Melville to Portland The Mayflower started up for Portland yeaterday with the steamer Melville of the Callendcr fleet in tow, and also with barge holding the big boiler that is to be placed in the Melville, on her haweere. It was found that there was no derrick (here capable of handling the big 23-ton boiler, it being necessary to lift it from the barge up into the Melville, and therefore the work Is to be done at the Willamette Iron Works in Portland. Contractor Lcbcck has the job of doing the work, and one of the ironies fit the aituation seems to be that the Willamette Cmpany also bid on the work, but failed to get the con tract. Expenae Account Fred Sherman, who was a candi date for the nomination for atreet superintendent, yesterday filed his expense account with the city auditor. Mr.. Sherman's bill waa not large, though he admitted having spent $.1 for cigars. One of the candidates who filed hie account stated, though not In his formal account, that he had bought a few drinks, but as he was accus tomed to do that anyway he saw no reason why he should look upon that as an expense for this particular occasion. Thus far there has not been a candidate who has stated that he spent any money for drinks, save the one who said he had spent a little money for "refreshments, solid and liquid. The campaign was a very dry one, evidently. SSav Parker Houae Leased The Parker Houae at the foot of Ninth stru t, one, of the oldest and bet known hoatclrics in the city, has been leased to John Durham of Asotin, Wash.

The bar and dining room will be kept open as usual, and the dining room will be run in connection with the hotel, Mr. Durham is an old hotel man who has had wide experience in running hotels, lie has recently been proprietor of the Hotel Ay res at Asotin. Seaside Truants The presence of the Dickie children from Seaside before Judge Trenchard yesterday on a charge of being Incor rigible brought forth the statement from one or more county officials that there have been a goodly number of children' in that town who have re quired looking after. There were 26 truants reported and Sheriff Pomeroy had to make several trips there before he could get them all "rounded up." While there had been a much larger number of 'truants reported , in this city, the number actually dwindled down to only about 25, and in nearly every one of thcfe cases the parents had what they deemed a good excuse for keeping the children out of school. There were none found here aimply running the streets, according to Police Officer Wilson, who did the "rounding up" for the Astoria schools. Company Inspection The first annual inspection of lb". Firt Company in the armory in I-'ard & Stkea' hall last night was evi dently quite a satisfactory one to ihe inspecting oflicer, James A. Jackson, colonel (retired) of the United States army.. Colonel J.-ickson had been specially detailed to make the inspec tion of the First Company and though the organization has had comparative ly little time to properly prepare it made a creditable showing. Colonel Jackson inspected the armory, the lockers, the arconticment; and then inspected the men in their drills. He also had the various officers put the men through drills, and finally gave the men an interesting and profitable talk. In January the company will be inspected by an oflicer from Fort Vancouver. There were present last night 66 men onj of the total of 73.

Athletic Club- While the Athletic Club house will not be formally Opened for the use of its members until New Year's, never theless the swimming tank, billiard tables and reading rooms are being used dally by a few who are eag to take up the advantages the place of fers. It really Is a sight well calculat ed to please the fathers and mothers of the city to observe how zealously the young men and boys take to the club, indicating how badly such a place is needed in Astoria. Prof. Van Riper, a physical instructor of excel lent training, and a man who comes finely recommended, nas been engag ed to take charge of the athletic aide of the organization. Mr. Fulton, presi dent of the club, Is now negotiating with W. A. Kinney of Portland, with the purpose in view of having Mr. Kinney become the clerk or general secretary of the Athletic Club. He is known to be a man of excellent abili ties along this line, and it is hoped that his services can be secured. A lot of the little "kids" have been hav ing great times the past two days in the swimming tank. Children Before Judge Clco Hickle and Dewey Hickle, the Seaside children who were accused of beintr Incorrigible, were brought to this city by Sheriff Pomeroy yester day morning' and taken before Judge Trenchard. The girl, Cleo, is 17 years old, and the boy a few years younger. Their mother, Mrs. Shafer, came up with them and made a strong effort to keep them from being sent to th Boys' and Girls' Home at Portland Bruno Menzel of Seaside, who made the original complaint, and J. E. Lo gan and A. E. Miller, Of Seaside, tes tified in regard to the character of the two. It seems that the boy had re cently broken into Mr. Menzel's bak ery and stolen a small amount of money. He admitted the whole thing to Judge Trenchard with boyish in genuousness. The girl has been work ing, but if seems that she does not get along very well with her step father, thought mother and daughter seemed to be on the best of terms. The gir! war also planning to go to the home of the relatives of her dead father. Judge Trenchard finally is sued an order committing the boy and girl to the home, but suspended sent ence with the distinct understanding that it will be enforced upon the very first renewal of the complaint of. any trouble caused by either Ueo or Dewey. No Road Levy In the Necanicum road district No. 14 the taxpayers have voted not to levy any road tax at all for the com ing year. According to a story that was told by a resident of that district yesterday, the vote not to raise any money at all for the district roads for the coming year is the outcome of a sectional feeling, though the merits of the matter may be open to debate. It seems that quite a number of years ago 14 Finnish families moved into the farther portion of the district, and according to this same authority these Finns worked early and late to make good roads to Seaside. Much of their work was done not near their ranches, but in the part of the district where others now reside. The road is now all complete, it is said, except near where the Finns are, but when it came to the town meeting the feeling mani fested itself and the Finns were out voted. They wanted to make a levy so that the road might be completed past their ranches. Such is one ver sion of the story, though there prob ably are two sides to it. Judge Tren chard yesterday said he was not in a position to speak on the matter prop erly, though he complimented the Finnish ranchers on what they had done, and said it is a policy of the county court to "help those road dis tricts that show a disposition to help themselves."
