They are to be of cement, and with this width should make a hand some showing quite in keeping with the court house itself. The grounds have been filled tip in an excellent manner, with a gentle slope from the court house to the streets, and when covered with growing grass will add much td the attractiveness of the place. New Athfetic Building The new Allen building at the cor ner of Eleventh and Puane streets is already beginning to take shape, and as a result there is a renewed interest in the Athletic Club, which is to oc cupy a part of the structure.

Plionograoh Co., 9i time (irt announced, a there i dc lay in scctirinff timbers required in itx construction, but in all likelihood will be ready by September I. Benefit Tonight A large attendance in anticipated at the Astoria theatre tonight at the benefit of the Women's Relief Corps when the Georgia Harper Company will prcxent the drama entitled "For Her Sinter's Sake." Quite a num ber of the ladies of the relief corps have been hard at work for the past few day selling tickets for the bene fit, and have met with considerable Miccess, and it might be well to sug gest that any who are desirious of seeing the performance should secure their scats early today, and help along the worthy caunc and at the name time get the full value for their money. Soldiers In Action Five soldiers from' Fort Stevens came to town Wednesday for an out ing and at an early hour yesterday morning several of them were keyed up to a pretty high pitch. In a fra cas one of them got a rap on the jaw that was supposed to have broken that useful part of his face, but the city physician who was called an nounced after examination that the jaw was not broken. The police got their hands on another one of the sol diers. At 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing one of them was just starting to walk back to the Fort from this city, as he averred that he simply had to be there in time for roll call. Mayor Signed Warrants Mayor' Wise signed all of the war rants yesterday that had been passed upon by the city council at its. re cent meeting, and also sign"! all of the ordinances passed upon except the one granting a fran chise to the automatic telephone company. The mayor has no objection to the ordi nance, but wll refrain from signing it until the Chamber of Commerce has an opportunity to express itself on the proposition. The delay in signing arises only as a matter of courtesy "on the part of the mayor, and that the Chamber of Commerce will express itself as well satisfied with the terms of the iirant is vir tually a certain conclusion. Mr. Keezel Resigns At the session of the county court yesterday morning E. L. Keezel, who was elected county superintendent Of schools at the recent election, ten dered his resignation. It was accept cd, and the court thereupon appoint ed Miss Emma C. Warren to the po sition. It will be a source of grati fication to many throughout the county who are interested in the wel fare of the Clatsop school? that so efficient and pleasant a person as Miss Warren now takes the place Mr. Keezel is principal of the Seaside schools and the good wishes of many will be extended to him, though he is not to continue in the county office. For manv, years Miss Warren has been a leading figure in educational matters in this part of the state, and, of course, from her experience in the office of county superintendent, is thoroughly familiar with its needs and its workings.

Fresh Chocolates Candies.fetcv Made fresh every dayjin obi own factory, i ; 843 Commercial Street ASTOIil ANS BUNCOED CLEVERLY SCAMP OPERATES WITH FORGED MONEY ORDERS AND SECURES QUITE A HANDFUL OF READY CASH It developed here yesterday that several 6f Astoria's merchants have been done out of various sums of money, lately, by a scamp whose cleverness has baffled the Seattle police and the government secret service men to date. ' He operated with a bunch of forg ed postal notes stolen from one of the Seattle sub-stations and which have been advertised for some months by the authorities by way of warning against their negotiation and (or the apprehension of the thief. Those who suffered at the hands of the original rascal, or the man work ing in the second, or third instance, are Herman Wise, $22.50 in cash, garnered by the bunco-man through the purchase of a $7.50 suit of clothes, in payment for which he tendered a $30 money-order signed by J. J. Mor gan as remitter with one E. Williams, as payee, the mayor yielding up the difference; Herman Ekstrom, the jeweler, being mulcted in the sum of $7.00 in change, and a $25 chain, for which he received a $32 postal note; Nathan Schlusscl, the clothier, a small sum, given in change for a $32 order; and Judd'Bros., $18 in cash, through a deal in which a $40 order and a $22 suit figured. With the exception of the chain "bought" from Mr. Ekstrom, the smooth operator left the other goods for subsequent call, which fee never made. Some cf the orders were drawn on the Seaside post-office and one of them on the office here. The attempt to cash the local note at this office and its rejection for the want of proper advices, led to the discoT- cry of the whole fraudulent action, and the losers, here, have no re course, save the ultimate satisfaction of knowing the scoundrel has been "brought to book." and even that may be denied them if he is allowed to get far enough away before he is caught and tried.

Special Agent M. J. Dillman, of tfia Pacific States Telephone Compaay; with headquarters in San Francises, arrived in the city yesterday and ia - mediately associated himself witiji Manager A. J.

Mr. Dillman, in .conversation with an Astorian reporter said, yesterday, the people of Astoria woud have no more room for doubt as to the extent and thoroughness of his company's purposes and that his orders in tins behalf were ample and mandatory; that they covered the erection of the new telephone building, the cabl- ng of the system and the Jnstalla- tion of the latest, most modern switchboard; that the central service would be equal to anything in any city of Cstoria's sue and importance on the coast, and that his visit here was an initial phase of the orders and plans of his people in this relation.
