A Want Well Filled-The splendid bil

some source of entertainment of the

leisure hours of the day, with the be.t
sort of clieiitelle, and the cleanliness,
the freedom from vulgarity and noise,
and tlus pleasant surroundings, aside
from the beautiful game, constitute
one of the most appreciative schemes
of amusement known here foe a long
while. Mr. Brown's positive rule against
liquor and all gambling devices lias
been and will continue to lie, faith
fully kept, and the gentlemen's game
will lie played by gentlemen, in the
same manner they would follow the pas
time in their own homes. It b the
real fillip of a long- felt want in
Astoria,' sure enough.

enthusiasm, equal to that of, the time

speeches were made. Secretary I.orntsen
spoke of the progress which the union
had made in the a-t score of years and
of the imineaural'le benefit, which the
Columbia river tMiermen had received
from their union. He stated that dur
ing the first thnc years in which the
union had its existence he had esti
mated that $l.O00.0f)O had been saved
to the fishermen and in the last three
years the incivne over this amount
had been greater than ever. Besides
the monetary saving Mr, I.orntsen snid
that the fishermen had been saved an
inealciiable amount by the placing of
lights and other harbor snftey devices
as otherwise nets and equipment would
have been lost. After the meeting a
large number of the fishermen assem
bled at one of the restaurants, where
an enjoyable supper was partaken of.

Astoria should have a seawall, and as
it cannot be bought in Portland or Chi

Now. if the gentlemen of this city would
commence to have their clothes "built"

having things made at home, they would
have no difficulty in building the sea
wall. E. Martinson, merchant tailor, 149

from the best that's made to the cheap

you'll be a steady customer there. It
