His mother was at the Biblical limit of "three score yean and ten," and died at her family home in Keokuk, Iowa. s Hand And Saw One of the employee of the Astoria Box Company by the name of Dryvig, yesterday had the misfortune to grace his right hand In one of the big steam saws at that plant and was taken to Dr. Fulton for treatment, and the In jured member was quickly and thor oughly mended. The wound was not a bad nor deep one and Mr. Dryvig will not be long incapacitated. From Nervous Collapse Yeiterday afternoon Mrs. M. A.

Objetciona Made Some objection it being made to the franchise that is inked by the Oregon Coast railway Company to run street cars over the city streets. The matter is being considered by the committee on streets of the com mon council.

S, Government, through its immigration officials, has wired to In spector Raphael Bonham, of this city, to make certain inquiries into the status of the shipping articles under which the sailors of the French ship Asineres, now loading lumber at the Hammond Lumber Company's docks, and report his findings by wire; the object being no doubt to take due cognizance of the pleas made by the union stevedores as against the right of these men to handle cargo under the alien contract labor phase of the immiiration law. ," Thief Steala Clothing An overcoat was stolen from the lodging house kept by Mrs. Overton on Commercial street recently, and yejterday there came a report from Warremon that some sneak thief had stolen a suit of clothes there. The thief left some old clothes behind him at Warrenton. and in one of the pock et was a pawn ticket, showing that he had pawned an overcoat at the As toria Loan Office, but Investigation by the police yesterday showed that the overcoat in the pawn shop was not the one stolen here. It Is pre sumed that both thefts were made by the same man and that he pawned his own overcoat and walked off with the better one he had stolen. Sixty Dollars Astray Again the management and em ployees of the Troy Laundry of this city have been up against some va grant money. Yesterday, while sort ing the toiled linen sent in by a cer tain well known lady of this city, the young woman in charge of the gar ments found a pair of black silk stockings still hanging to the under suit to which they had been attached on the wearer, and in peeling off one of the stockings, three twenty-dollar bills were unfolded and fell to the table. The lady whose carelessness was responsible for the "find" was im mediately notified and gratefully be stowed a dollar on the finder. It is not often lhat people get so absent minded as to forget the presence in their clothes' of sums like this, but this is the second case of the kind this winter at the Troy. Fled His Prison- Yesterday morning during prison- inspection at Fort Stevens a dummy was found on the prison bed of one J. E. Dabney, an ex-corporal, doing two years' time in that retreat for desertion, and Dabney was non-est, having made his escape during the night, and undoubtedly with the aid of friends on the outside, A rigid in quiry will be made into the circum stances and punishment will fall wherever the responsibility lies. He had several compatriots in jail with him and it is expected that some start ling developments will be made in a day or two, Gravel The Roads Speaking in his own interest and that of all men who travel the Lewis & Clark road out of this city and into it, a gentleman said yesterday to a reporter of the Astorian: "The Lewis & Clark road, between the farm of W. J. Ingnlls and John Reeves, a distance of about one quarter of a mile, is all tide-land; and one-half of this stretch is built of poor gravel and loose dirt, the other half being planked. When ffeshets arise, the planks are thrown in all directions, and the porous earth and soft gravel become a itretch of nutck and mud, rendering the district impassahle to man ' and beast, let alone rigs. The boxes in the dikes are not large enough to permit the outflow of the congested waters and wide acres are subjected to overflow and stagnation. 'The only remedy at hand is for the road to be deeply and solidly gravelled with clear and sound gravel, including the two or three small bridges that span it atjnter- cals. Any less improvement, is mon ey and time thrown away." Guild Tea. Ladies of Grace Church Guild will hold one of the series of their afternoon teas at the home of Mrs. C. S. Brown on Saturday afternoon. Friends are cordially invited. ihi ATHLETIC CLUB BOYS WIN THE GAME SEVERAL HUNDRED SPECTA TORS ARE INTERESTED IN BASKETBALL CONTEST. The basketball game in the Athletic Club gymnasium last night between the Athletic Club team and the team composed of telephone employees was i tine exhibition of strength and agility, though perhaps not as excel lent a display of skill in the finer points of the game. The athletic club boys won by a score of 18 to 7. Much interest was manifested in the contest by the large number of spectators, there being perhaps over 250 people there, filling the gallery and the seats placed along the sides of the gymnasium. The Athletic Club team had gained considerable practice during the week, while the telephone boys showed their lack of team practice,, though they did good work individually. Both sides seem to be pretty well winded when the halves came to an end. The line-up was as follows: J. L. Hale.... forwards.. Nels Jeldness C. C. Hale " ...Roxy Graham J. C. Hale centers.. ,.H. Harbert Pat Treest guards.. .Wilson Stein D. McKowan.. " T. Whitman Charles Beck played guard in the second half for the telephone team. Harry Harbert for the Athletic Club seemed to be easily one of the stars of the game, while Jeldness threw four baskets. Cecil Hale acted as ref eree, and wai kept busy calling fouls. It is probable that many other basketball games will be played be tween various teams at the club gym nasium during the winter, as the contests seem to prove quite inter esting. Girls" Basketball The Manager of the Basket Ball team of the Astoria High School has been successful in securing two out side games, both of which are to be played in his city. The first is with the crack 'team, of the Vancouver High School and is to be played the latter part of this, or the first part of next week, the exact date having not yet been decided upon. The second is with the all-star champ ion Monmouth team, and will take place Saturday night, Feb. sixth. The local team no longer play girls' rules; for they have found it impossible to get a game in so doing, for all other teams in the state play the regulated boys rules. The girls have been practicing daily, so good games may be expected. Furthermore the home team has perfect confidence in itself and is in for winning both games. Ai though the Monnouth girls may com pete for the championship of the state, and may boast of the games they have already won this season, the High School girls have decided to give them a game which they will long remember. Principal Imel, coach of the team, as well as his en thusiastic players, has decided upon beating both teams to a "frazzle" if they can. Miss Fanny Gregory is the manager of the High School team. Plenty of smelts every day at Bradcn-Adams Meat Market. See ad on page 4. The Man Who Eats. The man who eats does so with the expectation of being satisfied.

Makes a Protest Dr. C. C. Rosenberg of this city has caused to be published a pamphlet which is addressed to the members of the Oregon State Legislature, and is headed i "Protest Against Various Boards and Commissions." The text of the pamphlet apparently deals with the question of commissions that are permitted to control medical legisla tion, and in general it deals with the question of the restrictions placed upon all those who wish to practice medicine, by requiring a license from them, etc. The pamphlet is signed by Dr. Rosenberg, with the abbreviations signifying that he is a doctor of medi cine and a graduate in pharmacy. He also states that he has been a practic ing physician for 27 years. From Umatilla Light ' Charles Forsmah, one of the men engaged on the Umatilla light, came to this city yesterday for medical at tention and went to St. Mary's hospi tal under the care of Dr. Tuttle. Forsman, as are all other men em ployed on any registered vessel, is entitled to the care of a physician and other attendance in time of sickness, in accordance with the laws of the United States pertaining to maritime affairs. Dr. Tuttle is the physician in charge of such cases here, being em ployed by the government. Sailors who have been employed on a duly registered vessel for 60 days or more without an intermission of 60 days are entitled to the privileges. Just Give us a Look- Captain Charles Richardson, pf the dandy tender, the Columbine, yester day suggested to the Astorian that the Chamber of Commerce might do a very distinct favor by securing As torians a glimpse of the nations' "Liberty Bell," when it arrives at Portland from Philadelphia, provided the Rose Fair officials are not too heavily handicapped with bonds and contract specifications to admit of sending it down here for a day or two. There are thousands-who would be delighted to see the proud old relic and who may not see it at all if they have to travel to Portland or Seattle for the chanfe. AMUSEMENTS ASTORIA THEATRE. Lieutenant and the Cowboy" Coming Next Sunday Evening. The engagement at the Astoria thatre on Sunday, January 31, of "The Lieutenant and the Cowboy" may very properly be regarded as one of the dramatic events of the season. "The Lieutenant and the Cowboy" is a novel play, interesting, humorous and thrilling. It deals with the ad ventures of an American army officer on the western plains and introduces a large number of characters. The play is lavishly mounted and the scenic investure is absolutely correct, thisi giving to the play the required atmosphere. In the first act which shows a lonlely mountain trail one almost scents the sagebrush and al kali and reveals in the lonesomeness of the place. In strong contrast are the scenes shown in the second act, where the transfer is made to the military post known as Ft. Carland, life VAUDEVILLE PERSONAL MENTION Editor J. W.

Just What You Have Have you been having trouble to upon always being good? "FERNDALE" is a brand that you can rel" 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 ia 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 other kind. Talk it over with your Grocer and see what he says about it.
