Pleasant River Trip W. E. Buffum returned to this city last evening on the launch "Mamie" upon which he has just concluded a delightful river trip to Portland and Oregon City. He says the heat in both cities, for the past three days, was almost unbearable, and that the charm of Astoria's cool and refresh ing airs was never so apparent as when he struck them in rounding down to the city from Tongue Point esterday afternoon.

One rock seven inches in diameter fell within four feet of his team's heads, and he raced them out of further peril in double quick time. There was no lookout or no warning, no chance to escape; and it is time the proper authorities were taking the matter in hand and provid ing for the safety of ciliien at such points. Declined The Nickel- Charles II. Haddix had occasion t board a Commercial street car yes terday morninir and got on at the front platform. As he passed through the car to the, rear (being in his uni form as a customs inspector) a pas sender handed him a nickel, which overture Charlie turned down prompt ly and started on. Reaching the rear platform he gazed abstracted at the "roaring traffic" of the streets as it swept by, and had forgotten all about the passenger and his nickel, when suddenly the man again appear and Chocolates the best in the world 50c a Pound, ...

His Quarter Enlarged "Ueggic," the Regatta seal, that has caused so much interest' for. the past two days at the Eleventh street head quarters, has been treated to a fine big galvanized iron vat in which to sport around, and he wouid be com paratively happy if the incorrigible small boy of the city who would leave him alone for five consecutive minutes at a time. Otherwise he will die of nervous prostration within the next 48 hours. He is a handsome and interesting little beast 'and when he has become accustomed to the noise and confusion and personal attention urrouding him, will make an ideal pet, provided he lives through the uproar. Machinery Worka Admirably '.. Yesterday the machinery of the As toria Clay Products Company, the new brick factors, was started run ning in a commercial and business tense. Ever aton of the . big and heavy mechanism worded to the com plete satisfaction . of Mr. Ogan, the manager and his men, as well as to that of the directors, several of whom were present at the launching, of the business. The product is as fine, and hard, and true in shape as anything of the sort on the American market and the company and the city are to be congratulated upon the excellence of the first day's work and its results, and the hope is abroad that no day of its existence may prove less pleasing to all concerned, in every . respect, than yesterday.

This is a very distinct courtesy on the part of Captain Si mon, and if it shall not be accepted ty the committee (which is hardly likely to happen) his action will al ways be pleasantly remembered by he citizens of Astoria. She is i fine vessel, 290 feet long, and clean and trim, as a yacht, and the genial cap tain will dress her "to the Queen'a taste if so be she is used in this behalf. Some Beautiful Dahlias In the windows of the Hoefler store re some dahlias so beautiful in color and delicate texture that they are worth while going to see. Especially to a lover of flowers will these dahlias ecm of unusual interest. In every 'old fashioned" flower garden over half the world will be found the hardy ahlias, but seldom are they really beautiful, or delicate; rather are they alued for their l.ardy, showy, or pe rennial qualities, but these in the Hoefler windows, which may be as a ample of what may be done with the dahlia in Astoria, are as delicate in oloring and texture as a chrysan themum. In fact, with their leaves curled to points, these dahlias look ike chrysanthemums. . They were grown by Mrs. .j. terguson, ac- ordinar to the card in the window ith the flowers.

In Their Uniforms The First Company, Coast Artil lery, held their first drill with their full equipment last' night, and the boys were enthusiastic and made a fine showing. Naturally they don't andle their rifles with all the precis ion and grace that a lot of old-timers would, but still they made a reason ably good showing for the first time, and practice will soon make them proficient in handling the guns. At tired in their khaki uniforms, , with hats, belts, and bayonets worn in scabbards, and with the shining new rifles, the company made an appear ance that was highly attractive. The accoutrement is remarkably fine. There is nothing cheap or shoddy about it, and everything is made with a style and finish that makes one of the wearers of the uniforms proud of ALES TAGG Ice Cream 25c qt.
