Does Not Affect Oregon A very prominent timberman of this city, yesterday told a reporter of the Morning Astorian .that the $2 cut on logs, lately made by Alexander Poison, of the Gray's Harbor coun try, would have no effect whatever on the Oregon product, and would not materially affect the market here; he aid that the Polsen interests repre sented but a small percentage of the daily output of Washington and Ore gon of lS.000.0n0 feet, and that while yellow fir flooring logs might be quot ed over there at $10 per thousand, with merchant grades at and the lower grades at $6. the Oregon prices would remain at $12 for yellow fir. with red fir at $10, and the lower grades at $7.50. do you know that you can buy a good "tailor made" suit for $35.00 Why insist upon wearing a "hand me down" when you have to pay as much for in ferior goods as you do ior the best.

F. of this city be came the guests of their brethren of Lawis h Clark lodge of Hammond at the invitation of the latter group, which desired to happily accentuate the 19th anniversary of its institu tion. J. M. Anderson of this city was the orator of the occasion and filled the post to the immense satisfaction of all at interest. It was one of those bright and interesting affairs that go to make the great records of these fraternities everywhere. A delightful program was unfolded and the re freshments were bountiful and dain tily served by the members charged with that important function. Monday Night At The Bakeronian "Johnson-Burna" Fight!

This trouble arose over a girl, it is said. . At the conclusion of the evi dence offered by the prosecution, the defense offered in evidence an affi davit made by Hiltunen in which he declared that Ire did not wish to pronecute, that he was the aggressor in the affray, that he was drunk at the time and had assaulted Sivo with out provocation, and that Sivo had thereupon shot in self-defense. , Justice Goodman thereupon dis missed the case, inasmuch as the complaining witness was unwilling to prosecute. Hiltunen, while on the stand, had told a story somewhat different from the one recited In his affidavit, and the prosecution was not disposed' in the least to believe his statements In the affidavit, but- being more or less disgusted with Hiltunen for making nrh an affidavit and placing it in the hands of the defense, the matter was left go without endeavoring to push it. It looks a little as :J Hiltunen was illing to go to considerable lengths to quiet the matter and have an end to it. It whs a bufc day in Justice court. Another case of an eVciting nature was that of the stale against Nicholas and Joseph Vitalich of Clifton, who were charged with mayhem, in that they had chewed a fniKcr half off of Andrew Marinrovich. the complain ing witnesses. The charge of may hem, a state penitentiary offense, was changed to that of simple assault and battery and the case against Joseph Vitalich was dismissed., Nicholas was found guilty of asau!t and battery and fined $10. The f nht arose over the complaining witness's wife, who. it was alleged, had been insulted by one of the Vitalich brothers. The scrap was a pretty bad one, and the trial yesterday was almost as bad. Then there was another case- Fred Chapin, of one of the logging camps out near Svensen, complained that an other logger. C. H. Forrester, a big fellow, had slugged him in the eye. It seems that Chapin was at Svensen. and while reading a letter, Forrester came up and wanted to know if he fChapinl "had been talking" about him. Chapin denied that he had. But Forrester hit out. and his fist met Chapin's eye. Chapin went down and almost out. The trouble seems to have arisen over some matter at the camp, and Forrester said Chapin ac cused him of getting the former's job. Forrester .was arrested and came in Yesterday and Offered to plead guilty to assault and battery. But because the plaintiff, or Mr. Browne!!, the the assistant prosecu tor, was not present the matter was put off until Monday. Meantime For rester is out on $25 bond. The case against Anton Kuljis of Clifton, on the charge of running a blind pig. was not called. He will be arraigned tomorrow, probably. Kuljis is one of the Clifton men who were fined at the February term of the court and it is liksly to go hard with him for this offense, if proven against him. He had applied for a license from the county court but it had not yet been granted. It is said that Kuljis has enemies up there who ars trying to run him out of the country, and from this same source it is hint ed that there may be others up there who sell liquors in an illicit manner and are not disturbed. Adair Drain Matter The discussion of the Question of tho Adair drain at the meeting In the McGregor mess house last night re sulted in one very excellent sugges tion. The men present agreed that it would be satisfactory plan for the city council to secure the services of a civil engineer to make a study of the conditions and to sumbit some definite plan for a drainage system. r?if. nr titv attended the meeting. among them Mayor Smith, Council- men Fox, Wilson, Leinenwcber, uir ft.. Siinerintendent Kearney, and many of the well known residents of that portion of the city, councilman Curtis presided. The discussion that followed showed the great divesitv of opinion that prevails among tne vAci.1f.ute whose n'roocrtv is affected. Hardly any two agreed in important particulars. Several of those wnose n.r..rt U on 3Rth street voiced what seems to be the prevailing sentiment thcre-and that Is that they wouio imnosition, a course total ly uncalled for, if any attempt is to be made to divert tne waters over onto that thoroughfare. While much could be written on the suggestions made, and the theories advanced, nev ertheless it probably may be best to await for some definite report from a civil engineer. It is very UKciy im council at its next meeting will se cure the services of an engineer to -.v. th. matter tin. What is desired, is some man to offer a clear cut plan and to show just when, xwhy am where it should be carried out.

HERMAN WI E fterothier 1 ASTORIA ELECTRIC IS OWNING COMPANY IN NEW YORK ACQUIRES LOCAL HOLDINGS. . The filing for record at the court house yesterday for a deed, bearing date April 27, 1901, wherein Charles II. Page. Martin Foard, F. R. Stokes, deed to the Astoria Electric Com pany, for the consideration of $1, the street railway franchise .granted to them by this city on February 6th. of that year, has a significance quite at variance with the current rumors about town, most of which indica:e a general transfer of the corporate property in question, to Mr. Henry, of the United Railways, or to thi General Electric Company, and to various other concerns and companies in that particular business. The fact of the matter is, the status and ownership of this system is not changed at all, as to proprietory in terest; it is still in the hands of the Electric Bond & Share Company, of New York City, only a little more so than it has ever been. The company desired ot secure complete control of the properties with a view to making extensive improvements at an early day. and to this end it has purchased the 1700 shares of the full 3000 com prising its stock, from the gentlemen above named and from Messrs. S- S. Gordon and George O. Moon, and is now in complete control of the des tinies of the plant and property. Monday Night At The Bakeronian "Johnson-Burns" Fightl Sympathy For Peterson There seems to be considerable sympathy for Peterson, the man who was hit on the head with an ax, made recovery, and now is incarcerated in the county jail, being held as a witness against his assailant, "Rnh" Davis. The sympathy is not personal, but is impersonal. To many it seems an outrageous laea tnar a man who was struck bv an ax, and suffered that punishment, should now be locked up to hold him as a wit ness. He is innocent. He has done no wrong. He is only recovering from wounds that would have killed yu om nf pitv inn men. orobablv. Further more, he can give little or no direct evidence at the trial. Except as he has hf.cn told he does not know what happened to him whether the house fell on him or a steamboat ran over him. That is one side of the matter. The other side is that prosecutors find it a pretty hard matter to secure con victions unless the injured stands in the court room, and evinces a desire to aid in the prosecution. The case in instice court yesterday, when the complaining witness presented an af fidavit averring that he dian t want to prosecute, is an excellent case in point. So many witnesses have dis appeared in Clatsop county, also, that the criminal law stands in danger of becoming a mockery. However, it may be said, even if Peterson be lib erated, he may be only too willing to remain to prosecute. Nevertheless it is evident the prosecution is atram something would . happen, un tne whole it Is admitted, as an abstract idea, that an innocent man should be shoved in jail merely to hold him as a witness is wholly outrageous, save when great and imperative rea son exists to so hold him. Last night Mr. Brownell, the assistant prosecut ing attorney, said he will suggest to the sheriff that Peterson be given his liberty, daily under surveillance; un der the care of Constable Sayer, for example."
