At the risk of having the insurance
rates advanced another two or
three per cent, THE AsToRIAN suggests
that good chemical engine would be
a valuable adjunct to the Astoria fire
department. 1t could often be used
to put out chimney blaze, and the

self. Upper Astoria needs a chemical
engine about as badly as it needs any
thing else A Achemical engine could
have saved John Kopp's brewery, and
the absence of some such contrivance
makes imminent probable loss at any
time from fire in upper town.

whereby the land was bonded to the
United states government for one rear. at
the owners figures. AS soon as the report
had been thoroughly circulated, good
deal of excitement prevailed among the
land owners In that vicinity. Real estate
men appeared upon the scene. and real
estate transfers ~ greatly advanced values
were ia order.

several times, and viii say that should we
