He Wears a Button

: The big regatta buttons evidently
haven't become the fashion. for there
are very few OF them seen on the
streets. +. l.. Evans is one man who
wears one, proudly, too Everyone
in Astoria ought to have one" he
said yesterday. There is no need
waiting for the regatta to come, Now
is the time to wear them and thus let
people know that the regatta is COM
ing and that Astorians are proud of
it. They look handsome, too" he
concluded, looking complacently at
the one he had in his coat lapel. Mr..
Evans believes buttons count for
something. Just to advertise the new
electric line he has ordered 1000 but
tons which will be distributed gratuit-
ously during regatta week, each but
ton carrying the words, astoria, Sea-
side & Tillamook Railway" and pic
ture of an electric car.

No Abatement Here

The news that came down from
Portland yesterday, that the union
barber shops Of the metropolis, 235 in
number, had dropped the price OF hair
cutting from IS cents to rs cents, to
hold their trade as against the non
union shops which were charging the
lesser sum, will have no effect in AS
toria. The president Of the local
union, Mr.. Cadonau, said last evening,
that all union towns and shops are
quite independent OF the action taken
at any given center, and set their own
scales and adhere to them, or reduce,
or advance them, as the exigencies Of
the local business warrant, without
reference to what any other town or
union may do Astoria prices, he said,
remains as they are.

SECURE MONEY FOR
DAIRY PLANS
SUM OF $4,000 ALREADY Sc
CURED AND BIG MEETING
OF FARMERS CALLED FOR
NEXT SATURDAY.

In the Office OF the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday it was announc-
ed that plans are progressing rapidly
to organize the dairy interests of this
locality, on both sides. of the Coium-
bia river. The sum Of $4,000 was rais-
ed yesterday. This will be used as .
nucleus to start a condensory in AS
toria, and as this sum was raised vita
out any effort at all it is presumed
that $1,000 more can be secured with
out much trouble. 1t is desired to
have $4,000 back Of the condensory
enterprise.
A meeting has been called for next
Saturday afternoon at o'clock in the
Chamber Of Commerce of all the
farmers in this community who are
interested in the dairy or condensory
matters, and a big meeting is expect
ed John H. Whyte of the Chamber
of Commerce has worked hard for
several weeks in thoroughly analyz-
ing the situation, and has compiled
wide fields Of information and at the
meeting on Saturday the whole mat
ter viii be gone over in detail. There
are several well known gentlemen
who believe that the dairy and CON
densory matter is the most important
question now before the residents OF
this community, barring none other.
and there seems no doubt that real
ization Of the plans now on foot win
mean much for Clatsop county. The
most important fact seems to be that
the plan includes the bringing here
of large number Of Germans as
settlers on the lands throughout the
county Yesterday DR.. Barr and Mt
Wiese, the German who is here, went
over to the Gray's River region on
the dairy matter.

G. r. Clark was fined S. in police
court yesterday afternoon on charge
of peddling without a license. Clark
dropped into town several days ago
and began selling coat and trouser
hangers, made out of wire, which he
alleges he makes himself In police
court the defendant said that he had
sold his wares all over Oregon and
had never been arrested before, mas

to let him dispose of wares that he
himself manufactured, Police Judge
Anderson, however, read the Astoria
ordinance, which provides that none
but farmers are permitted to sell
goods, of their own production or not,

ANOTHER VICTIM OF
The COLUMBIA
HIR AMATSU, A JAPANESE
FISHERMAN, FALLS FROM A
: ScoW AT THE SANBoRN-CUT-
TING CANNERY.

At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
while loading a salmon-head scow
beneath the fish platform of the San
born-C Cutting cannery in this city, Hir
Amatsu, japanese engaged in haul
ing this commodity to the De Force
oil plant, lost his footing on the
scow and fell into the Columbia and
was drowned
Amatsu was married man, his
wife living in Japan, and is said to
have been a faithful worker and tenn
perate man. He was 36 years of age,
and had many friends among his
countrymen here. He was evidently
alone when the accident happened,
but as soon as he was missed, some
japanese began polling for the body
and found it about an hour after he
is supposed to have gone overheard.
Coroner J. A. Gilbaugh was notified
about o'clock and at once took Of
fetal charge of thes body. The coro-
ner made careful search Of the body
for any wounds or contusions that
might point to foul play, but did not
discover the slightest trace of any
thing of the sort. An inquest is not
likely to be held unless a physicians
scrutiny of the remains, today, shall
develop some good reason for such
an investigation,
Amatsu has a brother in business in
Portland and he has been telegraphed
for and will be down on the Hassalo
early this morning, or on the noon
express.
On his arrival the final disposition
of the body will be decided and the
question of the inquest will also be
determined.

timber fire Is now underway on the
southcrly slope Of the north shore
hills, opposite this city A sharply
distinct fire was noticed there yestcr-
day morning, early and as the day
progressed the march 81 the fire, up
the face Of the heights, was clearly
noted and widely commented on.
The smoke hangs low on the face Of

Somebody Started Fire

An old building, the property OF
Captain Charles Hobson, located at
Fifth and Astor streets, was last
night, little before midnight, the
scene of small fire, that had un-
doubtedly been started by some mn
known person or persons. The
building was formally, years ago, used
as sash and door factory but for the
last number of years has been empty
mad unoccupied. When the fremen
arrived they found that the place
where the fire started had been satu-
rated with coal oil Fortunately. how
ever, the fre-fghters arrived before
the fire had gained much headway,
and stream from No soon extir-
guished the flames.

Articles of Incorporation

Articles of incorporation were filed
in the Office of the county clerk yes
terday of the Astoria Automatic Tele-
phone Company, this being the or
ganization that is to handle the fran
chise granted by the common council
to the Northwestern Long Distance
Telephone Company. Evidently the
franchise is to be assigned to the in
corporation, The Astoria Automatic
Telephone Company is capitalized at
100000, divided into 1000 shares of
500 each and the three ihcorporators
are George E. Waggoner, G. c, Full
ton and John H. Whyte. The law re-.
quires that there shall be at least
three incorporators, and the plan now
is to 60 ahead and interest as much
local capital in the concern as is pos
sible, according to Mr.. Waggoner.
The principal Office Of the incorpora-
ton will be in this city. The fran
chise granted to the telephone COM
pany was drawn by City Attorney
Abercrombie and as far as can be
now seen is in most excellent shape,
and apparently is quite fair to both
the company and the city. 1t is un-
derstood that work is to be COM
menced on the new system very soon,
The company has 80 days in which to
accept the franchise, Unless all
signs are without meaning in this
case, it looks as If Astoria is to wit
ness a merry telephone war in which
the city ought to come out ahead.
