Portland yesterday, that the union

number, had dropped the price of hair

hold their trade as against the non
union shops which were charging the
leaner sum, will have no effect in As
toria. 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.

Frank Kubik being the complainant

said that Wade was also a party to a

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. Bad boys cause most of the
trouble.

Had No License
C. E. Clark was fined $5 In police
court yesterday afternoon on a charge
of peddling without a license. 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." .

Boyhood friends Appear
George W. 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

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.
