While there have been many war-,
Dints recently called by the city
treasurer, Mr, Dealey, people have
been slow in coming in to get their

Stained Their Gloves
The ladies at the Athletic Club
ball last night had their evening
glove stained by the blue ink of the
programs, and there wa many a
frnwn at the havoc wrought by the
ink on th white kids. Apparently
the ink bad hardly dried sufficiently
on ' the programs. Probably today
there will be more than one pair of
white glove iiven a lath n gasoline
or some other cleanser, though
printers ink makes a pretty bad mess
and one hard to clean off.
On Vagrancy Charges
Harry Kettering, a young man,
was fined $25 with the alternative of
12 day in Jail by Judge Anderson
yesterday on a charge of vagrancy.
Kettering is one of three young men
who are the proprietors of a res
taurant in the rear of the "Big
Swede's" saloon, though the police
aver that it is not really restaur
aaVbut A -only, a ""blind" to osten
sibly give the ' three " proprietors
some lawful occupation. Kettering
on the witness standi denied that
he is of the inaqucre.su. The "Big
Swede" testified that $15 a month
rent is paid for the room where the
restaurant : i run. " Police - Officer
Litiville testified that in the long time
that he ha been on that beat be has
eenonty two customer eat in the
restaurant How three young men
can inake an honest living out of a
restaurant whose business is as lim
ited as the police o nicer testified was
not explained. Vet the business must
pay, for Kettering paid the fine of
$23. . . ;. ,
Mr. Hcgardt Gone
G. B. Hegardt, the Portland civil
engineer whose services were secur
ed in an advisory capacity for the
Irving slide, las returned to Port
land. Mr. "Hegardt recommended
very strongly to the council that the
work of sluicing at the bottom, or
"toe," of the slide should be stopped
and not commenced again, as the
removal of dirt at the bottom natur
ally had a tendency to permit the
hillside to move farther down. ' Yet
this recommendation is not being
carried out, and perhaps the city
cannot control the situation ' even if
it wished to; Those who are trying
to save their modest homes at the
bottom of the hill are sluicing away
the toe" of the slide in an effort to
save their homes from being crush
ed. Thus the interests of the people
at the top and at the bottom of the
slide seem to be at variance on this
point, Another family was compelled
to seek other quarters yesterday as
the house had moved quite consider
able in the last three days, and was
considered unsafe.

Turkey Back East !
It may be a slight consolation to
the housewives of Astoria to know
that turkeys are high back east too,
at least in one place, t. Thirty cents
is the price here, and the Arkansaw
Traveler" laments the fact that in
that locality the prices dressed will
go up to la or i) cents, inc arutic
states: "According to U.. reports
Thanksgiving turkeys will, again this
season be' very high priced and not
within the reach of the pocketbook
of ordinary people. Dealers sty
they will have to pay from 12 to 14
cents for live turkeys, wniie aresseo
ones will retail at 18 to 20 cents as
Thanksgiving approaches." This
clipping was Taken from the "Arkan
saw Traveler" by the Rev. C. C.
Rarick, who learned the printing
business on that paper. ..

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 one of the Bab
bldge 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, i. And the "beauty
of the program lies in- the modest
charge of SO cents, which covers the
round-trip and both concerts; sure
ly the most reasonable charge ever
made for such a- generous1 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. I! I '
