be 12 feet in width, according to the
specifications stated in the calls for

with this width should make a hand

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. Charles J
H, Abcrcrombie, who is the present)
official head of the Athletic Club,
says that already there is a member
ship of approximately 200, and that
new applications are coming in every
day. Every care is being taken to
secure the right kind of members and
all the indications point to a fine suc
cess for the organization. Trie club
exists in the form of a private corpo

board of directors, the latter being
virtually the controlling body. The

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.

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. DILLMAX
OF PACIFIC STATES COM
PANY, IN ASTORIA TO AC
CELERATE IMPROVEMENTS
NOW PROJECTED.
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. Brunold of the -coo-f
pany s local office, in the task of pre
paring the way for the introduction
of all the projected improvements
due for installation here, and will re
main for several days bringing the
details to a focus, so that they will
be carried out successfully and com
pletely after he has left.
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.
He tallied straight and pleasantly
and confined his remarks strictly to
the interests h represents, having
nothing to say in reference to the
invasion of, the Northwestern Long
Distance Company here, bing satis
fied, apparently, to declare his own
errand and its bearing on the future
and better service the people of As
toria would enjoy at the hands of the
Pacific States people, when the last
f their projects for amendment are
carried out.
