Word From Warrenton Yesterday there was quite a force of telephone construction men down Warrenton way, laying out the work for the erection and installation of a big extension to the Farmer-line service out of this city; the line run ning down through the. Clatsop coun try and covlring a lot of new terrl tory, much to the gratification of the inhabitants thereof. The dog-poisoner is abroad in the Warrenton district and every dog down that way has be come an object of active solicitude on the part of its owner; for whosoever owns a dog "be it ever so humble,1 deems it infinitely better than the man or woman who goes about to poison it, and rightly.

It is said there are four candidates for the oflice of chief of police, to suc ceed Chief Gammal, who recently tendered his resignation, They arc Jimsley M. Houghton and Thomas (former sheriff), both police officers, and Clark Loughery, former chief of police, and Captain James Tatton, who is well known as a pilot and former sea-going man. It is further said, however, that none of these, ex cept possibly Mr. Loughery, is an ac tire in the sense that he is making any particular efforts to land the job, but each is apparently waiting to see just which way the cat is going to jump. There seems to be an impression that Captain Tatton is the strongest candidate, but it is understood that he will make no effort to secure the place at all, according to one or more of his friends, though quite willing to accept if the position comes his way. Just what influence politics will have in the matter is said to be prob lematical Commissioner Page is a Democrat; Commissioner Ford is a Republican, while Mr. Gordon, who is slated to succeed Commissioner Laurin, is- a Democrat,- and his ex pected appointment would leave the board safely Democratic Captain Tatton is a Democrat, and the only man of that political faith who is after the job. v The only objection intimated against Captain Tatton is that he has had no experience in police work, while the two police officers, Linville and Houghton, are admittedly able and experienced men in this line of work, and, of course, Mr. Loughery also does notvlack in matter of ex perience. It is said that politics is not likely to cut much of a figure in the ap pointments, and on every side among those who are interested in the city's affairs is heard the wish that a keen, bright and alert man will get the place, and one who can be depended upon to enforce the laws of the city and state. "Whoever is appointed," said a man last night, "it is to be hoped that he will be one who will so arrange mat ters that the police department and the sheriff's office will work in har mony, for there has been altogether too much of a spirit of antagonism between these two departments."

At the regular meeting of the Wal ter Commission last night all of the members except Commissioner Bnx were present The most important matter considered and passed upon was the question of constructing the 20,000,000 gallon re-enforced concrete reservor. J. G. Kelley, the consulting engineer from Portland was present and submitted plans and specifications for the great reservoir, at, an esti mated cost of $103,462. Hr Kelley was instructed to prepare proposals, and the clejrk was instructed to adver tise for bids for the construction of the same in accordance with the pro posals to be submitted by the consult engineer. The bids must be filed with the clerk at the office of the water commission was t not later than 12 o'clock noon on October Z While it is probable that the work will then be proceeded with, providing the bids are satisfactory, nevertheless the commission may reject the bids "and try again. The clerk's report last night show ed a total business for the month of August of $4458.32; the total .cash collections were $4473.22, and the treasurer's statement showed the sum of $40,156.96 on hand in the gen eral fund on August 31., The monthly report 'of Assistant Superintendent Johnson was read and ordered placed on file.

The superintendent was instructed to run the necessary pipes to give re lief to the residents along the Scow Bay waterfront. The main there has been broken by the sliding of the hill, and the superintendent was authoriz ed to run a pipe from Exchange street to give the necessary supply of water.

OFFICERS PILE UP DAMAGINO TESTIMONG AGAINST W. L. SERGEANT IN COURT. W. L. Sergeant is the name of a man who appeared before Judge An derson, m police court yesterday af ternoon on a charge of vagrancy, pre ferred by Police Officer Dan Belcher, Sergeant is a likely looking young man, who is well known in certain circles in this city. Four police offi cers testified in court yesterday that he has never done any work while in this city and that he is an idle and dissolute person. Meantime Sergeant kept fidgeting in his chair while the officers kept piling up their testimony against him. Judge Anderson found the defend ant guilty. A fine of $30 or 15 days in jail was imposed. At this point Attorney McCue, who was represent ing the prisoner, arose and said that his client had planned to leave the city and wished to do so, and that if the fine were remitted he would go and probably stay. Judge Anderson acted upon this suggestion and it is probable that this city will not know Sergeant any more, at least for a long time to come. A year ago he was arrested on a similar charge and then was fined $60. It was apparent that Sergeant thought he was treated very badly. He has had an interest in "S saloon in Portland until recently, and he testi fied that he has not actually been ia Astoria more than ten days since he sold out of the saloon about two months ago. For a week or more he has been out in the Nehalem on an outing trip. But he preferred to live in the red-light district in a house that is not supposed to take lodgers and therefore the police got after him. Dorothy Melvin was also charged with vagrancy. She appeared in court with a face of infantile innocence, and through her attorney asked for a con tinuance until today. Back of the charge of vagrancy is a suspicion that she robbed a man of $80. TRACE OF MISSING MAN. ' CHICAGO, Sept 4.-WaIlace H. Hopkins, the fugitive mining broker, who disappeared last April, following his failure in business which resulted from an unsuccessful attempt to float $1,000,000 worth of bonds in the Con solidated Zinc Company, may be ia Chicago, It is declared that he majj make good his word to pay all of his $200,000 obligations "If given a chance."
