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.

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. Mr. Durham will take

will conduct it as a first-class place.
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.
Committee Appointed
President Scholfield of the Chamber
of Commerce today appointed th;5

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."
