Astoria "O. N. G." Item
Quietly, but surely, the sentiment is
growing in and about Astoria, for the
establishment here of a fine company
of the Oregon National Guard, and
the building and equipping of an
armory. The young men are eager
for an opportunity to join, and make
excellent use of their spare evenings
in training for the defence of the
country; and especially in the artil
lery arm of the service. The Cham
ber of Commerce will take up the
matter and deal with it in a large way
at its meeting on next Monday night,
and it is hoped that something very
tangible will come from that effort.
Those who may desire to join the
new company, may best secure recog
nition by conferring with Karl Knob
loch, Carl Franseen, J. M. S. Haw
thorne, Alf. Schroeder and Charles H.
Abercrombie, who have petitions
ready for signatures in this behalf.
Has Disappeared
It is learned from official sources,
that Dr. D. A. Sanborn, the herbal
ist, who has been in this city for the
past several months, building up a
practice in his profession, has come
to the critical point in a career not
at all creditable to him, and has fled
the city to escape the sharper element
of the reprisals already in. store for
him. It sems he deserted his wife
in Portland, and hied him hither with
a lady who acted as his housekeeper,
accompanied by the young son of the
woman, and the trio have made a
common home' in one of the apart
ment houses of the city. Inquiry was
set on foot by the abandoned wife,
and the matter followed up by detec
tives sent out from Portland, until

pecially in educational, commercial

proclamation of an edict was instant

tention. That the army was being in
creased at the rate of 30,000 men a
year and in a few years would be a
match for any nation in its industrial
and other lines.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Half a
hundred survivors practically all
there are left of the ninth New York
Volunteers, more commonly known
as Hawkins' Zouaves, held their an
nual reunion at the Hotel Astor last
night. This remnant was one of the
first to respond to Lincoln's call for
troops in 1861 and it served through
out the war. ' There are only a few of
the "red legged devils" left now 14
died during the last year and they are
growning and grizzled and deaf. If
the Zouaves had not had such a weak
ness for fighting with cold steel" com
mented a survivor grimly, looking
around the room and recalling the
fact ttiat 2,4000 men went to the front
to serve in a regiment which never
number more than 600 at one time,
"there'd be considerably more here
this evening".

NEW YORK, April 21.-U. S.
troops are camping on Plum Island

the entrance of New York harbor.
By nightfall the soldiers had evict
ed Capt Archibald Steinhaus, his wife

ton for five years at $3200 a year. He
recently went to Washington and got
the aid of the War Department in

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
Subscriptions Fall off and They Have
to Reduce Their Force.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Hampered
by the lessening of the volume of
voluntary contributions upon which
it largely relics for support, the Am
erican Tract Society has been obliged
to reduce its working force. The fal
ling off in income is attributed by the
Society to the tightening of the money
market. Only such curtailment of
the society's work as is absolutely
necessary under the conditions is be
ing made, however, Alonzo Fogal,
Jr. manager of the society, states that
the organigation has nearly ISO
workers in the American field and Is
keeping up its work in the foreign
field.
"We hope to re-erhploy some of
those dismissed and fill the places of
others when contributions begin to
flow in again," he said." At present
however, the outlock is for further
reductions before our annual meet
ing on May 13."
