JlV.;i J When the big store of the Foard & Stokes Hardware Company was opened up for business yesterday morning at the customary hour, the unpleasant discovery was made that the establishment had been burgtariz ed during the night and eleven fine tine weapons, consisting of four guns (three shotguns and -one rifle) and seven revolvers taken; each and all of the highest grade of manufacture, and approximating a value of $200. The burglary was committed along about midnight and when the tide was out, the thieves having made the attack upon the house from beneath the street decking, as there are plenty of signs of, waterfront mud that lead from the outer premises to the door through which entrance was, effected. A oneinch Zenith bit and augur was used to bore holes clcaf around the lower panel of the cast door of the pair , in the rear of the store some 50-odd holes being bored before the panel was lifted out. The opening was just 14 J inches by 12, which in dicates that a reasonably small man must have done the work; and all signs point to the utmost delibera tion and coolness on the part of the scoundrels engaged in it, the weight of the articles taken precluding the idea of one man having accomplished it with the necessary dispatch. The thieves made no ovrtures to ward the office, nor did they attack the cash register which they must have passed frequently in their pere grinations about the store and which contained some silver money; they were after weapons and nothing else. The robbery was cleverly devised and well carried out, but there are re sources in possession of the company which will be worked out to a cul mination that will, sooner or later, lead to the guilty, parties. ' This is the third robbery this house has had to face in the two years of its busi ness xistance."''3rc;?f J Mift,Jr- ! : . ..HAVE YOU SEEN..:.- ; ' xf I HART.

Largest Stock of Records in the State - A. G. SPEXARTH Hon. W. R. Ellis, of Pendleton, senior representative in Congress, for the Statt of Oregon was in the city yesterday morning for4 an hour, or two, or during the stay here of the steamship Breakwater, en route to Coos Bay. Judge Ellis was enjoying the luxury of an early and beautiful morning in Astoria, with, its brilliant sunshine,, and 'fresh winds' from the open sea, and bad just finished a hearty breakfast ; wheii the Astorian man joined him in a promenade on the Breakwater's upper deck. After an interchange of courtesies, to ' which Astoria and her people lost nothing by way of friendly comment at the instance of the distinguished East Oregonian, that gentleman went on to say something of a cheering - na ture in political way, which was to the following" effect: v r ". i. "The State Republican Executive Committee deemed it necessary to send some one down into the lower coast country in the interests of, Mr. Taft's election, not from any fear that the normal majorities down that way would be distrubed by even a fraction, but, "as evidence of good faith, eenuine good faith, and to show our friends they were, not for gotten, so they asked me to go down there and give art account of things, anil that is my errand." While I am .there it is my purpose to hold five meetings and deliver addresses at Marshfield, North Bend, Coquille, Myrtle Point and' Bandon, beginning next Monday night and taking the points named, daily, in this sequence. This should enable me to reach home, or at least Portland, on the evening of Sunday after next, v "Of course you good people of Clatsop are going to send up a round thousand majority for Taft next month; that goes without saying; no body ever worries about your county at such junctures as this, and indeed the State at large, is safer than it ever was in a Presidential election before With, the possible ,' exception of In CRAVENETTES $12.50 to $18.00 z.rw TV- 7.': 'V UNDERWEAR J IIAT9 1 HOME OF HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX CLOTHES.

"Don't forget to remember me most kindly to all my friends in Astoria and please say that I regret that my engagements will not - permit my stopping for a day here, ' going or coming.

The latest is an exoert bootblack, the best in the k,c;f.:" a oualification that makes j'"--" r his employment really wodcrn. ' ' When last night's express' from Portland pulled in at the depot, F. N. Clark, the genial, ever-smiling president' of the Columbia Trust Company, was one of the first to alight; laden with two big heavy grips full of literature about the big tract, Swinton, which his company is hand ling in Portland. It stms good to have Mr. Clark with us to liven us up with his optomistlc spirit and en thusiasm, if it is only for a few days. 'Swinton.'an ad about which ap pears on the last page of this issue, is a tract which the Columbia Trust Company put on the market in Port land four weeks ago today. It is lo cated on the Peninsula at Portland right along side of the great Swift townsite, "Kenton." The sale of the lots in Swinton has been , pheno- minal, its equal never before having been known in the history of the real estate business5 of Portland." The cause of this is the fact that it is lo cated right in the center of the great activity on the Peninsula and. people have been quick in seeing the excel lent opportunity for investment offer ed in' Swinton lots.' 1 ; ' " ' In speaking about the development and condition of things in. that par ticular part of Portland, Mr, Clark said in part; "A person who has not had the opportunity to visit the sec tion' in which Swift's townsite, Ken ton, and Swinton are located cannot begin to realize what is actually be ing done there, Swift's have laid out a townsite upon which they are lay ing the foundation of practically a new city.', Hundreds of men and teams are at work there grading streets, laying water mains, installing electric lights and street car lines, gas, telephones, etc., and the con struction Of several buildings has be gun. ' y ,':, ', '. ;:' "' ' ': "Our tract of Swinton, which we have been making so much to do over, is right in the path of all these developments and the way that the lots have been selling ha been some thing jvowkrfiil, Nearly everyone who. has seen the tract have bought lots, and many who have not eon it, among whom are some of the schrcwdest business men in Port land. In several instances whole blocks have been sold to single pur chasers. It has been pronounced by all as decidedly the best investment in Portland today, One of the great est reasons for the great success of this proposition is due to the fact mat we nave our prices much lower than 1 any other property in that vicinity, "It was my intention to come to Astoria and give the people here an opportunity to buy these lots just as soon as we had it ready for the market but we were Jakcn so by sur prise by the sale of them in Port land that it caught us unprepared and we have been swamped, this beina the first chance I've had1 Io get' away. Mr. Johnson, , our . local representa tive, has, been kept busy selling lots in Swinton here in Astoria as a re sult of our advertising in the Port land papers, many of which purchas ers have seen the property , and come back more than pleased with 'their buys. I intend to be here for, a few days to help Mr. Johnson out and to give others a chance to get in on' this great proposition. Every man or woman in, Astoria "who has a little money to invest should buy one or more lots in Swinton.: , It will make them big and quick profits. ; We have made our terms easy, requiring only 10 per cent of purchase price down and 2 per cent of purchase price per month. While here 1 will make my headquarters withm Mr. A. R. John son, at 120 Twelfth street." Morning Atorian, 60 cents per month 60 cents per month, .delivered by carrier
