12 pieces, thoroughly well balanced
and trained to a degree of perfection

that is remarkable considering the
short time given to - it organization
and instruction. The, orchestra will

afternoon the fire department was
Ailed out on an alarm ent in from
the corner of Fourth and Water
streets, where the old story-and-a-half
cottage lately occupied by Mr.
Matton, wa practically destroyed
by the flames. The fire wa certainly
of incendiary origin but jt ha not yet
been traced. At four o'clock there
wa a call out Uniontown way, which
proved to be a burning brush-pile up
on the hills, and one of the firtfboys
discovered the inutility of the run
and passed the word to the oncom
ing department in time to head them
off the long ami tedious ruu.
Astoria Strictly In It
Astoria is to have a symphony or
chestra of thirty piece and people,
the large majority of whom will be
Astoria people. This is now being
organized within, and if, the Astoria
Philharmonic Society, and will prove
a strong and brilliant feature of that
society's future work. The society
met for rehearsal last evening, with
big attendance, at Logan Hall, with
Dr. Emil Enna, its friend and mast;r
spirit, and made fine progress toward
the fulfilment of the second grand
concert, to be given here next month.
Dr. Enna will open his class of 1908
9 in Portland this evening, with a
superb- program to be unfolded by
the Enna Amatuers, as his pupils
there are known.
A Timely Suggestion
Speaking of the proposed con
struction of the new metal pipe line
to serve the water interests of the
city, a well known Astorian yester
day made the timely suggestion that
the Water Commission, instead of
sending away for the mile of steel
pipin icccss'v n the fc! improve
ment, ordain that it shall be built of
cast-iron, and the contracts be limit
ed to the city founderies of, As
toria, each of which could ship in
the pig-iron needed in the premise,
and have the work done at home, by
home labor and home enterprise,
keeping the huge expenditure where
it will do. the most good and demon
strate the efficacy of the fine plants
in this city to handle just such work.
The commission could confer with
the iron-masters of Astoria and as
certain to what scope of manufacture
they could go in the case and then
govern their action so that the bene
fits would fall right here at home.
Searching For Lost Man
The well known Portland detective,
L. C. Hartman, arrived in this city
yesterday in search of definite infor
mation concerning the whereabouts
of a young man by the name of Oren
Launer, Launer worked for the Pa
cific Logging Company, on Deep
River in April last, and left there
during the latter part of April last
for this city with the intention of
coming to Portland to meet friends.
He has never been heard of since
then, and there is urgent call for in
formation concerning him, as there is
an estate in Indiana, where his family
resides, and where his father died
since the young man's disappearance.
Launer was 21 years of age; five feet
and fve inches in height; weighed
140 po'mds, and had brown hair and
a light complexion. Anyone knowing
of the man will confer a favor upon
his family and upon Mr. Hartman,
by advising the latter gentlemen at
his Portland office at rooms S03-4-S,
Swetland building, Portland.

Pictures of Olympic Games
Only one who is interested in ath
letics and who ha followed up the
recent international, meet at the Lon
don Stadium, where he champions
from all the world gathered in con
test, can get a splendid idea of the
meet, by attending the Grand moving
picture house this week. Manager
Shorty, of this cozy little playhouse,
has secured this film which is meet
ing with great success. The picture
opens with a parade of all the ath
letes which is followed up by scenes
of the various events such as pole
vaulting, parallel bar, horizontal bar
exercises, high diving, water polo,
; the famous swimming race, and sev
eral of the other events of the great
meeting. The pictures are, all very
clear and the subject is one .of the
most interesting every brought to
this city. In addition to this film
there are other good subjects, among
them one called "A Case of Arson"
which is highly colored, and intensely
intcrtaining. "The Gool'Ohi ' U. S.
A." is the song which is accompanied
by good slides of a patriotic nature.
The program is far above the average
and the Grand Theatre is, enjoying a
good business which it justly de
serves. '' '

R DOGGY OUST GO
JJTO EXILE ft'OlV
NEIGHBORS COMULAIN TO PO-
MAS-
TER STANDS BY HIM.
There is a discrepancy in the aver
ments in relation to the dog owned
by Thomas Nelson, one of the fore
men employed by the Packers' Asso
ciation, whose home is away up on
Sixth street, on the heights.
At least four different people have
told the police that this dog is
vicious that he delights to bark
and bite. . ''
"Why," he' just the nicest kind of
a dog," said Mr. Nelson yesterday.
"He wouldn't bite anybody."
Mr. Nelson called at the office of
the police judge yesterday afternoon
to talk about the dog.
"You sec, it's this way," said Chief
Oberg, who is an interested party to
the question of the dog' disposition.
"You say Jie won't bite. The neigh
bors up there keep bothering us with
complaints about him. They say he
must be killed."
But Mr. Nelson kept on insisting
that the dog is a good, kindly dog,
and that he won't bit anybody, and
he averred that there is an unfriendly
animus back of the complaints. He
refused to admit that the dog ought
to be killed and stood up for his pet
right manfully. At last it was agreed
that even if the neighbors who com
plain are prejudiced as the result of
a neighborhood quarrel, that never
theless there will never be quiet until
the animal is disposed of, and Mr.
Nelson said he would try to find
some good place for his dog across
the river. At all events he won ad
miration from the few who heard
him stand up for his dog, for while
he was willing to find a new home
for him in the effort to appease he
neighborhood quarrel, still he was
apparently prepared to .fight the mat
ter through to a bitter end, rather
than have the animal killed. It is
expected that the trouble will be end
ed by the dog being taken away. It
lis hinted that the matter has bees
aggravated mostly by the feminine
portion of the neighborhood.
AMUSEMENTS
Appearance is everything.
' You cannot help but be impressed
by the apjiearaffce of Richards &
Pringle's Famous Minstrels when
they play your city. No old hand
me down worn out faded wardrobe,
sloppy slip-shod parade. But. the
best material that money can buy,
built by the best tailors in the land.
And the deportment of these tal
ented colored boys calls for more
than passing comment in every city
they visit, and they play all , the
principal ones in the land.
The performance given by this
company, unlike that of many of
their white competitors, is strictly
clean and refined. Not a suggestive
Word, song, joke or action can find
place in their program. Xnat is prob
ably the reason they always draw
such large bouses.
Ask any minstrel manager the com
petitor he most , fears in a business
fight and he will answer without
hesitation, Richards & Pringle's.
This company travels in their own
palace cars and numbers forty.
The date of their appearance at the
Astoria Theatre is next" Saturday ma
tinee and night, . .
SUNDAY NIGHT.
"The Four Corners of the Earth"
is the title of the new Klimt & Gaz-
zolo spectacular melo-drama, and
New York. Africa, Asia and, San
Francisco are touched during the ac
tion of the play. The chase which is
supposed to cover thousands of mile,
stars in National City, Southern Cal
ifornia, near the border line of Mex
ico, and takes the hero, Jack Mor
ton, through many climates and
thrilling adventures that keeps the
audience on tip-toe throughout the
presentation of the play.

ATHLETIC CLU
! READY I'M, 1
COMMITTEE WILL MAXE AC
; TIVE CANVAS3 TO SELL
; REST OF THE STOCK. -
At the meeting of the A. A. A, A.
in the Chamber of Commerce last
night the whole project of the asso-'
ciation wa talked over,' -and way
and means discussed for carrying oa
the club after it is started. Anonuce
ment is made that the new club house
at Duane and Eleventh street will be
in readiness for occupancy by the
first day of November. G. C, Fulton,
the recently elected president of the
association, was called out of the
city last evening and his absence at
the meeting was felt in various wayt,
as he was depended upon to suggest
plans to carry certain things through.
' The next thing is to prepare plana
for the financing of ihe new organiza
tion, and this is to be taken up with
vigor. It is hoped to start out with
a membership virtually large enough
so that the monthly dues will meet
the monthly expenses. Thus far there
has not been any active campaign
carried on to sell the bonds of the
association, though a considerable
portion of the capital stock has been
already placed. But it is desired that
all of the stock be taken as soon as
possible. It is said the investment it
sure. Hence, the father of a- boy who
grants to get into the new club, and
all other citizens who feel an interest
in helping the athletic club get a
proper start, might' do a fine thing by
taking a little of the stock.
' Mr. Fulton, the president, was au
thorized at the meeting last night to
appoint a committee to make a can
vass for the sale of the stock, and it
is hoped that the responses will be
liberal and prompt
"I think the plan of an athletic club
is a most , excellent one," said Mayor
Wise last night, after the meeting.
"What would our boys do without a
place to go to? Such a place is an
absolute necessity for Astoria, and it
will be a fine thing when it is started
and running well."
ARE DRIVEN OUT OF
THE METROPOLIS
A FEW OF PORTLAND'S "UN
DESIRABLE" DENIZENS ,
COME TO ASTORIA.
Astoria might have a few more
"thank you's" for Portland if the lat
ter city would keep her "undesirable
denizens at home. As a result of
the moral wave, or moral "spasm,"
the scarlet women are having a hard
time of it up there. All must leave
town. They simply must go, declare
some of the holier than thou's of the
metropolis.
Several of the women have already
arrived in Astoria, flying here as a
haven of refuge. Perhaps 10 or IS
have come, at the outside, though
one public declaration has been made
that "87" are here.
But these women of the submerged
world aren't being welcomed in any
respect. The sound of the music
halls is. stilled, the revelries by night
are a thing of the past, and every
second place in the local red-light
district has a to-let sign out. ,
Chinook and Ilwaco. i
The launch Hulda I. will leave on
the tide, Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, two round trips, for
Chinook. Landing at Lurline dock
for freight and passengers. Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, for Ilwaco,
