Out on a Recuperative Trip Puts up a Loyal Talk For Astoria. Mayor Herman Wise, of this city, is out on an invalid-tour over the State, as a recuperative measure, and was in Portland yesterday, en route to Southern Oregon. As becomes a loyal citizen, he had the following pleasant things to say about Astoria: "Gambling and vice in Astoria have been reduced to a minimum," said Mayor Wise, who was in Portland yesterday on his way to Southern Oregon, where he goes to recuperate from an attack of the grip. "Without a revenue of about $15,000 annually, that the city has been receiivng from gambling and dancehalls, the total tax levy this year on an assessed property valuation of 25 per cent is a few mills less than that for last year. Municipal improvements have not suf fered. The city is now building a boulevard over 40 blocks long that will connect the two ends of the city. We have doubled the efficiency of our fire department and have made exten sive improvements to our park sys tem, while more streets are being im proved than ever before. Our Cham ber of Commerce is expending about $1000 monthly in an extensive adver tising campaign that is already pro ducing results. "Astoria is in a more prosperous condition today than ever before. Our sawmills are all running, some of them with two shifts night and day and the logging camps are resum ing operations. With the opening of the fishing season next month, As toria will be enjoying her full meas ure of prosperity. Our people are all satisfied with the existing conditions and have no desire to return to form er conditions which did so much un favorably to advertise their city and discourage its growth and prosperity." "The Burgomaster.'' Pixley & Luder's famous musical comedy, "The Burgomaster," will be the strong attraction at the Astoria Theatre, Saturday, March 28th. Gus Weinburg and Ruth White, the two orignials in the parts of Peter Stuy vesant and Willie Van Astorbilt, will be the featured members of the cast, and there will be an especially strong acting company and also a chorus of 50. The costuming is exceptionally handsome, having been made for this production by Marshall Field of Chi cago, and the production is a large one. Several changes have been made in the book, to freshen it. Just Opened. First-class Dressmaking and Ladies' Tailoring. Mrs. McLeland, 159 Ninth street THE MORNINO ASTOIIIAN. ASTOStIA, ORBGO N.

Ball, Ross, Staples, Trenchard, Gratke, Welch, Wallace and Whyte, and adopted a plan whereby the float for the Portland rose festival was financed. There were present the members of the special committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to handle the Rose Festival float, C. W. Lamar, chairman; C W. Barr and B. L. Ward. Mr. Thomas, representing the Portland Rose Festival was with them. The plan adopted was that put for ward by Chairman Celler of the sub scription and membership committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Celler believed that the businesslike method to pursue, taking it for granted that the merchants and busi ness as a majority were in favor of having the float, was to place the financial part of the plan in the hands of the promotion committee and then raise the additional $600 required, al lowing it to be paid into the promo tion committee by the month. In this way the extra outlay will hardly be noticed, whereas, if the $600 was raised by direct subscription at one time and separate from the other ad vertising work that is now being doae by the Chamber the effort would be considered a burden. Mr. Celler's committee will take up the matter of subscriptions for the promotion work of the Chamber at once. Chairman Lamar of the Rose Show committee has entered into a contract with the Rose Festival authorities in Portland for the float and immediate ly he will put in different places about the city ballot boxes in which balloting will be done for the most popular young lady. The winner in this contest will represent Astoria and ride in the pageantry. The promotion committee believed that under the circumstances k would be best for Astoria to be represented in the Portland Rose Festival, then there will not be an opportunity for certain of the newspapers in Portland to make criticisms which they seem very prone to do. There is to be a special one-fare rate out of Portland to all towns in the State during the Rose Festival. Whether or not there will be any practical benefit in Astoria's partici pation in the Portland event remains to be deomnstrated. The Rose Festi val authorities are asserting that they expect to have at least 150,000 visitors during the festival. Should they have a third of this number and a tenth of that third come to Astoria, then Port land might expect a float from As toria in 1909. If some such a practi cal result does not appear very cer tain, it is not likely that the Promo tion committee will see fit to provide a float after this year. But there is no doubt of the fact that the Portland Rose Festival will be one of the biggest carnival events ever held in the Northwest, and as it will be of more or less benefit to the entire Northwest, and as the promo tion committee is doing its best to advertise Astoria in every way it can, it was thought well to try the mat ter out. It is now up to the Portland Rose Festival authorities to make good. DONE BY DEED Ben Elkoos and wife to Charley Duncan, lots 24, 25. 26, block 46, Upper Astoria; $100. Kate O. Robb et ux to W. J.
