HEILBORN 4 SON Astoria's Leading House-furnishers The funeral of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. O'Brien was held Bunday afternoon from the family res idence In the east end. The services were conducted by Father Waters. The Interment was in Greenwood cemetery. J, Hal Stahi; who has been confined to his room In St. Mary's hospital for the fast week, was able to take a short walk out of doors yesterday and will be able to resume his "sit" at the Mer genthaler In the Astorlan office within a day or two. A union meeting of the down town churches was held on Sunday even ing In the Presbyterian church, and was addressed by Rev. 3. H. Lei per, secretary of the Northwest Sabbath Observance Association, wha delivered a loglcan and earnest address to a Irge audience on the subject of Sabbath observance. The mill to be operated In the west nd of the city by the Astoria Lumber Company will be In operation In about nix weeks. Already most of the ma chlnery Is on hand, last week the boil ers were placed and the smokestacks have been raised. The new mill will be an Important acquisition to the In dustrial life of the section most vital- ly Interested and the residents there tntlclpate that the operation of the tlant will mean much to them. A daughter was born yesterday to the wife of Chin Ye Sing, the Chinese tnlinr on Commercial street. Accord. Ins; to Chinese custom a celebration will be held this evening In honor of the new arrival. Mr. Chin Is one of the best known and the most popular Chinese business men In the city. His two little boys and little daughter are regular attendants at the public schools and are noted for the rapid progress they make In their studies; The performance proved such a popu lar one that a second night of It was demanded and allowed. The library ladles Intend that the forthcoming production of "Belha2zar"snall be the very best show of the kind ever given In the city. Already msny have sig nified their Intention of taking part in the opera, wo It Is not anticipated that there will be dearth ot singers. At the practice tomorrow evening a good attendance is urged. The Clatsop county teachers Insti tute will be held In this city on April 77, 2R and 29. City superintendent Clark will preside at the sessions in the absence of County Superintendent Lyman. There will be an unusual strong teaching force In attendance and the meetings are expected to be of much value to those who attend. Besides all the teachers in the county, leading educators from over the state will be present. Among the latter will be State Superintendent Acker man. The program will be made out an printed the latter part of this week when a more definite announce ment concerning the work to be un dertaken will be mads. By virtue of being the lowest bidder Portland Is entitled to furnish Uncle gam with 254 ions of oats. Bids open Saturday at Seattle, San Francisco and Portland for the grain show the figures tendered by W. J. Burns which were 11.84 per 100 for 250 tons of white oats, or 128.80 a ton, are lower than those received from either Seat tle, Tocoma or San Francisco dealers. Prices "on hay at the Bay City are slightly under those of Portland, but when It Is taken Into consideration, as was the case when the lout bids were called for, the superior quality of the Webfoot grass, makes it a less expen sive article to the government, the In ducements are on Portland's side. Puget Sound hay Is even less than the California product, and It is said to be of purer grade correspondingly Fred Muller of this city and Tom Itellly, a Lewlston man, met at Lew imon Inst night in a flght scheduled for 20 rounds. At the end of the fifth Mr, Muller was practically out of business so the decision was given to the other fellow. Muller was no where during the fight, his opponent putting it all over him with perfect ease. Up to date the Astoria man has made a poor showing, so the bout he has suggested with Guns, the fierce fighting negro, is farther oft , than ever. - A force of men was put to work yesterday cleaning out the city reser voirs. The water was turned oft Sunday and the supply on hand was allowed to escape. An interesting circumstance in connection with the work being done are the observations being made by the fish warden's de partment relative to the experiment to ascertain If salmon will develop In the fresh water. It was found upon Investigation yesterday that salmon placed In the reservoir two years ago have attained a growth of only 12 or 14 Inches, which would Indicate that their grow.th has been stunted.- A large number of trout were found to be in a thriving condition, and a pe culiar red rimmed head fish known as the ballcod, was noticed. The trout doubtless come from the headwaters, being carried through the pipes. The clay at the bottom of the big reservoir was found about a foot .thick, while on the sides -he thickness was about two inches. The work of cleaning will be completed today. All those who are going to take part In the production" of the sacred opera "Belshastar" are requested to meet at the opera house at 7.30 o'clock tomor. row evening at which time the first heheorsal will be held. It was the In tention of the ladlea who have the matter in hand to hold a rehearsal last evening at the Episcopal church reach the city this plan fell through. Mr. Robinson was detained at Aber At a meeting of the committee of ten lost evening it was decided that a meeting of the owners of tide wash ed lands along the city's front would be held as soon as the definite views of the heaviest property owners could e secured. It developed at last night's meeting that fully St per cent of the property holders have" been hirit from, and that only a small number, possibly 6 per ceaf, are op posed to the plan. While this oppo sition seems to be emphatic the reas ons for It ore clearer to' the opposers than to the committee. The object Ions will doubtless be made clear at the forthcoming meeting at which time effrot will be made to bring Into line the would-be obstructionists. The objection shown thus far n no wise daunts the committee, the mem bers of which will redouble their ef forts from now on to return a favor able reprt.

WHEBITY, RALSTON & CO. Speculating In salmon Is besel With some chances, whatever the nature of the transaction. This was demonstrat ed Saturday morning by the arrival at Portland of a carload of fresh salmon gent from the Sacramento river, which should have arrived Thursday morn ing Instead. The open season on sal mon comes a few days earlier in Cal ifornia than In Oregon, and an enter prising broker saw ;i golden oppor tunity to profit by the fondness of the webfoot population for the popular in habitant of river waters at this Beason. Yesterday the 'season opened on the lower Columbia and consignments of the royal Chinook arrived In market simultaneously with the coming of the Sacramento members of the piscatorial family," but not of such dignified de scent. Needless to say there was con cern about the contents of that car, and It is difficult to say whether rail road officials or consignee were most Interested. The season for the gathering of chlt tlm bark is now In full blast, and the coast woods where It abounds Is be ing searched thoroughly by many men, women and children. The bark is found In many sections ot the states of Oregon and Washington, but It Is not so plentiful as several years ago. It is not found elsewhere in the United States. This year the oponlng prices on the bark ranges from S to 8 cents a (found wholesale, and not prepared for the drug trade. At present there is hardly any demand at all, and gather ora would only be able to obtain but as Director Robinson did not about the lowest price if they wanted Don't waste money ai don't take chances in buyir nromiscuoudy.
