ROUTE OF ELECTRIC
LINE IS LAID
WILL GO OVER THE HEIGHTS
ON FOURTEENTH STREET
UNLESS CERTAIN DIFFICUL.
TIES ARISE, IT IS SAID.
The survey party that is laying the
line for the electric railway to Sea
side is progressing rapidly with its
work, and when it stopped last night
was well on the other side of the
Lewis and Clark river. The men are
securing their board and lodging
along the route, thus avoiding the
otherwise necessary plan of living in
tents. F. L. Evans, the promotor of
the enterprise, keeps in active charge
of all the work and last night said
that the line should be completed to
Seaside within two or three weeks at
the outside.
So far the survey party has met
with no serious obstacles, though
one man, the owner ot a
fine little five-acre patch, started to
object to their crossing his place. He
thought the men would destroy his
crops. This difficulty was soon ami
cably settled, however, and the work
went on.
Of much interest to the people of
Astoria will be the publication of,the
route that the survey party took in
going over the heights back of the
city. It is understood tnat tnis line
as surveyed will be changed to some
other part of the city. The survey
out of the city ran as follows:
Starting at Twelfth and Duane,
thence south on Twelfth to Franklin;
thence on Franklin to Eleventh street
and thence up Eleventh to Irving;
thence east on Irving to Twelfth and
up Twelfth to Jerome; thence east on
Jerome to Fourteenth, and thence
south and over the heights on Four
teenth. From the summit of the hill
the line then runs on an easy slope
of about six' per cent to Young's river
bridge, and will cross the river on a
trestle on the wes side of the bridge, j
will avoid the necessity of cross
ing the county road on the south side
of the river. The stockholders of the
company are said to be well pleased
with the business-like maner in which
Mr. Evans is going ahead with the
work. Thus far there has not been a
hitch, and it is understood that the
right of way is not giving any trouble.
Most of the men who own property
out in the country are only too eager
to have the line run near or across
their lands, and some have even gone
so far as to suggest that certain in
ducements might be offered to get
the route changed so that 'it would
run nearer to their lands. Every, one
seems to believe that the company
means business and that the building
of the line is only a matter of time
now.
Asked last night if the heights back
of the city offered any seriously diffi
cult grades, Mr. Evans said: "The
way I have mapped out the route at
present avoids any bad grades. The
worst grade is of 12 per cent, and
that is only for about a block. From
the 12 per cent the grades ease off to
as low as 7 per cent. The Council
Crest grade in Portland is over 20
per cent, and thus you will see that
the 12 per cent grade here and for
only a short distance at that pre
sents no great difficulty. All-in-all I
am well satisfied with the way the
line is going," concluded Mr. Evans.

LITTLE GIRL BADLY
CRUSHED. BY LOG
MAUDE MAY MALOTT, OF
' PORTLAND KILLED IN
STANTLY SUNDAY AFTER
NOON AT LONG BEACH.
The terrible accident .that happened
to little Maude May Malott of Port
land, last Sunday afternoon at Long
Beach by a drift-log rolling over her.
body, was possibly the most pathetic
of all the not infrequent accidents that
yearly occur at that popular resort.
The little girl was taken to the beach
Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday,
by Mr. C. Crandall whose family,
consisting of his wife, two little girls,
d two boys, were spending a few
weeks at the resort. Sunday afternoon
little Maude and the little Crandall
girls secured bathing suits and joined
the hundreds of bathers. The chil
dren stayed near the edge of the
water and were playing around an
old log, sitting on top of it and hav
ing great sport. The big breakers
would come in and rock them to and
fro, and some times tumbling them
into the water. During their play
many speectators on the beach were
watching them, little thinking that in
a few moments one of the little girls
would be stretched out on the sand
with her happy life crushed out.
After a time the two little Crandall
children became weary of the sport
and little Maude played alone on the
log. The breakers were unusually
heavy at this time. Suddenly a great
powerful one rolled in raising the log
several feet. The little girl held on
for a moment, but the log turned,
throwing her over backwards. She
scrambled about in the water trying
to get out, but the outgoing wave
carried her body beneath the piece of
water-soaked timber which settled
down in the sand, crushing the life
out of the child instantly. She was
tenderly removed as soon as possible
by a man who was near, and was
carefully laid on the sand, where it
was at first thought she was only
stunned. Hundreds of bathers crowd
ed around the girl who presented a
pitiful picture. Blood was streaming
from her mouth, eyes and ears. Wom-
ne on all sides became hysterical and
many fainted. One young lady in
particular fainted, and it was not un
til she was worked over for fully 30
minutes that she was revived. Little
Maude was taken to the Long 'Beach
hotel where a doctor examined her
and found that her neck was broken,
the back of the skull crushed and al
most every bone in her breast broken.
A coroner's inquest was held. The
body was then placed on the train
and taken to Megler, and then re
moved onto the steamer Potter and
taken to Portland, whlfre her heart
broken parents, who in the meantime
had been notified, were awaiting her
a'rrival. ;

LOST CHILDREN CRE
ATE ANXIETY
TWO UNIONTOWN : CHAPPIES
TAKES A- VOYAGE OF DIS
COVERY AND UPSET THE
PEACE OF ALL.'
The Uniontown homes of little
Elmer Juntt and Urho Rahkonen,
afced 7 and 6 years, respectively, were
made happy by the return of these
youngsters from an unaccountable ab
sence of 30 hours' duration which
time their families and friends had
scoured the peninsula for them.
They left home at 9 o'clock on Sat
urday evening last and played their
way out to Smith's Point where they
were last seen about noon on that
day. As night approached the mem
bers of the families went out after
them and searched all possible near;
by fields, without avail and put in a
miserable night of apprehension; and
at dawn, on Sunday, a general alarm
was passed and Karl Knobloch head
ed a group of ISO determined mcij,
organized a deliberate and extensive
"fan" and went out on the work
eagerly and consistently. The line
was nearly three-quarters of a mile
long and no bush nor hollow, in Tay
lor's Astoria was left unexamined and
the search was carried on all over the
hills as far back as flic Young's
Bay bridge, but without avail.
Mr. Knobloch enlisted the good of
fices of Mayor Wise and that gentle
man soon had all the farm and sub
urban 'phones ringing ovef the south
and westt sides, but all inquiries
proved fruitless.
Just as the searching party was
about to be divided and sent further
afield, and, about noon, word came
that the little chaps had been located
on a fish-barge at the Sand Island
seining grounds, having gone over
there in a launch early on Saturday
afternoon. The barge man,' being
lonesome, kept the children with him
until it .was too late to send them
ashore, the launch having gone on to
the city with the day's catch, and
there they stayed until despatched
ashore shortly after noon on Sunday.
They were in good order but very,
... ' , m
very glad to get nome again, me
search was called off and the eager
friends engaged in it were cordially
thanked and then, in turn, took part
in the rejoicing consequent upon the
happy issue of the scare.
It is needless to say that neither
the man who tolled them onto the
launch, nor the' one who kept them
on the barge all night for company's
sake, were married men, or the silly
trick would never have been played.

FOR NAVAL BATTLE
IN REGATTA
MEMBERS OF PORTLAND ROSE
FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION
GIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR THE
USE OF FLOATS.
To have a brilliantly illuminated
water parade on the river at night,
and this to be followed by a wonder
ful exhibition of pyrothechnics in the
guise of a naval battle, is the sugges
tion for the Astoria regatta made by
George L. Hutchins, manager of the
Portland Rose Festival, and G. B.
Thomas, one of its prominent mem
bers. Several weeks ago the Chamber of
Commerce addressed a letter to the
Portland Rose Festival Association
asking for any suggestions that might
be made to better the Atoria re
gatta. Yesterday Mr. Hutchins and
Mr. Thomas came down to this city
and spent most of the day in discuss
ing plans for the regatta with Man
ager Whyte of the Chamber of
Commerce and other gentlemen in
terested in the matter. The sugges
tions of the Portland gentlemen were
received ' gladly by members of the
local committee and it is highly
probable that the plan of the great
water spectacle will be acted upon.
But they did more than offer sug
gestions. They also proffered to As
toria the use of as many of the floats
that , had been used in the Portland
Rose Festival as this city may desire
to utilize in the regatta festivities.
They are offered free of charge, it
being understood that Astoria should
merely pay for the transportation to
and from Portland.' There are per
haps 10 or 12 of the floats that would
be highly appropriate in the regatta.
The generous activities of the mem
bers of the Portland organization,
both in suggestions and plans as
well as in the offer of the use of the
floats are highly appreciated by
Astoria. .
It is admitted On all. sides that the
idea of a naval battle as a part of the
regatta festivities is an attractive one.
It would be readily possible to con
struct great "forts" and "battleships"
for the occasion that would 'appear
highly realistic under the glare of red
fire and bursting bombs and sky
rockets, while it is believed that the
cost of such an entertainment would
not prove very great.

MRS. BE1IISII DENIES
THE CHARGES
THE WOMAN ACCUSED BY
SALVATION ARMY OFFICIAL
TALKS FOR HERSELF AND
ENTERS GENERAL DENIAL.
Mrs. Robert Bemish, who was ac
cused of having collected funds in
the name of the Salvation Army and
of not turning them over to the or
ganization, came to Astoria yesterday
from Seaside and made a strong and
impassioned denial of all the charges
and i finucndoes made by Major
Faulkner.
Her side of the story places an en
tirely different light on the matter.
The Salvation Army officer called up
on the public to take cognizance of
the fact that Mrs. Bcmish is no long
er a member of the organization, and
to this she replies that for two
months she has not had any affiliation
with the army and has not worn the
uniform during that period. She sayl
the army is angered towards her
because she left them. She denies
that she ever collected a cent that she
didn't turn over to the army. Last
winter, Mrs. Bemish says, she and
her husband were detailed to go to
Wallace, Idaho, and were given $25
for their fare. When they arrived
there, they found the camp closed
down and could make no collections.
Because the Bemishcs did not go
down into their own pockets and re
turn this $25, Mrs. Bemish says,
Major Faulkner began to find fault.
Mrs. Bemish says she docs not
know what is done with all the money
collected in Astoria by the members
of the army. She says that Major
Fa,ulkncr sends collectors down here
frequently. Her husband is now em
ployed in Spokane. She is at Sea
side, staying with friends, and is a
member of the Methodist Church
there, and also is president of the Ep
worth League. Mrs, Bemish is of
motherly and benign appearance and
evidently is able to give Major Faulk
ner just about as good as he sends.' At
all events, it seems evident that her
friends don't believe that her actions
have been open t'o criticism.
