Petitions ' . '
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

, . 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.

"ASTORIA'S RELIABLE CLOTHIER."
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.

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.
