i'wns made approving the ft si I account'
ing of the adminiMrator of the estate
of llalvor Jeldnesa. An order was aluo
made appointing Mrs, Mary J, Bald
win as guardian of the entitle of Lloyd
, Vernon linker. The will of the late
; William M. McCain was admitted to

property to Nellie, If. Quinn, who was
alio appointed executrix. C. F. Mc

."Dad" Brown Home
"Dad" Brown, who has been so
journing down in California for a
period of a little over a month has
returned to Astoria and has reported
for duty on the custom house launch
Patrol He spent most of his visit at
Fresno. 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.

SHERIFF GOES AFTER
TWO GH1LDREE,
IIICKLE BOY AND GIRL OF
SEASIDE SAID TO BE IN
CORRICIBLES. , Sheriff Pomeroy went to Seaside
last evening for the purpose of taking
two little children, a boy and a girl,
into custody as incorrigible children.
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. .

Mill May Open
From a reliable source it is learned
that the Wcstport Lumber Company's
mill, at Westport, is likely to open
soon after the first of the new year.
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.
