Franseen "ASTORIA'S LEADING TAILOR" 179 Eleventh St. Phone Main 371 1 A Busy Plant The Astoria Iron Works is one of the real busy spots in Astoria. They are running night and day , shifts there and can hardly keep the work out of their way at that. There are orders on file now for 22 Troyer-Fox engines now underway, besides plcn ty of other Important contracts pend lug and In different stages of progress and completion. Still Improving The proprietors of the well known. Oregon Bakery, at the corner of Ninth and Commercial streets, ari busy making an enlargement of their plant, to accommodate the new elec tric bread-mixer that have Just pur chased from the J. H. Day Company, at Cincinnati, and now en route to this city. It is the most modern and sanitary style and system of band- ling dough and will be a distinct ad vantages business and trade; there will be no hand-work at all, and the expedition in disposing of big batch es will be an economic as well as technical benefit to the company. Miased Their Train The basketball game scheduled for last night between the Hood River High school girls' team and the girls ot the Astoria High was not played. The Hood River girls missed their connection at Portland and could not get here. The game will be played Mondav niaht. at 8 o'clock sharp. A large crowd was present last night to see the contest and many were disappointed because of the absence of the up-river players- Those who wish may see the game tomorrow night and after that attend the country dance, as the game will be over by 9 o'clock. It should prove an exciting contest. Transportation Too Costly Manager Frank Hanlin made the unpleasant announcement yesterday that he has been forced to cancel the engagements and dates at the As toria opera house for the "Stubborn Cinderella" (February 24th), and "Burgomaster" (March Sth) troupes. Owing to the fact that these great companies, with SO or 60 people each, could not stand for the transporta tion costs as between this city and Portland, no allowance being made them fotj the numbers of people In transit either way. It Is with much chagrin that Mr. Hanlin declares this fact, as both plays were among the stellar attractions of the winter sea son here, and especially the "Stub born Cinderella." Who Will Be New Judge Both the senate and house have paed the bill creating a new circuit judgeship for the Fifth Judicial Cir cuit, and the bill provides that the new judge shall be appointed from either Clatsop or Columbia counties. Inasmuch as the bill carries no emer gency clause it will not become law until after Governor Chamberlain goes out of office, and hence the ap pointment seems certain to be made by Mr. Benson, now secretary of state and who will succeed Chamber lain as governor. That will give a Republican governor, and other things being equal, he is likely to appoint a Republican judge. It is thought likely that the new judge will be from Astoria, and the num ber of possible candidates does not seem to be very large. Several of the Astoria attorneys are looked up on as men who would make most ex cellent material for the place, but it is likely that one or more of them would not be quite willing to give up their lucrative practices to take a judgeship. Just what figure politic! will cut in the appointment is of course only problematical thus far. Grave Charges Preferred- Manager McGec, .of the Astoria Electee Company, has laid before the Clatsop grand jury, a set of giv en facts, that will eventuate in the utterance of an indictment against J. W. Kelly, who for thc past three years has been chief engineer and master mechanic of the company's system in this city; the direct charge being larceny, and the matter and acts constituting the alleged crime being that he has deliberately appro priated certain valuable , materials belonging to the company and dis posed of them to certain local and Portland firms, with intent to mulct the company of their value.. It is nl leged that Mr. Kelly has spirited away property of a value approxi mating several thousands of dollars, and that he has had confederates ip the ugly premise. The indictment was expected to Issue yesterday, and immediate action will be" taken looking to the apprehension of Kelly and his prosecution under the charge named. He left .this city some lays oro for the metropolis, but it is not known whether he is there yet or not. It is said that a bench war rant will be put out on the Instant the grand jury acts on the case. Senator ScholEeld Explains In a letter to this paper from Sena tor Scholficld he !tatei that it is not true he was In favor of Mr. McCue'i house bill providing means whereby one city could annex territory. In a story several dayi ago the Astorian explained how this) bill would favor Seaside, and "that Senator Scholficld would do battle for it in the Senate." The Astorian took ita Information on this matter from the Oregonian, and is now pleased to rectify the erron eous statement, Sayi Senator Schol ficld; "How this idea got out that I am in favor 'of thia bill it more than I can tell." Evidently the corre spondent! at Salem must have mis understood hii attitude. Senator Scholficld succeeded in having an ad verse report from the committee to which the bill was.referred and stat ed he expected to aucceed in carry ing out the adverse report of the com mittee. Kidnapped Chinese Woman A tong war has broken out among the Chinese of Portland and one of the incidents of the trouble was the kidnapping of a Chinese woman who was brought to this city and con cealed. At an early hour yesterday morning Police Officer Houghton saw some men about to put off in a launch ,and their mysteriou! actions and air of secrecy aroused hts sus picioni. He arrested the men and was astonished to find a woman among them. She was attired in men! garb. The little Chinese woman was taken to the police station and is still detained there. The men who had her in the boat with them were evidently trying to spirit her away but were frustrated by the police of ficer. A dispatch from Portland last night stated that a tong war had broken out there and that officers were coming down to Astoria after the woman. Detective Price arrived down on the evening train and will leave up with his prisoner this morn ing. The charge against him is grand larceny. New Marine Service Here If all goes well, by March 1st, next, there will be a new marine service between this port and the jetty and Fort Stevens, and Astoria water! will have a new and handsome steam craft to grace them. There are now building at the Willamette Iron Works at Portland, two vessels iden tically alike in every detail, both of steef, and both equipped with elec tric winches, towing machines, and steering gear; each 98 feet long, 22 feet beam,' eight feet draught; each of 350 horsepower enginery, and each billed to make 12 miles an hour. One of them goes to Puget Sound and the other comes to Astoria. Both belong to Uncle Sam, and the one assigned to duty here, will serve in the Quar termaster's Department, though be longing to the Artillery Corps. They are to be finished respectively, by March 1st and June 1st, the former coming ot this post. She will take the place of the steamer Major Guy Howard, which will undergo a very thorough overhauling and be put in prime condition in every particular. Route Of Cars The fact that the franchise for the electric street car line over the city streets is likely to be finally passed by the council at the next meeting, and that the line will probably be in course of construction soon, has sug gested to many a wish to know with exactness the streets in the city over which the line is to run. Following is the routes, carefully compiled: Point of beginning. 12th and Duane streets; south on 12th to Franklin avenue; west on Franklin avenue to 11th; south on 11th to Irving avenue. One branch over the hill is extended from 11th, east to 14th. The other branch is extended west from Irving avenue to 8th street. Two lines are contemplated over the hill; one over 8th street and the other over 14th street; down on the south side of the hill to McClure's avenue; and east on McClure's avenue to Sth street; south on Sth street to the Young's River bridge. From the Young's River bridge one line (the Water Grade Line), is extended around Smith's Point on Taylor avenue. Another line is extended around Smith's Point on Columbia avenue, and connects with Commercial street, Franklin and Irving avenues, on this side of the hill. From Irving avenue the line is extended east to 57th street, and' returns from 57th srtreet on Ironwood, Grand and Franklin avenues, to Uth street; 'and from 11th street and Franklin avenue down to 12th and Duane, the point Of beginning. Astoria Debaters Lose The Astorian was not able to se cure the result of the debate at New berg Friday night, though it expect ed a message from Mr- Clark as to the outcome. The fact that the local team lost the decision may have had something to do with their lack of One Piano Number With Each $5 Sale to Wise's Customer i YOUR HEAD may properly be called a crowned hat, when one of our hats rest upon it, there's STYLE and DIGNITY In every one of our new I SPRING SUITS tt SPRING HATS 'K'K'Vi"- twr raw. n FOR STYLISH MEN I No the kind that everybody has.net the kind that "used to be" the leading make, but the kind that "IS" the foremost kind In the world today.

The re ports yesterday stated that before a large audience in debating the ques tion, "Resolved, That the school funds should be apportioned on the basis of the number of teachers employed, rather than on the school census," the Newberg High School, which supported the affirmative, won out against the Astoria High School team, the decision of the judges be ing unanimous in favor of the New berg team. The Newberg debaters were Vernon Motschcnbacher, Dale Trew and Kathryn Bryan, while the visiting Astorians was composed of Mary Kelly, Alex Sigurdson and . Lawrence Dinneen. The judges were Rev. F. C. Stannard.. Dr. R. W. Har- i rold a.nd President Irving Kelsey. , Both teams showed that they had given the subject much careful study, and the respective speakers were heartily cheered, but for oratory, Lawrence Dinneen, the 16-year-old lad of the Astoria team, easily led as the Patrick Henry of the occasion, j The Man Who Eats.
