There are 733 miles of electric wires in Astoria. About a century ago the lofty poles were taken down. The porcelain tubes through which the wires run at a distance of six feet be low the surface, are in every way sat isfactor'. The great tea and coffee house of A. H. Blackall has found it necessary fo establish ten more branches in different parts of the city. This now makes one hundred and eight stores they are running in the city. A cen tury ago they had three. The salmon canneres have struck, and say that if the fishermen dou't paythem better than they did in 1988, they won't buy any tin and won't put out any twine. They say that a general strike is ordered among all the manufacturer's unions ou the coast. The old scow, the Great Eastern more than a century ago a big steam ship, was run down by the Cunarder Goliali and sunk, near Queenstown, one day last week. The passengers on board the GoliaJi did not learn of the casualty until the intelligence was telephoned to them from the bow. The descendants of Ed. W. Wright, who was a real estate agent in this city in the closing vears of the 19th i century, held a reunion at the house i of Geo. Warren Wright last evening. ' loon, having left there at noon. ! return this morning. Thev The ornate fresco on the 2Lst story of The Astorian building is the skillful work of Brush Bros, the cel ebrated painters. They are now fresco ing the elaborate offices of the read ing rooms and restaurant of The Astorian's up town building. The contract for the work is $73,982. Thev expect to finish by the first of next April. One hundred years ago, to-day, 30,000 was raised in this city for'a motor line. Those folks who a cen tury ago strove so hard for a motor line had level heads. Thev knew how citv in the United States of 118 states and 400,000,000 people. A shipload of Chineso bibles ar rived at San Francisco last week. The books will be distributed throughout the country by the Chinese Mission- j arv society in America.

The new electric tramwav in the Astoria Art Gallery is a big success. Yesterday no less than 60,000 people stepped aboard the carsand made the round trip of the gallery, 16,000 feet in length. By takiug the tram car the 300,000 paintings can be seen in half an hour. As this is as much time as Astoria people can spare for inspect ing the old masters the value of the new improvement is quite apparent. Among the foremost institutions of the Astoria of 18S9, was the A. O. TJ. W. At a meeting of Seaside lodge, just one hundred years ago last night, G. W. Rucker was elected master workman; Adolph Johnson, foreman; F. D. Winton, overseer; AV. B. Boss, recorder. S. T. McKeau, financier; John Brvce, receiver; G. W. Boss, guide, I.W..J. L. Carlson; O. W., Ole Akse; Thos. Dealey trustee for 18 months. The wheat receipts yesterdav were 872,436 centals. Of this 561,234 cent als arrived via the Walla Walla and Vancouver air line, and 311,202 cent als by electric railway from the coast It was put in the elevators and will be sent to Vladovostok in two Bussian vessels this week. Theso vessels have 81 ampere propelling capacity, and when loaded to their capacity of twentv-five thousand ton3 each can make 275 miles per hour. The new bridge across the Colum bia, from here to Knappton, was form ally opened yesterday. It is built on the improved Trullinger truss system, and cost 837,543,000. It is for the convenience of pedestrians, only; the company, it is understood, has sold the right to vend popcorn and lemon ade, for the twelve months ending January 1st, 1991, for $175,000. It is calculated that 48,000,000 people will cross that bridge annually. Forty banana laden ships from Cen tral America arrived in Astoria yes terday via Panama canal. The flo tilla consisted of forty-four ships when it left the plantations, but two were unloaded at San Francisco, one at Newport, and one at Tillamook, to sat isfy the demand in those towns. Sev eral of the ships had a narrow escape from sinking in the canal near Sum mit, colliding with an iron freight steamer enroute for Bio Janeiro. The air-line excursion from London and Liverpool to Astoria has been a great success. The visitors, to the number of 800, arrived yesterday morning after a pleasant night's jour ney, and spent the day at Laitrel Park. They were so delighted that it is belived a regular excursion will leave London and Liverpool every Saturday night for Astoria and Alas ka. The visitors say Sunday can be spent so much more delightfully here than at home that they willingly un dertake the journey. Aiiui uitsoo iruusjruuuiubiuMmeisuuc, here to-day have arrived in the harbor, or all reported from quarantine. The new Fleetwing, 2,100 feet long, made her first annearance here, having run ! from Hong Kong in 37 hours. A wel- come improvement in this vessel is the the varietv theatre in the bow. -R0th were crowded all through the salaried companies there were many volunteers from among the passen gers, and the young lady aspirants made splendid displays of their abili ties, particularly in the first part of the variety performance. A large excursion party from the Argentine Republic and Patagonia passed through the city yesterday, en route for Alaska. They went via the Northern Pacific and Belirincr Straits railroad. The excursionists made no stops on the up trip, except to view the ruins of Tacoma by moonlight ! On their return, however, which will le by the Alaska k Arctic railway, they intend to visit the City of Frank lin, the growing metropolis of the state or Athabasca, York, the young giant on the west coast of Hudson's bay. Winnipeg and Dnluth. They ! will spend a week in Chicago and Manahatta. lrSince the consolidation of the twenty-four sub councils, the newly or ganized city council has 563 members. The mayor and council met for the first time in the auditorium last even ing. The first question was, shall the bill appropriating 8750,000 for the purchase of another corniphogara menos, pass. The members voted by touching an electric button in theii desks, which recorded the vote in front of the automatic phouograph which announced the result: 401 yeas, 162 nays. So the cornophogaramenos will bo bought. The city treasurers announced that there was $87,763, 293.43 in the city funds, The city at torney was instructed to bring suit against the councilman from the 318th ward, who had been absent from two council meetings. After an ineffect ual attempt to pass an ordinance pro hibiting the parade of the salvation army, which failed by a vote of 282 to 281, the council adjourned. Balloon burglars have become so numerous and bold in Astoria that the police authorities have decided to equip a squad of aerial patrolmen. Beliance has heretofore been placed upon the illumination of the house tops and the watchfulness of the out looks stationed in the police observa tories. But practice has shown that these outlooks cannot distinguish be tween the aero-cars of honest citizens and malefactors, and that when an occupant of an aero-car is seen de scending upon a roof it cannot be told whether he is the householder or u robber. Many citizens return from Young's river, Warrentown, Clatsop and Tanzy Point, late at night, de scending upon their roofs, and many unfortunate mistakes have been made b the police. At the same time many successful bnglaries have been committed, the prowlers alighting from their aero-cabs in the full light of the electric illuminators. It is hoped the aerial patrol will succeed in reducing the number of such thefts. Electric light balloon No. 11, sta tioned 3,000 feet in air above the cor ner of One Hundred and Ninetieth and Cass streets, was damaged by the wind storm last night, and hadto lie drawn down by the steam hoist. The great reflector, 120 feet in diameter, was not injured, but on account of the withdrawal of the 50,000 horse power electric light, which was sta tioned under it, that part of the city was at 10:30 r. m. plunged from the light of day into the darkness of a cloudy night. At 10:32 p. m., how ever, the darkened district was illum inated almost as brilliantly as before, as superintendent Carbonne, of the Electric Illumination Bureau, tele phoned his orders to the four sur rounding stations, and Balloons No. 14, 9, 17, and 22 were moved a little way out of their usual position and toward the position of the injured balloon, and the whole territory was thus so nicely lighted that people on their way home from the theaters read the 11 p. m. extras of the mid night papers as usual. A Relic of the Iat. A curious relic was exhibited to one of The Astorlvx's 426 reporters yes terday. It was a tattered piece of sat in, which was once crimson, and was evidently to commemorate a contest which happened a century ago. It appears that over a hundred years ago, there was in this city what was known as a "fire department." The good people who lived here in 1889 used to have to have men to keep their houses from burning, and great proficiency was displayed by the young men who were the progenitors of some of us who now in 19S9, wonder, what they meant by "steam fire engines." Now adays our property is practically inde structible by fire, the invention of Exforth in 1914, making all building material positively non-inflammable, and destroying the combustible ele ments of material connected there with. It appears that in September of one of the closing years of the 19th cen tury, the Astoria "fire department" met a number of competing teams at Tacoma, and won all the principal prizes. Even a century ago Astoria was aneaa. now it wonia surprise the Astorians of that day to see the Astoria of December, 1939! The old piece of satin is, indeed, an interesting relic. It is the property of Mr. Albert Considme. His great grandfathers uncle named Carey, or Barry, or Ber ry, was captain of the team 'that won those contests, a century ago. Rheumatism originates in lactic acid in the blood, which settling in the joints causes the pains and aches of the dis ease.

The beer pipe line burst three miles from this city, under the waters of John Days this afternoon, The fishermen, who first observed the break, did not re port it on shore, but sent word to their friends to come out. The fish catch to-day was the lightest ever known in these waters. THE NORTH POLE DISCOVERED. TJppernivik, Greenland, Dec. 6. The American aerial polar exploring ship, the Pole, arrived here this even ing. The north pole has been dis covered. Lieutenant Glass and his whole command alighted at the very pole, where they spent tho night. The pole was reached on the loth of last month, after a terrible experience in an arctic storm. No lives were lost, and the whole party returns in good health. .Lieutenant Glass had plenty of supplies on hand and stopped here only to cable to his government the news of his wonderful success. He and his men are so impatient to xeauu iuc uuuuu. oiuiea mut iney passed hero only thirty minutes, and are now en route for Boston, where they may be expected to-morrow. There was a great surprise here over the nrrival of the Pole, as it was thought she had certainly been lost, with all hands on board. The native who shipped from this point is a hero among his fellows, and will probably be elected president of Greenland at the next election. The American flag with 148 stars is flying from the pole. FRIGHTFUL MASSACRE BY CHINESE. Tacoma, Dec. G. An unpremedi ated slaughter of whites took place today along the course of what used to be Coal Creek. The details are necessarily meager, for communica tion has been cut off. There had been no provocation by the whites. They have been peaceable and indus trious for many years. The Chinese seemed to be the same. But yesterday they appeared to swing back into dark ages. AVith a combined movement they went through the white settle ments slaying the old, destroying the children, and terrorizing the niiddle--aged. The punishment in some in stances is said to have been agoniz ing. The torture of the shot gun and the barbarous bayonet were used with telling effect. When these failed to do the work the Chineso resorted to the ancient plan of administering opium. In one street fifteen were found drugged to death, while in the five-story marble hotel recentlv PrPff Pi m WnVhh srxppf: fhp rmpsts were taken to the tower and saturated witli inflammable substances, which were then fired and the poor victims ?ent hurling through space like burn-1 in fir fnrrri e I ,&-- Nearly two hun dxed have perished in various ways, while the torturers danced about the scene, beating drums and singing some of the airs from the ' "Pirates,"' the "Mikado' and other, ancient airs, thus making death doub ly terrible. the operatives in the populous iudus-, Kl;l uaiul'lB- Tho lYipnsnro w.ns mor with general acclamation when it was lirst proposed, now some eighty years ' ago.
