The contractors for the erction tu
the ew station building for the la

losing no time in the carrying out of
their contract. The concrete fountia
tion has been completed and the work

on the superstructure commence!.
Much of the material is on the ground
and presents a business like appear
ance and an assurance that the com

a new station building at an early

much appreciated by the people of
Astoria.

A gang of men belonging to me
O. R. & N. railway shops at ion-

yesterday went to work painting the

powerful compressor and is sprayed
on the building, covering about a

and is a stood thing to keep well away
from if one doesn't want a sudden

No Instructions Yet
Inquiry at the Astoria postotnee
elicits the fact that no instructions
have been received there as to the
reported new ruling of the depart
ment in relation to mutilated stamps,
and their refusal by the postal au
thorities, save as they have always
existed. Deputy Postmaster Heil
born does not know of the issuance
of such order, though it may have been
made and not yet reached this ottice.
So he was unable to say whether the
Government intended to redeem mu-
tilatd stamps where they were no,
wantonly torn or defaced.
Business And Pleasure-
Messrs. John H. and A. M. Smit
the well known brothers and attor
leys of this city, left up for Portland
last evening on the 6:10 express, arm
ed with an odd admixture of law
hooks and hunting paraphernalia.
They will stop in the metropolis for
today, to try a case in the federal
rnnrt. and at the earliest moment
nossible will leave there for their old
home up the Williamette Valley, to
hunt pheasants for the balance of the
i week. They expect to be back by
Monday, but have made no promises
as to the distribution of the game
they will bring home, which may be
just as well, considering the wmc
range of friends amenable to supply
here.
reauired. The prevailing idea is that
the long causeway may be carefully
and adequately repaired by cutting ot!
the piling at low-water mark, ami
building it up on new brents, with
bracing to - match, and that new
piling is not requisite at this time.
There is always the question
whether floating timbers knock out
such new work- as this super-struc
tural building, and if it is best to
limit tn the full re-euuiohicnt of the
route, as the council proposes; and
all sides and bearings will be given
due, personal attention and weight at
the conference and examination that
will be held and made today. If the
simoler and cheaper process will do,
the owners will ask an abatement of
the order and design; if not, they
will take what further steps are es
sential in-case.
