The Grand Forks newspapers speak
fiatteringly Of the subject matter and

seriously handicapped by an attack OF
tonsilitis, which rendered him quite

Rounded Up . Pascal.

VIM. Albrecht, who resided few
miles west of Brofy, came to grief last
week, through the medium Of Sheriff
Jones, In one Of the most systematic
swindling schemes it has ever been
the Records duty to chronicle. Not
long ago Albrecht made final proof on
his homestead. Later, lie held an
auction sale of his personal property
at his farm. While waiting for his
receivers receipt to come from the
land Office he informed his numerous
creditors in this vicinity that he
would pay up as soon as his receipt
came, so that he could sell his land.
The receipt came in due time.
Albrecht, having all his arrangements
made for a quiet getaway, last Thurs
day, accompanied by his wife and his
several children, took the north. bound
N. P. train at Brofy, presumably en-
route to western Canada.
But now another factor appeared on
the scene. Sheriff Jones was called
in by some Of the despoiled creditors,
and that gentleman, as usual, at once
proceeded to get busy. Thursday he
'phoned the peace authorities at va
rious points on the N. p. main line
and branches, and in the evening re-
ceived word that his man had been
rounded up at Jamestown.
Friday morning the sheriff took the
n. p. train at Linton on his way to
jamestown. carrying In All inside
pocket number of bills from too
trusting Enmons county business
men who had been held up by the alb
sconder.
When the sheriff was taken into the
presence of Albrecht, at Jamestown.
the fugitive assumed very lofty atti-
tude, telling MIR. Jones, as to some Of
the bills, that his (Albrecht' 81 b,oth-
er, vino lives in the Linton neighbor-
hood, would pay them, and, as to 9TH
er bills, that when lie got located he
intended to send the money to Linton
with which to pay them. But the
sheriff told him that lie would either
pay up or 60 back to Linton and prob
ably serve a term in the penitentiary
afterward. Albrecht then weakened
and paid over about $500 the total OF
the bills.
Mrs. Albrecht quit her husband at
jamestown and, with her children.
returned tn Linton, In the neighbpr-
ho,d nf which place her parents Mr.
aud Mrs. .Jakob Kiemele-and other
relatives reside. She says that AL
brecht told her he had paid all their
debts before he left Linton.
1t seems that not all of tile swim
dler's creditors got their bills into Mr.
Jones hands in time to have them
collected by the sheriff on his James
town trip. Word comes from Stras.
burg that Albrecht owes; .Jaknb Baum
GARNER between eighty and ninety
dollars
The sheriff speaks highly OF the
treatment lie received from the CHIEF
Of police of Jamestown and the sheriff
of Stutsman county.
Macy words Of commendatius are
heard in Linton regarding the prompt
and successful action Of Sheriff Jones
who seems to have fallen into the
habit Of doing his official work just
that way.

ASTORIA OWES ASTORIA.

careful review of the bank state
ments from the two national banks
Of Astoria emphasizes this city's debt
to itself No city such as this can
escape the normal debt established by
such surplusages Of idle and ready
money as are reported to exist here.
There are hundreds OF thousands Of
dollars available for investment and
scores of investments ready for the
quickening touch of those same dol
lars. The chiefest among these is the
building and equipping of electric lines
hence to the adjacent ocean towns.
There is no earthly reason why a
company cannot be organized here for
the launching Of such venture and
every reason on earth why it should
be done. Some such plan is going to
be essential in the near future to
secure the predominance of Astoria as
the common commercial center of this
territory and Astoria capital should
own and direct the enterprise for her
own sake. The Dudley franchises are
available and the rights way. 1t
is said a company has already been
formed for the building of such a sys-
tenn out of Warrenton westward and
southwark to point near Tillamook
Head, and it is such things as this
that will encroach upon the prestige
of Astoria, unless they are fianked by
larger and more direct systems eman-
ating from here. Warrenton is quiet
ly being resolved into new conditions
that will eventually make Astoria sit
up and gasp; and gasping will be Of
little avail. 1t is time Astoria was
chucking her moss and taking a /
hand in her own destiny. She owes it |
to herself and has the means in abund-
ance to secure an invincible lead that
can never be foreshortened.

oREGON'S MILLIONS.

There is the customary grist OF pre-
datory bills on the legislative calen-
dar at Salem, each and all directed
at the boarded millions of Oregon, ly-
ing snug behind her treasury doors.
Some of them are wise. many are OF
dubious worth, and most Of them are
rank steals" without shadow Of ex-
cuse or warrant While we would in
finitely prefer to see the states money
out in the open, circulating and do
ing something in the way of public
and vital improvement, rather than ly-
ing inert and under guard.
we hope circumspection will
govern at the capital and no
nasty tales of organized dep
relation will be told later in the year
TO the shame Of the state and the dis
credit of the lawmakers. We have
had enough Of that.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-02-03
A LONG PROGRAM.

Just as soon as the reorganized
Chamber Of Commerce Of Astoria gets
into workable shape, it will be up
against a long program Of local es-
sentials. First, it must go after that
common point grain rate and secure
it beyond all future disturbance; then
we want an electric railway to every
nearby point on the peninsula and
the coast; this must be followed by
the erection Of a splendid, twentieth
century hotel right here in Astoria;
and then the seawall will be In line
for consideration and attack; these
things secured it will be appropriate
and sequent to go after an independ-
ent line of steamers for coast service
and scores of schooners that shall load
lumber outward, west of Tongue Point.
OF course this does not more than
start the list, but 1t offers a reason
able predicate for the new secretary
no begin on, and by the time these
things are attained there will be sew
eral more matters ready for his ser
vice. But it may as well be said
now, as proven later, If the people Of
Astoria are not going to stand man
fully at the back Of this secretary and
aid him and encourage and fortfy him
by dollars and snap and faith, it were
better for all concerned that he be
not employed at all!
