It seems probable that "something will hap pen" there before the heavy winter rains are over, though thus far the wet wcatcr has not caused any marked movement in the big mass of moving ground.

Off For Germany , Carl Miller, of Qlney, one of Clat sop's hardy young citixens, left yes terday for his old home in Germany, and will return during the holidays accompanied by his . wife; and will then prosecute his life's work on the farm he has developed out in the best part of the county. , " - Office For Principal ' Orders have been given by the ichool board to partition off a por tion of the hallway in the High School building fr use as an office for the principal, Mr. Intel, and also as a recitation room for his classes. The room will be fairly good sized. 'A new roll top desk has also been or dered for Principal Intel.' f I v Will Reside In Portland Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Hcilbom, Bad Marksmanship Otto Skibbe had occasion yester day to break away an iron projection in the course of his work on the waterfront and used a sledge hammer to expedite the matter with; but as luck would have ir, he made a bad shot at the object; struck his hand a smashing blow, wounding several fin gers of his left hand, and probably breaking one of them; and now car ries the hand in a comfortable sling and up out of harm'a way. Opens Law Office Gujttaf A. Hemple, who , recently came to Astoria from Chicago, has opened a law office in the Odd Fel lows' building,' next to the Chamber of Commerce rooms, M. Hemple was recently admitted to practice in this state by the Oregon supreme court. Already, in the several months that he bai been in this city, Mr. Hemple has made many friends and acquaintances who will wish him well in hanging out his shingle here. Home To Nehalem J. C. Rierson, of the Nehalem country, who arrived here on Mon day with his patient and friend, Mr. Cooper, of Portland, whom he saw safely off to Portland, leave's out this morning for his home on the south ern border of the county. Mr. Rier son says that there has been a party of railroad men n his section for some weeks past, who have posed as cruisers and have made a fair stag ger at the business, but who are be lieved to be the advance guard of the "Milwaukee" system of railways; and who are looking up a route from the Hot Drinks Coffee andChocolate. it j ITALIAN PRUNES I ' BJ J.ll OM,Um.llJUILULM,J.!lllllUll. i.

Patrolman Lin"ville. There J, a. pretty political story back of the affair, that events may make well worth the telling. Undo? ; the surface the matter is creating much interest both in police and political circles. ' Took Pair of Shoes i A man who gives his name as Thomas Moran, a logger, picked up a pair of, shoes yesterday that. were on display in front of a store, and calmly shoved them under his coat, it is alleged. Then he walked into a restaurant and called for a meal. But by chance a passerby had seen the action and notified the proprietor, who went into the restaurant and tapped Moran on the shoulder. The shoci fell to the floor and Moran was placed under arrest by 'the policeman on the beat.' ,:' Several Injured While passing over a trestle yes terday morning an engine used in hauling logs to the boom of the Sea side Lumber Company'! mill was precipitated to the ground below by the breaking of a stringer on the trestle. It was reported here that the engineer, William Pennigar and H. C. Anderson,' one of the trainmen were more or Jess Injured. It is presumed, however, that no one was badly hurt inasmuch as none of them was bought to the hospital here for treatment. Up To Standard ... The Western Union's popular rep resentative here, C. W. Lamar, has just installed a new device for guag ing weather conditions and which will materially assist him in perfect ing the climatic record which he maintains as the local weather ob server at Astoria. It is a dual "ther mometer, registering the maximum and minimum temperatures and marking each, the pointers employed in this behalf, remaining at the high est and lowest degrees of the 24 hours and thus making a composite record for each day. It is as simple as it is successful. . " s I 1 : , -.. -;, ' lj La L: ,'. . W lie Good ' Peaches Don't ; Grow in .'Jones's Orchard C Copyrtghi lbwi8 tj SCHLOSS BROS.

There are scores of high class factories in these United States where skill and science are striving to produce the BIT clothes ever made. Their Tenth Anniversary On Monday evening last the beau tiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Callcnder of this city, was gog with pleasant excitement and interest on the score of its being the tenth anniversary of their happy married life. They were well remembered by their numerous friends on both banks of the Columbia, and were recipients of many suggestive and appropriate gifts of gleaming tinware; the ma jority bringing their remembrances to the home, and sharing the delight ful hospitality of the donees, which, as everyone hereabout knows, was ample and hearty to the last degree. Will Be Brought Here A gentleman just returned from a business trip to Tillamook City and bayreports that, the steamer Ban don that went ashore there about 10 days ago, has been hauled off the snag upoil which she is reported to have struck, and is now being patch ed up preparatory to bringing her around here and on to Portland for dry-docking and full repair. Captain Gcnereaux, the well known salvor, is "m charge of the work. She is a fine staunch ship 170 feet long, well en- gined and a comparatively new boat, and has been running between San Francisco and the lower Oregon coast ports.

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 froa 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. ' Young men and old men can step into the fine WISE Toggery and get clothes to suit both their tastes and their pocketbooks 315 to $35. HEIR MAN WISE Astoria's Reliable Toggery and the only matter of interest con fronting the board was the resigna tion of Secretary Albert C. Ross, and the appointment of his successor; and this is allowed to go over since there are numerous applicants for the position and the two Commis sioners did not feel like attempting it with Commissioner Taylor absent. State Pilot Commission , The absence of Judge F. J. Taylor of this city in St. Helen's yesterday, in attendance upon the Circuit Court, prevented a full session of the Ore gon State Board of Pilots here yes terday. Commissioners ' Pendleton and Farrel were down from Portland but finding their confrere absent concluded to waive the meeting. There were no branches to issue, Marine Movements Yesterdays- There was but little doing along the Astoria waterfront yesterday ow ing to the inclement weather condi tions and a Dounding bar off the mouth of the Columbia. The steam er Shoshone arrived down from Port land, San Francisco bound, and is still in port.The Diamond 0 came down with a cargo of oil from Port land for the Union Oil Company.5- The steamer Harold Dollar was among the arrivals from California, and went on to the metropolis at once. The steamship Geo. W. Elder came in from California at 7 o'clock and went up stream an hour later. The steamer Homer entered port last night, and after discharging one hun dred sacks of onions consigned to K. Osbourne, she too went on up the river to load lumber outward from Portland. , ' , ALEX TAGG .;. Ice Cream. 25c.; a Qt. FRESH CHOCOLATES, - CANDIES, ETC.

Wave-Soiinds Heard There a good deal going the rounds now-a-days about sound waves and their effects and values; but there was a bit of change yes terday afternoon, when the interest 'of waterfront people was attuned to the wave-sounds that came up this harbor from the insistant old ocean. The long-drawn swish of, the low running swell that swung beneath the wharves and along the ship's sides anchored in the stream and berthed at the docks; the sudden and casional white play of a comber out on the quiet stretch of water; the viscious lnnge of the drifting wood beneath the wharfing all along the front; all telling of the thundering break of ocean water on the barrier down at the mouth of the Columbia, sent booming in from the turbulent Pacific for many a storm-marked ,mile. It was peculiarly noticeable on account of the perfect quietude that prevailed just before their arrival at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. .Brought In Safely frame worn, the husky young timber faller for Mr. Meserve of Gray's River, an account of whose hurt in the woods was published in these columns yesterday morning, ar rived safely in the city yesterday morning and is now resting easily at St. Mary's hospital and under the skilled and careful treatment of his physician, Dr. Pilkington. He was not quite so badly hurt as at first supposed and will make it through in good shape. The miracle of his case lies in the escape he made from a killing, and the cheer of it in the spontaneous kindness of his fellows who made such generous and mighty effort to get him into touch with the agencies of healing and comfort. In the stout hands of a dozen of his fellow workmen, he was borne over one of the roughest and blindest trails of .that section, stumbling, fall ing, slipping, in the dark and wet of the night; forcing the way through masses of tangled vines and all the impediments of a deep and half ob literated path, for a distance of 12 miles, where the wagon ,of a friendly farmer was used to cover the remain ing three miles to the river; and from there he was made moderately com fortable on the steamer Wenona and brought to this city, after a long de- Initiative Petition It is stated that the efforts to pre pare the proposition for submission to the voters' at the coming municipal election to do away .with the present elective police commission are well under way. An outline of a sew measure which provides for the ap pointment of three commissioners by the Mayor has been carefully drafted- The object of the, new plan is to place the responsibility upon die shoulders of the Mayor, who will be given the power of appointing and removing the police commissioners. It is said that another measure wi3 also be drafted, one to grant the Mayor a salary annually, of periapt $1000. All such petitions must z fled with the city auditor not later thaa the first Monday in November, which does not permit any too much time yet. Any such initiative petition must be signed by at least 200 legallj qualified electors of the city, who had registered at the preceding yt eral city election. The name, .street and number, address and voting .pre cinct of each elector must be -Riven on the petition. Every separate sheet of the petition on which signature are secured must have . at the hra3 thereof the "title and text" of the pe tition. It will not do to have the petition simply on the .first sheet, and it is evident that great care must be 'taken ni the preparation of such pe titions. While there seems to be a crying need of certain changes in the present status of municipal laws, .and while there has been much talk of making changes, yet because these k no one" particularly interested IkO has been thus far done, for "what's everybody's business is nobody!s business." hardly observable volumes of water that surged under the placid surface lay on the failing tide at the mouth of the bay and made no sound until of Gray's River. It is good to have they met the resisting shore; the oc- such friends.
