The plant and territory of the A

In circuit court yesterday the suit
of James Finlayson against Frank
Patton and others who formed the
Moore Logging Company was set
for trial on February 26; and a simi
lar suit brought by G. Wingate
against the same defendants was set
to follow the first action. The
defendants ere alleged to
have taken tome of the timber
off from plaintiffs' lands, though the
amount involved is not large. It is
understood the defendants justify
their action on the grounds that they
deemed they had properly purchas
ed the timber.

The Man Who Eats.
The man who eats does so with
the expectation of being satisfied. To
this end he seeks the best possible
place to gratify his normal appetite at
most rational expense. These things
account for the steady stream of
people to and from the portals of the
Palace Restaurant in this city. The
reputation of the Palace is founded
immoveably upon the certainty and
amplitude of the service it renders to
every purse, and appetite, Dig ana

A jury in the circuit court yester
day afternoon found William Nyberg
guilty of having told liquors in
dry precinct that it, in Uppertown,
where Nyberg conducti the Imperial
cigar ftore at 1361 Franklin avenue.
Judge McBride did not impose sent
ence at the conclusion of the mat
ter yesterday afternoon but probab
ly will announce the tentence this
morning. On the preceding day An
ton Kuljit of Clifton was fined $300
for an offense of a tomewhat similar
nature.
The jury wa out less than half an
hour, and It i understood that they
arrived at their verdict without any
difficulty, all voting for conviction
upon the first ballot. The jury was
composed of John Nordstrom, Jacob
Heblack, John Chitwood, A. W. Ut-
zinger, Feter GuIIickson, Hugh
Cameron, W. G Shaw, S. Abraham
ton, F. W. Preston. George Hills, W.
F.. Blackstock. Mr. Nordstrom was
made foreman.
There had been two indictments
returned against Nyberg upon one
of which he wa yesterday tried, and
to the surprise of some the grand
ury yesterday returned even more
true bills against Nyberg. all accus
ing him of telling liquor at hi
Uppertown ciagr ttore. Convicted
on the first, Nyberg (till has eight
other indictment to face. That Dis
trict Attorney Tongue and hit assist
ant, Mr. Brownell, are going after
the illicit sale of liquors in hammer
and tong fashion is indictated by the
seven new indictment ' returned
gainst Nyberg yesterday, and the
force and vim with which the case
esterday wa prosecuted. '
Attorney Curtit appeared for the
defendant and "waa not backward
last evening in calling down anathe
ma on the heads of the two prosecu
tors for the seven extra indictments
against his client. Mr. Curtis said
that every indictment will be fought,
no matter how many convictions are
obtained.
The complaining witness in the in
dictment on which Nyberg was tried
yesterday was John Poukkala, who is
now in Finland. The absence of
Poukkala made a conviction more
difficult but other witnesses were
called in who testified to purchasing
drinks in the place. Some said they
had bought or saw whisky sold there,
and others testified that beer was
sold there. The evidence tended to
show pretty clearly that Nyberg had
a trade in something.
Fbr the defense it was said that
nothing but "Maltonia" was sold by
Nyberg. "Maltonia" is manufactured
by the North Pacific Brewing Com
pany and was defined' by the presi
dent of that company as being a
non-alcoholic beverage, containing
merely 14 per cent of alcohol; "Mal
tonia is beer with the alcohol eva
porated" A sort of "near-beer " The
jury evidently thought that some
thing else beside the "Maltonia had
been sold there, however, as had
been testified to by witnesses for the
prosecution. If .Judge McBride
should impose a fine of the same
amount as in the Clifton case, and
the fact that this was in a dry pre
cincts would perhaps appear to make
the circumstances ' even more aggra
vating, and if the same fine were
imposed after a conviction in each of
the eight other indictments, Nyberg
would have an aggregate of $2700 to
pay.
The court room was well crowd
ed yesterday during the trial of the
Nyberg case, quite a few from Up
pertown being there, and the crowd
also included several saloonkeepers.
No criminal cases are set for to
day. Tomorrow the case against v-
Falangos of Clifton, accused of sell
ing liquors without a license, will
be heard.
Running The Gauntlet
David Kirk of Chippewa Falls,
Wis., arrived in the city yesterday
for the purpose of looking the coun
try over with a view to purchasing
property in thi tection. Mr. Kirk
it a civil engineer by profession- At
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
Kirk atated that he had stopped over
in Portland and while there had at
tempted to make various inquiries
about Astoria, and that in every case
the Portlander "knocked" Attoria
right and left, and even went out of
their way to conceal information
about thi city. Thia complaint ha
been heard o often that it no longer
teem new, and yet why busine
men of the metropoll fear to give
stranger information about thi
place 1 now easy to understand, un
less it arise from fear and jealousy.
YESTERDAY'S LAUMCHES
ilSIOl WATERS
THE STELLA LAUNCH "NORA"
THE TAKES WATER, AS
DOES THE "VIKING."
Judge McBride Explains
When asked by a representative of
the Attorian yeiterday if he had re
ceived the communication from the
Astoria Water Commission, asking
him to interpret the provision of the
charter relating to the qualifications
of it members, Judge McBride said
that he had. "I received the com
munication," he aid, "and turned
the matter over in my mind, but I
didn't see that I could properly
grant the request. It perhaps looks
a if there is omethwir there that
requires interpretation, but of course
the matter might arise before me in
an official capacity, and to I didn't
see that I could reply with the re
quest But if the question needs
clearing1 up, it will be easy enough to
ddl it. Let it be presented in court and
then of course I will be glad to give
it close attention." Judge McBride
said he was sorry that he had not
felt able to comply with the request,
and also said he had meant to see
some of the gentlemen of the com
mission In relation to the matter but
had not yet been able to do so. The
water commission at its recent meet
ing Instructed the city attorney to
bring the matter Into court, ia the
manner now ugested by Judge Mc
Bride, so that There Is hope of bavfng
decision on the vexed question
fairly soon.

SCREAMS V SNORES.
ELMHURST, Cal., Feb. 18. Al
though Mrs. V- Alves of this place
screamed lustily when she awoke at
4 A. M., and found a burglar in the
room she was not able to awaken her
husband, who snored serenely while
the housebreaker, terrified by the
woman's screams made his escape as
rapidly as possible. In his haste the
burglar overlooked a case of jewels,
but he carried away a valuable watch.
Yesterday morning at exactly
10:05 o'clock, in the presence of
about 60 invited guests, the fine and
powerful motor launch "Nora," be
longing to Messrs. Struckmier &
Morton of Stella, Wash., complete
in every detail fore and aft, alow and
aloft, slipped from the Vayt at the
yards of J. Driscoll & Company, in
thit city, to the waiting tide of the
majestic Columbia- She presented
very handsome appearance in the
shops, but on the water the was a
veritable beauty for line and poise,
and rode the tide as though the has
been developed from it Mr. Nel
son Troyer, Miss Hattie Utzinger
and Miss Nancy G. Reed were on
the deck of the "Nora" when the
passed to her own element, along
with Mr. Troyer, Mr. F. C Fox, and
several other gentlemen interested,
but neither of the owner of the fine
craft were present owing to pressure
of business matters up the river.
The "Nora" is 58 feet long, with a
beam of 11.6 feet and draws four and
one-half feet. She is equipped with
a splendid a Horsepower iroyer-
Foic engine, of the latest type, and
has commodious quarters and freight
room. She has all the essential
equipment carried by boats of her
class, and every detail is of the best.
Her power was tried out on the in
stant the touched the water and re
sponded promptly and adequately,
and the subsequent trial run proved
her to be in the best of order, barring
the newness of everything about, and
the long-distance trial will follow
this morning in final confirmation of
ber excellence at all points.
She will cost, all told, in the neigh
borhood of $7000 and her builders
are naturally, and justifiably, proud
of her, as her owners are bound
to be.
At practically the same hour, there
was launched from the ways of Wil
son Brothers, in Uniontown, the As
toria Lumber Company's new and
spanking steam launch, the "Viking,"
a fine SJ-toot Doat mat win oe maac
the best possible use of by the com
pany when it resumes business in
the course of a few weeks. She is
of heavy beam, being nearly 15 feet,
and is driven by the engines once in
the steamer Volga, which should
give her all the energy needed in her
business which will be in towing rafts
and -doing general utility work
around the company s mill and
booms.
Thus Astoria waters are still
further marked with two excellent
craft that will be notable in the
local commerce.
