He has been in the Ta- coma hospitals for some time past, and was headed for the Columbia river and Astoria where he hoped to enter the fisheries. The man inti mated that he had been a defeated litigant in some railway cases, and seemed to have it in for that partic ular business.

The beau tiful ritual of the order in this solemn premise was fittingly employed and was profoundly enjoyed by all pres ent; after which a banquet was discussed until a late hour and dur ing which the fraters indulged the lore of the craft to their hearts' con tent.

This fine property has been in his possession for some time past and he has brought it to a high state of cultivation, and its 1200 full bear ing trees are beginning to repay him handsomely for the care he has de voted to their culture. He intends to put out 1000 pear trees during he coming year, and will, in time, own one of the finest orchards in Southern Oregon. As it is, his Spiztenbergens command the top-notch prices on the New York market along with the practical approval of the interested dealers in that critical field. Mr. Astbury is conscious of the fact that he leaves many warm friends in Astoria, and on many accounts, re grets his departure, but feels that he has something in that part of the State that cannot be neglected and desires to give it his own especial care and attention. All hands wish him unbounded success. SUCCESS ASSURED. The Astoria Amateur Athletic Asso ciation Meet At a meeting of the Astoria Ama teur Athletic Association which was held at C. H.

GROUNDS Game Called 2:30 Adm. 25c iioraicHii American Steel Making Headway in South Africa RETURN OF L A. SERVATIUS The Dutch at Present Doing Bulk of Steel Business in South Africa, But American Steel is Being Investi gated by the Authorities. NEW YORK, May 22.-L. A. Ser- vatius of New York has returned af ter a year's absence in South Africa, where he went to introduce Americas steel into that country. "South Africa," said Mr. Servatius in an interview, is at present in the throes of a financial depression that will only end when the people there learn that this country and all others are again on a sound tooting, tnere will then be a boom there. The Dutch are at present doing a big steel business there but when I showed that the steel of this country was not only better than could be made any where else but that it could be laid down to them at a smaller cost they looked into the matter and now Americans are making some headway there in the steel business. "I have been going to the South African market for several years and find that every time I go I make better headway. The fence against which Americans falter is the 8 per cent export discount allowed the Dutch by the government for all material that is sent from the home market while American steel has to pay a i per cent tax. wevertneiess. Americans are the power there now in many of the largest enterprises, and the country looks good to me for the continued advancement of Ameri can enterprise." RUSSIAN HORRORS.
