SEVERAL IMPORTANT CASES MAY HAVE TO BE RETRIED AT LITIGANTS' EXPENSE Sheriff's Sale Yenterday Sheriff Pomeroy told a boat and net belonging to Andrew Johnson on which the Columbia Packer' Association held a chattel mortgage for the turn of $210 and $20 attorney fee. The boat and net were bid in by the cannery for the amount of the sum of $50. Also at the tame time the sheriff told a boat and net j belonging to Sigrud Brix upon which ins bjjmc cuiupuny new a mortgage for $386.28 and $38 attorney fee. The property was bid in by the cannery for the turn of $100. Bluebacka Plentiful It hat been contended by knowing one that the Blucback salmon had been extinguished, notwithstanding many had been turned out by the various hatcheries. The run thi sea son prove this not to be true a there is an exceptionally large run in the river at the present time. Re port from the traps at Chinook are to the effect that the trap are doing better this season than for several past season. Tuesday two traps av eraged over half a ton each and near ly every trap reported from 500 to (M)0 pounds, 40 per cent of which were bluebacka. A. & C. Rate and Change From and after bili noon yester day the Rainier special out of Portland leaving heretofore at 11:20 p. m., will leave that city at 9:20 p. m. In the matter of round-trip tickets 10 and from the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, the company has established the fol lowing rates, to be effective on and after June 12th, and continuing until October 15th, via Coble and Kalama, to Seattle and return, from Astoria, $9.30; from Seaside, $10.30: Cearhart, $10.25; Warrenton, $9.65; Fort Ste vens, $9-90; Svensen. $9.30; Knappa. $9.10; Blind Slough. $9; Clifton, $8.65; ith stop-over privileges for illness only, etc. Northshore Item The 'survey for the Ilwaco-Oyster- ville electric line it going forward rapidly and will be completed and he notes amplified within the next two weeks; after which it is the pur pose of the company to push the work of construction without any de ny whatever over the 17-milc stretch. A new dock is to be built at Nah- cotta. toward which Pacific county has contributed the sum of $3000, the balance being supplied by Mr. Moore hcad and his associates. Dr. Powell, the well known physician, will leave that city for his Colorado home, where he will take over and manage the home farm for his mother, whose extreme age was the chief considera tion urging him to the step. The civil docket in the circuit court seem to be in a chaotic condition, owing principally to the resignation of Judge McBride. After completing the February term of court several cases had been argued and submitted and taken under advisement. Among the most important caset were the Tallant-Grant Packing Co., against the City of Astoria which has been before the court nearly three years. Additional evidence was taken and the case taken under advisement. The case will now have to be tried over. Three or more years ago. Leander Leabeck improved Bond street the contract price being about $7000, The city was enjoined from collecting the assessments and in the meantime Mr. Leabeck has been out his money. His only recourse now is to sue the city, a the work wa done a contract and if the property owners avoid payment, he claims he ought not to lose. Another important case is John Hahn against the Astoria National Bank to recover $3000. This case ha also been before the court for a long time and at the February term was argued partially and was to have been completed at St. Helens. A voluminous mass of testimony wa taken in the case at a cost of several hundred dollars. As no decision was rendered the case will have to be retried at a large expense to the liti gants. Another case is the Callcnder Navi gation Co., against Thomas Linville as sheriff, a suit to enjoin the sheriff from collecting the taxes on the steamers owned by the Callender Company, the total amount aggregat ing 5u:uuu ana wnicn sum is now charged against Sheriff Pomeroy on the assessment roll and was the al leged deficiency found by the experts when the books were cxperted. Sev eral other demurrers and motions were argued and submitted and taken under advisement but no decision rendered. It is these facts which has placed the docket in an unsettled con dition making more work for the at torneys and more cost to the liti gants. It is probable after Governor Benson appoints the new judge for" this, district a special term of court will be convened and an attempt made to clear up the tangled mess- Judge Campbell will be the presiding judge of the district and the new ap pointee will be assigned either to certain counties or to the law or equity cases, . probably as may be agreed upon between the two judges. TONIGHT AT THE GRAND Larceny Case Tried The case of the State of Oregon against Jacob Wilbcrt charged with larceny of a watch from Henry Kan gos was tried in the justice court yes terday. The evidence was very con flicting, both parties being so drunk s to be unable to state just what did happen. Kangos lost his watch and $6,50 in roney but don't know who took them. Officer Houghton found the watch in the possession of Wil- bert and arrested him. Wilbert claims he bought the watch from another man for $5. Kangos claims he was not drunk but admitted blowing in about $36 treating his friends and woke up Sunday morning sleeping on the floor in a rooming house. He claims Wilbert put him to bed, and Wilbert denies of ever having seen Kangos. Judge Goodman tried to unravel the mystery but the evidenc? was too conflicting and he took the case under aavisement until mis morning. . . The Human Appetite. Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre- able, 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 er who defy it; and all men are more or less Inclined to treat it with com 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 nd peaceful subjection, is always esirable information. One place that is conceded as perfectly adapted to this, it the Palace Restaurant, just opposite the Page building, on Com mercial street, in this city. Try 't once, and patronize it always; that is the role of the Palace. Chance To Clean Your Carpets Yourself ' Rent our electric carpet cleaner, $2.50 per day. Anbody can hnndle it. Apply to W. A.

New County Road- Pursuant to an order made at the last term of the county court ap pointing viewers, the county survey or, viewers and County Judge Tren chard went over the proposed 'route yesterday. The viewers are expected to complete the survey this week. The proposed road sfarts in at First street in Case's Astoria near the ap proach to the Young's Bay bridge and then follows the shore line of Young's Bay to a connection with the county road at Williamsport which connects with the Olney road. When completed it will make a belt line road from Astoria around Smith's point to Williamsport. The grade will be light and be of great advantage to farmers hauling pro duce to Astoria as it saves climbing the steep hills via the reservoir. As soon as the report of the viewers is filed and the probable cost prepared by the county surveyor, bids will be called for to build the road- It is the intention of the county court to cgmplete the road early this summer.

Quiet, But Promising The member of the directorate of the Oregon & Seacoast Railway Co., the holding company, in conjunction with the interests of the Astoria, Sea side & Tillamook Electric Railway ! Company, had a meeting yesterday morning at the parlors of the Scandi navian-American Savings Bank, in this city; and while the gentlemen at interest had nothing to give out at this particular moment, it is known that there is frequent and constant correspondence with Mr. Evans and others in the East with regard to pending negotiations and that mat ters are moving cleverly and, so far, satisfactorily, in the business, though no positive determinations have yet . w.a a - Deen recorded, it is hoped, at an early day, to make some definite an nouncements, but projects of this sort, at long distance communication, are necessarily slow. Happily Wedded Yesterday At the house of Mr. Harriett An- stedt on Irving avenue, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, occurred one of the prettiest home weddings of the season, when her daughter, Miss Nellie A., became the bride of Mr. Irwin F. Morrison, one of the most popular young business men of this city. Only the immediate friends were present but the home was tastefully decorated and a large number of costly and beautiful pres ents were received. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. Wm. Seymour Short, rector of Grace church. Dainty refreshments were served and the young couple left on the evening train for a honeymoon. A striking incident was the presence of Mr. John Minto, the uncle of the groom. Mr. Minto was the first! bridegroom on record in Clatsop J county, so the oldest and newest met together.
