Art Treasurer Here

Almost BY accident, coupled with
the grace Of friend, reporter for
the Morning As,orian, yesterday
made the delightful discovery of a
pair Of paintings executed by the
great Gainsborough, and both prob.
ably done in the earlier years Of the
18th century, hanging on the walls
Of one Of Astoria's cory homes. They
have been in the family Of the lady
Of the house for close upon half q
century and are highly valued as art
treasures german to great day
and greater artist The presump'
tive value Of the two is away up in
the thousands, and they are un.
doubtedIy genuine. Both are pic,
lures of children, one Of the beggaT
class, the other Of the farm, and botl
are wonderfully brilliant in color and
the drawing Is perfect. II was :

scrutiny of the masterpieces accord

cept at formal session, and can't
even do 30 al the meeting when the
license Is asked for But that would
take too long. The "Owl" must be
kept open II was kept open.
The two men said the chairman
Of the committee on police and health
OF the council, had given them per
mission" TO stay open pending the
time when the council would regu.
larily grant them their license. The
police permitted them to stay open.
OF course no one had any right to
tell them to stay open. Councilman
Schmidt, who Is also a member Of
this committee, condemned the ac.
ton in the strongest terms yester-
day, and his indignant was said to
have been echoed by Councilman
Fox, who Is also member Of the
committee, Finally, the city attor-
ney. Mr.. Abcrcrombie, was also APP
pealed to by those who we're trying
to help the two saloon men, and he
promptly squealched them, also
Then II was that the acting chief Of
police finally closed the place up.
Why any one thought the plain
terms OF the city laws could be rid
den around and made ridiculous
merely TO help out two saloon men
who had just been telling how they
we're running a saloon which they
had no right to run, and how they
had sold liquor 70 a boy, doesn't
seem very clear. Also il might have
appeared to be a matter OF reason
able doubt that the council would
grant license to two men who had
| just come out OF the police court in a
case wherein the license under which
they were wrongfully operating was
taken from them and revoked.
II looks as il the councilman who
told them to stay open, perhaps II
generous desire to help some
body ont Of a hole, had his good ma
ture imposed upon; and Of course
that is likely to happen to any mar
once in a while.

to the west brought them directly
in front Of the on-coming steamer
instead Of passing to the rear Of the
Kern.
The testimony at the time Of the
inquest was not entirely clear on
this point and was partially denied,
though the boatpuller, because Of his
lack Of familiarity with the English
language, perhaps did not really un-
derstand the importance Of his tes-
timony.
The complaint alleges negligence
on the part Of the steamboat men.
The case promises to be Of much In
terest for the reason that an effort
will be made to clearly define the re-
spective rights Of sailing boats and
vessels impelled by steam or other
power The general rule Of the law
is that steamers, because they can
stop, back, and handle themselves
with much more ease thatn the
sailing vessels, are bound to exercise
much more caution than the other
class Of boats. This rule has often
been enforced. but whether il can be
made to apply in this case remains
Of course, to be seen; and il the
defendant company can show con-
tributory negligence on the part ol
the men in the sailing boat the action
stands to be defeated Attorney Nc
CHM Of Portland has wide rsputa
ton as jury lawyer, and his serv
ices in conjunction with the Smitf
Brothers would indicate that the cas-
viii be pressed hard.

SUIT FILED AGAINST
STEAMER OWNERS
DAMAGES IN SUM OF $500 rs
ASKED FOR FISHERMANs
DEATH.

Suit was fled in the circuit court
yesterday wherein Josua Tarkiainen,
as administrator OF the estate Of
Henry Tarkiainen, deceased, seeks to
recover damages In the sum Of $500
from the Columbia Contract Com
pany OF Portland, owners Of the
steamer Daniel Kern
Henry Tarkiainen lost his life last
May while out fishing as result Of
his fishing boat being run down by
the Daniel Kern, and the present ac-
ton alleges negligence on the part Of
those operating the steamer Short

ner's jury was empanneled and con-

cd of bleaching and drying those
grains is the prospective result OF
extensive experiments by the govern
ment and individuals. which have
now reached a point of practical sue
cess This interesting estimate of the
value of a process available by grain
dealers and large farmers the coun.
try over was arrived at by compu
tation upon the crop of 1907 of those
three cereals, which amounted to
3,295 253 900 bushels, to which an
added value to grain buyers of 2 to
cents per bushel by improved grade
will be given by a cheap process to
improve the grade. 1t was not the
government this time, but an indiv-
idual, H. p Arnold. local expert,
In grain handling, who has solved
this problem and put into practical
operation in South Chicago pro-
cess which seems likely to deprive
the big elevator companies OF the
cities of their presen; profit for dry
ing and bleaching corn and oats for
market and make that operdtion
practical in the smaller elevators
throughout the country. For several
years the department of agriculture
has been at work on the problem
of the grading and Standardization Of
grain. In addition to the laboratories
at Baltimore and New Orleans, new
laboratories have recently been es-
tabliShed at Minneapolis, Duluth, St
louis and New York. Here elaborate
Tets have been made in the efforts
to devise better means for bringing
grain up to standard and making
farm products more valuable after
they have been harvested Like the
split log road drag and some other
devices of small cost that have put
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
to the pockets of farmers in the last
few years, the process Is perfectly
simple once It was discovered, and
the cost of construction trifling COM
pared with present methods or the
saving involved Meanwhile the work
OF the government laboratories Is
being continued and should lead. ac-
cording TO Secretary Wilson's last

vices to aid the farmer and the ele-
vator man in Strengthening out some
OF the other unsatisfactory conditions
