yesterday evening at about o'clock
and asked for admission. The city
physician was notified and he at once
took the patient in hand. Later he
was placed In the custody of Dudley
Blount, who started for The pest house
with him. The patient had walked the
entire distance from Goble, and Sunday
night put mp at Knappa. 4 phone
message from Svensen announces his
presence there and that he was headed
for Astoria, but he managed to slip
by the officers who were detailed to
look out for him, The young fellow
did not give any reason for coming to
Astoria other than he did not want to
go to Portland. He seemed to know he
had the smalljox though he was not

that his face as yet shows only slight
development, His name and place of
residence has not yet been learned.
He appears to be totally without funds
and the case from every point Of view
is a sad one,

crude and cruel soap can be.

it do.
1t cuts the skin and frets

the council proposing that, II the city
would improve Jerome avenue between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets and

occur there. The most used route
to reach the plateau is by way OF Four

blocks are in need Of repair, The
county viii crush the rock. but the city
viii be required to pay for it and also
for paving, The cost to the city
would be between $500 and $3.50. The

Next Monday, February nth, the
schools viii reopen their doors and stu
dents In all the grades will resume
their work. At least this is the pres
ent intention and there is little, or no
likelihood that there will be change Of
program. Scarlet fever and all other
contagious diseases, which for time
threatened the community with devast-
ating epidemic. have been successfully
brought under control and there Is no
longer reason for continued vacation.
The reason that a check has been plac-
ed upon the disease has been credited
largely to the closing Of the schools
The intention Of Superintendent Clark
Is to continue studies for one week and
then hold the long deferred examina-
tlons. After that the new term will
commence.
