CHARLES HEILBORN & SON
AbTOItlA'S LEADING IIOUSEKUflNIgllGUS
Rev, W. S. Grim, pastor of the First
Methodist church, received a call a few
days ago to take the pastorate of the
Methodist church In Mendota, III. Mr,
Grim's prompt reply was that the
"coast Is good enough for me." He
acted entirely Independently In the
matter, not referring the call to the
church board for action. He Is de
lighted with Astoria and Ita surround
ings, and said yesterday that he could
not entertain tho thought for a moment
of leaving here for th east, where the
extrtmea of heat and cold are In such
marked contrast to the Ideal local cli
mate. '
One of the prominent merchants of
tho city, whose representatives yes
terday had occasion to pay a visit to
tho dredge Chinook, came away from
the'veasel with the belief that she
would He at Astoria every night if
dockage facilities were provided. , To
moor the vessel at Fort Stevens dur
ing the night is a source of, endless on'
noyance to officers and men, who are
deprived of much of their liberty and
who find It Inconvenient to come to the
city. The circumstance necessitates
the transportation of provisions there
by small boat It Is, also pointed out
that there would be less trouble In
keeping men on the ship If she laid at
an aatorla .boat during the night The
hope waa expressed that the mtater
would be taken up anl a dock secured
for the big ship. It Is believed the
Chamber of Commerce can easily ar
range the matter. The advantage of
the vessel lying at the city during the
night Is obvious. ."jf
The first games in the three-men
team tournament at the Commercial
alleys were bowled last night Jones'
Japs finished best of the four teams
bowling, and starts off with three
games to Ita credit having defeated
Mathena'a aggregation. Stup'ps team
and Ralston's bunch broke even, each
team taking two games. The scores
by, games in the battle between the
Japs and Mathena'a men were: Japs
138, 1S7, 135 and 121; total, 651.
Mathena'a team 143. 109, and 119;
total. 487. The scores by games In the
Stupp-Rnlston contest were: Stupp's
team 97, 104, 133 and 164; total, 498.
Ralston's team 124. 115. 130 and 140;
total 609. The last, game between
Stupp'a and Rnlston'a teams waa very
exciting. Stupp's aggregation 'scoring
144, or more than 55 average per man.
Peterson's 62 was the best game of the
night while Jones' 193 was the best
four-gtme total. There Is great Inter
est In the tournament and the alleys
were crowded last night
this Intention was abandoned, because
the Aurella'a passengtr accommoda
tions were not as great as those of an
active competitor should be. Russell
It Rogers have lately launched at
Fureka the steamer Kllbourne, a oo
ton, IS-knot vessel, to be operated In
connection with tho company's elec
trlct road from San Francisco to Rog

Considering the very bad weather
last evening, there was a good attend
ance at the Catholic hall on Grand
avenue, the occasion being the Wash
ington day entertainment. O. C. Ful
ton was speaker" for the evening and
his hearers' were delighted with his ad
dress. He opened his remarks hv
dwelling upon the Maryland colony of
Catholics and the Ideas of civil and re
ligious liberty those early venturesome
home seekers promulgated. These
principles, Mr. Fulton pointed out
were later carried Into Virginia where.
100 years later, George Washington was
born. The address aerved to amuse
and Instruct by turns, and the audi
ence was sorry when Mr. Fulton sat
down. The entertainment was attend.
ed by tho members of C'uahlng post,
G. A. R, in a body, and the oll veter
ans evinced much Interest In the pro
gress of the program. Tho first num
ber on the program waa the Bong, 'Co
lumbia, the Gem of tho Ocean, sung
by a chorus of children's voices. This v
was followed by a violin solo, "H,elm
weh," by Dr. Friedrlch, accompanied
by Miss Madge Sovey. Then Frank
C&mahan sang the baritone song, "Ship
Ho," which was accompanied by Miss
Kelly. Washington's reply to the con
gratulatory letter of the Catholics
written by Bishop Carrol, waa read by
Miss Hilda Iirunold. i Miss Kathryn
Ehlvely delighted tho audience by re
citing "The Ride of Jennie McNlel."
Father Waters Introduced Mr. Fulton
to the audience with a few fitting re
marks.. The evening closed with tho

The council, at Ita meeting tomorrow
right will take final action on the
matter of the library appropriation. At
the last meeting the appropriation waa
provided for In the appropriations bill
There hHS been some talk of a deter
mlnatlon on the part of the members
of tho council to split up the money
at the next meeting and the ladles of
the library were somewhat anxious In
conneauence. However, there need be
no fear on this score. An Astorlan
man yesterday talked with several
members and all said they would stay
with the amendment agreed , upon at
the last meeting. Just how the story
started was not learned.
J, C. Swope has sold his paint shop
in Duane street to Earl Hansen who
will conduct the business In the future.
Mr. and Mra. gwope will locate In
Oakland, their Intention being to re
move there In a few duys. They are
not positive now tbrtt . they '. will per
manently reside In the California city,
but It Is certain that their home will
be there for an Indefinite period. Mr.
Hansen, who succeeds In Mr. Swope's
buaineBs, Is a well known Astorh
young man, and he has followed the
sign painting and house decorating
business for a number of years. Sign
painting is his specbilty, bolng thor
oughly acquainted with all the details
of the work. That he will succeed In
his trade Independently Is believed by
all who' know him and are at all ac
quainted with his ability

Captain Dunwoodle and the officers
of the revenue cutter Perry yesterday
entertained members of the Irving Club
aboard the cutter. , The visitors went
out In the Perry's launch about
o'clock and remained until 6, leaving
the vessel just as the sunset gun was
fired. Because of the fact that Cap
tain Dunwoodle attempted to put to
sea to the assistance of the crew of
the wrecked schooner Howe, the at
tendance was not as large at the re
ception as otherwise would have been
the case, and the Perry's unexpected
trip to the mouth of the river Inter
fered somewhat with arrangements.
However, the party boarded the cut
ter after her return from the bar and
waa royally entertained. The after
noon was passed In a purely Informal
manner. Anecdotes were related, some
excellent vocal music was listened to,
and the gentlemen enjoyed themselves
Immensely. An elaborate lunch was
served during the afternoon. Among
the Irving Club members present were:
G. C Fulton. George W. Sanborn, B.
Van Dusen. Captain Goodale, W. L.
Robb, H. I. Thing, Harrison Allen.
