Irving Avenue Slide ,,
Several of the houses on Scow Bay
at the foot of the Irving-avenue slide,
are in bad shape because of the mov

made ' the matter worse. It seems
probable that "something will hap

rains are over, though thus far the

marked movement in the big mass of

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. .

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.

Mr. Wise has learned where to get the BEST.

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

but finding their confrere absent
concluded to waive the meeting.

night, and after discharging one hun

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

has been thus far done, for "what's
