The Astoria Real Estate Exchange Is out this morning with an advertise ment of lots In an excellent addition to the city. These, as will be seen, In an other column, are offered for sale on very easy terms. The Public Library's stock of books Is gradually growing. There is now no doubt that the decision to change from their old quarters and open In new and eomodious rooms, was a very wise move on the part of the lady man agers. , Mr. R. R. H. Rhodes, of Pacific county, Wash., in renewing his sub scription to the Astorian is kind enough to say: "The Astorian Is al ways a welcome arrival, and a clean safe family paper, as well as one full of the latest, most profitable, and In teresting news." The schooner Lizzie Prien left Neha Jom Siinilav morning for California with 180,000 feet of lumber. She sailed out over the bar with a clear fifteen feet of water, again demonstrating the fact that Nehalem harbor is a safe, and easy anchorage for vessels. An other schooner starts up from San Francisco to load at the new mill next week. . A call has been Issued by the leading sportsmen of Portland, Albany and Salem and other cities to the rod and gun clubs of Oregon. The purpose of Jhe call Is to effect an organization of a state association. Each club In the state Is requested to send delegates to attend the meeting, which Is to be held at Salem Friday, March 10th. In ad dition to delegates from the several rod and gun clubs, individual sports men and all in sympathy with the movement are Invited to be present at this meeting. Captain Gray of this city sends the following communication to the Port land Telegram: "My attetlon has been attracted to an article under the head of 'Our Vast Timber Wealth,' copied from the Lumberman, and the average number of feet per acre, viz., 20,000 feet given in that estimate is Is, In my opin ion, scarcely one half the amount that (should be given to the credit of Clat sop county. If the estimate given by the Lumberman of the amount of tim ber in the other counties of Oregon are as much below the correct figures, I would suggest that the several cham bers of commerce, boards of trade or pther organizations should at once ap point committees composed of com petent timber cruisers, who, from their knowledge, can make a correct report, to rectify such gross error and give to our state the credit due her." The Oregonian says: "In regard to the appointment of Mr. Myers as fish omimlssioner to the World's Fair, Gov ernor Pennoyer said 'I have made the appointment and I Intend to stay with it. I know what I am doing, and I do not thlr,k that I have made a mistake in selecting Mr. Myers to represent the fishing industries of this state on the World's Fair commission. Mr. Myers received the appointment entirely with out solicitation on his part, and I feel confident that he will fill the position with credit to himself and honor to his state..' "Those who know Oregon's erratic governor are of the opinion that he will not be swerved from his purpose in a mater of import by all the resolutions that can be poured upon him." There would seem to be a degree of uncertainty and vagueness In regard to JEFF'S, The 0.!j Restaurant. THE DAILY ' UXJLta L in the Morning to Avoid the Afternoon some of the laws passed by the late legislative body. Under the head of "In a Cad Fix," the Salem Statesman Bays: "Those who have looked up the new school laws give It as their opinion that things are left In a decidedly bad way for the school districts In cities affected by the new law. The law Is now In effect and proves that some notice should have been give on Feb ruary 1, to make the assessment valid. Of course this notice cannot now be given and there Is no possibility of making the assessment by the time re quired, so there can be no levy for school purposes this year, they say, which will leave the districts without funds or authority to contract Indebt edness on bonds." Sam Simmons," says yesterday's Orr egonlan,, yesterday arrested Lung Hung Chung, who Is wanted In Astoria to answer to a charge of assault with intent to kill.- About a week ago Chung was playing tan In a gambling house, I when a dispute arose. With an Iron bar he almost brained another China man, after which he made his escape. The Astoria officers could not find him, and surmising that he had come to Portland, they telegraphed a descrip tion of him to the officers here. Tester day afternoon the two detectives went into the Chinese theater, at Second and Alder streets, and there saw the wanted man sitting in a box witnessing the play. They took him into custody and he will be held at the city Jail until an officer from Astoria arrives to take care of him." the close of 1892. Rev. F. K. Van Tassel completed the second year of his pastorate over the Baptist con gregation of this city, and on Christ mas day preached what he supposed was his closing sermon to this charge. He was told, at once by certain Influ ential members of the church that he had made a mistake In severing his connection with them, and they begged him to return to the work. During the two months that have elapsed since the step was taken, hhe church has made on attempt to secure another pastor, and several times has called upon Mr. Van Tassel to officiate In the capacity of a pastor by way of preach ing and baptizing candidates. Several of fers of new fields came to him at once, none of which were accepted; but he was looking toward California, until the unexpected visit paid him on Tues day evening of last week by the mem bers of his congregation. The demon stration of that evening caused him to feel that his work was not yet finished In Astoria, and after meditating upon the question of duty until Sunday last he concluded to take up the work where It was laid down, until other and stronger reasons may be seen for leaving. One Important departure from the custom of churches will be made. Pastor Van Tassel voluntarHy relinquishes all stated salary, and pro poses to work entirely for the spirit ual Interest of the people, trusting wholly to the free-will offerings that shall be made to his support by the church and people. He proposes to ban ish the collection plates, relieve the of ficials of the onerous burden of solicit ing subscriptions, and accept no longer any help rrorn the board of home mis sions. Viewed from a business standpoint, he runs a great risk of financial loss, as his salary was his only living, but he believes that his master will Inspire the hearts of the people not to let him come to want. There will be a box for free-will offerings at either of the In ner doors of the church, and beside It envelops for contributions, all of which will go to the paBtor for his support. The current expenses will be raised by other methods, and will not be large. A strict account will be kept of all the offerings, and a statement made on the first Sunday of each month.
