but practical men to take held of the
concern.

Efforti Are Legitimate
The story in the Astorinn yesterday
telling of the efforts being made to
secure price or option on much of
the property in the center of the city
naturally attracted much attention.
It is said that in a few day it may be
possible to announce just what there
i back of the matter. One man.

means, said yesterday that it is not
desired to get any waterfront prop
erty, nothing nearer the river than
Bond street or Astor ttrect.
Going Out of Business
Max Stral is selling out hi cloth
ing and general store on West Com
mercial street and does not intend to
engage in that line of business in the
future. Mr. Stral ha been in the
clothing business in Astoria for many
year and his friends will now regret
to learn of the cause that impels him
to close up his ; store. Mrs. Stral
is seriously ill and may riot last many
weeks longer and for that reason
Mr. Stral does not care to stay at his
business. He says later he may open
up some little business of a different
kind, enough to engage his time and
attention in a jninor way.
Card Of Thanki.
Astoria, Or.; Feb. 25. 1909.
To Seaside Lodge No. 12, A. O. U. W.
and the Grand Lodge of Oregon
A. O. U. W,
Gentlemen I desire to express
my sincere appreciation for the
promptitude with which you have
discharged your financial obligation.
As you know my husband, Ludwig
Hartwig, was taken away from me
on Sunday evening the 21st of this
month, and this morning, to my sur
prise, I was handed a draft for the
amount of his insurance, two thou
sand ($2000) dollars, by the officers
of the Lodge. Yours sincerely,
BARBARA HARTWIG.
Mr. Hartwiir ioined the order on
March 10, 1879, at the age of 48
years. His insurance, including local
lodec dues, cost htm $1006.90 or an
average of $33.56 per year, for $2000,
which is $16.78 per thousand. What
old line company will insure a man
aged 48 years for this sum.
Mr- Hartwig was the oldest mem
ber of Seaside Lodge consequently
he paid the maximum into the lodge
to date.
Viewer! Meet
George A. Nelson, T. R. Davi and
J. E. Ferguson, the viewers who were
appointed by the common council to
examine into the matter of opening a
road through block 69 in McClure',
met yesterday morning and looked
over the ground, At the present time
Grand avenue a it run through the
McClure addition, and the tame thor
oughfare as it run through the
Shively addition, do not meet, but
form a little jog. When each addi
tion was laid out the platting wa
done with but little thought of the
streets, and now it it deemed best
to straighten out (hi jog. The view
er are to lay out the street aero
the block so a to make a more direct
connection. ,
Not For Three Months
The atmointmcnt of an additional
judge for thi end of the Fifth Judic
ial Circuit will not be made for about
three month yet, as the measure
doe not become law until the expi
ration of 90 days from the time of
the closing of the legislature. The
appointment of the judge seems to be
attracting much attention and Gov
ernor Benson it already being impor
tuned by friend of the respective
candidates. The name of Attorney
Howard M. Brownell has been men
tioned in connection with the mat
ter. "I am a comoarativcly young
man in year," said Mr. Brownell
last night, "and a comparatively
young man in practice of the law,
and perhap I am not too modest
when I tay that 1 think I am hardly
well enough qualified for such an im
portant position as that of circuit
judge. I am not a candidate in any
sense of the word,"
Franchise la Signed
Mayor Smith signed the franchise
granting right of way and other priv
ilege to the Oregon Coast Electric
Company, yesterday, and the matter
is now completed as far as the city
ii concerned, F. L. Evan, the pro
motor of the project, has started for
the cast and a copy of the engrossed
ordinance will be sent to him there,
At the meeting of the council Mon
day night the franchise was amended
in various particulars, and hence it
became necessary to write it all over
again. The engrossed ordinance wa
yesterday read over by the city at
torney, , Mr. Abercrombic, and Judge
Anderson, and after it was found to
be all right the mayor appended his
signature. In every way the local
holding concern has now lived up to
its part of the project and it remain
for the promoter to secure the money
which he ha constantly averred was
all in readme for the building of
the line. But if by any chance Mr.
Evans fails to get the finances the
holding company will at once turn to
others and there is every confidence
that the line will be built within a
reasonably short time.
Trial At Warrenton
The trial of Fred Broemser at
Warrenton vesterday. wherein he is
charged with using "profane, obscene
and vulgar language," to Mrs. W. J.
Kastahrook. was not completed ow
ing to the absence of one of the
important witnesses. The case is at
tracting much attention there, and
the little court room was crowded
vestrdav when the case was called-
The complaint against Broemser was
sworn out by the city marshal, and
Attorney I. A. Eakin of this city is
prosecuting the matter. Attorney
Browne is defending. Ihe com
plaint states that Broemser, who is
well known in this citv and is now
an employee of Coffey's grocery store
at Warrenton, used the bad language
to Mrs. Eastabrook while in the
store. Mrs. Eastabrook is the wife
of Judge Eastabrook, who is hearing
the action. It is understood that
young Broemser vigorously denies
that he is guilty as charged, ihe trial
will be taken up again March 13.
Vancouver Wins
The hovs of the Vancouver basket-
hall team ran off with the game
against the team of the Astoria Ath
letic rinh last nicrht. bv the score of
31 to 12. The Vancouver five seemed
to be the faster of the two aggrega
tions, and the local boys probably
can have no protest coming with the
result. In a way it may do tne tocai
boys good, for they learned what it
is to run up against a fast team that
also docs first class team work, kick
etts, manager of the Vancouver team,
playing center, was one of the stars
'tho rnntest. while Harrv Harbert
of the home team also showed up in
his usual fine form, the Astoria
boys made their 12 points by six foul
goal throws, counting six points, and
three field throws to goal, making tne
The Vancouver boys made
the largest part of their score by
straight field throws, Having no tew
er than 13 of these, and securing the
other five points on foul goals. 1 he
was Hvelv and snirited and the
big audience was well pleased. The
circus seats were tilled and an nan
a chance to see the game in excellent
shape.

SOCIATi UNDERWAY
SECRET ASSEMBLAGE HELD
AT COURT HOUSE, WED
NESDAY NIGHT LAST.
There developed in this city yes
terday a fact that ha been held
"under the rose" tince last Wednes
day night, cloicly guarded by those
that took part in it, and thought to
be secure from general knowledge,
tin it suffered from the usual "leak"
and i now practically, public prop
erty. . .
A movement wa started, in i tur-
reptitou way, for the organization of
a "Merchants' Mutual Protective M
4nri:.tion." in other word, a merger
of the men and businese of Astoria,
committed to the proposition ot
mipnintr nn this citv to the old-time
day and condition. Invitation were
quietly passed around wherever it
was thouoht thev would be welcome,
and the call wa backed by the quiet
caution to "keep it still'; tne aate
was Ged for last Wednesday night,
and the place named wa the County
Court room, which wa granted tne
rcactionarie for the purposes of the
meeting.
Af thr hour snecificd there were
probably a dozen people at the court
house (if that many), and included
in W rrnwit were Dr. W. C. Logan,
ex-Councilman, and present Police
Commissioner; George JUDotn, ai
hert Dunbar. Sam E. Harris. F. M.
Cross, Charles F. Wise and Julius
VVilbcrg, with enough otners to mane
thr Rakers' ratio alluded to. The
members of the city press were abso
lutely barred and ignored and espec
ial nain taken to keen them at a
distance; the embargo including all
members of the Civic League, ana
intnn. mmnrrteit of havinir church
i "
affiliations of any sort The mere
fact that not a whisper was allowed
tn eseaoe. before, or after, the meet
ing, indicates beyond all argument
that the affair was secretly ocvisea,
carefully submerged and jealously
shielded.
Pnlii-e Commissioner Logan presided
over the meeting with hit usual abil
ity and adaptability. Speeches of the
rveninir were made bv the gentlemen
present on the issues in hand; and dur
ing the evening a resolution is said
to have passed providing that at a
subsequent meeting, all present stood
pledged to bring another member
with him; probably with the idea of
building the strength of the move
ment upon the "endless chain" idea.
Th Momiiiff Astorian reerets its
inability to give the details of the ses
sion, owing to the barriers set up
nirainst the reoorters of this and all
other papers in the city; but taking
its cue from the genial chairman ot
the rveninir. it is directed to say that
the trend of the movement is to "es
tablish a mutuality, a unity of purpose,
amnntr the businessmen of Astoria,
looking to the early acquirement here
of a number of wholesale nouses,
Mr nr. etc.. etc. All of which, or
as much of which, may be believed
by the thoughtful citizen as he de
sires to swallow.
1 is understood that the slogan
adopted at this meeting runs thus
wise: "If anyone asks you about
this, tell 'em you was'nt there!" And
nnon this shrewd and appropriate un
derstanding, adjournment was taken
to an indefinite day and nour, wnen
th hiah-siirn will be eiven and the
conclave will re-assemble to perfect
exact and agreed details lor a general
"ivwle-nnen town" campaign, which
will be started, in a public way, by a
petition, signed by such merchants
and citizens as are of that notion, for
presentment to the Common Council
of this city, urging mat sucn aamin
isirative strns he taken bv that body
as shall remove the impediments now
existing, and for the passing ot sucn
niters to the notice and the depart
ment officers, as shall throw down
the barrier. .
DIFFICULT TO DRAW.
A teacher asked her class to draw
a picture of that which they wished
to be when they grew up, and all went
dilligently to work except one little
girl, who only chewed her pencil.
"Don't you know what you wapt
to be when you grow up, Anna?"
asked the teacher.
"Yet. I know." replied the little
girl, "but I don't know how to draw
it. I want to be married." (From
'Success Magine")
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. Open day and night. Com

LOTS OF ROOM NEEDED.
It is a curious fact that the invari
able first thought of a British jack
tar when landing from a cruise is to
get on a horse. For purposes of eco- J
nomy one animal frequently serves
for two or three grinning sailor boys.
Recently a sailor from the fleet of
British warships that accompanied
the Prince of Wales to Quebec, ap
proached the keeper of a down-town
iivery stable and asked for a horse.
"For riding or driving?" asked the
liveryman.
"We'll be goin' aboard of 'im," re
sponded the sailor.
"What kind of a horse do you
want," continued the liverman
"black, white chestnut, sorrel lively,
or gentle?"
"Stow all that", said the sailor;
"what I'm after is a good long one.
There's eight of us a-going on 'im."
