Only a few matter of Importance will come before the mwtlng. The new Aatorla hotel, formerly the O'ltrlcn houac, waa opened to the pub lic on January 1, by mine hot Mr. Jack Dem-k. Blnce the recent Are the building h been renewed and reno. vated from top to bottom, and under lnk'a popular management will have an excellent patronage. The heuvy atorm that prevailed ye lenlny and laat night reaulted tn the crueatng of telephone wire, and con- nequnl difficulty In getting "central." The wind attained a high velocity and the ntrceta were almoat dmerted. More than 1 Inchea of rain fell during the 24 hour ending at t o'clock laat night. A elide occurred on the railroad lat night a abort dlatanca from Knappa, and the down train had not arlved at 1:S0 a. m. The extent of the slide waa not lenrned. Report received were that the train had been flagged and did not run Into the allde. There are only a few bad place on the line now, and Superintendent MoOuIre will have them out before the prevent winter la over. The following gentlemen won the two watche given by Herman Wlae, the re liable clother: Mr. Loula C. Hurtwlg, No. SIS. first watch; Mr, A. Q. Smith, No, 1112, second watch. Quite a few men were there considering the Inclem ent weather, and they blindfolded lit tle Fred Cordlner, who diew the num bers. , , The Astoria Iron Works la In receipt of an order from Warren, Pa., for a large quantity of cannery machinery. The order come from a gentleman who Intend establishing a cannery In Alas ka. The local Iron work ha built up aft enviable reputation for the excel lence of the cannery machinery turned out, and enjoy a practical monopoly of the business. ' A movement la on foot In thl city to establish a merchants' steamer for the Aatorla-IUvtico route, and the matter will bo brought before the Push club at It next meeting, on Wednesday night. The trade of llwaco and Chi nook Is well worth going after, and much more of it would com, thl way If bctfer transportation facilities were provldedi It Is purposed Yo put on a boat betweonlwacOjand Astoria And way points, the steamer leaving' ll vnieo In the morning and departing from Astoria during the afternoon. A moderate fare will be charged, and ev erything else possible dona, for tba ac commndutton of shoppers. The sue- cs of tb; Cathlame t ateaiajer" Jnuret thn success' of the propo3d now line to llwaco, and the suggestion Is favorably received tmong the merchant. At the regular meeting of the water commission held lns night the regular routine business was transacted and the payroll and bill for December or dered pald. The salary of T. R, Hujri; phrcps, keeper of the power house, was Increased from S2S to $30 monthly. The amount of $3000 was ordered transfer red from the general fund to the sink ing fund, In accordance with a pro vision which requires that 1 percent of the bonded Indebtedness shall be placed In the sinking fund every year. It was decided to lay a two-lrfch main from the upper service to supply the Taylor school house, , provldedt the school director comply with certain condition agreed upon by the commis sion. Meitrs. Clark and Buchanan were engaged to expert .the books and ac counts of th commission to the end of the year. This morning at I o'clock the seat sale open at Griffin book store for th performance of the laughable musl col farce comedy, "Th, , Irish Pawn brokers," Monday evening at Fisher' opera house. Among the special fea tures th oenlo and mechanical effect anil costume demand more than ordl nary comment, since they eclipse any thing of the kind yet seen' In furce comedy. A line of up to date special tics punctuates the course of the farce end tend additional charm to the per formance. In point of a talented com' pany, Munngor B pears has always kept faith with the public, and In this case the admirer of Irish ', farce comedy nifd have no m!apprehenon. Office of C.

M, . 4 ; Th 4ano glvan .at Fort SUvens New Year's eve was one of the moat aucreasful social functions ever held at the post. Tb party was arranged by the men of th Ninety-third and Thir ty-fourth artillery and was held In the mrsshouse, which had been prettltly decorated with flags and evergreens Handsomely engraved Invitations were sent out, and special trains were run from Astoria and Seaside, the attend ance being very large. Music ' was furnished by Portland orchestra, and during the evening supper was served Major and Mrs. Humphries led the grand march. The success of the ball reflected much credit on the men of the tao oomp.nles, whose arrangements were complete In very respect. The launch Sw.tn had an exciting experience In the lower hafbor Tours day afternoon and for a time It seemed thnt the little vessel would be wrecked. Captain John Reed, Engineer John ivMiru-y una Vlctr Host were on liourtl. A ale was blowing and the heavy sea 'threatened to swamp the laum h, but eventually she was tied up alongside the British ihlp Matterhorn When the return trip wa about to be undertaken It was found that the gaso line engine bad broken down, and It be. came necesnary for the three men to re main on board the Matterhorn during th bight. Yesterday the Swan was towed up to the city by the Wallula. While lying alongside the Matterhorn tl.e launch frequently crashed Into the ship's Iron sides, and but for the efforts of the ship's crew would have been dashed to pieces. ' The committee appointed by Prei dent Hansen at the last meeting of the council to recommend changes In the chirter ha been busily at work, and will submit Its report jtt the meeting to bo held on Monday nlgbt, The commit tee will recommend that all disbursing officials of the city be required to fur nish Winds In a surety company, and that the present system of accepting bonds from Individuals be abolished. It will also be recommended that the au ditor anl police Judge, chief of police and city treasurer be required to fur- nlHh complete statements to the council every three months; that persons de siring to register for city elections be required to produce a poll tax receipt, and that all special funds be abolished. At present there are many special funds, but, as the general fund Is real ly behind them, It Is deemed expedient to do away with the bookkeeping now entailed. The appointment of three pilot com missioners Is a matter that Is attract ing considerable attention among As toria democrats. Governor-elect Cham berlain assumes the duties of his office January 12, and within a short time thereafter he will name the' commis sioners. One of tlje three wlU reside In Portland and the sttherg In Astoria. The Portland commissioner Is said to have already been selected end. Cap tain J..C. Chmpbell of Astoria is re garded as another certainty., Captain Campbell Is said to be not over anxious for the appointment, but his familiarity with marine matters makes him a de sirable man for the plac the dsmo? crate believe, Therp are several other possibilities for tha other commission ershlp, but LeanJer Lebeck seems to be nmst generally favored. Leading demo crats say they themselves do not know Just who will be appointed, although all agree that Captain Campbell will re ceive an appointment If he can be pre vailed upon toaccept It.

' The emotional drama, "East Lynne, was performed . at Fishers last night by the Margarita Fischer com pany to an enraptured audience, for in spile of the bad waather thera was really an audience. East Lynne has been performed a few times already but the pathos and sentiment running through It are ever new. Last night was no exception, and local theater goers deeply regret the Inability of the Fischer aggregation to contlnu longer here than tonight, but a the company I billed to show In Hammond the pHaiure must be foregone. i ' V . 1 u .- ' r 1 L Among the many changes that have recently been made' In the service of the'O. R . ft N,ls the transfering of G W. Lounsberry, local representative of the company, to Pendleton, where It Is announced he will serve as ticket agent and asuUtant to the general agent at that place. Mr. Lounsberry baa been located In Astoria a number of years and his transfer comes as a surprise to hi wide circle of acquaintance here, While It Is reported that Mr. Louns berry has not as yet been officially noti fied of the change, the published re port has been authenticated sufficient ly to be recognised as genuine. His successor ha not been named. The machinery for the new Tallant- Orant cannery I now being manufac tured at the Astoria Iron work, and It I expected the cannery will be ready to begin operation with the beginning of the spring season. The result of the experiment of employing only white labor Is being awaited with Interest, as It has been many years since white labor was exclusively used In a salmon packing house. The experiment wa tried by the late Joseph Hume at Eagle Cliff, but resulted In failure, the em ploye committing one of the most vll lnlnous crimes ever perpetrated, be cause they disliked Mr. Hume' fore man. The cannery crew used then was picked up In Portland and waa com' prised largely of young toughs. It Is thought that whfte men will do the work quite a well as orientals, the growing scarcity of whom necessitates employment of other men, CHURCHES LUTHERAN (First) East Astoria All the usual services.

The average man's pessimistic views are due to the fact that he Is acquaint ed with himself. j The man who loves his neighbor and mind his own business never wanders far from the right path. to About all the use the average man ever makes of his ancestors Is to In herit weak traits from them. The reason ot so many failures in the world is because people fall to learn the difference between common sense and a gilt-edged dream. Many a man would have left bis foot prints upon time's eternal sands had he gotten his mother's slipper's at the proper time and place. If some people could talk as eleo quent while looking for a Job as they do when kicking about hard times they would always get a Job. Massachusetts has some very strange state to the penitentiary the other day, for stealing a pin It had a diamond on one end of It. to An aged woman's idea of a good hus band is a good provider. . She . has learned from experience that a pretty mustache and a smooth talker ' will never keep the wolf from the door. Most of the kicking done In this world Is done at the wrong person. When a man wants to kick he usually talks to every person he meets but the right one. If you must kick, why don't you hunt up the right one, and do your talking to him. '' " i ?
