There is no doubt the affair will be a gala one and the attendance a record breaker for 1909. A Warm Surprise When the good ocoole of Warren ton rallied at their church building 011 Sunday morning last, they found it heated to a point of genuine com fort by a new and handsome stove of generous proportion and handsome style, the turreptitioui gift of the La diet' Aid Society. They had tecured the money by their recent theatrical indulgence down there, and bought the stove, using prodigious efforts to trans-ship it from this city end smuirirlc it into the church without knowing it. They succeeded admir ably and realized all the pleasure that belonged to them for their clever work. Without Comment The latest number of the Oregon Mist it just at hand, and the follow excerpt it made therefrom, without comment: "The fifth judicial district ia to have two judges hereafter, and it is said the new appointee will come from Columbia or Clatsop county. As Columbia county pays by far the greater portion of the State taxes it it manifestly just that the new judge be appointed from this county; but if the appointing power insists on giv ing us a Clatsop judge, whats the mat ter with John Smith? He is a Dem ocrat, but that should cut no ice in the appointment of a judge. He is able and honest, and would consider nothing bu justice and the law in rendering his decision." Will Bring Remains Home In obedience to a telegram received yesterday morning from Seattle, an nouncing the finding of the body of his brother, Sigfrid Owen, Otto Owen left on last night's express for the Sound City, to bring the remains home. Sigfrid Owen was in Seattle last January, and on the 30th of that month disappeared utterly and no trace was ever found of him, until yesterday when his body was recov ered from the Sound. How he came by his death is still a mystery, as he was a man of exceedingly careful habits; Mr. Owen will be back to Astoria tomorrow evening, and no tice of the funeral will be given later. The deceased was a native of this city and was well liked here by all who knew him. He was about 25 years of age. He leaves a widow and a baby daughter.

ALEX TAGG 483 Commercial St., Astoria, Or. Lost 1380, He Saya Henry Kallis drifted into town a few days ago with the sum of $380 burning a hole in his pockets. Now he hasn't a cent and owes the city $5. the sum which he was fined yester day by Judge Anderson because he bad been drunk. A woman by the name of Annie Davis was also arrest ed in connection with the matter and the police say there it some slight suspicion that she knows what be came of the money, She was lined $40 with the alternative of 20 days in the city jail yesterday on a charge of vagrancy. The police are making a search for the money, and there is a bare possibility that Kallis may have left it with some barkeeper for safe keeping. The Man Who Eat. The man who eats does ao with the expectation of being satisfied. To thia 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, big and little. Open day and night.

Franseen 'Maker of Oood Clothes for Men" 179 Eleventh St. Phone Main 3711 Owl Saloon At the session of the common council Monday night petition was entered for a license for the "Owl" saloon, the petition being asked by a man by the name of Rosenberg, who is said to be a stranger in the city. Nothing is known of Rosenberg, ex cept that he is said to be "recom mended by the brewery." The "Owl" is one of the saloons which was re cently closed because the license of the ostensible proprietor was taken from him. Liquor had been sold to a minor in the place. Now it is asked that the same place be opened up again, tinder new management. This saloon is in the midst of a lot of cribs. It is said that the brewer-1 ies own about two-thirds of the sa loons in the city and probably they won't care what men lose their li censes if new licenses arc immediate ly granted. i The February Record The Morning Astorian is indebted to Weather Observer J. J. Kelliher, at North Head, for the following de tail on the weather record, for the month of February, just closed: The temperature range from 33 to SI, with an average for the month of 43, which was not near so bad. as January; the wiiid blew 15,099 miles during the month, at an average of 22.5 miles an hour; and reached 76 miles an hour from the sou-east, on the 14th instant (this means 86 miles, allow ing for the discrepancy known to ex ist in the instruments nt North Head). There was just one clear day; which is rather rare for Feb ruary since it usually presents a string of beautiful days; two partly cloudy days, and 25 cloudy days. There was also one inch of snow, and 9.19 inches of hail incorporated in the estimated precipitation. The Man From Seaside Editor R. M. Watson, editor of the Seaside Signal, spent the day in As toria, and as usual, had a cheerful word for the lively little city that snuggles under the northerly shoul der of Tillamook Head. He said yesterday that to hi personal knowl edge, there' were II store and home buildings now in course Of erection there, and tome of them quite preten tious, and the bunch include a new moving picture theatre being built by Alex. Gilbert that is to be a marvel of comfort and elegance and to equal anything in Astoria. There are nu merous other new establishments , to come, Mr. Watson says, and if there are any doubters, he extends a cor dial invitation to them to come down and take the testimony of their own sense in the pleasant premise. Mr. Watson is a Seaside man before all other things he is called upon to stand for. Four Times a Week The Grand theatre announce an im portant change in that popular show place. Hereafter they will have four entire changes of program each week. A Cooking Sale. The ladies of the First M.

Laurin, Owl Drug Store. School Board Meett At the meeting of the school board last night the question of building a new High School building was con sidered, and it seems to be the sense of the members that something will necessarily be done very oon. It is possible a new structure will be com menced this summer. It is calculated that the new building will eost per haps $60,000, and it is said to be like ly that it will be located in Shivels, somewhere. It would not be advis able to erect a new High School structure on the present site, because of the character of the ground there. The matter was referred to the build ing committee, . Messrs. Welch and Griffin. The teachers' committee last night reported on two change that had been made, a follow: Miss Huk kari taking the place left vacant by the resignation of Miss Goddard, and Miss Mary Clark going into room 5, Taylor's. A new man teacher has been selected as an addition to the High School force, but he has not yet been definitely heard from in accept ance of the position. Nyberg Ia Releaaed William Nyberg, the first of the "blind pig" men to be arrested, and who was later found guilty by a jury and fined $200 and sentenced for ten day in the county jail, was yesterday arraigned on eight other indictments that had been brought against him by the grand jury. He pleaded guilty on each one of these and was given the maximum line of $500, but sentence was suspended on good behavior. The district attorney then suggested to Judge McBride that inasmuch as N'yberg has already served five days in jail, and is not physically strong, he might be released and Judge Mc Bride did release him on parole. John Hanson, the justice of the peace out in the John Day district, beyond Tongue Point, appeared in court yes terday and pleaded guilty to the six indictments against him. He was fined $500 on the first, which he paid in cash, and the same amount on all the other indictments, making a total of $3000 against him. Nyberg leads all with a total of $4200. Judge Mc Bride told Hanson that he was not very willing to listen to a plea of clemency in his case, inasmuch as he was a justice of the peace, a man specially sworn to uphold law. Ny berg and Hanson only had to pay on their first indictment, the rest being suspended during good behavior. Bertleson Case The case of Charles Bertleson, the saloonkeeper who is charged with having drawn a revolver on Police Oflicer Houghton last summer, while the latter was attempting to place him under arrest, arose for consideration in circuit court yesterday. Officer Houghton went on the stand and re cited the facts that led up to the ar rest; he saw two women enter the rear door of the saloon and later saw them in one of the wine rooms. Thereupon he went in and told Ber tleson he was under arrest. He aiso testified that Bertleson had twice lev elled his gun at him. Bertleson went on the stand and modified the officer's story in part. He said he knew noth ing of the presence of the women and that when the officer came back of his bar and told him he was under ar rest, he disked why, and also asked for a little time in which to find someone to take care of the bar. He admitted getting his revolver out, but said he did so under what he consid ered provocation, and that he drew it out only to "protect" himself against the officer. He also stated that he asked if the police officer had a war rant. The two stories were not very far apart in regard to the essential de tails. Both sides then submitted the matter to Judge McBride for settle ment on the legal question, as to whether Officer Houghton had a right to make the arrest without war rant, and if he did, or did not, wtieth1 er the defendant was justified in drawing his weapon to resist arrest, or defend himself. Upon the purely legal side of the matter the decision will be given, If One Piano Number With Each $5 Sale to Wise's Customer jj ; . , , i UI1 During my recent trip I bought at a great reduction between 300 and 400 men's suits which were made to retail at $13.50, $15.00, $17.50 and $18.50.

' ' ' ttittitttttTiftftitttti Police Commission The board of police commissioners did not hold their regular monthly meeting last night in the city hall. Commissioner Gordon was the only member that showed up. Commis sioner Martin Foard was in the city for several days preceding, but he left town on the previous night, his busi ness affairs calling him away. The question of appointing a chief of po lice is still unsettled, and as far as is known, there seems little likelihood of the three commissioners agreeing upon a candidate- Some have mildly expressed the opinion that Commis sioner Foard should take the initia tive in the question of the appoint ment of a chief, but the matter pre sents a pretty political problem that Mr. Foard is apparently keen enough to enjoy and handle with much zest. While there are half a dozen candi dates for the office, it is said no two commissioners can agree upon any one man. Two of the commission ers are Democrats and Mr. Foard is a Republican and he is apparently chuckling in his sleeve while they fight the matter out between them selves. Meantime Fred Oberg con- running smoothly in their old-time rut. Carl Knobloch, George Kaboth and John W. Kelley, who is now out of the city, are among the men who have applied for the place.
