Hom From Olympla '
Senator McCowan came down from
Portland last night on his way home
from Otympia, where he has been at
tending the sessions of the state
legislature. He has been made a
member of the joint fish commission,
which is to meet with the commis
sion from the State of Oregon. The
joint meeting will be held In Seattle,
J. C. McCue of the Clatsop delega
tion has been made a member of the
commission for this state. Mr. Mc
Cowan says he does not favor federal
control of the river, as he thinks the
two states can arrange a working plan
between themselves.
Hit It Closely-

the almanic weather prophets some
times get to the actualities, the fol
lowing review of the January weath

Dikes Not Kept Up ,
The people of the West Side coun
try are complaining quietly, but per
sistently, of the fact that the dikes in
that district have not been kept up as
they should have been, which ia the
fundamental cause for the wide over
flow that has beset the good people
over there and which is threatening
their cattle and sheep, the former be
ing now heavily bunched all over the
tide-lands and up to their shoulders
In water, fenced In so they cannot
escape and ao hat none may get to
them to relieve them, without grave
danger; as to the sheep, they have
managed to get through the fences
and make their way to safety if not
to succor, They do not make any
bones of the names of the men re
sponsible for the grave laches,- either.
Take Advantage,
We are offering a fine line of ladies',

Heart Trouble Kills-
Charles Petik, for many years em
ployed In Sam Harris saloon, died at
St, Mary's hospital yesterday .from
heart trouble, from which he had suf
fered a long time. . He went to the
hospital several days ago and death
came at S o'clock yesterday morning.
His funeral will be held at 10 o'clock
this morning from the Pohl chapel.
Peck was a faithful employee, work
ing as s porter, and he and Mr. Mar
ris were friends for many years.
When Mr. Harris heard of the death
of Peck he ordered that the saloon
be closed as s token of respect, and
that crepe be hung on the door. Mean
time Mr. Harris, who has been ill at
his home for several weeks, did not
realize what construction was being
placed on the closed saloon and the
crepe on the door. His many friends
though, not unnaturally, that it was
Mr. Harris who was dead, and this
report soon spread widely over the
city.
Basket Ball
The "Five Brothers" hive challeng
ed a team of the Athletic Club to play
a match game of basketball in the
club gymnasium,, and the match has
been accepted for next Tuesday night.
It promises to be an excellent game
and one that many will find delight
in watching.' The "Five Brothers" are
telephone employees who aver they
can put up a game of the hottest kind,
but It is evident they are going up
against a strong team o( the Athletic
club members. The Athletic Club
train. will be composed as follows:
Roxy Garaham, Nels Jeldness, Ches
ter Howard, Lawrence Upshur and
Harry Harbert. For those who have
not witnessed a basketball contest this
should prove an excellent opportunity
to tee how the sport is played, and an
invitation is extended to both ladies
and gentlemen to be present. Later
on it is hoped to arrange for a series
of games.
Need a New Hotel
"What Astoria needs more than
anything else right now is a hotel, a
modern, comfortable hotel," said
William Harder, general agent of
the Great Northern Railway, -yester
day. Mr. Harder had just been re
citing some of his experiences In As
toria hotels of recent years. It was
pointed out that the ordinary Ameri
can traveler nowadays is used to the
very best, to warm, clean rooms, to
fresh linen and the cleanest and cos
iest of beds, to running water in the
rooms, to bath facilities, and all the
other things that one receives in any
hotel in almost any city, town or vil
lage the country over. Why a hotel
of the modern kind has not been con
structed in Astoria years ago is a mat
ter of surprise to every one that
comes here. The hotels are just
what they were SO years ago, when
Oregon was a wilderness except that
they are older and more dilapidated
now. The newWeinhard Hotel may
be built next summer or it may not
be built ever. Thus far the Weinhard
Hotel has been made up of broken
promises and airy assurances. A
first-class hotel in Astoria seems to
be one enterprise that would pay
from the star' and until it gets one
the city is bound to be marked down
as s jay place. Mention Astoria to a
commercial traveler and he begins to
laugh and then begins to knock, al
ways starting out with the hotel sub
jects. All Dykes Gone-
It was reported yesterday that vir
tually all the dykes 'on the Lewis and
Clark and Young's rivjrs have been
broken in by the high tides, and much
inconvenience and damage are sure to
result. When asked in relation to the
matter yesterday Mr. Cornelius,
county treasurer, whose home is out
on Young's river, said that he under
stood that the dykes are mostly brok
en in, and the same report comes
from others who have been out that
way. The water is extraordinarily
high, and the dykes that had been
built a good many years ago, es
pecially, were the ones to succumb
the easiest. Once the water began to
trickle through, it soon would wear
away a wide place through the. em
bankment and the floods would pour
in. Cattle and other farm animals
have suffered somewhat, though from
all accounts hardly any at all in the
Lewis and Clark region, or the
Young's river region, in comparison
with the hardships borne by some of
the cattle down near Warrenton.
There it is said cows stood in water
up to their bellies"" hour after hour.
Doubtless there will be loss among
the cattle, for siekness is likely to en
sue as a result of the exposure and
wet.

SOLDIER ACTED AS HIS
mm LAl'YER
PRIVATE HALL NEVERTHE
LESS WAS BOUND OVER BY
JUSTICE JEWETT.
Arthur N. Hall, a private of .the
United States army stationed at Ft.
Stevens, was bound over for trial in
the circuit court at the conclusion of
his hearing in Justice Jewett's court
at Hammond Thursday afternoon. He
was charged with having pointed his
loaded revolver at the city marshal
of Hammond. Charles M. Mekula.
He was able to present a cash bail of
$100, given to assure his presence in
court in February. The trial was an
interesting one, and was prosecuted
by Howard M. Browne!!, the assist
ant prosecutor. For the defense a
soldier from Fort Stevens sppeared,
and while he was not a lawyer, he
managed to play his part well.
Private Hall, in company with oth
er soldiers, was drinking in Hammond
several days ago, and in the exuber
ance of his excited feelings, drew his
gun and fired one or more shots.
This attracted the attention of Mar
shal Mekula, who hastened into the
saloon, only to be met with Hall's
revolver staring him in the face.
Mekula was good. He beat a re
treat, but shortly after took Hall un
awares and took the weapon from
him. It was still loaded. These facts
were substantiated in the hearing be
fore Justice Jewett
At the conclusion of the testimony
for the prosecution, Hall's soldier
friend who was acting as his lawyer,
arise and wanted to .know u tie
couldn't "compromise" the case, thus
apparently indicating that he bad the
makings of a great lawyer in him.
But the court informed him that un
fortunately no compromise was pos
sible.
The aoldier lawyer then put up a
strong talk. His client was young he
said, and the whiskey was bad. He
had meant no harm, and if he was let
go this time there would be no trouble
in the future. Justice Jewett, how
ever, couldn't see it that way and
bound Hall over. His friends among
the soldier boys raised the, $100 cash
ball among them., .
There seemed to bavj been consid
erable feeling in Hammond over the
episode, as there have; been similar
scrapes there before. During the
progress of the hearing several of the
soldiers present, in their desire to
help their comrade out, became more
or less excited and once several of
them got talking at the same time.
Thereupon Archie McLean, deputy
sheriff,-who was present, also arose
and announced that it wasn't a
"rough house" or a "kangaroo court"
and ordered them to sit down. Ac-
cusotmed to obedience to authority
they all sat down and the trial pro
ceeded with due order and form.

FOOTBALL iBOYS GET
THEIR SWEATERS
CAPTAIN ABERCROMBIE ALSO
HANDSOMELY REMEMBER
ED AT HIGH SCHOOL.
At the High School yesterday af
ternoon the boys of the Astoria High
School football team were formally
presented their sweaters with the big
football "A" on the front The occa
sion was made a very interesting and
diverting one, and Principal Imel act
ed as the master of ceremonies. He
called up the young men one by one
for the presented of the coveted
sweaters, and to each Mr. Imel had
some compliment or bit of pleasantry
that kept the rest of the school in
constant laughter.
Mr. Imel reviewed the work of the
team during the season of 190$, and
complimented the boys on what they
had accomplished. '
The boys also suddenly gav.e nine
"rah rabs" for Captain Abercrombie,
the coach, and in addition presented
him with a handsome saber, of the
regulation style used in the United
States army. So well pleased were
the team with the efforts of Captain
Abercrombie in getting them in shape
that they also presented him and this
came as a complete surprise with a
handsome sweater with a big T
on its front, typifying Wisconsin uni
versity, where he made a wonderful
ly fine record on the football team
while attending the law college. This
last gift seemd most welcome to Cap
tain Abercrombie and he thanked the
boys very heartily. Captain Parker,
who was at the head of the Astoria
team the past season, also made a
few remarks on what had been done,
and Lawrence Upshur, captain for the
coming year, said a few words for
the work in 1909.
All in all the whole little episode
was a very happy and pleasant one,
and perhaps it illustrates in a man
ner the position that athletics are be
ginning to assume in the Astoria i
schools.
As soon as the session was over
there were about a dozen boys who
made a bee-line for their homes, there
divested themselves- of their shirts,
and soon were out on the streets at
tired in a handsome blue sweater
with a big capital "A" looming up
prominently on the breast.

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, then
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
Now which kind of butter had
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 butter-
making? Or would you rather have a butter that you know is right from
start to finish? Remember "FERNDALE" costs no more than the otlicr
kind. Talk it over with your Grocer
