Sailor's Sudden Death- Julius Peterson, a sailor on the steamer Eureka, while on her journey to the Columbia river Sunday, died on board ot the vessel as the result ot a hemorrhage.

Moneys Paid Out- City Treasurer Dealey yesterday paid out the sum of $1617.75 on gen eral fund warrants and $804 on street improvement warrants. There if still a considerable amount of money in the hands of the treasurer on which the warrants have been called and in terest stopped, for despite the official call of the warrants and the numerous allusions to the matter in the papers some of those who hold the warrants don't seem to want to get their money. One business firm that re ceived some of its money yesterdav seemed disposed to growl because the money had been lying there without earning them any interest, though tt is difficult to see what else could be done, unless the city treasurer would go in person and beg them to come to bis office and get their money. In Probate Court Upon the hearing of the final ac counting, in the matter of the estate of George Sievcrson in probate court yesterday it was ordered that the ad ni'mistrator pay over the balance of the funds in his hands, $774.75, less attorney fees and other minor charges to the sole heir, Theodore Sieverson In the matter of the estate of Conrad L. Anderson, the administrator, I. C. Anderson, showed a balance in his hands of $292.50 out of a total of $300. The expenses of administration as reported were $7.50. The hearing of the final account was set' for Feb ruary 1. In the estate of B. C. Byrd the funds still in the hands of the ad ministratrix were ordered paid to-the heirs, and the administratrix ordered to make report to the court. In the estate of Henrik Patree the final ac counting was approved and the ad ministrator discharged. The final ac count was approved and the adminis trator discharged in the estate of Abram Kallunki. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night the question of the election of officer for the ensuing year did not come up, though there had been . an understanding in the minds of some that it waa to be the anirii.il meeting and the occasion to select officer. The special committee appointed by President Scholfield, for the purpose of canvassing the financial situation and to make suggestions in relation to the officer for the coming year, did not make a report, either. It seems that the committee had not met, or taken any action and hence was un able to make a report. At the last meeting the Chamber voted for u:h committee to consists of five, but after the meeting it appears that some of the officials deemed it best to hav? larger committee and for that rea son nothing was done pending an in crease in the size of the committee. There was ome criticism expressed over the lack of action, though not applied particularly to any individual. However, it seems that there is no imperative haste required in studying the situation, as there are sufficient fund to carry on the work for sev eral months yet. President Scholfield announced in cidentally last night that it would be the last time he would sit as presi dent, as at the time of the next meet ing he will be in attendance upon the legislature at Salem. Several of the members appeared ti be in the mood to speak out in meet ing last night and one man wanted to know about the proposed oil com. pany, which has promised much for months. This member. Walter T Ingalls, thought be had been bilked little in the contract he had signed in relation to the oil company, as other bad been voluntarily given a more fa- orable contract. Mr. Ingalls wanted to know why... ' Because you must have looked easy,", was President Scholfield facetious explanation. Inasmuch as the Chamber had somewhat enthusiastically endorsed the project Mr. Ingalls apparently deemed his question still unanswered, One of the most interesting things at last night's session was the introdu tion of a proposed billfi which the Chamber was asked to endorse and present to the Oregon Legislature for passage into a law. This bill has been given publicity before in this city provides that "any county or town1 of the state may levy a special tax not exceeding four mills for advertising the county or town. Mr. Curtis, the attorney, was pres ent and pointed out that such a la would not be in harmony with the present laws of the state in relation to taxation, and the matter was sent back to the committee on laws for furher consideration. The passage of such a law would doubless prove be ' such an extraordinary departure from the settled laws of the land per taming to municipalities that perhap the whole effect of it can not readily be seen now, but some are disposed to think such a law would prove whollv evil and disastrous, while others see in it only an quitable means of making DON'T FORGET ' , , -:THAT;':'-' 'x HEATING STOVET You'll Heed It Soon.

It vat also announced that there is movement on foot to remove the two lighthouse tenders that now make their headquarter ' here to BclIinjT- am. The Chamber will jtrenuously feppose this, and B. Van Dusen and' others talked on the manifest injustice of any such a change. The commerce of the Columbia river imperative' demands the presence of the tender here. , . ; .- Manager Whytc stated that there are ir.any inquiries about the logged- ' lands. One concern has asked if it could get possession of a urg; tract. There have been about 300 let ters received in regard to logged-off lands.. The suggestion was made that the Chamber make an arrangement with 'iime reputable realty firm pf Seattle to become an agent for Astoria and Clatsop county lands, the idea being that much good could be accomplish- d i nthis way. Nearly all who come to Oregon first top off in Seattle. It wa also suggested that the same ar rangement .be made in Portland; and that it might be a good idea if a large lectric sign advertising Astoria were maintained at the Portland depot. Mr. Finlayson followed this up by go ing it one better. He suggested it might be a good plan to have a phon graph, or a man with a megaphone, tc meet all the Seattle trains, and either the man with the megaphone or the phonograph could then sing out the advantages of Astoria. Mr. Finlay son did not state whether he meant this facetiously or not, but the other suggestions seemed to meet whh favor. ' 1 Housecoats Bath Robes '. Fancy Vests Silk Reefers Suspender Sets Night Robes Pajamas Adair Drain The recent heavy rains have caused much trouble with the old Adair drain and i nseveral places it has broken in. The entire drain is said to be in such wretched shape that it no long-r carries off the streams of water that naturally collect in that basin, and ai result .the householders in that lo cality have suffered somewhat. Su perintendent of Streets Kearney has had men working there for several days past and the men were busy all day Christmas and Sunday. The rving avenue improvement in that section has also apparently caused some of the water' to find new chan nels, and this is the source of addi tional trouble. The councilman who made the famous statement in the council chamber at the last meeting about the sliding ground being all imaginary" would be highly, edified to meet some of the people down at 3Sth street and Irving, just for one slight example. "In one place," said Mr. Kearney yesterday, "the ground has three distinct movements east west and north." REALTY TRANSFERS W. C. Smith and wife to Albert J.

The produc tion was Hollis E. Cooley's triumph, borne out by a group of earnest, com petent people, none of whom failed at any point in the long and powerful story, one of the best ever written bv Augustus Thomas. . The house was about half-filled when it should have overflowed with an audience that would have been as pleased as were the few that saved the advantage of attending. There was a lesson in faithful work in this rendition 'of the famous play of the plains. There was an excellence main tained throughout that made it masterpiece and gratified everyone who witnessed it In point of pains taking, ardent and arduous work, no distinction may be made as among the 17 players in the cast Everyone gave a standard presentment of their in dividual work, the massing of it all contributing to one of the rarest en tertainments furnished here in many s day. ,.'.. . ik There were no delays, no hitches, n waits, no blundering; all was smooth and clean and alluring from beginning: to end, and the vigor and snap and resonant tone of the play was faithful ly sustained at every line and situi tion. : .-- Piles Cured In 5 to 14 Day PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, BSiod.
