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

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
