' So numerous have been the peti tions this last few week that they have become almost joke. Some men tigri every one that is present ed, and more than one prominent man has tignd the petitions of sev eral men who are running for the same office. Others are very chary about signing anything, and will only sign if at alt after due delibera tion, fc Securing Signatures Ben Ward and J. II. Whyta went out yesterday with a petition for what is called the "promotion hill" and secured 251 signatures, , This is the proposed amendment, to the city charter to permit public taxes to be applied to the support of the, Cham ber of. Commerce. At present the organization is supported entirely by voluntary subscriptions from the members, and inasmuch as the work of the Chamber is for the upbuild ing of the whole city and county it is deemed fair by some that the whole , public be taxed to pay for the pro V motion work. The people must act tle the matter one way or the other by their votes at the city election. Stiff Cam On Sunday There is every prospect for a stiff and interesting' game of football at j he "A. F.

To Depart For England- Rev, John Warren, pastor of Holy Innocent Chapel (Epescopal), will depart for hi old home in England on Monday next and will remain there permanently. Mr. Warren has made many warm friend while in this city and carries with him tbe abundant good will of those who have had the olcaiure of knowing and appreciating Mr. Warren and the labor he has done for the good of the community, ; Struck Hia Son John Watcrhouse, a wealthy farm er who live near Clatsop school- house, while engaged in sawing wood, threw a stick from the saw just at his 16-ycarold son ran around the corner of the house. The bov was struck on the temple, cut ting a gash four or five inches long. The cut wa to the bone and is a, dancrcrous one. A doctor from Sea side was summoned at once. The young man 'narrowly escaped being killed. ., Pastor Returns Rev. Conrad L. Owens has re turned from a two weeks' visit with friends and co-workers in the Baptist faith at Enterprise, where a very successful meting was carried out. Mr. Owens says that the 0. R. & N. feeder from La Grande to Joseph will be completed as far as Enter prise on the 14th of the coming month, and that all the country up that way is rejoicing in the new touch with civilization this railroad will give them. He says that it h unquestionably , one of the finest countries in the state that is tapped by the new feeder. Hot Drinks Coffee and Chocolate. KRAUT T "KRAUT Home Made Sour Kraut 10c Per Quart Scholfield, Mattson & Co. phone mi GOOD GOODS phone 931 , . 120 TO 124 TWELFTH STREET A large consignment of book for use in the public school throughout the country has been 'received by M'is Warren, the county superin tendent of schools, from the State Library Commission. Under the term of a law adopted a number of years ago the State furnishes free to every school that applies therefore a number of , books in proportion to the number of chil dren of school .age in the district. For each child ten cents is allowed; Thus, in a school of 100 children, the sum of $10 may be applied for books, and upon proper application'" to the State Library Commission, books to that value will be forwarded. i Acting through the county auper intendent's office each district in Clatsop county made its proportion ate ' application, and the. books have just been received. Miss . Warren' office in the county court house yes terday looked like a small library, as there were, perhaps over 400 vol ume there. These will now be sent to each district, each school getting the books that had been ordered for it. The books for the Astoria schools were sent direct to Superintendent Clark's office. He has $268.30 worth there, and in a short time will prop erly distribute them among the var ious city schools. The little country school that has only 10 or IS children naturally does not get many booksbut the few it does receive in this way make a fine nucleus for a larger library, and it is said the volumes arc most Wei come in the districts. An inspection of the books in Miss Warren's office yesterday showed some most excel lent ones, volumes that will gladden the hearts of , many a boy and girl. This is the third distribution made by the State. ""' While some of the volumes order ed and all are ordered from a cata logue prepared by the Library Com mission are along- the lines of school studies, dealing with geo graphical or historical matters,' for example, on the other hand a major ity of the volumes in Miss Warren's office are distinctly away from the school room studies. . , . , "Robinson , Crusoe" had been or dercd by several schools; half a doz en of the "Black Beauties" had also been ordered, and what child," or man or woman, that has ' not been charmed by that beautiful tale of a horse. Kipling's "Captain Courag eous," was also there, and so was an abridgment of "Don Quixote." R. I Stevenson' , "Treasure Island" also appears to be a favorite. These will serve to illustrate the kind of books that are ordered for the libraries, and one can imagine with what avidity they, will be read by the young folks. 5 : " '".";' . A copy of "Plutarch's Lives an abridged edition, was., also among them, and one noted that it was ex ceedingly poorly bound, - so poorly that it looked j as if tit would not stand Jhe least bit of rough usage. On the ocntrary, some of the volumes were fairly well bound, but the ex ceptions were painfully apparent. r I' . - v( 'a m f(( j) - I !!'

Among Astoria Friends-- ' ' CaptaM Charles Johnson, of Nel son's Lagoon, on the Alaska Fenin' sula, about 200 miles north -of Uni mak Pass, and immediately inland from the spot where the American ship John Currier went ashore last year, is in the city on a visit with the multitude of ' friends he possesses here.;. He .was mainly . instrumental n aiding and caring for the officers and men and passengers of the Cur rier and rendered the charter "com pany, the Alaska Fishermen's Pack ing Company,; of this city,f invaluable assistance in that unfortunate prem ise. SpeaTcing of his habitat up there, tie reports that his salting industry in very satisfactory shape and that hevand his partners are doing fairly well. He alluded to the fact that this season Jie has run across dozens of aalmon bearing a hatchery stamp on their tales, about the size of a small seal, from which the lettering has become obliterated and he was unable to trace their source. Captain Johnson has been identified with the fishing interests in and out of As toria for many years and is known the length of the Pacific Coast in this relation. He was one of the men behind the first of the deep-sea fish ing ventures, out of. this port and carried it on successfully so long as his company held together. He was also one of the first to go into the Alaskan seas for salmon being ' a member of the company that sailed hence in the early "eighties" on the Polar Bear, for the old Fishermen's Packing Company of Astoria. Mrs. Johnson is visiting with friends in Portland, and will not return to the north with him next season on ac count of her impaired health. completed, and in excellent shape, 14 feet wide and rocked, and when the route is finished, it promised to be one of the feature roads - of the county. Captain Parker says there is all sorts of railway activity down Tillamook way and the people very sanguine. When he- left HobsonvilSe, there were ten vessels bar-bound in the " bay loaded - both; yway ; the coast. A bad hill-slide occuired on Monday last, which swept a steam shovel and a number of dirt cars off the line and into the bay, occasion ing some sharp loss to the contrac tor in charge, but there is no let-tap in the work anywhere. and nurses,, for he bears his burdta cheerfully, - quite . cheerfully indee J for a boy of his age. But today expected to be a red-letter day for the lad. Some time this morning the doctor has promised him that he will have at chance to try to walk c crutches, and this means" m;icb "l one who has sat in a wheel chair or lain in bed for seven months. It h hoped that the boy will become qtJ:e strong and able to walk pretty frttf. ;.: ALE1 TAGG Ice Cream 25c. a Qt. FRESH CHOCOLATES, CANDIES, ETC.

No Democratic Rally An announcement that there would be a Democratic rally tonight with two prominent speakers from the metropolis proves to be er roneous. There will be no rally tonight, nor any at all for the na tional campaign. This authoritative statement was made last night at Democratic headquarters. Evidently the belief obtains among the local "unterrified" that the voters in and around Astoria have already made up their minds just how they intend to vote and that a rally would not do any good. While the Republicans had intended to enliven the campaign with speeches and a little red fire, they too, apparently, are willing to let the matter stand a3 it is, evident ly believing that Astoria and Clatsop county are quite safe. Came Over The Trail Captain E. B. Parker returned yesterday from the Nehalem coun try, coming out over the trail on horse back. He reports the new road from Seaside to Carnie Mountain progressing in fine shape, with one and one-half miles of the six. con tracted to be built by John Holm, Teacher Is Secured .... Miss Charlotte ". Church ' of ; Port land ha been employed to teach the new school which is to be opened in the Necanicum district. The services of Miss Cfiurch were secured by Miss Warren, the county superin tendent, and she comes with most "excellent credentials. She has had experience and has a first grade cer tificate. The school pays well and the term is for eight months. Ne canicum very evidently is not going to be backward in school matters. The new building is to be dedicat ed in a day or two, and Miss Warren will leave today to attend the exercises. A Happy Time For seven months Charlie Johnson, 14 years old, has been at St. Mary's hospital suffering from a hip disease which has not permitted him to walk. Charlie is a favorite with the sisters Registration ' - At 3 o'clock yesterday afteraoca the total registration amounted to 832. This is considered a fairly gooJ registration before the primaries. For the past few days the voter have been coming in very slowly, but after the primaries are over tt s presumed the registrations will come in rapidly. By precincts the regis tration is as follows: .First precinct, 90; second," 47; 'third, 96; fourth, 217; fifth, . 1S0;; sixth, 113; seventh, 89. Many At College- , According to a statement made by a lady who is quite familiar wills such matters, there are now 21 younj men from Clatsop county attending the Agricultural College at CorvaBIs and this is considered quite an ex cellent record for this section.
