in what manner. If it be determined
that the work shall be gone ahead

Police Court
City Auditor Anderson yesterday
prepared a statement of the business
(done by him during the month of
December as police judge. There was
taken in during the month the sum of
$192.50 in fines and forfeitures. He
also reported that he had received
$175.50 as rent for the steamer roller,
and $74 on the cemetery. During the
year there was taken in on fines and
forfeitures the pretty big sum of
$2434.50 and this may be looked up
on as the earnings of the Astoria
police court. It is evidently a paying
institution. At the commencement of
the year 1908 it was estimated the in
come from the police court would be
$1800, but the actual income exceeded
this by over $600.

Dr. Peacock's Cltiienship
Dr. Peacock, of Cathlamet, was in
the city yesterday, on a business trip
and a reporter for the Astorian haz
arded an inquiry of him as to the
mooted question of his citizenship
which has lately been attacked by
parties in that snug little city. The
doctor at first demurred, but finally
responded to the effect that he "had
been in America ever since he was
18 years of age, or 21 years in all; that
he had declared his intention to be
come a citizen of this country in 1902;
that he had taken out his final papers
in this behalf last March, and if that
did not constitute American citizen
ship he was at a loss to recognize his
own status." The reporter, knowing
of no further qualifications that might
better the situation was compelled to
admit the doctor was pretty much of
a citizen.

Get In And Boost
The Astorian is authorized to an
nounce that the Astoria Clay Pro
ducts Company, of this city, is about
to increase its capital stock in order
to make certain essential improve
ments and out the enterprise upon a
succesful operating basis. The com
pany hsi contended successfully with
very many discouraging facts and fea
tures, and this movement is conceded
to be the right thing to do; and this
being the case it is up to Astorians
to boost good and plenty, in order
that the city may the sooner have the
benefits accruing from such an active
and promising venture.
Cozy New Theatre
C. C. Chapman, formerly well
"known as with the Chicago Dentists
yesterday evening opened a new and
pleasant venture in the shape of a
handosme little moving picture house
known as the "Bungalow," one door
west of the Foard & Stokes Hard
ware Company on Commercial street
near Fourteenth. The house was
crowded last night, and the first run
of films was a bright and interesting
one. The house is thoroughly well
appointed and very comfortable.
Three Fine Plays
Astoria is to be treated to three of
the finest play on the road, during
the coming week. Manager Hanlin be
ing fortunate enough to present Miss
Florence Robert in "The House of
Bondage," The Great Divide,"
and "Babes" in Toyland," noth
ing finer having been seen this
Theatre. As these three great .spectar
cles represent three distinct and able
managements, it behooves the people
here to attend in crowds, in order that
such other fine things as these people
may have en route to the coast, may
be sent here without question.
Mr. McCue Busy
Says the Portland Telegram last
inight: "Consolidation of the State
ment No. 1 Representatives and the
attempt to withdraw John C. McCue,
of Clatsop, as a candidate for Speaker
of the House are the two points in
teresting Legislators at present. The
McCue matter came up yesterday,
McCue is in a peculiar position for
the Statement men would like to have
his support and that the McArthur
people want McCue out of the race,
hoping to secure McCue's assistance.
Mr. McCue came up from Astoria for
New Year's and has had a busy time
with the politicians. His activity has
only been equalled by that of State
Senator Jay Bowerman, who wants to
preside over the deliberations of the
Senate." . .

File Remonstrance
A communication was filed with the
city auditor yesterday by the Astoria
Savings Bank in relation to the im-
j provement being done on West Com
mercial street The bank complains
jthat as a result of this their property
on Bond street is sriously affected and
it is known that others in that vicinity
also are being more or less injured as
a result of the improvement. The
communication states: "The under
signed are owner of 100x100 feet,
corner of Bond and Second streets
and have been for the past 15 years.
The gTades were set and all improve-
Iments paid for years ago. In the last
year, the grades have been raised on
Commercial street some 40 feet there
by causing the whole country below
to begin to slide. Dirt has been
dumped in the street in front of our
property, our sidewalks are raising up
and unless the grade on Commercial
street is lowered to where it was orig
inally, our property and buildings will
be. a total loss. This property and
buildings cost some $6500. We would
ask that the honorable council take
some action at one to protect the
property holders in that vicinity."

STORY OF INTEREST.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2 Surg
eon C. F. Stokes, who was in com
mand of the hospital ship Relief, dur
ing the storm in which the vessel had
such a narrow escape from shipwreck
arrived in this city yesterday from
the Orient. Stokes tells a graphic
tale of the terrific battle which the
ship had with storm and fire. When
the ship was rendered practically
helpless by a typhoon fire broke out
and it was only after the most heroic
efforts by officers and crew that the
vessel was saved from complete des
truction. The surgeon declared that
the enlisted men of the hospital
corps on board the Relief proved
themselves fighting men of the first
water. Dr. Stokes denied the report
that there was friction on board the
Relief. In this connection he said:
"We passed through trials such as
few ships survive, and throughout it
all the discipline was perfect. In all
matters pertaining to the handling r-f
the ship Capt Lecain's judgment was
supreme and never at any time ques
tioned by me."
