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

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 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.
