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.

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.
