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.

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.

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. Of course fhe last is heard and
seen of any money sent forward on
either of the bids. A bum proposi
tion that, to put ttp to any keen-cut
