Sunday last a little uirl by the name of Erna Byers, of Jppertown, found a handsome gold locket near the court house, which' bad been advertised in these col umns, and she sent it in to the office through her Sunday school teacher Seaside Boulevard- Says the Seaside Signal: "An Ob server," writing to The Leader from Seaside, calls on Commissioner Moore to have the road from Sea tide to Astoria put in good shape for travel. We can assure "An Observ er" that if he can bring Judge Tren chard and Commissioner Frye to "the same frame of mind that Commis sioner Moore is in regarding this road that it will not be many moons before a fine boulevard will connect the two cities. He Was Lured Back R. C. F. Astbury has been lured back from the prevalent "110" de grees of summer heat in the beauti ful valley of Rogue River, to the cool and balmy breezes of his old habitat here and will indulge himself for a week. His hosts of friends are glad enough to see him, and to hear his cheerful account of thing! down in that progressive valley. He reports his own prospects as an orchardist very flattering and says Medford is fast swinging into line as one of the smartest towns in the state. She is laying ten blocks of bithulithic pave ment and is negotiating her bonds for $365,000 for a fine, modern wa ter service. Are On The Way- . Captain Abercrombic has received the bills of lading for most of the things that the government is to fur nish the members of the First Com pany, Coast Artillery, and it is pre sumed that they are now on the way and should arrive any day.

Thomas and Turpin had roomed together at the Central' Hqtel until several days ago, when they separated. Yesterday morning Thomas quit his job and came to town. He drew his money, and then is presumed to have gone to Turpin's room and stolen the articles. And one of the climaxes of the sea son will be the rendering of Crcig's famous "Landsighting" with full chorus and orchestra. Appreciated Notice Sunday's Oregonian had the fol lowing pleasant editorial comment on Astoria's big and promising "14th" annual regatta: "Astoria is making great preparations for the coming regatta and is outlining a pro gram which promises to exceed in brilliancy the highly successful events of this kind In the past. The regatta has become one of the fixed events of the summer season at the mouth of the river and offers a pleas ing diversion for the people who spend their summers at the adjacent beaches and also attracts a steadily increasing number of visitors from interior points. The beautiful bay formed by the widening of the Co lumbia, as it nears the sea, offers one of the finest racing courses in the country for . all classes of sailboats, and the contests are never short on entries. Admiral George Shepherd, of Portland, has been honored with the leading position in this year's carnival, and Portland, as usual, will be well represented ' and willing to assist our neighbors in making the affair a huge success." The Double Telephone I Annoyance Admiral Shepherd Here lion. George S. Shepherd of Port land and Astoria, who, in this year of grace, bears the addition rank of Regatta Admiral and will serve As toria in that capacity at her "14th annual," at the end of this month, ar rived in the city yesterday. He came down to confer with his Regatta col leagues upon several propositions of interest, chief of which, was the tea ture of brilliantly lighted vessels from the several cities and towns along the Columbia, to appear in the grand ma rine parade, and he backed his claim for the departure with the assurance that two or three, Portland, Vancou ver and Rainier, were all amenable and would send down their especial craft The idea impressed all hands here with exceeding favor, and the matter will be overworked up to a successful issue in due course. Mr. Shepherd returned to the metropolis last evening to prosecute his end of the pleasihg scheme. -':'.,. Scandinavian Sangerfest One .of the grandest features of Astoria's coming regatta, in the long shore schedule of entertainment, will be the Scandinavian-Sangerfest, which with its hundreds of trained voices in solos and ohoruses, is among the standard attractions of the northwest odd. It will be held on the 29th Victor Hugo and Stevenson's Work. The Collier publishing house of New York City, has placed on the market fine editions of the historical novels of Victor Hugo, of Les Miser able fame, etc., and Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Dr. Jeykell and Mr. Hyde, etc. Mr. Hewitt,-the firm's representative, is now in Astoria in troducing these famous authors which are being sold on the popular month ly installment plan and no doubt will meet with much success, as the Col Her firm is well and favorably known in all narts of the United States through the publication of Collier's Weekly. All that mankind has done, thought, gained, or been, is lying in maeic preservation in the pages of books. Carlylc. Body Brussel and Wilton Carpets.

Badger will leave this morning on the 8:20 train Tax Is Heavy on Los Angeles Business Men "It is our opinion, based upon ac tual experience, that two telephone systems are an unreasonable tax upon the business man, both from the standpoint of expense and that of annoyance. We would be very glad to see the telephone business carried on by one company. Under the pres ent system of operation in Los An geles, we are obliged to consult two directories, answer two telephones, pay two telephone bills and submit to just double the annoyance from troublemen, collectors, inspectors and agents incidental to the maintenance of one system. Decidedly we are for one system only." Statement of Mc- ' Stay Supply Company, wholesale gro cers and meat dealers, Los Angeles. II 1 1 1 1 M I M I 1 1 1 H M II II II 1 1 1 MM ASTORIA GETS NEW RATE EAST AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING LAST NIGHT THIS INTERESTING ANNOUNCE MENT IS MADE. The telephone matter in the Cham ber of Commerce meeting last night developed nothing new, though M. J. Dillman, special agent of the Pacific States Company, appeared and made a brief address. He spoke of the dis advantages of a dual system, and urged that the company he represents be given a fair chance. The Pacific States Company had lost heavily by the San Francisco fire and earth quake, Mr. Dillman said, and for that and other reasons it had not been in position to advance the work in Astoria in the manner that it should have been done. ' "But now we are going right ahead," he said. "You must rest as sured that there will be no furher delays. I have it right from the head of our financial department that the Astoria work is to be completed at once, ana the citizens ot Astoria may feel certain that" this is to be done." Mr. Dillman's address was a pleas ing one and he made no attack upon his aggressive competitor, other than to say he once had been connected with an independent company and had left it after losing money. George E. Waggoner, representing the automatic phone company, was present, but -made no reply to Mr. Dillman, perhaps feeling that none was necessary. Mr. Dillman said he welcomed a fight, and as Mr. Wag goner has also said this it would -ap pear as if both sides are in a mood to fight it out Of course hints are being made that one of the companies will try to buy the other out, but as far as can be ascertained this is mere ly a gratuitous assumption. Mr. Dillman lays stress on the ob jections of a "dual system." Mr. Waggoner says there won't be a dual system; that his company "wiH be the "do-all" system before the "fight" is over, and there the case seems to stand. The most interesting matter before the Chamber last night was a short talk made by C. E. Wilson, the re cently appointed local agent of the Great Northern Express Company. Heretofore shippers of salmon and1 other like commodities to the east have complained of discrimination against this city, and. averred that the rates prevented a fair competition with Tacoma and" Seattle. "This matter I took up with an of ficial of our company," said Mr. Wilson. "The Interstate Commerce Commission was conferred with and the result is that we have a new and satisfactory rate from Astoria to the east. The old rate was $4 a hun dred. Now the new rate is $3 a hun dred; that is, on carload lots with a minimum of 20,000. That is the rate to New York. To Chicago the new rate on carload lots with 20,000 mini mum is $2.75. And already I have been able to send out one or more cars under the new rates, which should mean a great deal for the shippers of Astoria." Mr. Wilson was applauded by the members present. At the suggestion . of Mr. Van Dusen the Chamber also gave him a formal vote of thanks. President Scholfield and Manager Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce were not present last night, having gone to Portland to attend the Good Roads Convention. Mr. G. Wingate acted as chairman of the meeting, with Mr. Wallace as secretary. There was a fair attendance, the fire at Dun bar's evidently keeping some away.
