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-

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-

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

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.

FOR HALL OF JUSTICE.
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
