Busiest Place In City The Astoria Iron-Works is about the busiest place in the city these days, as there arc 42 men now at work there Idling orders of all kind aud more orders arriving every day. The force is, for the most part, en gaged on the construction of the Troyer I'ox gas engines, which are in great demand this season. All the line machinery in the big plant is in constant use all the time. next, at $4 for the full season, or at $1 for each for the parades. Those of this city who desire to secure this advantage will do well to see Chair man Lamar of the Chamber of Com merce committee, who will see that all reservations arc promptly made. Two Committee! Appointed At a meeting, of the signers of the Oregon National Guard which was held last night at the City Hall, var ious matters were discussed in con nection with the organization of the new company.

It is hoped he mav not regret his decision, as exoosure and salt water are not con ducivc to quick healing in such cases Has Been Apprised Hon. W. F.

Had a Good Record- After wandering about the continent for over 14 months in futile search addressed to. a VI IMS, " letter, sent out from here by F. L r'-irWr Chief Deoutv Collector of Why la Thia Thus? Yesterday's Oregouian (newspa per) contains the following item of news: "Assistant General Passenger Agent Jenkins, of the Spokane, Port- and & Seattle Railway, is issuing a new passenger tariff covering the stations reached .by the North Bank Road. Commutation rates will be put in from Vancouver to points as far east as Bingen. These books will be on sale within a short time. Which reads to the ordinary Astorian as though the company was playing favorites with its new stations and patrons to the disparagement of its older friends down this way. It was only last spring that the commuta tion tickets between this city and Seaside were called off and the com pany went out of the special-rate business on this end of the line al together, only to resume it, or inau gurate it, at the other end. Such is life, when a railroad gets in the habit of "throwing it in" to a city or town that does not scrap it. To the Astoria Public. At our regular meeting of this date (May 27th), it was the universal ex pression of our membership that we regret the action taken by the bust ness men of our city in cancelling Decoration Day as a holiday.

No Reduced Rates The Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company will issue no re duced rates for the Rose Festival at Portland this year. It is claimed tha the "two-cent fare now in force on that line, brings the cost of travel hence to the metropolis, on a level with all other roads who are sharing "three cents" per mile and make a reduction of one-third in their normal rates.

Another point upon the naval constructors expect to be in formed by the shooting at the turret is the effect upon the turning me chanism upon that great mass of steel and the various electrical and other devices inside of a low of the 12-inch shot on the outside. Much of this mechanism is fastened to the wall of the tourret by belts and other means and it is apprehended that a smashing shot delivered outside the turret wall and opposite one of these instruments will Send that apparatus flying across the turret, putting that part of out of action. The experimenters will also test a new design of miiltary mast which has been erected on the stern of the Florida. The mast has a base of 24 feet in diameter, tapering to. the base of a 12-foot platform at the top. The purpose of the mast is to furnish aa observation point for officers. The construction of these masts of steel is regarded as defective.

Fine Fire Quarters i It would be a hard matter to find in all the State of Oregon, any com munitv that can honestly boast a nicer, cosier, and better kept set of fire building than Astoria owns and maintains. From the handsome head quarters on Commercial street, all down the line through the three other stations, every house and room is in perfect order and clean and fresh as a rigidly kept sanitarium.
