POOD STORE Telephone School William Logus,'' of the Pacific Slates Telephone Company in Port land, haa been in tin city for the past teveral days holding a tort of tchool for the education of the 'phone girls in tne art Of Handling the new tyt tern, wnicn It to be put in toon. Be cause the new tyttein It entirely Utf ferent from the old one the srirli naturally will have to be trained how to use it. All of the reoretentative of the company who come here agree In stating that the new service will be of the very best, and will not be excelled by any tystem in the north west. Town Ii Booming Mr. Moore, of Seaside, was in the city yettcrday and reportt the popu lar lummer resort enjoying a boom, A meeting wai recently held by the acasino Development League which wa largely attended and-nearly $1000 was subscribed for promotion work, Alex Gilbert it muldinir a Inree theatre building and also erecting a three story building to be Heed for stores and oflirc rooms. Great nrep arationa are being made for the sum mer season in anticipation of one of tlic largest crowds that ha ever visit ed Seaside. Several Portland people have been in the town this week overhauling their cottaget. while number of new cottaget are going up in the grove. Will Build High Board Pence- It is stated, on good authority, that the A, & C. railway contemplate the erection of a high board fence on the south line of their right of way along the north line of the Hop Gold sa loon. The line runs within a foot of the building. The reason assigned is tnat aisoraeriy ana intoxicated men stand in the doors carousing in full view of passengers on the train. Complaint hat been made to the rail road company and it is to obviate the disgusting spectaclet frequently wit nessed there that the action is con templnted. From a legal standpoint, there it no doubt of the right of the company to erect the fence. Seaside To Advertise Portland Oregouian: Seaside it the latest town to be imbued with the idea of exploitation. On Monday nuniDcr oi prominent Business men got together and showed how really wide-awake they could be by raising a fund of $700 within four hours. Al though $1000 was originally named at the objective of the new Seaside De velopment Association, it is assured that this sum will be passed in fe Mays and $2000 it now named at the amount to be raised. The money will be expended in advising visitors to Seattle and the Portland Rose Festi val of Seaside'a merits at a resort At at accetsible ocean resort, from either Seattle or Portland, the Sea side men are staring in to boost their home town by showing that the fanning resources have not been nearly developed and that the dairy and timber of that locality have never Wen sufficiently exploited.

New Guardian Appointed Andrew Dalglty, who has been the guardian of the estate and the per son of Mary Cusworth, an Insane per-, son, wnt yesterday removed from the guardianship by order of the probate court, and in hi stead August Mo berg was appointed. Mr. Moberg will give V bond of $51)00. The rea sons stated in life prder of removal of Dalgity were that he had failed to give bond at required and that he had refused or failed to answer citation of the court calling upon him to make accounting of hit trusteeship. It is understood that Dalgity't account! have not been satisfactorily Height ened out, though the amount involved is said to be only a few hundred doJ lars. Will Demand Bond Nets Peterson, the man who wai hit on the head with an axe, is still recov ering rapidly and he is now able to walk freely about the city. It it the intention of the authorities to demand a slight bond from him, to assure hit presence at the trial of his assailant, and wj)i!e it it possible that the de mand for bond may work a hardship ag;unst Peterson, jno other course seems possible. His presence and his testimony are more or less neces sary, and if he took it into his head to go away that fact would embarrass the prosecution, Clatsoo countv haj already had one or more peculiar ex periences of needed withnesset dis- appearing before trial time. Probab ly a man whoj like Peterton, gett to drunk and actt to much like a beast that he didn't know when a man was breaking into the room, nor knew that a man stood over him with an axe, won t have hi feeling greatly hurt if he is either compelled to give bnd or else goes to jail to await the trial of his assailant. , Good Samaritan Hospital ' Rev. . S. Short, rector of Grace church returned yesterday from Port land where he had cone to attend a meeting of the directors of the Good Samaritan hospital. Mr. Short states that the institution is flourishing fine ly, and despic the fact that there hat been much necessary confusion dur ing the construction of the new build ing and the tearing down of a por tion of the old portion, that thines have nm with much smoothnets. The directors considered the question of certain anonymous complaints that had been made in relation to one mat ter or another, and decided that they could and would not pay, any atten tion to complaints unlest made in writing and signed by the one making them. Mr. Short said that the com plaints received, such as they were, nau oeen mostly made by persons away from the institution, and not by patients or others familiar with the place. All in all the work is progress ing very finely, and various changes will be carried out in the way of im proving the executive service. This hospsital is one of the best known n the northwest, and the whole insti Uition is being enlarged and made better. The new bttildine will contain memorial chapel to Bishop Morris and a child s ward. PERSONAL MENTION W. H. Bower of Portland was gtiest a the Occident yesterday.

ASTORIA DAY AT 1 SEATTLE EME CHAIRMAN OF 'COMMITTEE RECEIVES LETTER FROM EXPOSITION MANAGERS The chairman of the committee ap pointed by Mayor Smith to make ar rangements for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition to be held in Seattle received the following letter yesterday: ' "Seattle, April 14. 1909.

BUCKLEY, "Director of Ceremonies and Special Events." Curtains Down A trip over the side streets that lead to Astor street in the restricted district last night disclosed the fact some of the curtains were down and some were not down. All of the cur taint of the placet that are in plain view from Bond street were down, but generally speaking the curtains were up near Astor street - It is stated that the police commissioners ordered that all curtains on the side streets be kept down to within "eight inches" from the bottom- Taken as a whole the instructions of the police commissioners at their meeting, were of a general and sensible nature, and were to sensibly and reasonably en force the rule. At first it was desired that the places in plain view of Bond street be made to keep their curtains down, and then later it seemed to be the opinion of the commissioners that this same rule should apply to all the places on the side streets. To try to enforce a rule which required that all curtains be kept down to within eight inches of the bottom would be reducing the matter to an absurdity, which perhaps some desire. Last night it was observed that some of the curtains were not down at aTl. but in these places no one was in sight. Church Services Sunday First Methodist At 10:15 a. m-. class meeting.

TALE OF WHICH WEN m iiiL FOUND ITS WAY CLEAR OUT TO CORNELIUS' PLACE ON YOUNG'S RIVER. Attorney Frank Spittle, who is somewhat of an amateur gardener and horticulturist, conceived the idea of securing a couple of ducks to run about bis place, the purpose of the ducks being to kill off the slugs and other cut worms. Mr. Spittle pur chased two ducks a duck and drake from T. S- Cornelius, the county assessor, and as they didn't seem very much at home, he securely fenced them in a small enclosure. But the drake was homesick. He wanted to get out wanted to get back home. Several times he got out of the enclosure, and at last he disappeared altogether. Mr. Spittle got all the small boys in the neigh-j borhood to aid in the search for the drake, but he was gone and could not be found anywhere. It wasn't sup posed he could have gotten more than a block or so from the place, because his short waddling steps wouldn't carry him very last or far. Now comes the interesting part of the story." - The other morning Mrs. Cornelius called up the Spittle home to ask how the ducks were getting along. "All right, replied Mr. Spittle, "only one of 'em's gone." Mrs. Cornelius laughed, and then she said, "Well, he's out here again, o'clock, and at Holy Innocents' chap el at 3:45 o'clock.

Now the wonder is how the drake ever managed to net back to the Cornelius home, out on , Young's River. It is almost inconceivable that the drake could have walked that distance, even if he had known the way. Again, how could he know the way? It also seems equally odd that the slowly waddling duck could have walked along the country roads back to his home without being picked up by somebody, or perhaps killed by dogs. Of course another theory is that the handsome old drake saw the shimmer of the Columbia River from the hillside and managed to get down to the waterfront, and then swam all the way around Smith's Point until he got into Young's River, and then proceeded up the river until he found a i himself in familiar waters- This theory is plausible, but it means that the drake swam some six or seven miles, in strange waters, and at least a part of the distance in rough wat ers, too. At all events there has been con siderable amusement over this "hom ing duck, and when Mr. Spittle learned that Mr. Cornelius has had similar experiences with other ducks he had sold in the city, he be gan to think that perhaps he has all of his ducks trained to go home. Mr. Cornelius laughs, and . says that's true. for Kent Une modern six-room flat, 268 Tenth street Apply to G. L. Colwell, cor. Tenth and Exchange streets. , Dissolution Notice.
