Bought a Ranch
Mr. and Mr. Anton Uartnc, who
recently arrived here from Saskatch
ewan, Canada, have purchased a small
place on the Little Walluski River
from the VanDusen really firm. The
tract comprint nearly twelve acre,
b ml the price paid was nearly $olH),
The place is cleared and part of it is
bottom land and part on the fide
hills. Mr. II. G. VanDuten showed
them various place around this sec
tion and they seemed well pleased to
purchase this tract on the Little Wal
luski. It is probable that quite a few
others will noon locate in that par
ticular vicinity, and then it will be
possible to organize a school district.
At the present time there arc some
children from the country districts
who come to the city schools, driving
or walking in several miles, but as
the country settle up the "little red
schcjolhouscs" will be scattered
around the countryside more thickly
than now, Mr. Bartness ha ordered
lumber and expects to build a home
and farm buildings at once.

FISHED ALL SUMMER
WITHOUT LICENSE
TWO SEINERS ARE UNDER AR
REST, BUT OFFER AN UN
USUAL DEFENSE
X.
Two itrests have been made for
alleged violation of the fbhiry laws
that are entirely different from all
the other numerous cases. Tom Tay
lor and Tom Spencer Jiave been ar
rested by W. A. Mack, the water bail
iff and game; and fish warden, on the
charge of operating ,seines without
licenses. Mention of these two cases
was made in these columns several
days ago, but the details of the mat
ter, as gained 'from Mr. Mack last
night, make the matter of consider
able interest.
k Acording to Mr. Mack, these two
men have operated their seines at
the Tongue Point and Cabot grounds
all summer long without licenses
which, if true, seems a peculiarly bold
thing to do. The licenses cost only
$45 each for seines, while the. fine
is from $50 to $500.
The two men, however, set up a
defense as to themselves. They say
that at the commencement of the
season they deposited the, amount of
their licenses with the Grant-Tallant
Company, for whom they were oper
ating, and they aver that it was and
has been their understanding that this
money was applied as intended in se
curing licenses for them. Yet the
fact remains, according to the State
fishery records according to Mr.
Mackthat no licenses were secured
for these men.
Thus it appears that by some error
or inadvertence the men failed to se
'cure their licenses, if it be true that
their money was fianded over to the
company. '
NOT ORIGINAL INTENT
Old Spanish Mines Exploded in New
York Harbor By Authorities
, y
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Three "of
the mines which were put in New
York harbor at the time of the Spanish-American
war and have lain in
the magazine at Fort Wadsworth
ever since they were officially con
demned, have been exploded. This
took place at the Narrows, near the
fort. No boats were allowed to pass
that way at the time, the " places
where the mines were being marked
off by floating targets.
The only evidence the spectators
got from the explosion was about a
thousand stunned fish-fluke, black
fish and flounders which were seen
floating directly, in front of the fort
after the mines had been set off. , The
soldiers got into small boats at once
and every one of them went back to
quarters with, a good catch for Fri
day. One 'soldier" got 200, The de
struction of the mines was conducted
by Captain J. Allen, who is in charge
of the fort troops.

"We, the undersigned Republicans
of Astoria, believing in the principles
of Republicanism, and that the party

A "DEHYDRO" DINNER
Reversion to Seaweed the Next Step
in Food Culture
WAUKESHA, Wis., Sept. 19.
That the process of dehyration may
solve the food problem of the world
when the population shall have ex
ceeded the food productivity of the
earth, by turning the seaweed of the
great , Saggossa Sea into a valuable
food product, was the theory ad
vanced by udge M. S. Griswold at a
"dehydro" banquet given yesterday.
The banquet, which was the first of
the kind ever served in the world,
was prepared by Miss C. A. Lyford,
a domestic science expert' of the State
Normal University at Bloomington,
111. Addresses were made by Louis
Muench, President A. J. Frame, of
the Waukesha National Bank; Dr.
Hugo Phillip, Prof. E. B. Hutchlns,
of Carroll College, and others.

LOUIS LARSON LOSES LEFT
ARM SY EXPLOSION OF A
RIFLE CARTRIDGE
Yesterday afternoon at an early
hour Louis Laron, a cousin of J. C
Ricroon, of the Nchalem, and an em
ploye on that gentleman's farm, ar"
rive'd in this city with his left eye
gone as the result of a bad accident
in the woods near his home on Wed
nesday evening last.
Young Larson, who is but 24 years
of age, was out hunting, and in load
ing his rifle did not securely close the
break, and when the hammer fell the
cartridge exlpodcd through the break
and caught his left eye full with the
charge, knocking that member out
completely. ,
Mr. Larson was game enough to
stand by his post on the" farm even
under the severe stress of the pain,
as there were several smalt children
in his care aside from the home inter
ests, but he was compelled by the
constantly increasing pain and in
flammation to abandon the place to
the custody of the oldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. Rierson, a lad of 16 years,
and seek medical assistance. H
Icame in and visited a physician, who
immediately ordered him to Portland
for treatment, and he left up on the
evening train.
Mr. and Mrs. Rierson were due to
return to this city last evening and
perhaps passed the young man on the
way; at any rate, it is an unhappy
state of affairs for all concerned.
