A Pleaaant Suggestion
A group of old fire fighting veterans
were discussing the lively days an4
duties of the volunteer period in As

that it might be an appreciated cour
tesy if the Regatta Committee in
vitcd them to a roster and rally dur
ing the coming Regatta, with what of
the ancient apparatus can be sum
moned and in the old hats and shirts
of the days when "de boys" ran "wid
der rhasheen;".
Old Captain 111
Capt. Robert Mills the well known
steamboat man, and captain of the
four-masted British bark Kclburn, is
reported to be quite ill at St. Vincent's
hospital at Portland. The captain
about a 'month ago left St. Mary's
hospital in thia city, apparently re
covered from an attack of gout. Lat
er he went to Portland where he was
again taken down to such an extent
that he was removed to the hospital
where he is now in a critical condi
tion. The Kelburn is now loading
lumber for London at the Linton mill,
and is scheduled to sail in about three
weeks.

er, now of the Coast Artillery in the
East, who was assigned to command
of the Forts at the mouth of the Co

Long Run, No Fire
At 4:15 o'clock yesterday evening,
an alarm of fire was rung in to head
quarters and on the instant three sets
of apparatus were flying westward
through the city to No. 216 Alameda
street, the home of Victor Heinonen,
fisherman, where a smoking chim
ney was all that needed attention. The
department is always particularly
eager about a Uniontown alarm, on
on account of the prevalent winds out
there, its remoteness from the main
fire stations and the congested condi
tions of the home sites and streets of
that part of the city; and every run
that is made there, emphasizes the
sheer need of a full station and ap
paratus right there, which would not
only protect that section, but assist
in fires well to the eastward of it. It
is a long flight for the teams even
from Hose No, 1 and Chemical No. 1.
Chinook's Phones ' '
We are to have telephone service
galore in Chinook, all along the beach
and to the outside world, says the
Chinook Observer. The services here
tofore has been more or less on the
BUM, but that condition is no more.
S. J. Baseel, who owns the local line,
has put cross-arms on his poles and
will have three phone divisions. He
will install a switch board and give
prompt service to Ft. Columbia, Mc
Gowan, Astoria, and over long dist
ance to Portland andelsewhere. J. A.
Howerton was in town this week.
The poles carrying his line to the
depot and up to Megler are to be put
up immediately and he proposes to
put phones in town wherever he can.
The Howerton system has its head
quarters in the store of Dan Williams,
where a switchboard was installed
Wednesday. The Baseel system has
headquarters in Baseel's store, where
the switchboard is to be placed and
arrangements made to operate the
phones day and night.

them" of course, like everyone, we have medium grade
cate to teach and will take up her
duties Monday morning. Miss Emma
C. Warren, superintendent of schools,
said yesterday that there are eleven
schools in the country now in ses
sion. One or more of them closed
down for a few weeks during' the
haying season but will open again
for the summer. The summer schools
are gradually being done away with,
as the roads are being bettered to
such an extent that winter schools
are readily possible. In the Big
Slough district the children have to
go to school in boats, however, at
least some of them do, and there the
winter time is not very propitious for
the little folks.
