w tMmmemmamimiimmimrmrrrnm ii I m mil iKBaaMWBttflMtB iiiiai BRIGHTO BEACH ! ASTOEIA. OREGON: MONDAY . J PLY 21. 1890 TO SIGHTS SCHOOL MEETING. aEIBIIIIIIIlHIIIieilSSIIEtUIGI E:i:3::xaaaissEiiaiiiiaiiiiiaii9B At to-night's school meeting in district Ja One, there are no officers to be elected; it will be nothing but levying a tax and discussing a high school and other trivial business, so that not over six or eight may be ex pected to attend. "When the final question of. building the $36,000 school house came up, there -were but seven at thftoneeting; four voted for it, three against it There oaght, however, be a full room at to-night's school meeting. The matter of school facilities is of the utmost importance. It concerns everybody, no matter whether they have children, or are going to have them, or don't propose to have them. If they don't, others probably will, and upon the "raising" of those chil dren depends a good deal regarding Astoria. As a business proposition it pays to have a good school Aside from duty, at is shrewd financial wisdom to see that boys and girls, who will be men and women soon, are given 'a chance to learn something. These boys and girls of yours or somebody's else, ought to have a fair show to learn to'read so that you can listen to them with some degree of pleasure; to write, so that you can readily read what they have written; to add a colnmn of figures so that the chances favoY the correctness of the total. This is not asking much, yet it is more than a good many children are getting. It doesn't make any differ ence whether you call it a high school or a low school, if the results are not in accordance with the poorest and plainest and most meager require ments the school is not an unqualified success. ir all- these requirements arc met in the Court Street school; it there is no overcrowding in the lower rooms; it the little folks have a fair show to get a few crumbs from the educa tional table; if your boy or girl has what it should have, and for which you or somebody else pays taxes to 83cure; then, by all means, let us in crease the sphere of the schools usefulness; let us have a "high school;" let us raise somebody's sal ary and lighten somebody's duties. But if the school needs improve ment in the primary department; if there is overcrowding in the lower rooms and neglect of the first require ments in a primary school, let us be just before we are generous, and give the "three'E's," a chance before we begin work on the upper stories. A man who builds a house usually puts in a floor, and builds a stairs, be fore putting on an ornamental facade and stained glass windows in tho,tlurd story. The eternal fitness of things should be observed in school matters as in other things. Shoes full of holes, ragged trousers and one suspender to keep the courage and the trousers up, do not harmonize with a diamond shirt stud and a silk hat. Duty to the many demands that the primary wants of that school and other schools should not be disregarded. If all that should be done for the child ren in the primary and intermediate rooms is done; it the teachers in these rooms are getting sufficient salar ies; it the results are satisfactory to the parents, let us immediately deviso ways and means to have "a high school." If not, let us be just to the many before being generous to the few. A BIG CONCLAVE. The largest gathering of Odd Pel lows that the world has ever seen will take place at Chicago next month. It will bo the triennial meeting of the grand lodge and the grand Triennial Cantonment of Patriarchs Militant of the L O. O. P. For over six weeks the local committees have been hold ing daily meetings and working to provide for the transportation of the visitors. and their comfort and con venience while in the city. The lowest rates ever known in railroad history have been granted to the Odd Fellows on all the routes from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf, and the rates which have been conceded by the local hotel proprietors are, in many cases, little 3Boro than nominaL The city council has granted permission for the tem porary erection on the lake front of an saphitheater, with a frontage of fifteen thousand feet, and which will be large enough to hold an audience of 30,000 people. The largest halls in the city have all been retained, and the Lake Front park will be fenced in for the purpose ot the prize drilL Advices received up to date by Brigadier General J. P, F-llacolt, chairman of the reception committee, are to the effect that over 15,000 patriarchs, in uniform, and 50,000 Odd Fellows proper have already decided to take part in the ere&t, and the probabilities are that tfek Bamber will be largely increased. With the visitors, and relatives and frieads they will bring with them, it is estimated that fully 250,000 strangers w31 be in Chicago during the canton eatweek. Delegates will be there from England, Germany, France and other countries. The prizes to be Bscedforthe drills aggregate $27, 0. The great parade, which is fixed fer Thursday, August 7tb, is expected io be of a character never equalled in -fee country. There are 425,000 Odd .IfeBows within fifteen hours ride of QiiGago alone, and it is expected that a frrJincnfTnntnrn pride will induce I aXy imp hnlf of these to turn out for &e ecoaeoB. All the reports received i fts Laid Out by H. F. L. Logan ROEB & PARKER, General Agents, hy the local committee indicate that extraordinary interest is being mani fested in the conclave at far distant points, so much so that many small towns far down in the south and in the extreme west and northwest will send from four to live hundred Odd Fellows each. Tiie decline in the mackerel catch on our Atlantic coast is met by the announcement of the establishment of a mackerel industry on the Cali fornia coast An enterprising jobber of Los Angeles, according to the Times of that city, saw the opening which existed and began catching mackerel off Catalina island and salt ing them as is done in the east. The twenty barrels put up were utilized as samples, and made such -an im pression that "it was determined to put up a supply for the trade this year." The season's pack already has commenced at Catalina, and it prom ises to be very successful. The only trouble with the fishes is an embar rcssmeut of riches. The schools of fish enconntcred are so vast that it is imossible to draw a net around one, and, as only a portion is included in the sweep, they get started on a run like a flock of sheep, and the major portion escape, "When a small school is encountered the seining is more successful. This season's pack will be from 500 to 1,000 barrels of fish, and it is expected to supply orders as far east as Denver, and possibly Kansas City. The fish are said to be very fine, ranking with the imported brand. A host unique controversy is located in California, says the Helena Journal. The editor of the Humboldt Times was robbed by a highwayman. The editor mentioned his loss in his paper, and philosophized on the cattses lead ing men to crime. The robber, from a safe distance, replied to the editor's article, and opened up quite a discus sion, finally assuring the editor that if he needed the money more than the robber did, the sum would be re funded. The editor is trying to prove that he actually needs the amount, while the highwayman continues to write interesting articles on the theory of crime, and an amicable adjustment of financial and theoretical differences seems far away. The exploring party pent out by the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences discovers that not Popocate detl, but its neighbor, Orizaba, is the highest north American mountain. Is Consumption Incurable? Head the follewing: Mr. C. II. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy sictans pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive. .Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am no.w on 1113' third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made.' Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption I would have died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health." Try it. Sample bottles free at J. W. Conn's Drug Store. Ice cream at .Jeffs new restaurant. Private entrance. A. $1,000 BET. The. memorandum ot an agree ment made in Astoria, Oregon, this lSth da- of July, 1890, by and between Herman Wise and J. Ash, witnesseth: that each of the parties hereto have deposited with Mr. C. J. Trenchard of said city, the sum of $500, and that it is mutually agreed between the par ties hereto, that if. the sales of said Herman Wise, at his clothing es tablishment at JG9 and 471 Second street, in said city, shall exceed the full sum of $15,000 within the next sixty days from the date hereof, all of the total sum of 1,000, deposited as aforesaid, shall be paid to said Herman Wise, on his affording said C. J. Trenchard satisfactory evidence that his sales have in said period exceeded said amount and that if said sales do not in said period exceed said amount, said total sum of 1,000 is to be paid said J. Ash. Witness our hands and seals the day and year first above written. Herman Wise. J. Ash. Signed in presence of C. J. Curtis, Notary Public for Oregon. seal Herman Wise is not a betting man, but Mr. Ash was bragging so much about the amount of bus iness done by certain houses on the Sound, that Mr. Wise offered to bet 500 that he can sell just as much clothing as any retail clothing house on Puget Sound. This is a matter of home pride, and as Herman Wise offers his entire stock at cost, rather than lose the bet, it is safe to say that Astorians generally will help themselves and their town, by helping Mr. Wise Jo win this $1,000.
