Splendid Map Out
J. I. Springer, : traveling freight
and passenger agent for-the Great
Northern, Railway, reached this city
yesterday on the noon train, and will
be in this section for several days to
come, on business (or his company.
Mr, Springer brought with him the
new and handsome map his company
has just uttered, and which shows
the vast and comprehensive system of
lines owned and operated by the fa
mous Hill railway. It sharply indi
cates the terminal attitude of Astoria
and puts this city in due evidence as
one of the live and actual point and
station on the great system. These
maps were distributed with a shrewd
discrimination peculiarly Mr. Spring
cr't own. . ' ,
Railway Official Here '
'General Frcieht I and Passenger
Agent H. M. "Adams, of the Spokane,
Portland. & Seattle, or "North Bank"
road, accompanied by E. C. Liilcy,
superintendent of . car service for
that systemand John McGuire. su
rrerlntendent of the A. & C, arrived
in this city yesterday on a tour of
inspection of the general equipment
of the road, with a view to estimat
ing the sum of provision that will be
necessary for the coming year. In
the course of a conversation with
Mr. Adams, that gentleman, inform
ed a reporter for the Astorian, that
the connections and opening of his
line at the Portland end, has not yet
been fixed, and will not be, despite
all. the metropolitan press reports to
the contrary, until the company had
received its full passenger equipment
from the East; which statement,
coming from such a source, is to be
relied upon as exact and final.

Some days agtj the Morning As-
torian left Chief ' hnginccr Chester
ordan of this city, away up on tin:
Chanler river in Alaska, on his!
steamer, within 30 miles of his do
tinuation, a freeze coming on and rain
hoped for, with the alternative of
liking biick to the Yukon and to,
Fairbankr in the open boats belong-
ng to; his steamer.
The freeze came, the waters of the
Chanler shallowed and froze and
closed in about the doomed craft;
her freight was hauled ashore over
the ice,' and safely cached on the
river bank; the steamer hauled into
an adjacent slough; and the officers
and men left down the river afoot
and in boats and finally reached their
home port. ' '
From last night's late express on
its arrival at the Astorian union
depot, Chet Jordan alighted in his
home city' well and cheerful and
ad to be here again, and was cor
dially welcomed at 'the family home
little later. He came down on the
steamer Victoria and landed in Se
attle last Sunday morning.
It will be remembered that the
Astorian'a story of the achievements
of the nearby wireless stations of
the United Wireless Co., recently,
dealt with the fact that the Westport
man, over on the Washington coast,
had spoken to the, Victoria while she
was south bound in the Bering Sea.
Well, on that very occasion, "Fuzzy"
Fcrland, of the Smith's Point station
in this city, has asked hit chum over
at .Westport to inquire of the Vic
toria's people "if there was a young
man on' board by the name of Chet
Jordan?" and an affirmative answer
was sent in to this office,' Tin's oc
curred last week sometime, but the
Astorian has just gotten hold of it
Chet says he was amazed to have
his name howled out all over the
ship as he did not understand the
cause of it, until he found it was .a
wireless inquiry from Wcstport and
the fact that he did not know any
one t Westport, deepened the puzzle
for him still more and he has been
wondering all the way who wanted
him, and for what But it's alright
now! ' - '
Star Course Soon .'
At a meeting of the Young Men's
League of the First Presbyterian
Church, held on Monday night, it
was ascertained that 291 tickets had
already then been sold for the Star
course. This number was deemed
highly gratifying, and it gives assur
ance that the venture is not to prove
a losing one in a financial way. Plans
were at once made to hasten the sale
of the remainder of the tickets, and
probably by the sixth of November,
when the opening entertainment is
to be held, there will be few if any
season tickets left. It costs the
Yqung Men's League $700 to secure
the four entertainments of the
course, and it is highly gratifying to
realize already that their efforts have
met with such fine encouragement.
The opening entertainment will be
"Four Great Musical Artists."
Holda Life Cheap-
Frederick Larson, the man who
shot himself in the breast several
weeks ago, submitted to an opera
tion at St. Mary's hospital yesterday
in an effort to cleanse the wound.
Larson apparently doesn't care very
nftich what becomes of him, for
several days ago he walked down
town and there did not take care of
himself in the manner he should
have. " He should recover without
much trouble if he will act properly,
it is said.
Small Fire ,
Shortly after 10 o'clock last night
a fire was discovered burning in" a
partition on the second floor of the
Hager Theatre building, and , in re
spouse to an alarm from box' 18 the
fire department quickly responded,
and a few minutes' work on the part
of Chemical No. I subdued the in
cipicnt blaze. The cause of the fire
was a defective flue, and but little
damage was done. "

The Levy Next-
Mr. Clinton, the county clerk, will
as soon as possible "make out the
assessed valuations for the different
districts of the county and send them
out, and upon these the valuations
the proper levy may be made. The
question of the levy for the county,
for a city, or for a school district,
is a simple one, ajid yet many do not
act as if it were undersood. In a
school district, for example, first the
valuation is made by the county as
sessor, and then the district figures
out what its probable expenses for
the coming period will be. Having
the valuation and the amount of
money to be raised by taxation, the
levy is simply the percentage, ex
pressed in mills, that will give the
amount required out of the total
valuation. But several districts have
already sent in their levy, without
knowing what the valuation this year
is. They are merely guessing. In
asmuch as the valuation throughout
the county this year is just about 60
per cent higher than hertofore the
levy this year "ought to be propor
tionately less, other things being
equal.

"ASTORIA'S RELIABLE CLOTHIER' I
Men Are Arraigned
. S. Singer and Sam Marko, the two
men arrested on a charge of fleecing
severat merchants by means of frau
dulent pretenses, were arraigned be
fore -Justice Goodman yesterday, and
held in default of $250 - bail each.
There are eight ' complaints, being
signed by A. Jaloff, Victor Rost, S.
Danziger and P. A. Stokes. Their
bearing was set for Friday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, and meantime the men
are in v the county jail. They are
making strenuous efforts to secure
their release on bail, and have sent
messages to Seattle for financial as
sistance. Chief Oberg of the police
department is afraid that the men
will skip but if they are released on
the $250 bail each, and plans have
been made to immediately re-arrest
them if they get out on bail Evi
dently, the police chief thinks the bail
might have been placed at a higher
figure, but it was put at that figure
principally at the solicitation of their
attorney, C. J. Curtis, and perhaps
because Justice Goodman thought it
was high enough anyway, even if
they could get the money. Some lit
tle pleasantries were passed in . the
court room over the alleged ease
with which some of the Astoria
merchants "bite," and Judge Good
man finally said: "Well, in view of
your clients' moderation in working
in this verdant pasture, I presume it
will be only fair to make their bond
a moderate one.
