' Teachers' Exams The teachers' examinations which commenced in the office of the county superintendent yesterday morning arc hardly a well attended as had been expected.

It had been ex pected that some of the recent grad uates from the Astoria high school would take the county examinations, but none of them made an appear ance. Mist Warren said that at far as yet appears the examintion papers arc apparently quite fair. Preparing To Ship , Fish Warden W. C.

McCrea, has given h'm a first-class fishboat, which he is laying for by degrees, and ho has a middle-aged and experienced boatpuller, by the name of Johnson, who is coaching him in all the rcicucc of the calling, and the young ster is making money steadily; be delivers his Huh to Phil McDonough and does his drifting up in the neighborhod of Bear Cliff. A Pleasant Cruise Mrs, Michael Nolan landed here yesterday from the steamer Alliance, on her arrival from Coos Bay, after .1 pleasant cruise as the guest of Cap ' tain Olscn and of her husband, the H-eond officer of that popular pas senger packet. She left out on Sun day morning last and enjoyed every hour aboard, it being her first trip into these latitudes. Mrs. Nolsan says Marshlicld and. North Bend are bright, lively towns and are contend ing cheerfully for the honor of be ing the center of the commercial i tiiverse, but always ceasing to pay friendly court and courtesy to the visitlng stranger.

Appointments Announced Announcement was made of the re suits of the recent competitive drill at the meeting of the First Company, Coast Artillery, last night. C. L. Patient Is Better D. J. Abbey, the man who was discSvered to be sick with smalipox about a week ago, is taid by Dr. Clara Rcames, the city physician, to be im proving rapidly. Dr. Reames said last evening that the quarantine on the rooming house where Abbey is confined will probably be raised by Saturday, and then the place will be thoroughly fumigated. Abbey is likely to be more or less scarred by I the disease, as it had taken a bad hold on him before he received any treat tncnt. The pest house has now been iplaced in good shape and an effort j will be made to keep it in readiness in jihe event that other cases of con tagious diseases break out. Soldier Is Fined V. Jackson, a soldier from Fort) Stevens, was arrested on a charge of drunkene! and in police court yes terday afternoon was fined, with the alternative of spending a few days in the city lockup. Jackson was at urea in civilian ciotnes. ue was so drunk that Patrolmen Wilson and Houghten couldn't waken him. He was placed in a wheelbarrow and wheeled to the city jail. The police officers complained to Judge Ander son thai some of the soldiers from Fort Stevens are giving much trouble lately, and it was said that most of the trouble comes from a new lot of them. The older ones behave themselves decently when they come to town. As a rule the officers are quite willing to let the men from the fort enjoy themselves as they will as long as they keep within reasonable bounds.

Wortman, of the famous house of Olds, Wortman & King, arrived in the city yesterday, to confer with A. Dunbar and others in the matter of the rehabiliation of the business so abruptly checked by Monday's fire. It is hoped the in surance adjusters will meet today and dispose of that element of the affair, which will clear the way for an early resumption of the business under its old and popular direction. Mr. Wort man is much pleased with the com mercial' showing that Astoria makes and had many friendly expression in her behalf. He will be here for sev eral days, as he and his firm are close- y identified with the A. Dunbar Com pany interests. Correction Asked ,and .Made- Some days ago the Astorian had occasion to deal, editorially, with cer tain recent history made here by the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company and the O. R. & N. Com pany, and, in the course of its present ment of the, then, presumed facts, said that ifwas not now possible to go to either office here and buy straight, full transportation to distant, or foreign points at first hand, even over the trans-continental lines represented here by each office, but that one must take an order on the Portland station for such long distance service, etc., etc.; but, since making that sup posedly correct statement, the As torian has been convinced that it erred in that particular; that in so erring it did an injustice to the com panies quoted, and since it does not desire to do any man nor any busi ness injury or injustice, it now and here corrects the misconception, de precates the error, and will seek to avoid them in the future.

J. Mc Isaacs, of Hood River, and a promi nent orchardist of that famous dis trict, spent the day in Astoria, yes terday, accompanied by his father, a prominent citizen of Oskaloosa, Iowa, who is summering in Oregon, and both gentlemen were happily pre oossessed with the city; the harbor and the country and people generally and admitting freely, that next to their own live community up under the shadow of noble old Hood. As tona and Clatsop looked best to them. They attended the Good Roads convention at Portland, and ran down here at ;hi instance of number of cordial Astorians they met there, and both are glad they did Commissioner Mclsaacs was un mensety pleised wia the new court hou?e which he inspee'e 1 mi top to to' .cm, and declares it is. beyend all doubt, the finest thing of its kind- on the upper coast.

Reduced Rates Granted on All Rail and Steamboat Lines Need Patrol Wagon- There is hardly a day passes but the need for a patrol wagon in As toria is emphasized. At the present time the police officers on duty at night seem to have a wheelbarrow which thev brinsr into use and thus prisoners who can't or won't walk are wheeled in limp state to the citys bastile. That is hard on the officers and somewhat hard on the prisoners, though perhaps the latter objection doesn't count very heavily. But in the day time the matter assumes an other phase, for then it is that the eyes of visitors and residents, men and women and children, are fre quently assailed with the sight of drunken beasts being carted through the main thoroughfares of the town in express wagons, or in any venicie that happens to be handy. Probably citizens have a right to expect that such sights be not thrown up into their faces. It is. common for cities like Astoria to have a wagon which can be used either as a patrol wagon j or ambulance, and the expense is not great for maintaining such a service. boldly itarted to return to this city j yestvday with the evfdent intention of taking the evening train for Port land. Sheriff Pomeroy learned that Thomas was coming across the river on the Major Guy Howard and went to the dock to meet the steamer, but at first sight there was nothing to be seen of the man. Therefore the sheriff went on board and made a search and found his man hiding in a small room. He was taken to the county jail and locked up. It seems that Thomas did not leave alone, for a woman crossed tne river with him and she was with him again yester day. She had two trun'cs and the check for one of them ws found in Thomas' possession. Just what dis position was made of the stolen goods is not known, but it is alleged that Thomas sold or traded them off while on the other side of the river. He is an ex-soldier and it is under stood that he appeared at Fort Co- umbia and finaCy was ordered from the grounds there. Thomas was a member of the surveying force which is laying the line for the electric railway to Seaside, and the man whom he is accused of robbing was for a time his room-mate. The wom an in the case also procured a war rant for Thomas' arrest, charging him with the theft of one of her trunks. HER MUSICAL FUTURE A BklGHI ONE PLEASANT INTERVIEW WITH DR.

Mrs. Captain Archie McNeil is in the city on a visit to her brother G. B, Johnson, of Uniontown.1 In conversation with Dr. Em3 Enna, the noted pianist, composer and teacher, yesterday, that gentle man spoke earnestly and kindly of th status of this city in the world of music, and glowingly of her future, & her people adhere closely to the stand ards they have already chosen. Among other things, Dr. Enna said: "The notoriety the city of Astoria has received in the musical journal and magazines, the past year, has fix ed its position as a music center, antf the question as to the ability of the city to entertain musical convention is without doubt solved; her location is ideal and the surroundings are: beautiful in all respects and to a high degree idealistic to the visiting musician. "The Norwegian Sangerfest of last season gave us an excellent start; and was followed by the formation of The Astoria Philharmonic Society; and the coming events, such as the Scandinavian Sangerfest during the coming Regatta, and later the con cert of the Philharmonic Society hi November, all Of which will bring notable soloists here; the coming May Festival of 1909 under the auspices of the same society, and the strong probabilities of the visit of the the Chicago Symphony Orchestra during the pendency of that festival; with the formation of the local Elks orchestra which is doing excellent work, and the spirit tha seems to have taken hold of the local bands that have given some very notable con certs during the summer, convince me that the people of the city are admirers of good music, and will, at any time, support good music. I do not believe, in the course of my musi cal career, I have spent a pleasanter season than the last season here, in Astoria; the people here want good music, and i have never missed their presence at my musical undertak ings, l gave about 1U lecture recitala here and appeared in about a dozes ; concerts besides, and I have never seen the time that the place was not filled with an attentive audience. "It will not be neecssary for stu dents to go away from the home dur ing' the coming season to study mu sic; there is a staff of good teacher here already and I believe Mr. Frank Eichenlaub, the violinist, and Miss Mary Conyers, the voice teacher, in tend to spend certain days here teaching; and the coming of those notable teachers may mean the start of a Conservatory of Music; any way I hope so. The city will n doubt take hold of such an undertak ing should it come under considera tion. I must admit that I hold a very warm spot in my heart for the people of Astoria, as I have always received good words and excellent support for my musical work and interest here' Subscribe to The Morning Astoria, ian, 60 cents per month, delivered by carrier.
