t Astoria's Leading House-furnishers
At a recent meeting of a number of
members of the Stevedores', Long
shoremen's and Riggers' Union No. 1
of Astoria, which was organized in the
spring of 1882 and incorporated under
a charter granted by the state of Ore
gon on January 18, 1883, It was re
solved by unanimous vote to amalga
mate with local union No. 536 of the
International Longshoremen, Marine
and Transport Workers' Association.
The state charter has been handed over
to local No. 536, and withdrawal cards
have been Issued to all old-time mem
bers of No. 1, many of whom are re
spected nnd well-to-do cltlxens of As
toria. By the amalgamation of No. 1
with local 536, the local becomes the
oldest longshoremen's union in the
state. "
That Astoria's present greatest need
Is a large, modern hotel Is the opinion
of all the members of the local com
mercial bodies. Several prominent As
torlans are now at work on the hotel
proposition and expect soon to be able
to announce that negotiations for con
struction of the hotel have been con
cluded. With a good hotel Astoria
would become a resort for tourists.
Many people would spend the summer
months In the city who would not go
to the beaches, where there Is always
more or less Inconvenience, An In
stance of how such people feel about
the matter was brought to notice a few
days ago. A Chicago man and his
family went over to Long Beach, but
were dissatisfied with their hotel quar
ters. They remained one day and then
left for, Portland, saying they pre
ferred to spend a short vacation where
there was a good hotel. Such visitors
u these would make an Astoria, hotel
their summer home, and hundred who
usuully go to the beaches would re
main here, where tbe breese I Just a
pure and tbe attraction quite a
numerous. . .
The badly decomposed ' body of a
man was found at Long Beach last
Friday. The corpse was supposed to
have been thut of a Columbia river
fisherman. Of the finding of the body
the Pacific Journal says: "With head
beaten to a pulp, and hands and feet
nearly battered away, the body of an
unknown man was found on the beach
near the Ladd cottage, late Friday aft
ernoon. It wa first discovered by a
party of bather who Immediately re
ported their ghastly discovery. The
body was taken In charge by Coroner
Jo. Gold, and burled in the potter's
field. The body wa In such a decom
posed state that Identification wa Im
possible. It had apparently been In the
water for some time. fie left hand
was off at the wrist, and, the finger
from the right hand were missing. One
foot was gone and the toes of the other
were torn away. The skull was stilt
tn pluce, but all flesh had been sun
dered. The body was apparently that
of a middle aged man, Ave feet five
Inches In height and weighing 160
pounds. It was dressed In a blue
sweater and oilskin pants. It 1 thought
that the remain were those of one of
the fishermen drowned at the mouth of
the Columbia a few week ago,"
