Gyantae, Thibet. Thursday. June 1. A force of 100 Thibetans attempted -to Interrupt a British convoy near here today. Four Thibetans were killed, "he convoy arrived here safely. The ladles of the civic Improvement committee of the Woman's Club are making every efTort to Insure the suc cess of the children's operetta, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," to be given at Fishers' opera house on Thurs ifiv. June 10. and Friday. July 1. The jrlnclpals In the cast, and the chorus, Are all local children, but are so, well trained In their respective parts that they will act and sing In a manner that would do credit to professional of riper years. The proceeds of the performances, after paying expenses, wilt be turned over to the civic tm. proverncnt fund. It Is therefore hoped the public will show Its Interest In the good work by turning out in strength to support the efforts of the Indies of the Woman's Club. At the Astoria Savings bank yester day $4000 was paid out to the em ployes of the Union Fishermen's Co operative Pocking Company. In all about 100 persons benefited by this dis tribution of funds. The employes paid oft yesterday were those who work at the packing house, and who have sup planted the Chinese laborers formerly engaged. Officers of the company say the Innovation of employing white la bor has proved most successful, and that -excellent results are being at' talncd. The growing scarcity of Chin ese labor has made whit labor quit aa cheap aa that of the orientals, and the work is done aa efficiently as waa the case when Chinese received vast sums monthly for packing tub. The company Is In flourishing condition and has 180 boata In Its employ. The number of stockholders exceeds 400, and at the end of the season It will pay out to Its fishermen more than 1150.000. all of which' will be kept at home. The business affairs of the coni cern are In careful hands, and the Co operative company finds ready sale for all of Its product. It has become one of the most substantial pocking con cerns on the Columbia river, and Its present prosperous condition is in marked contrast with Its financial status a few years ago, when the Sav ings bank advanced It money enough to keep it in operation. The Co-op grade eof salmon have earned an en viable name throughout the country, and are greatly in demand.

HEILBORN & SON .Astoria's Leading House-furnishers gentlemen committee will meet at the customs house, at ( o'clock, for the puriose of discussing matters that may be brought before them. The committee is made up of A. Scherneckau, W. H. Barker. G. W. Itoberts, It. B. Dyer, C. A. Coolidge, T. If. Curtis. . H. Welch. W. C. Lo gan, R. A. Carruthers and Frank L. Parker. Mr. Parker stated yesterday that the last, of the repliea to the com mittee's letter had been received, from the Astoria & Columbia River Rail road Company, the Astoria Company and the Clatsop Mill Company. The nature of the replies Is a disappoint ment to the committee, as all of the concerns have failed to commit them selves. The committee had been wait ing for the responses of those com panies for several weeks, and, now that they have been received, the com mittee is to be called together for the, purpose of preparing a final report for presentation to the citizens of Astoria at a mass meeting. At the moss meet ing the work of the committee will be made known In detail and tt will be definitely decided whether or not the undertaking shall be attempted. Councilman Nordstrom js still mak ing figures on the city hall proposi tion, and every time he revises his ex hibit he figures out a more unsatisfac tory showing for those cwunciimen who have set their hearts upon the new hall. Mr. Norasirom now esti mates that .the new bluldlng will In crease the municipal debt 30,200. He estimates the cost of the structure at $28,000, the architect's figures, and reckons that the extra tost will be In the neighborhood of 14000, which Is $6WC less than he really believes It will prove to be. The site cost $4600 and street Improvements will entail the expenditure of $1200. The cost of the patrol wag.m and the salary of the driver will mean $2000 additional, and the cost of a new engine house and site wilt be fully $3500. The cost of securing temporary 'iuarters for the city gwernment will be $1000, and that of moving the offices Into the new hall will be $500, a grand total of $45,200. The available cash to pay all this Is $15,000, so the deficit is $30,200. He figures that at the end of 50 years the new hall be worth nothing. He places the cost of the Havel brick at $25,000 and calculates that It will be worth $50,000 50 years hence. The erection of the new hall, he says, will operate to the Injury the city's financial status and send warrants down below par. He will Introduce an ordinance at tomorrow night's meeting of the council authorizing the ways and nr-ans committee to purchase the na vel brick. In this manner putting all of ths aldermen on record. Yesterday afternoon a horse attach ed to one of Ross, Hlgglns' delivery wagons ran away and started to clean up the town. Before It had run a block It collided with the horse at tached to the wagon of the Crown bot tllng works. The shaft of the wagon to which the first mentioned horse was attached penetrate the shoulder of the other animal fully 18 Inches. The runaway horse then freed himself from the wagon and Journeyed to Commercial street and on to Twelfth, where he was stopped by a man wh had the necessary nerve.' The horse belonging to the bottling works was so badly hurt that it will be necessary to kill him. The Injured animal belonged to Louis Boentgen and Was driven by Patrick Coe.
