BOARD
ILWACO
The summer beach season is draw
ing to a close. The Potter last Sun-
day had almost her limit of passen-
gers mid in a few more days the quiet
times on the beach will be upon us,
While a cod many people have visit -
ed the beach this season, there has
not been the volumn of business done
by the merchants as in former years,
Since the completion of the railroad
to Megler and the boats landing there
on regular schedule the time for ar -
rival at the different points on the
beach has been shortened several
hours making it more convenient for
the traveling public to reach their
destination.
Candidates for the different county
offices have been numerous in Ilwaco
for the past two weeks. Some of them
have been so bold as to post bills and
give a talk in the hall aside from
what they have already said on the
streets. By the time the election
rolls round we will all be familiar
with the topics of the day; what un
fairness has been practiced by some
and how they will be remedied b,y
others. For one month at this time
of the year promises are promiscious
ly made; and then for twenty-three
months after the election the people
wonder why they are not being car
ried out.
. The" launch. "Teddy Roosevelt,"
Captain Sigurdson, master, commenc
ed regular trips between Ilwaco,
Chinook and Astoria the first of the
month. She leaves Astoria at 10:30
a. m. arrives at Ilwaco about 12 m.
and leaves Ilwaco for Astoria at 1:30
p. m. She carries both freight and
passengers. She will land at the old
farmer's dock at the present but we
understand that a more suitable and
convenient place will be provided in
the near future. The people of Ilwaco
should give a liberal supply of their
patronage to this boat as it means a
great deal to all concerned.
James Howerton, who has been
confined to his bed for the past five
months with an aggravated case of
rheumatism returned Jrom the Port
land Sanitarium on last Saturday ev
ening on the Potter train and is now
at the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
H. W. Nott, inthis city. Though he
has been under medical treatment in
Portland for the past two months he
returns e y little if any improved j
in health. Me was accompanied home j

Sheriff McDonald, of South Bend,
was in town the latter part of the
week shaking hands with the boys.
He informed us he was not aspiring
for honors at the coming election, but

Is just pure Mocha and Java
prepared in a new way. The cof
fee berry is cut up (not ground)
by knives of almost razor sharp
ness into small uniform particles.
Thus it is not crushed, as by the
old method of grinding, and the
little oil cells remain unbroken.
The essential oil (food product)
cannot evaporate and is preserved
indefinitely. This is one reason
why a pound of Barrington Hall
will make IS to 20 cups more of
full strength coffee than will any
coffee ground the old way; why
it excels all other coffee in flavor
and why it. will keep perfectly
until used.
But the main thing; about Barr
ington Hall Coffee is that it can
be used without ill effect by those
who find ordinary coffee injures
them, because the yellow tannin
bearing skin and dust (the only
injurious properties of coffee) are
removed by the "steel-cut" pro
cess. A delicious coffee not a
tasteless substitute. ,

ami stated that he would still con
tinue him in the office as deputy de
spite their protests.
The new peat works are almost
ready for the manufacture of fuel
, The machinery was started a few
days ago and except for some minor
' parts worked satisfactorily,. A few
'pieces of the peat fuel was made into
j brick form and placed fn the dry
j shed. The manager stated that with
in a few days he would be turning out
! the manufactured article at the rate
jof about 30 tons per day. This will
add one more to the list of industries
for Ilwaco and carry with it a nice
pay roll at the end of each month.
A large number of Ilwacoites at
tended the Regatta held at Astoria
last week and all report it one of the
best ever held in that city. The
amusements were good but the most
enjoyable place some of them found
was the country dance. It pleased
them to hear the old familiar words
"Sashay" and "Shake Yo Feet", so
much so, that they did not come home
'til morning.
Daniel Markham, Joe Markham,
Frank Embree and several others left
the latter part of last week for Shoal
water Bay where they will engage in
fall fishing. We understand they have
all secured hunters' licenses for the
season and no doubt some of the
citizens of Ilwaco will be feasting on
wild game ere long.
R. H. Herrold returned to Ilwaco,
the first of the week from over on
the bay. He has salmon poison in
the right hand and is here for medical
treatment

MR. CLARK RESIGNS AND W. A.
SHERMAN IS APPOINTED
BY BOARD IN HIS STEAD
Superintendent A. L. Clark of the
Astoria public schools last night ten
dered his resignation as clerk of the
school board because of the fact that
he is already overladen with work in
connection with the supcrintendency
of the schools alone. The resignation
was accepted and W, ;A. Sherman
county treasurer, was appointed clerk
in Mr. Clark's stead. Year by year
the work in relation to the schools
keeps growing larger and more di
verse, and it is such that it occupies
all the energies and attention of the
superintendent
At the board's regular meeting last
night the action of the committee on
teachers in recommending the ap
pointmcnt of the following was acted
upon and approved: Miss Anne
Lewis, Miss Helma Hukari, Miss
Hilda Fridberg, Miss Carrie- Barnes,
Miss Mary Settem, Miss Emma
foiutson. The resignation of Mrs
Doris Bailey was accepted, and also
of Miss Esther Larson, who resigns
for the purpose of attending normal
school.
The committee on supplies reported
that all the desks have been cleaned
and they now will be varnished.
communication was received from the
Pacific States Telephone Company
statins: that the company could no
longer grant a free 'phone for the
clerk's office. The janitors are to
start on September 7 to clean the
buildings and all the rooms prepara
tory to the opening of the schools
The following bills were ordered paid
Frederickson Bros., $434.15: Allen
Wall Paper & Paint Co., $33.30; Foard
& Stokes Hardware Co., $19.20; W. F
Jones, salary to August 21, $50; W. F.
Jones, filing saws, $1.50; O. W.Whit
man, $4; Odd Fellows' Building &

Telegraph Co., $3; A. L. Clark, $150;
American Surety Co., $40; C. H.
Spencer, $433.50; Axel Johanson,
$267.45.
All of the members of the board
were present last night. Two bills,
one by the Clatsop Mill Company,
and the other by the Prael-Eigner
Company, were held pending a report
from the committee.
FLOURiMILL PROJECT IS
NEW YORK PEOPLE AND MON
EY BEHIND PROPROSITION
-SITE ONLY, ASKED FOR.
A certain party, whose name is not
disposed, but who is unquestionably
representing New York people and
capital, is in the city, in conference
with the Chamber of Commerce au
thorities and other leading business
men, with a view to the erection of a
1000-barrel-a-day flour mill in this
city, or neighborhood, and a wheat
elevator to accompany the enterprise;
the only desideratum being that the
site shall be given outright to the pro
jectors, who, it is said, are unqualified
ly able and willing to make the ven
ture, for which there is abundant
money.
This is startlingly good news for
Astoria; and there are those , who
have the sites and who, it is believed,
will jump at the chance of securing
such a splendid plant as an ally and
inducement for the improving and
selling of their contiguous holdings;
and the hope is abroad along with
the rumor, that no time will be lost in
nailing this supreme advantage.
This is the second time that a tan
gible offer of the sort has been made
here; the other hailing from A. B.
Hammond and his associates some
four years ago, at which time T. B.
Wilcox, of Portland, did some clever
business legerdermaim -and the plan
was passed up here and is now flour-
shing over on Puget Sound.
It is strictly up to Astoria to see
that no such circumlocution is per
mitted in the instance at hand. Take
your idle lands in your hand and
give them to John II. Whyte, the ca
pable secretary of the Astoria Cham
ber of Commerce, for instant and
generous use in ; this splendid in
stant.

LICE COMMISSION -WILL
ENTER COMMERCIAL LIFE.
Police Chief Charles Gammal, of
this city, has filed his resignation as
such officer, with the Astoria police
commission, the document reaching
that department yesterday. The com
missioners asked the Chief to await
the disposal of the matter until the
board, in full membership, could be
gotten together, and he acquiesced.
Chief Gammal assigns as a principal
reason for leaving the service, that he
can make better money by pursuing
certain commercial interests in which
he is interested. The resignation will
be acted upon very shortly, probably
as soon as the new third member is
appointed.
All of which goes to prove that the
Astorian was not so far out, a few
weeks ago, when it published upon
the declaration of Chief Gammal, a
flat denial of the very circumstance
now and here, set forth as having
transpired.
The Astorian, along with plenty
more, friends of Mr. Gammal, wishes
him success and prosperity in his new
field and relations in the business
world.

people can accomplish such wonder
ful success at home and exert such
influences abroad cannot be too
thoroughly studied or too carefully
guarded. Practically all the greatest
publicists agree that the most vital
feature of the general plan of our gov
ernment is found in the distribution
of its power among three separate,
ndependent an co-ordinate depart
ments.
"It is fundamental that neither shall
encroach upon the other. The legis
lative shall not without Constitutional
authority, take from, or add to the
powers of the judiciary, nor shall the
judiciary annul or embarrass the law
fully enacted will of the legslative.
Working in harmony as their official
duties require," the result is as near
perfection as human imperfection
will allow. .
"We can only speculate as to the
disappointing consequences that
would ensue if they should work at
cross purposes. For the'trcdit of
these two departments, neither has
ever wilfully infringed upon or denied
the powers of the other. Through all
the years that have passed they have
been so true to the purpose of their
creation that they have carefully re
spected and jealously guarded each
the rights of the other.
'But worse than legislative and
judicial discord would be an invasion
of either of the other departments by
the executive. All the powers of that
department arc consolidated in a
single individual. He is "The ' commander-in-chief
of the army and the
navy. He has in his own hands all
the tremendous power of public pa
tronage He not only has under his
control, and subject to his will, so far
as their tenure is concerned, thou
sands of office holders, but he has
even more immediately under his
command a constantly increasing
army of more, at the present time,
than' 3000 special agents, inspectors
and secret service men whose highest
aw is his bidding.
"Under a bold, aggressive, un
scrupulous and designing executive
this power. of appointment of these
armies of appointees could so be ex
ercised and directed as to destroy the
ndcpcndcnce and impair the useful-
t f J i 1. 4.1. - -
ness and cmcicncy oi om inc ouier
departments.
"Such an abuse of power would be
violation of the Constitution which
f long acquiesced in might eventually
work its overthrow. .
"Such practices are of such serious
character that they are not likely of
ten to occur, but nevertheless we
hould be ever watchful to rebuke
them when they do occur, lest in them
we find our undoing, Open and avow-
d enemies are not always the most
dangerous,

OLD VAN'S" FULL NAME NOT
EVEN KNOWN. THOUGH
HERE FOR 30 YEARS.
After living in and around Atoria
for nearly 30 years "Old Van" was
found dead in his bed at 252 Alitor
street last night, and yet among all
those
who heard of his death lant
nigfit there was none who could tell
his first name.
The old man died alone, In poverty,
almost friendless, with no relatives or
children as far as is known. His last
name is Vanderbcrg. He used to be a
cook, mostly in yie camps, and for the
past year or two had lived in the room
where he died, which was aiven to
him by Henry Vahlsing, the cigar
dealer, out of compassion for the old
man. Mr. Vahlsing had known him in
the days when he used to cook and
gladly permitted the old man the use
of the room.
Last night Coroner Gitbaugh made
an effort to find out something defi
nite in regard to the dead man but it
was not possible to ascertain much of
value, though it is probable that to
day there will be some who can vol
unteer some information. It was stat
ed that Attorney J. H. Smith had
recently endeavored to secure a pen
sion for "Van," but Mr. Smith stated
to The Astorian lat night that this is
a mistake and that he knew nothing
of him. It is presumed, however, that
he had been a soldier in the Civil
War, The cause of death i not
known, but there were indications in
the room that he had ben taken sick
and had tried to help himself. He
was not accustomed to drink much, it
is said, but on Saturday he had taken
at least one or two drink. Coroner
Gitbaugh will decide today whether an
inquest will be necessary. "Old Van"
was a familiar figure around the
streets, and many will recall him a
;i rather cleanly old man with long
flowing white hair that fell upon his
shoulders. He was over 70 years of
age. The last seen of him was on
Saturday night, and when he failed to
appear in his customary haunts, his
absence was observed and Mr. Vahl
sing made an investigation. Nothing
was found in his room that revealed
his identity.
t:nccs and undermine and thwart hu
man endeavor before they are
recognized, This is particularly true
in governmental expenditure.
"All the teachings of history pro
claim that there- is no safety except
where there is eternal vigilance. If
there should come necessity for
changes in our organized law let us
make them in accordance with its
provisions, having the requisite pa
tience and patriotism therefor and
ever remembering and believing that
what Washington and his associates
framed, and Lincoln and his associ
ates with the help of the grand old
Union army, perfected, is good
enough for you and me, and for all
who are coming after us."
