YESTERDAY AND AWARDS CON
TRACT FOR BASEMENT FILLING
OTHER WORK WILL BE RUSHED.
Mr, J'aul Velngi-r, the mitristjjer of
the Welnlmrd toU, was In Astoria
yesterday, In onuectlon with the work
to be done on the new hotel now being
built here by them,
Mr. WcMlnger was greeted by, and
I'X'k dinner, with hcvithI prominent clti
z'mi s guest of Korrla 8tapl, and
esprsised hi pleasure at the beautiful
piwpect of Astoria, During the after
noon he awarded the rout met for filling
in the basement, above tide water, to
the Astoria Crushed Hock Co. (Ililde
brand It (terding), and the work will
be commenced immediately.
An Astorian reporter Interviewed Mr.
UlpHiriger, prior to hi departure on the
0:10 train, and learned from him some
Interesting fact concerning the con
st ruction of the building.-
"Your city has a great future," ssid
he, "snd our Investment Is warranted.
Wis do not propose- to erect a cheap,
flimsy building, but a substantial, mod
ern edifice. The start of the work, the
foundation, which I considered by archi
tect and engineers, the principal fac
tor, gives an idea of what is going to lie
placed upon It. Our architects are work
ing on the plans for the superstructure,
and axe well along with them. They
ara designing a strictly up-to-date build
ing, and, when it is completed, Astoria
will have as modern a hotel as any
city on the Pacific Coast. Contracts will
be let without delay for the other por
tion of the work, and we nope to have
tlie building under roof by September.
Today I awarded the contract for the
filling for the bacment to a local firm,
llildchrand & Ording, and we will have
the licneflt of later rains to thoroughly
mttle the ground, before placing the
concrete floor on it. The many people
who will visit Astoria, during the com
ing lummer, will ace the walls of a
Iwautifiil building going up. and, before
the fall rains commence, the building
will have so far progressed thst the
work csn continue without interruption.
This hotel will be dedicated to Atoria,
as we are interested in its future, and
all we ask Is the good mill of your
eiUsuM. V v
When assured that there Is little
doubt of gaining that, he answered, "I
believe it from tha character of the men
I have met, and their treatment of me,
and I ensure the people of Astoria that
we will do our beet to retain that good
will, I will return in the near future,
and any information I can give you re
girding the building, and ita erection,
will be cheerfully furniahed." Mr. We
singer was accompanied to the train by
quite a delegation of business men.
WANT CAR LINE EXTENDED.
Petition of loo Residents of Alderbrook
For Extension to City Limits.
"Astoria Electric Co., Astoria.
"fientlemcni iVe, the undersigned
rvi(iut and property owners la thdt
portion of the city of Astorfn lying
eust of Forty-second street, most re
spectfully petition you to extend your
car line east through Alderbrook to the
east line of the city limit.
'The extension of said car line would
accommodate a great many people living
in that vicinity and would surely pay
interest on the cost of making the ex
tension of your system, and such ex
tension would also tend to greatly in
crease the traffic of your ystem by build
ing up that portion of the city which I
admirably tuitcd for reildcnt.

Nearly a Rani way
What might have been a serious run
away was averted yesterday by the
tenacity of the driver of a team at
tached to one of the wagons of the Sou-malainen-Co-operative
Co. The team bad
been driven into the warehouse on the
Lurline dock and when the driver was
about to alight they started to leave
the building. Making a short turn the'
wagon collided with one of the support
ing posts of the structure, nearly turn
ing over and burying the teamster wha
was endeavoring to control the horses,
beneath it. Clearing the obstruction tha
team dashed out of the warehouse aaJ
were proceeding up Eleventh etreet, at
a rapid pace wnen brought to a stop
at the corner of Bond and Elevents. The
damage resulting waa a broken tongu
on the wagon and a frightened driver.
Keen Disappointment
A large number of people were disap
Minted last night at the non-arrival of
the Passion Play films. The management
of the Automatic Theatre was assured
lust night by wire that the films would
positively be here today. The general
interest in the pictures bids fair to rival
the excitement caused by the allow
ing of the Passion Play in Portland
ft was evidenced by the large number
of people who presented themselves at
the theatre last night. The management
regret the unavoidable delay, and feels
sure that the beauty of the pictures.
when seen, will atone for the dis
appointment.
House Burglarised-'
It was reported last night that the
residence of C. L. Houston on Franklin
avenue and Fourteenth atrct was brok
en into in the absence of Mr. and Mrs.
IJouston, from the city, and thoroughly
ransacked. The children of the family
who are residing with a neighbor enter
ing the house yesterday discovered the
condition of affairs and reported the
matter to Mir. Hoefler. The police had
no knowledge of the matter but it is
likely to be reported to them today.
