familiar wilh the construction of the
building ay the crack came because

when put in, and other y they
resulted .imply from the natural el
ding of the building.

sive. Under the newest circular
providing for these shipment out of
Portland over the Astoria & Colum
bia River Railroad line, for instance,
the day is Wednesday for receiving
and the shipment goe forward the
following day. This I for less than
carload lots for Astoria. Broken
shipment for Seaside and Ft. Stev
en will only be handled under spe
cific instruction in each case, since
the company does not maintain an
exclusive freight train . service be
tween Portland and those point. The
matter is of interest not only to the
shippers and dealer in this danger
ous "stuff, but to the general public
there being' no wide knowledge that
such rules were existence in this
relation. "

UPOJi DiSCOVERY-
DEPUTY FISH WARDEN MACK
ON TRAIL OF THOSE CAST
ING SAWDUST IN RIVER.
Deputy State Fish Warden W. A.
Mack ha been apprised for touietime
of the promiscuous violation of the
taw forbidding the casting of tawdust
and lumber waste into the Columbia
river and i keeping a keen watch on
the people and place suspected of

caught be intends to prosecute the
matter to a finish. Speaking yester

"I desire to call the public's atterf-
tion to the following law, being Sec
tion No. 4086 of 1905 fishing law of
Oregon, and to state that all viola
tors of said law will be prosecuted;'
"'Sec. 4086. It shall be unlawful
for any proprietor or operator of any
sawmill or other manufacturing con
ccrn or of any pulp mill, wood-saw,
or other wood-sawing or manufactur
ing concern in this State, or any em
ployee thereof, or any other person,
to cast sawdust, planer shavings or
other lumber waste, or suffer or per
mit such sawdust, shavings or any
other waste to , be thrown or dis
charged in any manner into any wat
ers flowing into the Pacific Ocean
within this State, or other waters of
thi State, or the Columbia River, or
to deposit the same, where high wat
ers will take the same into any such
waters or the Columbia River. Any
person or persons, firm, or corpora
tion, violating any of the provisions
of this section shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon convic
tion thereof shall be fined in the
sum not less than 50 nor e than
five hundred dollars and costs for
each and every offense.'

"Deputy Fish Warden." ,
He said, further, this means any
person allowing , or permitting any
sawdust or other lumber waste to be
thrown or discharged into any water
of this state.: ;, . , i
Weather Report-j-
According to, the weather sum
mary for the month of November at
North Head, a compiled by J. J. Kel-
liber, the weather man at that point,
the highest temperature during the
month was 61 degrees and the low
est 37, the average being 51 degrees.
This is a slightly higher average
temperature than has occurreddur
ing the. past six years. The total
precipitation for the month was 5.39
inches, with no snowfall This is the
lowest November rainfall at North
Head for the past six or seven years,
except in 1905, when there was only
a little over three inches. The pre
vailing direction of the wind was
southeast, with an average hourly
velocity of 20.3 miles, and with the
greatest " velocity on November 19,
when the wind blew 85 miles an hour
from the southeast. There were six
clear days during November, and
eight partly cloudy, and 16 on which
there occurred a trace or more of
rain. Five frosts were reported dur
ing the month, three of them light,
and a killing frost on November 26.
Mr. Kellihcr's report does not seem
clear on the question of tempera
tures, though perhaps a mistake has
inadvertantly ' crept in." His lowest
temperature is 37 degrees, on No
vember 26. The ordinary person un
derstands that frost does not come
until the thermometer shows at 32
degrees Fahrenheit, while Mr. kelli-
her s tables show five degrees above
this. Perhaps the weather man will
explain this to the uninitiated.
"THE DEVIL,"
With the Ervin Blunkall Cmpany
who will appear in Astoria on Sun
day, December 6th, in the extraordi
nary play surnamed the "Devil",, will
be found one of the , most talented
leading ladies who has entered . for
first position in the haU of famous
historians, with a graceful presence, a
well-bred manner and all the evidence
of the lady born in. her every action,
Miss Warda Howard, the daughter
of a celebrated college professor,
plays the leading part, round which
the Devil and all his human agents
seem bent on leading witherward in
to the morass of eclipse, lured by the
ignis fatus with his twinkling star,
that has lured to destruction so many
millions before. ' Mr. Blunkall and
Miss Howard are supported by peo
ple' who were specially picked to'play
their parts so a good performance
may be expected.

REGISTRATION; CLOSES
THIS AFTERHOOfi c:
STILL COMING IN SLOWLY
DESPITE GREAT IMPORT
ANCE OF ELECTION
At the dose of the registration last
night in the office of the city auditor
the total number of names down on
the books was 1566. Today is the
last one to register. Those voters who
have not registered by 4 o'clock this
afternoon will have lost their right
to vote at the' municipal election on
December 9.
So important is "the election to ev
ery resident and taxpayer that it
seems somewhat odd that the total
registration is not greater than it is.
On every side is heard the expressed
belief that the very prosperity and
future of the city are at stake, and
yet there appear to be some men
who are not taking enough interest
in the City's welfare to even vote.
Nevertheless if approximately 1000
more register today the total will ap
proach somewhat nearly the number
that might be expected. By precincts
the registration up to last night was
as follows:
No.
