"Coughed up Its Price"
I tis not often a dead chicken
coughs up its own value in sheer gold
but this is what a plump hen did for
Mrs. G. R. 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.

A RANCH.

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.

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

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

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.
C. W. Carnahan's Funeral
The funeral of the late C. W. Can
nahan will take place at the old

court, Ung Fung and Ung You are
now abroad under $20 bail each for

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

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.

Resolutions Adopted
A meeting of the Clatsop County

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 '

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.
