Badly Burned Word' wa received in this city yes trrdity of the serious burning of Electrician James Duff", who is serv ing at Fort Steven. It seem he had just lit an oil stove when the thing burst into flame catching hi hands and shoulders and scorching them se verely, His wife's presence of mind in the instant use of blanket to mother the flames, spared him a worse contact with the fire. Communal Telephone Company At a meeting of the Young's River Telephone Company stockholder held in til is city yesterday. J. F. Bar toklus wa elected president; T. S Corncliu, vice-president; W. C. A Pohl, secretary; with George Rich ardson, J. F. Christian and J. P. Ryan, as director.

' Wat Pretty Cold ; On Friday night the thermometer kept by Mr. Lamar of the Western Union office, the official government instrument, showed the lowest regi tration at 18 degree. It is probable that up on the hillside the thermom etert showed a lower reading than that, at the great body of water in the river seem to have a tendency to prevent extreme of temperature near it. At 11 o'clock last night the thermometer at the Astorian office showed a reading of 23 degrees. For The Jetty- According to a Washington dis patch Senator Fulton had a confer ence with the Chief of Engineers with reference to the necessity for imme diate appropriations for river and harbor work in Oregon. He learned that the river and harbor committee had called on the engineers for a re port as to the necessity of only three projects in the country, one of them at the mouth of the Columbia River. The Chief of Engineers says that $3000 is absolutely necessary for the maintenance of that project, but he need an additional $1,000,000 to car ry the work ahead and will strongly urge that this amount be provided. He also believes it essential that suf ficient appropriations be made to re pair and put in commission the dredge Chinook. Busiest Man In Town , The busiest man 4n the city the past few days has been D. F. Mc Gee, general manager of the street car system, and by constantly keep ing at it ha succeeded jn keeping the cars going. At times they did not run very rapidly nor very regularily, but nevertheless they at no time were completely stopped, . Mr. McGee im provised a triangular shaped snow shovel, pulled by two"horses, and by constantly running this over the tracks much of the snow was kept off. It is calculated that approxi mately six inches of snow has fallen, Word From Warrenton The good Word comes up from Warrenton that the D. L. Kelly mills are to open up tomorrow morning with a full crew aiid plenty of busi ness, after a shut-down of three week for general repairing. -The young people of the Christian En deavor Society in the West Side me tropolis gave a delightful sociable last evening and it was largely attended and most thoroughly enjoyed. There was an impromptu ball given last night at the Warrenton Hotel under the auspices of the younger cult of society there, which was a very genuine success. , Birds Are Suffering The poor birds are the real suffer ers hereabout trom the wild storm that has whitened the world and hid den their customary sources of supply of food, and there is not a man, woman nor child in Astoria but will try to meet the exigency by casting everything possible, by way of waste food, to the streets and yards, that these helpless little friends may find '.and utilize it, Yesterday afternoon, a Apple gider 1 Delicious Fresh Apple Cider ' 35c " Per Gallon Scholfield, Mattson Co. phone iisi GOOD GOODS 120 TO 124 TWELFTH STREET the Chamber of Commerce The first regular meeting of Chamber of Commerce this year which will also be the annual meet ing, will take place tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock in the meeting room of that organization. There probably will not be any election of officers, however, because the special com mittee to which was referred all mat ters of ways and means, will have a resolution before this meeting advis ing that the election of officers be postponed until the last meeting in March. April 1 is the end of the fiscal year for the promotion work and it seems to this committee that such a change in the election this year is most advisable and there is no doubt but that the resolution of fered by the committee will be in dorsed and adopted by the Chamber. The annual reports of the president, secretary and promotion committee will be heard detailing the work of the past year and making recom- mendations for the year now opening. Needed Correction On November 6th, last, a young Dane of this city by the name of N. C, Hansen, accompanied by his wife, left this city for Copenhagen, Den mark, via the A. & C. Railway and connections to the East, and sailed from New York City on the steam sfiip Oscar II, on the 16th of that month. Some days later the A; & C. officials were advised by cable from Denmark that Hansen had died and wa buried on- the high seas, Yester day, the company received another wire from New York stating that the previous information was erroneous, the blunder arising from some confu sion on the ship's books. His friends in" Astoria will be glad to know of the mistake, however deplorable it may have been in the making. The young people got through safely and happily. It Sworn In Chris Schmidt, who was declared elected to the council from the Second ward for the fowtryear term as a result of the recount Friday night, yesterday received his certifi cate of election and was sworn in. Mr. Schmidt came down town yes terday morning and found it almost impossible to pass along the streets, so many were the friends who stop ped to congratulate him. While there was natural sympathy for his oppon ent who had been counted out, nev ertheless many were genuinely glad to see Mr. Schmidt take the office, and much will be expected from him as a councilman. Mr. Schmidt has demostrated that he has very much of a mmd of bis own, and he remain ed "sot" in his determination not to contest the seat until the circum stances of the day changed condi tions in a very material manner. Train And Wira Service- Up to midnight last night the city of Astoria was in full touch with the outer world via A. & C. train service and the wires of the Postal Telegraph Company and the Western Union Telegraph Company, and also on the telephone system of the Pacific States Company. The severity of the storm prevailing all of yesterday did not promise any certain immunity this morning, but it is hoped to main tain full service in all directions if possible. The wash-out gap on the A, & C. between Warrenton and Hammond was closed and trains ran as usual yesterday. The telephone wires, along with the poles are said to be down between McGowan't and Fort Columbia and the Western Union office could not pick up Mc- Gowan's yesterday at any time. So, for the time being, Astoria has little to complain of in the way of trans? portation or transmission. The schedule liners between this city and Portland and way points, on the riv er, are not doing business at all just now. 1 Piano Number with each 55 Purchase Your If so see a Plumber; but don't wait untii you catch cold, buy an Overcoat now!

Boy 's Suits, that is Short Pants 1-2 Off ; How's This for a Cut l Astoria's Reliable Clothier "Babea In Toyland" Despite the threatening weather conditions, the Astoria theatre was almost filled last night to greet thf beautiful musical extravaganza 'Babe3 in Toyland," than which nothing pret tier in its line had played here this winter. The music was dainty and catchy and the whole scheme of the thing one most pronouncedly enjoy able. There was a laugh running over the house during every moment the curtain was up, and when it was down there was a happy string of commendatory comment afoot all over the house. It is one of those plays that appeals to the pleasurable instincts and makes grown men and women remember the days and pranks of childhood, and the musical score is simply delicious. Eddie Red way's Alan; Nellie Barnaby's Jane, and Will Hatter's Toymaker, were strong, clever and engrossing per formanccs and these people were splendidly supported on all sides. There was not a moment that lacked its full measure of delight throughoui the evening and this clever company will be long and happily remembered in Astoria, where a cordial welcome will await them whensoever they shall come this way.
