enteenth street hill on s brand new
sled presented him the evening be
fore, the swift little vehicle slewed
badly and threw the boy heavily
against the curb, breaking both bones
in his left fore -arm. The limb was
set by Dr. O. B. Estea, and the suf

of sport, St least for the present. '

Informed that Messrs. John Nelson

River, both of whom wre deeply in
terested in the late lamented oil ven
ture over there, are now In Casa Ver-
dugo, California, which place is in the
heart of the oil-bearing region of that
country,. They are evidently looking
into the processes and methods in
that industry there, and (may profit
handsomely by their experience when
they return to their own holdings on
the Washington shore of the Colum
bia. ,

Will Extend Business
Mcn'ifi, Uirch Sc Jacohson, the werll f
known contractors, have 'concluded
that their business is growing at such
a rate and in such directions, as to
make it essential that they build anl
maintain a fully equipped pilcdriver.
And to this end they are now con
structing a first-class machine, the
barge of which will be 60 feet lon
and 21 feet wide. The work is going

$3000 film of the Tathe-freres" make
and is shonw only on the day of re
lease in New York, Chicago, here, or
wherever produced, -4t is the most
perfect thing of the kind ever seen
This is amplified by another fine film
the "Cave of the Spooks", also
colors; and a famous bit of humor
called "Old College Chums," th
three making as interesting exhibi
tion as was ever seen here.
Leading Democrat Here
Hon, Alec Sweek, of Portland, was
In the city for a few hours yesterdav,
accompanied by his friend and client,
A. Mays, of San Francisco. Mr.
Swcek passed the woid that he "wa
out of politics" at present, and wa
evidently seeking earnestly for th
tangible, actual reason for the over
whelming defeat of his party in the
late presidential campaign, Tber
were any number of plausible ac
countings offered him by willing and
well-posted people here, but he waiv
ed them all aside is "irrelevant and
immaterial" and is still hunting the
real cause. He has s host of friend
in this city who are always glad to
see him. The gentlemen left un fo-
the metropolis on the evening train.
Ia Probate Court-
In probate court yesterday the final

was still in the executor's hands, be
emially distributed among the six
heirs as provided for in the will,
some of them being in .Fayal, Azores
Islands. Their shares were ordered
sent to the American consul at that
place. An order was also made ap
proving the final account of the ad
ministrator in the estate of L K. G
Smith, declaring the estate settled
and discharging the administrator.
In the matter of the guardianship of
the estate and person of Charles
Danford Warren, it was ordered that

The Lesson Lives
The Columbia River Sun, at hand
yesterday contains the following: "AH
that was mortal of Madeline Long
taine, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Jos. Longtaine, was brought to Cath-
lamet Monday and intered in the
Woodmn cemetery on the hill near
town. The services, conducted by
Rev. Dr. Miller, took place in Red
men hall and the building was filled
to overflowing with friends of the
family and the deceased girl. Rev.
Millers words were of the most con
soling character and the exceptional
ly sad and solemnly sweet songs ren
dered by the choir caused many a
heartache in the, large audience, and
few dry eyes were in evidence. The
songs, 'Beyond the River,' 'Some
Place the Sun is Shining,' and 'Rock
of Ages' were beautifully rendered
by the choir composed of Gertrude
Congd'on, Clarence ' White, Charles
Boylan and Mrs. C M. White. The
pallbearers were Rufus and Ralph
Elliott, Theodore and RichardNassa,
Joe Souvenir, Jr., and Roy White.
Mr. and Mrs. Longtaine and family
have the sympathy of the whole com
munity in their extreme sad loss."

County Court ' t
The three members of the county
court, . Commissioners Frye and
Moore and "Judge Trenchard, held a
session of the court yesterday, after
their week's trip of investigation of
road conditions out in the Nehalem
Valley. The following special levies
were examined and approved: Lewis
and Clerk No. 5, 10 mills; Knapp No.
10, 8 mills; Blind Slough No. 16, 8
mills. Sheriff Pomeroy's report . of
the tax roll for 1907 was read and
pproved, the court remarking that
the reported delinquency "of only
$69.71 speaks well for the taxpayer
and for the work in the sheriff's
office." , The surety bond of the
county assessor for $5000 was ap
proved. Resignation of Wm. Wort
man, supervisor of the New Astoria
road district, was acf epted and C. M.
Mckula appointed in his place. The
court adjourned until December 30,
when it will receive and act upon
special road levies. J
