The county court waa In session yes
terday and on petition of F. M. War
ren. vacated a certain part of Warren
ton Center, as at present platted. Coun
ty Assessor Carnahan's bond for 15000
was duly approved. It was decided to
defer the opening of the Bear Creek
j bridge bids on account of the recent
freshet, which may make some changes
necessary In the plans. John Glasser's
petition to locate a county road waa
granted, and N. Bozler, John Adair and
A. B. McMillan were appointed viewers.
"One of the questions which was agi
tated yesterday during the election wa.
what the newly constructed city coun
cil would do In regard to establishing
a central market in Astoria," said a
well known business man last night
That something must be done with this
matter Is conceded amongst all classes
of business men, and yesterday there
was no little talk on the subject. Now,
in the judgment of the majority, Is the
time to take definite action in order
that the largest benefits may accrue
during the coming spring and fall.
Report was received lost evening that
about 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, a
Russian named John Halen, who It Is
understood was a runaway sailor, and
was then working for a milkman on
the Lewis and Clarke, was drowned In
that river. It seems that he started
from the ranch In a boat and that the
boat was afterwards found floating In
the stream, empty, and the milk cans
scattered on the tide lands. So far no
trace of the man has been found. One
theory Is that he was caught In the
driftwood tinder the bridge, and was
knocked overboard.
