Order Your Phone All those who wish to get their names in the telephone book about to be published by the company will have to order the kind of phone they want, and make the proper arrange ments very soon. It is announced that the new directory will b sent to press the latter part of the week, so that the time is growing short. Every one who haa a phone should see to it that his name goes into the new book properly. The company has inserted an advertisement in the papers to this effect, but some have failed to act promptly upon the suggestion. An Unwelcome Rumor Yesterday evening there was an ex ceedingly unwelcome rumor afloat on the streets of Astoria in relation to certain facts that dealth with the per sonal credit and honor of A. B. Dal getty, formerly of this city, and now of Portland, and secretary of the Grand Court of the Forresters; and which his many friends here will have td see confirmed before they will will ingly accept them. It is said that there is a discrepancy of $2000 that needs adjustment and that Mr. Dal gctty has been removed from office pending an Investigation by the Grand Directorate, Will Absorb Tht Traffic The Morning Astorian, upon un questioned authority, local and other wise, is in a position to announce, that owing to the high rates prevail ing on the transcontinental systems, hence to the East, on the salmon pro duct of this territory, that the Amer ican Hawaaian Steamship Company's vessels will handle the most, If not all, o fthe output next summer and fall. It is said that one of the recent shipments hence to St, Paul, via this line, was accomplished at a marked reduction over rail transportation cost direct to that point; which fact is one of the controlling factors In the new arrangement. Were, Serenaded P. N. Clark and bride, while at din ner at the'Danmoore Ifotel grill in Portland Tuesday between 6 and 7 o'clock, were tendered a serenade by salesmen and others connected with the Columbia Trust Company, of which Mr. Clark is president. Mr, Clark was married in Missouri recent ly and with his wife arrived in Port land Tuesday noon. The serenade by a band of some 10 pieces came as a sftrprise to the bride and groom, and after the entire party had entered the gril and extended their congatula tions, a theatre party was made up of those participating. Mr. Clark and Mrs. Clark stopped off .in Astoria on their way to Portland. He is very well known here. Tlcnty of smelts every day at Braden-Adams Meat Market. See ad on page 4, Puta in a Bulkhead Mrs, Upshur is putting in a bulk head on the north side of her prop erty at Third and Commercial street. As a result of cutting through, the new improvement there much of the natural support of the ground was taken away, with the result that the property slides more or less,' A large amount of earth has fallen across the street as cut through, just west of Second street, and it will probably be a very expensive matter for the con tractor to remove it, but inasmuch as the improvement has not been accept ed by the city the work of removal apparently will fall upon the contrac tor, Mr, Footc. Other places in the locality are also badly affected. - Hat Been Confirmed The news was received in this city yesterday morning of the confirma tion by the Federal Senate of the ap pointment of Frank J. Carney to be postmaster of Astoria. Mr. Carney ays it will take a good month in which to perfect the preliminaries, such as making and filing his bond, etc., and that he will hardly be ready to take over the business before the first of March next. With every re quisite needed to make a successful officer, the many friends of Mr. Car ney are but waiting for him to assume the responsibilities of the post, know ing full welt that he will handle it as it should be and to the popular satis faction. Dear Eggs The almoot prohibitive price of eggs this winter season again calls atten tion to the lamentable fact that Ore gon does not "raise" enough eggs for her own consumption, and even in the agriculture regions the farmers and others either have to buy their hen fruit or get along without any. That It is a difficult thing to success fully raise hens and to get them io lay eggt in the rainy winter season is an argument constantly advanced in explanation for the scarcity in and around Astoria. On the other hand some of those who have lived here for many years and have successfully raided hens and were jut as success ful in getting them to lay, say that it can be done just about as well here as any other place. It is pointed out that many have tried to raise them without proper, or even any reasonable care, Naturally the wet winter weather is not good for the hens and chicks can't be raided in spring without proper care. But it is said that any man or woman who goes at the business in an intelligent way, and will provide proper shelter for the hens, and es pecially will provide dry footing, can raise lots of hens cheaply. Some think there is a small fortune in the busi ness fr all who go at ,, it properly. "But, of course," added one man who was talking the matter over yester day, "there are people who couldn't even raise ducks in this wet country." PERSONAL MENTION Horace Addis, representing the Rural Spirit, one of the oldest jour nals of the State, and the leader in all farm papers on the coast, was in the city yesterday in the interestt of that publication. E. M. Crawford, the well known in surance man, went to Salem last even ing to take a little personal interest in some of the proposed legislation up there. G. T. Harris of Portland was a busi ness visitor in this city yesterday and was domiciled at the Occident. A. Daly of the metropolis, arrived in this city yesteday on a business quest. J. J.

O. G. Sandford of Salem was in the city yesterday. on a business errand and departed on the evening evprcss. R. W Abernathy of Spokane was in this city yesterday. C. V. Buckebile and Miss Ohn Burkebile of Seattle have come to Astoria to visit with Mrs. A. M. Ford and Miss McCrea for a week. They are cousins of Mrs. Ford and Miss McCrea. J. A. Petit and family of Portland registered at the Occident last night. H. Cruithaw of Tillamook was in the city last night and put up at the Occident hotel. f. W. Palmer, president and -man ager of the Westport Lumber Co., is n the city, and will leave for Port land this morning. He reports the Westport mills as running on full time, having started up last Saturday. The Westminster Recital. The musical recital to be given at the First Presbyterian church on Fri day evening of next week, under the auspices of the Westminster Guild, and in which the Misses Ewart figure as leaders, 'will probably be one of the artistic features of the 1908-1909 sea son, judging from the current com ment and such tributes as the follow ing from W, Gifford Marsh who is responsible for the high culture these young ladies stand for. He says, "I consider that my students, Erma and Evelyn Ewart, possess the Divine spark of musically .endowed natures. The excellence of their ensemble playing cannot fail to gain recogni ASTORIA HIGH DEFEATS TIUAIM Ml JUDGES GIVE UNANIMOUS DE CISION AFTER DEBATE LAST NIGHT The iuterscholastic debate between the Astoria and Tillamook High Schools in the Astoria theatre last night ended in a victory for the As toria team. The decision as announced by the judges, Rev. W. S. Gilbert, John H.j Whyte and Custaf Hemple, was, unanimous, and that it mer with the j entire approval of the audience was manifest by the quick applause that followed and the many expressions in regard to the matter heard from indi viduals. While the three Judges were all Astorians, that very fact probably made them all the more careful in rendering a verdict in favor of their own city, and presumably none will question in the least that they allowed their natural local pride to influence them in the least in giving the de cision. After the debate the visiting de baters and a large crowd of the As toria High School students, including the local team, of course, wenfto the I. O, O. F. ball to sit down to the repast that had been set forth there. The theatre wat well filled, there being perhaps an audience of upwards of 400 present. They listened to the debate with interest and many appar ently, paid a keen interest in the points as they were made and driven home by the various contestants. For Astoria the three debaters were Mary Kelley, Alex Sigurdson and Lawrence Dineen, For Tillamook they were Eliza Dawson, Helen Biby and Nellie Hannenkratt. The subject was the ownership by municipalities of all public utilities, and Astoria High had the affirmative. Both sides seemed to have the subject matter well in hand, and though it had been feared that the local debaters might not be as well prepared in the memor izing and handling of the subject matter as th;ir opponents, many ap parently thought they were even bet ter prepared than the Tillamookers. The judges evidently thought that the local debaters had the best of it all around, and they had no hesitation in arriving at their verdict. Upon the whole the debaters were very good. While it is but natural that there is more "drag" to a debate of this kind than to a bright and live ly play, nevertheless the contest last night was sufficiently wideawake and lively to keep everyone interested and on the qui vive. After the debate was over and de cision announced the students cheered their victorious team and then also cheered the visitors from Tillamook, and as the crowd of students wended their way to the banquet hall their progress was market by constant cheering in honor of the High School victory. Company Drill At the regular meeting of the First Company last night in Foard & Stokes hall the men were again drill ed in handling their blankets. Prepa rations are being made for the inspec tion Saturday night. The plan of securing the hall in the Athletic club building is still in an unsettled condi tion. The present armory is said not to be in condition for drills, and it is said the owners of the property have announced they wll not be responsi ble for the safety of the structure. It will be necessary to move and the question now is to find a place for the armory. REALTY TRANSFERS Wm. II.

OWENS AD AIR, It would seem from the following that Indiana already leads Oregon in the matter of sterilizing its perverts and idiots and criminals. Dr. Owens- Adair writes as follows to the As torian and encloses a copy of the law which has been used for two years: "Today I have succeeded in rinding the Indiana law which was enacted in 1907. This law is similar to my own and has been in operation since enact ment. I ampleased to say that a re port published m the American Medi cal Journal of 1908 states that the workings of the law have proved most satisfactory; that many of the patients bad asked for the operation for their protection, and that some bad even written to friends outside advising them to take the treatment for their protection and safety. Copy of Indiana Law. "Whereas, heredity plays a most important part in the transmission of crime, idiocy and imbecility; "Therefore, be it enacted by the general assembly of the State of In diana, That on and after the passage of this act it shall be compulsory for each and every institution in the state, entrusted with the care of confirmed criminals, idiots, rapists and imbeciles, to appoint upon its staff, in addition to the regular institutional physician, two (2) skilled surgeons of recogniz ed ability, whose duty it shall be, in conjunction with the chief physician of the institution, to examine the mental and physical condition of such inmates as are recommended by the institutional physician and board of managers. If, in the judgment of this committee of experts and the board of managers, procreation is in advisable and there is no probability of improvement of the mental condi tion of the inmate, it shall be lawful for the surgeons to perform such op eration for the prevention of procrea tion as shall be decided safest and most effective. But this operation shall not be performed except in cases that have been pronounced tin- improvable; provided, That in no case shall the consultation fee be more than three ($3.00) dollars to each ex pert, to be paid out of the funds ap propriated for the maintenance of such institution."

"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy" is Coming Attraction Sunday Night The piece is not one of familiar class, but is new in plot and method of treatment. As a rule the cowboy ;of the stage geta a mite too stagy, but not so with Mr. Lerch, be has struck a strong individual note. He is not of the powder burning kind, but nev ertheless can get the drop as rapidly as any cowboy of the plains, as Mr. Lerch during bis vacations amuses himself as a bronco buster on bis ranch a few miles out of Cheyenne, Wyo., so he is familiar with cowboy life. The plot of the play is a beau tiful lesson, with good morals and clearly shows the high price of virtue and true love in the west The play is well worked out and the company gives good effects in strong dramatic situations. - The scenery which the company carries is perfect in every detail and no expense has been spared to make this one of the dramatic events of the season. GIRLS OUST DARKIES. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan. 27. The arrival here yesterday of a speci al from Boston bearing 250 waitress es to replace the negro waiters at a local hotel has spread consternation among the darkies. It is predicted that several of the hotels will import young white women and that practic ally all the negro waiters will be thrown out of employment soon. In significant though the change in wait ers may appear, an exodus of negroes would mean a marked change in the political complexion of Atlantic City, for the negroes have long held the balance of political power in the city. Republican machine leaders are not in favor of the new move. TAFTS SON ILL. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 27. Over exertion during "prom" week, together with his duties as a member of "prom" committee and the effects of the changeable weather caused the illness of Robert A. Taft son of President-elect Taft, who was removed from his apartments yesterday to the Yale infirmary. His condition is not serious and the illness is said to be principally a case of acute indigestion. He probably will be in the infirmary about a week.' . 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 you can rely 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 noymly 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 finjsh? Remember "FERNDALE" costs no more than the other kind.
