The literary society of the Epworth Leas oo gave an interesting entertain ment last evening at the Methodist church, Recitations and vocal num bers were the leading features, but deserving of special mention was the reading of the new ofTUiul paper of the league, "The Epworthlan." A large crowd was present and the affair was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mr. McDonnell, of the (Irm of McAl len & McDonnell, formerly one of the leading drygooda firms of Astoria, has not yet 'returned from his trip to East ern Oregon. Mr. McDonnell Informed an Astoriun representative Just before his departure that his trip would be somewhat protracted. He stated that It waa hla firm', purpose to discontinue their atore in Abtorlo, and It Is con jectured that Mr. McDonnell may not return until he hna settled the ques tion of a new location. It la rumored that the old stand of the Osgood Clothing Co., adjoining Qtiitln & Reed's, and now used as a lit tle general store for cheap trade, will be vncnted shortly, tho present occu punt either Intending to go out of btiHlness or remove his goods to some other section of the state. This will present a rare opportunity for some enterprising firm or Individual to es tablish a flrst-clasa business. The store-room In question, la one of the best locutions In Astorlo, and should bo used In a way that will be credit able to that section of the business dis trict. It la with no .mall degree of regret that the many friends of Mr. W. A. Sherman of the Pacific Sheet Metal Works will Inurn of hi transfwr to the Xan Francisco office of the rompany. for which post he will leava some time during the "alter part of the week. Mr. Sherman has been rvlng as chief ai sountant at the local ofllce for a long time. He has Identified himself with the chief comim-rclal and social organi sation of the city and has been one of the most active member. In every organization to which he belong. In' deed, hi activity has been such that he will be greatly missed from the community. The transfer Is In the na ture of a promotion and Aatorluns gen erally extend to htm their heartiest congratulations. A dispatch was received by the As toriun yesterday from (lardlner, stat ing that the nsptha launch lln&i had arrived at that place from Astoria on the 1'ilh. She wo In charge of CapUIn Chris. Ahues, with Al. Ross as engineer. It wo a renurkuble trip for such a craft as the llusel and her owner, are truch pleased that the Journey was made without mishaps of any kind. The only trip of the kind rjorted to hive tuken place from this port was mndi: by the steam launch Sen Foam, with '.'aptnln Conn In churge, when she made the trip to the Sound some time ago. ,The Sea Foam Is a very small craft slid her side rails were burely six Inches above the wa'.er. Cap UIn Conn. run Into a strong nor-wes-ter shortly after leaving the mouth of the Columbia and had a most perilous Ji.urrey, the Sea Foam being buffeted about for over it hou,- before reach ing Destruction Island, A'hcre an extra supply of fuel and water was put on bofird. The Hazel will be used by Warren V. Rcd In connection with hi. creamery buclncM t-n the Umpqua. She wM formerly employed n connec tion with the creamery business at Tp? Dalles. Mr. A. Dunbar, of the A. Dunbar Company, went to Portland last even ing to compkt" arrungement for the large and exceptionally flue tock: of spring goods that popular house will pine on sale within a few days. C. H. Cooper, It Is also understood, con templates a large addition of season able goods and novelties In the early future, while the "lUe Hive," another one of Astoria's best and most repre sentative atores. Is nuiklna greater preparations than ever for the In creased trade whh h It I felt the Im proved prospects of the city now prac tically Insures. These three establish ments comprise the only flrst-closs houses In their lines to be found In Astoria. It may be fairly doubted If uny other town In Oregon, outside of Portland, can boast of even one .tore that carries so lurt and varied a stock of goods as Is carried by each one of the Astoria houses mentioned. It Is not too much to say thut through their large stocks, kept conntunUy replen ished, and enabling them to sell the bet goods at prices asked elsewhere for cheap, shoddy,, auction goods, to gether with the most courteous dealing and strict Integrity of representations as to quality of every article sold, these three stores are supplying pretty much all the demand now existing or which Is apt to exist for some time In Astoria. While the stocks of other stores have been allowed to run down, or the expedient has been resorted to, In order to keep up appearances, of purchasing ancient and shop-worn or tides at sheriffs' sales In Portlund and elsewhere, these three great leading houses have continued to buy direct from manufacturers and their counters ami shelves have been kept constantly loaded with the Intest and best articles to be found In tny metropolitan de partment Mtore In any section of the country. GOINQ TO THE DALLES. Tush Club Takes Action Relative to the Proposed Excursion. At the meeting of the Push club lost night a committee waa appointed to confer with a similar committee re cently appointed by the chamber of commerce to arrange for an excursion to The Dalles on the 26th Inst. The committee named consists of C. W, Carnahun, John N. Grimn, A. Seller neckau, The excursion Is being ar ranged for ' the purpose of having a day of ifood-fellowahlp with the enter prising people of The Dalles and to acquaint tho Astortans with the Faul Mohr enterprise, as well a. to arrive at some general understanding a. to what encouragement should be offered. Mr. Carnahan stated that he and other member, of the club had succeeded In securing the promises of fifty persons to go on tho excursion. This Is, In deed, enterprising work, as It waa not expected that the club would take steps In this direction until after last night', meeting. The chamber of commerce committee will no doubt secure an equal number of pledges, and those who have already promised, together with the number of others who will go, to be In the swim and want a good time, will make the trip to The Dalles a gala event. Arrangements for a Bteamer will no doubt be made within a very few days. Members of both commercial organizations are enthus iastic over the matter and If the con tagion continues the excursion will ex ceed, by far, all expectations In point of numbers and general magnitude. A communication was received from W. S. Muslck, of Sprliib'fleld, Mo., In quiring as to the opportunities offered for the establishment of a business col lege In this city. Harrison Allen reported recommen dations to the effect that the meeting nights of the club be changed from every Monday evening to two Thurs day evening a month either the first and third or the second and fourth. This was done in order that several of the members of the olub, who are also members of the chamber of com merce, might attend the meetings of both organisations. COUNCIL FAVORS BOUNTY OH RATS Ordiaasce Introiacd Provlllnj for Five Cents Per Rodent. MORESTREET YYORKQRbERED Goddard Suggests That Street Coa tractors Be Allowed ta Cool Off-Claims Allowed. It has been practically decided by the city coumil to offer a bounty of five cent i r head for all rat caught and delivered to the chief of police within the next thirty day. At the regular meeting held last night an ordinance was Introduced appropriating X'Jt from the city treasury to defray the demands for the bounties. It waa stipulated, however, that the rats must be caught la traps and not poisoned. The fund I to be placed at the disposition of the chief of police, to whom all lata must be delivered, and those deliver In the rodent, to that olflcer will re ceive an order for the amount due, The chief of police Is to have discre tionary power as to the validity of all claim. Provision Is also made that the rodent, must be destroyed by fire, A special meeting of the council will be held this evening for the pyrjXj of pushing the measure to, final passage, a. no ordinance appropriating money from the city treasury can be Introduc ed and passed at the same meeting. The couiHllilb-rt Appreciate the jseces slty of Immediate precautionary meas ures to prevent the possible appear ance of :he bubonic plague in this city, henc; the di termination to lose no time in putting the bounty In Imme diate operation by callln? a tpeclal meeting. The city board of health mad? a rec ommendation that a bounty of two cents be paid for an Indefinite period but this was not acted upon turiher than to be filed In the regular way. It I understood that the 1,0 proposition was the only one of muny upon whlcjt a unanimous action of the eouncilmen could be secured, a variety of fixed opinion existing as to the advisability of offering the bounty a - !he condi tions donning the expenditure of the fund. Another ordhiunce relative ti precau tionary methods of preventing the plague was passed regulating the land ing of vessels here from Infected ports. It empowem the city authorities to pre vent the landing at any of the city docks of all vessels believed to be In fected and orders that, should evidence of the disease be found to exist afier such landing Is made, the city officers may compel the vessels to receive again such part of her cargo as has already been discharged and proceed to the quarantine grounds. War vessels of the United State are exempted from the provision of his ordinance. An ordinance was Introduced estab lishing the grade on Thirty-eighth stN-et from the south line of Duane street to the south side of Harrison avenue. An ordinance was Introduced with a lew to preventing any Interference, by cutting or otherwise, with the elec tric wire tnd gas pipe In the i-y, Imposing a line of not less than 3 nor more than $"0 or Imprisonment for a term of not more than twenty-five days. Objection was raised to his or dinance, a It was contended that In many Instances, such as moving and repairing houses, etc., It would be nec-ei-sary frequently to Interfere with both the wire and the pipes. It wa suggested that It would be wiser to giye the stre;t committee discretionary power In the matter and on a vote of five to three action waa deferred till the next reg.'lar meeting. The ordi nance waa conceived In response to a determination to discontinue the pos sibility of flrj wiYch coull easily be caused by tho tampering with wire. Councilman UUlnger offered a reso lution, which waa carried, to improve Ninth street from the north side of Bond street to the south side of A tor street. Councilman Goddard ob jected to the resolution, Daslng his opposition on the statement that the city waa already having a large amount of work done, that the contractor were busy and, as a result, the cost to the city waa much higher than It would be later on when less work waa being done and competition for con tract wa more keen. Goddard stated that the work now being done on Franklin avenue Is costing the city much more than has ever before been paid In the history of the city, one block alone costing 21,950. He thought the city should go slow so as to al low the contractor to cool off a bit. After that, he said, he was in favor of every Improvement that should be found necessary. The vote resulted In five In favor and two against. A resolution for the improvement of Fifteenth street from the south line of Exchange street to the north side of Irving avenue, excepting crossings, was carried by the same vote as was the preceding measure. Petitions for retail liquor licenses were presented by Nelson Hursey and Owens & Carson. Retail liquor 11 canses were granted to Peter Dourel, August Eiickson aud Owens & Carson. A petition wa received signed by forty teamsters In he city, asking that the council take Immediate steps to Improve Grand avenue between Fourth and Seventeenth treets. It wa repre sent that the street wa. In such a bad eondltlon that It wa almot Im poairinia to haul heavy load over It. The-petition wo referred to the street committee.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. . Captain of the Llla and Mattle Cannot Be Found. Vp to midnight no trace had yet been discovered of Captain Alex. Olsen, the missing master of he chooner Llla and Mattle, which recently went aground and I now lying bottom up In Tillamook bay. The captain wo seen in Astoria Pat urday. the police ay, and wis to have left for San Francisco on the State of CallforBU yesterday. He did not put In an appearance and, upon a fctate ment from the schooner's cool:, who was to accompany him, the poll?e Im mediately Instituted a search. It wa thought Captain Olsen might have gone to Portland and taken the train outh, but this waa deemed Improba ble, a he left his baggage at the Aitor house, where he had been stopping. The polke do not suspect foul play and are therefore mystified. The captain has a wife living. It Is understood. In San Francisco. COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON. The firm of Delafleld, McGovern Co., have addressed a circular to their agents handling Columbia river salmon In which some statements are male relative to the character and purpose of the Columbia River Packer Asso ciation w hich w ill be of much local In terest. The circular. In part, reads a follows: We have recently been appointed the sole agents for the Columbia River Packers Association, and are now mak ing arrangements with broker and sub-agent to handle the brands which they have hitherto been selling In their respective territories. The Columbia River Packer Asso ciatlon is not a trust, but a consolida tion of some of he best cannery plants on the Columbia river, organized, to some extent, on co-operative line. A considerable part of the necessary capital was Invested by wholesale gro cers and others Interested In the sale and distribution of this product; the stock Is also held largely by experienc ed packers, as well as by ome fishermen on the Columbia river. It Is the desire and aim of the as sociation to extend the distribution of the stock In both of these channels so a to eventually make a purely co operative concern. The increasing demand for Columbia river salmon, admittedly the best ob tainable from any source, and the lim ited supply available for canning pur poses, rendered an organisation con ducted on economical lines absolutely necessary to the life of this industry, not alone with a view of keeping the price of the canned product at a point where It would not be considered a luxury, but as well for the purpose of maintaining the supply by propo gatton If It Is found necessary to in crease the hatcheries beyond what I now being done by the national and state government. The association alma particularly to maintain a high standard of quality and to have a uni formity In this respect that can be ab solutely depended upon. Order are being entered now subject to the terms and prices to be fixed shortly after the opening of the Ashing season, and are not to be binding until these conditions are announced and are accepted. The association, owning canneries and fish stations all along the river, is In a position to make shipments as early as usual, even If the run of fish should be light, as Is expected. SOLFIUNE.
