Mrs. IIlRglns and Mrs. Cherry composed the latest party to enjoy Urook field and the delicious brtnkfust and luncheon provided by the elltclent "chef" of the Megler "cuisine." Astoria has been called "mussback" for the last time. So long as sho can boiiht of twenty-four such bright and up-to-date young ladles, that name can never be her's again. On Thursday evening these young ladles gave a most charming and delightful party, and not a man there. Twelve young Indies In immaculate evening dress, black dress skirts, swallow-tall coats evening vest, shirt and tlo, silk hats, Derby hats, box overcoats, etc, es corted twelve young ladles In lovely evening gowns , to Page's hall. The roll of carriages In party style made FreiMie. the five-year-old son of Mrs. Om Ik. a Finnish widow woman resid ing M pin A "tor street, wns run over ly it street dir near No, 1 engine house and hurrllily mangled yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. It Is re luiiiK.ilile that the boy was nut killed ojliighl. As It was he was picked up and taken V Ms home where Ir. Hen .iil'Hon attended him. The little fellow was playing with several cimpnnluns at the puint where the accident occurred, As the tar an pru.iched lie endeavored lo rush across the track about ten feet ahead of It, but stumbled and fell across the i inli. hi rail. The wheels of the car struck blm In the region of the thighs, fun Iiik the Ixidy along the track a dis tance of several feel when the car was I'ro'iKht to a standstill. It was neces sary to lift tho car clear In order that th body might bo exlracated. V liep Dr. Henderson examined the llttie fellow at his home. It was found tint both legs bad been terribly iiiiiiiei nmr the body, the bones In thu b it leg being cruhed In several places The flesh and muscles of th 1 rlfc-M b had been laid completely bare aln- ist lo the knee. The body was split several Inches up the back and abdomen, exposing the bladder and n lnlib nliiK irnns to full view. Severe bruises were sustained about the head and body, the light side of the lo.vcr Jaw being badly fractured. It M reniurkable Hint the unfortu nate boy could survive suoh a shock cv.it for a few moments, but the case becomes astounding almost beyond be lief ,vhen It I stated that the gritty little .'.-How even talked w ith Dr. Hen derson, answering quite Intelligently several questions concerning the acci dent. It Is doubtful If a more striking Instance of remnrknble vitality ever was brought to the attention of a physli Inn. W hen seen by an Astorinn reporter last night Dr. Henderson said he did not believe the boy could survive th. mu'ht, allh.uigh, In view of the great vitality already shown, such might be the ense. Should death not end the llttlo fellow's sufferings by this fore noon. nr. iienuerson win can in otnr phyulcinns for consultation, and if it Is believed the patient can survive th? operation, the left leg will be ampu tated an! the wounds thoroughly dressed. LATEK At a late hour lust night Dr. Henderson called at the Astorlan ofllcu and stated that little Freddie had died from his Injuries. OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE Reply to Contentions of tbe Remonstrants.

Page, on the "three-roads" proposition published in the Murnln Asturian. Mr. Puki's clear and forci ble presentation of Uie pisition taken by the opposition to the measure calls forth renewed arguimnt un the Oi -r side, the substance of which Is partly embodied In an Interview obtained by an Astorluu reporter with a K' ntleman reprepeiiilng one of the largest busl ne( concerns In the city. The gentlu nins name Is withheld b reiuest. Toe argument, h iwcver, rifl els the views of the petitioners g-nerally so that the mission is Immaterial. Said he: "A few of our people seem to doubt the 'luestlun whether the money, which is to be spent upon roads In this coun ty, will br.iu, c.en In lime, an ade quate return to warrant the expense. A few even seem to doubt the necessity of any louiin at ull: and some sugg-st thai lhos who want roads should budd Iht m themselves; If the farmer wants thorn b t blm pay fur them. "While sume npson (?) thus, as Is shown by the remonstrance to the road, peil-lon, It Is irratfylnK t0 Ilfjt? ,hai toe vast majority of our people have shown that thev are willing to aid l.j the uplifting of our entire county, and to secure Its piosrerlty, nouby a pro cess of nrtllUlal 'booming', tut by nuiurnl stimulation nnd growth. They are wMli.g to bvar the expense. "To better understand the position of Chi'Mop county let nie quote you an extract from the report of .mr consul at O-nevu. He mukes h(Jme Btartllng statement for he says it Is estimated the t :iln(e the first of Janiary, up to la.it November no less than ?0,WW tourists have visited Switzer land, and mat they. have left in the coiinry nn average of V) francs (He 14) or a total of ;:8,Go0,000. Inas much as the population of Swit rei!nd U nly 2.KS.T,V0, It is t ot dim cult, tc appreciate the s cutl, nne ,.f these figures. The per laplta wca'th ' of the country has heretofore been es-1 tuiaU-fi al Hi but the Influx of money above referred to suddenly brings It! up lo l.'9.4o, or from one (if the poorest countries (per capita) to one of th? richest. This at least would appear to be tne rtsult on paper; but as a matter of fact, thy consul suys, the sudden In- nuse of the country's wealth Is not so great as the flg-ures would Indicate, for tilt reason that Switzerland buys nearly everything she sells to tourists, including the supplies for the hotels and beardiiig-houses. and therefnro. i while a great deal of money comes In to the country, a large proportion ot :t has to be paid out. 'Now, our situation is much the Mine-. ,. nave pietny ot money coii.lng In from salmon nnd lumber; but too much of It goes out again tt make here an accumulation of weauu. The shtinkuge In the cannery business unites this situation plainer every day. If in coming years income from the source of fisheries should diminish very mucn, would it not be very d?slrable to have our county cultivated, and studded with paying farms? Farm products are everywhere and always in demand. People must eat "Again, consfd.T this point. Efforts are constantly made to bring manu facturing establishments here, even by ottering cush Inducements. Yet, many do not seern to think thnt farms are manufacturing concerns. Who ever heard of offering cash inducements for the farmer to locate? "Hut many more of such manufac tory might be located here, Hnd those hen; can be made more profitable. This can be done by a cash Inducement, in the shape of taxes for making good roads. . . "Much Is said lately against trusts and combines. Is it not clear that good roads will enable us to combat their Inlluence? At least It Is clear that bad roads help tho trusts. What the f il'ure of crops Is bringing 'about in tho "corn belt country," via: the monopolization of lands, tho failure of wai;on roads Is bringing about here. Tho farms are abandoned, or soon must be, and will be left only to be 'gohbled up' by timber speculators. Think what this will mean as time goei ou." , 'j uuiTUoCiVuue'iini . . iu THE LARGEST STOCK TO PICK FROM WHAT WE SiV WE'LL DO we CO DO Highly Satisfactory OUR CLEARANCE SALE Is satisfactory to our customsrs and to us.

Is In the city on business. Mr. Mansur Btates tha.t the Knappton mills are doing a splendid business, en.idoying 60 men. The Knappton lumberman expressed keen Intesest In the proceedings in South Africa and .vhen asked what effect he thought the war would have on business in this country, replied: "Oi. the face of things one would naturally think the war In Africa would be of great benefit to we Amer icans, but I am not of this opinion. It is true that we are selling war ma terials to some extent and a big de mand for wheat, canned meats, etc., Is created, but there is a bint of Eng lish capital Invested in this country and more is constantly seeking invest ment. The war has practically cut off further investments and many Eng lishmen will be drawing down their money and taking it home If matters gro v any worse. The stock market reports prove my conclusions to be correct. As to my sympathies, they are with the English, of course. The Eng lish people are progressive and went into a neglected country, Investing their capital and building it up. Civil ization must and will advance and the Boers will ultimately go down. England's power lies In peace, but she has undertaken a war which I believe will result In good to herself and the world at large. "What do I think of business? Well, I'll give it to you as my candid opinion that the United States has never seen a more prosperous year than that just closed and I believe the present year will be still better. Last year we did more business in lumber than the year before and this year we fully exepct to eclipse the business of last year that is, If -we can secure needed extra machinery. The trouble Is that all the saw factories are so busy that we can't get an order filled short of four months and we're lucky to do that." COLUMBIA STEAM LAUNDRY CORNER NINTH AND AST0R STS-.
