but that this year's carnival will

new and novel features have been
added.
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

at 10 o'clock on the morning of Mon
day, August 24th. Craig was an em

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. The windows and doors had
been broken. New windows have been

placed over them,, so that the win-

tion for such events as regattas by
banding over a gleaming gold

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. Tonight they are to
engage in an "egg walk," and by this

both a walk and some eggs cn the
program. 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.

TO DISPLAY FRUITS
AND FLOWERS
PLANNING FOR FINE AGRI
CULTURAL EXHIBIT DURING
REGATTA WEEK AND FOR A
FLORAL SHOW.
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.

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.
