Sunday evening the steamer Francis
II. Leggett crossed out for San Fran
cisco. having In tow the latest monster
log raft to be constructed at Stella,
Wash. The raft was brought down
the river by two OF the sternwheelers
and arrived here at noon. The Leg
gett at once took the great boom In tow
and started out. Weather conditions
being favorable. the steamer started at
once on her trip south. When she got
off the river a friendly northwest wind
was encountered and the Leggett got
an excellent start. The last time a
raft was towed to San Francisco from
Astoria the trip required six days
time, but II is believed here the Leg
gett will make better time. The raft
contains 100000 feet Of logs. The
Leggett Is laden with lumber and lath.
having aboard 1.O5O.OOO feet of lumber
and 100000 lath. There is little
probability of storm arising while
the raft is being towed south and
waterfronters are confident It will
reach the Bay city in safety.

The Multnomah Club bowlers are
organizing to make another try for
the Feldenheimer trophy. Ever since
the trophy has been at the Commercial
Club the Portland bowlers have been
discontented. The Portland CONNER
cial team tried for 1t and went down
to crushing defeat, The Portland Com
mercials expressed the belief that Multi
nomah ought to do the trying, because
Multnomah lost the trophy to Astoria
Commercial, but Multnomah has not
yet challenged. However, the bowlers
are making preparations to take a
chance with the locals during regatta
week.. Commencing with last night, a
4O-game try-out was started, 10 games
to be bowled on each alley. for the
purpose of selecting team. The 10
men finishing highest win be available
for the team, and Of these six will be
selected by she captain to come to AS
toria. The Astorlans have not been
bowling for some weeks, but will prob
ably start practice Immediately in an
ticipation Of the visit. Not the slight
est doubt is entertained here OF the
ability Of the Astoria Commercial team
to defend the famous old pin.

Somebody Loves Him.

Somebody is in love with Tommy
Ross. the giant pitcher of the Com
mercial Club baseball team. The SUM-
day game aroused the sentiment Of the
poets and poetesses, and some young
lady who neglects to attach her name
sends in the following:
Who is Tommy What is he,
That all the boys commend him?
He's the pitcher of our baseball team,
And wins where'er we send hlml
This little jingle comes in the dainty
handwriting of some fair damsel. AS
to the question raised by the poetess
as to what Tommy is, his own state
ment win best throw light on the sub
ject, When Homer Fletcher returned
from California he left several grips
at Harry Twilights cigar store while
he looked around for apartments. When
he found room he went down to get
his grips and took Tommy with him.
For the benefit Of those few who have
never seen Tommy, It may be explain-
ed that he stands feet and weighs
about 2iO pounds. while Mr.. Fletcher
Is about One-half Tommy's size. As

tances. To visit the different parts
Of the grounds taxes ones energy and
