T. cnutter, of this city, a portion of which will be interesting to Fish and nftrtment and their mamure.nent: etit. 1 In Adair's Astoria, In Clatsop county, Game Warden McGulre. After refer- alomie clajwifWtinn and referon lie. hereby agree with each other, that If all Cduncllman McGregor was around yesterday securing signatures to the following petition; We, the undersigned owners of the north half of blocks 2, 3, 4, o, and 6, the property north and adjacent there- ring, to the stormy weather and the light run of fish, Mr. Chutter said ina ugni run aoes not worry me much, for the simple reason that I don't see how I can afford to pack salmon at the present price of raw fish. The compromise price, as you know, was five cents per pound, which Is an advance of nearly 1 cent per pound over the average price paid last year. This means an advance In the cost of the production of a case of salmon of about 60 cents. Now, If we cannot get an advance In the market "for the finished product, it looks very much as If we are out of pocket. Protector Mc Gulre need not be afraid to accept money from the packers to plnco a patrol boat on the river during the Sun. day closed teasons. I have no doubt that there Is a great deal of illegal fishing, particularly by Independent boats. In fact, very recently I've seen fish which I am certain were Illegally taken. Of course, we do not allow our partment, with samples of binding, tem porary covers and receipts for restor ing, mending and cleaning; shelf and building departments; and an architec tural exhibit showing plans, elevations, perspectives and models of the best library buildings. There wUl also be a model library of 6,000 volumes, selected from lists prepared and sent in by the various librarians of the country. The British section will be decorated In part by some seventy banners bear ing respectively the arms of different municipal corporations In the kingdom, such as London, Edenburgh, Dublin, Ayr, Canterbury, etc. The British Royal Commission Invited the corpora- Lhe owners of Bald property agreeing .hereto within six months from May 1st, :S33, will dedicate to the city and the publlo for the use of a street, a J trip of iand along the north side of said blocks sixty feet In width, as a continuation ot Eecond street, and we further agree to also Improve the same Immediately after said dedication, under the direc tion of said city, provided that the owners of lots four and five In block one, and lots one and eight . In block two, shall so Improve Dickenson Avenue as to properly connect Tnira street with Second street; provided further, that a sufficient number of property owners on Second street shall agree to tions to furnish the banners, and some open and improve said Second street to Alderbrook so that the same shall be done at once." As the advantage of opening this street are so very apparent ,no trouble Is anticipated In securing the signatures of all of the property owners. loaned those they possessed, while others had their official inslgna repro duced for the occasion.

The cut In World's Fair rates made by the Rio Grande company, has created consi'JrnatIoo and we would expect Mr. McGulre to prosecute If he found any traps open, no matter to whom they belonged." Although nothing definite has been published regarding the result of tbe conference between Mr. Remington and tbe subsidy trustees, enough has leaked out to restore the confidence of a large portion ot the citizens In the outcome of the railroad question. Mr. Reming ton leit last evening to meet some parties Interested In the matter, but be fore leaving he said that Astoria would urely have a railroad in the near fu ture. "That much I will say," he said, but there are reasons for my failure to be more explicit at this time. I will add, however, that If the Union Pacific does not build the road, I shall; and I have made all necessary arrangements to do so. Personally, I am satisfied t would be much better were the road to be built by the Union, as that would give this city transcontinental railroad connection at once; but If that company does not build, there will be no delay in resuming operations on the road. A few days will settle the question." It is Mr. Remington's intention to locate in this city, and engage in the Importing and exporting business. At the present time he is interested In a great number of manufacturing enter prises throughout Utah. which the silk threads will be spun and passed through various manipulations until they appear In the finished Bilk texture ready for the market Representative O'Donnell, of Cook county, 111., has Introduced a Dili to enable boards of education in cities having a population of over 40,000 in habitants, to establish and maintain The Queen Regent of Spain will be parental schools.
