Owing to changes being made j in the store early in the coming year, Christmas goods, toilet articles and. perfumery will be sold at a reductlon.tf Among the passengers arriving on the California steamer this morning was a celebrity known as Captain Carl Beach, . ."the' human, fish." Captain Beach comes to fill an engagement at the Unique theater. He exhibits him self in a huge crystal tank, In which under water, he reads, writes, eats and smokes. His performance is said to be remarkably Interesting. His engage ment begin tonight The heavy rains of late are creating havoc' with the late improvements to Birch street between Fifty-first and Flfty-saeond streets. Superintendent Kearney has a force of men employed in repairing the damage done. iThe same thing has occurred before and wll lllkely happen again. The Im provement is in the nature of a till nnfl k fast ns It Is reDlaced. the rain creates a volume of water that knocks things awry. The council last night adopted a res olution calling upon the public library to present to the council a list of the papers and periodicals taken by that Institution. The resolution specifies that the list be presented so' that the council may make such recommenda tions as it ees fit as to other books and papers. Mr. Burns, father of the resolution, said he wanted to know Just what could be found at the library, and thought the resolution the best means of securing the information. The fourth annual exhibit of cal endars will be given by the Young Men's Christian Association of the Capital City of the Old Dominion, January 1-15. Last year almost BOO calendars were received.

Original designs will be given special prominence. This annual ex hibit attracts large crowds. Our mer chants, manufacturers, insurance and banking interests should be repre sented. Send yours "On' to Rich mond." . -.' The Christmas day game between the Commercial Club and Cehemawa football teams will be the best i-ver played in this city, and there promises to be record-breaking attendance. The Indians met Multnomah last Saturday and were defeated 15-5. Charles H. Abereromble and Charles Stockton, of the Commercial team,, saw the game, which was characterized by consider able dirty work The local players say they believe Commercial Iwlll have no trouble in defeating the Indians, who gave Multnomah a close rub. The Christmas game will give football en thusiasts a line on the respective strength of the Commercial and Mult nomah teams, and, should Astoria win, the state championship will not rest between the teams. It is possible Commercial and Multnomah will come together this season in Portland. Leander Lebeck ,the contractor, has two boys that are being brought up in the right way. They have been endeavoring this year ,to make money for the purchase of Christmas pres ents, prefering to make It rather than to have it given them. Accordingly they asked their father If they could w11 some iron from a scrap pile In the possession of the : contractor, re ceiving an affirmative reply proceed ed to select a lot o fbolts, etc. Then came the question of finding a market In this they were assisted by their father, who proceeded to the black smith shop of Andrew? Asp and asked If there wai; a mantel mere iur wu lorn. Mr. Asp offered two cents a pound' for It.' i A wagon, was procured and a load of Iron taken to the shop, where the! two young financiers were each given a check for seven dollars, or thereabouts. Then they were taken to the Astoria National Bank where Mr. Asp does his banking, and after endorsing (heir checks, were given the amounts in silver. As they wended their way; homeward to report suc Ces to thsjlr mother, It would have been difficult to have found happier children anywhere. i ', The tickets for the entertainment at Fisher's' Opera house this evening un der the auspices of the Convent of the Holy Names were selling rapidly today, and the Indications are good for a well filled house. Astorians are fortunate when they patronize an entertainment given by home talent, and there is no lack of enthusiasm among them when a call is made to assist at an enter tainment of either a musical or literary nature; and especially Is true with ref erence to enteralnments given under thtj auspices of the Convent of the Holy Names. They are always of a high class in point of artistic merit, and every audience that the pupils of the institution have entertained so far has gone away delighted. That to be giv en this evening will not be any ex ception to the rule. A letter was recefved by Master Fish Warden Van Dusen today from Deputy Warden' Webster, who is doing the Washington state hatcheries.' Mr: Webster gives "probable outcomes" that vary somewhat from figures based on last year's previously given. He gives Kalama 6,128,000 (chlnook), Wind River 2,490,000 (chlnook), Wenatchee, 240,000 chlnooks and 2,680,000 silver- sides, Methow 1,260,000 (silversldes) . The letter explains that eggs taken at Wenatchee and Methow other than chlnook are sUverslde, none of them being either sockeye or blueback. The output for Chinook river for this seas on is known to be less than 2,000,000. In early estimates the Chinook, We natchee and Methow hatcheries were; given at 12,000,000. This error gave to the state nearly 6,000,000 more eggs than present conditions Indicate as be ing the real result. The couty court of Columbia County has just completed the purchase of a rock crusher and traction . engine for use on the county roads. The cost of the plant aggregates about $3000, and It Is planned to make some extensive road Improvements In Columbia coun ty during the coming year. Clatakanle road district is the first In the county to levy a special tax under the new law. Clatskanle's portion of the coun ty road fund had all been expended, and sohi'e of the thoroughfares were almost ImpassableRoad Supervisor E. S. Bryant called a meeting to vote a tax, and about 60 voters were pres ent Saturday night. The proposition to levy a 9-mlll tax carried by- a good majority. The Rainier road dis trict held a meeting, but the proposal to levy a 10-mIll tax was voted down. It Is not likely that any more road districts will vote special taxes this year, but will depend on the county court making sufficient levy to answer all purposes. The Ilwaco football players are not very well pleased over the refusal of the Astoria men to give them a return match, and they have organized an as soclation team which will play Its first match on Sunday next against a picked team from Fossil, Condon, Heppner and other eastern Oregon towns. The men who are to be pitted against the Ilwacos are all old country players of experience, and, as Ilwaco has at least eight or nine first class association men, including 'Jack, Wilson, one. of the best captains and .coaches that ever handled a team at the association garde, ,the' coming corteBt should be a good one. Referring to the refusal of the Astorians to give them a return match, one of the Ilwaco men says: "Considering, that. In order to avoid disappointing the Astorians we played with four of the team missing, their places' being supplied by 'kids,' the deal was a raw one, but we will not complain. We were willing that a re turn match should be played either on our side of the river or at Asorla, all we wanted being; the opportunity to show that' we could do better than we did with a- partial team, and think that we were entitled to that courtesy." First citizenship papers were grant ed today to Gustav Ottosen, a native of Norway. ' Schilling's Best mustard la pure, if anyone wants it ; make your own compound.
