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-

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

iana," which is in dubious shape just
at this time, there is no room for
uneasiness anywhere in the nation,
and I, for one, look for superb ma
jorities from the Republican strong
holds of the country when the votes
are counted next month.
"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.

NAME MEANS SOMETHING.
When" A. E. ' Petersen ' built i and
named the 'Modern" barber shop, he
meant ;that, it should Mand for what
it was called. No'patron has missed
i single feature, of the modern ton
sorial parlor at that house; arid every
new device in ' the way 'of perfect
comfort and service is constantly add
ed as it develops. .. 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."
