right along side Of the great Swift
townsite, "Kenton." The sale Of the
lots in Swinton has been pheno-

been known in the history Of the real

cause Of this Is the fact that il is To-
Gated right in the center Of the great
activity on the Peninsula and people
have been quick in seeing the excel

In speaking about the development
and condition Of things in that par

When the big store Of the Foard &
Stokes Hardware Company was
opened up for business yesterday
morning al the customary hour, the
unpleasant discovery was made that
the establishment had been burglariz-
ed during the night and eleven fine
6ne weapons, consisting Of four guns
(three shotguns and one ritel and
seven reyolvers taken; each and all q
the highest grade Of manufacture, and
approximating a value Of 500,
The burglary was committed along
about midnight and when the tide
was out, the thieves having made the
attack upon the house from beneath
the street decking, AZ there are plenty

from the outer premises 10 the door
through which entrance was effected.

used to bore holes clear around the

panel was lifted out. The opening

CONGRESSMAN N TOWN
FOR A FEW HOURS
HON. w. R. ELLIS HERE YES
TERDAY EN- ROUTE FOR
THE COOS COUNTRY.

Hon. w. R. Ellis, Of Pendleton,
senior representative in Congress, for
the State Of Oregon was in the city
yesterday morning for an hour, Or
two, OF during the stay here Of the
steamship Breakwater, en- route to
Coos Bay. Judge Ellis was enjoying
the luxury Of an early and beautiful
morning in Astoria, with its brilliant
sunshine, and fresh winds from the
open sea, and had just finished
hearty breakfast when the Astorian
man joined him in a promenade on
the Breakwater's upper deck. After
an interchange of courtesies, in which
Astoria and her people lost nothing
by way Of friendly comment at the
instance Of the distinguished East
Oregonian, that gentleman went on
to say something Of a cheering ma
ture in political way, which was to
the following effect:
~The State Republican Executive
Committee deemed il necessary to
send some one down into the lower
coast country in the interests Of Mr..
Taft's election, not from any fear
that the normal majorities down that
way would be disturbed by even a
fraction, but as evidence Of good
faith, genuine good faith, and to
show our friends they were not for
gotten, 50 they asked me to 60 down
there and give an account Of things,
and that is my errand. While | am
there it is my purpose TO hold five
meetings and deliver addresses at
bIarshheld, North Bend, Coquille,
Myrtle Point and Bandon, beginning
next Monday night and taking the
points named, daily, in this sequence.
This should enable me to reach home,
or at least Portland, on the evening
Of Sunday after next.
"Of course you good people Of
clatsop are going to send up round
thousand majority for Taft next
month; that goes without saying; no
body ever worries about your county
at such junctures as this, and indeed
the State at large, is safer than it ever
was in Presidential election before

this proposition Is due to the fact
that we have our prices much lower
