C. E. Du Boise, one of the Repub
lican wheel horses of Seaside, and
chairman of the precinct Republican
central committee of that bailiwick,
was in the city yesterday suing up
the situation so far as its develop
mcnt to dale gave any definite assur
Ante. Mr. Du Boise says nearly
everybody down that way it a candi
date for something and comes pretty
nearly matching Astoria in the
promiscuity and tiniversality of the
"itch.." Even Mr. Du Boise wants to
succeed himself on the central com
mit ice and intends to if he can, Fred
Moore is coming out for county com
missioner, and J. E. Burke may come
out for legislative honors; but this
merely starts the list down there.

lic ways opened the bids for the con
struction of the Eighth-street tewer

Primary Voters
When the office of the county clerk
closed last evening there werek exact
ly 1360 registrations in behalf of the
primary election which will be held
on the 17th of April next. Of these
910 are in the seven city precinctt and
the county. By way of answering the
multitude of questions that are daily
ORDERED TO PORTLAND.
Superintendent John McGuire and hit
Staff Summoned to Headquarter!.
Orders were received in this city
yesterday summoning- Superintendent
John McGuire, of the Astoria & Co
lumbia River Railroad Company, with
his staff, consisting of Chief Engineer
R. P. Habersham, Train Despatcher
Edwarjl D. Lackey, and Assistant
Despatcher W. Lindau, to the head
uarter office at Portland; and they
will depart on Tuesday next.
Superintendent McGuire has been
a tonable figure in this city and coun
ty for the past 10 years, and he, and
his associates will be sorely missed
in the field they have filled so long
and so satisfactorily. This change
has been anticipated here for many
months, but it is no more welcome
now than if these gentlemen had
gone when the auditing force left
here. It is not the personal depriva
tion involved in the affair altogether,
but the loss of the office and business;
Chocolates
the best in the world
50c a Pound,
but as the exigencies of the , com
pany's business demands the removal
hence of thit popular officer and his
colleagues, there is nothing left for
Astoria to do but to signify its sense
of lost in each particular instance,
and wish them, one, and all, a pleas
ant and permanent tenure in the new
field.

Meant What It Says,
Every Astorian who may be in need
of wallpaper or paints or material in
cident to house and home decorations,
will do well to make a visit to the
handsome store of the Allen Wall
Paper & Paint Company, at the
corner of Eleventh and Bond; where
there is a genuine reduction sale go
ing forward on all these lines. The
discounts are genuine and inviting
and will repay negotiation. The com
pany is winding out a lot of short
orders and making the necessity an
opportunity for advantage to those
who will avail themselves of it.
