Will Sell Store Sheriff I'omcroy went to Wcstport yesterday to make service of "certain papers in the litigation of A. D. Craig against David West, proprietor of the store there. Sheriff I'ofneroy said last evening that he Jiad posted notices of ale of the store, which will take place at 10 o'clock on the morning of Mon day, August 24th. Craig was an em ployee of West's in the store, and brought suit for nearly $1000 as wages due, Stepped On Needle ' Walter' W. Ridehalgh, of the El more Company, went about the city yesterday limping. Mr. Rilehalgh ex plained to enquiring friends that he had stepped on a needle, which bad penetrated into the hollow of his foot. One of Mr. Ridchalgh's little boys broke a needle and threw the parts on the floor, and that night he step ped onto one of -the broken parts. Mr. Ridehalgh will probably be com pelled to limp for a week or more yet. j Peat House Repaired Councilman Stangeland said yester day that all necessary repairs have I been made on the pest house and it is now in readiness for any patients ihat it may be necessary to place there.

Umbrella Stolen Someone walked off with an um brella belonging to one of the young ladies in attendance upon the teach ers' examinations being held in the county court house. It was a valu able umbrella, and an effort will be made to look into the matter. If the person who took the article had done so by mistake it is presumed that it would have been returned, and hence the presumption new is that it was simply a case of stealing. There is some possibility that the culprit may be apprehended. Umbrellas are such necessary things in Astoria that everyone wants to feel that his is safe if he should set it down some where for a moment. Will Have An Egg Walk An unique and interesting 'event has been prepare3 for the children of the Sunday school of the First Pres byterian church.

At 6 o'clock this evening the children, and all others interested, are to meet at the church, and from thence the party will walk over the heights to a pleasant spot near the bridge on Young'a river. There a place will be marked off, and within the bounds will be hidden a number of eggsall boiled and for the boy who finds the greatest number of eggs there will be a prize, as there will also be for .the girl who succeeds in j seeking out the most. That it will be lots of fun for the little folks goes without saying. Other than the eggs here will be no refreshments taken. The party will return at 9 o'clock. Might Build Bridge ' It is believed that a solution of the trouble hf the improvements on Irv ing street near Eighteenth will be found in constructing a trestle bridge over the spot of shifting earth. When the work was first planned such a bridge was suggested, but was object ed to, especially by one of the adja cent property owners. It was said at the city hall yesterday that the con tractor, 'Mr. Goodin, had said that he believed he could still construct the bridge and keep within the amount of his contract. But if such a bridge is to be built the sooner the present work is stopped the better. Prob ably all of the land owners within the assessment district would be will ing to waive any objections that they might have, or may find, to the plan of building a bridge, and bind them selves to pay their assessments,' for in the event that some such plan is not soon carried out it is said that probably an additional taxation is likely to be imposed upon them. Found Broken Connection In a communication to the city council, J. P. Badollet, for the Bado lette estate, complains that certain sewer work which had been done under the Badollet buildmg on Com mercial street was performed in a slipshod manner. Twice the job was done, and twice it was paid or. Then within the past year the city adver tised for bids for certain sewer work including a connection under the Badolle? building. This contract was let to a local contractor. In his com munication Mr. Badollet says that the sewer has given much trouble and reecntly an investigation was made in the presence of the street inspector. He alleges that the con nection was found to have been done in a most bungling manner and that a board had even been laid over it to conceal it from view, i Now Mr. Ba dollet calls upon the city to pay for the expense of making the repair, as he says that the estate has paid for th work twie and should not be com pelled to pay the third time for the work that was improperly done. 1 Piano Number with each $5 Sale to Her man Wise Customers Grop Fall Suits Just As usual Wise leads the procession; quite a selection of the new Brown, Slate, Tan and Green FALL SUITS arrived at the WISE Store during the last few days.

C. S. Dow, the horticultural inspec tor for this section, said yesterday that there has been a first class crop of hay in Clatsop county this season, and also a fine crop of grains. Mr. Dow is naturally familiar with these things, and he said that apparently it has been a fair season for the dairy interests, also, though because of the late spring the gresses -came late. Just now Mr. Daw is interested in the flower and agricultural displays which are to be gotten in readiness for the regatta. It is hoped that a first-class agricultural display will be made by the farmers of Clatsop county, and all is invited to bring in their biggest and finest products of the farm and dairy. Generally speak ing, it has apparently not been a goo? year for fruits, apples, berries and. so on, but nevertheless ft is thought that a fine showing can be made. The agricultural exhibit is to be made, a permanent one, to be kept in the basement of the county court, and all entries that are accepted will be paid for if payment is required. , Especial efforts will be made to have an excellent display of flowers for the regatta week, and it is hoped that the ladies of Astoria especially will take an active interest in this matters. A committee of ladies is to be appointed for the flower show, and it is hoped to make a showing that will do great credit to the city. John Denck who is a practical florist, will have charge oj: the floral exhibit. "Herman Ahlers of Ne'canicum has agreed to give a series of demonstra tions, of the scientific handling of bees, as a part of the agricultural exhibit. CUNARD'S NEW ROUTING. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. It was sta ted yesterday on the best authority that beginning with March sailings in 1909, the' Cunard liners would cut out calling it Queenstown and run to Ply mouth and Cherbourg, still , making Liverpool the home port as hereto fore. The change has been decided up on, it is said, after long consideration to expedite the delivery of mails in London and also to enable the Cun ard Co., to get its share of the conti nental first class passenger traffic in competition with other lines. In! MISS WAHLGREN IS STILL AHEAD THE BALLOTING FOR QUEER OF THE REGATTA WILL CLOSE NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 10 O'CLOCK SHARP The balloting for the queen of the regatta will close next Wednesday night, and it behooves the friends of the contestants to "get busy." Tie ballot boxes will be closed and re moved from their present locations at the various stores at 5 o'clock next Wednesday afternoon, and will be sealed up until 7:30 o'clock. The they will be opened in the Hoefler store, and the ballots counted and announced. Voting will then con tinue until 10 o'clock, when the vote will come to an end. While the voting has not been heavy thus far, this is hardly to be taken as an indication that thousands of votes may not yet be cast. It is usually at the last mo ment that the big stacks of votes are entered, and then there probably wiB be some exciting times in the Hoefler store on the last night.
