They Caught The Lilt
The gentlemen charged with the
rendering of the famous Chanties, the
song of the sea, which constituted an
express feature of the reception of
Queen Hattie yesterday at the grand
stand, were equal to the somewhat
odd task, and the ringing, swinging
music wa happily given with time
and tone and vim that pleased every
one within the radius of the melodies.
II. Ifarriman, of, the Southern Pacific
The Regatta supplied a pleasant pre
text for an outing and the Governor
will extend his stay over today.
A River Mystery
J he fact that the sloop Guiding
Star did not reach port from Portland
yesterday on time, caused distinct
uiii-asinvss in the minds of Chaplain
ttvrmiys and his friends, and that gen
tkman went up the river yesterday
afternoon to have a look for the craft,
which is being sailed down by a lad
of 19 years, lie returned without
ight or ward of the missing craft,
and the conclusions vary a between
the boat having put in somewhere
for repairs or turned back to Port
land.' "
Fined $5-
Oliver Clover, a longshoreman, was
fined $5 by Justice Goodman yester
day afternoon on a charge of having
assaulted Charles H. Thomson. Clo
ver appeared before the justice and

one. He was attacked first, he aver
red. Thomson says Clover hit him
with a chair. ! t

,'o one ever wearie of the fine ex
hibitions always put up by the life
saving crew on this station, and the
display made yesterday by the Point
Adams crew, Captain Wicklund com
manding, wa thoroughly appreciated
by the vast concourse on the water
front; and not the least interest of
the hour was the swift service ren
dered by this crew to the sloop in
distress off shore, and referred to
elsewhere in these columns..
Showing Splendid Improvement
All AMoria noted with pleasure yes
terday the splendid improvement at
tained by the Park Band and the
comment was wide and generous.
The boys in their new uniforms, their
precise marching and perfect time and
new melodies made best impression
among all the local presentations.
Will Measure Todsy-
Owing to a lot of confusion in that
relation yesterday, there was no
means offered contestants for the of
ficial measuring of their racing craft
and Charles Haddix, who was ap
pointed In this behalf by Captain Mc
Nulty, but never informed of the ap
pointment, will, today, be attained to
anyone with a boat to measure, if
the owner will call on him at the
west end of the grandstand on the
Flavel dock.
Having g Good Time
The 40 clcrgyiikn now here in at
tendance upon the Columbia confer
ence of the Lutheran church in Ore
gon, arc thoroughly enjoying their
especial labors and the pleasant
things incident to the Regatta season,
as well. The Ladies' Aid Society of
the First Lutheran church held a
reception in honor of these gentlemen
yesterday afternoon, and the affairs
was most happily disposed of. This
evening there will be a fine educa
tional program at the church, in Eng
lish, and all who will are most cor
dially invited to be present.
Violating Box Ordinance
Charles Bcrtelscn, proprietor of the
Warwick saloon, was arrested last
evening, by Police Officer Elmsley
Houghton, for violating the private
box ordinance in force ;in this city,
and the matter will be tried out to
day before Judge Anderson, in the
municipal court. It is reported that
Bcrtelsen made some very definite
resistance to the arrest and that a
gun figured in his argument against
it, but it did not avail in any sense,
since it never does in cases that Offi
cer Houghton deals with. This fea
ture of the case may be added to the
charges already preferred.
Were Married Here
His Excellency In Town
Governor George E. Chamberlain,
of Oregon, arrived in the city on the
noon express yesterday and is domi
ciled at the Hotel Occident. The
governor is glad tcf get away from the
strain of official life once in a way,
Captain C. R. Spencer, of the well "'i'1 wPy time, " he i
known steamer of that name and Miss
C. Fay Gearhart, were married at
the parsonage of the M. I-.. church
yesterday by the Rev. C. C. Rarick.
Captain Spencer and his bride left
on the steamer Spencer for Portland
where they will make their home.

The officers of the artillery posts
at the mouth of the Columbia river,
yesterday extended a cordial invita- J
worn with the long and arduous trip
in and out of the Klamath country
whither he went to meet President E.
Have a Kick Coming
There was no lack of sharp com
ment upon the fact that, the handsome
quarantine steamer Electro was per
mitted to act as an impediment to the
landing of the Queen's party from the
royal steamer Heather yesterday
morning when she approached the
grandstand dock; and that she was
held at that point all the afternoon
long, directly in front of the. center of
the grandstand, to the certain annoy
ance of a great many people whose
vision was obstructed. Red tape is
all right in its place, and it might
well have been displaced yesterday,
as it has always been heretofore on
Regatta occasions..

He Got Shaved
There was one man who didn't sec
the parade yesterday afternoon, for
he was in a barber shop getting shav
ed. Evidently he had imbibed spark
ling waters of various brands and had
then tried straights and also mixed
drinks. When he received his first
shave 'and haircut he insisted upon
another, and insisted upon taking
nap while he was receiving the atten
tions of the tonsorial artist. Every
time he would wake up he would in
ist upon having another nap and an
other shave and haircut, and paid
each time for what he was supposed
to have got. Between naps and pay
ing for imaginary haircuts he passed
most of the afternoon.

Oregon Sheriffs Here
Eight of the Oregon sheriffs who
are due in Astoria- for convention
purposes arrived here yesterday in
ample time to be made guests of the
city at the hands of Mayor Wise, and
were then turned over to their fellow-
sheriff and official sponsor and host,
Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy, of this coun
ty. The gentlemen from abroad are a
fine and typical body of men and any
one of them is a good fellow to stay
away from if you have not been doing
the square thing. Each and all seem
ed to find great pleasure in the prog
ress of the Regatta, and as a body
took part in the grand shore parade,
a number of the local automobilists
of the city, turning their cars over to
the party. They will go into conven
ion this morning at 9 o'clock, at the
county court room in the beautiful
new court house and will initiate that
apartment to those uses. Those ar-

Another Happy Incident
The. opening day of the Regatta
was not without its extra' happy inci
dents, not the least of which was the
home-coming of the American ship
Henry Villard, with 200 or more As
torians on board, glad to get here
after four long months in Alaska, in
the interest of, the Alaska Fishermen's
Packing Company, of this city. The
fine old ship swung up the harbor on
the tow-lines of the bar tug Wallula
right in the midst of the afternoon
program, and the interchange of re
sounding cheers between shore and
ship was among the very pleasantest
incidents of a long and jolly day. The
Villard berthed at the A. & C. docks,
and up at the office of the company,
Mr. Noonan had everything in perfect
readiness for the reception and pay
ment of the company's faithful host
of employes. , ,
Just In Time
Of course the sight of a huge log-
raft, headed for the open sea, is no
marvel to the people of Astoria nor
to the denizens of the Columbia
river valley as far up as the mouth
of the Willamette, but to the man or
woman from the interior of this state
or others east of here, it is always
an "eye-opened" of startling roagni
tude and interest; and the arrival
down, yesterday afternoon, at the
very height of the festivities, with
hundreds of visiting strangers along
the waterfront, was an added feature
to the big range of Regatta attrac
tions. It came down on the triple
hawsers of the steamers Sarah Dixon,
M. -F. Henderson and George Scha
fer, and was taken to the dolphins in
the lower harbor, and went out on
the lines of the Wanderer, the Cali
fornia tug that is to take it to San
Diego. It was commented upon on
all sides. , .
smart and even heat The mines are
about five miles from Stella, and half
way between this city and Portland,
and Mr. Rose says it can be deliv
eed at any home in the city, of As
toria for $7.00 per ton. It is hard and
clean and has the look of a very
useable article. He intends to open a
depot here for the handling of the
product on the basis named, in the
course of a few days and entertains
no doubt whatever that the coal will
justify the enterprise fully and rapid
ly, with the citizens here.
New Coal Proposition
R. B. Rose, general manager of the
Coal Creek Coal & Mining Company,
was in this city yesterday in the in
terest of his concern and Us output,
Doctor Loses Case
' At Tillamook the suit brought bv
Dr. T. W. Ross against W. J. Steph
ens, for $175, for professional services
performed upon Stephens' father,
caussed considerable interest in that
city. J. S. Stephens was thrown out
of the Forest Grove stage in the early
part of January, 1907, and had his stub
arm and four or five rfbs broken, be
sides receiving numerous buises. He
got Dr. Ross to attend to the injuries,
They started the next morning for
the mountains, but as the weather was
storming and the rivers out of their
banks, it was 2 o'clock the next day
before they reached the injured man
Evidence showed that Dr. Ross had
performed his duties in a professional
manner, and that J. S. Stephens had
sent word to his son to send a doc
tor. As neither father nor son would
pay the bill, Ross brought suit against
the son, bat the jury gave a verdict
for W. J. Stephens, claiming that he
should have sued the father. The
case is to be appealed.
