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

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.

Much (,'eiierul comment was oc-
usluiied thruuKhuut the city y nt-rday
by the Interview with Attorney
Chiulcs II. 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." ,

SOME GOOD, HARD OPINIONS.
Mr. Mansur Talks of the Boer War
and the Lumber Business.
Mr L. Mansur. of the Knappton
lumber mills. 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."
