that the jetty has done away with
the dangers of the Columbia bar. it,
safety of access as cmopared with the
straits of Fuca."
He moved that a committee of five
be appointed to gather statistics in
regard to this matter, and that the
chamber of commerce of Astoria he
invited to aid in laying the matter
before the proper authorities. car
ried.
The Astoria chamber of commerce
can secure the new navy yard for
Astoria if it will move promptly in
the matter. Don't wait until some
other place secures it and then meet
and pass resolutions.-Astoria Pio-

Probably Abolished.


The secretary of war has Withdrawn
the commission of the present post
traders at IT. Meade and has decided not
to appoint anyone else to that position
hereafter. His decision is likely to
stand permanently, and if SO Sturgis is
to be congratulated. There is no need
of a traders store at the post, as the mer-
chants of this city can easily supply the
demand, not only of the fort itself, but
of the country contiguous. It is only a
short distance from the post to this city,
and it amounts to nothing to either the
officers, soldiers or even the farmers from
beyond. A first-class carriage road leads
from the fort to our city that can always
be travelled and kept in good condition,
so no argument can be made on that
point. The trade at the post is not
heavy enough to warrant post-trader
carrying constantly varying but COM
plete stock such as is demanded by the
changing seasons and more unstable
fashions. Stocks of this kind our mer-
chants always carry. There are score
of reasons why the post-tradership
should remain vacant II is needless to
enumerate them. They will present
themselves almost unbidden, and there
fore, for the benefit of all concerned, it
were better that the position become and
remain vacant.

"Reauiescat in Pace /,

On Monday afternoon, March IL, 1888,
Calvin Duke of this city was called to
his reward, aged 81 years, 3 months and
| II days. Mr.. Duke was an old timer in
the Hills, coming here in 1876 from Ne
braska. He became more thoroughly
known to the general public through his
managing of the Northwestern hotel OF
this city. He was born in Ohio, Nov. 30,
1888. He lived in Illinois several years
before coming to Nebraska. He was
married in 1857 Was in the war three
years serving in the 22nd Iowa infantry.
The origin of the disease to which his
death is ascribed, it is claimed, was con-
tracted at the battle of Winchester, from
exposure. Mr.. Duke built the second
house i'll Sturgis, it is said He was a
member of the Methodist Episcopal de-
nomination and one OF the trustees OF
that church here. He leaves widow
and three daughters, Mrs. J. B. Hird of
Fl. Meade, Mrs. s. H. Knopper of Alkali
and Jennie. The direct cause of death
was severe cold settling in the spinal
column, which aggravating his disease,
formed an abcess which soon terminated
his life. He leaves property estimated
at $50, 600, which according to his will
is bequeathed to his wife, entire. His
body will be shipped to Cresco, Nebraska,
for burial at the conclusion of the fune-
raj exercises of today. Mr.. Duke was
good man and honored citizen, and our
city fully appreciates The loss it has sus-
tanned in his demise.
During the funeral services all the
business houses Of the city closed out of
respect to his memory. The remains
were escorted to the church by a detach-
ment of old vets from the post, followed
by large concourse Of friends.
