Boyhood Friends Meet
Ben R. Fister, whose home is in the
State of Illinois, is in Astoria as the
guest of L. 0. Belland, the council
man from the Third ward. Mr. Fis
ter and Mr. Belland were boys to
gether in Norway, their old home
rear Stavangcr, and for 26 years they
had not seen each other. Naturally,
both gentlemen were glad to meet
again after all the years of separation.
Mr. Fister is a contractor and builder
and had occasion to come West, and
as a part of his trip made U an
especial point to come to Astoria to
sec Mr. Belland. Yesterday Mr. Bel
land showed his guest about the city
and introduced him to friends, and
more than that, is trying to prevail
upon Mr. Fister to come to Astoria
and seftle down.
Until High Noon Today f
Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy announced
last evening that the tax books would
be kept open at his office today until
the hour of high noon, for the pay
ment of the second half of the taxes
now due, owing to the necessity im
posed upon him for making due entry
of the taxes paid by mail, and until
the morning mail is opened up and
noted, which will take until that
hour, those who have failed" to ante
may save themselves from the costly
delinquency of failure to pay. It is
not the best part of good citizenship
to ignore the notices sent out by the
Sheriff's office force on the 10th of
last month to each and every taxpay
er in the county, and wait until the
last instant of the. delinquency hour
to pay up. The crush at that office
was something vast yesterday and the
sum collected was imposing, but has
not yet been figured up.

saw a cow passing along one of the
thoroughfare followed by a five
leggcd calf. The gentleman from
Astoria looked long and hard at the
freak and unconsciously counted up
the several drinks he had had the
night before. But to make sure he
wa on the right side of the danger
line, went out to the little beast and
examined it closely. The fifth leg was
attached to the loose skin of the ani
mal's neck and swung about like a
fluttering ribbon, useless as a fifth
wheel, and its hoof was overstocked by
one, with toes. It was following its
mother placidly enough, and did not
appear to realize, what an extraordi
nary cowlct it was. It finally passed
into a farmer's barn and the wonder
ing Astorian made notes of the, dis
covery in his pocketbook in order to
escape any undue accusations when he
crossed the bay, homeward-bound.
Home-Coming Astorians
Yesterday morning almost the first
people to descend the gangway from
the steamship Rose City were Hon.
and Mrs. Isaac Bergman, who for the
past month have been sojourning
with friends at San Francisco. Both
were well and very pleased to get
home again. They report a delight
ful time in the Bay City, and neither
were sea-sick, either way, though they
tried hard to be. Mr. and Mrs. Berg
man are just good enough Astorians
to aver that with all the pleasure they
fell heir to abroad, with all the
charms that San Francisco had to
bffer in the way of endless hospitality
and splendid entertainment, there is
no place like little old Astoria.
Frank Patton has just come back
from a week's outing in "old Marion,"
where with his friend, J. H. Walker,
of Oregon Cit, he has been hunting
pheasants for nearly a week, and he
reports a delightful outing and the
legal outing and the legal measure of
game birds to the credit of his gun.
He cannot say enough for the charm
ing hospitality of the good people up
that way. Ex-Senator John H.
Smith and his brother "Tone" are
also back from their outing up the
Willamette Valley and they are both
ready to swear to the cleverness of
the kindly denizens up there. The
senator says they almost forgot the
pheasants in the enjoyment of the
constant overtures made them by
their old friends up that way. There
were three in the hunting party, all
shooting over the same dog, and the
rivalry begot a despatch in the shoot
ing that was merciful in the extreme
to the birds, as all three failed to
compass the limit accorded by law to
one person.

WILL RENEW AND ADVANCE
PIPE LINE-BIDS ON RES
ERVOIR ALL REJECTED.
The Astoria Water Commission has
rejected all bids filed with it for the
construction of the new 20,000,000
gallon reservoir, and that particular
enterprise is in abeyance, while an
other has come to the front of equal,
if not greater importance, that of re
building, in part, the water conduits
from the source of supply, and per
haps, adding three mils more of pipe
line. .There are, as present from 10
to 12 miles of pipe-line, two-thirds of
which are of wooden casing, the other
third being of metal, and the idea is
to rebuild the system entirely of
steel, and carry the pipe to a point
above the present intake about three
miles, whereby an additional supply
of nearly a million gallons per day
will be added to the city's water en
dowment. These facts were gleaned yesterday
from a prominent member of the
Water Commission and are strictly in
line with the present purposes of the
boaTd, since an order has been made
and given to Engineer Kelly to per
fect and present plans, specifications
and estimates covering the whole pro
posed improvement, and bids will be
called for in due course. According
to this gentleman, the policy of per
fecting the conduit is taken to super
cede that of amending the storage,
since to keep "the horse before the
cart," it is essential to have something
to store before accommodations are
made for that end of the service On
the new line it is proposed to5 Estab
lish a gateway reservoir of say, 100,
000 gallons, which will be used to feed
the high-service of the city; auf to
hold in readiness, for other emergen
cies as they may arise.-, V:.. ; ?i iv
Both the big projects, conduit and
reservoir, are peculiarly ., necessitous,
and will have to be met without much
more delay, as the present wooden
sections of the pipe-line will not last
more than two years, it they do that
and the question of additional storage
has been pertinent and necessary for
sometime past. Engineer Kelly will
go to work at once on the new calcu
lations and make a detailed report; at
the earliest possible moment,' -" ;
Another matter that is figuring in
the varied and vexatious problem of
the Water Commission is the fact
that an amendment is to be submit
ted to the people at the December
election whereby the public monies
of the city are to be merged into one
common fund, the general fund, and
the board is naturally anxious to as

certain before it proceeds much farth
er with its work, whether the reven
ues of the water system are to be
included in that wholesale fund and
are to be amenable to the payment of
all manner of civic obligations along
with the contracted monies of the
water office. It is a nice question,
and the people may not weigh the
situation quite as closely as the board
does, and give the authority sought;
which may, in the outcome, prove a
very dangerous innovation.

ASTORIA THEATRE OCT. 1L
It is understood that the dramatic
roster of the new Klimt & Gazzolo
spectacular melodrama, "The Four
Corners of the Earth," is certainly
remarkable in point of numbers and
artistic ability and of the play; it has
features of interest for the popular
and the most artistically exacting
tastes as well. Over fourteen mas.we
scenic mountains are presented 'kn&
the plot takes the audience for a triji
that is exciting, lengthy and interest
ing. En route many hits of bright
comedy and catchy music acts as a
relief to the more serious portions of
the play. "The Four Corners of the
Earth" is rather an innovation in
melo-drama. ',
