Chairman Robinson who has charge
of the electric sign, "ASTORIA," for
the marine parade, is working ener
getically and promises to eclipse all
previous efforts.
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,

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

never better. The clothing manufacturers have reached a very
high degree of efficiency and for $20,00 to $30.00 you can get

uniforms decided upon and a do or
die spirit is being manifested by all.
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

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.
