There are too many places In this city
selling wraps and Jackets. Many of the
garments sold here are shop worn, and
come out of retail stores In other cities
on account of being stale, but are sold

10 years I have been selling Jackets and
wraps of the first grades at much lower
prices than any house In Portland, and
have never yet deceived any customer In
order to make a sale. Considering that
the city is overcrowUed with this par

day close out all Jackets and wraps at
wholesale prices.

'BUSINESS IN CHICAGO.
Traveler Tells Some Interesting Facts
OI the Windy City.
Mr. W. H. Fiske, who represents the
large Importing house of John M. Locke
& Co., Chicago, arrived in Astoria yester
day on a business trip. Mr. Fiske la a
most experienced man in his line of work,
and yearly covers a very large ter
ritory, to an Astorlan representative said:
"I have had a very pleasant trip so far,
having been out from Chicago since July.
Business 1 ngeneral, I think, is greatly
improving, crop prospects are good and
money and collections are easier. There
have been large stocks carried over from
last year, but merchants are again buy
ing to eome extent.
"Astoria is one of the liveliest business
towns I have found on my trip and for
its population is doing a large and ap
parently prosperous trade. Tho new rail
road which you are building will no doubt
largely augment your population 'and gen
eral business within the next few years
and with your grand seaport It would
eeem that there Is no limit to the possi
bilities of your future."
"How is business in Chicago?"
"Business in Chicago Is good In all lines
of commerce and building and improve
ments going on are simply marvelous.
You know we Chicagoans believe in Chi
cago, and certainly there Is no city on the
continent that has so many fine business
palaces, such line hotels and so many
and such perfect lines of transportation.
Besides the hundreds of miles of surface
cable lines there are the new west and
scuth sldte elevated steam and electric
double track railroads. The Metropolitan
Is the name of the new elevated elec
tric line, which is operated by the stor
age battery system.
"A new plan is now being put Into exe
cution, In the center of the city, by which
transfer can be made on a single plat
form by means of a loop system, from
any line of road to any other line in
the city. This will of course be a great
saving of time and trouble to the business
man and be a. boone to the stranger un
familiar with the city's ways and her
different car lines.
"Construction Is to commence at once
on the new postofilce building, which Is
to be a magnificent structure on the site
of the old one on the block bounded by
Adams, 'Jackson, Clark and Dearborn
streets. During construction a temporary
building will be put up at the foot of
Randolph street, where Uncle Sam's busi
ness will be conducted while the new
building Is being erected.
"New f"ky scrapers are going up daily.
Old fashioned buildings are being torn
down, though In most cities they would
be considered as first class, to make
place for the modern structures, and It
does not take long to make the change.

The department stores are killing the
small retailers whose places of business,

MEN LURED TO STARVATION
A Salvation Army OlHcer Graphic
ally Describes the Pitiful Con
dition of Affairs in the
Boom City.
Mr. James Weston, who has for sev
eral ears been prominently Identified
with the progress of the Salvation Army
on the Pacific coast, reached Astoria yes
terday after an absence of several
months. He has spent moat of the past
year on Puget sound, and a conversation
with him opens up many interesting top
ics. Mr. Weston's close connection with
the "food and shelter" department of
the army work has given htm a keen
insight into men and things, and makes
his observations very valuable, no matter
to what subject they refer. He says that
Tacma and Port Townsend are undoubt
edly the most lively cities In the state
of Washington, and he firmly believes
In the future of both localities. The
former city has been helped wonderful
of late by her China tea trade and he
has been very favorably Impressed in
deed with the bright and enthusiastic
manner in which the business men ot
Tacoma seize on and make the most of
any advantage that comes In their way,
"Astoria," remarked Mr. Weston
"wants a good dead more of the Tacoma
spirit, and a big epidemic of liberal and
public spirited action before she can
hope to become a thriving metropo.is.
This Salvation Army officer, however,
has seen some sad and pitiful things in
other parts of the Sound and tells In
an Interesting Way of the poverty and
destitution existing in the city of Seattle
He says:
"I have been In charge of the Army'
food and shelter work in that town for
some months and am in a position to
know and gauge the extent of this desti
tution and to arrive at the cause for
as well. The Seattle canal project is at
the bottom of the Whole mischief. Thi
scheme originated In an earnest and
honorable manner by the citizens of be
attle, who after great personal effort
raised a handsome subsidy for Its Incep
tion, has fallen into the hands of un
scrupulous men who are making all they
can out of It with no regard for the out
come. The work, which involves an
expenditure of $7,000,000, is being carried
on at the present time by certainly no
more than thirty laborers and one dred
geiabout as big a force as would be
needed to repair a sewer in a. moderate
sized town. Out of this molehill the rail
roads and newspapers of Seattle are
making a remarnab.y b,g mountain
They are booming the Immensity of the
project in every possible way, and every
day the trains are landing In the city
dozens of men with large famines wno
come from Kansas and a half dozen other
states, lured by railroad advertisements,
which hold out hopes of work on this
canal with good pay for an indefinite
ueriod.
Nine-tenths of these people arrive in Se
attle absolutely destitute. They find that
they have been basely deceived, and as a
last resort apply to the Salvation Army
for shelter' and food. The town is over
run with hungry men who cannot find
work '. Iln imy .mission 'trips through
the poorer localities I have during the
last few months come across ooi.ie or tne
most pitiful cases of destitution that
have ever known, and the worst of it
is that beyond what little relief the Army
can afford to give from time to time
these people are without hope or pros
pect of employment. It Is all a crying
shame.
"The $(1,500,000 that was to have come
from St. Louis capitalists has not been
produced and (according to all that the
Army can find out there Is a very shad
owy prospect of its ever being forthcom
ing. Meantime the thirty laborers are
working away at a rate that will bring
about the completion of the canal In
about fifty years, and the railroads are
reaping a harvest by selling tickets to
workingmen In the East and midd.e
west whom they land by the score dally
In Seattle streets -without the means ot
obtaining a crust of bread. I don't wish
to be understood s In any way blaming
the citizens of Seattle for this condition
of affairs, they are individually doing
all they can to relieve the misery, and
many bankers and merchants are aiding
the Army nobly in the work of almsgiv
ing. But all they can do Is very little
and the great danger is that the Seattle
city council In its efforts to get rid
of its surplus and destitute population
will drive these people into Tacoma, As
toria, Portland and surrounding towns,
thus spreading this sad condition of
affairs into near by localities and sad
dling onto other places a burden for
wbleh the short sighted policy of Seattle
newspapers jinn ouuiiic rainiiui men
' " "'eiy re.-punb.u.e.
The canal scheme Is a fake, pure and
simple, devised by the railroads and
foisted onto an unsuspecting city. I don't
believe the project will ever be carried
to completion. We expect that this win
ter in Seattle the Army work will be
increased a thousand per cent over what
it was last year, and In tiw winter of
1894 we fed and housed 175 homeless men
and women In that town every night

CORRESPONDENCE.
Railroading in Religion Illustrated.
Knappa, Sept. 11. 1895.
The Rev. Frederick J. Edmunds of
Woodburn, Oregon, has supplied the pul
pit of the Presbyterian church here for
two Sabbaths with so much acceptance
that a call was tendered him by a
unanimous vote or tne congregation to
supply the church for a year. Rev. Ed
munds Is a genial and earnest Christian
gentleman, and we bespeak for the
church continued prosperity under his
ministrations. He is well pleased with
the spiritual and other conditions of the
church and Intends soon to enter upon
his work.
Rev. Edmunds preached at Hare in.the
forenoon last Sunday, and in the church
at 2:30 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. to large con
gregations. The subject In the afternoon
was regeneration. The main part of the
discourse was: 1st What Is regeneration
2nd Why should we be regenerated? 3rd
How may we know we have been regen
orated? The subject was bandied in
manner that brought out the full scrip
tural teachings of the doctrine. In the
evening the subject was: Freight Cars
and Christians, of which we give a brier
extract. He stated that "in the years
1889-90 there were 72,000 freight cars built
In the United States at a cost of $36,000,
000. In the opinion of careful observers
this vast amount was virtually thrown
away. Railroads need, not more cars,
but a more expeditious movement of
those already on the track. The trouble
is too many are side-tracked. Compara
tively speaking, the great need of the
church, is not much more workers, or
better workers, but diligence on the part
or tnoso proressea engaged.
"In the matter of general gifts, what
is really required is, not more talent, not
more means, but the appropriate use ot
those we have. In the language of rail
roads, greater activity, more constant use
of those already on the track. Not some
of them, but allof them. The problem
of the railroad is to keep every car mov
ing. Few realize the immense loss of
the church and the world through hur
ried talents, undeveloped resources Idle
cars. Wesley's motto was, 'all at it, and
always at it.' Every Christian ought to
be of use. No Christian has any right
to set a bad example in any particular.
He ought to carry the good news of sal
vation and bring blessings, just as the
freight car is loaded with valuable mer
chandise, so the Christian has been put
in trust with tho gospel. He to carry If
to others. A church should be a trans
portation company. It docs not exist for
itself, but for the sake of carrying on
business for the Lord Jesus Christ. A
pure heart in which the altar fire of love
to God is burning, will lay hold of the
commonest, rudest things of life, and
transmute them, like coarse fuel at the
touch of fire,, into a pure and heavenly
name.
We hope the reverend gentlemen will be
able to resurrect much burled talent here,
and utilize in such .a way that those
who have so long and are still, bearing
tne "heat and burden of the day," shall
nnu their burdens lightened. A. J. R,

Dr. F. J. Bethel, a well-known dentist
of Bakersfleld, is at the Baldwin. He
spoke yesterday of his recent triD to
Seattle: "While in Seattle," said Dr.
Bethel, "I learned of an Immense trout
hatchery to be established at Orlllln. on
Sprink Brook, about four miles north of
Kent and thirteen miles from Seattle, on
the 'Northern Pacific. Sprink Brook Is a
branch of Black River, and at the place
chosen for the enterprise it is the pur
pose of the company operating it to
construct dams, v here there are the most
springs, on the brook bottom. This in
sures a constant supply of fresh water,
and several miles of artificial lakes will
thus be secured. When the trout have
attained a certain age they will be trans
ferred to the lake next below, and so on
to the end, when they will be fit for the
market. Fifty acres of land will, be
covereU by these lakes. It is also the
pi rpose of the management to allow
fishing in the lowest lake and charge
nsnermen for what they catch. The
hatchery is to be known as the Sprink
tsrooit Trout Farm, and will be the larg
est ln the United States. San Francisco

''Certainly!" gasped the editor. "If

"That is satisfactory," interrupted the
