The Ilwaco broke a blade of her pro peller yesterday afternoon when com ing In past Sand Island. The sudden Jerk threw things about a good deal, but the steamer continued on her way to the wharf. The damage will be re paired Immediately. ' Sing Lung, 365 Third street, carries a full line of Japanese and Chinese goods, novelties, curios, ladles' underwear made to order, at low prices. Thousands of foreign people, says the Telegram, will visit the fair at Chi cago, and the demand for Columbia river salmon will undoubtedly be great. This demand will also cause the price of fish to rise, and If the cannerymen desire to secure them Jhey will have to pay well for them. Wing, Lee & Co.carry a full line of Jap anese and Chinese fancy goods, novelties and curios. Ladies' underwear made to order. 629 Third street. The Astorlan Is delivered at Ilwaco and points along the railroad by Homer Fletcher, a young man who has cred itably filled the responsible position of pressman in this office for more than a year. He will be found accomodating and trustworthy by those who may en trust him with business in this city for them, and this Is Intended as a per sonal guarantee of his honesty by the proprietor of this paper.

In Its notice of the service of Maun dy Thursday at the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran church, the Bucket announces part of the musical program and proceeds thusly: "The Lord's Supper. Monday and Thursday by Rev. L. Nlsson." The reverend gen tleman and the members of his con gregation are still wondering whether this was a coarse Joke or the inevit able result of unequalled density. See Swope & Slater about your spring work. They are the swiftest, cheapest and best paperhangers and decorators on the coast. The Rev. Mr. Nlssen writes The As torlan: "Today Is the day In which the whole Christian world gather them kneeling under the bloody cross of Christ on Calvery Hill. Let us remem ber that day by keeping It holy as the most holy day In the year. Let us lay down our tools, close our stores, offices and , factories,, and gather before the face of the living God, praising and lov ing Him for the forglvenness of our sins, and his everlasting blessings. In the blood of Christ" - Swope & Slater will be pleased to furnish estimates on interior decora tion to all who call or address 459 Fourth street. , . , . f " W. Willis Everette, of Tacoma, has made what promises to be another use ful discovery. It consists of a solution for preserving and keeping fruit, and is the result of eight years' experiment ing. Dr. Everette claims that the solu tion will keep fruit for any length of time in the exact state In which it was when placed therein. This Includes Colorflavor and original freshness of the fruit. He considers that the crown ing feature of his discovery is the fact that fruit kept in the preparation Is in no way injured or spoiled for eating purposes. If you want some extra tine photos, Mooers' is the place to get them. The Astorlan received yesterday from B. S. Pague, the Portland forecast of ficial, in charge of the Oregon state weather service, the first of his series of weekly weather bulletins for this year. This Is the fifth year of these bulletins. The Oregon World's Fair commissioners have made arrange ments with the weather bureau to have telem-ached to Chicago on Tuesday of each week a resume of the weather and condition of crops throughout the state. The past week has not been favorable for sowing grain in any of the diner Pnt counties, from which reports were received by the weather bureau, owing to the more or less heavy rains. The cool weather has in many places retard ed the growth of grass and vegetation. Men Whose Names Carry Weight. (Continued.) The opinions of the gentlemen quoted below cannot but strengthen the posi tion of The Astorlan on the advisabil ity of licensing gambling: Mr. Theodore Bracker I do not fa vor a license the Imposition of which would operate to give any one or two persons the exclusive right to conduct gambling houses, but If the proposed ordinance should - result beneficially and keep gambling under control," by all means give it a trial. Mr. P. Stokes I favor the gambling ordinance. By all means license it, since past experience has shown that the evil cannot be crushed out. Mr. N. Schlussel I have spoken once before on this subject, and see no rea son why I should change my mind. I do not favor the imposition of a li cense which shall be prohibitive in its effect, but if an ordinance were framed for a moderate license, I would lend my moral support to its passage. Captain B. F. Packard -I did not use the language attributed to me in the Budget. What I said was this: "I do not gamble, nor do I believe in lt."I will addf however.to The Astorlan that any measure which will do away with gambling or mitigate the evil, I would approve of. Mr. J. Stokes If a man wants to en gage In the business of gambling, make him pay for It. I can quote many cases In which boys have been taught to gamble in places not recognized as gambling houses. If an ordinance is passed, I should think that the more advisable way would be to license the game and not the house. Mr. H. G. Mallett I am heartily in favor of the enorcement of the state law, but If the gambling ordinance re sulted in abating the evil the condition of affairs would be bettered. I sftve this opinion, while averse, on moral grounds, to licensing what Is undoubtedly a vice. Mr. W.G. Johnson-I am thoroughly In accord with the position of The As torlan on the subject. Fully understand ing your position that is, being op posed to gambling, but in favor of mitigating the evil by any measure I say, let the council Impose a high li cense. Mr. C. H. Cooper If gambling could be suppressed entirely, I would en dorse any means to that end. The gam bling ordinance is purely an experi ment, and one which the council can make or not as may seem to them best for the city. Rev.-Father Dlelman was next called upon. He received the reporter with courtesy, but whjle he would not con demn the ordinance,, he manifested a disinclination to be interviewed on the question. During the conversation which ensued the reverend gentleman spoke of the proneness of human na ture to Indulge In gambling atid other vices, and said that while the passage of the proposed ordinance might re sult in. shutting up some of the gam bling houses; it was doubtful whether the law would even then be enforced. "Men will gamble," Bald he. "I have seen miners after a hard week's work come from the mines to town on Satur day night and never rest satisfied un til their week's earnings were squan dered; i have seen Boldlers time and again take the few dollars they receive monthly and make for the gaming ta ble; I have been a witness of the ex citement at Spa during the day when gambling at that place was conducted amid scenes of dazzling magnificence, under the protection of the Belgian government, and I have come to the conclusion that you cannot stop gam bling unless the Inclinations of men tendln that direction. Many regard any interference on the part of the law as an interference with their per ponal rights and liberties, but of course the laws of the land must be obeyed." Concluding, the reverend gentleman, said: I would only say at this time that I am in doubt. Mr. D. Shanahan, one of the gentle men interviewed by the Budget, when called upon by an Astorlan reporter, stated that he had been misquoted. "I am not averse to licensing gambling, but if such a law were passed I am of the opinion that it would be a fairer way to Impose a moderate license so that all who desire to conduct gam bling houses could do so. Hon. John Fox I think that there should be a Btate law permitting gam bling, and that each city should pass an ordinance providing for the Imposi tion of such a license as would materially increase the revenue of that city. Then each city should have a competent Inspector whose duty it would be to Judge of the fairness of all games of chance, and prosecute to the utmost extent of the law any who should be detected in robbing. Were such a law as this enacted, the local and telegraphic columns of The As torlan would not contain, from time to time, accounts of the robbery of some honest farmer by the vampires who prey upon the unsuspecting ones. "We would not hear of shortages in the ac counts of trusted employes, nor would boys be robbed or taught to gamble. If the sentiment of the majority is in fa vor of gambling, people will Indulge in it as a pastime and for the excitement it affords, and nothing will prevent them. Therefore, I say, regulate gam bling and have it conducted in a fair manner." Mr. Fox further stated that while In the legislature he wanted to Introduce such a blll.but the sentiment was so strong against such a course that It was useless to make the at tempt. Judge C. H. Page I am opposed to the licensing of gambling to the same extent that I would be opposed to licensing adultery, murder or any other crime under the statute. The fact that any law of the land is not enforced la not, to my mind, an excuse, and whenever any government, as a matter of expediency, has to resort for revenue to maintain Itself by licensing crime under whatever name. It Is time for the people to create a rebellion or revolution. Any law that has. not the moral support of the majority of those that are governed will be a fail, ure. , Another On The Right Track. (Astoria Examiner.) What a lot of moral cowards Astoria contains? They are in the pulpit, in the saloons, and In public office. They all know, or should know, that gambling goes on in spite of a strict state law; yet they wink at it, derive an indirect revenue from it, and get out in the street and shout, "Don't license gam bling!" Then they crawl Into their holes, and gambling begins ere the echo of their shout dies away. The majority of the community is against licensing or tolerating gam bling, yet that majority has been un able for "sixteen years to enforce its opinion agalriBt a powerful minority. Why? -Because there is no force In ornamental opinions. This is a quality the temperance and anti-gambling element-does not seem to possess; if it does it is dormant Gambling is a crime. It Is demoral izing, and should be suppressed. Public morals should never be so low that they will cover the crime of gambling with hypocrisy. It should never come to pass that the ordained minister of God would take the' hand of a dive keeper and be led like a blind man Into the ditch. And this, for the sole pur pose of gambling and ruining In the dark. When such things can be, there Is1 need of wise counsel, decisive action and common sense. Ryan & Co. 637, Third street, have Just received a full line of 1893 patterns in wall paper, and comprising all the latest designs- and shades, at the low est prices. Call and see them. J. H. Da Force returned Wednesday evening from an extended visit along the Atlantic coast from New York to Booth Bay, Maine. Mr. De Force's visit East was for the purpose of securing the most improved machinery for the manufacture of fish oil. For many years he has utilized the refuse of the salmon canneries near this city for this purpose. But the appliances he had were imperfect and he could not ex tract all of the oil from the material, and besides the manufacture generated odors that proved notoriously offensive to the nostrils of those who were com pelled to pass the oil works on their way into the country for a breat h of fresh air Mr. De Force """finds that' "Eastern ' fac tories when they manufacture oil from menhaden and pogles have greatly im proved machinery that completely ex tracts the oil from the fish by hydraul ic pressure and at the same time does away almost entirely with the offensive odors. He has purchased some $4,000 worth of machinery and expects to receive It in early ' April. Mr. De Force declares that he' will be able to manufacture oil that will - be pure enough for table use. It Is to be hoped that his enterprise will be rewarded with success and the breeze that sweeps his works may be laden with a balmy fragrance that will be refreshing to the passerby. Mr. De Force hopes that he may be able to dispose of the pressed cake after extracting the oil, for fetll izing purposes , or . by molding in smaller blocks, and encasing In tin foil he may to a great extent supplant the llmburger cheese of commerce. 1 The ladles of the library will hold a literary reception on Saturday evening, April 1st at the' library rooms at 8 o'clock.
