Those Canvisbick Ducks
There is a funny little yarn going
the rounds inent i pair of plump
canvasbaek ducks, sent down on the
steamer Lnrline on Monday - night
by an up-river friend of a certain
well known jurist of this city; and
which by mischance, drifted into the
apartment of a popular traveling man
at the Hotel Northern, by. the same
name is the original donee, ind who
concluded that some kind friend had
been peculiarly solicitous for his
comfort, and promptly took the birds
over the Imperial restaurant and had
them deliciously cooked, subsequent
ly enjoying them to the last frag
ment, On his return to bis rooms, a
telephone call informed him that he
hid eaten another man's ducks, and
pained as the drummer was at the in-
advertance, he was compelled to ad
mit the impossibility of making good
on the error, and the incident closed
with hi departure the next morning.
The Saloon Men-
It was stated yesterday by one of
the saloonkeepers in the restricted
district that of 19 certain saloon
keepers there 12 are not - for Mr.
Smith for the mayoralty, but are for
the . Republican ticket. The state
ment made by certain of Mr. Smith's
followers that out of the 47 saloons
in the city at present, 31 are for the
Democrat nominee met with vigor
ous protest yesterday. First of all
it was denied that the saloons are
lined v.p for the Democrat, leader,
and moreover it was stated that the
saloon men are not mixing in -with
politics in any -effort to bring about
an open town. The intelligent men
seem to recognize the fact that this
would be storing up a wrath to come.
It looks as if the saloonmcn are go
ing to vote just as other intelligent
citizens and property owners do,
each lifter his own convictions.

TO HOLD THE COUNCIL
RESPONSiBLE
MR. WARREN FILES A COM
MUNICATION IN RELATION
THE TO IRVING SLIDE,
I'ornwu announcement was served
upon the city council yesterday by
F, L. Warren that he will hold the
city liable for the damages resulting
to his property from the Irving
slide. ,. - ,
This statement was filed with the
city auditor and will be presented to
the council at the next meeting of
that body. Mr. Warren states that
a part of his property has already
been "ruined," ind that there is
danger that the other lot and the
house upon it will also be ruined,
The communication is as follows:
"I desire to again call your atten
tion to the fill on Irving avenue in
front of and adjacent to lot 12. block
23, and in front of and adjacent to
DIock Z4, all in Shively's Astoria. As
you are aware, I am the owner of
the above-described property.
I he whole of said block 24 has
been entirely ruined, caused by the
unskilful, careless and negligent
manner of making such improvement
and the careless, negligent and un
skilful manner of making said fill.
Lot 12 in said block 23 has been
damaged in many thousands of dol
lars, and unjess immediate precau
tions are taken in a skilful and care
ful manner this lot will also be en
tirely ruined together with the build
ing on it.
"I therefore take this opportunity
to again notify you that I shall hold
the city of Astoria responsible for all
damages to said property heretofore
occurring, as well as all damages
tnereto that may herafter occur.
I trust you will take all necessary
means to prevent further damage.
This communication . from Mt
Warren was written on the letter
paper of Fulton Bros., the attorneys,
ho evidently ire acting for Mr.
Warren'i interests in the matter.
udging from the statements of city
officials and members of the council
nothing further is likely to be done
on any great scale to prevent dam'
age by the slide, except as one or
trto men may be kept there to keep
the sluices from filling up. While the
council has several times evinced a
desire to give aid in the trouble, no
clear way to do so seems to have
presented itself. That the Warren
communication ..indicates litigation
seems probable, and if the . state
ments of other property owriers may
be accepted as true, they also-ire
contemplating the same litigious
step. ;
Probate Court-
In probate court yesterday in the
matter of the estate of Abram Kal
tunki an order was made fixing the
time for hearing of the final account
ing by the administrator, Walter
Kallunki, on , December 28., Final
hearing in the estate of Henrik Pat
ree was also set for December 28. In
the matter of the estate of Daniel
Cronk an order was made approving
the final account of the administra
tor, A. E. Cann, and ordering the
estate settled.' The same order was
also made in the estate of Fannie C.
Cronk, of which A. E. Cann was also
administrator. Mr. Cann was ' dis
charged as administrator in both
these matters, his duties having end
ed. In the estate of James E. Camp
bell, Sam E. Harris, administrator,
an order was made approving the
final accounting, settling the estate
and discharging the administrator.
In the estate of B. C Byrd an order
was made fixing the time for the
hearing of the final accounting.
Athletic Club V (
At a special meeting; of the Ath
letic club directors last night the
question of the eligibility of some
four or five applcants was consider
ed, and it. is understood that a cer
tain few have been considered, and it
is understood that a certain few have
been rejected for reasons that were
deemed proper. The meeting of the
dirctors was held with Mr. Prael, in
the office of the Astoria Box Com
pany. The directors ' appoved , the
purchase of the billiard and pool
tables made by the committee on
furnishings, and also of the purchase
of the corpets and other furnishings.
So deep has been the interest taken
in the establishment of the club by
many citizens that on every side
have been heard words of encourage
ment, and many have even gladly
donated money. It was stated last
night by one of the directors that
the aggregate sum of $750 has been
donated, a considerable portion of
which came in $50 checks. Much of
this came from people who will not
personally use the athletic club, but
who felt that an institution which
meant so much for the youth of the
city should be encouraged.

Splendid Concert Excursion
On Thursday morning at 10
o'clock there will leave this city for
Skamokawa and Cathlamet, one of
the most interesting excursions of
the year, under the auspices of the
Norwegian Singing Society. That
fine body of singers accompanied
and assisted by Miss Esther Sund
quist, as violin soloist, will charter a
steamer (probably bne of the Bab
bidge fleet) and will give the first of
two splendid concerts, at Skamo
kawa, at 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon, going thence to Cathlamet in
time to- repeat the concert there in
the evening and return home within
reasonable hours. . And the , beauty
of the program lies in the modest
charge" of 50 cents, which covers the
round-trip and both concerts; sure
ly the most reasonable charge ever
made for such a generous deal. It
cannot possibly fail of patronage
under the circumstances of the ex
ceptional talent indicated, the -prime
outing the trip affords, and the re
markable and modest price quoted,
and the manifold pleasures it prom
ises. LOST
