The president of ihe local union, Mr, Cadonau, said last evening, that all union towns and shops are quite independent of the action taken at any given center, and set their own scales and adhere to them, or reduce, or advance them, as the exigencies of the local business warrant, without reference to what any other town or union may do. Astoria prices, he said, remains as they are. Wade Is Arrested R. A. Wade, the attorney, who act ed as the promoter of the oil findings across the river, gave himself up to the police at Portland late Monday afternoon, after learning that he was about to bc arrested. Wade is charg ed with two cases of embezzlement, Frank Kubik being the complainant in each case. William H. Shea is also suing Wade, charging that the latter mulcted him out of $1500, Wade may aiso oe cnargea with torgery. It is said that Wade was also a party to a timber land deal which has heretofore not been brought ,to light, and which was made in one of the banks of this city. 1 Piano Number With Each $5 Sale to WISE Customers Insure Your Sox Are your tox imuredt Wear "Holeproof" Sox.

May Repair Pest House The suggestion made in the com mon council Monday night that a tent might be the best -plan of solving the pest-house problem apparently does not meet with the entire favor of those directly interested in the mat ter. It is pointed out that in the win ter time a tent would probably prove a pretty damp and cold place for a sick man in the Astoria climate. With a tent it is thought that a good floor would prove indispensible. It is deem ed probable that the present pest house will be fixed up, and perhaps portable windows and a portable door may be made, so that they could be removed when the building is not in use.

Clark dropped into town several days ago and began selling coat and trouser hangers, made out of wire, which he alleges he makes himself. In police court the defendant said that he had sold his wares all over Oregon and had never been arrested before, inas much as the authorities were satisfied to let him dispose of wares that he himself manufactured. Police Judge Anderson, however, read the Astoria ordinance, which provides that none but farmers are permitted to sell goods, of their own production or not, in the city of Astoria. This extraor dinarily extreme municipal law seem ed to feaze Clark. "I say, judge," he j said, "if you give me a chance to leave town, I'll go." .

Lounsberry, clerk of the water commission, was pleasantly surprised yesterday afternoon when two friends of his boyhood days back cast called in his office to see him They were George W. Poore and H. H. Poore, of Boston, and Mr. Lounsberry, had not seen either of them for 28 years. They had been boys together in Massachusetts and had gone to school together. It was during Mr. Lounsberry's buriest hour yesterday afternoon when the two visitors stepped into the water com mission's office and Mr. Lounsberry glanced at them and then began to wonder if he hadn't seen them some where before, but he couldn't place them. Then they stepped forward and introduced themselves. It was a pleasant meeting all around, and the only drawback to it was that the two Easterners could not stay. They had come down from Portland on the Spencer especially to see Mr. Louns berry and had only a few minutes, as they wished to go back on the steam er. Mr. Lounsberry wore a smile all afternoon after his old time friends had gone, and again he renewed his determination to go tack east and visit his childhood home in Charles ton, under the shadow of Bunker Hill Twenty-eight years is a long time. Articles of Incorporation Artictes of incorporation were filed in the office of the county clerk yes terday of the Astoria Automatic Tele phone Company, this being the or ganization that is to handle the fran chise granted by the common council to the Northwestern Long Distance Telephone Company. Evidently the franchise is to be assigned to the in corporation. The Astoria Automatic Telephone Company is capitalized at $100,000, divided into 1000 shares of $100 each and "the three incorporators are George E. Waggoner, G. C. 'Ful ton and John H. Whyte. The law re quires that there shall be at least three incorporators, and the plan now is to go ahead and interest as much local capital in the concern as is pos sible, according to Mr. Waggoner. The principal office of the incorpora tion will be in this city. The fran chise granted to the telephone com pany was drawn by City Attorney Abercrombie and as far as can be now seen is in most excellent shape, and apparently is quite fair to both the company and the city. It is un derstood that work is to be com menced on the new system very soon. The company has 30 days in which to accept , the franchise. .Unless all signs are without meaning in this case, it looks as if Astoria is to wit ness a merry telephone war in which the city ought to come out ahead. HIR AMATSU, A JAPANESE FISHERMAN. FALLS FROM A SCOW AT THE SANBORN-CUT-TING CANNERY. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, while loading a salmon-head scow beneath the fish platform of the San-born-Cutting cannery in this city, Hir Amatsu, a Japanese engaged in haul ing this commodity to the De Force oil plant, lost his footing on the scow and fell into the Columbia and was drowned. Amatsn was a married man, his wife living in Japan, and is said to have been a faithful worker and tem perate man. He was 36 years of age, and had many friends among his countrymen here. He was evidently alone when the accident happened, but as soon as he was missed, some Japanese began "poling for the body and found it about an hour after he is supposed to have gone overboard. Coroner J. A. Gilbaugh was notified about 7 o'clock and at once took of ficial charge of thes body. The coro ner made careful search of the body for any wounds or contusions that might point to foul play, but did not discover the slightest trace of any thing of the sort. An inquest is not likely to be held unless a physician's scrutiny ' of the remains, today, shall develop some good reason for such an investigation. Amatsu has a brother in business in Portland and he has been telegraphed for and will be down on the Hassalo early this morning, or on the noon express. On his arrival the final disposition of the body will be decided and the question of the inquest will also be determined. SECURE MOM FOR DAIRY PLANS SUM OF $3000 ALREADY SE CURED AND BIG MEETING OF FARMERS CALLED FOX NEXT SATURDAY. , In the office of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday it was announc ed that plans are progressing rapidly to organize the dairy interests of thia locality, on both sides- of the Colum bia river. The sum of $3000 was rais ed yesterday. This will be used as nucleus to start a condensory in As toria, and as this sum was raised witk out any effort at all it is presume that $7000 more can be secured with out much trouble. It is desired te have $10,000 back of the condensory enterprise. A meeting has been called for next Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce of all the farmers in this community who are interested in the dairy or condensory matters, and a big meeting is expect ed. John H. Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce has worked hard for several weeks in thoroughly analyz ing the situation, and has compiled wide fields of information, and at the meeting on Saturday the whole mat ter will be gone over in detail. There are several well known gentleme who believe that the dairy and con densory matter is the most important question now before the residents ot this community, barring none other, and there seems no doubt that real ization of the plans now on foot wiH mean much for Clatsop county. The most important fact seems to be that the plan includes the bringing here of a large number of Germans as settlers on the lands throughout the county. Yesterday Dr. Barr and Mc Wiese, the German who is here, went over to the Gray's River region oa the dairy matter. Subscribe to The Morning Astorian. 60c per- month by mail or carrier.
