Schultx, and will leave on the 9th by the steamer Col umbia for California,- where he will remain about a month on a vacation. and will then go to the Hawaiian Is lands, where he will establish himself in business. A strange freak of nature was ob- served during the recent storm. A strong east wind was blowing down the river, and at the same time the clouds were blowing from the southwest tow ard the east and northeast. What ef fect this conflict between clouds and winds might have had on the weather predictions Is still an enlgma. It has been suggested that If property owners would whitewash the backs of buildings abutting on the waterfront the city would present a much hand somer appearance to visitors on fn coming Jjoats. It Is strange that prop erty owners are so Bhort-slghted as to permit the rambling old shacks In some quarters of the city on the water front to remain such scarecrows. The Oregonian says that a. car weigh Ing 54,600 pounds, and carrying a mon strous gun carriage, weighing 95.100 pounds, destined for Fort Stevens, at the mouth of the Columbia river, was coupled to the west-bound freight train which passed through Pendleton Satur day. The car was specially constructed for Its heavy load. It has eight pairs of wheels. During the recent storm when water pipes were badly frozen all over the city. School Clerk Ferguson had a very narrow escape from being blown up by the steam heating boiler In the Court Street school. The water supply pipe, having frozen up, cut up water from having frozen up, cut off the water from the boiler, while there was a heavy fire In the furnace. Some tall scrambling was done for a few minutes until the fires were drawn. What reports were received yesterday from up the river all went to show that not only was there still plenty of Ice running In the upper river, but the weather, if anything, was growing cold- er- Tn8 Lurllne succeeded In getting inrougn yesterday morning, but the Potter did nut The Thompson was put In her place, leaving Portland at 3:30, and arriving at Astoria about 8 in the evening. The ships Hawksdale and Zinlta, which left up the river day before yesterday, were oblig ed to come to anchor, one at Hal nler and the other at Bugby Hole, be cause of their Inability to plow through the Ice. The ocean steamer had to lay over In Astoria until this morning as her captain did not like to tackle the ice after dark. ROYAL tsaKing Powder. Highest ot alt In leavening Strength U. a.

The secretary reported the to tal receipts from all sources for the month of November, 12.133. It was or dered that the lease of the building now occupied by the oll'.ces of the commit slon belonging to Benjamin Young, be renewed for another term at 125 per month. On application, a permit was granted to use the city water, under the supervision of the superintendent, for sluicing purposes on Grand avenue, The payroll for the month of November was approved aa follows: Repairing wire fence, C; repairing mains, 117.03 repairs to pipe line, l.S5;-iuperintend ent clerk and helper, flOJ.JS; office ex penses. t0; cleaning and dipping pipe, 1166.17; building shed over dipping tanks $4.25; sundry bills. 1104 63; making a to tal on account of payroll and general expenses for the montn of $597.58. The semi annual Interest payment amount ing to t.0O0, was allowed. The question of reducing rates to city consumers came up for discussion, and while a general desire was express ed fir a reduction of the rates, it seems to be the general opinion that any reduc tion during the coming year would be Impossible without some agreement ! with the city looking to the payment ot a reasonable hydrant rental. The mat ter was not finally disposed of but was continued under advisement until tti next regular meeting. There bring no further business before the commission, the meeting was then adjourned. MAIIAKA'S MINSTRELS. Mahara's famous minstrels arrived late last evening from l'ortland, and, as It wua generally thought they would not appear, the house was not as large as It would have been under other circum stances, it Is undoubtedly the best troupe of its kind that ever played As toria. Mr. Leruy Bland's rendition of "Only Me," was one of the best num bers of the evening. As a female Im personator Mr. Bland Is without a peer In the country. Mr. Milliard Brewer, the wonderful contortionist, astounded the audience. It seems well nigh In credible that a man can twist himself Into such shapes as he did. If Mr. Brewer has any bones in his body their existence seemed Improbable last night, The Jokes and songs were all new and catchy. Mr. Hilly Youngs work was well received. The troupe plays again tonight, with an entire change of pro gram. WIRES STILL DOWN. About noon yesterday both telegraph lines succeeded in getting communica tion with Portland for a few mlnutss, and both companies were confident that by night their wires would be In work Ing order. At supper time the Western Union was still in a state of hock, but the Postal was In running order. At 10 o'clock the latter line went down In the middle of a press dispatch, after several dispatches had been received. It was thought last spring when the new line was built Into the city and the old one had been thoroughly overhaul. ed, that Astoria could not. possibly be shut off from communication with the outside world. "But circumstances are such, etc." NOTICE. To the Sons of Hermann: All members of this order are request ed to meet at their hall on Thursday, December 3d at 12:45 p. m. to take part In the funeral of the late wife of Brother John Ossenberger.

A street gamin was yesterday shining up an elderly gentleman, who was leaning against a building. II was suported by two canes, which so at tracted the attention of the bootblack that he sought to know why they were necessary. The gentleman explained that he had an Injured knee and was thinking of having his leg taktn on, but he added that It would cost a thou sand dollars. 'My!" exclaimed the lad; "that's an awful pile of money!" and then, after a moment's hesitation, he added., "and It might kill you." But If It kills me,' ths gentleman re sponded, "the doctors will give my fam ily 15,000." The bootblack polished away for some time, and then looked up and remarked".
