the well known
ladies are preparing to take the mat
ter up, nd will lend their influence
to back up the board in any plan it
may decide uj(on to .mitigate the
evil.
