Swedish Society
At the Astoria theatre, August 29,
the Swedish Dramatic Society of
Portland will be seen in two perform
ance, a matinee in the afternoon, and
an evening performance. There will
be an entire change of program at
each performance. The society have
an established reputation throughout
the state, and their engagement in
this city will undoubtedly prove a
popular one.
Cities Will Enter
Announcement is made that at least
several cities will have entries in the1
illuminated night parade on the water
during the regatta. Thc boat of each
city will be known by a large electric
sign of the name of the city, and it is
probable that the city council will be
asked to make an entry of a similar
kind, as it is thought Astoria surely
should not be backward in coming
forward with entries for the gala
week.
In Charge Of The Owl
Arthur Daytn, the well known
druggist, who last year made things
pleasant behind the Hart pharmacy
counters, will today take charge of
the Owl Drug Store of T. F. I.aurin,
who will, about the first of the month,
leave on a protracted visit, for thc
winter, to some country and clime u
bit more merciful to the rheumatism,
rom which he has suffered for a
long time past. Mr. and Mrs. Day
ton are domiciled at the "Stevens."

Found In Fine Shape
Oregon State Bank Examiner Jas
Steele, of Portland, yesterday closed
a crucial examination of the books
and accounts of the Aoria Savings
Hank, and promptly congratulated
Cashier Frank TaUon and his col
leagues of thc directorate upon the
splendid condition of the institution,
not alone in the matter of exactitude
and excellence of the accounting, but
upon thc safe disposition of its
funds and the high quality of the
securities behind every cent of the
trreat trust it i conserving in the
'course of its business.

F. McGregor who, with Sena

spent the whole o last week in the

and deer and any other sort of game,
without ever so much as a glimpse
of anything of the sort, was dis

Fire Aftermath
At 6 o'clock, yesterday morning, a
t;ll alarm was sent in to No. 2 Hose,
calling that apparatus to the scene of
the Dunbar fire of Monday night, to
f-ut" out some ember that had re
ignited during the night and might
have spread in thc early morning
winds, Everything was made safe in
a few moments. Aside from the
losses sustained by the A. Dunbar
company, it is credibly reported that
Messrs, Johnson Bros., will sustain a
loss of $1800; Messrs. Scholfield &
Matson, about $500; and Mrs. Lash,
$300, It i now reported that Mr.
Dunbar, after adjusting everything
and clearing up the dismantled prem
ises, will re-open his business upon a
new and adequate scale.
Hi Trial Postponed
Constantine Masters, the fisherman
whose trial on a charge of having no
license displayed on his boat was to
have been heard yesterday morning,
secured a postponement until his at
torney returns. Geo. A. George of the
Columbia River Packers' Association,
appeared for the defendant, and ex
plained that Masters had displayed a
license, but it was not the right one.
It was represented that he actually
had secured a license in due form,
and that it was only by a mistake
that the wrong number was placed on
the boat. Water Bailiff Settcm, how
ever, apparently was not willing to
act on the suggestion that the case be
dropped. G. C, Fulton Is Masters'
attorney.
Here For Business
NT, Glass, of the engineering depart
ment of thc Pacific States Telephone
Company,' with headquarters at
Portland, arrived here yesterday
with the plans and specifications of
the new telephone building of the
company in this city. 'Mr. Glass met
and conferred with a number of the
local contractors anil builders and to
a number of them he gave a set of
the "P. & S." with the request that
figures be filed thereon, with Manager
Brunold by Monday next. Mr.,Brun
old will forward thc bids to the
Portland office and from there they
will go to San Francisco for final
survey and orders; and the last word
in this important phase will be here
by September 1st.
t Property Owners Pay
The sum of $6431.92 has been paid
into the office of the city treasurer by
property owners for improvements
on streets within a short time, and
this fact is taken as an indication that
money is not very "tight" in thc city
of Astoria. It was not necessary to
make the payments now, though
(hereby the property owners save the
accruing interest by paying up
promptly. Several of the streets upon
which some of the heaviest payments
were made have been completed not
more than a few weeks or a month.
The sum of $1340.50 was paid on the
Eighth street improvement, between
Harrison and Lexington; the sum of
$1288 , on Twelfth street, between
Commercial and Duane, and thc sum
of $823.71 on Eleventh street, between
Commercial and Duane. On the sewer
work on Eighth street $938.97 was
pntd. '

Who Has Some Books . 1
There is a little Finnish boy at St.
Mary's hospital who likes to read
during the long hours that he is
compelled to pass in the big institu
tion, and the nurses say it is hard for
him to secure reading matter. Yes
terday the boy said he can read Eng
lish a little But he prefers something
in the Finnish tongue. He was theft
poring over a Finnish, paper, which is
hardly just what a 14 year old boy
would want. Enquiry at the public
library elicited the fact that there are
apparently no books in the Finnish
tongue there, though there are a
goodly number in several other for
eign languages At the hospital it is
said that many of the patients are
Finns, and perhaps some of the men
and women of that nationality in As
toria may be glad to see that books
and other reading matter are furnish
ed for the hospital. It is probable
some arrangement could be made
with the Sisters. The little boy who
wants books is a bright little fellow,
evidently, and it is said that in afew
months he may be strong and well.
Back From Europe
Charles G. Palmberg, who with his
wife and children, left here on March'
10th, last, for a trip to their old home
in Stockholm, Sweden, has returned
to Astoria after five months of trav
eling and visiting in the east and in
Europe. Mrs., Palmberg and the
children are still in Stockhold and
will not return before late in the fall.
Mr. Palmberg expresses himself as
immensely pleased with his outing,
and yet glad -to get back to the per
fection of Astoria's summer, as he
found the heat intense in the east and
all across the continent. He looks
well and says he never was better.
Mr. Palmberg says Europe is won
derfully interesting in an historical
way and has marvels of beauty and
interest in the way of plans and
buildings, and people; but that

Did Some Lusty Yelling
Yesterday morning early as Al
Seafeldt was wending him way to his
home at 1706 Harrison .avenue, he
heard some prodigious yelling as he
approached the North Pacific brew
ery and instantly realized that some
one'was in period of some kind. Mr.
Seafeldt at once began a careful
search of the neighborhood, follow
ing up the cries as, closely as might
be, and finally discovered a man ding
ing to the piling below the north
sidewalk of' Franklin . avenue, and
begging for relief from a very trying
position. In a few moments the man
was hauled to the upper levels with
a rope and some stout aid secured by
Mr. Seafeldt from the night shift at
he brewery, and he was taken back
here and given the benefit of the
genial warmth of the fire-room, and
perhaps, a bit of other refreshment
quite as congenial. The party had
lost his footing on the net racks in
the neighborhood and had fallen into
the bay and swam to the piling where
he had clung and yelled until the
kindly interest of Mr. Seafeldt was
bestowed upon him.
Hindus Will Live
Emil Janssen, the men who cut and
slashed five Hindus late Monday
evening on Astor street, is still in
the city jail, as there has been soma
delay in having him arraigned. Dis
trict Attorney Howard M. Brownell
said that he had not hurried in the
matter inasmuch as he wished to
make a thorough investigation of the
affair before the preliminary hearing
is heard. One of the five wounded
men is in St. Mary's Hospital, and
while he and perhaps one or two oth
ers are severely cat, their condition
is not thought to be at all dangerous,
unless of course complications set in.
The wholesale cutting done by Jan
ssen as told in The Astorian yester
day caused much comment on the
streets yesterday, and a story was
told that Janssen had once before
been in a cutting scrape, It is said
that he stabbed the sheriff at Seattle
at one time though the accuracy of
the story is not known. The Hindus
are determined to prosecute the case,

Should Be Remedied ;
The Astoria & Columbia River
Railway and the O. R. & N. people
have both conceded special Regatta
rates to Astoria for the 27th, 28th and
29th, that, of themselves, are quite
satisfactory to all concerned; bat
there is one feature of the concessioa
that should be remedied before . the
rates become operative, and that is
that they be made applicable for the
day preceding the opening of the re
gatta, and not let it stand for the
first day which will be absorbed by
the visitor from abroad in traveling
tq the port and cause him, and her,
to lose the opening festivities. It
strikes many people that the change
could be made by both companies
without seriously affecting their fn
terests for that brief season. The
A. & C. officers here claim that it is
an open rate for five days and that
they cannot, in justice to their busi
ness, change the date; and that the
records of their office indicate that
no considerable number of persons
have ever utilized the special rates of
the past on the day before the" re
gatta opening. However, they might
try it on once, even if it is an' "open
rate" to the beaches for one day
longer than usual. Astoria will see
to it they don't get by to the coast
during the regatta hours. The O. R.
& N. concession is of really less ava3
to Astoria, since it is applicable or
the first day, by boat, and as no boat
gets' down till late in the afternoon
and does not run direct to this city,
anyway.
