mercantile venture in Astoria, the
variety store that it to be housed in
the Cutbirth building at the south

one week from Thursday, December
3rd, next. Mr. Waterman is up to
his very, eyes . In the preliminaries
and Is, handling tons of merchandise
and getting it In shape for display
and sate; and the work compels the
extending of the time for opening,
from the 28th of this month to the
date named. He is going to have a
very attractive establishment and
plenty of essential and handsome
things to offering when the hour does

May Be True : '
According to claims marie by sonic
of the active followers of Mr. Smith
in hi enndidncy for the mayoralty, it
was yUriay stated that 31 of the
50 saloonkeepers in . the city will be
for Mr, Smitli.; This fact is alleged
to Irnve been ascertained "by actual
count. If true, the saloonkeepers
nr probably for an open town and
evidently think that their chances
for this would be better under Mr.
Smith than with Mr. Elmore. I
Postal Sub-Station ,
According to "Mr, Whitman, the
subcostal station , in the Whitman
book store it being thoroughly well
patronized. 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.

Has Not Yet Arrived ;
Chairman Lorimer, of the Rivera
and Harbors Committee in Congres
has been expected in this' city. for
several days and the Engineers'
steamer Arago has been waiting to
convev him tn the irttv imon-i visif
of inspection but his sudden illness
in Portland has interfered with hi
arrival here. Major Mclndoe, .. in
charge of the jetty work here, is now
in New Orleans as a witness in an
important case pending there, but
he has left orders that every cour
tesy and convenience be extended
to Congressma Lorimer; and this
will be emphasized by the Astoria
Chamber ,of Commerce, which yes
terday sent the ailing statesman a
message to the following effect: "We
would be pleased to give you every
facility, to examine jetty work and
to secure other information. Will
you telegraph date of arrived?" An
answer to this inquiry is looked for
momentarily and when it comes
steps will be taken to make things
agreeable for Mr. Lorimer and his
party. , , :

Tide Cleanse Shores ' - i
The big tide have: helped finely
in cleaning the tide lands along the
city's shores during the past few
days. 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. In some
places the cleansing was so thor
ough that observers wished that they
might coma bftener. 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

kawa, at 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon! 'going thence to Cathlamet'in

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. " ' !
