He enjoyed the trip very much, ale fruit and picked flowers and had various automobile rides, but nevcrthrles was ghid to get back It Atoria, and his many friend" along the waterfront were just as glad to see hun biick. A Strong Eleven Word has been received by the As , toria High School football team that the Clatsop county team of the Agri cultural college at Corvallis, which is jto play here on New Year's day, re cently defeated the Corvallis Athletic Club's eleven, thus indicating that it is a strong aggregation. Walter Heck 'of Hammond, captain of the Corvallis 'college team, was not with them that I.ty, either, though he will play in the game here. , It looks as if the tw elevena should be fairly evenly match ed and the game ought to prove an interesting one. Booka Distributed . The books that were received from the state for uc in the public schools were distributed yesterday by Mr, Clark, , auperintendent of school. ,There were about 600 in all, end a certain number went to each school building. The state allows booka tj the value of 10 cents for each school child. They " are" not for school studies, but consist of volumes select ed by the school authorities," of fic tion, travel, and the like. Sewer Blockaded The sewer on Tenth street from about Exchange street to the water front has been badly blocked up for over a week past, and for two days city employee have been at work try ing to clean it out. Apparently it became clogged up with the loose earth and rock from the improve ments going on at the top of the hill, and probably has been slowly filling for a long time. The workmen are not finding It an easy task to flush it out. "FERNDALE", the quality butter. Are you using it? Ask you Grocer. Mr. Crang Resign Frank (.'rang, who has held the po sition of aiMiint superintendent of the water works for the past five years, has tendered his resignation to take place January 1. He then will take over the management of th? Union Oil Company's business in this city, Mr. Crang has become widely known as one of the water works employees and many will be glad to congratulate him on' getting what is presumably a better position. A Big Boiler What Is snid to be the largest boil er ever made In this city was yester day (iiken from the Astoria- Iron Works forihe steamer Melville of the Calender . Navigation Company. L. Lcheck, the contractor, has the job of moving the boiler, and yesterday t wa lowered onto a barge, and later will be lifted into the Melville by mean of a crane. It weighs about 23 tons, is 10.5 feet wide and 14 feet in length. Despite its great weight and unwieldy dimension only five men were required to handle it. Coming From England As a result of enquiries he made to the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, George Perkins, of Leeds, England, I coming here very shortly to look into the matter of establishing himself in business. It is understood that his father and brothers are engaged in the manufacture of woolen goods In Leeds, and there seems to be an ex cellent chance for a similar nianufae tury here. It is probable there is no woolen factory in Oregon, and yet the market for such goods in the north west naturally would be very large, while 'the sheep ranges are also near. Eighth Street Superintendent of Streets Kearney has caused a layer of clashed rock to be placed in the center of Eighth street up on the hillside, where its condition is worst. The thoroughfare has been in very bad condition there and farmers coming into town com plained that it was the only bad place they had to meet. The crushed rock, which is being placed in the middle of the street, is expected to leave the street in pretty good shape and seems to be the only practicable way to fix it up for the winter. Oregon Coaat Franchise It was intended to ask the common council at its meeting Monday night to again pass the franchise to the elec tric street ear company, but it was pointed out that it was not possible to revivify the first franchise and that it would be necessary to introduce a new one. This will be done at the next meeting of the council, w'licn a franchise exactly similar to the one first passed and later allowed to lapse, will be offered. The fact that the company is now in a hurry to secure the franchise and stands ready to put up the cash forfeiture seem to indicate that everything is in fine shape with the road and its finances.

They arc the step children of L. P. Shafer, of Seaside, the children' name being llickle. , Davy is the boy's name. lie is 13 years old. The girl's Christian name could not be learned here yesterday. She h 15 years. Complaint in relation to the boy and girl was made yesterday to Judge Trcnchard by Bruno Menzcl of Sea side, one of the merchants there. After listening to the facts of the mat ter as stated by Mr. Menzel Judge Trenchard issued a warrant for their arrest, They will be brought before Judge Trenchard for a hearing and if found to be incorrigible that they are 'said 10 be, will be tent to the Boys' and Girls' Detention Home in Port land. This is not the first time complaint has been made in regard to these children, it is said. Apparently they run wild and have become insolent to others. The complaint charges the step father, Shafer, with having no control of the boy and girl, and the same is said of the mother of the two. Old Ferry Goet When the old "Tacoma," the an cient ferry, has hauled the Northern Pacific train which leaves Portland Friday night, Over from Goble to Kalama, its days will have been num bered, for on Saturday morning the Korth Coast Limited, the crack N. P. train, will be operated over the Kalama-Vancouver extension and the North Bank bridges into Portland. Thereafter all Northern Pacific trains will run via Kalama and Vancouver. The old ferry boat will not go imme diately to the boneyard, for it is the announced intention of the Northern Pacific to keep the Tacoma moored at Kalama for the next 60 days or so in case anything happens to the new and untried Kalama-Vancouver route. This road has been entirely rebuilt the whole 30 miles, and because of this fact the Northern Pacific running time will not be cut down until the new route has had a thorough trying out and the amount of delay occasion ed by the swinging of the drawbridges figured to a nicety. , - Debating Societies The High School debating societies, the Alfredian and the Wauregan, were to have held their try-out de bates tonight in preparation of their annual competitive meeting, but the farct that the Christmas vacation came two days earlier than had been an ticipated interfered with the debates scheduled for this date. It is prob able that they try-outs will now be held on the first Friday after school convenes after the holidays. Both societies will debate the question: "Resolved that the municipalties of the United States should own and operate their own public utilities." For the Wauregans the following will take the affirmative side: Laura Jef fers, Edwin Short, Gladys Graham, Laurence Dincen; and the negative side: Ernest Gustin, Edith. Ross, FrjJ Hardesty, Arthur Danielson. For the Alfredians the following will take the affiramtivc side Carl Thomas, Betsy Wooten, Fanny Gregory; for the neg ative side: Mary Kelley, Alice Reed, Alex Sigurdson. The competitive de bate between the chosen representa tives of the two societies will take place within several weeks ' after school convenes. .

This mill has been closed down for over a year, and it will be good news if the report of its opening is correct, as it probably is. J. W. Palmer is the president and general manager, of the mill. James T, Stoddard, the former secretary, is now out of the position and in his place is S. F. Owen. It is presumed that Mr. Stoddard has re tired from the company. If the West port mill opens up that will leave but one mill on the lower Columbia clos edthe Old Oregon mill at Warren ton, and it is again reported that this plant may also open up after the opening of the new year.
