Osborne last evening as she was cleaning the bird for today's dinner at her Eleventh street home, A nugget of gold popped out of its crop, and upon reference to a near by jeweller it was found the metal, which was of the size of a small white bean, was worth the better part of a dollar.

PEOPLE COMING TO CLATSOP COUNTY HEINRICH WITTE, A YOUNG GERMAN, IS A NEWCOMER AND HAS ALREADY BOUGHT A RANCH. Mr, Hcinrich Witlc, a young Ccr mans 28 years old, who has been in this country about a year, lately of Takua, Mont., and who had for some time been in correspondence with the Chamber of Commerce before coming here in person on Thursday, has purchased 56 acres of land on the Lewi & Clark River some seven miles from the city. Mr. Wittc has honorable discharge papers from the royal German navy and is an upright, healthy man, just the iknd that will some day become A leading citizen of Clatsop county, He has been badly treated since arriving in America and sonic real estate sharper in New York fleeced him out of much of his hard-earned savings. lie came here from the scacoasl of Germany where climate and topography conditions arc almost exactly similar to those here and is very will pleased. lie expects to write for several other young Ger man friends of his and urge them to come here. There arc several acres of cleared land ,on the farm he purchased which fronts on the river. The purchase was made through the Astoria Ab stract Title & Trust Co. A prominent real estate agent of Bokkow, Mo., has written to the Chamber of Commerce saying that he has a number of prosperous Mis souri families who desire to come to this section of Oregon. If he can get permission to handle some Clatsop lands for land owners here he will take hold of the matter and push sales to an early completion. Any one who has land that they will turn over to this agent, would ydo well to make the same known at the Chamber of Commerce. Two Days Left The registration of voters in and for Clatsop county up to the close of business yesterday, showed the seven city precincts to have 1575 people enrolled in this behalf, and the 21 outside precincts 872; making a grand total of 2447, which is but a few hundred behind the total of 1906; and this with two days and one night yet to get on the important record.

Chinamen in Trouble Upon the sworn complaint of one Scad Yan filed in Justice Goodman's court, Ung Fung and Ung You are now abroad under $20 bail each for their appearance for trial on Monday morning next at 10 o'clock, upon charges of "assault with a dangerous weapon," the alleged attack having been made on the said Scad Yan several nights ago, on Bond street between Sixth and Seventh. Promt nent Chinamen say there is "nothing to it" and that it is largely a piece of spite work; all of which is to be inquired into at the proper time. Important Mass Meeting On next Friday night there is to be held in this city, and at the Astoria oncra house, a mass meeting of the citizens, in the interests of the sal mon fisheries for which this city and section stand. There will be every acencv at hand for the explicit ex pression of the facts of interest and interests at stake, and it is designed to be a notable gathering in every way. The detail of the affair has not vet been consummated but is under way and will be announced during the first of this week. The simple fact that it is inspired by the peril that confronts the biggest industry with which Astoria associated, will justify a crowded and enthusiastic house.

How long have you known your dealer. Is he up-to-date or slouchy? You know. HERMAN W P. S. ONE PIANO NUMBER Resolutions Adopted A meeting of the Clatsop County Medical Association was held in this city Friday evening. The officers for the ensuing year arc: President, Dr. r. A. Finch; vice-president, Dr. R. J. Pilkington; secretary, Dr. Clara Reames; treasurer, Dr. Nellie Ver non; representative to the State Medical Association, Dr. J. M. Holt, alternate, Dr. J. A. Fulton. The as sociation adopted resolutions of re spect to the memory of the late Dr. August C. Kinney, as follows: "Be it resolved, That the Clatsop County Medical Association in loving re membrance of Dr. August C. Kinney, thus expresses its deep sorrow over his death. That the death of Dr. August C. Kinney removed from our profession one whose intense love for his fellowman led htm to make it his life's work to do all that one could do in his allotted time for the alleviation of human suffering and to prolong the lives of those he loved so well. That this association while recognizing the inscrutable wisdom of the Creator .of all, deplores the loss to our profession of one who so thoroughly exemplified all that is highest and best in the physician. That this association wishes to con vey to the 'grieved widow and rela tives of our beloved member, this ex pression of our earnest sympathy in their bereavement and our apprecia tion of the noble life and work of our beloved friend and brother." New Quarters Tomorrow Messrs. Higgins & Warren's in surance agency will move tomorrow from the old stand on Eleventh near Bond, to the office formerly occu pied by the Columbia Trust Com pany, on the ground floor of the Astoria Savings Bank, these gentle men having purchased, yesterday, the fine office fixtures already installed there and which are deemed among the handsomest in the city. More Arc in Line It is announced that the merchants on Commercial street between Elev enth and Twelfth street, intend to instal five full power arcs along the center of that throughfare at once, thus adding another block to the brilliance that floods Astoria's main avenue nightly. And it might not be a bad idea to keep the scheme go ing until the city fire-headquarters are reached, if not, indeed, the A. & C. depot. , "y ' ' l(i Cwrlht I80S k CHIOS! BROS. CO.

A WISE SUIT NBW SONG Wise Clothes Plana Still Growing- Tom Dakins the genial night cleric of the Hotel Occident, is an ardent floriculturist and no sort of a plant is allowed to wilt while he is any where near it and the faucets flow and the tides play. He was caught redhanded yesterday morning, indus trially watering the papier-mache palms that have decorated the office corners of that caravanserie for the past generation or two. Of course he knew they were "fake" fronds, but his assiduity was a matter of sheer force of habit and it was a positive unkindness to remind him of their irresponsive nature. Just Opened.
