Sams Old Storm-
Writing from 'he Continental Ho
tel, at Petaluma, Cul., under date of
last Thursday, Hon. II. B. Parker, of
this city, says, that the storm has had
possession of things down In Califor
nia just about a it has up here; that
the bottom lands all about the San
Francisco bay country are inundated
and practically impassible with mud
everywhere on and off the roads. The
low green hills about San Francisco
are getting green and look very beau
tiful just now. Mr. and Mr. Andrew
Young left him on Thursday last to go
to Los Angeles for the balance of the
winter. Mr. Parker ia now in Paso
Roble.
He Has His Faith
There it one salient feature about
the coming of C. W, Waterman to
this city. And that is that he brought
his faith with him and exemplifies it
by buying $8000 wotth of real prop
erty here, as well as bringing in a big
stock of goods aa a primary invest
ment. The deeda passed yesterday
whereby Mr, 'Waterman becomes the
owner of the Montgomery property
on the northwest corner of the inter
section of Duane and Ninth streets,
being the south 75 feet of lots 5 and
6 of block 27, McCIure't Astoria.
Over County Roads
W. A. Goodin, the contractor, who
started for the Bain mill near Gear
hart by way of Olney, reached there
late Sunday evening, having success
fully gotten over the muddy and
flooded county roads with his heavy
wagon and four horse team. Mr.
Goodin drove ahead in "a light buggy,
The trip was commenced early Sun
day morning, and at about 7 o'clock
that evening he passed the Louns
berry ranch, where Mr. Lounsberry
talked with Mr. Goodin about his
trip.
Basketball Tonight
The game of basketball at the
Athletic Club tonight promises to be
an interesting and exciting one and
invitation is given for any and .all
to attend. The game will be between
a team from the Athletic Club and a
team selecte from among the follow
ing: J. C. Hale, J. L. Hale, C. Hale, C.
C. Hale, McCowan, Trlese, Ver
hause, Beck, and Pat Triese,
all of whom are telephone em
ployees. The "Five Brothers" team
is not to play this time. The tele
phone boys know the game well and
though they lack in concerted prac
tice, expect to put up a spirited con
test. ,
Rural Free Delivery-
Notice of the establishment of a
free delivery route at Warrenton has
been received there.. The rqute cov
ert a distance of nearly 19 miles and
supplies 76 families. The carrier will
start at Warrenton and go east at far
as the C. S. Brown place, then over
to Skipanon by the cross county road,
then north and west to the Dean
place this is the old J. F. Kindred
place up toward Ft. Stevens, the old
road to the lighthouse then retrace
to Spikanon and south to the old
Allen place, and then back to War
renton. Owing to the roundabout
way it is thought the carrier will
leave Warrenton after the arrival of
the moning train. There will be quite
a little red-tape yet, getting the car
rier appointed.
Big Shoe Sale.
We have a large assortment of odds
and ends in men's, women's and chil
dren's shoes which we are clearing
out at greatly reduced prices. If you
need shoes this is the time to buy and
save money. Cfias, V. Brown, the
family shoe man.
The Man Who Eats.
The man who eats does so with the
expectation of being satisfied. To
this end he seeks the best possible
place to gratify his normal appetite at
the most rational expense. These ac
counts for the steady stream of peo
ple to and from the portals of the
Palace Restaurant in this city. The
reputation of the Palace is founded
immoveably upon the certainty and
amplitude of the service it renders to
every purse, and appetite, big and
little. Open day and night. Com'

building. '
TELEPHONE RATES ARE
SATISFACTORY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AL
SO CONSIDERS DEEPENING
OP COLUMBIA BAR.
At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night the question of
the telephone rates came up for dis
cussion, and the matter ended by the
Chamber unanimously endorsing the
rates established by the company for
its proposed new service. At a mat
ter of fact there bat been little com
plaint beard of the rates among peo
ple generally, and at the meeting last
night the objections voiced were
mainly against the old party lines in
stead of against the fees to be charg
ed for the new system. The com
pany was represented by the local
manager, Mr. Brunold, and a repre
sentative from the Portland office.
The action of the Chamber of Com
merce in endorsing the charges for
the new service will probably definite
ly set at rest any further discussion
of the matter, and it was brought out
at the meeting that the rates are the
tame aa charged in other cities of the
approximate size of Astoria.
Mayor Smith was present and
stated that if there had been any ser
ious complaint made he would have
taken the matter up for the city in t
formal manner, as the company's
franchise provides that its rates here
shall be the same as charged in other
cities of like or approximate size in
Oregon and Washington.
Another matter of importance that
arose for consideration at the ses
sion last night waa the question of
deepening the bar. A resolution was
made in furtherance of a report
made by Mr. Whyte that a conven
tion be called in this city for the pur
pose of seriously taking up the mat
ter. It is presumably desired that all
cities in the northwest which would
be directly or more remotely interest
ed in the deepening of the bar be in
vited to participate in this Astoria
convention. A " committee of four
gentlemen was appointed on the con
vention Judge Taylor, Mayor Smith
and Messrs. Finlayson and Evans. It
was also voted that the state legisla
ture be asked to memorialize Con
gress to the end that a dredge be im
mediately sent here to work on the
bar.
In a speech that thoroughly cover
ed the whole ground Judge Taylor
reviewed the efforts that have been
made to deepen the bar, and the atti
tude that Portland has always taken
in the matter. He and others pointed
out that if the bar be deepened, great
vessel can enter the port of Astoria;
but Portland has always insisted that
if the bar be deepened that the river
between this city and the metropolis
be also deepened.
Considering herself alone, Astoria
does not care whether the river be
deepened or not, as long as the bar is
put in shape for the big vessels.
But Portland does not apparently
want the bar deepened unless the
river be made deeper at the same
time.
The old arguments, pro and con,
that have been threshed over a hun
dred times in the Chamber of Com
merce and on the streets were touch
ed upon, and the supposed hatred
that Portland also bears to this city
was also reviewed. At all events a
committee has been appointed to
work on the question of calling a
convention, with the ultimate purpose
in view of trying to secure $10,000,000
from the government for the deepen
ing of the bar.
The memorial to the state legisla
ture, asking it to memorialize the
federal congress, also will 'ask that an
appropriation be made to provide for
survey for the proposed north
jetty.

amputated. The job was done with
neatness and dispatch, while young

anesthetic and bis nerve or lack of
nerves was such at to cause remark
among those present Brown hurt his
finger in a trivial manner recently and
to help things along poured some
pure carbolic on the scratch. The
white spot that appeared didn't look
just right so he poured on more car
bolic acid, and later he hurt the finger
again. Gangrene set in and the oper
ation became necessary.
