Still Improving The intersection of Twelfth and Duane street is at this writing simply a 'hole in the air." The down-town street work docs not seem to be done in parcels, with gangways for teams and pedestrians, as was the case some time ago. It is nothing now-a-days to block up a thoroughfare for a week at a time, and there is growing com plaint about it. Fourth of July Parade The Goddess of Liberty together with the children to represent the different States of the Union for the Fourth of July parade will be se lected, and taken charge of by Su perintendent Clark of .the Astoria schools. A contest will be inaugu rated among the children for the po sition of queen and the liberty car will be elaborately, decorated. Good Opportunity The Chamber of Commerce has re ceived an inquiry from a Michigan man who desires a tract of land on which he can locate from 50 to 100 families of Germans. Members of the Chamber interested can secure full information at the office. If some one has a tract of tidcland about ready for settling for dairy purposes, this seems to be a good opportunity. New Sanitarium It was credibly rumored in this city yesterday that the Oregon Adventists intend to erect a beautiful rest-sanitarium on their land immediately south of the fine properties recently acquired and developed by the Dc Laura Beach Company. The institu tion will be of the same class and service' as the fine resort they own and maintain at Mt. Tabor. New Business Venture Astoria is to have another plumb ing establishment. Messrs. E. S. Younce and W. F. Baker, both prac tical and expert workmen in this line will open a business house at No. 126 Eighth street, opposite the postoffice, where orders may be left for tinning, plumbing, steam and gas fitting, and all phases of such service, with a cer tainty of getting it done with guar anteed workmanship and all rational despatch. Evie To Trawl Again The schooner Gerald C. has return ed to port from her trawling expedi tion, with a manifestly small load 01 fish, all of which .were, however, fine for marketing, fresh and lucious. The schooner Evie will be shipped and leave out today for the deep-sea grounds. The business will not be abandoned by Mr. Obee and his asso ciates, until it has been demonstrated that there are no deep-sea fish in nearby ocean waters; which is not likely to prove the case. Of Interest To Mariners Nautical Expert John MtNulty, of the lighthouse service, advises the press that the British steamship Ori ana, Captain Jarvis, commanding, has reported to his office, the sighting, on April 3rd, in latitude 26 min., 20 sec, N. longitude 141 nini. 11 sec. W., a submerged schooner of about 60 feet in length, with top-sides washed away, and her ribs projecting three or four feet out of the water. This would place the derelict in the Tropic of Cancer, and in mid-Facific, Deeds That Passed Hcrmosa Park Investment Co. to J..D. Kennedy, lots 11 and 12 in block 22, Hermosa Park, for $10. M. J.

Hamilton, 40 acres, sec. 27-6-9, $300., Star Changes Hands There is a natural sort of look about the Star theatre these days with Mr. and Mrs. Al. Hager in the lobby as of old. They have leased the house and will take it over on the 15th instant. It is their intention to open it with stock business, having the Ashtou Stock Company, which re cently completed a six-months en gagement in Portland, under con tract for a season of good plays. Mr. Fritz will be missed from the stand, for he has tried hard to make the Star popular and has succeeded admirably. Star Theatre The management of the Star Thea tre this week offering their patrons one of the best vaudeville entertain ments ever witnessed in Astoria, the acts are all good, and are well worth the time of anyone's to pay this popular theatre a visit, A special feature in the way of motion pictures will be shown next Friday, Saturday and Sunday, also at ! the matinees where the pictures showing the great Atlantic fleet passing the Columbia river on Battleship day will be given. The pictures were taken from the steamer Roanoke, and are said to be extremely interesting. Attraction In Chief The Fourth of July Committee yes terday received an affirmative re sponse from Hon. Charles W. Fulton, to its request that he serve as ora tor of the day on the occasion of the great celebration of the national holiday. This is pleasing news and his assignment may be classed as the leading attraction of a day that is to be charged with an abundance of in teresting and entertaining things. Mr. r ulton $ acceptance of the task of honoring the day from the rostrum lends assurance" of the perfect dis pensing of that essential feature and will bring pleasure to all concerned. Astoria Regatta At the meeting of the regatta com mittee that was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms last night, it was decided by a majority of one, to have regatta this year. Nothing definite was arranged however toward it, ex cepting that, H. R. Hoefler and S. M. Gallagher were appointed a commit tee of two to select their chairman. The regatta committee have also agreed to turn over to the Fourth of July committee "the i$400 that they have had in the treasury since last year's regatta, and which was handed over to them by the Fourth of July committee after the celebration last year. Astoria O. N. G. Word has been received by C. H. Abercrombie from W. E. Finzer, adjutant-general, of the Oregon Na tional Guard, that the board would meet some time this week to consider the application for the establishment of a company in this city, and ex pressed his opinion that there would be no doubt but that they would act favorably on the matter. General Finzer also informed Mr. Abercrom bie that the company would not get the old equipment which they now have on hand, but will receive an en tire new outfit. However, it will be some time yet before It will be re ceived as it is being shipped from Washington. Stole The1 "Monogram" A , Salem man, who-shall be name less, was in the city yesterday, and in the course of conversation with a reporter of this paper, emphatically denied the 'yarn that it was the "Salem Hog" that stole the eight-foot monogram from the rear of the O. A. C. train as it passed-through that city on its way to Corvallis the other day when the lads and lasses of the Agri cultural College were homing it from their exhibition drills at the Rose Festival. He says it "was overlooked by the "Portland , Swine," a'nd was captured on a telegraphic order from the metropolis, by a Portlander who happened to be in the Capital City missionarying for the removal of the State Fair to Portland. Leinenweber-Van Tuyl Nuptials At 10 o'clock this morning, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary H. Leinenweber, 425 Exchange street, in this city, there will occur the happy ceremony which is to unite for life, the destinies of Miss Ida Eugenia Liencnweber and Mr. Richard Harry Van Tuyl, both of this city and both widely popular.

F. Lein enweber of Portland. The home is beautifully decorated for the pleasant event.
