Apprehension Fell-
It was reported at this office last
evening tliat some apprehension is
felt by the young friends of Norman
11. 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,

complaints had been presented in
writing, though several had been ver
bally reported. J. McGuire of the A.
& C. Railway, stated that he believed
that the assessment on the company's
rolling stock is too high, though some
many think it Is too low. Several other
complaints were made of errors rath
er than of' an excessive rating. The
board will continue to sit for the pur
pose of acting upon complaints for
the remainder of the week. V

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

assisting a young man to return t8

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

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.

PERSONAL LlENTIOIl
Came Through The Storm
Captain K. E. 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
