Gees Plying South " Numerous big flocks of wild geese were seen yesterday morning high In the heavens on their way south, In one flock there must have been fully 3000 geese, though from the dlsor dered array in which they were flying it is possible that there were two or three big flocks which had met and gotten mixed up. , Funeral Postponed The funeral of the late Mrs, F.rlck Ilictanen was not held yesterday afternoon, as had been arranged.

The landlord of the hall laid this embargo ,on the boys, and there were enough pretty girla on the floor to make any man swerve In his political allegiance for the hour, so the mandate was obeyed and all had a fine time; but it was a Taft ball, alright!

Anstcnson, the well known photo grapher with Frank Woodfield, from the act that he has not been seen since last Thursday, He was then talking about going over the river with a sailor friend, but whether be went, or where he went, is a mystery that will bear unravelling. There Is no grave fears felt for hit safety, but an uneasiness that he should not have innounced his purposes itt some defi tute way. . Down To Coot Immigration Inspector Raphael Bonham, of this port, accompanied by Customs Inspector Ncllo Johnson, departed for the Coos Ray country on the steamer Alliance, on Sunday morning last. Mr Bonham goes on an official tour of Inspection, and Mr, Johnson as a sight-seer. Mr. and Mrs. C. If,. Callender were also on board the ship; and as the whole party went there in the very teeth of the Sunday gale, It is reasonable to expect there will be some thrilling tales told when they all get home; that is. If any of them were well enough to know what was going on about them. Board of Equalization- Tile county board of equalization, consisting of the county assessor, the county clerk and the county judge, met yesterday to act upon complaints in relation to the assessments.

Rocky Mountain Express" Thin is the title of a play put on the boards of the Astoria opera house on Sunday last (not by Manager Frank Hanlin, be it understood), but by a troupe of incomeptents so wo- fully bad as to make about 250 people wish the had not braved the inclem ency of the night to witness the dis mal and uninteresting exhibition. There was simply one actor on the stage, the man who took the part of a Mexican brigand, but it has never been explained how he got there. The play was "rocky" from curtain to curtain; a "mountain" of uproarious balderdash and senseless gun plays; and an "express," and bowling, fail ure. The sheer waste of the hours devoted to its hideous unfoldment, was redeemed by the music rendered by Miss Esther Sundquist, the violin ist, and Miss Gertrude Kearney, her accompanist. . A Fine Action The Swedish-Finn society held a basket auction Saturday night in A. O. U. W. hall for the purpose of rais ing money with the object in view of assisting a young man to return t8 his native home irt Finland.. He is sick, with lung trouble, and his physi cian fears that he cannot live long. At the auction "Saturday night the sum of $106.50 was raised, and all of this will be turned over to him, a sum probably sufficient to carry him to Finland. The auctioneer was Judge Anderson, and after the baskets had been disposed o the society engaged in a good time, including dancing, and the evening was passed very pleasantly. Several times this society has generously raised money for some worthy cause, and the sum secured ''V-: AL'EX;-'TAGG "v :- Ice Cream 2Sc; a Qt.

A Narrow Shave- Two young men, one of them nam ed Hansen, landed from the steamer Mayflower yesterday noon, at the Callender dock, in this city, after a very aerious experience up the river on Sunday night and yesterday morn- ng. The had gone up to McGregor's Island, about two miles above Tongue Point, on a duck hunting expedition, going in a motor tisn boat, and tow ing a duck boat astern, for entering the smaller waterways up there. The storm caught them at dawn yester day, and the fish boat was swamped in a flash. The young men sought to make it to the mainland in the duck boat, but this was too frail to with stand the fierce onslaughts of wind and water, and soon it began to sink with them. They managed to get next to a great log or snag, and climbed upon it just as their craft went from under them. For nearly three hours they clung manfully to their mid-river perch, and when- the Mayflower hove in sight they hailed her and she took them off, and in an almost exhausted condition, and brought them on to the city. They will make immediate effort to secure their boats, as they know just where they are swamped. and cleaned up and is in very fair condition for the voyage. It .was first thought she would be taken to Seattle for an overhauling, but this order was changed later by the own ing company. Captain Krews will return to his North Bend home on the steamer Breakwater on Thursday, and Mr. and Mrs. Esterbrook will go south later in the week. They, are domiciled at the Merwyn, while Cap tain Krews is at the Hotel Parker. In Serious Shape The fine O. R. & N. steamer Has salo got into the very thick of the norVester yesterday morning when she left the big piers here at 7 o'clock for Portland. With the help of the steamer Daniel Kern, she got underway- and lined out for her run across the bay. There was a heavy swell running and the wind was blow ing 60 or 70 miles an hour; the, Has salo stood up to it alright till she got out into the center of things when she went wrong -all at once. Her hog chains snapped, and she lost both of her monkey rudders, and her cabin windows were shivered to splinters in the vicious blasts that swept her; Only that she was in the hands of a man who knew his business down to the "water," and then some, she must have become unmanageable; but she was rounded up at Altoona and safely berthed there and emergency repairs made. Wires were sent , over to Agent G. W. Roberts of the O. R. & N. of this city, and Mr. Roberts noti fied the headquarter office in Portland of her dilemma. The Hassalo pro ceeded to Portland in her crippled condition when the fury of the gale had subsided and she made it al right in the sheltered waters of the river. A number of ladies on board were badly frightened and one of two of them fainted, but all rallied when the stress was overcome. It is thought the Harvest, Queen will takej the place of the Hassalo, provided the course of repairs is not too great; if they are, then the big Potter is likely to come out on the run. in the metropolis. ; Walter Robb, ex-Collector of Cca toms, of this port, was a ibusiae&a visitor in the city yesterday.

Krews, of North Bend, who has been down Tillamook way, looking into the status of the steamer Bandon, which was aground in Tillamook Bay, returned yesterday to this port, on the steamer Geo. R. Vosburg, accompanied . by A. F. Esterbrook," one of the owners of the I Bandon, and Mrs. Esterbrook, the whole party coming up through the heart of yesterday 'morning's storm. They entered port at 4 o'clock, and after being up all night on the stout little sea-tug, .took the opportunity to sleep the better portion of the day, and all enjoyed the rest. Captain Krews says the Bandon is not so ser iously injured as was at first sup posed. A diver has sounded her bot torn and found many of her seams sprung; these have been caulked and stripped for, temporary purposes, and steam was gotten up on the ship on Sunday. She will leave out for San Francisco just as soon as the present gale subsides and will go on the dry dock there for complete repair. He estimates the damages to the Ban don at about $6000.
