The Curtla Ordinance-
Today is the tenth day since the
passage of the Curtis ordinance by
the common council, and unless it is
vetoed by Mayor Smith today it will
stand as law. Last night Mayor
Smith said he was very reluctant to
attempt to interpose his veto upon
any matter adopted by the members
of the council, and he said he was
carefully considering what to do. It
is known that he is of the opinion
DO YOU KNOW WHY
So many people trade with us? Be
cause our ahop is clean j our meats

ity. Customere lay our prices are
right, and when they come once they
come again and bring their friends.

that the ordinance as passed it not
in the shape it should be. Of course
the real question lies deeper than the
surface objection! to the present or
diuanc. poubtlcss Mr.' Curtis ; and
the other councilinen would be glad
to have the mayor interpose hit veto
upon the present measure if he be
comes satisiiea it contains legal or
technical errors, but it is Just as
probable that they then would wish
to adopt an ordinance of the same na
ture which contained no objectionable
features.
Piano Recital
The piano recital at the First M. E.
church by Miss Hattie Wise last night
was lUtened to by a goodly number
and all agreed in pronouncing the re
cital a decided success. For one so
young Miss Wise seems to possess a
very fine ability, and probably in the
future Astoria will learn to grow
proud of her. Mrs. A. A. Finch, who
asuistcd as soloist, gave two very
pleating numbers and received much
applause. All in all the recital was
very enjoyable and those who heard
it thought it one of the pleasantest
musical events of the season.
He Wantt Two Men-
Captain Charles Stuart, of the Cape
Disappointment life saving station
was in the city yesterday looking for
couple of stalwart young men to
take the place of tome of his regulars
who have been assigned to other
posti on the coast. He wants young
men who have been in touch with salt
water, as fishermen, or who have
served in the coasting service, or in
the revenue marine, or other lines
that will make them adaptible to the
work of the department down there.
The pay is $65 per month, with a ra
tion added that is worth $9 extra.
Anyone desiring to enter the service
may do so by calling up the captain
by telephone at Fort Can by. A wage
of $74 per month is not to be sneezed
at these times.
Irving Avenue Slide-
Now that the winter rains are over
the question of the Irving avenue
slide is likely to arise very soon for
consideration by the city councif
In some particulars the slide at
Eighteenth street did not become as
bad as had been feared, though it i
bad enough. The ground is moving
slightly there yet, it is said. To the
east on Irving avenue, in Uppertown,
conditions are pretty bad and it will
be a costly job to put the street back
n proper shape. It will be necessary
for the council to decide upon some
plan to fill up the big hole at Eigh
teenth street, or else try some plan
of bridging the place. The contract
for improving the thoroughfare has
not yet been accepted by the council,
though mostly paid for.

May Appoint Reporter-
One or more copies of the law pro
viding for the appointment of an ad
ditional judge in the Fifth judicial
district have been received here. In
the original bill it was provided that
the present, court reporter was to
have the privilege of appointing any
new reporter vwhosc services might
be required fin other words, the pres
ent reporter.' Mr. Runyon, whose
home is in Portland, would have had
the right of naming the court report
er yho would serve under the new
judge. However, the Astoria attor
neys objected to this provision and
it was dually stricken out, ana. a
clause inserted providing that the new
judge shall have the privilege of ap
pointing the new court reporter.

per
Dr. Oweni-Adair was in from her
fine farm home, "Sunnymeade" yes
terday, and report! that she has just
negotiated ' a two-year lease of the
property to Messrt. Tucker and Bee
by, who have taken over the property
and will handle it to the best possible
advantage for all concerned during
that period.
The doctor tells a strange and un
welcome story of personal spite-work
which has just developed on her
place, and which, for devilish concep
tion and dirty work outrivals any
thing that has come to light in "Old
Clatsop" for many a long day.
In the big herd of fine cattle which
belongs to that place, and is owned
by Dr. Adair, was a large and valu
able Holstein cow, and this animal
was included in the list of property
turned over to the new lessees of the
"Sunnymeade" personal property, on
the first of the present month. Al
most immediately thereafter, this cow
disappeared and Messrs. Tucker and
ftccby have made constant and fruit
ers search for her all over the place
and the adjoining country, and had
all but abandoned the hunt, when on
Friday last, a clue was found in an
intolerable stench issuing from one
of the reserve haybarns on the farm,
and this being followed up. 'revealed a
state of affairs that is almost incon
ceivable. Within this structure which
had not been used for many months,
and in which but a few tons of hay
were stored), and underneath a mass
of rotting hay, and manure taken
there for the especial purpose, was
found the big Holstein, with her
throat cut, hamstrung, and her bowels
cut out and many of them opened to
permit the exodus of gases to obviate
stench as much as possible; the whole
thing indicating a well calculated,
shrewdly devised, and shamefully in
spired scheme of personal spite or re
venge. The work was done with a
pitchfork, as the marks of it were yet
evident in the debris that covered the
animal.
Doctor Adair has an excellent idea
of the authors and perpetrators (for
there must have been more than one
in the foul deed) and it is likely that
detectives and the law will be prompt
ly invoked to ferret out the real ani
mus and actors.
What of cleverness was displayed
in the unwholesome transaction, lies
in the choice of the particular build
ing for the concealment of the car
cass after the cowardly work was done
on the' unoffending animal. Its use,
and disuse, must have been well
known to the doers of this deed; it
was once the habitat, temporarily, of
one of the lessees of the farm, and
was. afterward made use of to store
surplus hay and fodder in, and was
securely locked up against ' all ordi
nary use by the people on the farm;
and its exclusive condition and loca
tion made it an admirable place for
hiding such a crime and its evidences. !
The deed and its peculiar despatch
made it very plain that it was in
spired of nothing short of spite
against the owner of the animal, and
the low cunning employed in its car
rying out thoroughly matches the
inspiration-

All who appreciate our soldier

I believe the theatre will be

Because Astorians are an ap

I have found that out myself.
There is a town way back east
where they have nothing but
knockers.
Whenever a man starts to

jump onto him. .
It is different in Astoria,where
a man spends time, energy and
money freely, all the hustlers
pull for him. . . . ,
Those who won't work for As
toria are overlooked.
Here, knockers are termed
"vinegarettes" because knockers
are sour; their milk of human
kindness has curdled and they
fell sick to their stomachs and
down in their mouths.
Fortunately Astoria has but
few "vinegarettes" that's why we
are growing so fast.

REALTY TRANSFERS
Fishermen Protesfr-
On the ground that if the ruling of
the Board of Fish Commissioners,
which closes the Willamette and
Clackamas rivers to salmon fishing
from April IS to May 1, to conform
with the law pertaining to the closed
on the Columbia, is adhered' to, that
it will deprive the Willamette and
Clackamas river fishermen from fish
ing altogether during the best part
of the season, the Clackamas county
legislative delegation and a delegation
of fishermen from that district have
entered a protest and were given a
hearing before the board of fish com
missioners in the Governor's office
yesterday afternoon. The Willamette
and Clackamas river fishermen base
their protest upon the claim that the
only fishing they now get is from
April IS to May 1, on account of the
annual rise of the Willamette river,
Svhich permits the salmon to ascend
that stream, whereas, when the Co
lumbia begins to rise the fish go up
that stream to the spawning ground.
