Attachment On Saloon
Sheriff Pomeroy went to Seaside
last nilit to serve the papers in the
proceedings of attachment against
Frank Scott, a saloonkeeper of the
fceach town. The American Import
ing Company is the plaintiff in the
matter and claims that it has $213.40
coming from Scott which it has been
unable to collect. The Sheriff pla'Vi
of action, under the attachment pa
pers, was to close the saloon and
place a care taker in charge. Scott is
well known in Seaside and through
out the country.
The Swimming Tank
The foundation for the swimming
tank that is to be constructed in the
basement of the new Allen building at
Eleventh and Duane streets has been
laid. The tank will be approximately
48 feet in length, on the inside, and 16
feet in width. Because of the great
weight of water that the bottom of
the tank must sustain, estimated at
about 125 tons, the bottom is con
structed thickly and strongly, and in
such a manner that the center of the
weight will be directed onto the
thickest parts.

Damaged By Fire
The Eva of Eden, a small gasoline
launch, was badly damaged by fire
early yesterday morning. The craft is
the property of Emo Poukalla who
went on board In search of a leak of
gasoline in one of the pipes. Not
thinking of the danger of carrying a
burning lantern he went below in
the hull, where an explosion occurred
by the leaking gasoline catching fire.
In his effort to extinguish the flames
he was burned about his hands and
face but not in a very serious man
ner. The house is badly wrecked, and
a large quantity of milk and cream
on board is a total loss.

Portland Business Men
Tom Richardson of the Portland
ComnteFcial Club and Manager
Whyte of the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce have for some time been
in communication, regarding the
business men of the Rose City mak
ing an excursion to this city for the
purpose of becoming better acquaint
ed with each other. Portland has for
some time been carrying on these ex
cursions to the towns throughout the
state, and is now planning to visit
Astoria. Mr. Richardson has asked
this city to set a date for their visit,
and Manager Whyte is trying to ar
range the meeting to take place dur

he thinks their trip can be made most
enjoyable.

The demonstration is under the au
spices of the Republican state central
committee. Senator Fulton will be
the principal speaker. It is promised
that the Presidential campaign will
be opened with great enthusiasm as
the result of this gathering of stal
wart Republicans. Steps will be tak
en at the rally to form a Taft club,
the first to be drganized in this state.
A committee will be named to plan
the organization of such an organiza
tion and other clubs will be formed
throughout the state. The idea in
forming these organizations is to
make a strong campaign throughout
the state during the coming fall.
Excellent Regatta Plans.
The regatta committee held a meet

A Suggestive Purchase-
Mr. Hansen, the well known post

master at Frankfort, was in the city to get ashore and again tumbled into
yesterday, and among other cheerful ; the river, and his friend as before
name ,a fisherman, started out with a
friend Monday night and proceeded
to have a good time in Astoria until
a late hour, when they bought a sup
ply of liquor to take with them oa
board their fishing boat that was ly
ing at the dock. After a while they
went for a little cruise on the river,
until their liquor gave out, when they
I again returned to this city to put in
a fresh, supply. They landed at Fish
ermen's Landing when Clayson at
tempted to leave the boat, but his
load was a great deal heavier than he
anticipated, for as soon as he stood
up" in the craft he immediately
tumbled overboard.. His comrade, whe
was in but little better condition,
jumped in after him, and succeeded in
getting him in the boat again. After
a little rest Clayson again attempted
data he was able to furnish from that
N. P. terminal, said, that on Friday
last a Mr. Reed, of Portland, operat
ing confessedly for the Northern Pa
cuicR ailway Company, had concend
ed a purchase, from Frank Bourne, of
140 acres of land at a cost of $27,500;
and would have taken the remaining
160 acres of Mr. Bourne's holdings
at the same ratio, if that gentleman
had been willing to sell it, which he
was not. The conclusion is reasonable
that the N. P. is feathering its termin

where he was staggering near the

again, if an officer had not at this
moment arrived and taken him to the
jail, where he' spent the night iu a
very happy mood, in spite of his wet
and uncomfortable condition.
