LARGEST nth CROWD
IN OVER TWENTY YEARS
Fine Day, Big Crowd, Noisy 4tll, and
Happy People.

The horsemen on the inside limited
strongly at great race, with some
surprises on tap, but-well, here are
the details.
1t was free for all, pace or trot,
no weight or class, and by happen
stance three fast PAGERS faced the
starter. They were Charley Corcor-
ans Dolly Mix, a little bay PAGER he
got recently at Brookings. and driv-
en- by himself.
Len McWhorter drove a bay geld
ing King Russell, owned by Repre-
sentative Humiston, and just ship
ped here from Minnesota.
George Livingston entered and
drove the little black Tibbs horse
from Highmore.
Here was evidently a game on to
thrill the horsemen.
Ben Foley's brown trotter Relton,
and DR.. Sweetland's sorrel trotter
Red completed the entries.
The game lasted one heat. The
horses got away after score or two
and before the quarter was reached
it was an easy one, two, three with
Mix, Russell and Tibbs. The Cor
coran mare handily won this heat,
half mile, in 1:142, with Russell a
good second, and the ~Highmore
horse third.
The second heat was about repe-
tition. Then the last card was play
ed when the Tlbbs horse was sent
after Mix, but the pace was too fast
for him.
This race should have been separ-
ated, with the trotters in one class
and PAGERS in another, but it is due
to the committee in charge to state
that these three speedy PAGERS were
brought into Miller after the pro-
gram was arranged, and their ap-
pearance was due to some sudden
thrills Of local sports.
The half mile dash for jumpers
gave good race between the Rowen
horse, and Sweetland's Doris, first
and second, respectively. They
were cleverly handled by Geo. Buck
and Charley Strong, and the best
Buck could do was to push his
mount under the wire by a head.
There were two or three other en-
tries, but they were out-classed.
The pony race was won by Fred
Pings pony, with Tom Wade's
second.
The crowd at the grounds lined
the stretch, and entirely circled the
ball field. At the same time both
merry -go-rounds were running up
town, and many people were on the
streets. 1t was considered Miller's
SIedIcSJ fJil CEOWu SlllCc lllS DlS
Indian dance of 1884, and some
think it exceeded that day.
The crowd was called back to Main
street, where another good program
was pulled off, including a hub and
hub race of hose and hooks. won by
the latter. The 100 yard sprint was
easily won by Roy Henyon, who has
won nearly all 4th races here from
the time he was youngster going
to school.
The tug of war was won by coun-
try bcys over the town boys.
At night the best display of fire.
works ever given in Miller was let
loose at the foot of Main street,

new MAIL SERVICE
FOR COLUMBIA
OPEN POUCH SYSTEM IS EXPECTED
TO BE SOON SERVING ALL THE
TOWNS ALONG THE RAILROAD
LINE.

While there is nothing official to be
given out by the officers OF the Astoria
postotiice, yet it has been rumored that
there will be better mail service estab-
lished between Astoria and points up
the river and on the railroad line. The
service will not only be better through
one but the towns along the river and
more especially along the railroad line
will receive twice day service
whereas they are getting service of but
cnce a day in one direction.
1t is expected that the official infor-
nation will be sent out from the Port
land postofice shortly; inspectors have
been looking over the situation and It is
almost safe to say that their report will
he favorable to the innovation.
The small towns and settlements
along the A. g. C. r. R. win be the ones
most directly benefited. As it is now
| if person in Clifton wants to mail a
letter to some one in Goble it is sent to
Portland or Astoria on the train and
then sent to Goble, In these modern
times it is long way to get news to a
friend in Goble.
An open pouch system will be what
the postoilice department will put on the
run and it will serve all the towns along
the railroad between Astoria and Port
land twice q day, The service demands
it and tine people along the line ought to
have it.
II this is put into effect it will prob
ably mean that little or no mail will be
sent out of Portland and down the Co.
lumbia River by way of steamers. At
the present time the Lurline and Has
salo are carrying mail to Oregon and
Washington towns. They have the same
trouble in sending and receiving mail as
those who live on the railroad. Under
the new system the mail for these
towns will be thrown off the train at
some town like Maygers ana a Star
route system will take the mail to the
river towns, 1t may be carried by
steamers but most probably by launches
and small boats.
The contemplated change will be Of
incalculable benefit to one of the mos
important sections of the state.

MYSTERIOUS DROWNING.
Waino Niemi, Who Arrived in Astoria
Recently, Found Drowned

The bodytof young man was picked
up In the lower river last evening and
turned over 10 Coroner Pobl who will
probably hold m inquest to determine
the circumstances surrounding the
drowning yesterday morning
The body ha, been positively identi-
fed as that Of Waino Nicmi, native OF
Finland, 20 years Of age who came TO
this city from Seattle on the noon train
last Saturday in company with friend.
Niemis friend was acquainted In Az.
toria and on their arrival here they
went to visit some friends Of this party
and so spent the afternoon together
Niemi went to the lower end Of the
city where he Is reported TO have been
drinking and gambling after which he
disappeared and nothing was known Of
him until his body was found. In his
pockets were found two cents In money,
a revolver and some personal papers
that showed he had been a railroad la
borer. His friend says that upon his
arrival here Niemi had some money on
his person that is now estimated TO have
been over over 1856 although II was first
reported that he had 5000 There are
no marks of violence on the body SO 1t
will be difficult to determine whether
his drowning was accidental or the re-
suit Of foul play.
A searching investigation win be
made.

According to reports in Astoria there

forests covering many square miles in
both states. Five dollars is the recog-
nized price per cord in this city and
back in inland places it brings Ss per

Scarcity Of labor on the coast is given
as one reason for the tleaIth OF wood,
while business in other lines is boom
ing to such an extent that the cutting of
firewood along the Columbia does not
, cause much interest among investors.
That there is ample opportunity for
people with a little capital to make
good money" cutting wood, however,
is yer yeyident A number of local men
controlling land covered with timber
have signified their willingness to allow
anybody to take it away for the cutting,
There are probably thousands OF acres OF
timber land in this section which would
be turned over to woodcutters for the
timber part of them in this manner.
1t takes the timber some months to
dry out and as there is hardly any at
present, the prospects are that it will
come at a much higher figure than at
present, before many weeks go by. Re-
ports from Portland and other cities in
dicate that the wood famine has been
felt stronger at those places than in
Astoria.
1t is probable that the Chamber OF
Commerce will come to the rescue by Sc
curing eastern labor for securing fire.

What One Enjoys.

At Otto sund's pretty AMI cosy resort
"The Commercial" one finds all that
the inner man desires in the refreshment
line and of the best quality too. To
pass little time in such a neat place
and spend it in pleasant conversation
with genial friends, probably little
business talk, is, to say the least, en-
livening. Courteous treatment is an
other thing that is appreciated and one
receives it from Otto himself who takes
charge during the day and from his
pleasant night manager both OF whom
dispense the best to be had. "The Com
mercial," 500 Commercial street, is web
known and widely patronized.
