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.
