Lowrey of the Team sters Union of this city, to the sixth annual convention of the Oregon State Federation of Labor at Salem, has returned to the city and reports one of the most succestful confer ences of thst body In many years. Astoria had a strong delegation in the house, the carpenters, the machin ists, the fishermen and the bartenders being all ably represented and taking very active part In the deliberations of the assembly. Drowned At Skamokawa Word was received In this city yes terday evening, from Skamokawa, that N. P. Anderson, one of the best known and most respected farmers of that live community,' while going home after d.vk, from the town, lost his footing at a point In the rood where It overhangs the ilongh and plunged over the bank Into the icy waters and was drowned, his body being ( recovered early . yesterday morning.

Mr. Goodin therefore turned back and came Into the city, but immediately started out again by another direc tion. He will go by way of OIney and Tucker Creek, and while it is a very roundabout means of getting to Gearhart he hopes to win through. Mr. Goodin has taken the contract of placing spur track in at the Bain mills., '. ' " , " Debate In Few Days Superintendent of Schools Clark stated last evening that the time for the debate between the Astoria and Tillamook high schools has jtot yet been definitely settled, but will prob ably be the middle of this week. The Astoria theatre has been secured for the contest, ai(d much Interest is be ing manifested In the matter. The local debaters, feel that , they are lightly handicapped by lack of time for due preparation, but the three lo cal debaters will endeavor to make up for this in the next few days. They are Mary Kelly, Axel Slguardson and Lawrence Dineen. It is understood that the Astoria debaters have studied the subject thoroughly enough but have not had an opportunity to or ganize and prepare the finer details of the very wide subject.

Phone Mai t ider Telephone Rates ' At the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock a discussion will tnke place concerning the advance in rates which the local telephone com pnny is seeking to bring out. A number of the members of the Cham' bcr have protested against this rise and it has been decided that the mat tcr ought to be discussed In an open meeting of the organisation. , Mayor Smith, City Attorney Abcrcrombie and Manager Brunold of the tele phone company have been invited to be present to participate. A showing will be made how the Import and ex port business that was formerly done from the Columbia river is now be? ing most largely done through Puget Sound. This Is because of the studied plans of Portland people to prevent the water over tile bar at the mouth of the river being deepened any more rapidly than in the channel all the way up Jo Portland. The state good roads' association has asked the Chamber to endorse the bill now be fore the legislature providing further for financing good roads and this matter is also to come up for consid eration, , He Has The Runners Clatsop's genial assessor, T. S. Cornelius, has very definite interest in the present snowfall and may get even with the weather for the trick it lately played on him. When the big snow was here, Mr. Cornelius Invar iably comes into the city from the Young's River country each day, in his buggy, and he stuck to the wheels until his friends chaffed him into get ting a set of runners for the rig. This he finally did, and the very night he made the purchase and took them home, the thaw set In; but next morn ing he saw enough snow in patched on the road to hearten him up some, and he took off the wheels and got the rig on the runners. When he got a mile from home the snow had disap peared entirely and when he struck the court house he was leading the horse out of sheer sympathy, and the "boys" did not do a thing to him. Ilis little daughter, who had started with him, forsook him on the road, as it was too slow and laborious for her, and besides, she had some eggs which she desired to get rid of before the market fell. If the present spell keeps up, he may get square with the situation. 1 ' 1 1 Business Administration .. Councflman Leinenweber, who re turned to the city from Salem to re main over Sunday, said yesterday that upon his appointment as chairman of the committee on fire and water of the common council, he called the committee together and it was ar ranged that nothing should be done except with the full knowledge and approval of a majority of the commit tee. That Is, the one-man system is to be done away with, and it waa the chairman, Mr. Leinenweber, who was the one to insist on this. The other members of this important committee are Messrs. Wilson and Stangeland. It was also arranged that on the Sat urday preceding the fixst meeting of each month the committee ahall meet and talk over all matters pertaining to the fire and water departments. All bills and all requisitions must be be fore the committee by this time, and otherwise they will not be reported on by the committee for that meeting. The committee notified Chief Foster of the fire department of its new and business like plans. While this com mittee is starting out with a big handicap facing it, due to the fact that the fire department spent over $5000 beyond its appropriations last year, nevertheless rt is hoped by economy and strict business methods to come out at the end of the year in fairly good shape.

A well known and responsible gen tleman who makes Astoria with regular frequency, but whose name is withheld at his special request until a bit later, wat in the city yesterday, and paid the office of the Morning Astorian s pleasant call, during which he made the deliberate statement that "Astoria might have a first-class ho tel at an early day if she chose to take a hand in the negotiations," Asked to be a little more explicit, this gentleman went on to say that he had been directed by a monied friends, who waa conversant with the real need for a first-class, modern ho tel in this city, to make some inquiries a to the humor of this people toward a project of the aort; to ascertain if they were disposed to carry a rea sonable per centage of the stock in an enterprise of the sort, and about bow much they would stand for In a deal involving, say, $75,000, and report his conclusions when they met again. To this end he had talks with sev eral leading people yesterday and found all of them amenable to the proposition, the substance of bis in ferences in the matter being that if these people would take over $25,000 of $30,000 of the stock, the deal might be readily consumated; and that if it was ever started by his friend, the people of Astoria might bank on the certainty of the project going through with commendable celerity and in the completest fashion such a sum should guarantee. This gentleman intends to pursue the matter further and has im plicit, faith in the. business-like out come of the venture, as well as in his friend's object and ability to launch and perfect the enterprise, and more will be heard of it shortly. The constant delay and apparent indiffer ence of ,. the . Weinhard people are largely at the bottom of this man's inquiries and his friends interest in the new proposition. ' From one of these sources Astoria should receive some assurance very shortly, and of a decisive sort PERSONAL MENTION J. W.

"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy," the new western military drama, which comes to the Astoria Theatre next Sunday night, should not be con founded with the ordinary clap-trap melo-drama, for this is a play of sterling worth and is presented by an extremely capable company. No better play can possibly be offered to Astoria, theatre-goers this season, for the simple reason that nothing super ior has been written. "The Lieuten ant and the Cowboy" is a tense, heart thrilling drama, but so sanely blended that the complete story clings in one's mind long after the performers are forgotten. It is by no means a "gun" play, but two shots being fired during the four acts, and neither of them in view of the audience. It is, on the cotrary. strictly high-grade production well worth the attention of the most critical theatre-goers. Mt Hood BeerTry It SELLING HORSE FLESH. CHICAGO, Jan. 23. Inspectors of the health department have been in vestigating charges that horse flesh is being sold in Chicago for beef. Several arrests have been made, but so far the inspectors assert that what ever trade has been done, has been in the form of shipments tbroad. "SUFFRAGE DOES HARM" NEW YORK,. Jan. 23.-"Woman's suffrage has done more harm than irood in the four states in which it has been tried, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming," declared President Wood in an address before the Natioi- al League for the civic education of women, here last night. "Based nuon my personal observa tions of the workings of equal suff rage in the four states where it exists, its results indicate the liability of the 'corrupt political machine to induce the female voters rather than any ability on the part of the women to purify politics." ' , Mt Hood Beer Try it Just What You Have Have you been having trouble to get a butter that you could depend upon always being good? "FERNDALE" is a brand that yem can reb upon at all seasons of the year and every day in the year. ' The reasons for this are: in the first place we use nothing but the very 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 making in the most careful manner. Now which kind of butter had you rather use, the kind that is made 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 otJier kind. Talk it over with your Grocer and see what he says about it. .
