great crowd collected on the street
when the rnan wa being placed tin
der arrest.
I Little Scarlatina
While there is considerable scarlet
fever in Portland, and a sort of a
scare there about it, the disease
seem to get no foothold in this city.
Dr. Reame. the city health officer,
said yesterday that there are only the
iwo cases in town now the little
Ziegler boys and that they are get
ting ahing nicely. Apparently there is
in need to feel the slightest apprehen
sion here over the disease, though
parents are advised to be very care
ful about letting their little ones run
around too promlscously,
The Spur Completed
Superintendent John McGuire. of
the A. Sc C. Railroad Company, was
in the city on Sunday, en route to
his Portland office, from the coast
line of the company. It wa ascer
tained that the new spur running
from the main line at Gearhart to
ihe logging camp of Moore Brothers
is fully completed and open to imme
diate service, and it is expected that
there will be no 'delay on the part of
the Moore Brothers in making big
and-paying use 'of the improvement,
which is to be amplified by a log way
on the Skipanon from which, their
output will be placed in tidewater.

Given Hours To Leave
A young and well dressed man who
gave name a Edward Hell wai in
police court yesterday on a charge of
being an idle and dissolute person
Bell it rather a nice looking young
fellow, with nothing flashy about
him, lit came here from Seattle, he
aid, and for a time worked a night
clerk in a hotel, i'oiice ollioer made
up their mind that Bell wai trying
to lead the life of a parasite and rop
ed him in. There really wai no cae
against him in court yesterday at all,
but had he not felt guilty, or had he
actually been what he tried to make
out he unquestionably would have
put an indignant "roar" that would
have been heard all over town. In
stead of that he meekly accepted the
suggestion that he leave town in 24
hours.
Y. M. C. A. Workers
The "Young Men' Day" on Sun
day In the Astoria churches proved a
decided success, and not only were
the meeting very well attended, but
the congregation were interested
and impressed hy the discussions on
the question of the Young Men's"
Christian Association. As a result of
the meeting Sunday, and the gener
al feeling on the subject among many
men and women in the city, i
thought to be very likely that step
will be taken to start a branch of
the association here. One of the
miniiters said lat night that inside
of two years there will be a Y. M. C.
A. in Astoria. So wonderful has
been the progress and growth of- thi
Institution all over the world in the
past 10 or 15 year that it seem even
extraordinary that' there is not a
branch ,of it in this city. In many
cities of this size there are Y. M. C.
with buildings that cost from a
liiarter of a million to a half million
liars, and probably there are few
other towns as big as Astoria in the
United States, if any, which have no
Y. M. C. A.'. As a rule the institu
tion is supported earnestly by men
of all creeds and men of no creed.
wenty ears ago the young man
who belonged to a Y. M. C A. was
looked upon a being a mollycoddle
sort of a fellow; today the brains
and the brawn among the young
men of the country may be found in
its membership- It aim i to de
velop young men spiritually, physi
cally and mentally.
Patients Leave Hospital-
Hans Hoim, the logger whose jaw
was broken by a flying chain at the
Pacific lagging , Company camp
several weeks ago, left St. Mary's
hospital yesterday. He lost quite a
number of his teeth also, the injury
being a serious one. Nick Starvich.
a logger who was injured at Olson's
camp on Deep River recently, by
having a piece of steel forced into
his knee, also left yesterday. A.
Sund, of Deepi River, wa another
hat left yesterday. He had several
of hi toe frot bitten once and it
was necessary to have them treated
again. One ot tne laminar ngures
bout St. Mary for the past four or
five months has been little Johnny
Nicmi. of Independence, a 14-year-
old lad who suffered with an afflic-
ion of the hip. When he enterej
the hospital he was thin and sickly
and hardly able to walk. Now he is
growing fast, is chubby and happy
and can walk as well as any other
boy, Johnny ts of a happy disposi
tion and has been a favorite among
the sisters and nurses.

OF HIS LOTTLYS
NO GBAFT, SAYS ONE THERE
IS, SAYS ANOTHER
CELESTIAL
"Chinese pay no money for pro
tectionthere ia no graft in the lot
tery business--and beside there i
no money in the lotteries for the
seven companies which conduct
them."
Such, in brief, wa the statement of
Hop Yik, one of the leading Celestial
of the city, yesterday. Mr. Yik drop
ped into the Astorian office yester
day on ome trivial errand, and inci
dentally while there he wa willing
to talk about the Chinese lotteries.
Of course, they are running, he ad
mittedeveryone know that, but Yik
protested high, low, jack and the
game that no Chinese was being bilk
ed by any set of white men into pay
ing for protection of the game.
Once they used to do o, when
they paid $25 monthly into the city
treasury a fines, but since that time
the Chinese have been left entirclyJ
alone, to run their lotteries as 'they
see fit. Thus averred this man, who,
is at the head of the leading tong,
and consequently the head of the
leading lottery. He also averred that
there is no money in the business
now; that the games are so small and
so poorly patronized that really it
hardly pays to keep them going.
Only a few dollars come in; little bit
of a game. Ten cents a chance it
would take a hundred chances a day
to make up $10. 'Not worth while
bothering about. .
"The police no, they never stop.
Policeman come in, give him cigar.
He ay, how business? We say busi
ness poor.
"Not much business? he say. !
"No; business poor; take cigar,"
we' say.
He take urn, look at wrapper.
"All right," he says, "smoke him
after supper."
But why the policemen didn t stop
the games the Chinese leader didn't
explain very welt.
Not worth while; games so little,
business so poor, too much bother.
Policeman don't stop games because
not worth while bothering about."
Now, when a Celestial starts out to
tell the truth, or to idly toy with the
truth, as it were, there is no need of
trying to get him to back or gee dr
haw. Tast master of the art is he.
at telling the truth or in idly toying
with' the sacred proprieties of truth.
Mr. Yik was absolutely convincing
He told the truth, all the truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help him
joss .and consequently mere is no
graft being paid by the seven tongs
for protection.
But by one of those peculiar tricks
of fate which . happen in story
books as well as in actual life an
other Chinese happened to be talk
ing with another representative of
the Astorian at the very same time.
This was in another part of the city.
By a most peculiar chance he hap
pened to be talking about the same
subject. And he this other Chinese
told a story which did not agree
with the story told by Mr. Yik. He
said there is graft but what he ac
tually said is too good to tell now.
He also said that the Chinese mer
chants make big money: "five, six.
seven thousand a year out of lottly."
Of course it is really too bad to
have one prominent Celestial tell one
story, and to have another equally
prominent Celestial tell another story
at the same time. It is apparent that
both stories can't be true. The As
torian does not wish to interfere with
John Chinaman and his lottlys; as
long as there is gambling going on
in the city the Chinaman has as much
right to run his games as do the
white men., The position of the As
torian is well known stop gambling,
or let everyone gamble that wishes
to. The present question is different.
Grafting from poor Chinamen is a
pretty low business and the Astorian
proposes to stop it it it can, ann it
thinks it can if there is grafting,
and it thinks there is
Meantime the police officers needn t
. - r -.
worry; no one suspects mem 01 get
ting anything as long as they get
good cigars no one will blame them
for accepting them.
Mr. Yik also said games stopped
ft 1 xl.
now. As a matter ot iaci me games
ran as usual yesterday and last night.
Fan tan stop. Lottly not stop. .
The Human Appetite
Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre
liable, treacherous, exacting things 'n
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing" to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious.
There are those who humor It; oth
ers who defy It; and all men are more
or less Inclined to treai it with con
sideration. To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos
tered, at the least cost in each case
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subjection, Is always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted tJ
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try '
once, and patronize it always; that h

A SIGNIFICANT ARREST
MADE LAST fiiGHT
TWO YOUNG PEOPLE RUN IN
BY PATROLMAN LINVILLE
UPON GRAVE CHARGE.
There was an arrest made in this
city last night, by -Patrolman Thomas
Linville, that has a peculiar signifi
cance for the parents and guardians
of young boys and girls, since it is
the forerunner of a series of arrests
that are to be made by the officers
generally, Chief Oberg having decid
ed to put an end to the reckless and
ruinous intercourse of young people
in this city, who are allowed far too
much license in their coming and go
ing after nightfall.
For some time Officer Linville has
had his official eye upon a young man
by the name of Henry Baack, who is
at present doing duty as a boot
black, who has been once under police
supervision and compelled to leave
the city as a medium for escaping a
heavy penalty for man-handling a
Chinaman with a piece of gaspipe, and
who has lately been working up a
dangerous intimacy with a young girl
by the name of Rosie Neuquist whom
he had enticed to his room in the Bay
City House on Tenth street, and
where they were found last night by
that officer, under circumstances
that warranted their instant arrest
At the police station the girl con
fessed to her undoing by Baack and
admitted enough to render her a sub
ject for far better care than she seems
to have had at home; though those
with whom she is livbs (a sister and
brother-in-law), have trusted her im
plicitly and allowed her a leeway that
has apparently been grossly abused.
They are a very respectable young
couple and have sought to do their
whole duty by the orphan sister un
der their charge and have failed only
in permitting her an undue freedom
of movement after dark; a condition
that is far too prevalent in this city
and which has grown to such a pass
that police intervention has become
imperative, and it is to be pursued

until there is a radical change in, the
habits of certain young folks here
about.
The young man in question is but
19 years of age, and the girl 16, and
their story is but a replica of the
tale that is woefully frequent in this
day and age. Steps will be taken to
day to put an end to the trouble that
attaches in this case, and in such
fashion as shall be a warning to other
misguided youngsters in and about
Astoria.
Both are in durance at the city
hall, both are deeply conscious of
the fact that a limit is to be set
against their further contact and that
a test is to be made of their case, for
their own redemption, as well as for
the benefit of many others; and the
issue in police court this afternoon
will be awaited with interest by all
interested in the safety 'of Astoria's
young people, and not the least con
cerned in the matter is Chief Oberg
and his officers.
Astoria To Spokane
In six days more, the traveling
Astorian may leave this city and go
through to Spokane with but one
transfer, at Portland, over the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle Railway.

pany's throuch-line circular, which

Chamber of Commerce
At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night the manager,
Mr. Whyte, in discussing the ques
tion of the common point suit filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, said that, while the Farmers'
Union of the Inland Empire are anx
ious and willing to carry on the mat
ter, that nevertheless Astoria is ex
pected to finance the matter. What
the cost will be cannot now be fore
told, but it is not likely to be a very-
great sum. Very little of interest
arose for discussion last night, ex-
ccpt that one of the members said he
knew of his own knowledge that 3.

mence business here at once if a , '
bonus of $2000 is. raised. The mat-
ter will be looked into at once, prob -
ably. It was said the mill would em-
ploy from 50 to 60 men to start I
with. It was also announced that the '
brick plant is now in excellent shape
and is going ahead finely. Thus far!
