Reduction in Lumber
Beginning today the Astoria Box
Company will make reductions on
lumber, that will vary from $2 to $4
per thousand feet. This will be a
boon to those contemplating building
residences, etc., and for property
owners paying street improvement
assessments, wherein the price of
lumber figures greatly in the cost of
work. It is thought that the reduc
tion will have a good effect in in
creasing the work done in these lines.

promotion committee of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday

If, Wyte, the names of the following
' responsible and active citizens, at the
executive committee of the promotion
committee: Messrs. Frank J. Carney
chairman); Dr. T. JL. Ball and Norris
Staples; and upon these able should
ers wilt full the essence of the busi
ness for which the greater committee,
as well as the Chamber itself, stands.
Mr, Pattou has evinced very clear
judgment in this premise and has cer
tuinly acquitted hinuclf thoroughly in
a delicate task. With such a line-up
at the head of affairs -there is little
doubt that the new year's work will
be a pronounced success from be
ginning to end, and'the community is
to be congratulated that these gen
tlemen have consented to take over
the important and responsible' office
assigned them. -

The Weather
The cold weather still continues,
and, while not severely cold, it has
the effect of making those who can
do so, remain by the fireside. The
sharp cant wind still makes its pres
ence felt, and heavy overcoats and
gloves are Very much en regie. The
average householder lays , awake
listening for the footsteps of the
plumber or, in his dreams, finds him
self signing a mortgage for tils prop
erty to pay for the frozen pipes, but
all this alarm is needless. The plumb
ers are doing more worrying than the
householder need do. There will be
no water pipes frozen in this weather
as -the cold season is coming gradu
ally and ye property owner is keeping
an eye on1 "goggly gee, the Frost
King. The thermometer ranged for
i he 24 hours ending yesterday at 5:30
p. in. at from 28 degrees early in the
morning to 41 late in the afternoon,
34 being the mean. Last night was a
cold night, the thermometer at an
early hour this morning reading 28
degrees.
No Estimate Made
In the report of the awarding of
the contract for the improvement of
Eleventh street from Duane to Ex
change streets ' yesterday, it was
stated that the city engineer had
made an estimate $500 higher than the
amount of the lowest bid. This was
based on tire fact that an estimate
was made on other work to be done
in conjunction with this portion, some
time ago, but it is now learned that
no estimate was made on this part by
the city engineer, after being segre
gated from the whole work. .

Coasting Accident
Mis Edith Lindstrom, daughter of
Frank Lindstrom, yesterday suffered
a fracture of the right leg, just above
the ankle. It seems that the children
of the neighborhood had made a
"sledding run," by pouring water on
the street, and allowing it to freeze.
Miss Lindstrom was enjoying the
sport and was thrown from her sled
with the above result. Dr. Estes is
attending the young lady, and has re
duced the fracture. The patient, at
last accounts was doing well.
Fell From Banister Rail
The 15-y car-old son of Ceo. Mor
ton had a bad (all. while sliding down
the banister rail at the family home,
on Wednesday. - It was not thought
that he was injured any but Thursday
he was compelled to return home
from school. It is thought that the
fall aggravated an injury formerly re
ceived but that no serious results will
follow. .
Business Increasing
The Modern Shaving Parlor, re
cently opened on Commercial street,
above Twelfth, has made a hit, and
business has increased to such an ex
tent that it has been found necessary
to increase the working force. It is
by far thcfinest shop in Astoria.

and Central America, the coal was on
