' Lumber Price Up It I stated that the City Lumber & Box Company, which control much of the retail trade In thi sec tion, will announce an increase in ' thcirpr!ce fist on October 22. Price will go up per thousand on all grades of lumber, it is slated, and thi is the second advance thU month. On October 1 there was an increase announced. It is said that thi advance in price ia called for by tie fact that log are high and going higher. They are quoted at $10 a thousand now. Will Accept The Place A. S. Tee, the city surveyor, has finally consented to run again " for that office and a petition has been placed in circulation. Mr. Tee has frequently said he doesn't want the job, and has announced that he wouldn't take it. But there appears to be no one else who is willing, or capable, , of taking the place, and Ticnce it is "up to" Mr. Tec to step rn and fill the breach. The position pays $150 per month, and if it wcte one that did not require technic?! knowledge there probably would be from five to forty candidates after It at that -salary.

Work Ha Started- The work of construction has beep begun on the new mercantile wharf at Ilwaeo, and the MOO -foot struc ture will be carried to its limit; and if it shall' be found on reaching the inner line of the McGowan cannery, that there ii not enough, water there for shipping purposes, then ; it will be carried out 300 feet further, where there is ample depths for all service. It is a creditable undertaking for that snuill community . and should re dound to its commercial up lift and there are plenty of Astorian who will be glad to see such a realization. Down From Portland C, C. Bechtold, vice-president and general manager of the National Hospital Association, with general offices at Portland, came down to Astoria yesterday, and in company with E. M. Crawford, the local man ager, went to Seaside, Last night they returned to this , city. Mr. Bechtold stated that the association is now doing a very wide work in thi vicinity, especially in the lumber camps. As a rule the loggers are not very provident for themselves, and by the plan that the company has introduced, arrangements are made whereby the men are insured against accident and make payment therefore through the company. The cost is slight and many a man has had cause to bless the fact that he was insured when some bad accident laid him up for day or weeks. , "A Poor Relation" A well filled house wan in attend ance last night at the Astoria Thea tre to witness Lee Willard and com pany In "A Poor Relation," the com edy made famous by the noted actor, Sol Smith Russell. The performance lait evening was fairly well present ed, with a few exception in the sup porting company, several members apparently being new-and .-not sure of their parts, which fact , was , the cause of making the piece drag and of the loss of many of the good point of the excellent comedy. Mr, Willard himself, gave a pleasing por traiture of Noah Vale but he was sadly handicapped and much of his good work failed to strike hi hear er favorably. Still the play no doubt met with the approval of the audience as everybody went home pleased and satisfied that they bad received their money worth. Hot Drinks Coffee and Chocolate.

Arrangements were perfected yes terday for the non partisan meeting which is to be held in Logan hall next Monday, night, A formal an nouncement of the meeting has been issued .by. the., committee in charge, and in another .column appears ',. an advertisement in regard to the mat ter. While it is probably true that most of the gentlemen back of this movement " are affiliated with the Democratic party, there ; is perhaps no question that there is now a sin cere desire among most of them to place a strictly non-partisan ticket in the field. This feeling is so general in the community at the present time that it is felt among all classes. Therefore the men who originated this movement are apparently doing all they consistently can to make their meeting a newt-partisan one, and hope are entertained that it can be made a vey successful one. But while this movement is under way, there is a distinct and perhaps even stronger movement among an other set of men to the same end that is, to secure a tet of clean busi ness men, to run for office, with Mr. Elmore at the head if he will con sent to run. Hence there are Jthe two parallel movement. Today effort may be made to ee if these two movement cannot be consolidated into one. If so, it will doubtless mean that tjiere will be a strong and clean set of men placed in nomination," and that politics will cut no figure in the matter, Perhaps it is also evidently true that .the sec ond one oi these two movements is by far the stronger. This means that the men back of the meeting called for Monday night will have to . do something, and concede something, if they wish to make their' a, really representative meeting. Meantime the men who are deter mined to have a "business adminis tration" arc awaitfng the return of Mr. Elmore. He, did not get back from Portland yesterday. . What their attitude will be toward the meeting called for Monday night cannot yet be foretold, and it prob ably will depend almost entirely on what assurances, or concessions to ward a strictly non-partisan and business administration, that may be made during the next day or two. New Postal Fraud Postmaster John Hahn has receiv ed advices from the postal depart ment cautioning him against the per petration of a new and novel swindle which originates is Spain when it is played at all; a freak in criminal im posture which, is obviously, pretty blamed hard to work on any live Amcricn, It is begun by some scoun drel over there writing a letter to some countryman in the United States, telling him that the writer, who is the alleged heir to a $300,000 estate, is in prison, and that on his way there, his suitcase was pre empted by 'the court officials at Car thagena, and that in the case were the documents conferring the title to the money upon the man so incar cerated; and praying the American Spaniard- (who is also claimed as a stain kinsman), to forward a sum of money wherewith to secure the release of the sequestered suit-case and papers, and incidentally mention ing the existanec of a lovely girl of the family, who will be glad to make her home with the American if she can but have the money to come out on.
