Out Olney Way
County Commissieners Frye and
Moore and Judge Trenchard made a
trip out on the Olney road yesterday,
and visited both of the rock crushers.
They made a 40-mile journey and en-
Joyed it. There will no session of the other
court today, as the present business waa made
Day were flooded, and also the water
connection in several of the house
there have been cut off. 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)

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.

ber, under a bond of $200. The com

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-

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.
