Flocking To Tillamook
The good news of the resumption
of work on the Lytle Road is drawing
a strong contingent of idlers from all
over Northwestern Oregon, many go
ing in via this city both by land and
sea, while many are striking for the
railway front through the Nchalcm
country, which, by the way is con- (
sidered the real trick to do as those

To Try, Try Again
A. L. Clark, city superintendent of
schools, naiil la-t evening that a dozen
or more of the pupils who had failed
in their examinations, or who had
been conditioned In one or more of
their studies, appeared yesterday and
expressed their desire to take the ex
aminations again. Mr. Clark said he
would probably commence the tent
on Thursday, and they will be held in
some one of the school buildings.
Summer About Over '
That the summer months have
passed is indicated not only by the
bracing weather of the past few days,
out by the change of advertisement
of one of the catering stores that
appears in the Antorian today. "We
arc nw crving hot drinks," the ad
reads, and those who are afraid of the
chills after eating ice cream may now
get something hot. Because of the
late Spring many people are prognos
ticating a late and a beautiful Autumn.
At The State Fair
A goodly number of Astoria peo
ple have already gone to Salem to
the State Fair and others are plan
ning to visit this annual attraction. It
is said that the fair this year is a
good one. Clatsop's exhibits are in
charge of C. S. Dow, and while the
showing Is not a large one, it never
theless is 6ne of which the county
need not be afraid to compare with
others. Herman Ahlers, the bee man
from the Necanicum district, is at the
Fair making exhibits of bees and how
to handle them.
Deba Cannot Come
Inquiry made yesterday afternoon
of the labor leaders in this city indi
cates that, despite the earnest efforts
made by them to have the great
champion and presidential candidate,
Eugene V. Debs, now at Fortland, to
come to Astoria, but denial is made
only because of the imperative sched
ule that has been laid out for him, and
which cannot be departed from. He
is said to have had an immense meet
ing and reception in the Oregon me
tropolis, over 10,000 people listening
to hii address.

Mayor Investigating
Mayor Wise yesterday signed all
the ordinances passed at the lat
meeting of the common council ex
cept the one pertaining to improve'
ments on Forty-sixth street. That or
dinance he will withhold until he hat
made a thorough investigation of the
meriti of a remonstrance made by
property owners along the thorough'
fare. Accompanied by the city engi
neer and others,' the Mayor yesterday
made a personal examination of the
utreet and listened to the objections
made by the people along the street.
On The Water Wagon
Police Officer , Thompson ha re
turned from his two weeks' vacation
and Dan Belcher, who has been tak
ing his place under appointment by
the police commissioners, will return
to his former job as driver of the
water wateron, and generally at team
etcr for the city. It is understood the
commissioners wixhed to have Mr.
Belcher continue to act on the force
for another month, but he was not
very anxious to do so. That he made
a good officer white on is demon
strated by the record of cases he has
had in the police court.
Looking For New Rate
Electrical Inspector W, A. New
man, representing the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific, at Port
land, was in the city yesterday, on a
business errand, presumably in rela
tion with the mill Tire of Sunday last
The hope is abroad that Astoria is
not to have anothers arise in rates
just because some company has lost
$4,000 thereby; which, by the way, is
not so far-fetched a proposition as
some may think; the most curaory
review of the existing sched
ules will justify pretty nearly any
conclusion in this behalf.
A Slight Discrepancy
Several days ago a party of Astor
ians arrived in Portland in their
mi to and the Portland papers con
tained glowing accounts of the auto
trip from Astoria to the metropolis.
But one of the members of the party,
Mr. George W. Sanborn, lost his
pocketbook and yesterday an account
of its recovery was also announced in
the Orcgonian. It was found by
Frank May, a farmer at Canby, and
in it was a freight receipt showing
that one automobile had been shipped
by steamer to St. Helens. Perhaps
the Portlanders may believe it isn't
quite fair to make the trip partly by
water.
Away On Vacation
Police Officer Hanson is away on a
vacation of two weeks and last night
Patrolman Wilson met the night train
in his place. So accustomed are the
people who go to the train at night
to see the familiar figure of Patrol
man Hanson that his absence was at
once noticed. With the absence of
one of the men on vacation, and the,
resignation of Chief Gammal the
force is short two men, and it is
probable that another patrolman will
be appointed in the event that the
ne- chief is selected from among the
officers of the forc6. Patrolman
Thompson was on duty again last
night after his two w-eks' vacation.
Road To Chautaqua
Announcement is made that the
men back of the Clatsop Beach
Chautaqua will ask the county court
to construct a road through the
Chautaqua site to the' beach in the
same manner that a thoroughfare was
built to the beach at Delaura. That
such a road will be requiredwhen the
association begins its summer meet
ings is a foregone conclusion, and it
seems evident that one will have to
be ' constructed as asked for sooner
or later. The Chamber of Commerce
has been asked to lend its good offices
in the matter and will probably do all
it can to help the entire Chautaqua
matters along in any way it consist
ently can. Architects are now at
work preparing the plans for the
buildings on the grounds, including a
hotel, auditorium and bath house.
Orchestra For Astoria Theatre
Manager Hanlin of the Astoria
theatre announces-that he has secur
ed the services of the Imperial or
chestra to play all the coming attrac
tions this season at his house. This
bit of information will be gladly re-

ceived by the many patrons of the
theatre, as the lack of music, the kind
that should go with a first-class houe
such as the Astoria, has been greatly
felt ever nince the house has been
built, Mr, lfanlin'i booking sheet for
this season shows a very good selec
tion of attractions among them being
many of leading and latest New York
productions, and with the additional
inducement of good music, by a first
class orchestra between acts the As
toria theatre will be a popular place
of amusement and will no doubt be
well patronized at all the engage
ments. -
By Private Contract
Recently there have been a number
of petitions presented to the common
council atking that property owners
be granted permission to improve
certain portions of streets by private
contract! and this ' permission has
been granted. Yesterday two petitions
of this nature were filed with the city
auditor, Mr. Anderson. One was from
Ann E. Hanson, by H. C. Hanson,
asking permission to grade that por
tion of Tenth street and that portion
of Lexington avenue which abut on
lots 7 and 8 of block 137, McClure's,
and that the petitioner be exempted
from assessments when the city shall
order the rest of the improvement.
Th other petition was from F. L,
Parker and William B. Chase, asking
permission to lay cement sidewalks
and to curb and gutter that portion
of Irving avenue abutting on lot 12
of block 20, Shivels. These petitions
will be acted upon by the council in
due course.
The Dead la Alive
Early in the year 1907 an accident
happened on the Flavcl pier, down on
the West Side, iinwhich a young mar
ried man by the name of George Hor
ton was supposed to have lost his life
by drowning and his family mourned
him sincerely. He carried a life in
surance policy for the sum of $1000
with the Knights of the Maccabees
and his widow sought earnestly to
recover it but failed because of the
fact that his body was never found, a
pre-requisite absolutely demanded
in all their adjustments, , and
the matter was dropped , for
want of a predicate upon which to
press it further. It is now claimed
that the man was never drowned nor
even hurt, at the time, but took the
means at hand to leave the country,
presumably on this errand of. collec
tions, and went as far as Virginia,
gradually working his way back to
the coast, and is reported as dwelling
in this county, in, or near, Seaside.
His family is still domiciled at War
renton. Here From Canada
Mr. and Mrs. Antone Bartness,
who have been in correspondence
with the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce for a year or more, arrived in
the city yesterday from their home in
the territory of Saskatchewan, Cana
da. They are out looking over some
fartw'ng lands and expect to remain in
this vicinity. While there have been
many settlers enter upon the Canad
ian lands of late years many of them
find it too cold to remain long, and
doubtless it would not prove a dif
ficult thing to get some of them to
locate here. Astoria people laugh and
talk abut the rains here during the
winter months, but how incomparably
better the rain is than a winter whose
temperatures frequently go as low as
50, 60 and even 70 degrees below zero
can probably best be understood only
by those who have experienced both.
Mr. and Mrs. Bartness hope to find a
location near to the city, or at least

Shocking Report Abated
Just before noon yesterday, in this
city, a stratling rumor was afloat that
the genial master of the O. R. & N.
steamer Hassalo, Captain John An
derson, had succumbed to a sharp
stroke of paralysis on the way back
to the metropolis and was then dead
at his Portland home. The nature of
the report caused instant inquiry here,
and it was found that, while Captain
Anderson, had bene strickn with some
overpowering ailment on his way
back to Portland, and was a very sick
man, he was yet alive and with fair
prospect of recovery; all of which
brought a sense of relief to hundreds
here who know and thoroughly ap
preciate him as a man and officer. It
seems he was overtaken with the
trouble, suddenly, on Sunday after
noon, while in this xity, and was car
ried to his stateroom where he was
treated professionally to a point of
relief, and rallied so that he felt able
to take his trick at the wheel on the
way up the river on Monday, but
again collapsed, and the steamer was
hastened into port and he was taken
to his home, where he is still a very
sick man, yet not desperately so. It
will be be good news to many to
know that he has passed all danger
points and regained his hearty and
healthful status. The trouble has not
been clearly defined, but is thought to
be of a paralytic nature.

GOOD SHOW TONIGHT.
"The Missouri Girl" at the Astoria
Theatre Will Probably be a
Dramatic Treat.
The queer, comical characters seen
in "The Missouri Girl" are true to
life, and anyons who has visited
Southern Missouri will recognize them
at a glance. The spescialties intro
duced are, for the most part, such as
are seen in the backwoods part of the
state.
This play has no superior and few
equals as an entertainer, because it
contains all the elements that go to
make up a pleasing performance.
The production has broken records
for large business in more than two
thirds of .the theatres, played in the
past 10 years, and this mostly in re
turn dates. This should be a guaran
tee that the show is "all right."
A good play with a good strong
plot and an unusual amount of rich
comedy interpreted by a clever lot of ,
people is what will be seen when "The
Missouri Girl appears at the Astoria
theatre tonight.
