Poliitcs Quiet
lAftcr the activities of the preced

comparative inactivity of ,, yciterday
itemed noteworthy. The candidates
ere not in evidence, either, to any
extent, and there were few rumors
or talcs. Naturally the story in the
Astorian' in .reference to the former
ownership of the Astoria Herald at
tracted much attention. The story
was so well written and so inherently
interesting that its apparent modesty
and' lack of emphasis really made ft
nil the more Impressive. : ) .'.

Misa Short's Recital
Not often has there been a more
delightful musical evening in Astoria
that the pipe organi recital last night
at Grace EpUcopal Church. With this
diflicult instrument Miss Carrie
Short, the organist, accomplished
much and won praise from all who
had the pleasure of hearing her. tn
every way the evening was a decided
success. In point of attendance there
was nothing to be desired, for the
church was literally crowded, and
chairs were placed In the aisles to
seat all. The program did not drag.
The isnglng of Mrs. A. A. Finch and
of Mr. William Gratke wai especially
good, also, and aided much in the
evening's success, while the choir
gave fine assistance. The recital was
given under the auspices of St. Ag
nes Guild. Miss Short is assistant
organist at Trinity church in Port
land. Hot Drinks

Ha4 a Sorry Wait-
, The evening train for Portland
that left here Thanksgiving night
was dvlayci! near Clifton by the de
railmvtit of a flat-car on a freight
train, and the pcngcr did not get
into Portland until about 2:30 o'clock
ycntcrday morning. There were about
200 persons on the train, many of
them from Astoria, and it was a long
and dreary wait, while the flat-car
was': Wing replaced on the rails.
Everything wss dark and quiet when
the pasKiigcrs reached Portland,
with no cars running and no hacks
in sight.
Word of Warning,
' According to a member of the
board of police commissioners an or
der was sent to the police' depart
ment directing the members of the
force to keep out of the political
activities in any offenive way. Those
who complained a week "or two ag')
in this respect stated that there were
only one or two against whom any
complaint could be made. Reports
yesterday indicated that the word of
warning by the commissioners may
not have reached the ears of the one
or more for whom it was especially
intended. Apparently the various
municipal employees are pretty well
divided in their political allegiance
this year.
Explains the Excess
Councilman George Kaboth, who
is chairman of the committee on the
gre department, utts that the ex
cess of expenditures over the appro
priation may be easily explained.
The budget set apart about $12,000
for the fire departure; by the end of
the year the total expenditures will
approximate $17,000, an excess of
$5000. Mr, Kaboth yesterday said
that there is $1000 worth of oats and
other provender on hand, purchased
recently because there had been an
excellent chance to get it cheap.
This may be counted as an asset. In
addition to this the repairs on the
two fire engines aggregated about
$1600 more. This accounts for two-
thirds of the excess. At , all events
Mr. Kaboth put up a very cheerful
talk in explanation.
