Word has been re ceived that Bishop Scadding will not be able to be in Astoria on Friday as he had expected, so the service at Holy Innocents' chapel will not be held as announced. The bishop will be In the city Thursday afternoon and will meet the chapel committee at 2:30 o'clock, returning on the evening train.

Leaves For Raymond Andrew Slppola, the popular young Finnish tailor, has made up his mind to leave Astoria for what he deems a better business chance over In Ray mond, Washington, and will depart this morning . He Intends to open a first-class tailoring business In that lively little city, and there are plenty of people, In this" city, who have known Mr. Slppola for the past six years, to wish Mm an abundance of business success, and to honestly re gret the exigencies that seem to Justify his removal from here. Pound Dead on Steamer The new reached this city yester day of the sad fact that A. B. Coe. formerly of Astoria, and lately one of the engineers on the steamer Vulcan plying In Portland waters, was found dead in his stateroom and berth on tb vessel little after mid night. The discovery was made when he was called to take hia shift. The steamer put into Rainier at once and the grave matter waa placed in the official custody of the coroner there. Mr. Coe waa born in this city and was known here far and wide on the river and well liked everywhere. A Sewr Contention Member of the council commit tee on streets yesterday looked ovei the laying of the sewer on Irving avenue along the street in front of the George II. George home. At the session of the council ou the previous evening Mr. George complained that the street was being dug up on his side of the street, while he averred the sewer ought to be laid on the other side. One of the mcmbrs of the committee said last evening that it probably would be most feasible t have the trench dug on the south side, anyway, and thus' it appears as if Mr. George will be sustained. Big Sum Expected Dispatches from Washington state that in addition to itema heretofore enumerated, the river and harbor bill soon to be reported to the House, will carry $500,000 for continuation of the work on the Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River, $200. 000 for repairing and operating the dredge Chinook, : $100,000 for con tinuing Improvement of the Fortland-to-the-sea channel, together with a survey of this part of the river, looking to procuring of 30-foot channel. The appropriation for the mouth of the Columbia River Is far the largest single item in the bill, and the Portland engineering district will receive more than twice the amount carried for any other district In the country. This liberal treatment is J due to the energiea of the Oregon congressmen and Representative Jones, who is on the river and har bor committee. Blanket y Blank Falsifier , Though in as kindly a manner as poihle, it seems tlx time is ripe to call the ground hog a prevaricator, a blankety blank falsifier of the first water, He came out on February 2 and did not see his shadow, which of course meant that fine weather was to follow In accordance with ground hog promises. No fine weather has followed. The sun ha not shone since. If the ground hog had any sense of decency at attt any pride in his word, he might have given at least a little glimpse of sunny weath er after his deliberate prognostica tion on February 2 that everything was to be fine. What' the use of having any faith in the ground hog at all if we are to be, treated this away? Meantime "old residents" unite in saying that it Is one of the worst Februarys ever known here at least during the past few year. Crowded Schoolroom Because of the crowded conditions of the High School building It will be nercMnry to make various channel there and the question presents sev eral problems Fi rst of all it looks as if the play 100m will have to be mainly sacrificed. Mr, Clark, ht su perintendent, said last night that one of the primary clais.es will prob ably be placed in the play room; the Uurd grade down into the basement; the fourth into the Ffifrni nnw ftrrt. pied by the third, and the High School overflow in the room in the southwest corner of the main build ing. It is said to be probable that next fall the entire i!ay room wilt have to be utilized. The little folk. will thus not have any playroom at all. A new busldine will be ineiis. able noon. Delay in Franchise The franchise aked for by the Oregon Coast Railway Company for the proposed new electric line over the city streets, wai net presented at the meeting of the council MonH night. The whole franchise h.is been gone over very carefully by the cotin ""immee and there i apparently niy one question that is dclayinR nc framing of the franchiie. It now includes a provision that earli every car of the company that enters the city shall be licensed yearly in the sum of Some of the gentle men interested in promoting the lin 1 I - - J yfftntafillJtii Demonstrates and is more convincing than talk that Wise is the champion clothier of Astoria and that you can't look foolish when you trade with Wise. The earliest and choicest from off the clothing tree, picked personally by Mr. Wiset are here in Astoria as soon as the fastidious dressers of metroplitan cities can get them Handsome patterns, made in conservative .models, by master mechanics of the craft Warranted to hold their shape. This make is for the mid dle aged gentleman of refined taste. $20.00 to 3 5.00 rnrr I a $3.00 Hat or Suit of Underwear will be give FREE with each spring suit bought this j MILL i month as a special inducement. 3 object to this; they lake the wide ground that when the line is once built and in operation there is strong probability that it can be largely used in hauling timber into the city for the mill here; and that if the timber industry wai ever de veloped to the extent that It can be developed, that the company might even utilize hundreds of cars and in that event t license of $30 on each car would thep perhaps prove t hard ship. Also that the great desire now is to do everything possible to aid in bringing such t line here, instead of trying to figure how a small reve nue can be made out of It for the municipality. Opposed to these argu ments the gentlemen of the council committee apparently simply aver that a lieense of $30 on each car is not tt all exorbitant, and should be paid; and that it makes no difference whether there are five car or 300, for the more the car the more the earning capacity to pay for the li censes. It does not seem that the question is of such a nature as to cause any serious deadlock and prob ably before the next meeting of the council the whole matter will be agreed upon amicably The whole question now appears to be In most excellent shape. A meeting of the Oregon Coast Company directors will be held today, and inside of a month the matter of the finances Is expected to be settled. . Grand Jury Meet I he grand jury was in session much of the day yesterday and it ia understood that various criminal cases were presented them for con sideration. No Indictments were re turned last evening. The case against A. Kuljis of Clifton will be tried some time today, with Smith Bros, as attorneys for the defendant. The charge Is selling liquor in a dry precinct. The case against F. Falan go. also of Clifton, on a similar charge, will probably arise the latter part of the week. Both of these de fendants pleaded not guilty yester day. A demurrer In the case against William Kyberg wjll be argued this morning. For Sale.

The girls' basketball team of the Astoria High School will meet the Hood River High School girl team at the Athletic Club gymnasium in this city on Saturday night, and this game should prove one well worth while going to see. That the girls of the Astoria High are capable of putting up a fast game has already been demonstrated, and during the the past week they have been coach ed by Harry Harbert, one of the star players of the Athletic Club team. Under his tuition they have develop ed in various ways, it is reported. A week from Saturday night they will play the Chemawa Indian girls here, and this also should be a fine con test. If the Astoria girl take either of these games it will put them in the ranks of the leading teams of the State, among girls' teams. Fanny Gregory is the manager of the local team, and Lennah Parker captain, and Harry Harbert will con tinue to act as coach. The line-up for the first half for the Saturday night game of the local players, is as follows: Forwards, Myrtle Harrison and Elva Jetdness; center, Fannie Gregory; guards, Len nah Parker and Addie Abercrombie In the second half probably several other girls will be substituted, so as to give them a chance to get into the game, mere ts an over-pius oi gooa material While there has been the keenest sort of interest developed in basket ball among many ladies and gentle men some would find more pleasure in the contests if they understood the rules a little bit better; the question of fouls especially bothers many. Jt few short rules are here appended which may be of some aid: Field goal counts 2 points. Goal thrown free, after foul, counts 1 point- Hitting, pushing, holding or un-. 1 m& Wirnu. $5.00 Knox Hats $5.00 'The Hat with a Reputation" $3.00 7 The lm GORDON Hat best Union Label Hat in the necessary roughness is a foul. Guarding outside of line, or taking two or more steps with the ball that Is, running with the ball constitute fouls. All foul called by referee or um pire entitle opposite side to a free throw for the basket. Made a Quite Sortie- Immigration Inspector Raphael Bonham, of this city, in company with Head Watchman Alisky, of the Portland office, and an interpreter, yesterday morning made a quiet sor tie Into Chinatown after a group of people of that nationality, of whom there was alight suspicion as to their status under the laws governing their entry into America. There were eight men in the group and after they had been taken to Mr. Bonham's office, it was found; that seven of them were unquestionably in proper shape as to credentials, but the eighth, one Lum Kl, upon his own admission, was found to be in questionable shape and the matter wa at once referred to higher authority for an adjustment. and in the meantime Lum Ki is held pending the order that shall be re ceived in course. There were any amount of Chinamen who expressed themselves as willing to go bail for the man, who has been In this coun try for a number of years. Called to Chicago Mrs. Geo. W. Roberts, wife of the well known O. R. & N. agent in this city, has been called suddenly to her home in Chicago, by the audden and serious illness of her mother, Mrs- J. H. Acton, who i said to be at the point of death, and is now hurrying across the continent on he anxious and unhappy quest, having left Port land on Monday evening. Mrs. Ac ton is most happily remember by many friends in Astoria, where she visited a year or more ago, with her husband, and the hope is expressed on all sides that the afflicted lady may recover safely from her present ailment. Mr. and Mrs. Acton had in tended to come out to this city again this summer and perhaps make it their settled home; and in the event of the lady's restoration, that pleas ant program may yet be fulfilled. Going After Games W. A. Kinney, secretary of the Athletic Club, is going up to Port- world Nil i f ' land tonight for the purpose of try ing to arrange some games between the clubs of that city and vicinity and the Astoria Club. Mr. Kinney win call at the Multnomah Club, and also at the Vancouver club and will try t see what can be done to bring about some basketball games first of alt Challenges have been tent to these organizations, but they have thus far been ignored perhaps because Astoria has no reputation as yet and Mult nomah and others don't think it worth while to play with the local teamsi The Athletic Club boys are confident they can make a showing that will surprise the team from that part of the State and are only wait ing for a chance to get at them. By personal interviews Mr, Kinney ex pects to make some definite arrange ments and in all probability he will come back with some matches ar ranged for. He will also make some necessary purchases while up there for the club. REALTY TRANSFERS H, F. Cooley and wife to W- E.
