The concern will move to the business section of the city as soon as a suitable location can he found. , Astoria Ceta Credit- British ViccConsul Edward M. Cherry, of this city, has just closed the annual report due from his post to the Home Office in F.ncland. of the conditions cxistant about this city and country, and it is understood that he has dealt very fairly and fully by the city and country in which his jurisdiction lies.

Mr. Cherry stands to make good in the post his father fill ed with honor so many years. Cement Business Her President Chris Larson, of the West Coast Cement Company, of this city with offices in the Astoria Savings Bank building, said yester day morning, to a reporter for the Astorian, that he and his colleagues, Secretary J. A. Gamble and Director O. Boren, are quietly convinced of the ultimate success of cement as one of the commanding factors in the field of construction here, since with out any advetising, or "hurrah" whatever, they did $20,000 worth of business last year, along with their other engagements. Speaking of the new store-building projected by Messrs. Foard and Stokes, at Com mercial and Sixteenth streets, he said that tentative plans and esti mate's of the structure had been drawn, but the proposition was being held in abeyance until those gentle men could negotiate the rents for the building; and .that he did not doubt the work would be done very much sooner than later. With regard to the future of cement work here, he said it would follow the universal rule, the more there was of it to do, the cheaper it would become, and the more popular. He isvery cheerful over the outlook. 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 most rational expense. These things account for the steady stream of people 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.

Unless all sign fail the money for the building of the electric line from Astoria to Seaside is alt in readiness The repeated assurances of F. L. hvans, the promotor of the enter prise, are now juttitied by the lacts that have come to light in relation to the matter, and while there are sometimes slips betwixt the cup and lip, it now appears as if the million or more in money required for the construction of the complete line is simply awaiting the time when it may be applied. So often has As toria, in common with many other towns of the Northwest, been disap pointed in like matters, that the local men interested in the plan may per haps be forgiven for the lurking doubts that may have come to them at times. But the doubts and fears now seem to be all dissipated by the thining lot of gold that seems all ready to be poured into the enter prise. At a meeting of the directors of the Oregon Coast Railway Company yesterday the local holding com panyit was decided to notify the officials of the electric line company that the requisite 80 per cent of the rights of way are now ready to be turned over; it was a part of the grecmcnt that the money was to be forthcoming within 30 days after 80 per cent of the rights of way were turn- d oyer. While, there has been some difficulty in securing some of the trips of land, the full 80 per cent has now been secured, though tnis in cludes a strip over one piece of land i against which condemnation pro ceedings have been commenced- The other 20 per cent will probably cause comparatively little trouble. Last summer it was estimated that the construction of the line to Sea side would entail a cost of $750,000 and upwards, If this three-quarters of a million dollars are now expend ed in this community that tact will spell good times it is bound to throw loose a current of money here that should make Astoria one of the busiest towns on the Pacific Coast. And it now looks as if the money is surely coming Manager Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday received from Senator Fulton a telegram, given in full in another column, an nouncing that Congress, will be" rec ommended to expend $300,000 on the bar and another $200,000 for the dredge Chinook another great snm that is to be expended in this com munity. And if there is to be con siderably over $1,000,000 spent here in the immediate future Astoria cer tainly need fear no bugaboos about hard times. On top of this are the strong possibilities of other railway building, too. A Funny Story Portland Telegram: "The appear ance at the Commercial Club yes terday noon of Dr. George E. Cham berlain, of the medical department of the United States Army, with head quarters at Ft. Stevens, coupled with the fact that he lunched with ex Councilman George S. Shepherd, a confirmed Fultonite, gave rise to the rumor that the Astoria statesman is about to plan a new scheme to de prive Governor Chamberlain of the Senatorial toga. According to gos sip around the dub, it is the plan of Senator Fulton to have Dr. Cham berlain show up in Washington on the date set for the, next United States Senator from Oregon to take his seat, and as the Legislature elect ed George E. Chamberlain,- without specifying whether he was a Gov- ernor, doctor, lawyer, oeggarman or thief, it is figured that the military physician has a fighting chance for the place." Ladies' Guild Social At the home of Mrs. Fred Fisher this afternoon will be given the last of the scries of afternoon teas held this winter by the Ladies" Guild of Grace Church. Mrs. Fisher's ability as an entertainer is well known, and this afternoon she will open her beautiful home for a social time .to the friends of Grace church. Those who will take part in the continuous round of entertainment are Mesdames R. Carruthers, G. Wood, C Trcnch- ard, C. Abcrcrombie, D. McGee, C Allen, V. Hatch, B. Van Dusen, E. Fisher, and the Misses A. Wood, A. Kirchoff, F. Estes. The affair will be unique and entertaining, and as it is the last of these socials, -a large Returned From McGowan's E. P, Noonan took a flyer over to McGowan'i to pay his respects to the patriarch of that well known and popular family and returned home yesterday, He found P. J. McGowan in very fair health and complaining ohly of a trouble in his feet, which, he said, was caused by the long use he had made of them, the old gentle man being within 25 days of his 92nd birthday, or on the 17th of March next, Mr. McGowan is as alert and interesting at ever and keeps a keen and clever touch on his large inter ests, but always with the glad hand out and a cheery word for a friend. Old Oregon Mill Out The news comes up from Warren- ton trjat the high tides of yesterday wrought additional damage to the property around that lively West Side dty, and gave the A. & C rail way people considerable trouble on several of its bridges and culverts, delaying the train service somewhat and incidentally holding up a large party of society people on their way to an elaborate function given at the home of Mrs. George Warren. It is said that the Old Oregon Mills at that place, one of the best plants in the country, will not open up again, nd that the present management has given orders for the immediate sale of all the company's logs in boom there; the prospects being that the company will go out of business and the properties be put up for sale in due course. Basketball Tonight The game of basketball fbnight at the Athletic Club between the girls of the Astoria High School and the girls' team of the Hood River High School promises to be a game of more than ordinary Interest. In the place the local girls have unquestion- bly a good team and that they have improved lately under the direction of Harry Harbert, who has been coaching them, seems evident to all who have been watching their work. Unless the Hood River team proves exceptionally strong the local girls ought to take the game. At all events the boys are willing to bet chewing gum or anything else on the home, girls. The game will not be called until 8:45, so as to give busi ness men a chance to get there, as well as ofjicrs who may be busy the early part of the evening. An admis sion fee will be charged- Back From Sunny South S. A. Gimre, the Bond street shoe merchant, returned last night from a trip to Southern California. Mr. Gimre had been gone five weeks and expressed himself as delighted with the beauties of the Southland, think ing it wonderfully fine. Mrs. Gimre and the children also liked it very much there, and they are to remain until May. Mrs. Gimre and the chil dren are now at San Bernardino. They visited Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Diego, and like most travelers who go to the latter city, also made trip over the Mexican line to the little town of Tri Juana. While it has rained much in Southern Cali fornia this winter, Mr. Gimre said there were many fine days, and he comes back rested and delighted with the journey. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Young left at the same time the Gimres did, but they parted at San Francisco, and did not see each oth er until last, Tuesday. On that day the Gimres were up on Mount Lowe, a mountain a mile high just back of Tasadena, and to their mutual surprise, while up there they met Mr. and Mrs. Young. They are com ing home slowly, and expect to be here in a week or two.
