At a meeting of the vestry of
Grace church Inst night the mat
ter of removing the rectory from

street to one adjoining the edifica
was discussed. Vestrymen seem to
favor the change, but as yet have
not taken definite action.
The seams and joints made tight with malleable frames pre
vent the admission of air from the outside into the flues -eioept
through the firebox.
The oven bakes properly with the same fire that is used in
doing other work. ,
The arrangements (or water heating in all forma is such that
there is no interference with the operation of the range for
other purposes.
The use of malleable iron makes the Monarch a range that will
not crack, warp, break or open in the seams. Consequently
there is no increase during the life of the range in the
amount of fuel required. The amount of fuel necessary the ,
first year determines the amount It will use any other year.
I It is clear then that there is a saving in the item of repairs in
using a Monarch, since the greater the amount of fuel used
in a range the sooner and ottener will it need repairs.
Try where you will you cannot find a range that will give
better satisfaction for the money. We are sole agents for
tc Astoria. "- - -.,.

' P. L. Cherry yesterday filed with
Auditor Anderson a protest against
the assessments levied against the
Rogers Investment Company and
Mary Rogers for the widening and
connecting of Duane street. Mr.
Cherry '8 protest is based on the fol
lowing grounds: First, that thf
city has no ownership in the pro
posed improvement; second, that
the proposed improvement is un
worthy of the name "street," be
ing too narrow, and that eventual
ly it would have to be widened, at
additional cost; third, that there is
no need for the present improve
ment of the street, as it is capable
of handling all the traffic which
may go over it. The protest will b l
brought before the council Monday
night.
