SUNDAY STILL HUNT.
Made by Astoria Police Officers After
Supposed Bold Burglar.

Fred Barker who resides at $50 18th
street, had the rather unusual expe-
rience Sunday night Of having his
room invaded by two determined men
with drawn revolyers and receiving no
worse treatment than being presented
with liberal supply Of cigars.
He had taken quiet stroll around
the house at a late hour, smoking a
cigar and enjoying the pleasant eve
ming. This method Of procedure was
regarded as highly suspicious to a
young couple who happened to be
looking at the moon themselves at
that particular hour and after marking
his stealthy entrance at rear door,
they Jared post haste to Police Com
missioner Martin Foard. That official
heard their tale with dubious ear, but
rang up central over the phone and
asked her to send up a policeman.
So 1t happened that Sergeant
Twombley and Policeman Kaufman
received what they believed to be a
riot call and made hot haste to the
scene Of action.
Kaufman guarded the front entrance
and Sergeant Twombley made a re-
connaisance. A light in an upper win
dow attracted his attention and he
climbed up a tree to look inside. He
saw nothing, but coming down he
lost his hold and came crashing down
on a pile Of lumber. Kaufman, hear
ing the noise, came around the cor
ner loaded for burglars. When ex-
plantations had been made, the two
entered by the rear door and made
their way softly upstairs, with re-
volyers drawn. In an upper room they

tirely self-explanatory and will be
read with interest since 1t deals with
a matter closely affecting every prop

test Of every man able TO say word

Astoria, Feb. 3, 1907.
"E. c. Giltner, Secy'y.
Dear Sir--In reply 10 your letter Of
the 4th inst. just received, we have to
say that the County Court and the
Astoria Progressive Association have
objected to the formation CT the Port
of Columbia.
"The Chamber OF Commerce has in
gtructed the undersigned to object to
Clatsop county being included in the
port. The Chamber feels that the
State of Greg, !. Is as s1.atl b.iy as
should take charge Of the matter Of
pilotage and towage. Portions Of
Washington as well as Idaho are as
much interested and 1t does not seem
fair that the burden should be thrown
upon few.
I'VE understand from the ship own
ers in Europe that there will not be
many more sail-vessels come to this
port or the coast, as they have given
way to steam.
we feel further that the main thing
is TO get plenty OF water on the bar,
and that then matters will regulate
themselves. For these reason we are
unable to assent to the bill proposed.
Respectfully, JAS. A. WEIGH,

his supporters are reported to have said about

THE COUNTY TICKET.

Nothing about the proceedings at the Repub-
lican County Convention or the ticket there
put forth has caused us to modify in the Slight
est degree the opinion which we expressed Oh
Wednesday, that fusion between the Repup-
licans and Mr.. Hearst's Independence League
ought not TO he made. We said that there
might be candidates on a joint ticket who
would be worthy of support, and there are
such men upon this ticket. However discon-
tented Republicans may feel with the policy
and results of fusion. there is no reason why
they should not Loyalty support Judge NJ. Linn
Bruce for the Supreme Court, Judge Charles
s. Whitman for the Court of General Sessions
and Judge William II. Wndhams for the City
Court All OF these candidates already sit in
these three courts, respectively, by appoint
ment and they are excellent men, fully quail
fed both by character and capacity for the
places to which they have been nominated.
OF the qualifications of the other candidates
for judicial station little is known. Mr.. Palli-
ser has for several years been a familiar figure
because Of his extreme radicaliSm. The others
are incOnSpicuOuS. Some of them may be salts
factory candidates. Everybody doubtless will
know more about them and be better able to
decide whom to support when their records
and qualifications. together with the character
and fitness Of the Tammany nominees, have
been examined into by the committee OF the
Bar Association.
The nomination OF Mr. Ihmsen for Sheriff
gives special point to what we have said about
the extreme improperly and undesirabity of
fusion. 1t is impossible to keep the figure of
Mr.. Hearst in the background. Mr.. Ihmsen
personally signifies nothing 10 the voters of
this city except Mr.. Hearst. He has been from
the beginning Mr.. Hearst's organizer He has
attended TO the practical politics of the Hearst
10 +lo
Hearst political methods, and they have already
been passed upon by the voters and pronounced
obnoxious. In nominating Nj. Ihmsen the
Hearst machine follows the example familiar
in the machine politics against which the In
dependence League IS ostensibly a protest Of
rewardng faithful service" that often can
not afford to be overnice. Public opinion is
strongly against such nominations, and public
opinion is right
