INSPECTOR BRANDT.
Object Of His Recent Visit to Astoria
Explained.

immigration Inspector Victor Brandt,
well known in this city where for sew
eral years he was stationed in his de-
partment OF the Federal service, spent
the day here recently, as the guest of
friends, and thereby hangs bit of a
story. Mr.. Brandt on being ordered to
the metropolis for duty, conceived the
idea that lit was not good to live alone
and most happily closed negotiations
(which had been pending for sometime
before he left here) with one OF Astoria's
handsomest and cleverest matNns,
namely Mrs Ida Christensen, the popu-
lar manager OF the Flavel brick building
apartment house, at the corner of Bond
and Tenth. For demonstration Of the
truth of the foregoing quotation,
the pair were married in Portland, and
are now pleasantly ensconsed in the
Hotel Arminius, on Morrison street. one
of the really beautiful apartment houses
of that city, where Mrs. Brandt presiies
with her customary dignity and success,
while the Inspector pursues his accus-
toned duties at the United States I'm
migration office. Their numerous friends
in this city will wish them abundant
happiness and all manner OF success.

Mr.. Lee Willard in "The Silver King
at the Astoria Theater last night re-
peated his success Of Monday night and
only the most commentary remarks have
been heard about this production
Mr.. Willard, in the character Of VIII
fred Denver, does one of the best piecea
of work it has been the pleasure of the
patrons of this theater to witness, and
his Characterization of Wilson Barrett's
greatest success was a most excellent
one.
Miss Ethel Roberts, in the role Of
Nellie Denvers, won her way once again
into the hearts of her hearers. This
little lady is rapidly becoming one of
the greatest fayorites in the esteem Of
the theater going citizens of this city
that has ever appeared here and the ap-
plause and floral offerings that she is
greeted with at each performance are an
evidence Of how deeply she has ingratiat-
ed herself into the feeling Of her hearers.
Mr. Payne, in the character of Herbert
Skinner, the Spider, gave a most excel
lent performance of the part and his
cool, methodical manner of handling it
and his avoidance of the many pitfalls
that await the performance of part Of
this nature earned for him the most
hearty dislike and i'll feeling Of everyone
in the audience.
Mr.. Arthur Elton gave most delight
full conception of the old family servant
and brought the tears to many eyes by
his masterful conception of the ehGrae-
tei
Mr.. Wallis Roberts in the part of
Elijah Coombs, a part very similar to
Fagin, gave most creditable perform
ance OF the character and the difficult
role was excellently presented in detail.

and Thursday night and on Friday night
the famous play of the plains, "A Texas
Ranger will be presented.

Fred Palo yesterday came to Astoria

Nick George In which he was charged
with assault with dangerous weapon.
A John Doe warrant was also sworn out

pecting that II was In Palo's boat he

CLAIM INCREASE IN
BUSINESS
MANY LOCAL MERCHANTS CLAIM
BIGGEST DAYS TRANSACTIONS
SINCE CHRISTMAS IN ASTORIA
YESTERDAY.

Several merchants in Astoria report
that they did the biggest days business
yesterday that they have experienced
since last Christmas. From some un'
known cause buying in nearly all classes
Of retail stores was exceptionally heavy
and feeling Of enthusiasm has resulted
among local business men.
II is figured that reports of an increase
in the salmon catch for the past few
days has helped business in a general
way, while few merchants believe that
the abolition of gambling has turned
considerable money in other directions
than to the gaming table, the stores be-
ing those benefited,
Numerous purchases in dry goods,
jewelry, and merchandise of all descrip-
tions were reported toward the close of
yesterday, the customers in most in
stances ordering values that caused the
retailers to open their eyes. Cash sales
were recorded in most instances and
money in Astoria appeared never so
plentiful.
Local business men believe that the
city is growing in business and building
so rapidly during the past month that
the sales of yesterday were but the
natural result of Astoria's growth,
Consequently they believe thar busi-
ness is on the boom and that it win con-
tinue to grow. In direct contradiction
to representations that business would
fall off when the lid went on, this in
crease of sales was reported yesterday.

RECEIVES TOKEN OF
BRAVERY
C. E. BOWERS AT SEASIDE RE-
cEIvEs MEDAL FROM R. L. GRA.
HAM WHOM BOWERS PULLED OUT
OF THE SURF.

G. L. Bowers. Familiarity known as
Jack Bowers" official life saver ut Sea-
side during the present summer, has re-
ceived u handsome gold medal from a
visitor TO the beach whom he pulled out
CT the surf several weeks ago. The me-
dal was sent to him by mail without
any enclosure except the engraving on
the front, which is as follows:
Presented to G. T. Bowers, by r. L.
Graham, for saving his life in the surf
at Seaside. Thursday, July 81, 1907.
Graham is from some place in Ohio
and on the date mentioned on the medal
got beyond his depth near the Moore
Hotel pier The undertow was heavy
and it caught him suddenly, wishing him
out among the breakers, Not being
eble TO swim he was rapidly losing con
sciousness, when Jack" caught sight OF
him and plunged into the surf for the
rescue, in spite of the fact that his right
arm was cut off close to the shoulder in
q railroad accident some two years ago,
With one arm Jack is a much bet
ter swimmer than most people with two
arms. He seized Graham, who was in
a gIoggy condition from taking in too
much salt water, by the neck of his ba-
thing suit. Using his legs to. propel
him he brought himself and the half
drowned man ashore, the latter being
little the worse for his dangerous expert
enec.
People on shore watched these pro-
ceedings with amazement, while Jack"
went about his duties attending to the
pier as though hauling drowning people
out was about as common as pulling
driftwood from the surf He did not
know the mans name and little atten-
tion was paid to the incident, except
that ME Moore appointed "Jack" life
saver at the beach, because of his skill
in tho water.
"Jack'' Bowser was therefore surprised
when he received a little package by
mail last week, which on being opened
was found to contain a neat recogni-
ton of his bravery, He does not care
to have any "fuss' made over what he
does but he was much pleased at the
kindness shown by the rescued man,
"Jack" got his nickname some years
ago in the navy, having seen service at
the battle of Manila Bay, in the Philip
pines. He is great strong fellow
at present and was almost fully grown
when he was sixteen years of age. When
war broke out with Spain he managed to
enlist as being of age. While helping
at a landing party in the face of heavy
fire he received two bullets in his left
leg, Before he was twenty he went
through more EXPERIENCES than most men
do in lifetime
He is now twenty three years Of age
and has attended several colleges, includ-
ing the Idaho University. His early life
in the navy, however, has made him a
restless man and he has never quite com
pleted his studies, He is figuring on
going to Stanford University this fall to
complete course in some line that will
suit his tastes.
