The county board of equalization will be convened on October 19. Mr. Mahone Here Ex-Reverend ,and Legislator-elect L. D. Mahone, of Mnltnomah county, was in the city yesterday, shaking hands with hi old time friends here. He was in route to Seaside for a few days' outing, and seemed glad to grt back among the Astorians. He is the only independent member of the Multnomah delegation in the coming legislature and has but little to say ,., ,hc Senatorial or any other mietion of importance, thinking no doubt there will be an abundance of opportunity for talking directly to the pvirpose once he shall be sworn in at the Capital next January. ; ; CilOCOlQtCS , , , , the best in the world 50c a Pound, Scholfield St Mattson Co. tendance was good again last n)lit and the men teem to continue to take ' b keen interest in the work.

Black Hand Letter , The receipt ,of the "black hand" letter by the three proprietor of boarding houses in Uniontown has naturally caused much excitement in that part of the city. Every stranger U naturally being closely watched and many of the resident there have sud denly bloomed out as amateur detec tivra. '-.Yet apparently nothing of s definite nature has been ascertained, though in the minds of some suspic ion point in one certain direction very strongly, Inspection of the let ter, which are written in Finnish, shows one. fact with indubitable clearness. They were written by a man who received his education in the public schools of this country, for every line show most clearly the "vertical handwriting" which ha been taught in the public school for the pat ten or fifteen year. This verti cal handwriting i peculiar to the public schools of thi country, with but few minor exception, and once learned it is hardly possible to dis unite its influence on the chirography of any individual. County Court At the session of the .county court yesterday it was voted to allow the sum of $400 for the Clatsop county exhibit at the state fair in Salem, and a warrant for this amount will be be drawn in favor of C S. Dowwho will have charge of the display. The court spent a long and busy day in dis cussing many matters, mostly In re lation to the county roads, and among other things it was voted to grant Mr. and Mr. Charles Guillame the sum of $75, in full settlement of a claim for damages arising out of the fact that they had to fence the road running through their lands. The petition of the Multnomah Box Company for permission to cross the county road for logging purposes was granted. Proposition of Alex Akren to build a water tank at the Young' Bay bridge for $50 was ac cepted, and he wa instructed to start thc work at once. A communication from Mrs. W. S. Kenny in relation to a road through her place was placed on file. R. Barth was allowed $100 for rock that is to be taken from his property near the Klatskanine Falls. His Funeral Todair The full name of -OU Van," who) was tound dead in Ins bed I uesday night, was ascertained yesterday when Norris Staples brought to light an old check which he had given to him half a dozen years ago and upon which was endorsed the name Of W. C. Yandenberg. It is definitely known that he had been a soldier in the civil war and therefor the Cushing Post, G. A, R., will take charge of the burial, which will be today, at 8 o'clock this morning from the Gil baugh chapel. Interment will be in the G. AtR. plot in Ccean View cem etary, An inquest was held last ev cning upon the death of the old man and a verdict was returned in accord ance with the finding of Dr. Fulton that death was caused by apoplexy. Rut beyond the fact? that the name of the deccdant has been definitely as certained little information has been gained of his identity and life. His signature on the check would indi cate that it was written by a man of some education. He was of, a quiet and reserved nature and seldom talk ed of himself. It is said that quite a number of years ago Norris Staples let him have $80 with which he was going to Portland to make final ar rangements for a pension, but the be setting weakness of many of his class arose in him and he spent, the money in drink. The pension "might have lightened the burdens of his old age, but all chances for it were lost when he threw the money away in a few days' debauch. . Morning Astorian, 60 per month.

ASTORIANS RAILWAY ACTIVITIES IN CLAT- SOP AND TILLAMOOK COUNTIES. In conversation yesterday with a well known citizen of Clatsop county, who is well versed in the railway situation as ij is at present, and like ly to devetope hereabout, he gave out the following cheerful word anent thc recent reports: "The immediate resumption of con struction on the Tillamook road, by thc Harriman force, mean an early occupation 'by Harriman of hi re cent purchase of waterfront terminal property at Astoria; and this, id turn, means a marked business access in city and county. ) "The Tillamook road forks, in the Nehalem valley, with the main line running direct to thi city and the branch line going southwest to Til lamook bay and city; this being the expres language employed in the text of the company' franchise; and which lands potcntcy and terminal signifi cance to the Astoria end of the project- " "It is expected, also, that James J. Hill will take up, at once, the exten sion of the Astoria & Columbia River line from Seaside to Tillamook and it is not likely that Mr.' Harriman will be permitted to reach Tillamook first. Officials of both systems have been over their respective territorities very recently; and the conclusion is a safe and pertinent one, that there i to be a quick and gamey scramble for the cream of one of the best and greatest of the undeveloped sections of all Oregon, and such a contest by such forces as are aligned in this in stance cannot but re-act fortunately and even richly upon Astoria, the bi terminal of the sads at interest." PERSONAL MENTION Rev. Mr. Oslund and Professor Alexis, who were in Astoria in at- tendance upon the Lutheran confer- ence, started on their return journey to Spokane yesterday. Hon. H. B.

Uc RESIGNATION TEflRED BY fill BERRY POPULAR AND EFFICIENT CLERK OF WATER COMMIS SION MAY LEAVE POST. George VV. Lounibcrry, for thc past several years the popular and very efficient clerk of the water commis sion, has tendered his resignation, and it is probable that it will be acted upon at the meeting of the commis sion on Friday night, Mr. Lounsbcrry was reluctant to talk of the matter yesterday, but it is known that the resignation is in the hands of the commission, and some action will have to be taken. The place is said to have become a dif ficult one of recent years, involving no little labor, and it la understood that Mr, Lounsbcrry wishes to take up something that won't prove such a strain on his health. It is said to be a possibility, however, that some ar rangement may be made to lighten the burdens, perhaps by allowing some assistance. The many friends of Mr, Lounsbcrry will regret to hear of his intended resignation. Perhaps there is no other public position in Astoria that requires "the right man in the right place" more than this one docs. The clerk of the commission is in constant contact with the public, as men, women and even little children come to pay their water rates, and this, with the cleri cal, work, makes the position no light one.

On, the roof on the east side of the High School building has been paint- ed the characters "0 8" in letters ' that may be seen from all over the heights to the eastward. Just when this was done is not known to the school authorities are hoping that the i time the great sign was noticed was last Monday morning. Possibly it was done Saturday or Sunday night i Judging from the appearance of the characters as seen from the street, they were put on with paint, as hard ly anything else would leave them so clear cut and plain Some of the school authrities are hoping that the material used was nothing but chalk, so that the whole thing will wash away when the rains come; but this hope is apt to be a vain one. From the surrounding heights the letters look as big as this: 0 8 A year ago the 1907 class painted their "0 T. on the roof, and it stayed on until the roof was painted over at the instance of the board. It is prob able the school authorities will have to order that the new sign be painted over, and if not the presence of the great sign there during the win ter would undoubtedly be a source of much glee to the bnes who placed it there and to all the members of the class of 1908. The letters are perhaps eight or ten feet long, and are formed with much precision and skill. HALLEY'S COMET COMING. CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Astronomers at the Yerkes observatory in Wil liams Bay, Wis., began preparations last night to record the first obser i vations of the Ve-appcarance of Hal ley's comet. This comet appears once in 76 years and according to the figures it ought to come in sight some time during September or October. "There is a chance," said Director Frost of the observatory, "that we may pick it up this Fall. It will be faint at first, but brilliant later. It has been under observation for seven centuries. "It is an erratic comet, and it may not be seen at all this year. We are preparing to photograph it. A com mittee of astronomers was appointed at Put-in-Bay last month to consid er plans for observing the comet con tinuously during its two hours ap pearance near the earth. For Sale.
