Henry Johnson, the man who is
accused of breaking into John Erick-
sons scow several days ago, and
stealing suit OF clothes and small
sumof money belonging to Andrew
Anderson, is now at San Francisco.
The robbery was not discovered BY
Erickson and Anderson until return
ing from an extended fishing trip
Wednesday morning, when the police
were Immediately notified. One of
the first things the police did was to
investigate if the party had left town,
and after very little trouble, it was
learned for the register Of the steam
er California that Johnson had left
on that boat for San Francisco last
Saturday. AS the amount stolen is a,
great deal less than it would cost to
have the man brought back, Anderson
the man who was robbed, has de-
cided to drop the case. and stand his
loss cheerfully.

and from which sojourn all concerned
reaped wealth Of pleasure and in

Mrs. Mary Ellen Carnahan at the

Mrs. Mary Taylor and Miss Florence
Carnahan, for a trip up the Columbia
river as far as the steamers go, just
for an outing and chance to be to-

one Of Uncle Johns clever expedients

One feature Of the voyage will be

An Evidence OF Thrift

There is another good building go
ing up on Bond street, at the instance
of its owner, Joseph Jacobson, the
well known cigar man, who had
thriftily run his cigar and tobacco
business to a point where his accumu-
lations needed proper Investment.
Mr. Jacobson is erecting a two-story
frame structure, the ground floor of
which will have two stores and the
upper story two suites of rooms, He
will occupy one-half Of the building
himself and rent the balance, as well
as the smaller store he is now in.
The building is a credit to the street
and city, as well as to the man who
has husbanded his affairs so well as
this demonstrates.

for the arrest of two young men
James Dolan and George Brambaugh,
charging them with the theft Of fine
Kodak camera from the Eagle drug
store Of 7. F. Laurin. The men came
to the city together and were ac-
companied by woman whom they
claimed as their wives, but whom
they did not hesitate to quarter in
such districts of the city as no re-
spectacle men ever think of taking
their wives, let alone making them
live there. They both came under
police scrutiny soon after their arrival
on their score alone, but managed to
escape conclusions with the depart
ment because they were working for

Modern barber shop on Commercial
street On Tuesday they entered the
Eagle drug store and while one of
them took the clerk in charge, to an
other room for private talk, the
other lifted" the Kodak, which was
missed shortly after their departure.
The police have other and straight
discriminating evidence against them;
and though they have both left the
city, steps will be taken to apprehend
and bring them back.

Another Traffic Injustice

There is firm in this city that
feels it has just cause for kicking at
the N. P, and the A. & c. railways on
the score Of unjust and discriminating
ratings and routings Six packages
they had ordered from Seattle, and
which were billed out of there on the
first of July, are not yet at hand, and
they were routed here via Portland,
and the Portland rate added to the
through Seattle-Astoria figures, Ever
since the A. & G. was sold, this sys-
tenn of exaction has been enforced
against Seattle shipments to this
place, Gods are not transhipped at
Goble any more, on the old rating,
bus have to go to Portland and then
take the local rate from there here,
which is raw enough in all CON
science, let alone the fact that have
not gotten here after 10 days time,
There is going to be something doing
in this matter, as the goods are con
tract supplies for government use and
service.
