A Produce Problem

A well known farmer drove into the
city recently with a wagon loaded
down with a lot OF Grated produce,
the local demand for which is peren-
NAL and widespread. He went to a
certain house that deals in that kind
OF thing and offered the lot for sale.
He was offered 50 low a price that it
AZ once disposed him 10 send the
stuff 10 Portland. He sent il, and
received handsome percentage over
the figure named to him here, and. ma
turally, congratulated himself on the
turning Of q clever deal. What was
his amazsment, two days later, to
find his very crates and goods shipped
back from Portland, to the merchant
who had offered him the meagre price
that dFove him to Portlandl This,
and the further fact, that the-Astoria
house was selling the stuff at the
usual quotation to its retail customers
without evidently having taken cog
nizance OF the double shipment TO the
metropolis and backl This is fact
and not altogether a pleasant one.

A Lively Crowd

Secretary o, L, Ferris, Of the Co.

arrived here yesterday noon, on a
special car attached 10 the noon ex-
press with about 20 OF the company's
realty statesmen, en- route to the
eompany's new and beautiful coast
property, Columbia Beach, north of
Gearhart Park, and stopped off for a
brief lunch at Astoria. President
Clark could not come down with the
bunch being delayed in Portland on
other affairs The idea was to give
the men a practical insight into the
property that is soon to be marketed

speak by the card in their contact

Don't Like The Methods

II has developed here. during the
past few days. that several Of the
best known insurance companies hav-
ing agencies in Astoria and which
were until very recently members Of
the Oregon Board Of Underwriters,
have withdrawn from the board and
are operating as non-board concerns,
and what is more to the point, are
writing insurance at the old rates that
prevailed before the board made its
last advance on the local risks. They
became disguested with the high
handed methods pursued by the board
and arbitrarily detached themselves in
order to do the squarer thing BY their
own patrons, movement that will
rebound to their credit aud their

owners thereof, while the property
owners one or several blocks away
really receive nothing but pure bene-
fits from the whole improvement.
If the present practical rule were
to be changed it is easy to conceive
of an improvement whereby one man
would have to pay only (sayl $40 for
an improvement, while few hundred
feet away another man might have to
pay (say) $780, Yet both thereafter
would receive equal benefits from the

For reasons Of this nature the Nor

Also remembering that the assess
ment was made in entire accord with
the plain provisions Of the charter,
which permit no other method.
Anna ]. Brown objected to the as
.sessment on block 81, Upper Astoria,
on Irving avenue, alleging that the
assessment was exorbitant, and that
no benefits could accrue, but that
damage would. Another protest on
Irving avenue came from F. L. Lein-

MRS. LONGTANE IS IN
CATHLAMET JAIL
WOUNDED MANS FRIENDS
EAGERLY ENQUIRE AFTER
HIS CONDITION.

DR.. Fred Peacock, who was shot by
Mrs Adelaine Longtaine at cathIam-
ct on Friday afternoon, is said to have
a fairly good chance for recovery,
though there il admittedly danger
that some complication may arise to
make his case more critical. AT the
hospital IL was yesterday said DR..
Peacock had been nervous and rest
less during the night after the bullets
we're cut out, and yesterday bis condi-
ton remained unchanged. Because Of
the fact that one Of the bullets en-
tered the pleural cavity there is the
possibility OF inflammation there.
Mrs Longtaine was locked up in
the cathlamet jail. and it is said the
place is IN deplorably bad condition
and unfit to receive prisoners. 1t is
expected her hearing may be delayed
a short time, or until it Is assured
that the physician will recover As
Ear as Is known here she has made no
statement yet In explanation Of her
murderous deed, while collateral evi-
dence tends to show that her mind
was perfectly clear. Had the shooting
been done by man ii probably would
be cowardly in the extreme, for she
shot from behind and gave no word
OF warming The tales Of the two pre-
sumably mysterious strangers are
easily explained, as the two men who
called at the Longtaine ranch few
miles from Cathlamet a short time
before the shooting were Captain
Touze, OF the ship Asniers, now load
ing at Tongue Point, and Conrad lie
Blanc, of the Columbia Bottling
works OF this city. The two gentlemen
were in Cathiamet on a business err
rand and as both are French, and Mr..
lie Blanc knowing the Longtaine fam
lily well, they took advantage Of the
occasion to drive out to the farm. As
they nearcd the place, Mr.. lie Blanc
said yesterday, they met Mrs. Long
taine driving in toward town. After
a few pleasant words she turned back
and drove to the Longtaine home with
them. There all joined in cheerful
talk, and nothing was observed by the
two gentlemen to denote that Mrs.
Longtaine was brooding over the
death of her daughter and no allusion
was made to DR.. Peacock. The sub
jeet did not arise at all. Mrs. Long
taine seemed TO be her normal self,
and yet only few hours elapsed be-
fore she stood behind the Cathlamet
doctor and fred four shots at him.
Many came down to Astoria from
yesterday and all were Gag
CIR in their enquiries after the condi-
ton Of Dr. Peacock, and the report
that he would probably pull through
all right was received with express
sions of pleasure. Cathlamet people
say that the feeling in regard to the
ease differs very much as between the
people of that city and this; in fact
being almost diametrieally opposite.
DR., Henderson and DR. Reames, the
physicians in charge of the wounded
nan, stated yesterday that while his
is bad there is chance for

Marrow Escape


AT o;40 o'clock last night lightning
struck the big flagstaff on the north
ern front of the Union Fishermen's
Cooperative Packing Company's
plant in Uniontown, and running
down the pole set the dry timbers on
fire at its base, The shock to the
building indicated to the night watch
man that the property had been struck
and he instantly sought 1t out, turned
in an alarm and sent word to have
the Uniontown bell ring, To this
summons scores of men responded
and though the fire department made
a gallant run out, the danger was
passed when they arrived, to the uni
versal qualification of thousands in
that vicinity and indeed all over the
city, since this cannery is one of the
most important industries at the
mouth of the Columbia. While there
was every indication that lightning
struck the building later investigation
showed no trace Of the bolt on the
pole, 1t is possible that the fash
came in on a wire, It was also sug-
gested by several who made an inves-
tigation that there was a possibility
OF incendiarism, though that seems
highly improbable, Certain shavings
and pile Of shingles were found, it
was said, last night However, the
blaze followed immediately after
