Pomcroy, the estimate formed by the officers in the matter of the sum of second half taxes paid in on Monday, and up to yesterday noon Will closely approximate the sum of $700, which is pretty good figure in that relation, and the delin fluencies are practically nil.

R. & N. and Callender piers, run ning close together, the foremost one struck a board that had been care lessly, or purposely, left on the track at the very darkest points in that stretch and only by the best of good fortune the car kept the track. Such "a trick as this "should be fer reted out and the. perpetrator pun isnca to the limit, ine cars were loaded with Japanese workmen, with the section foremen on the car in volved in the contact. It was a won dcr that a bad accident did not occur. ..YOU CANT LOOK FOOLISH IN A WISE SUIT.

It is also the intention to make the N. P. connection at Goble every evening, whenever there are Astoria passengers on the N. P. trains. But One Side Told The Orcgonian of yesterday says: "J. Dablcr, of San Francisco, who is connected with the Alaska Packers' Association, arrived from Wrangcl, Alaska, Sunday and registered at the Imperial Hotel. Mr. Bablcr lives for part of the year in the Northern ter ritory. He said with reference to the loss of the bark Star of Bengal, that occurred September 23, that only one side of the story has been told in the newspapers, and that when the hear ing before the inspectors at San Francisco is over there will be some thing brought out that will put a dif ferent face on the cause of the wreck. Just what is to develop in the captain's report of the wreck and the loss of 110 lives Mr. Babler was not at liberty to say. He goes to San Francisco tonight to be present at the hearing." May Cost The City Something One of the Sherman Transfer Com pany's buggy teams was entering the city from the West Side about three o'clock yesterday morning and oil ap proaching the junction of Eighth and Jerome avenue, the horses plunged into an open ditch, one animal falling into it flat on his back, the other strug- ' I.

There are scores of high class factories in these United States where skill and science are striving to produce the BET clothes ever made. BUT after all it is your home merchant who has to be behind every article sold. An inexperienced grocer may allow a box of the finest peaches to spoil. Herman Wise started to work in a cloth house a third of a cen tury ago. There he learned the difference between good cloth and shoddy. ' Since that time, as the ready to wear garments improved from the crude ill fitting sloppy clothes to the masterpieces of today, Mr. Wise has learned where to get the BEST. No man can sell you a stylish all wool suit for a song, but if you really desire good up to the minute togs, you may depend on it WISE has it with the WISE guarantee behind it.

The driver took the free animal to the barn and secured help and lights and another team, returning to the scene of disaster and after two hours' work succeeded in releasing the imprison ed animal There were no lights nor barriers of any sort around the ditch, which is an oversight that may cost the city a pretty penny before the matter is closed. There has been considerable complaint of this sort of neglect and it would be well for far stricter attention to be paid these places of danger. ALEX TAGG Ice Cream 25c. a Qt.

Bondsmen Withdrew Yesterday afternoon it was discov ered by the sheriff that several of the bondsmen who were signatory to the bond in replevin given to release the writ business and property of the Hagar Theatre, were not qualified in aw to appear upon such a bond, in that they did not, with a single ex ecution, own any real estate, which the statutes declare they must pos' sess, in this relation. Ana to save himself from subsequent trouble or the chance of it, Sheriff Pomeroy called off the bond and took charge of the house and property until Mr. Hagar should meet the situation with new and adequate bond. . This he had not dono last evening, and the popular house was closed to its usual throng of patrons. Mr. Hagar will undoubtedly clear the matter today with another bond that shall be above question, and proceed with his business, and allow the suit to recover, the property, brought by Mr. Baker, to run to its farthest legiti mate issue. It is said that a numbar of business men yesterday, evening tendered their personal checks to cov er the sum of risk alleged to- exist, out of sheer friendliness to Mr. Hagar, who lias many friends here, but they were all declined on the score that they did not bear the stamp of legal landed assurance in ....Special Millinery '.Sale;;., f We offer at this early part of the t season the very best of our immense and well selected stock of High Grade t Millinery at greatly reduced prices.
