The Best Ever Cathlamct intends to make her 1908 Regatta the finest ever. Her people are preparing to make September 5th, 'next, a red-letter day in the history !of her attempts at entertainment 'along this line, and it is certain to j eclipse all former efforts. -She in tends to make even Astoria ait tip and take notice. 'New Citkent j August Krickson made application for hit final citizenship papers in the 'office of the county clerk yesterday. The date of hit final hearing was set for February 16, of next year. Two declarations were also filed, by Frank F.udorious Johanson and John Gott frid Johanson, both natives of Swe den. Fire Died Down The fire that started running up the slope across the river Tuesday afternoon apparently died away, for yesterday nothing could be seen of it from this side. It, was also report ed that the fire back of Cathlamct, re ported several days ago, did no ser ious damage. It burned over the log-ged-off lands around Bradley's camp. Flrt At Rock Crasher A report reached this city yester day that the new rock crusher and its engine, out beyond OIney, had been badly damaged by fire the previous niuht. Exact information was receiv ed last evening, according to which the damage proves not to have been very serious. The fire started in the brush and ran over the hill and crept up on the rock crusher. The engine was damaged slightly but will prob- Chocolates the best in the world 50c a Pound, and 1 Scholfleld & Mattson Co.

Stricken With Paralysis A telegram was received by Mrs. t'npe Tuesday evening utatlng that Frank Tuttle, a former resident of this city, had been stricken with paralysis at his home in the east. He left here some six or seven years ago and was well known in Astoria. His condition was reported serious. His wife was formerly Miss Anna Pope, whose sisters and mother reside here, ! Sad, But Very Evident People who have a very definite in terest, in a friendly way, in Hon. Bruce Polworth, of Cathlamct, re port that since the arrival of the dainty girl baby at his house about two wcki ago, he has so neglected his law practice as to really imperil its existence and preclude its extension. It is too bad but there is yet hope that he will resume his professional interests and yet not fail signally in hit devotion to Miss Polworth.' Should Be Here Today If all goes well the machinery for the brick plant of the Astoria Pro ducts Company will be in this city on the first freight in from Portland today over the A. & C. railway. It will be hauled to the grounds without loss of time and skilled hands will as semble it and connect it up with power as rapidly as possible. Mr. Ogan's claim that he will put out fin ished material within 48 hours after the machinery is set up will, beyond all doubt, be made good. Fisherman! Body Found The body of Kurti Pekuri, " the fisherman who was drowned in the Columbia river opposite the Clatsop mills last Friday, was recovered yes terday morning by Otto Skibbe, mate of the Jordan. Coroner Gilbaugh took charge of the body. Pekuri was a native of Finland, 33 years of age. The funeral will be held this after noon from the chapel of the Gil baugh undertaking parlors, with in terment in the Finnish Brotherhood plot in Greenwood cemetery. Enjoyed Their Fishing Rev. G. F. Rydquist and his friend Mr. Hemple, the young lawyer re cently from the East, and who in tends to make Astoria his future home, have just returned from a fish ing tour of several days over in the woods about Skamokawa. They re port having caught about 200 trout, 85 of which were basketed, the bal ance being too small to use. There are no affidavits out in the premises and the report must be accepted at its face considering the professions involved and the distance from home at, which the achievement was wrought. Strictly In It Astoria is fortunate in having a group of theatrical managers un animously disposed to give her peo ple the best there is going in their particular lines of entertainment; and of this coterie especial mention should be made of Manager H. Gus tafson, 'of the Automatic Theatre, on Commercial street near Seventeenth. This cosy house is pleasantly equip ped for comfort and Mr. Gustafson is presenting some of the finest films ever brought to Astoria. The moving picture performance is, amplified by choice and up-to-date songs. The house is fresh, and clean, and well ventilated, comfortably seated for nearly 200 people and is altogether a very attractive place of amusement, and under the careful direction of Mr. Gustafson will soon become a hading establishment of its kind. Astoria Fruit Market 'The determination of County Fruit Inspector, C. S. Dow, to enforce the state regulations against the coddling moth, San Jose scale and other de leterious conditions enumerated by law, is widely commended in this city and county; and there is very general regret that his range of au- ALEX TAGG CONFECTIONERY! Fresh .Chocolates CandiesDetCi Made fresh every dayIn ooi own factory. 843 Commercial Street thority does not cover tainted and decayed fruit, which abounds in this market, since Astoria is made a verit able dumping ground for such goods, by San Francisco and Portland wholesalers. It is time the people were revolting against the palpable injustice shown this market, since Astoria's own merchants, with a few exceptions, apparently, willingly con tribute to the imposition. It is time a pure-food commissioner was sta tioned here with full federal author ity to qualify a very ugly situation that extends over other supplies than fruit,' v ' 7 '. Cathlamet Primaries The republican nominating prim aries for Wiakiakum county, Wash ington, have closed and the results so far as known indicate successful issu-s for such as have filed peti tions, as follows: For representa tives in the legislature,. J. G. Megler, the present incumbent, who will be opposed by J. R. Burke, the well- known canneryman; for county clerk, George Hanigan, the present incum bent, who enters the field with no opposition; for auditor, David West, the veteran county treasurer, whose opponent is George Irving; for as sessor, J. Girard, the present audi tor, who has an opponent from Skamokawa, whose name could not be ascertained; for treasurer, C. H. Warren, of the Warren Packing Co.; for sheriff, Van Varenson, the pres ent assessor of the county. It Is said that Mike Gorman is in the field for the county commissionership, but upon what ticket deponent' sayeth not Brought Near To Death Happily for him, friendly eyes were upon John Heikkila yesterday morn ing, when, at his work as boom-boss for the Astoria Timber Company at Uniontown, he fell from the logs and they closed together over his head, and cut off his voluntary effort and chance to save himself from drown ing ni the Columbia. Several fisher men in the service of the "Co-op" can nery were at work on a nearby net dock and saw the accident; giving the alarm, they rushed to the boom and set vigorously to work scattering the logs and poling for the submerg ed body which was quickly found and brought to the surface, by which time Karl Knoblich arrived upon the scene and instantly went to work with those present, to revive the ap parently dead man. Swiftly and steadily the work, was carried to a happy conclusion and Heikkila was soon able to walk to his home, where, after rest and refreshment, he re turned to the boom and took up his day's work, so dangerously inter rupted. Drilled In Open Air The First Company, Coast Artil lery, held , its first open air drill last evening, when the company marched to Van Duscn's vacant lot and was drilled in platoon formation. The company met at the armory and from there went to the field. The drill in platoon formation was as success ful as could have been expected, as the ground is not very even. With the advent of darkness the company was marced'back to the hall where an effort was made to continue the pla toon drilling though the hall is not large enough for that purpose. All of the officers, both commissioned and non-commissioned, were present last evening, and there was a good turnout of the members of the com pany, there being eight full squads. Captain Abercrombie announced that this evening in his office in the city hall will be held the campetitive drill for non-commissioned officers. Any member is entitled to compete for the position of corporal. It is hoped that the uniforms will arrive soon, as the boys are anxious to get in shape for a public appearance at the time of he regata. For Regatta Queen There will be a merry time between now and the 15th day of the month, when the yoting contest for the re gatta queen will come to a close. Already the names of numerous can didates have been put into the field, and it is expected the votes will come in fast. The candidates thus far en tered are: Miss Hattie Wise, Miss Winnie Higgins, Miss May . Parker, Miss May Fossett, Miss Margaret Taylor, Miss Frieda Foard, Miss Frances Nprberg, Miss Elsie Elmore, Miss Georgia Eckstrom, Miss Laura Danielson,. Miss Isabelle Paulson, Miss Grace Stokes and Miss Sun quist. ,The first count of ballots will be made within a day or two and it is expected that there " will be unusual vigor in this election. Although there are a number of candidates in the field this does not preclude any other candidate from entering the race and it is altogethr likely that several new names will -be added to the list be fore the end of the" week. The field is open for all comers as their friends may see fit to enter them. Of" course, the candidates are perfectly passive in the matter, as their friends are re sponsible for the use of their names and any young lady may not be sur prised to ascertain that her friends are voting for her without a mo ment's notice. Had a Good Time It was the "morning after" for "Herb" Ingalls in police court yes terday. The spirit of exhiliration that had exalted him to deeds of prowess the night before had died away. His eyes were blacked; his face showed traces of more than one stout blow; and when he(was asked by the court if he was drunk as charged he said he guessed he was, but he didn't remem ber much about it. According to the accounts, of what , happened along Astor street on Tuesday night, In galls had evidently started in to "clean out" that part of the town. He started to clean out the Senate saloon and succeeded fairly well there, according to the various re ports that are told of this battle. At the Mug saloon he was not quite so successful. There he met an antago nist worthy of him and Ingalls was fired bodily out into the street. Hav ing only two eyes, it was not possible to have more than that number blacked, but several extra coats of the blacking and tinting were put on. Ingalls saw a woman during his pere grinations. Evidently he didn't like her appearance. He kicked her and choked her. Finally, Police Officer Oberg, with the assistance of one or more citizens loaded the fighting rancher into an express wagon and he passed the night in jail., It was not the first time he had been there, either. Judge Anderson imposed a sentence of 30 days in jail or.a fine of $60, but suspended sentence during good behavior. Ingalls is a big strap ping man, and is said to be an excel lent man when not crazed by drink. The Week in Realty Fannie G.

WASHINGTON, Aug. .-Ar rangements are being made for the transfer to responsible parties of the $100,000 gift made by Andrew Car negie towards the construction of the Central American Court of Justice at Cartago, Costa Rica. The money has been available for some time, the gift being made in Washington last win ter. It was hoped that the court building would be accepted before ac tual need for its use arose, but the revolution in Honduras precipitated action in that direction. COlfflY COURT IN A LONG SESSION APPOINTS DELEGATES TO GOOD ROADS CONVENTION AT PORTLAND, AUG. 11 AND ..DISCUSSES ROAD MATTERS At the close of its session last ev ening the county, court adjourned t meet again this morning at 9 o'clock, as it was found not possible to com plete all the work before the court yesterday. Before adjourning last evening the court appointed delegates to the Good Roads Convention to be held in Portland, Aug. 11, as follows: J, C. McCue, C. A. Leinenweber, Geo. Warren, Andrew Young 'and in ad dition to these Judge Trenchard aad Commissioner F. II. Moore of "Sea side announced that they would at' tend the convention. The court hoped to appoint other delegates but inasmuch as this is the busy sea son throughout the county it is dif- I ficult to find men who have the tint to go. It is probable the Clatsop i delegation will favor certain state aid in county road building; that is, for the state to pay a certain amount for every dollar that the counties expend on roads. For example, if a county spent $1000 the state to expend $500, or some other proportion, but in aO cases the state would be called upoa only on such thoroughfares that were inspected and approved by an engi neer representing the state. Als the Caltsop delegation may favor a rejuvenation of the old Good Roads movement, instead of permitting the present movement t centralize aB the activities in the Portland Cham ber of. Commerce. Various matters pertaining to the county roads were discussed at the meeting yesterday. The road peti tioned for by Daniel (Rierson and others was granted, though only after a long discussioa The vote on this matter was not unanimous, as Judge Trenchard and Commissioner Frye votfd for it and Commissioner Moore against it. It was decided to call for bids oa a fill on road No. 86, said fill to be in- certain places of the last mile of the road and east of the little Wal iuski bridge. The fill -is to be made seven feet above the present level of the tide lands and to be fourteen feet wide at the top. Bids will be adver tised and must be in the county court before 9 o'clock on the morn ing of August 17. Also the bidders must deposit ceck for 10 per' cent of the amount of the bid binding them selves to do the work if bid k accepted. ' The county court will also ask for bids for cement sidewalks arc.ir.i the county court house. Mr. Hill and others in road district 14' are to be informed, in reply t their communication, that the court had informed Mr. Hill that this dis trict would be allowed $1000 out of the general fund, and no more cam be set apart for his district now. FINDER NAIL SCRATCH RESULTS IN DEATH A short time agp you may have read of the remarkable case where a simply scratch of the finger nail caused death by blood poisoning. At first it was only an annoying itch caused by summer rash. This was scratched by the - finger nail to re lieve the itch, but the skin was torm open, the irritation became worse and finally resulted in a fatal case of blood poisoning. Do not scratch or rub the itch or irritation caused by summer rash. mosquito bites, hives, prickly heat or any form of skin disease or itch, D. D. D. Prescription, the best known remedy for eczema ' and all forms of ;skin disease, externally applied, will at once stop" the irritable itch. It soothes and cools the skin and per manently cures the itch or disease. Infants and children are saved many hours of agony and torture from the unbearable itch if a few , drops oT D. D. D. is applied to the afflicted parts. Remember the itch is in stantly relieved. Call at the store of Charles Rogers & Son and you can get a bottle. Try it. DOWN TO 110 NOW. SAN JOSE, Cal., Aug. 5.
