Captain Simon of the fW-masted ship Donna Francisca, has promised to let the champion chanty-song men from his good ship lead in chanty songs after the crowning of Queen Hattie. There is another one of the new features and should prove highly interesting. A number of local gen tlemen who possess good voices have been requested to assist. Admiral Shepherd is expected here today to confer with the Regatta committee The admiral has mailed handsomely printed commissions to each member of his staff, which com missioners are much appreciated. The sheriffs of Oregon who hold their annual gathering here during the regatta will turn out in the grand parade. Secretary Foster of the Veteran Fireman's Committee is receiving numerous acceptances from the old volunteers to turn out with the ma chines once again. - - - The Tug of War Men Agree on Live Pig as Booby Prize Will Photograph Them ' The captains of the various teams in the tug of war contest to be held during the regatta met with the com mittee yesterday and discussed mat ters connected therewith and settled several important matters in connec tion with the contest The meeting was a very harmon ious one and was attended by H. F. Prael, G. C. Fulton and Judge Olof Anderson, the committee in 'charge, Capt. A. M. Planck, the manager, and the captains of all the teams. Several matters were thoroughly discussed and the unanimity of sentiment evi dent showed the enthusiasm .of th different teams, each being determine ed to win, and confident that they will do so. Capt. Franciscovich of the Austrian team before the adjournment, jocu larly suggested that a booby prize be 'awarded to the team in the last place jin the awards, and proposed that a live pig be the prize. The suggestion caused laughter but was picked up by the captains and the committee, and Messrs. Prael, Fulton and Anderson I . . yf agreed to pay ior me pig, rranciscu vich to secure it, and his porkshop is to be in evidence in the parade and on the stand during the tournament. Everything is going finely in the preparations, the teams are training, Come In and Inspect Our New Fall Suits and Millinery Now on Hand Jaloffs, The Style Store 537 Commercial Street The work of the contractor in im proving West Commercial street has thus far caused very little trouble or damage to the homes that lie in the lower ground directly to the north Yesterday, however, it is understood the water pipes in the home of Mrs. J N. smith at m first street were badly twisted apparently by the great mass of earth used in the fill directly to the south of the house. The most interesting question that has arisen in connection with the im provements on West Commercial treet relates to the proposed abut ment at the rear of the property be longing to Postmaster John Hahn. According to statements made at the city hall, when the plans and specifi cations of this improvement were for mulated it was not contemplated that any bulkhead would be required at the Hahn property, inasmuch as it seemed to have been the impression that Mr. Hahn would good naturcilly permit sufficient filling in hi yard to act as a natural abutment for the graded street, provided and were needed. But it appears that Mr. llahn's property is cultivated clear to the street line; flowers and berry bushes grow there, and in addition to this, the contemplated filling in his back yard clearly would hardly add to the value nor the sightliness of his place. Therefore he objects to the tilling, it is understood, and the neces- ity of a bulkhead arises. For a clear understanding of the situation it must be premised that immediately to the west of Mr. llahn's property bulkheads were pro vided for, and naturally are to be paid for by the general, ' assessment dis trict. These bulkheads to the west were constructed, especially in front of the Mrs. Trullinger property. But so vast was the weight cf ishing against the Trullinger abutment that it has begun to bend and give, and one of the poles is already cracked. One might easily guess that this bulkhead, which does not wear an ap pearance of great strength, is likely to give away and if it docs the house would probably be given a bad shak ing up and would be half buried. It is said that the contractor, Mr. Foote, has purchased the Trullinger house very recently and intends to fill in the lot and raise the house to grade, which apparently is an excellent means of avoiding the possible dan ger from the bulging bulkhead. The bulkhead at Mr. Hahn's prop erty would not necessarily be very high. The only question is, whcthemJ he should pay for it, or should it be paid for by others within the improv ed district; or, should he be com pelled to pay for even a part of it when it may be argued that the im provement is of no benefit to his property. Meantime the question of sliding property in this locality may arise later, especially as to homesteads to the south which He on the hillside and the cutting down of the street to grade simply has a tendency to cut away the support of the properties in question. We arc receiving shipments of Fall good's.' This year the style and patterns are nicer than ever before and the quality was never better. The clothing manufacturers have reached a very high degree of efficiency and for $20,00 to $30.00 you can get i a more stylish nicer fitting and better wearing suit than you formerly got from the tailor for $35.00 to $40.00.

The teams will be photographed in a few days and the pictures place on ex hibition, for identification purposes, that being in accordance with the contest. Everything points to a most successful outcome and this will, without doubt, be one of the main features of the regatta. The selection of Chief of Police Gammal as, referee gives good satis faction to all of the teams as do also G. C. Fulton and Judge Olof Ander son as judges, with A. W. Hawkinson of Portland, who has much experience in Oregon and California, and Con stable Lon Wagner, also of Portland, as special judges. H. F. Prael will be official timekeeper.

HIGH GRADE GROCERIES 521 COMMERCIAL STREET PHONE 681 POLICE CHIEF ADVISES ' MORE CAUTION DURING REGATTA WEEK THE HOUSEHOLDERS SHOULD GUARD AGAINST THEFTS If you are a bondholder and ac customed to keep Standard Oil and other securities in the housed or if you are a house-wife and are in the habit of leaving the silver spoons and other valuable things lying around somewhat carelessly, it rnay well to remember that during the regatta week there will be many Strangers in ; the city. Already many are here. It probably will be the pan, of wisdom to see that things are placed in a safe place, and especially that doors and windows are nT carelessly left open while everyone is downtown. Last year a few p'ickpockets infest ed the crowds, just as there was a little of that work done on the last Fourth of July celebration, but all-in-all Astoria has usually been quite fortunate in not having many rob beries of a serious kind. Nevertheless "verb, sap", as the school boys used to learn. ' Chief )f Police Gammal said last evening that preparations win De made to watch the crowds, and that special police officers will be detailed in civilian clothes. Chief Gammal also suggests that householders, should be careful while there are so many strangers in the city. Recently there have been a num ber of petty thefts, along the water front and in hotels and saloons. Yes terday a warrant was issue for the arrest of a man by name of Alexan der who is charged with having stolen a suit of clothes from Henry Fowler at the New Nehalcm house several days ago. The clothes were recover ed in a pawn shop, where they had been "put up" for only a few dollars. A couple of weeks ago the theft of some jewels including one or more diamonds, was reported at one of the hotels, but the police were not able to fasten the crime upon anyone, though suspicion was directed to wards one person in particular. The jewels were stolen from a lady who is visiting her sister in Astoria. NEW TO-DAY All Thin'gi Modern. "The Modern,' the beautiful ton sorial establishment of Arthur E.
