There are a lot of excellent grapes
in the local market now, and they
seem to be as wholesome and sweet
as they look. During the summer
there was much complaint of inferior
fruit offered for sale here, but just at
present the stores apparently, have
some fine fruit on hand. The Cali

Change In Proprietorship

business conducted for some years
past at No.- 504 Bond street in this
city, by Lawrnce II. Henningsen,
has been sold by that gentleman to

A "Tin Anniversary
This day marks the passing of the
tenth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr. and Mrs. August G, Carlson, who
dwell at No. 113 Franklin avenue in
this city. They were married at the
metropolis on the lSth of October,
1898, and have many friends in As
toria. Mr. Carlson is foreman of the
big Lindcnberger cold storage plant
here ' '' '"'.
For Rights of Way
At a meeting of the directors of the
electric street car company yesterday
afternoon it was decided that efforts
should be made at once to secure the
rights of way for the line between
this city and Seaside. Nothing has
been done in this relation thus far, as
it has been somewhat difficult to get
business men to give their time to
the matter. However, II. G. Van
Dusen was selected for the purpose
and has agreed to take up the work
at once. It is hoped to have all the
rights of way formally secured with
in ten days. .....
Name Left Out
1 By an inadvertance the name of
Miss Margaret Taylor was left out
of the cast of "The Trials of Mr,
Flipper" as published in the Astorian
of yesterday. Miss Taylor will take

Flipper's" house. The play promises
to be a very successful one and much

who likes to pass an evening in this
way to sfceure tickets for "Mr. Flip

an unqualified success, and this one
will doubtless prove just as entertain
ing and meritorious. .-Friday-night is

Egg High and Poor
An extreme scarcity of Oregon
ranch eggs has caused jump in the
prices, which yesterday were quoted
at 37J cents, this being the whole
sale quotation, of course. In Seattle
the prices went even higher, and
Tuesday In Seattle they were priced
at from 8 to SO cents., These prices
soon dropped, however, as they were
manifestly too high. In Astoria the
retail price arc high and not only
that, but it seem difficult to get good
eggs no matter what is paid. Some
dealers have been selling what they
claimed to be "ranch eggs" at 33
cents, though these eggs were very
poor and hardly fit for the table. As
a matter of fact they were evidently
candled eggs and not of a good qual
ity at that. In Chicago and other
eastern markets the egg price are
reasonably low. At two of the local
hotels it is said to be almost impos
sible to get good eggs now, and a
strange part of the matter seems to
be that very little effort is made in
this locality to keep hens for market
and egg purposes.
A Needed Improvement
For some time the Callcndcr Navi
gation Company of this city has real
ized the urgent necessity of a deady
resort for the repairing and berthing
of its fleet of scows and barges here
at the seat of its principal business
and also to meet the demand of a
similar nature from other and out
side sources; and to this end, it has
leased a big waterfrontage, lying be
tween the westerly line of the Kin
ney Cannery property and the east
erly line of the Leather' boat yard,
and are now installing thereon the
necessary gridirons' and structures in
cident to the business of overhauling,
caulking and repairing such craft of
tneir own and other peoples' as may
need the place and service. It will
also be turned to account as a "bone
yard" for the safe keeping of their
idle barges. It is said that some of
the rock barges now in the jetty
service will be among the first ves
sels to be hauled onto the new ways,
wheih will be completed in a few
day. '
Candidates Are Buy
Tom Loughery, candidate for the
office of street superintendent, is
busy handing out cards announcing
his candidacy. H. E. Steffensen is
also another man who will make a
strong run for this position. Fred
Sherman has also announced his can
didacy, and these with Mr. Kearney,
the incumbent, give , promises that
there will be considerable activity for
the peoples' favor for this office. Mr
Kearney has made no formal an
nouncement of his candidacy, but it
is understood that he will run again,
and he also has many friends who
would like to see him retain the place
with whose duties he is so familiar.
Generally speaking, however, there
seems to be a tacit understanding
that the activities of the municipal
campaign shall be kept in the back
ground as far as possible until after
the national election on November 3.
Will Erect Cottage
At a meeting of the park commis
sioners last night the city surveyor,
Mr. Tee, was authorized to go ahead
and construct a cottage on the City
Park for the use of the keeper, and
for incidental use of the public. Mr.
Tee had already prepared plans' for
the cottage, and according to the
plans the building will be quite a
handsome little structure. The cost
is to be $425. The commission em
ploys a man to work around the park
Nick Wisner and he will be per
mitted the use of this cottage as a
residence. It will have only two
rooms. A broad veranda will be
built which will be a place of refuge
for visitors in case of rairf. The city
owns upwards of 13 acres in this
park tract, and it is hoped to have it
in handsome shape after a year or
two more, The commission also pass
ed upon several bills last night. Com
missioners G. C. Fulton, Gratke, Hil
debrand, Tee and Mayor Wise were
present. ; ,

Truancy Cases
Investigation by A. L. Clark, the
superintendent of schools', shows that
there are apparently about 300 chil
dren out of school who, under the
terms of the state law, should be at
tending classes daily, It h possible,
however, that this number should be
lessened somewhat, inasmuch as some
of the children have moved out of
town or are at present absent from
the city. These figures were obtain
ed by comparing the list of children
in attendance with the school census
taken last November. The census
showed that there are 2680, children
of school age in the city, and of these
about 300 are not accounted for now,
The law requires that all children be
tween the ages of 9 and 14 "must" go
to school, and between the ages of
14 and 16, must attend school unless
engaged in some employment. The
police chief i the truancy officer, but
heretofore no satisfaction has been
secured by appealing to the police in
the truancy cases,, nevertheless strong
efforts will be made this fall to see
that the truants are compelled to go
to school. If necessary, efforts will
be made to have a special officer em
ployed for the purpose. Some sug
gested that a woman would give sat
isfaction as a truancy officer.
Operation Performed
Mr. Bjorge, residing near Cath
lamet, was brought to St. Mary' hos
pital Tuesday by her family physi
cian, Dr. Fred Peacock of Catlilamet,
to be treated for an affliction for
which she has suffered almost con
stantly during the last twelve years.
Dr. Henderson was called to operate
and with the asistance of Dr. Pea
cock and Dr. Reamer he performed a
surgical operation which will likely
relieve her of much suffering. The
patient is at this time in excellent
condition with every prospect of
speedy recovery. The number of peo
ple who come to St. Mary's Hospital
for treatment is really surprising.
That institution is -presided over by
Sister Andrew, who was for many
year in charge of the surgical de
partment of St. Vincent Hospital in
Portland. While there she acquired a
reputation as a surgical nurse that
made her famous all over the Pacific
Coast, and it is said that as good
work can be done and is done here,
as in any city or any hospital in the
western country. V
Money In Ginseng
The Post-Intelligencer , of Seattle
had a story in its Sunday issue 'of
the raising of ginseng on logged-ofT
lands, and according to this account
one man whose name and. address
are given ha made several thou
sands of dollars this season off from
half an acre. The article says be
will clear from $4000 to $6000 from
this little patch. Manager Whyte of
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
wrote to the man in an effort to as
certain if there is some truth in the
statements credited to him. He grows
his ginseng in a sort of hot house,
cheaply made. Ginseng is of value
as; an article of export because of its
comparative rarity. The Chinese
value it highly for medicinal pur
poses, and as it has become exceed
ingly scarce in that country consider
able quantities are shipped from this
country each year. It grows wild in
Tennessee and George, but never in
any prolific manner there. The mar
ket for ginseng is limited, presumably
to the Chinese, and if it can be raised
in this country on logged-off lands
with the abundance indicated by the
article in the Seattle paper it prob
ably would at once drop to a market
valuation of virtually nothing. It was
its scarcity that heretofore gave it a
market value. ;
Company Drill ,,
After the drill of the First Com
pany in their armory : in Foard &
Stokes hall last night, all the various
minor accessories that had not been
heretofore been placed in the hands
of the men were issued out, and now
each member has his full equipment.
A short session was held of the com
pany meeting, also, and various mat
ters of interest' taken up and passed
upon. The lockers were all assigned
last night, and orders given that for
the future the members must - leave
their clothing and equipment in their
lockers. The second section will go
out to Young's Bay Sunday after
noon for target practice, under the
command of Second Lieutenant Sut
ton. Members of this section are to
assemble at the armory at 12:30
o'clock Sunday.
No Political Clubs ;
Apparently the efforts to organize
political clubs for the presidential
campaign have ended in something
like a fizzle, for the Taft club that
was to be organized by the Republi
cans, and the Bryan Club that was
to have been organized by the demo
crats, are both still in mere embry
ionic state." One of the members of

CliAS. V. BROWN
The Family Shoe Store Man
terday said that there didn't seem to
be much likelihood of much activity
here, and the slight efforts made to
get some "big" speakers have-ended
in fiat failure. . Prominent speakers
are almost impossible to get, this
year, and Oregon has only had
Beveridge. Senator Fulton, however,
is scheduled to speak here the last
night of this month. The Astoria
democrats seem to be in even worse
plight, for they have no club organ
ized and, as far as has been announc
ed, there is no speaker retained to
help enliven the campaign. In this
section there is apparently a feeling
that Oregon will give its usual re"
publican majority for the President
tial ticket, and that is probably the
reason why neither side is "whooping
it up."
