Owner May Have Him
Ed. 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. ''''.:.

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.

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.

Sunday's Game
A good game, a meagre crowd, a
score of 8 to 0, and oceans of mud
and rain, were the chief characteris
tics of the football game played on
the A. F. 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!
