The proposed bowling contest which was to have been held In Astoria today be. tween twuns from the Multnrmrah, Oregon Road and Astoria Football Clubs. Is off for a we-k. at least E. E. Millory. of the Multnomah Club, who arranges for such tournaments, wired yesterday that the team could not come toduy. a all the crack bowlers were away from the 'tr. The meet will be arranged for next Saturday. If possblle. It Is the Intention of the visitors to bowl here Saturday and spend Sunday at the summer resorts, The mouth of the river will be free from mines after today. The Mendell has been at work removing them for the past ten da- and expert sto complete the work this evening. It had been a matter of speculation for some time whether or not mines were really laid at the mouth of the river, and waa even publicly denied by some papers up to a short time ago. It Is oonvtnclnc proof, even if Uncle Sam should see At to withhold such Informa tion, that the Mendell hat been removing them for some time, and will take up the oable to which Is attached the last of the mines today. Mr. Frederick V. Covllle. the United States botanist, made an excellent sugges tion while In Astoria. He warmly com mended the action of the Progressive As sociation In holding the farmers' congress and expressed himself as being heartily In accord with the Idea of bringing prom inent agriculturalists here, "jf you de- olde to hold another such congress In your city." said Mr. Covllle, "you should secure the presence of Stcretary of Ag- riculture W llson. He Is a brilliant speak er, a well posted man and would be of great assistance to your enterprlflng as sociation In building up the aalrylng In. dustry. Mr. Wilson, I am positive, would be delighted to come to Astoria, an hi- takes great Interest In the work." The ordinance passed at the mating of the council Thursday night defining addi tional duties of the city attorney was a finely worded document, and on which could only emanate from the; brain of one versed in the Intricacies of law. Be fore It passed It was statod the ordinance wag Introduced with the consent, and, tr. fact the favor of the city attorney, who was absent from the meeting, it delegate pwer to th? attorney which should properly rest with the stref committee. This was done for the pur pose of avoiding lawsuits arising out of defective contructs and other matters p'r tainlng to public improvements. It was generally understood ihat thoso martters were already a part of the Uutlen 0f the city attorney, upon which he should pun before havir.g gone t.irouii tho regular proceouinrcs of the council. Tho ordi nance makes it comiUlFory for tho city attorney and the street committee to per form those duties, otherwise their expul sion will follow. Another peculiar fea ture about the ordinance, was that It was introduced and passed at the samo meet ing, and It is JUHt barely pwsin.e that not a councilman present, excepting Its au-i thor. mroufihly understood It. The or dinance raising the Halary passed the sec- onu roaaing and will come up for final passage at the next meeting of the coun cil.

The Oliver aanda, owned by Bam Oliver, have been od tor It.fcU The purchaser wa Mr. Starr, of th rtllor Rock rackln Ca. Th sanJs hav oeen in iuiguot since the fall of v. the suit, undoubted, ly. growing out of th fact tlwt the grounds during th fishing season ta.M rear, netted Oliver, clear t XJne. ClOBiX Oliver held a title U the grouada from th stat of Orygen, and a suit waa (lied by Waimlnctoa aardea at th close of the season of thai year. The suit was based on the grounds that th swnds were within th Washington Una and the title hehl by Oliver waa Void. The com hu been In litigation since and has lvn de cldeil several tlmea In favor of Oliver, Ijiwults being exienlve and appellants having aaiple mns and being dotoT' mined to a-tn the rase, Oliver, It Is sild, finally compromlsfd snd rvltnqulnhed his rutnt to the grvunds for the amoun stated. While the case was pending I the courts Oliver has tlhcl the ground ervry season, doing fairly well. The niU Jut sold are one of the Ik ground on the river and one of th few grounds on the river on which the owner has made a fortune.

During hi short stay her several suits were fll-d against him. Including one by his wife. from whom he was separated. Every sea son r:nce that time these nnda, ilk oil ver's, have dn very lltue. in fact. It Is said enough mney ha iM been msile on th Jim Crow sands to Juttfy anythin like the price paid to Woods at Ihut time. The shining twenties yielded by tne sands to thftr owner that season at tracted capital and enhanced the value of s'.enlng grounds. Title were contested the snd office of both states were be. sieged with applications for fllmg on sands, deeds examined and several l.iw suits Aled. which sre still pending tn the courts of Oregon and Washington, their final determination depending largely on the amount of money behind the contes uuits. The money speot In thl way, It Is safe to say. would far exceed the most sanguine expectations of either of the rontestunts of what would accrue frm the lands la dispute.

It Is a mailer of Importance to Astoria, of course, but it Is of Infinitely greater Importance to the wheat growers of the Wlilimctio valley and eastern Oregon.
