Donnelly, wharfinger at the Lurline dock has a burden in the shape , of a big handsome black and white bird dog "which followed Sheriff Pomcroy in from, the Lewis & Clark country on Sunday, and shook that officer for Donnelly as soon as he saw him. The animal is part Llewellyn, and has been home raised and is evidently a valuable animal, but no one about the city seems to recognize him. Donnelly will care for him until he .hears from his master if he doesn't' delay too long. ''''.:. RAUT ! Home Made 10c Per Scholfield, "'Mattsbri & Co.

Father O'llarinow attached to the Roman Catholic cathedral, at Portland, and a profound student of the education al systems and curriculums of this and the old country, will deliver a ilccMre In this city, on the evening of NVvembcr 23rd, upon the subject, "Aims and Ends of Education." Few mert ,afe better qualified to handle such a topic with more absorbing in- Teachera' Meetings , Teachers' meetings will be held In the office 'of the superintendent, A. L.

The object of the meetings is to discuss the work generally and ascertain"1 how things are "going 'In he-grades: " !. Will Appeal- j Notice has been filed ; with the county board of equalization that various owners of unimproved lots in the cUy will appeal from the action of the board in refusing to lessen the assessment from $2 a lot. Hereto fore' the assessment had always been $1 a lot and some of the owners of many of these wild-cat lots aver that "the assessment should no be above the $1 rate. The appeal lies tJ 4he circuit court. There is some slight chance that an effort will be made by some to endeavor to uphold the assessor and the board in the $2 assessment. Hot Drinks ! t Coffee and Chocolate. KRAUT Sour Kraut Qy art W tAer I team or Fifty-Day Trip A. W. Long, inspector in the Immigration Department's office in this city, has returned from New Vork, whither he went on official business about the middle of Septem ber last He enjoyed the outing and returned via Southern Oregon and California. While in the East Mr, Long visited his old ; home in Pennsylvania. - ", j t ;' Here From Portland Arthur Imhoff, of Portland, form erly.a well known young citizen of Astoria, was in the city on Sunday, on matters of business, Mr, Imhoff said that the marble cutting indus try he represented had changed "its title and personnel so that il; now reads, "Imhoff & Dorcas" instead of Imhoff & Minor fit heretofore. Mr. Imhoff returned to the metropolis on Sunday night. , Former Astorian Joseph Meyer, the manager and coach for the Portland eleven that played the Fort Stevens huskies on the A. F. C. gridiron on Sunday afternoon, is well ; and favorably known in this city, having, at one time, been advertising and circulat ing manager for the Morning As torian, He hated to do it to the soldier boys in his old town,' but "needs must when a bunch like his drives." Back From Seattle U. S'. Senator Charles W. Fulton has returned from Seattle whither he went to deliver an address in the in terests of Judge Taft. He had an audience on Saturday evening of over 2000 people, and the Armory, in which building he spoke, was almost inaccessible owing to the cut-up con ditions of the streets about it; but the people swarmed to it, and never left till he uttered his concluding word. Election Betting- While the dispatches from the east state tliat the odds are overwhelm- ngly in favor of Taft as against Bryan, with some takers at 8 to 1, yet in Astoria there is more talk of betting than of actual wagering. One or two men did quite a. bit of talking on the streets yesterday about betting for Bryan, yet they carefully avoided putting up money. While there has been an unusual apathy in Astoria and Clatsop coun ty during the entire camapign, 6till a pretty good-sized vote is looked for. The state democratic committee at Portland have listed Clatsop to go for Bryan by a small majority. It looks as if it will go for Taft by a pretty big majority. Wants The Theatre- Action was comemnced in justice court yesterday by E. M". Baker against Al Hager, lessee of the Ha ger theatre, to secure possession of the property. The suit is one of "forcible entry and detainer." Mr. Hager has the theatre under a lease and he wishes to retain possession, as apparently the proposition is a paying one for him, but the owner avers that he has no rightful posses sion under a proper lease and is trying to get him out. Recently an action of replevin was brought by the owner to get possession of the seats and other fixtures of the place, but Mr. Hager gave a large bond pending the hearing of that action, and now in this second suit he will have to defend his right to have the property at all The Irving Slide Several of the city officials ; made . . . . O.I V .' t I - an investigation ot tne Irving suae yesterday and found it in very bad shape. Several of the houses at the foot of the embankment have al ready been vacated, and day by day the conditions grow wrose. Yester day one man who owns hi3 home on the west side of Eighteenth street showed the officials that the land there has become somewhat affected and the foundations of his house are warped and twisted. It seems as if the property owners will have to do something to protect themselves, in asmuch as the city attorney has ad vised the Common Council that the city cannot rightfully interfere in the matted A petition is being prepared whereby it is planned to have the property owners agree among them selves to permit the imposition of an assessment district over their lands to pay for such work as may be necessarily done.

C. grounds Sunday be tween the Portland Catholic Asso ciation eleven and the boys from Fort Stevens. The Portlanders took the honors, and all hands, including the patrons, took the deluge. It was gamey game, alright A Treat In Store The committee in charge of the Elks' memorcial service, in this city, is authority for the pleasant news that the orator of that day has been chosen"and that Hon.' Cicero 'M. Idleman, the prominent Portland at torney, and ex-Attorney-General of the State, is the man. Those who know Mr. Idleman's splendid gifts in this line will be glad to hear of the selection, and will not miss the Occa sion if they can help it. ; - . License Deferred 4 ; The committe on police of the common .council last night failed to report favorably the petition of C. J. Bertelson for a renewal of his saloon license on Commercial street. It ap pared that one of the members of r the committee refused to sign a re port favoring the granting of the li cense, on the grounds that Bertleson had been in trouble more than once and that a case is now pending against htm in the courts. The mat ter drew forth a heated discussion for a few moments. It is perhaps probable that the license will be granted later. Down From The Capital Hon. William H. Holmes, one of the leading attorneys of the State, and who dwells at the Capital City, spent Sunday in Astoria, the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Raphael Bon ham, at her Sixth street home. Mr. Holmes is partial to Astoria in many ways and always has a kindly word for the City-by-the-Sea. : He says that Salem is building steadily and will soon have the T handsomest streets in the Northwest, when they get through laying bithulic pave ment. Salem has erected 324 new cottage homes since the beginning of the year and plenty more are un der contract. Over From Raymond Charles Wirkala was in the city over Sunday, returning to Raymond yesterday morning. He came over for an outing and to meet Mrs. Wirkala who has been here for some days on a visit with friends, and who will remain for several days more. Mr. Wirkala says that Raymond suits him exactly; that it is moving along rapidly and substantially and now has 2500 people. Big and little, there are 16 milling and manufacturing plants in operation there now, with other ventures seeking a foot-hold. The rule of the people over there has been to give every man and company seeking entry in Raymond a site for the business they bring, and if the site is not directly on the railway or the waterfront, the community builds a railway spur into the works when they are ready for business, and Mr. Wirkala says "you can't stop a town with that sort of spirit, no matter what you do." And he's right! Subscribe to the Morning Astorian. 60c per manth by mail or carrier.
