Got Back Alive
General Agent C. B. Johnson, of
the A. & C.,1ia returned from a two
day hobnob with the 2S0 traveling
passenger agents that have had Port
land and the upper Columbia valley in
their posession for several days, and
was able to take his desk over yes
terday morning. He reports a splen
did time and say the T. P. A. arc as
bright a set as he ever went against,
especially when they have things all
their own way, as they have in this
instance a condition no one, from
Portland to The Dalles, seemed to
think of 'questioning, let alone deny
ing. ' .. ' '
Theater Go Jed
' The 'Automatic Theater, the little
moving picture place on the north
hide of Commercial street near Four
teenth, was closed last night, and, ac
cording to Sheriff M. A. Pomeroy, it
was closed by him on an attachment
sued by Charles J. Bcrtleson. The
proprietor of the Automatic is H.
Gustavcson, a young Astoria man.
The attachment suit is said to be for
a small sum of money which Bcrtle
son had loaned to him to aid in car
rying on the enterprise. The location
of the enterprise wa not of the very
bet, and apparently the receipts have
consequently been small. Whether
Mr. Gustavcson will try to continue
in business is not known.
An Excellent Concert ,
The National Hall was crowded
last night at the concert given by
Mile. Sigrid Westerlind, and the au
dience was captivated by the beautiful
voice of the singer. 'Mile. Wester
lind sang in both Swedish and Eng
lish and the encores were many, there
being eight or nine encores during
the evening. Miss Ester Sundquist,
the Astoria young lady whose beau
tiful renderings on the violin have
already attracted attention, gave sev
eral violin selections during the con
cert. Mile. Westerlind's voice was
pronounced splendid. Mrs. Charles
H. Abcrcrombie assisted Mile. Wes
terlind and added additional laurels
to her reputation as a musician.
Eighth Grade Exams
Eighth grade examinations, in ac
cordance with a plan carried on' all
over the State, were held in four of
the districts in the county lastweek
in the Albert, Melville, Hammond
and Seaside districts. Pupils who
pass these examinations may enter
the accredited high schools without
further examinations. The papers in
the tests held in these fo.itr districts
have been sent to Miss Warren, the
supeeintendent, and she will appoint
an examining board to pass upon
them. There were ten pupils tried,
and later the names of those who
took the examinations With success
will be published. , Those who pass
are then entitled to enter the Astoria
high school, though apparently the
question oftuition under the new law
is not quite clear.

yesterday of a big business meeting
of the Clatsop Plains Farmers' Tele

GRAND JURY MUST BE
CALLED BY JUDGE
VET THERE SEEMS LITTLE TO
PRESENT FOR CONSIDERA
TION, IT IS SAID
In accun ai,cc with the new law,
one of the firM acts of Judge McBride
after coping the September term of
the. circuit court tomorrow will be
to make the drawing for a grand
jury.
The calling of a grand jury is im
perative under the new law, but
whether there will be must to pre
sent for its consideration is not yet
known. ' ' '?;' '-.. .' "
There will be a few. minor criminal
cases for its members to consider, and
as the matter is understood it is like
ly the fisheries cases will also go be
fore the jury. "
As far as is known there is no
movement in the city to call the at
tention of any particular thing to the
grand jury, unless the same man who
wrote the anonymous letter to the
county court steps forward and docs
some talking on his own account.
This anonymous contribution simply
stated that the accounts of the county
caurt would b placed before the
grand jury, though this matter seems
to be .more or less of a joke. While
the court is supposed to open tomor
row morning it is prbable that it will
be afternoon before Judge McBride
is prepared to commence proceed
ings. He is expected to arrive on the
noon train tomorrow.
After the drawing for, a grand jury
the judge will appoint a foreman and
will give hisinstructions.
, While it is known that there is
some gambling going on in Astoria,
and that there is an almost open vio
lation of the Sunday closing law, yet
unless interested persons make a de
mand for an investigation it is hardly
probable that one will be made, it is
said.
As long as the laws are enforced
in a reasonably strict way the ma
jority of the people seem to be fairly
well satisfied. "'.

terest in extending the utilities
through the eounty and in the direc
tion of her farm, which she is im
proving all the time. Warrenton is
the "central" for the system, and it
is being extended daily, to the great
convenience of all concerned down
that way, the service itself being ex
cellently clear and strong over the
wires.
Off For College
The vacation is over, not alone for
the children who attend the public
schools, but also for the young folks
who are attending colleges or uni
versities in other places. Several
have already gone during the past
few days, and tomorrow morning
there will be quite a party go from
here for the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege at Corvallis. In this party will
be Roy E Chambers, Harold Turley.

Lister Kindred.. Will Reith. who
goes from this city, will operate the
milking machine for the experimental
station.
REPUBLICANS MEET
(Continued from page 1)
only the slightest interest in politics
and that very few of them have any
active or intelligent; interest in the
present campaign, great as is its im
portance. One reason alleged for this
lack cf interest on the part of the
young men in the direct primary
law. ' ! ; :rVK
Attention was called to the corrupt
practice act adopted by the last Leg
Waul re. This prohibits all forms of
biibcry and influencing of votes. All
contributions must be accounted for
with" the county clerk. Laws hedge
iu everything now.
The absolute apathy of the Demo
crats in this city and county was also
mentioned.

were as follows: F. J. Carney, J. C
