Manager Whyte wa buy yesterday
Mii;rlnlndliig tha removal of the
effect of the chumber of commerce
from the old room on Bond street to
th new quarter In the Odd Fellow'
tmnple.
Several painter and paperhanKW
are rapidly converting the room Into
presentable ahapo and Manager Whyte

ready for business by the first of the
month, lie expressed himself a well
pleased with th new quarter and
think they are more In keeping with
what a city' the slxe of Astoria should
liaver
In tearing out the case and other
paraphvnslla In tha old room many
thing long since forgotten of Interest
and Importance were discovered. Th
greatest find of th day wa the dis
covery of about 200 books on historical
subject, )iti many year old. Where
and when this collection of old .hooks
originated is a mystery, Thy consist
of ltorle of Astoria, of Oregon and
church histories. Mr. Whyte thinks
that they are the property of some
historical society of former days. He
has not quite made up hla mind as to
th-lr proper disposal, probably the
bunks wl be turned over to the city
library. '
Also from amongst the rubbish wa
unearthed an express package con
taining a bunch of Louisiana lottery
ticket together with a circular letter.
Mr. Whyte haa aent them to the New
Orleans Daily State and expect to
see a Sunday feature artlclo In that
paiwr In the near future.
In tliii mall yesterday wa a postal
card containing the name of some 10
Chines resident In tho various part
of the country. The card wa neatly
written and waa nt by Annie Sua, a
lltll Chine girl. Manager Whyte wa
greatly elated over receiving thl card
a It show to what a grt
extent the system haa taken hold and
to what a depth It haa gone. II will
write a letter to tha little girl telling
her that she la a good cltlxen and
commending her on her Astoria spirit.
