Court House Yard
At last, after many vexatious de
lays, the court house yard is practi
cally filed with earth to the requisite
height and soon it will be possible to
plant grass seed, though probably
that will not be done until the side
walks are all laid. Judge Trenchard
said yesterday that the matter of the
concrete sidewalks would be con
sidered at the next session of the
county court.

Staples of the new concern, the equip

stalled at the plant where everything
is in readiness to turn out bricks after

Special Meeting Tonight
A special session of the city coun
cil was yesterday calied by Mayor
Wise, to meet tonight to consider
the granting of a franchise to the
Northwestern Long Distance Tele
phone Company, to install an auto
matic system in this city. The meet
ing is called for the purpose of put

mitted to the next regular meeting of
the common council, next Monday
night, at which time the council will
take definite action.

time. The wagon crowded the horses,
and they became frightened and ran
away. After they had gained a good
start they became uncontrollable, and
the rapid pace over the rough roads
threw Mr, P,rooks from his seat. He
was immediately brought to St.
Mary's hospital where Dr, Estcs set
the compound fracture and dressed
his other injuries which are more
painful than serious.
"Pat" Farrell Taken
"Pat" Farrell, who recently escaped '
from the state asylum for the insane
at Salem, was again taken into cus-j
tody yesterday afternoon. He had re-j
turned to his home in this county and
it was learned that he was there, j
Two guards from the state institu-i
tion came down to Astoria yesterday j
and accompanied by Sheriff Pomeroy j
went out to the Farrell home. He!
was found there and brought into the
city last evening. He is looked upon
as a dangerous man when under the
influence of his mental derangement,
but was taken without difficulty yes
terday. Farrell was working on one
of the roads, having been employed
by a contractor and was apparently
entirely in his' right mind. Sheriff
Pomeroy had learned that Farrell had
reached home and so notified the
two guards from the asylum when
they arrived here at noon yesterday.
They had come down to take Klahn,
the German who was adjudged in
sane, to the asylum, and both Klahn
and Farrell will be taken to' Salem
this, morning.

Good Prospects Ahead
J. A. Fastabcnd is back in the city
from his mining property in the Bo
hernia district up in the Santiam
country, and says that he has been
building over an old road into his
mine, the "Mayflower," and is now at
work on a mile and a half of new
road, which will be done in a few
weeks, when he expects to move his
stamp mill in, set it up, and go to
work on some of the best ore ever
found in that district. He leaves to
day for the Sound country and will
return from there to his mine, where
it is hoped he may find all that he is
hoping for.

Got Terrible Beating
To go on a spree, to get beaten up
badly by a police officer's club, and
then to be fined $10, was the rapid
series of events that befell Gabriel
Mithaelovich, a fisherman. Mithaelo
vich appeared in police court yester
day in a frightful condition. His
hair and beard were matted with
dried blood, and during the progress
of his hearing he sat there and picked
clots of blood from his mustache and
from his hands. Mayor Wise sat on
the judicial bench in the absence of
Police Judge Anderson and imposed
the. fine. That the prisoner, who is
not a large man, had received a ter
rible beating, was evident.
Battalion To Come
It developed yesterday, that as a
result of a pleasant correspondence
had lately as between Hon. Herman
Wise, mayor of this city, and Captain
Lamereaux, commanding at Fort
Stevens, in which Mr. Wise, as chair
man of the Regatta committee, ex
tended a cordial invitation to the offi
cers of the posts at the mouth of the
river to attend the Regatta as the
guests of the committee, that a full
battalion of the troops stationed
there, will be despatched. to this city
at the proper time, to make one of
the leading features of the regatta
parade. This evinces a hearty and
appreciated interest in the coming
event by the officers and the conces
sion will be long remembered here.

Expecting a Teacher
Gus Groonel, who lives out Neha-
lcm way, in the Elsie school district,
No. 35, came to town last evening
looking for a school teacher for the
Groonel school, which is only a short
distance from the Elsie school. Mr.
Groonel was expecting to find a
teacher here waiting for him, and he
nay find her in town yet before he
leaves. Miss McGreevy, of Seattle,
who has been teaching there, left re
cently to take a better paying posi
tion in Montana, and the district then

THE INDEFATIGABLE HISTOR
IAN OF OREGON PLAYING UP
THE GIANT FIRS OF COUNTY
AND GATHERING DATA
George H. Himes, the well knows
pioneer, historian and busy citizen, of
Oregon, is in Astoria again much to
the delight of his many friends here.
He comes down at fairly frequent in
tervals, and always has something rf
interest to the State and its people
to come after.
When he was touring Clatsqs
county some seven years ago he had
an eye out especially for the finer
specimens of the Clatsop firs, and as
he found the bigger trees he made a
note of their girth and heieht and
condition generally, against future
i use and record. At that time he
son sinks to the knees every step found one &reat.ye"ow fellow, just
wesi vi viaisKanie, wnicn measures
13 feet in diameter, and in convert-
he takes.
"They have about 4000 cases put
up now; the fish have not been run
ning very good so far, and now they
have been coming in better the last
two days and think we will have a
good pack.
"We made our first trip out to
sea, today, about 16 miles from the
cannery, and are now laying at an
chor waiting for the fishermen to
catch the scow load and then we
will take it to the cannery and that
will be about all the running we do
in one day. I am writing while we
are at anchor out here and it is very
nice to get away from the cannery
after laying there so long.
"Last Saturday was my birthday
and had a nice time of it. Capt. An-
tonsen and wife and Mrs. Belland
and I took a rowboat and went up
the river and spent the day; we took
a basket of lunch along, took in all
the sights, including a couple of In
dian residences, and their mode of
living. We . got several boquets of
wild owers and where we picked them
you could take two or three steps and
you would be on a snow bank. We
were going to take a picture of the
snow and ice together but we were
just getting ready when the launch
'Success' came after us and as the
tide was falling fast we had to go for
there is not enough water for the
launch when the tide is half out. -
"The strange thing up here, though,
is that it never gets dark; since I
have been here a person could read
a paper at midnight; it bothered me
so that I could not sleep for about
two waeks, but I am getting used to
it now and can sleep most any old
time.
"The steamer Alarm is a fine little
boat; she is built something like the
Lottie, only not so large; has a fine
engine and outfit and is the fastest
boat up here, so you can bet I have
lots of fun playing with them, in running."

ing recently with M. W. Gorman,
superintendent of the Forestry Build
ing, at Portland, he mentioned this
tree, and Mr. Gorman expressed a
desire to see the Clatsop woods that
contained thft tree. So they are both
here, and yesterday went out to the
spot and took particular note of the
monster.
The tree is a splendid type of the
yellow fir, and for over 100 feet from
the ground is free of limb or pole
It was carefully photographed by Mr.
Keiser, the Portland artist, who was
with them, in fact several different
views, and they will be scheduled at
the Forestry department on their re
turn. In the group to which this
tree belonged, there were over SO
trees of ten foot diameter.
