tain Howes.
To Look Into Matter
Yesterday morning Deputy District
Attorney Howard L Browncll, of this
city, received word from the authori
ties at Hammond, that on Wednesday
night, in the course of a row at that
place, Private Hale, of Fort Stevens,
had pointed a loaded army pistol at
Charles M. Mckula, the marshal of
New Aatoria, There were several
witnesses to the affair and Mr.
Brownell, to save trouble . and ex
pense, went down personally to in
quire into the merits and demerits of
the case and ascertain what , steps
were essential to be taken in a legal
way, and if a warrant was necessary
to issue it there and dispose of the
matter once for alt, either in Justice's
court or by reference' to the grand
jury. It is not known what he did,
as he was detained there by the rail
wiy washout, over night.
Smoking At Schools
According to complaints that have
reached the mothers of some of the
school children, there are quite a few
of the lads at the High School who
are in the habit of bringing their pipes
and cigarettea to school with them,
and of nonchalantly puffing away dur
ing intermissions. It is said that they
not only smoke out on the grounds
in more or Icaa aecluded spots, but
that some of the boys even puff away
in the hails during certain of the
houra that they are free. The matter
haa reached the eara of members of
the W. C, T, U and it may be that
thia organization will take some de
elded steps in relation to the matter.
Tha tsome of the boys who attend
the High School carry pipes and
clgs" with them to school ii prob
ably a matter easily substantiated, but
that they are In the habit of smoking
there is a matter which will probably
come as a surprise to many. It is
also said that even some of the little
"kids" in the lower grades also go to
school with pipe or "cig" in pocket.

The Man Who Eata.
The man who eata 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 ateady stream of peo
ple to and from the portala of the
Palace Restaurant In this city. The
reputation of the Palace is founded
Immoveably upon the certainty and
amplitude of the service it renders to
every purse, and appetite, big and
little. Open day and night. Com

Jolly Birthday Party V
; Little Miss Nellie Larsrn attained
to her 12th year on Wednesday last,
and to commemorate the pleasant
achievement, invited in a number of
her young friends to share the pleas
ures of the anniversary. There was
any amount of fun provided, games of
all sorts and delicious refreshments
and all the range of diversions usual
to such occasions, The guests of the
evening were: The little Misses Alice
Hoover, Louise Abercrombie, Mildred
Copeland, Nora Willct, Alice Rarick,
Elizabeth Strahl, Annie Stral, Pauline
Harris Pearl Glmre, Ruby Gimre,
Henrietta Poulsen, Virginia Poulsen,

The Electric Line
J. F. Hamilton, the attorney, yester
day sent to the officers of the Oregon
Coast Railway company a deed for
the right of way over his property,
and it is now said that only two or
three more important rights of way
need to be secured between thia city
and Seaside. ,The righta have not yet
been granted by Josiah West and
John Waterhouae, both of whom own
large tracts that will be necessarily
crossed by the electric line, but it is
hoped that they will soon give the re
quired strip. At the next meeting of
the council it is expected the fran
chise over the city streets will then be
granted, and the requisite franchises
have already been secured from the
county. It is hoped to have the
whole matter in shape within two
weeks at the outside. Meantime the
promoters of the enterprise still aver
that they have, the financial end of
the project right in hand and are
only waiting for all of the rights of
way to commence work of construc
tion. Beware The Dog Catcher
If your little Fido or pretty little
Pinky disappear in a mysterious
manner it will be a safe guess that the
dog catcher has them, For Mr. John
son, the official poundmaster dog
catcherand general factotum in all
matters pertaining to the impounding
of unlicensed animals, is about to put
on his war paint. Last night Acting
Chief of Police Oberg sent out word
to take tip unlicensed dogs, and Mr.
lohnsonJhat hn asV w!im to
this action. So slow have the owners
of dogs been in paying their licenses
that the patience of the police de
partment has apparently become ex
hausted and there will be "something
doing" in the dog line from this date
unless there there is a bargain-counter
rush for the police station with the
fees. While the dog licenses have
been due for the past three weeks
only about a score of people have paid
up. Have the change ready, $2.50, or
$5.00, as the case may be, and ask for
Mr. Rinn, the clerk at the police sta
tion; and after the money is paid over
dont forget to get the 1909 tag.
Receive Their Sweaters
The members of the Astoria High
school football team who played in
the various games and kept up the
practice until the season closed will
be given their school sweaters today.
On each sweater is placed a large
capital A, the initial of the word As
toria. The sweaters themselves ar
costly and of fine material, a sort of
blue in color, while the letter A is in
yellow, the blue and yellow being as
near to the school colors as was
practicable, , Only those who have
made the teams and have lived up to
the school athletic regulations are
given the coveted sweaters with the
right to wear the A on them. Fol
lowing is a list of those who will re
ceive their sweaters today: Parker, E.
Short, Upshur, Rogers, Ross, Peschl,
Barry, Jeldness, Troycr, Morton, S.
Short. Holmes had won his right to
the sweater, but. inasmuch as he failed
to show up in uniform the last game
there is said to be some doubt that he
will be granted the privilege of wear
ing the initialed sweater. J
Take Advantage.
We are offering a fine line of ladies',
men s and children s shoes this week.
Odds and nds but all first-class values
at cost and in many instances greatly

THE HONEST DEAD
ED. ROSENBERG LEAVES FOR
OLYMPIA TO TAKE HAND
IN FISH LEGISLATION.
Superintendent Edward Rosenberg
of the Columbia River' Fishermen's
Protective Union, leaves on this
morning , express, for uiympia,
Wash., to take such part in the legis
lative work at that capital, as may
make itself apparent and inviting to
him, as he understands the situation.
He is ftill in the fisheries fight and
doing strong and intelligent work for
the great industry as against the in
cursions of organized wheelmen and
others who have succeeded in mud
dling things in Oregon tremendously.
In the course of an interview last
evening, with a reporter tor this
paper, Mr. Rosenberg spoke as fol
lows of this trip and its object;
"I fully realize that various kinds
of commissions have been appointed
to defeat the will of the voters of
Oregon as expresed last June by a
major vote of 26,000, that fishing In
the Columbia river stop, from Sandy
River, up; that th fishing shall stop
On half tide,
"After two years of close investiga
tion of the Columbia' river fishing
conditions I realize that the corpora
tions owning fishwhtels and other
destructive fishing appliances in the
Columbia river, have depended on the
conflict of jurisdiction as between the
States of Washington and Oregon, as
to these especially fisheries; hence,
when Oregon, two years ago,' passed a
law forbidding purse seine fishing in
the Columbia river, and Washington
failed to concur in such law, Attorney-General
Crawford, of Oregon,
was prevailed upon to test the juris
dictional power of Oregon over the
Columbia fisheries, by taking hold of
the Chris Nelson case. Chris Nelson
was a -purse seiner, holding a license
from the State of Washington to op
erate his purse-sein on the Columbia
river. He was arrested under the
Oregon fawf; tried," and found guilty
in an Oregon Justices court, and in
the circuit court and supreme courts
of Oregon; and appeal was then tak
en to the supreme court of the United
States. After interviewing Attorney
General Atkinson of Washington and
pointing out to him that the salmon
fisheries of the Columbia river needed
a decision from the supreme court of
the United States and that the Chris
Nelson case was just the predicate
for the desired decision, the two se
nior Senators of the two States of
Oregon and Washington secured from
the supreme court of the United
States an advancement of the Nelson
case on the calendar of that court for
January 18th; and it is hoped that. this
tribunal having gone out of its rigid
routine in this case, will likewise
grant an early decision of the matter,
so that, the federal supreme court,
having already settled the boundaries
of the two states in the Columbia
river, the two Legislatures will be
able to intelligently legislate for the
preservation of the great industry.
"In this morning's papers I read
that there is a movement on foot by
Senator McGowan and others inter
ested in fishwhecls, to have a treaty
enacted between Oregon and Wash
ington, for the preservation of our
fisheries on the Columbia; such treaty
needing the concurrence of Congress
and the ultimate approval of the two
State Legislatures. To my thinking
about 20 years would pass before
such protection could be secured for
our salmon along such dubious and
devious way, The voters and the
Legislatures of , the Western States
have shown recently that predatory
wealth does not always have the
right of way. , '
"I believe that the fishwheels in the
Columbia will go and that the Co
lumbia river will be one of our prin
cipal salmon streams, because in the
State of Oregon we have the initia
tive and referendum to offset the
schemes of designing men."
Telephone Subscribers
Changing from the old to the new
system it has been found necessary to
re-number all telephones, Owing to
the numbers covering the different
classes of service it is desired that
all subscribers, who. have not been
called upon by the solicitors, of the
company, fo call at the central office
and decide what class of service that
they may desire. A new telephone di
rectory will be issued immediately and
the numbers must be assigned within
a week.

We Anticipated It
Some jolly Democratic friend in
this city sent the editor of this paper,
yesterday, by due course of mail, a
mysterious package, which, f in this
day of "black hand" stunts, poisoned
candy, and other hideous and handy
devices for speedy obliteration, might
have been justly turned over to Police
Chief Oberg (but was not, as the edi
tor of thia paper does not care to die
even by proxy,) The thing was care
fully opened and when the wrapper
was off there was revealed a small,
white card-board box, with this legend
across the face of it: "Grease the
capsule well and take with a swallow
of water; if you choke, take another
swallow of water." Packed away In
the heart of a wad of cotton in the
box was a horse capsule about ai big
as an ordinary banana, and in delicate
chirography across the filmy curves of
the unsightly thing was this sugges
tive title; "STATEMENT NO. 1."
But, funny as the joke is, it loses some
of its zest when it is known that the
editor of this paper, with a number of
other "invalids," took "his medicine,"
minus a capsule to expedite it, about
12:40 o'clock p. m. on Tuesday last.
Sorry to disappoint the genial friend
whose thoughtfulness inspired the
gift of yesterday, but he was 48 hours
to the bad.
A. 8 C. i!S SPECIAL
,'ITO PORTLAHD
HUNDREDS-FOOT BREAK ON
WEST SIDE, NEAR WARREN
TON CAUSES TROUBLE
For the last 48 hours it has been
known that the tides were encroach
ing steadily upon the right of way of
the Astoria & Columbia River Rail
road Company, and yesterday the
weight and wash of the excessive
flood carried out the foundation of
one of the west side bridges on that
line about one and a half miles this
side of Warrenton, checking the
movement of trains and necessitating
the transferring of passengers to and
from rhe seat of trouble. The scope
of the damage is about 100 feet fn
width, and includes six or seven bents
of the bridge in nuestion. " V
Yesterday afternoons train hence to
Warrenton, Hammond and Fort Ste
vens, was held up at the break and
had to come back to the city with its
passengesr as there had been no ar
rangements made for transferring at
that time, the real conditions of
things not having developed at head
quarters. But as soon as'it was re
ported a force of men were sent to
the seat of trouble and the work of
repair is going steadily on with a
speedy adjustment in sight.
The evening train hence to War
renton and Seaside was sent out on
time and met the up-express from the
coast at the break, where passengers
were transferred and the trains went
their respective ways. The evenine
train to Portland was made a special,
and sent out at about 10:00 o'clock,
made up of the coaches used on the
west side run with one or two extra
coaches from the yards here; so that
while the service was interrupted for
an hour or two it was not disturbed,
and went into the metropolis just a
bit late. No accidents have been re
ported from the line and as soon as
the water abates at the break the
work of reconstruction will go for
ward with despatch and things will
be running on schedule again.
. The high tides of the season and the
flood waters coming down the Co
lumbia, backed by the fierce . sou'
wester of the past few days are re
sponsible for the rush and rise of the
waters all over the lowlands of the
west side, and have risen higher tha
has been known there for several
years past.
Word was received here yesterday
afternoon that several homes on the
eastern suburb of Warrenton were
all but inundated. Many of the dikes
are reported broken in that neighbor
hood and this makes the tide play
havoc with things generally and con
stitutes it shallow sea out of the ter
ritory round about that handsome
little burg.
Today's noon flood tide is the high
est' of the present season and if all
goes well during its run, it is reason
able to hope there will be no further
trouble over in that country.

Just What You Have
Have you been having trouble to get
upon always being good? "FERNDALE"' is a brand that you can rely
upon at all seasons of the year and every day in the year.
The reasons for this are: in the
best quality of cream, no two or three weeks old cream in our goods, tht's
it is made up in a scientific manner by one of the best butter-makers in
the world, a man who is not only a graduate of he best dairy school in the
United States but one who has had over 20 years of experience in butter
making. Then, too, our butter is clean, from the time the cows are
milked until it is made into butter and packed in our dirt proof cases, we
watch every stage of the handling and making in the most careful manner.
Now which kind of butter had you
of any kind of cream that can be bought, in rather an indifferent way by a
butter-maker that does not understand the hygienic principals of hitter
making? Or would you rather have a butter that you know is right from
start to finish? Remember "FERNDALE" costs no more than the C- r
kind. Talk it over with your Grocer
