The opening of , Mr. Waterman' mercantile venture in Astoria, the variety store that it to be housed in the Cutbirth building at the south east corner of Ninth and Commer cial streets,' has been put off until one week from Thursday, December 3rd, next.

The business for this month will probably be three times as great as during the first month From 100 to 150 a day Is the average number )haf' calls for tampa or oth er1 postal requirements, and this in dicates that the establishment of the station in the center of the town has proven a wise step.

Old boxes, logs, and much of the debris that has gathered dur ing: the summer was swept out into the surging river and carried away. The tides were very high and have attracted much attention.

U i "4 I Football Game An interesting game of football was ptayed Sunday between the West Astoria and the Scow Bay teams, both composed of boys about IS or 16 years of age. Neither side managed to score during the game, btu Scow Bay perhaps showed the better work, by keeping the ball in West Astoria's territory. The star players were Thompson and Johnson for West Astoria and Clark, Benoit and Carlson for the Scow Bayites. Beaver Build Dam .The discovery' has just teen made that a colony of beaver have made their habitation on Cullaby creek, and have commenced to construct a dam. Already they have cut quite a number Of trees. and; evidently are preparing to make a fine place out of it, '!t is to be hoped that the hunt ers and trappers can be kept away from these beaver, as they are be coming scarcer and scarcer yearly. The state laws provide an especially heavy punishment for killing or trap ping beaver, and now that it is known that these beaver are on Cul laby creek a close watch will be kept to see that they are not destroyed. There are, however, one or more trappers in the neighborhood. . Splendid Concert Excursion , On ; Thursday . morning - at 10 o'clock there will leave this city for Skamokawa and Cathlamet, one of the most interesting excursions of the year, under the auspices) of the Norwegian 1 Singing' Society. That fine body of singers accompanied arid assisted by Miss Esther Sund quist, as violin soloist, will charter a stcamer (probably one of ; the ." Bab bklge fleet) and will give the first of two splendid concerts, at Skamo kawa, at 2:30 o'clock in the after noon! 'going thence to Cathlamet'in time to repeat the concert there in the evening and return home within reasonable hours.

ASTORIA'S RELIABLE charge of 50 cents, which covert the round-trip and both concerts; sure ly the most reasonable charge .ever made for such a generous deal.

' : -! ' ' ,:i v Burning Kiln : .' For the past several months two young men who are experts in the manufacture of porcelain and pot tery wares have been making ex periemnts with the clays to be found in this locality, and yesterday they completed the burning of their first kiln.. It proved reasonably success ful, it is announced. The two gentle men are W. A. Potter and Hector Desjardins, and for several days past their burning of the kiln in a vacant house near Tenth and Frank lin has caused much interest and a little excitement in that neighbor hood. Flames shooting out of the chimney at all hours of the day and night naturally' attracted attention, and one or two excited - observers hastily, sent' in claims, to the fire de partment, Mr. Potter and Mr. Des jardins stated last evening that their first kiln came out all right, though the porcelain was slightly "off col or," having a slight yellowish tinge. This can be rectified by the use of a whitening mixture. It is proposed to establish a. manufactury here for the making of porcelain articles, and it is understood that several Astorian gentlemen stand ready to ad vance the necessary capital in : the event that the experiments turned out successfully. Mr. . Desjardins and Mr. Potter are both expert brick makers, - also. It is proptised to manufacture porcelain for use around electric lights and other similar fixtures, if the plan is car ried outr and it is stated that there is a vast market for these articles. At present they are necessarily ship ped from the east. " ' ! READ SWINTON AD, PAGE 4.
