Oraduatlon Exercises So large I crowd attended the graduating exercise of the F.ighth grade pupils in the Bakeronian thea tre yesterday afternoon that aome were hardly able to make their way in, The exercises were interning and passd off nicely, according to program. , I He The Same Man? There are a good many people In thia city who are wondering aa to the Identity of the man W. S. Dudley, mixed up in Friday's gun-play over at Seattle, with the promoter of the Astoris-Sesslde ; Electric J venture here nearly two yeara ago. He was quite popular here personally at that time, even If he did fail to carry that project through,-...... ?. Water Floods Again It was reported yetterday that the repairs made to the dykes at the Old Oregon mills wathed out the preceding night and that the water had flooded everything there in bad shape agnin, " Mies Warren Returning - Miss Emma C Warren, who has been sojourning in California for the past six weeks, it expected home on the late train tonight, though there it tome possibility of delay bcrauxe of the storms that have been occuring along the Southern Pacific in North ern California. Mini Warren expects to take up her duties as county super intendent Monday morning- During her absence her place has been filled In a capable manner by Mrs. Lowe. Waa Buried Yesterday The funeral of the late Daniel Ramey. the well known pioneer citi- ten of Knappa occurred from his home in that village yesterday, Rev. W. Seymour Short, rector of Crace episcopal church, officiating. There were very many in attendance at the obsequies, from here and from the surrounding country, and the floral tribute were numerous and beautiful Mr. Ramey died full of years and honors, and was among the oldest of the Clatsop pioneers. uay and tr.un .i,.ii.,icr nave huu to he made again, out the break is made good again temporarily; and the boom of the Old Oregon mills, with several millions of feet of logs in it, Is threatened, but every effort i un derwgy to hold ft and the property behind it. There is surely going to be something doing over that 1 way unlets prompt steps are taken to repair the worn-out dikes, since it is the fierce run of the ebb tides through the brcaki in these dikes that is the chief menace of the hour. WiU Tax Capacity The seating capacity of the High behoof rooms will now be pretty severely taxed with the admission of the 30 or more pupils who have just graduated from the Eighth grades. The seating capacity of the rooms is 140, and there are now about 14S pupils, not countings the 30 or more who now take up the High school studies. Just what will be done to seal all is not yet figured out. New Contracting Firm Astoria is fortune in the new part nership just negotiated by the Stadin Bros, G. O. and G. M., two capable and well trained carpenters, builders and mechanics generally, who have opened a shop and office at the corner of Ninth and Duane street, from whence they will undertake to do all manner of building and contracting. They are excellent young citizens and worthy a fair share of the patronage that makes that business so success ful In this section. Mean Trick ' Shortly after midnight the fire de partment were called by an alarm sent from Box 16. The firemen an swered promptly, and after a hard run to the supposed scene of fire were disguttly to find that someone had deliberately broken the glass and turned in the alarm, evidently for no other purpose than to put the men to a lot of useless trouble, as the fire men made a thorough investigation, without finding the least trace of fire. This sort of thing has happened be fore and if the guilty scamp is ever caught he will no doubt it punished to the limit as he justly deserves. u.ry 'wtiurt A petition having been made by iet tiers in the Nehalem Valley that a bridge be constructed across the river there, the county court yesterday took the matter under advisement, but inasmuch as the building of this bridge wa not contemplated when the levy for thia year wa made there is no fund on band for the work, and the court will take the matter up with a view of constructing the bridge when the road from Astoria to Ne halem it completed. Meantime it is the opinion of the court that until the road is completed it is best to apply all fundi there. The petition asked that the bridge be built at the point where the Vine Maple post- office formerly was. It was also or dered that the road petitioned for by Andrew P. Lillmess on the north fork of the Clatskanie be opened. Country Dance The dancin's hall in the Athletic Club was crowded to overflowing last night with couplet and everybody had good time. Despite the stormy night the dancers came early and re malned until the last waltx was play ed. The big crowd last night, and the good time, all seemed to have, in dicate that such dances are. very pop ular and it is quite probable the club will give others. The music was good last night and the floor in fine shape for dancing.

New Passenger Tariff At the Instance of some intervenor, who live west of Astoria on the line of the A. & C. Railway, that com pany has voluntarily consented to bring its passenger tariffs, as they pertain to the lesser stations and dis tances, the three-cent-a-mile (having met the complainants at the office the State RailroUd Commission at Sa lem, in thia behalf), but it ia claimed the company will hardly interfere with the present 2-cent rate applying between this ; city and Portland; though such a step might increase its revenues materially. The changes wrought by the new tariff are all of a minor sort and will effect only the stations near the coast, Waters At Warrenton i Conditions , are practically as bad as ever over at Warrenton as far as the access of waters, caused by in terminable rains and the tide runs in the broken dikes. The fields are flush with backwater and the stock is wad ing 1 helplessly about. . The original break in the A. & C. fill this side of that city, was broached again on Fri- The Ewart Recital For the second time this week the music lover of Astoria have been peculiarly indifferent to the offerings of genuine talent and superb pro grams. The piano recital by the Misset Ewart of Portland at the First Presbyterian church last even ing, was but meagrely attended and pleasure lay with those who chose to be there. The young ladies played delightfully and displayed wonderful mastery of the piano in all the ranges of accomplished technique, and sing ly, and together, wrought splendidly with the extraordinary gifts that are theirs. They were ably assisted by Miss Irene Simington, whose perfect tones and unaffected style won dis tinct approbation from all present. The entertainment was on high and enjoyable levels and wholly pleasing. the paucity of auditors being the only detracting element in this, other wise, charming and compensating musical feast. Clatsop Delegation ' The Clatsop county delegation in the state legislature seems to figure pretty actively in many of the mat ters that arise. In the Senate Sena tor ' Scholfield naturally keeps watchful eye on fish legislation, while Representative Leinenwebcr as chairman of the fish committee In the house has much to do in a com municatiori to a friend in this city Mr. Leinenwebcr states that it is a fight to conserve Clatsop's interests Representative McCue, as a member of the judicial cotnmitee, especially, has taken an active interest in var ious debates, and he puts up a note- worthily strong effort against the passage of the new pilotage bill, which does away with compulsory pilotage. Senator Scholfield has in troduced quite a number of bills, among othera one dealing with the question of dykes. A Tasty Spread for Daily Bread Saniarimn Peanut Duller More nutritious than meat Makes Delicious Sandwiches Scholfield, Mattson Co. phone 1181 GOOD GOODS 120 TO 124 TWELFTH STREET Amend McCue'a Bill Too much money would be avail able for publicity under the McCue measure, II. B. 51, so the Senate de cided to amend it. This bill was only passed in the House after I contest, and it met another in the Senate. The object of the bill is to enable counties to levy a tax for a publicity fund, and to hire a professional booster, The bill provided that a tax of two mills could be levied by the County Court. In Multnomah county this would bring $472,000 for publicity. In Marion it would mean $62,000, in Jackson $53,200, in Washington $24, 000, and Clatsop $17,000.. The amount which could be raised by two mills in other counties has not been figured out. It was proposed to comprom ise on 1 mill, but this was considered too high, and the Senate concluded that one-half of 1 mill would be ample, and the bill was sent back as amended- , ' ' Refund The Money The Clatsop county court has been reimbursed by the commissioners of Wahkiakum county for the expenses incidental to the inquest held In this city over the body of ; Madelalne Longtaine. This coutesy on the part of the Washington officials is appre ciated for while the expense should naturally have been met by the Wah kiakum authorities, nevertheless there probably was no legal duty on their part to pay it, Frank Olson, prose cuting attorney of Wahkiakum coun ty, appeared before the county court yesterday lor the purpose of secur ing the official testimony taken during the inquest here, and it was ordered that it be turned over; also that the exhibits in the hands of Coroner Gil baugh be turned over. It is stated that a copy of the testimony is in the hands of the defense, also. Firemen's Ball. . The Warrenton ' Volunteer Fire Department will give a firemen's ball in Warren Hall, Warrenton, on Fri day evening, February 12th. Gents $1.50, ladies 50c, spectator 25c. Girls' Basketball : A game of basketball will be play ed this evening ' between the girls' team of the Astoria High School and the fine girls' team from the Mon mouth Normal School. The Mon mouth team-is said to be a very strong one, and perhaps the best in the" state among the girls. While the local team is thought to be a good team it ha had little actual ex penence in game against other teams, yet nevertheless a pretty spir ited contest is looked for tonight. The game willbe in the Athletic Club gymnasium and an admission fee will be charged, as the expenses of the visiting team must be met. For the home team, Fannie Gregory and Elva Jeldncss will play forwards; Addie Abercrombie and Lennah Parker, guards; Myrtle Harrison, center; and Leola Balyl and Bernice McGregor will be in readiness as substitutes. In the interests of athletic it may be a sort of duty for Astorians to give their patronage T to the game, and there is no question that all will get "their money's worth." -"' REALTY TRANSFERS Piles Cured in 8 to 14 Days PAZO OINTMENT ia guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protruding Files in 6 to .14 days or money refunded. 50 cents.

Without saying a word Herman Wise hiked himself to Chicago and New York to get ahead of his com petitors and the boys in his store are tickled because the new spring styles of suits for men and young men are so beautiful, nothing like them has ever been seen before. Mr. Wise writes from the east that he just went to the leading manufacturers ttnd asked the special favor of giving him the 'first pick of the latest things ia suits. As a result "the stylish "fellows in Astoria will have the latest Spring suits ahead of ariy city on5 the coast and as soon as the good dressers of the ' eastern metropolis. ' Mr. Wise states' that price cuts no figure with him.1' It was style and workmanship that lie was after and he secured what is best today in Chicago and New York..' ; .-:', . -4 Look in the windows of Wise's store and see what the Broadway chaps are going to wear. There's nothing slow about Herman' Wise He is Astoria's champion clothier arid there is not one of them in all Oregon to take the championship away from him. Whoopla, but the salesmen in Wise's clothing store are proud of the old man's scoop. In addition to these new" spring clothes Mr. Wise has sent by express the niftiest neckwear. If you want the latest; if you want style; come to Wises for you can't lock foolish in a Wise suit.
