The Cow-Country
The ipoitnd piaster of Astoria, if
there is such an officer, and whoso

rxpert in this line of work. It is 10
feet by two, in dimensions, and is
hung perpendicularly oi; the western
ingle of the building, and makes an
ffective show for blocks. It is yet
to be embellished with a red, white
id blue margin of lights and will
then be the finest thing of its kind
n Astoria. 1
Pleasant Re-Union
There was a happy family rc-union
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P.

Warrenton Waking Up
There was a lively session of the
Warrenton Board of Trade last night
at which several practical steps were
taken for the good of that city The
board completed its own organisation
in full, and is now ready to do busi
ness. It is looking for a man with
skill and capital to start a glove fac
tory there, and wants overtures from
some people qualified to run a cigar
factory, and a bakery. Dr. Linton
has discovered a new water source
of value that may be exploited to the
distinct concern to the city, and will
be duly investigated. The 'board
wants to hear from a newspaper man
who will bring in an outfit and set
up an organ there that will stand for
the city and share its coming pros
perity. . Arrangements ; were also
made for a conference Nvith Assessor
Cornelius looking to the grading of
lot values in Warenton, on a basis of
grades, and the general equalization
of acreage values round about there.
The mayor and common council will
be the especial guests of the board at
its next session, a step taken in the
interest of the whole city, in the crea
tion of a new basis .of intimate and
concurrent action all round.

RESOLUTION RESTRICTING IS
SUANCE OF LIQUOR LI
CENSES WILL BE INTRO
DUCED AT SPECIAL COUNCIL
' MEETING THIS EVENING.
There is, happily, no undue excite
mcnt nor useless talk anent the pend
ing adjustment of the "saloon-local
option matter in this city, and it
firmly believed .that by 9 o'clock this
evening all controversy will have
been laid and the question disposed
of for a good long time to come.
The saloon men have framed up an
agreement fo the rigid closing of
the business in Astoria on Sunday
and a large majority of the dealers
have signed it, and gave definite sign
of their purpose on Sunday last when,
it is authentically reported, every
house in the city was sealed against
any and all customers.
J n order to qualify the situation
and make it feasible for all parties to
merge their interests in some unform
way, Mayor Wise has issued a call for
special session of the common
council for this. Tuesday evening,
when it is proposed to submit a gen
cral resolution, and pass it if possible,
to restrict all further issuance of li
quor licenses in certain localities for
a given length of time; a step that is
in the-interest of all cencerned in the
present mix-up. And everybody is
hoping there will be a unified vote
on the proposition, so that the exist
ing dilcmna may be called off and
things revert to normal and unexact
ing conditions.
The members of the Civic League,
who have the petitions for local op
tion in precincts Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5,
are still busy getting signers, and will
hold these off to the last minute to
night before filing, in order to give
this new movement toward adjust
ment, full opportunity to make good,
and if the resolution is adopted by the
council, the petitions will not be filed
at all; if, however, the resolution fails,
they will make use of the cards in
their hands and send the question to
the voters, without more ado.
There should, and no doubt, will be,
careful view taken of the whole
situation tonight, by the councilmcn,
and their acts in the matter will bave
a determining influence in the ad
justment

her last turn on the San Francisco-
Astoria-Portland run. She will be re
placed by the famous old liner State

pablc of making and marketings
Estate Orders Made-
Judge C. J. Trenchard, sitting for
probate matters yesterday, made the
following orders, which have gone to
the record: In the estate of C W
Carnahan; ordered that the adminis
trator sell the personal property of
the estate fo the purpose of paying
the indebtedness of the estate, which
is reported to be between $1500 and
$2000. In the estate ! of James
Brown,1 the administratrix, Mary A.
Twilight, was directed to borrow, at
the rate of 8 per cent per annum, the
sum of $400, upon certain realty be
longing realty belonging to the es
tate. -In the matter of the guar
dianship of AlbcrJ and Pauline Har
ris, 'minors, the guardian was instruct
ed to sell the two-fifths interest of the
children in certain real estate duly;
Powder
listcd by the court, and to file a bond
in the sum of $500, covering thi
transaction.
Special (Non)-Deliveries .
There are repeated complaints oi
the non-delivery of "special delivery
letters from the Astoria postoffice.
Dr. Henderson yesterday stated that
he had received a special order from
a distant patient for a badly needed
prescription that should' have gone
out on the early train yesterday
morning, and which was delayed for
10 hours the letter did not reach hi
office until after 9 o'clock yesterday;
not is he the only one who depre
cates the poor service. It is up to
Uncle Sam to deliver the letters for
which his people pay the extra 10
cents, and to do it on time, and in
time, to make them effective to. the
not matter what sort of a contract
this particular office . has with the
Western Union or any other com
pany, for this delivery. The fact re
mains that the postal authorities
should provide a service at any hour
of the day or night to perfect the
service that is paid for in advance by
the man or woman who has urgent
reason for using that phase of the
public service and expects to reap
some advantage from it It is high"
time the proper steps were being
taken in this behalf.
