Repairs To Adair Drain
City Surveyor Tec and. Street Su

A communication to the council ask
ing if the authority given them to act
on the Adair dram was to be con
strued as to mean the entire drain or
only that portion referred to in a

made throughout the expense will be
great, ' '

Unsatisfactory Condition
Fishing at Coos Bay is in some
what an unsatisfactory condition.
There is a clash between the
canners and the fishermen's
union and a settlement of the matter
involved cannot be made. The price
of fish is the bone of contention.
Twenty cents each for silvcrsides
and SO cents for Chinooks is what
the fishermen demand and which the
canners will not pay, and but a few
men from this section are fishing,
the union men of Coos Bay refusing
to do so.

be delivered under some arrangement
that enables that concern to secure,

For Splendid Cause-
In an effort to raise money for the
uses of the free public library, the
ladies of the library association will
hold a sale of pies, cakes and other
good things to eat Saturday (tomor
row), morning. The sale and display
of the edibles will be in the big fine
show windows, of the Astoria furni
ture store, formerly Heilborn's, and
the event is expected to prove quite a
successful one. ' All who wish to give
any fine samples of the cookery art
may do so, and the donations will
be thankfully received. The library
receives comparatively very little aid
and ther is constant need for money
with which to, buy new books. The
adies of the assoc.ation therefor plan
to give one or more entertainments
or sales of the nature yearly.
