TTitrnifiira ArrlvinB '
Th first carload of -beautiful, quar
ter-sawed, golden oak furniture for
the Clatsop Court House arrived yes
terday and was immediately trans
ported to the building by the Prael
Rioner Transfer drays, and the un
packing commence at once. It is
vitv handsome, very strong and serv
iceable and a credit to the officers
who selected it, the building it will
grace and the company who built it
and delivered it It comes from the
ware-rooms of the Camp-Te Roller
Company, at Seattle (being the out
put of the Phoenix Furniture Manu
facturing Co., at Eau Claire, Wis.),
and will cost in the neighborhood of
$15,000. Mr. Te Roller, of the sup
plying firm accompanied the shipment
hither and stayed until the evening
express left up for Portland. The
sheriff office was the first in which
the fine equipment was installed and
it will be all in place there by Monday
morning in due time to meet the in
flux of taxpayers who will swarm
there. The vault furniture and fix
tures, from the Van Dorn Company,
at Cleveland, Ohio, has not yet ar
rived but is on its way. This ele
ment of equipment will cost about
$5000, and the whole ensemble will be
of the finest and most enduring
quality. " ' . .
More Fire Protection-
Fire Chief Foster yesterday receiv
ed the new transmission box which is
to be placed in the headquarter house
of the Astoria fire department for the
expediting of the fire calls that may
be sent in in the future It is some
what similar in construction, and
operation, to the street alarm box,
but larger and more complex in its
range of duty; and contains 25 char
acter wheels for transmitting the
message or alarm to such of the sta
tions as the chief shall feels warrant
ed in calling to the fire. It will be
set up ready for use on Monday, and
once it is in service all telephone calls
will be abandoned by the 'depart
mcnt; the street boxes being employ
ed fully in this behalf, the adjustment
and connection with the new device
rendering any box in the city amen
able to any call for service. It will
be of great advantage and a. distinct
improvement and will be appreciated
by the department as well as by the
people. ' '
Business Pouring In
An Astorian reporter dropped into
the Astoria Iron Works yesterday
and found that concern had taken
on four new men to meet the access
of business in its big shops, and was
crowded with orders, most of which
were for can-making machinery due
in Alaska, where it will be assembled
by March 10th or as soon thereafter
as possible, and consisting of power
presses, body machines and fillers.
The Works are also busy on buoy
work for the Government having just
closed a contract for the care and
repair of 40 of these valuable water
marks, from whistling and bell buoys
to third-class nuns.- Those four ad
ditional mechanics mean $400 more
a month to the payrolls of the Works
and that much more to the commerce
of the city; all, of which is cheerful
news. ' -
Word From Fairbanks-
Letters were received in this city
yesterday from Chester A. Jordan,
the well known young engineer of
this city, now at Fairbanks, Alaska,
in which he says he is well and happy
and busily engaged in running a
roller-skating rink for the winter, at
$100 per month for four months, and
that as soon as the waterways open
up to traffic, he will resume his work
on -the boats; but fails to intimate
anything about coming home to As
toria.
"Get The Hook"
At the Star Theatre, last night, a
crowded house greeted the splendid
performance now being given there.
At 7:45 the doors were closed, so
congested was the house, and over a
hundred people were disappointed in
not being able to gain admittance.
The main attraction was the adver
tised appearance of a number of local
amateurs, it being "Amateur Night.
None were disappointed, as, when the
amateurs took possession of the stage,
fun was rampant Hiner & Lynch
were the first to appear and took the
house by storm in a duologue, ending
the act with a vocal duet Carl Hogley
cave an exhibition of wonderful
equilistic powers on two chairs sue
ceeding in performing the wonderful
feat of standing on the backs of the
two chairs. His dance was considered
a marvel. Stanley & Beck presented
an entirely original sketch (original
with some one) entitled "The Haunt
ed House." This is a pathetic play
let, and was ably presented by the
duo of rising stars, though much of
the success of the production was
due to the able manner in which G.
L. Beard impersonated the , ghost.
Miss May Howell, introduced as "U.
May Howl" sang a selection from
"II Trovatore" and was greeted bois
terously. She had taken the precau
tion to carry a hat rack on the stage,
behind which she took refuge whea
the offerings of the audience became
of too solid a nature. She has been
there before. The applause, and oth
er things, that greeted the ilustrated
song "Ben Bolt" was something un
usual at this popular place of amuse
ment, the applause being heard a
block from the theatre, while the
other things were heard to strike the
screen on which the pictures did not
appear. The house was entirely dark
ened during this part of the program,
due to the innate modesty of the fine
vocalist, Mr. Beard. A criticism of
the musical part of the number can
not be made as, owing to the intensity
of the applause, it could not be heard.
The prize was awarded to Hiner &
Lynch.
Press Comment
To add variety and to relieve the
tension in the strenuous life of "Old
Arkansaw" several good specialties
are presented to further entertain the
audience during the action of the
play, and no dramatic utterance, or
plucky thwarting of the fiendish vil
lain on the part of the hero or heroine
in the regular show, brought forth
more thunderous applause. The play
proper runs along the usual melo
dramatic lines, and is in the hands of
a number of good players, whose suc
cess is plainly and gratifyingly evi
dent from the encouragement of the
gallery, balcony and orchestra pit It
must be a good show,- the audience
says so, but it is helped a lot by those
specialties. Kansas City Journal.
