Mr.. Foard Home

Martin Foard arrived in the city
yesterday from Bucoda. and will re-
main over for the meeting OF the po-
lice commission tonight. Mr. Foard
states that he has not been out OF the
city beyond 40 days, and he denies
that he has given up or lost his resi-.
dence in this city. He says that he
goes away to engage in business, and
that his home and his investments
are in Astoria, In regard to the affairs
OF the police commission, Mr.. Foard
stated yesterday that he had told the
two other members OF the commits
sion that any time they were ready to
appoint a chief or TO take up any
other important matter simply to
wire him and he would come at once,
Since Mr., Foard has been out OF the
city only 40 days, those who are en-
deavoring to have his seat declared
vacant will evidently fail, as the char
ter speciies an absence of 60 days.
Mr.. Foard also stated that there is
evidently misapprehension about his
intentions to build hotel here. He
has no such intentions, he said yes
terdaN though the matter Of leasing
the site on Commercial street who
talked of using it for hotel purposes
had been mentioned to him,

TO START BORING FOR.
OIL At ONCE
MACHINERY WILL BE TAKEN
TO YoUNG'S RIVER
TODAY.

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Chamber OF Commerce last nigh.
the principal matter that arose for
discussion was in relation to the bor-
ing for gas that is to be commenced
at once on the Hess farm south Of
Young's river.
The machinery for the boring Is all
loaded on a scow and will be taken
around into the river this morning
and will then be removed to the site
for boring and set up at once. In a
couple Of days more the FIRST well
should be started. By Friday the
public is invited to visit the scene and
investigate what is going on.
The company that has taken the
matter up consists Of c. G. Palmberg.
III. c. Harrison, Alec Bremner and
In. w. Mcleod. They are financing
the proposition out Of their own
pockets, and hope to obtain fine re-
suits. That there is gas, and perhaps
oil, to be found in Clatsop county has
long been the belief OF many and the
whole community viii doubtless be
pleased to know that definite and
complete experiments are to be made
to determine the matter.
One difficulty has arisen; naturally
the men who are putting in their
money for the boring have wished to
secure lands on which to operate, but
some of the land owners have held
back from permitting them the use Of
the lands, except under costly leases.
The Chamber of Commerce will back
up the matter as far as lies in its
power.
A communication was read at the
meeting last night from Gus Schoen-
bachler, the cigar manufacturer, who
complained that in the matter Of pa
tronizing home industry the cigars
made here are largely overlooked
Mr.. Schoenbachler averred that if
half of the cigars used in this city
were made here, their manufacture
would give employment to 40 or SO
skilled workers, whilst now there is
but work for a quarter that many.
The Chamber adopted a resolution
calling upon Astorians to do all IN
their power to help the home cigar
business along, especially cigar store
men, saloon men, etc. This seems to
be one of the cases where home ar
ticle can be patronized in way that
would really aid the home industry,
though OF course those who sell
cigars are likely to push" the ones
upon which they can make the most
profit and the question Of whether
the dealers can sell the home cigars
at as good a profit as they can some
of the outside makes was not brought
out. On the other hand, some of the
outside makes that can be sold very
cheaply are perhaps made under con
ditions that may be very objection
able, while the home cigars are known
to be clean,

LOST AERONAUTS SAFE
SIX PASSENGERS OF THE AMER- ICA HEARD FROM ON THE
 SIERRA MADRE NOUN

Lost Angeles, Gal, March A.-Word has been received that the balloon America has been found and that it's six passengers are safe. The dispatch says that the missing balloonistS ar rived safely at Switzer's Camp, about half way to the summit of the Sierra Madre Mountains, yesterday after noon.
 The men in the balloon endured many hardships, but few details could be learned because the telephone wire to Switzer's Camp went down. The balloon was in the air only three hours. A strong wind carried it over Mount Lowe and across a range of mountains to Mount Gabriel.
 By sacrificing all the sand bags the balloon cleared its peak and passed on toward Strawberry Peak of the third range of the Sierra Madre Mountains. The balloon barely cleared this peak when the extreme cold caused. it to de- scend and the party landed safely on the north side of the mountain in a little canon at p. m- Saturday.
 The party wandered over the noun tainside until 1:3O Sunday afternoon, when they reached CoIby's ranch, far from any travelled road. Then the blizzard came on and the party were forced to remain at the ranch till Monday afternoon, when the storm broke.
 Then they set out and in a few hours reached SwitZerS Camp on horseback for Pasadena ten miles away.

LONDON MERCHANTS BlTiER
 AGAINST AMERICAN STORES
Especial from United Press.).

Especial from United Press.)
 London, March 4.-The invasion of London commercial trade by the American department store of H. G. S'elfridge. formerly connected Nikh the Marshall Field store in Chicago, has aroused a tremendous outcry among local merchants. The papers are us ing all sorts of arguments against Sel- fridge, charging that he eluded the English revenue by having the agree ment to take over the old company of Selfridge & Warning registered in Paris, where a twelve cent stamp was the only charge, instead of in Lon don, where a. fee of S5. 900 would have been assessed. It is also said that the directors of the new company have not yet recorded the fact that they are also shareholders. Selfridge is ac- cused of seeking all the advantages of the English market without accept ing any. of the duties and responsibili- ties imposed on British merchants.
 Despite the atts cks on Selfridge, his new department store is drawing tre- mendous crowds and the business exf ceeds the expectation of the owners. It is this fact that has emhittered ffe English merchants.
