For Forty Days Councilman Leinenweber has filed communication with the city audi tor for presentation to the council asking leave of absence for 40 days, lo that he may attend the state legis lature as one of the representatives Irom this county. Not Certain, But Probable There are those here who intimate that Carl Frsnseen, of this city, now up in Boise, Idaho, is detained there on a very pleasant and urgent errand and that there ia likelihood of his re turning soon accompanied by his wife, but those who intimate this are bit shy about conftrlmng It, and it Is mentioned here at that face value ml no more. Petition To Improve A second petition has been made to the city council in relation to the Improvement of Thirtynlnth street, the first one not having been acted upon as yet. A petition just filed asks that if the council wilt not order the improvement In the manner re quested in the first petition that it grade to a width of 37 feet with a 16 foot planking in the center. 8treet Cara All Right Mr, McGce, manager of the street car line, kept the cars going all day yesterday, though for a time it looked as if the snow would cover the tracks to a depth that would preclude further traffic. Last night employees swept the tracks so that the cars moved with their accustomed free doom. In Portland the cars have been practically shut down because of the snow. , , Odd And End Sale. Charles V, Brown, the Astoria Shoe Man, announces that his Odd and End Sale of fine Boota, Shoes, Slip pers, etc., is now on. Prices are be ing cut to cost and in many instances below.

Miss Pomsroy Arrives At 2 o'clock yesterday morning the old stork stopped in his flight over this city long enough to leave a dainty girl baby at the home of Sheriff and Mrs. M. R. Pomeroy. During the day it was reported that Mrs. Pomeroy was not as well as was hoped for; but inquiry of Dr. Fulton last night brought the pleasant as surance that she waa getting along admirably. The little daughter is holding her own in fine shape. Threatened To Shoot John Erlckson, dwelling in a scow on the Uppertown waterfront, at tracted attention last evening by his wild actions and finally he procured his shotgun and threatened to kill people passing near. He did fire out of bis window several time. Police Officer Hansen arrested the man and took him to the station, Erickson go ing there without much trouble. At the station he became somewhat un manageable and Chief Oberg and the others had difficulty its searching him. With The Odd Fellows jne oeauuiui ceremonies incident to the installation of the officers of Beaver Lodge No. 35,. I. O. 0. F.. last evening, at the hall of the order in this city, drew a large concourse of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs and splendid program was unfolded after the official work had been performed Refreshments were served and the evening went to the records as one of the most enjoyable in the history of the local lodges. , Has Set Tha Stakes- Mr. Tee, the city surveyor, has set the stakes for the proposed grade at Irving and Seventh that is asked for in one of the petitions presented to the council. At a recent meeting of the council it was arranged that the stakes be set out by the city surveyor so that it might readily be seen just what changes sre proposed. The stakes as set out involve the making of cuts at this corner of about 14 feet at the southwest corner, nearly five feet at the southeast corner and of about 19 feet at the northwest corner. These cuts would be neces sary, atates Mr. Tee's report, to com ply with the petition of one of the parties. Committed To Asylum Miss Jennie Crowner, who has been employed as a domestic, was commit ted to the asylum by Judge Trenchard last evening, as she ia evidently in sane. This ia the third time that the unfortunate woman has been commit ted to asylums, once before in Mon tana and oi.ee at Salem. She was lib erated the last time in 1903. A bnd attack of spinal menengitis in 1895 brought on the trouble. She is 33 years old and unmarried. Her home is In Astoria. She was examined yes terday by Dr. Tuttle, who reported that the present symptoms of her in sanity consist mainly of great irrita bility, wildly vituperative language, and insomnia.

The man who eats does so with the expectation of being satisfied. To this end he seeks the best possible place to gratify his normal appetite at the most rational expense. These ac counts for the steady stream of peo ple to and from the portals of the Palace Restaurant in thia city. The reputation of the Falace is founded Immoveably upon the certainty and amplitude of the service it renders to every purse, and appetite, big and little. Opcn day and night.

PHONE 1181 GOOD GOODS PHONE 031 120 TO 124 TWELFTH STREET Recount Up Today Lnt evening Judge Anderson stat ed thut he then did not know what hit attitude would be today in rela tion to turning over the ballot box to the city council. He will abide entire' ly by the city attorney's opinion, which he will receive this morning presumably. While the charter gives the council the absolute and final authority to pass upon the contest as between Mr. Carney and Mr. Karl ncn, nevertheless in the absence of any method of procedure provided for by charter or ordinance, it Is pre sumed that the state laws as to the procedure may have to be followed, including an order of the circuit court for the opening of the ballot box. The council will meet at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon to take the matter up. Lost Poll Tax Receipts In a minor way one of the political surprises of the new year was the appointment of Fred Brown by the County court as poll tax collector, in the stead of "Dud" Blount. Mr. Blount was also surprised for he pre sumed that hi record of having col lected more than tny of his predeces sors would have insured him a re appointment for the new year. But in one way he had bad luck. He is debited at the office of the county clerk with nine books of poll ta receipts, each book containing 50. In seuling up he only accounted for eight of the books, which leaves 50 receipts unaccounted for. This was the first Mr. Blount knew of their absence and he is in s quandary, the only solution that he can offer being that he lost the book. But meantime some one mint have found the book, which represents a value of $150, and the hinder could easily have filled out a receipt for himself and given or told the remaining other 49 to his friends. Of r.ourse to have done that would be dangerous work, as it in volved forgery. Mr Rtottnt ia very anxious to find the missing book, and if any one did find it, he can win much appreciation by returning it to Mr. Blount. Mr. Blount's honesty in the matter is not questioned for a single minute by anyone officially or otherwise interested in the missing book. HAZARD ID PLEASURE ID 101!

Co. n With three inches of the "beautiful snowv smoothly laid on a coating of ice half an inch thick over every ex-1 posed surface in this city and section, there was ample inducement for the I oldsters and youngsters of Astoria to dig out from their two-year seclusion all degrees and sizes of sleds and sleighs owned here (and their name is legion) and indulge sime of the hardier and heartier of the winter sports, and to call in their less well equipped friends to share the rare engagements. It began with the first faint beams of daylight; the hills were soon back with flying slcdders swinging down the precipitous grades at lightning speed and stopping far beyond the first lines of the level, only to cheer fully climb over the heights to try it over and over again, as lusty boys and girls are wont to do on such days as yesterday. Only the school calls interrupted the jolly sport, and at the earliest leisure, the game went on uninterruptedly until dark, and until the weariness-cal! to bed ended the day for the little people. Their elders were not a whit oe- him! the youngsters in the pleasure pursuits of the hour; all the express wagons, hacks and buggies and common-place wheeled vehicles, were early transformed to impromptu sleds and sleighs, and plenty of unsuspect ed cutters were hauled out of their covers and hitched to the fastest stock in the city, and with bells ga lore made their way about the streets and roads on quests of business and pleasure all day long and far into the night. Sleighing parties were in evi dence everywhere all the evening and the langhter and fun was infectious as it was pronounced. Even the fa- mous ski of the "Nordland" was out in dozens of instances, Karl Knobloch and several of his countrymen indulg ing the rare and speedy sport as best they might upon 'the meagre snow- fall. , ... , . .,.... ,. . : ; . ,(i : The snow-ballist was in oeroetual evidence, night and day; there was no immunity from him, anywhere in tlte open; he was as ubiquitous as he was true in his aim, and many a derby was sent whirling, to the astonish ment, amusement, chagrin, or bad temper of the owner, as the case might be; but the snowballs were kept in the air unceasingly and re prisals in kind were the only ones noted; battles were fought up and down Commercial street, and many misdirected shot caught the un- 1 Piano Number with each $5 Purchase 0 ?f If so see a Plumber; but don't wait until you catch cold, buy an Overcoat now!
