It ia pre aumcd that it waa the main pipe which waa broken. Thievea Were Busy Juit how many robberies were committed and reported to the au thorities during the three daya of the Regatta will probably never be known by the general public. In ad dition to the man who lost or waa robbed of over $800 in a street car, another Uniontown fisherman was robbed of $200, a man had his vest pocket picked of $35 while buying a ticket at the depot window, and a woman waa robbed tf $10, That there were other cases is probable. Interesting Figures The arrival o( the two salmon ships from Alaska, with practically 100,000 ca'cs of salmon for general shipment over the continent, has put it up to the Astoria & Columbia River Rail road Company, to hustle cars to meet the case with dispatch. At 70 pound per case, it leaves 7,000,000 pounds of stuff to be moved; or 3500 tons; or 175 cara of 40 tons capacity each; all of which the company is handling with commendable rapidity. Street Work Accepted- Certificates of .approval of the street work done on Twenty-third street from Commercial to a point 75 feet north of Exchange street, and from Commercial to Exchange, were filed yesterday in the office of the city auditor. The work was done by Birch & Jacobson, and there were two dis-i tinct jobs, one being for relaying the planking and the other in driving pilea. One job, was for $1832 and the for $1538.40. The acceptance by the street committee back and watch it do the work, with any sized drill from a wire size to a full inch bore. It is very small and compact and an invaluable aid in Mr, Adams' business. Regatta At Csthlamet Cathlainct is making great prepara tions for her Regatta tomorrow and it is " probable : that many from this city will go. Mayor Wise has writ ten the Cathlamet regatta committee that the Astoria Regatta committee w ill attend, and that the. Queen and Iter daid from his city will also at tend the festivities in the neighboring city. Miss Marion Morill has beer) elected Queen of the Cathlamet Re K.'itta, and she has selected her maids as follows; 1 (attic Nassa, May Strand, Ethel Below, Rowena Arthur, Louis Kellcy and Mary Olscn. He Waived Examination Charles J. Bcrtlcson,' proprietor o( the Warwick saloon, was arrested yesterday on a warrant issued from the justice court charging him with assault with a deadly weapon. That is, he is accused of having drawn a revolver on Police Officer Houghten while the latter was attempting to arrest him for permitting, a woman to be in a wine room in his saloon. Mr. Bertleson appeared before Justice Goodman yesterday afternoon and waived his preliminary examination and was bound over to the criminal term of the circuit court in Septem ber, under a bond of $200. The com plaint was sworn to by Officer Houghton. Petition For Road A petition for a new road extending to the Tillamook line from the Ne canicum bridge has been filed with the county court. It asks that the new thoroughfare start at the Ne canicum bridge and extend in a southerly direction to the county line by the most practicable rnite, and to strike the county line so as to con. nect with the road already construct ed to the county line by the Tilla mook authorities.

Something Dropped They, tell a good story of a well- known Astorian, who, the other day, became possessed with the notion that he could buy his furniture cheaper in Portland that he could here, and have a wider range of se lection, etc., and who took the morn iug train to the metropolis to prove it. He dropped into a seat in the "Smoker" and all was well for a while; but upon a sudden and severe jar of the car, there came down upon his devoted head the kit and tools of a logger, from the package-rack over his head, and the steel and iron tools, to which there seemed no end at all, struck him right and left over the head and cut his eye badly. He took it as a "hunch," and when. he met the down express, he boarded it for home, and did his trading right on Commercial street the very next day. ; Company Will Camp . Announcement was made by Cap tain AbercrOmbie of the First Com pany yesterday that plans have been made for an encampment for the or ganization some time within the next month. The plan is to go over to the rifle range near the bridge on Young's river some Saturday night and remain until Monday , morning. Sufficient camp equipment will be taken to make a regular encampment out of it, and while there the men will be put through skirmish drills, and the like, and will mount guard and otherwise take up the duties of sol diers in the field. It is believed such an encampment would prove of much interest and at the same time would be of no. little value in securing a practical training for the men. Cooks will be taken and a sufficient amount of food stuffs to make everyone com fortable for the time in camp. Cap tain Abercrombie proposes to have four or five of these encampments during the year, and while much of the pleasure of ; the encampments would depend largely on weather con- ALEX TAGG Ice Cream 25c qt.

Much Feeling Shown In Uniontown the chiefest topic of conversation, is the ' question of the authorship of the "black hand" let ters, and on every side there is much activity in the efforts to -ferret out the identity of the one or more mis creants who wrote the letters. So great is the feeling, it is said, that if the perpertators of the plan to ex- Tbrtionate were apprehended there would be danger of a lynching. Meantime the local authorities are making no systematic or persistent efforts to solve the problem of the authorship, and in defense of this it is pointed out that the police have no time to properly care for such a matter; as each officer is kept busy on his own beat and at his regular work. It is said that the police de partment really requires the services of one or more men who have the re quisite ability and who would have the opportunity to do plainclothes detective work. The matter has been reported to the postal authorities, but it is not known whether any of the postal agents have come here or not. Several strangers in town are being closely watched by the residents of Uniontown. Dance At Hammand. A dance wiU be given at the Red Men's hall at Hammond on Saturday evening, September Sth.
