TO DISPLAY FRUITS.
And FLOWERS
PLANNING FOR FINE AGRI-
CULTURAL EXHIBIT DURING
REGATTA WEEK AND FOR A
FLORAL SHOW.

c. S. Dow, the horticultural inspec-
tor for this section, said yesterday
that there has been a first class crop
of hay in Clatsop county this season,
and also fine crop of grains. Mr.,
Dow is naturally familiar with these
things, and he said that apparently it
has been fair season for the dairy
interests, also, though because Of the
late spring the crosses came late.
Just now Mr.. Daw is interested in
the flower and agricultural displays
which are to be gotten in readiness
for the regatta. 1t is hoped that
irst-class agricultural display will be
made by the farmers of Clatsop
county, and all is invited to bring in
their biggest and finest products OF
the farm and dairy. Generally speak
ing, it has apparently not been good
year for fruits, apples, berries and so
on, but nevertheless it is thought that
fine showing can be made. The
agricultural exhibit is to be made. a
permanent one, to be kept in the
basement of the county court, and all
entries that are accepted will be paid
for il payment is required.
Especial efforts will be made to
have an excellent display of flowers
for the regatta week. and it is hoped
that the ladies of Astoria especially
will take an active interest in this
matters. A committed of ladies is
to be appointed for the flower show,
and it is hoped to make showing
that will do great credit to the city.
John Denck who is practical
florist, will have charge Of the floral
exhibit.
Herman Ahlers of Necanicum has
agreed to give series of demonstra
tions. of the scientific handling Of
bees, as a part of the agricultural

Might Build Bridge

1t is believed that solution of the
trouble irf the improvements on Irv-
ing street near Eighteenth will be
found in constructing trestle bridge
over the spot of shifting earth. When
the work was first planned such a
bridge was suggested, but was object
ed to, especially by one of the ada
cent property owners 1t was said at
the city hall yesterday that the con-
tractor, Mr. Goodin, had said that he
believed he could still construct the
bridge and keep within the amount
OF his contract. But If such a bridge
is to be built the sooner the present
work is stopped the better. Prob
ably all OF the land owners within
the assessment district would be will
ing to waive any objections that they
might have, or may find, to the plan
OF building bridge, and bind them.
selves to pay their assessments, for
in the event that some such plan is
not soon carried out it is said that
probably an additional taxation is
likely to be imposed upon them.

Found Broken Connection

In communication to the city
council, ]. P. Badollet, for the Bado-
lette estate, complains that certain
sewer work which had been done
under the Badollet building on Com
mercial street was performed in a
slipshod manner. Twice the job was
done, and twice it was paid for. Then
within the past year the city adver-
tised for bids for certain sewer work
including a connection under the
Badollet building This contract was
let to a local contractor In his COM
munication Mr.. Badollet says that
the sewer has given much trouble
and recently an investigation was
made in the presence of the street
inspector He alleges that the con
nection was found to have been done
in most bungling manner and that
board had even been laid over it to
conceal it from view. Now Mr.. Ba
dollet calls upon the city to pay for
the expense of making the repair, as
he says that the estate has paid for
the work twie and should not be COM
pelled to pay the third time for the
work that was improperly done.
