ian' recent special edition: "The

pleasing, the press-work excellent,
the cut numerous and interesting
attractive and the tubject matter well
and interestingly written. The many
natural advantages of Astoria and
ihe surrounding country are convinc
ingly et forth and the edition should
prove a splendid advertisement for
the community."
A Busy Place
Clatsop's beautiful court house was
a scene of activity yesterday; the
sheriffs force were deeply engrossed
with the reception of tax monies
pouring in by mail and from the hosts
of personal visitors that flocked there
steadily all day long; and the hall
and corridors and offices resounded
to the hummer of the expert work
men putting up the fine new furniture
that ha Just arrived, the sheriff,
treasurer's, and county clerk's offices
being particularly in line of embellish
mcnt on this score yesterday. The
new oak desks, counter and fixture,
with their white .marble plates and
bate, make a handsome and bar
moniou finish to the structure and
will last the life of the building it
elf.
Mr. Leathera Improving
Inquiry at the home of R. M, Leath
er alTord the cheerful intelligence
that that gentleman it getting along
all right and will be out in due course
at well at ever. He was resting quite
easily yesterday evening and gave
every sign of steady recovery,
Must Answer In Tims
Lottie Lewis, the ncgrei who is
charged with slashing Effie Moore
some day ago, will have to plead to
some grave accusation in a few day,
if 'the condition of the Moore, woman
improve and he recover to a point
of safety. Just what the nature of
the formal charge is to be ha not
yet been announced by the district at
torney's office.
Distinguished Guests
Among the visiting Knights of
Columbus on Sunday last were noted,
Hon. John B. Coffey, representative
from Multnomah in the Oregon Leg
islature, .and Rev. Father Lane, of
Albany, fate of this city, and highly
I respected here. Alderman Drucoll
of the Portland council, wa also pre
sent, and was gladly greeted on all
sides by old friends in Astoria.
Sent to the Head
Fisher Brother Company ha sent
one of it capable and popular em
alovecs to the head of the concern
j .11. O'ConncIl having been made
manager of the business to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of r. a
Roiiers. It i fitting mark of apprechv
tion to Mr. O'ConncIl for the years of
faithful service he has rendered and
the commanding skill he has acquired
in the business of his principals.
Did Big Business
Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy and his as
Utants. four alt told, yesterday is
sued 180 receipts to the tax-paying
public, and took in the round sum of
$10,000,, a "right smart", beginning
for this particular line of work. And
It i very suggestive of the amount of
work these men will have to do in
the next fourteen days. It was a
rousing piece of work, when com
pared with the first day of Mult
nomah's tax collections which began
a month ago, when Sheriff Srevcns,
with 25 clerk only handed out 300
receipts.
Meeting Night Changed
There were a number of .people
asking why the Chamber of Com
merce held no meeting last night, hot
knowing, apparently, that the meet
ing? nights of that body have been
changed to the second and fourth
Monday night in each month in
stead of the first and third. It is an
excellent idea, and gives the dozen
or more prominent citizens who are
members of the Common Council as
well as of the Chamber, an opportun
ity to attend the latter and take part
in public business: in which they are
all interested to a greater or lesser
extent.
Well Known Here

tcrday of the death at Salem, Oregon,
of the Hon. Tilinon Ford, one of the
leading lawyer of the ; Wilamette
valley and a member of one of the

dent of hi great profession, a dc
voted traveler, and died possessed
of a handsome competence. He was 67
year of age, and died at the home of
hi friend, partner and kinsman, W.
H. Kaiser.. Mr. Ford ha many friends
in this city who will regret to hear
of hi demise.

two or three teams to work it back
to terra firma.
Pleasure and Profit
The coming of the Portland
Knights of Columbus to this city, on
Sunday last, 150 strong, via the fine
steamer T. J. Potter, proved to be
one of the features of the season
hereabout. Just as the Morning As
toria published the schedule for the
day and night, so it went, happily and
successfully, the new council, As
toria, No. 1307, was instituted with
50 members, insurance, and social,
and starts on its career under the
brightest auspices. The . Portland
fraters did not get away on the Pot
ter until 1 o'clock yesterday morning;
and they went charmed with the
splendid reception tendered them by
