JAN, THE CHINESE .BOOTBLACK.
Astoria Is entitled to the distinction
of having the only known Chinese boot
black In Oregon. If not In-Amerka. His
nam I Sit Jan and his place of bus
iness Is at the Occident barber shop.
Hit Jan has piled his trade at the Oc
cident for eleven years and the way he
rxats a tattoo on rfi customer's back
would excite the envy of an Italian.
Jan has a modern "shiner" stand and
th moment you start to mount hi

swish from side to side and by the time
nu g.-t settled In hi chair his elbow
are shooting back and forth alternately
with the velocity of the piston rod of a
40-horse power engine a he bring out
the shine that defies competition. Out
side the ahop awing Jan'a sign, and it
I nothing more nor less than an old
boot polished as only Jan can polish.
To prevent dog a they paw along the
street from seeing their reflection in the
boot and engaging In a fight with
themselves, It 1 wung high out of
their reach. In hi humble calling Jan
Is accumulating ome means and only a
few days ago aent to hi native land a
check for $1100. Like most Chinamen.
Jan I a cousin of field Sack of Port

Another Mongolian rarity to thrill the

SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY.

made during the summer months to ac
comodate more pupils. When the
school term dosed In June great dlffi
culty was being experienced to And
room for all the children, on account of
the grading of classes.

Oregon Boxes
For The East
New Market Openintt for - the
. Fine Spruce Lumber of the
- Northwestern States.
A new field I developing for Oregon
hox lumber, and give promise of be
coming the greatest of all market for
the local product. Of late there ha
been a very pronounced scarcity of box
lum'wr In the eastern states, and in
quiries are coming to Pacific coast
point from many of the industrial cen
ter of the eastern portion of the coun
try. In. speaking of the matter yester
day B. J. Pye, superintendent of the
Clatsop Milt Company' box establish
ment, said:
"The demand for Oregon box lumber
that I beginning to come from the east
I evidence of the opening of a new field
for our spruce. The odorless classes of
lumber, such a used for packing butter
sugar and cereal foods, that absorb a
taint from pitchy wood, are fast giving
out, and Oregon spruce must take their
place.
. "There la also a growing scarcity of
cheap cottonwood lumber In the South
ern Vtt, and the prica ha recently
riven. This class of lumber la used ex
tensively in the manufacture of boxes.
and It rapid failure mean that oraer
for boxes will come to the coast, where
the spruce supply Is good. We are
now turning out some Eastern orders,
and I look to see a big increase in the
trade before long. . The start is only
nsw being made, and-prices are neces
sarily low; but, as the Eastern timber
supply "is almost exhausted, the market
must soon look to the coast for it box
es. The outlook for the box bulnes
via never so bright as now, and we are
rushed with work. Indeed, It Is Impos
sible for the Inoal mills to handle the
order that come in. The bulk of our
present trade Is with California, but
the scope of our field l widening."
ADMIRE OCR LOGS. V
Three prominent mlllmen were in the
city yesterday. They were C. H.
Davis and C. H. lvis.Jr., of Saginaw,
