Before he left the city yesterday (V
B. Hegardt the well known civil en
gineer, who was here on business con
nected with the proposed seawall am
endment to the Astoria charter, talked
pleasantly and cheerfully of his own
line project of diking Tenas Illihee
Island, in the Columbia, opposite Clif
ton, purchased from the late Clark
Carnahan early in 1907, a venture he
and a partner arc prosecuting steadily
and successfully.
The island contain 1600 acres of
land which involves six miles of dik
ing, two miles of which have been
completed, the dike having a 30-foot
base and a 10-foot crest. Mr. Hegardt
says that every foot of the frontage
has been and will be divested of roots,
snags and all substances likely to rot
out and leave hollow that may be
invaded by the tides to the detriment
of the work of reclamation, the whole
system being deeply ditched on the
inside.
He is sanguine of making the prop
erty, which cost him $11,000, worth
many times its cost by reason of the
skilfull and careful work they are de
voting to it; and the completion of
this work, along with several other
parallel ventures in that neighbor
hood, will be certain to benefit As
toria by reason of the splendidly pro
ductive acreages that will supply this
market with the finest of marketable
fruits and vegetables, etc.
Mr. Hegardt has the best wishes of
a lot of people down this way for
ample and genuine success in the
undertaking, since it is, in a measure,
the pioneer effort made in this terri
tory.
BOOTH COMPANY FAIL
URE NOT FELT HERE
MANAGER FREDERICK BARK
ER ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF
ORDERS THAT LOCAL
BUSINESS BE CON
DUCTED AS
USUAL.
The reported failure of the well
known fish house of A. Booth Com
pany, of Chicago, with branch offices
and plants over the country, including
a tine cannery and docks in this city,
was read with astonishment and re
gret in this city yesterday, since the
general public had no knowledge of
any conditions that predicated such a
business issue.
As soon as possible a reporter for
the Astorian called on Manager Fred
erick Barker for the company in this
city and asked for a statement in re
lation to the matter, to which request
Mr. Barker complied by handing over
a telegram, just then at hand, from
F. R. Robbins, of Chicago, treasurer
of The A. Booth Company, and one
of its largest stockholders, to the fol
lowing effect: ,
"Continue business, as usual, under
receiver's name. Ample funds will be
furnished immediately for the con
duct ofthe business;" which, Mr.
Barker thought, and rightly, was am
ple answer to the query propounded.
He said also that the status of the
Astoria house was on the credit side
of aft its balances, owing no one and
its current obligations entirely ad
justed including fishermen and all
help, a state of affairs he was glad to
report to his own people as well as to
Astoria friends.
GERMAN MANEUVERS OVER.
ST. JOIIANN ON THE SAAR.
Sept. - 11. The Autumn imperial
army maneuvers held this year in Al
sace-Lorraine came to an end this
afternoon. Emperor William has ex
pressed himself as highly gratified by
the work done by both sides.
The main object of imperial maneu
vers is instructional rather than prac
tical. The authorities really attach
as much importance to the effect that
these operations on a gigantic scale
have upon the populace as to the ex
perience gained by the soldiers them
selves, ,

The common council last night met
only to adjourn. The principal object
of the session was to receive the final
report of the charter amendment com
mittce on the bulkhead matter, and
inasmuch as it developed that the
amendment was not mute ready to
leave the hands of the attorneys the
session adjourned, to meet again in
regular meeting on Monday week,
That this delay will be viewed as
not an unmixed evil will probably be
the thought of many. Hard as have the
members of the committee worked on
the provisions of the bill, and natur
ally anxious as they are to advance
their work, nevertheless this delay
will give many a chance to look into
the completed measure and learn
really what it
At the meeting Thursday night it
was constantly urged that the matter
be at least delayed for a time.
WILL WED HIS NURSE.
Aged California Physician Thui Ex
pects To Repay Young Woman.
LOS ANGELES, Sept, 11
Brought to death's door by the ex
citement incident to a court trial in
connection with land frauds in Ore
gon, Dr. David M. Goodwin, 75 years
old, a long time resident of this city,
is determined to wed Miss Mary A.
King, his faithful friend and nurse.
Miss King obtained a marriage license
at the courthouse yesterday. She sta
ted that the marriage was the urgent
wish of the aged physician, who was
believed to be near death.
Miss King was very reluctant to
discuss her approaching marriage with
the aged physician, but she admitted
that the wedding would take place as
soon as Dr. Goodwin rallied from an
unusually severe' spasm of pain. She
refused to state the time at which
the marriage would occur, claiming
that it depended upon the instructions
from his physician.
Friends of the old doctor say that
his wish to marry the woman who has
been his constant attendant is for the
purpose of leaving her what remains
of his once large fortune. He is said
to have lost a fortune in the failure
of the .California Box & Lumber Com
pany, several of whose officers were
indirectly implicated in the Oregon
land frauds.
FINGER PRINTS INSUFFICIENT.
One Judge Deems This Method Of
Identification Not Conclusive.
NEW YORK, Sept. ll.-The finger
print method of identification by
which the police have been cataloguing
their women prisoners lately failed to
satisfy Magistrate Corrigan in the
night court last night. A woman who
gave her name as May Curtis was ar
rested as a disorderly person, Detec
tive "Watson declared that she was
the same woman who had been twice
arrested last June under the names of
Maud Allen and Rose Allen. He show
ed a record of linger prints.
Magistrate Corrigan squinted at the
papers under the magnifying glass.
'They lookalikc," he said, "but they
have points of difference also to my
mind. These things are not conclu
sive enough for me. I will give her
the benefit of the doubt and place her
on probation."
STOPS THE COINAGE. ,
-
Bankers Find A Fault In The New
$20 Gold Pieces.
San Francisco, Sept. 11. After coin
ing $430,000 in $20 gold pieces of the
latest design, the local mint, acting
under orders of the treasury depart
ment, has stopped work on tne coins
and is awaiting the arrival of new dies
which are expected to correct a fault
discovered by local bankers. With one
ground of complaint eliminated by the
restoration of the "In God We Trust,"
motto, the public has manifested no
hesitation in accepting the new dou
ble eagles, but the bank tellers com
plain that the coins will not stack
in such manner as to be accurately
counted when they are handling both
old and new coins. After several
bank balances had been reported se
riously inaccurate, report of the mat
ter was made to Washington and the
order to stop coining was the result.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Sept. 11,
Armed with t ride, Miss Annie Cop

fired as rapidly as she could into a
group of men who were making a dis

One of the men, the girl declares, fired
at her. She immediately secured a
rifle and returned to do battle. Every
bullet she fired found a mark. As soon
as the two men fell the others fled.
Half an hour later the young woman
was arrested by a deputy sheriff.
