The action Inaugurated a few days ago . by the employes of tho retail stores of Astoria to secure early clos ing hours, In conformity with the bust neaa hours observed In nearly all other cities on the coast, la meeting with auc cesa. Beginning tomorrow nearly every retail store, except drugstores, In As toria will close at 7:30 e.u-li evening during the week except on Saturdays. The following Is the petition being circulated by the employes: "As the retail merchants of the Paclflc coaat have adopted early closing hours, we, tho undersigned merchants of Astoria, do hereby agree to closo ojlr places of buslntfcs at 7:30 p. m., Saturdays excepted, commencing April 1, 1900, un til September 1, 1!00. And we also hereby agree to close during the winter months at 7 o'clock, Saturdays ex cepted, from September 1, 1900, to April 1, 1901.'' A special canvass of the grocery stores of the city yesterday resulted In the signing of the petition and agreement by all the leading merchants In that line. Merchants In other lines have already signed the agreement or Intimated their willingness to do so. The early closing of the stores docs not Inconvenience the publlo or Injure the trade ot the merchants, as has been shown In other cities, and it docs give the employes an extra hour or two each night for much needed rest and recreation.

Stricter Quarantine Regulations to Be Enforced by the City Authorities. The case of diphtheria recently quar antined by the city officials has, as is usual, awakened Interest In the new health regulations recently passed by the city council, part of which are now in effect and the remaining laws go Into effect tomorrow. In speaking of the matter last night City Physician Henderson tald; "It will b good service to the com munity If the Astorlana will call the attention of cltloena to the new laws passed by the council In regard to con tagious and Infectious diseases quar sntined and also In regard to the law requiring the reporting of births since City Recorder Nlaon hus raid he In tends to punish any Infractions of these luwa with a heavy line, "At the lust meeting of the council," continued Dr. Henderson, "an amend ment win passed to the old ordinance providing for tha quarantine of con tan I on and Infectious diseases. Un der the old law when a case of small pox, diphtheria, acarlet fever or other diseases of an Infectious or conatglous nature, were quarantined in a dwell ing or iMMMdlng house, the city pluced tv.o guards on duty at auch residence to prevent any one from entering or leaving the premise. Economy ren dered It necessary that the expense of this taw be cut down and the amend ment' passed doe away with the guards, but It subjects anyone enter ing or leaving an Infected house after It has been quarantined to a fine of not less than f SO nor more than $100. "Now, Judge Nelaon says," contin ued the city physician, "he will en force the payment of these fines In cases of convcltion or Impose the al ternative penalty provided in case of non-payment No good cltlsen wants to spread disease but many are thoughtless snd therefore If the Asto Man will call the attention of the peo ple to the new law and emphasise the fact It la to be enforced, It will be saving money and trouble for thought Icsa people. "In this connection ' I want to say another thing," said Dr. Henderson, "and that Is the citizens should see to the vaccination of their children. As la well known an epidemic of small pox In a mild form, generally, has been rsglng throughout Washington and Eastern Oregon for several months. The Oregon coaat cities have fortunately escaped the epidemic, ow ing to the quarantine measures adopt ed by cities between us and the seat of the disease. But it haa reached Portland, especially East Portland, I understand, and hence extra care on our part Is necessary. Parents should recognise the great value of having children vaccinated before the appear ance of the disease and If It never ap pears, why the little folks are safe guarded, In case they are vaccinated, wherever they go. "Now aa to the last law passed to which attention should be called." City Physician Henderson then went on to state: "The council haa made It a misdemeanor, punishable with a fine of $100 or 20 days' impris onnient. In case parents fail to report to City Recorder Nelson the birth of children to them. It la unnecessary to enter into a long explanation as to the necessity of this law being obeyed and enforced. The severity of the pen alty for disobedience of the law should show every cltixen that the law was passed for good reasons. It will be en forced, but we hope there will be no cases of disobedience to punish. "At present Aatorla Is healthy," con ttnued the doctor, "and we Intend keeping It that way." TO HAVE A STRONG TEAM. Wul Baseball Boys to Organise in Astoria Tonight. Astoria will enter the Northwestern Baseball League thla year with the atrongest team thla city haa ever of- ferrcd In competition, and in post years Astoria has not been the lost club out by considerable. The iM-organlsed or, as it Is now generally called, the New Astoria Ath letic Club, haa charge of the organi sation of the team. And right here It la well to mention that the aooner the word "new" Is dropped from the title- of the re-or-gantxod athletic club ot Astoria the better It will be for the club, as It is confusing to strangers, many thinking the club belongs to New Astoria In stead ot being a new athletic club of Astoria. But to return to baseball. The Northwestern League for 1900 will probably be composed of the Seattle, Tacoma, Astoria and Portland clubs, although clubs from other towns may be admitted If sufficient guarantees of paying games can be given the man agers of the clubs named. Tonight the members of the Athletlo Club of Astoria engaged In promoting baseball will hold a meeting at the engine house of No. 1 flro company. At this meeting, which will be executive, the manager for the coming season will be announced and the captain 6f the Aatorla team will probably be se lected. In other words, permanent or ganisation of the baseball club will be effected other than the final selection of the players. Astoria's athletes are all more or lesa lovers of the national game and the semi-rest some of the enthusiastic ball players have taken for vhe past year or two, has developed Into a return of the ball fever which, If the eym p toms shown In practice can bs relied upon, Is going to render It difficult to pick out the best men as between the old players and new candidates that hay "growed up" since the last or-1 ganlzed team was sent into the field. It Is gratifying to know, Vwaver, that all the bother will be In selecting the best among a host of good ones Instead of having to hunt hard through the players for men fit to fill the po sitions. All the boys are at practice almost every day and It will only be after a careful going over of the form shown In practice by the varloua play ers that the final selections for the league team will be made. Seattle, Tacoma and Portland are all ready for a revival of baseball pro viding good ball Is played, but one or two "yellow" games at the opening of tie season will queer the whole, enter prise. It Is for this reason the man agers of the clubs In the leag-'c are d- tenolncd to start right. It Is easy to keep right If once started that way and there will be no lack of patronage if good ball Is played. REUl'KI.VO OBSTRUCTIONISTS. Strong Statement In Defense of the Paul Mohr L'ne. The fight against the obstructionists to the portage road hus been taken up by the Lewiston Tribune and that pa per goes after the enemies of the en terprise rough-shod. In the course of a long editorial that Journal says: "The company la not asking one dol lar of subsidy, subscription or any other aid except a contract for freight at from 25 to 30 per cent below exist ing rates. Such men as Peyton, Tur ner, Gjaves, Wakefield and Harris are able to build their railway, boats snd barges without asking charity of any body, and the Spokesman-Review knows It. As the Times-Mountaineer has recently shown, after a personal investigation of every fact the Cen tral Navigation and Construction Com' pany haa already done work and bought equipments, or contracted for them, amounting to $7&(,000. It haa planned and is preparing to build branches and feeders costing In the ag gregate $360,000 more. It Is paying out nearly $40,000 a month at The Dalles. Us portage railway is almost com pleted and Its boats are being built, the largeat of them at Portland. And thank God! the Timea-Mountaineer can add, It already has freight con tracts enough for this season to make its portage railroad, boats and barges py a handsome profit from the first day It begins operations. Let every body take notice. The days of trans portation monopoly In this grand em- j plre of the Northwest are over." NOTICE TO REPUBLICAN DELE GATES TO TH3 COUNTY CON VENTION.
