YOUNG WAIF'S HARD EXPERIENCE FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD ORPHAN BOY COMES TO ASTORIA IN SEARCH OF EMPLOYMENT -SECURES It A story that ba IU pathetic side was yesterday developed in tbe case of John Brogado, a 14-year-old wait, who reach ed Astoria on the Wednesday noon's train. The story of tbl boy's life, since he was 10 years of age, reads like a Christmas story, but coming from the lip of the urchin bear tbe impress of truth. Hi (father died at San Jose, C'l., when be wa but 10 years old, and two montba later bia mother followed. When tbe funeral expense of the par ents were paid, from tbe proceed of a sale of the household furniture, the boy bad $4 to begin life with. A kind hearted woman took the boy in and looked after1 him. He went to work in a -box factory, in hi borne city, and saved hi net earning until he had over $30 in a bank which later collapsed. He however, secured employment for a suf ficient length of time to enable him to earn enough money to pay hi way to Portland. Arriving there, be could And no employment, and wa tent to Linton. with the same result. Ha bad money to pay bis 'me to Astoria, and came here to try bis luck, arriving penniless. He sought aid from Rev. Father Waters, who gave him encouragement, and im mediately interested himself in bia be half. Tbl morning tbe boy wa around hunting for work and wa noticed by many who thought tbat he waa a run away. Father Waters bad in tbe mean time been making inquiries for employ ment for the youngster, and called on tbe chief of police and abUsted! bia services. R. M. Leathers, tbe boatbuildcr, offer ed to give the young man employment, and the chief gave order to the officer to bring bim in. He was found by Offi cer Oberg, still on bia quest tor work and brought to tbe station. Tbe straight forward manner in which be related bis woes iuipresxed Chief Gamma! and Offi cer Oberg waa detailed to accompany him to Mr. Leathers place of buainesa. Mr. Leathers was also so , Impressed with tbe spparent honesty of his visi tor, that ha immediately gave him' a situation at $1 a day for tbe present, with a promise of increase as he de-j serves iu r ? A good home will be found for Bro gado and with the " encouragement he. haa received and the hustle tbat there is In him be wiU certainly get along. There was a happy boy in Astoria last night and there were also, no doubt, several happy grown ups, happy in the knowledge that they had shown a com mendable charitable feeling that will have it good results.

Mistake in Bids Ileckard Bros., the contractors foi street work, made aVouplo of error in compiling their bids on street work. which were tendered recently. In communication to tbe city coun cil, which wag filed with the city audi' tor, they state that their bid on tae mprovement of Irving avenue from Ninth to Eleventh should have read 12713.70 instead of $2815.70, a difference of $100 in favor of the city. In their bid for work on Harrison avenue ! ween Eighth and Twelfth streets, their bid was intended to be $9060.25 but was road as $7000.25, the first figure in the bid having been so made as to resemble "7." The net difference in what the bids were intended to be, and what they ppeared, is $1900 against the contrac tors. This amount added to the bids. as read will bring them slightly above the surveyor's estimate, though still the lowest bids offered. The matter will come before, the next meeting of the council. . A Wise Move-y ' ' The Chamber of Commerce has written to the purchasing agent of the Panama Canal Commission, making arrange ments so that in the future all of the specifications for supplies may be re celved here for the convenience of bid dera. , As a matter of fact, lumber ean be supplied from Astoria to the Panama Canal cheitpep than from any place on the Pacific Coast and, an important contract must be bid on by December 13. Investigations show that it will be easy enough to transport the lumber and it ia highly probable that a con sideration can be furnished by the local mills wblch will go a long way toward helping local conditions financially, It Is TJp To You When a good thing comes your way it is your loss if you let it go by.
