The electric light circuit in Uppcriowij was shut off as a mult of the trouble with the connections, and other minor troubles were' re ported in ,9thcr parts of the city.

Today the, city treasurer will call in the outstanding warrants to this' amount, and while those who hold the warrants enume rated in the call are not absolutely required to present them to the city treasurer for payment at once, it seems the part of wisdom to do so as interest stops after the call is made."''""' :.v;vl!'.,":;' ' " The jubilee Singers : For two long hours next Saturday evening Watkin's Tennessee Jnbilec Singers will delight an Astoria au dience at the Astoria opera house.

' ' '; . . '. Preparing For The Rains : Superintendent of Streets Kearney has a force of men at work cleaning out the gutters and drains all over the city, 'In preparation for the rainy season. During the summer the drains and gutters naturally become more or less stuffed up with leaves, papers, and f other refuse material, and as a result when the first heavy rains come there is apt to be trouble. Yesterday Mr. Kearney was hopeful that the rain that had set in would not prove heavy enough to cause any bad trouble. It will take about a week to get all the gutters and drains properly, cleaned .out. !t Has Resumed Work Accident will sometimes interfere with a man's work, while at other times pure carelessness is to blame. In one of these classes might be named one L. C.

Will Meet Thursday The special meeting of the, Stock holders and members of the Athletic Club called for at the Circuit Court room last night, adjourned without having taken any formal action. The attendance was comparatively light, both because of the inclement weath er and because of an erroneous an nouncement that the gathering was not to be until tonight Thursday night the meeting will again be 'held, and, it is urged that on that night every stockholder and members, be present. It is hoped to have the building ready for 'occupancy soon, and a meeting is first necessary to pass upon several important matters. These matters' will be acted upon Thursday night without fail. Girls' Basketball Team While the boys of the Astoria high school are interesting them selves in football, and have an excel lent team in the field under the man agement of Lawrence Rogers, . the high school girls are also preparing to take up athletics.

Principal Imcl will : coach the girls until they get well started, and they have already sent off for the baskets and basket balls, Uaskct ba',3 has proven a favorite game for both boys and girls all over the country, and it is a sport that requires much skill as well as "wind" and physical strength; Still it is not too strenu ous for girls, many of whom become highly proficient players. Later, af ter the football season is over, it is expected the boys will also take up basket ball. , Striving To Get Home ' After nearly 24 days of illness, from which he has suffered intense ly, Edward F. Coopcrfi of Dubuque, Iowa, reached this city yesterday by team from the Nehalcm, where for three weeks hes has lain at the hos pitable home of Mr. Rierson, the well known rancher, prostrated with hemorrhages of the stomach, from which he ' suffered all a man could well bear. , His condition became steadily worse, and trained nurses were dispatched to bring him to As toria and place him in the hospital, or if he were well enough to send him on to Portland where he has friends and kinsmen. The trip was a great trial to him, and the ladies took faithful care of htm en route; but they all made it successfully at high noon yesterday, and everything was done for him that skill and good will could suggest until the evening train left up when he was made very comfortable and went on to his friends. Mr. Cooper was one of the party of elk hunters that were d6wn in the Nehalem some weeks ago. Always At Home Here . , " Hon. John Minto, of Salem, and Astoria, and Portland, and all Ore gon, is in the city for a few days; and as always he comes not only to greet the host of old time friends he pos sesses down this way, but to gather' definite and valuable information touching the resources and develop ment of the State and to add to his far-reaching information of its natur al histry. He is now engaged in com puting the flow of the Columbia river at its contact with the Pacific and, its relation to the expansion and, effect of the irrigation projects afoot with in its basin. The maximum flow he has ascertained Ho be 1,600,000 horse uowef per second, and he want? to know the minimum flow and will be glad to have expert figures from any source whatever. He may be ad dressed at Salem. ; : Uncle John Minto, who was in As toria when it was Fort George, cele brated his 86th birthday on Sunday, and he is one of the youngest "kids" iri Oregon who can vote.

Many enquiries are daily made, in relation to the new wards, and it may be a good plan for those interested to make a note of the boundaries as herein given. ; Signed the Ordinance , - ? , Mayor Wise yesterday signed, the ordinance granting a final payment to Contractor Goodin for the work performed on the Irving avenue im provement. Mr. Goodin's contract was in the neighborhood of $18,000 and he has received all of that sum less approximately $1936. At a meet ing of the streets committee, the Mayor and the city engineer, the whole matter of the Irving slide was talked over, and it seemed to be the opinion that the slide could be bridg ed over and the improvement thus completed at a cost not greatly ex ceeding this sum of $1936. However the question must first be definitely ascertained as to the advisability of trying to complete the improvement by constructing a bridge over the bad place; the proceedings, as re gards the1 taxpayers who are to pay for the whole cost, might possibly be invalidated by thus changing the plans and specifications of the con tract, it is thought, and hence this matter has been turned over to the city attorney for an opinion. Appar ently, however, a change as material as this proposed one, and not dissi milar, was made in the West Com mercial street improvement where a new bulkhead is to be put in against Mr. Hahn's property, and a new as sessment made. Between a new bulk head and a new bridge there seems little or ntf difference in principle. Meantime the Irving 'avenue slide matter will be permitted to await the action of the winter rains.

Feralnd not only caught the outgoing mes sage from the California coast, but distinctly heard and registered the responses of the Hawaiian agent. Mr. Isobel , said in the course , of his communication, . "I am using the small aerial to send on but the larger one to receive with," and this came strong to the Smith Point station. Isobel continued, "I am employing only 'half juice,' and I wart you to look out for me ev;ry night about this time." Fernald also heard the Hilo man, tell San Francisco that he ('at Hilo) had once heard "the steam ship Victoria, bound - from Seattle for Nome, Alaska, calling the U. S. battleship, Colorado than in Bering Sea." These "2400-mile and longer calls, Mr. Ferland believes to be the mod ern limit of the service, to date, at least, though nothing in the way of distance will ever surprise him in the way of more extraordinary reaches, land however and no one considers a He says that during the "take" was visit tothe metroplis complete wi:i making on the Island message, the ut seeing this great stock organiaa- Farrallone Island station, off San Francisco, butted in with the cheery message, 'Good work, old man, keep it up!"
