the first name seemed to be a very
unusual one, but it was the one the
new parents wished and the Judge
attorney, Mr, Urownell, for the pur
pose of having some definite action
taken, in the matter. Several years
ago Mr, Oman held the position of
superintendent, and at the expiration
of his term his accounts were in such
shape that they showed a credit to
the county of gome sixty or seventy
dollars, It is not believed that there
was the slightest intention of crimin
ality or wrongdoing on the part of
Mr,. Oman, and he explained the
seeming shortage in this manner
that while he had actually made ex
penditures amounting to between $60
and $70, that he did not have the
vouchers to show that the expendi
tures bad been made, But without
the receipts the county court could
not recognize the expenditures as
valid ones, and therefore no settle
ment of the matter was ever made.
As the matter now stands, the county
books show that Mr. Oman is in-

Certificate of Approval
The city street officer have filed in
the city auditor's office a certificate of
approval of the completion of the
improvement work done on Mel

formed by John Slotte & Company,
the contract price being $112.20.
Speak At Church '
During the absence of the pastor,
Rev. C. C. Rarkk, several business
and professional men are occupying
the pulpit of the First Methodist
Episcopal church. Tomorrow morning
J. II, Petersen will talk on the sub
ject of "Believing and Obeying," and
in the evening J. M, Anderson will
talk on the subject of young men who
succeed in life and business.
Delightful Social
The Ladies' Aid Society of the
Memorial Lutheran Church, gave a
delightful social at the home of Mr.
Matt Nyland, on Fourteenth street
Thursday evening. Addresses were
delivered by T. A. Hemplc, the young
attorney who is in the city from Chi
cago, and the Rev. P. J. O'Connell of
Hraddock, Pa. A splendid musical
program ' was rendered: Piano solos
by Miss Brix of Portland and Miss
Stenscn of this city; vocal solos by
Mr. Smith, little Miss Nora Wiliet,
and a vocal solo duet by the Rev.
Rydquist and Mrs. Rydquist, were a
pleasing feature of the evening's en
tcrtainmcnt. During the evening ice
cream and cake were served by the
ladies, and the evening was pronounc

among its beauties and
grandeur. Mr. Gilbert says that it
was very warm on some of the days
that he was in the cast, and the day
before his arrival in Chicago there
were nineteen prostrations from the
heat there. The hard times, too, are
far more noticable in the eastern
states than here, Mr. Gilbert says.
Many vacant houses may be seen in
the cities and thousands of men are
without employment.
Electric Light Pole
The electric light pole that stands
directly in front of the court house
steps has been an eye-sore to many
ever since the structure was complet
ed. The county court, with Judge
Trenchard as the one who took the
matter most to heart, decided that
something should be done to have
the unsightly pole removed and ap
pealed to the electric light company
for some action. Yesterday Judge
Trenchard said the company had not
even answered his last communica
tion to them on the matter, and it
seems apparent that the pole will be
left standing unless some action can
be taken to compel its removal.. The
whole matter has been referred to
the district attorney, and the county
court is hoping that he will get it
down if he has to ta,ke a little hatchet
and go to work on it. If the pole
were placed a little to either side of
the steps it would not be so objec
tionable in the aesthetic eyes of the
county court and community.

The recent sale of thellnc mills and properties of the Tongue
Point Lumber Company to the Hammond , Lumber Company, in
this city, gave rise to a desire with very many people to know
something of the scope of the business done by Astoria's greatest
plant of the seven impinging upon her channels and going hence
through her custom house, and as the record has been kept and
tabulated there with indubitable accuracy, the following statement
of the shipments hence by that company for the six months of the
present year are given below, just as an indication of the import
ance of the great industry as it figures here, a standard from which
some interesting and prideful facts may be elicited:
