At the meeting of the w. C. T. U.
Thursday, Mrs. NJ. J. Kinney reported
holding two very successful evangel-
istic meetings in Kinney's mess house,
and an urgent request from the people
in Union town that the ladies hold
meetings in the temperance hall It
was decided to receive calls in the Y.
N. c. a. hall on New Years day. The
relief committee reported having been
asked to assume charge of the money
raised for the widow johnson, and
asked instructions from the Union in
the matter After deliberate consid-
Grafton it was decided that on account
of the complications that have arisen
concerning the money, they decline to
take charge of its disbursement. The
ladies of the union desire to warmly
thank all those who so generously
contributed to the aid of the poor this
Christmas tide.

ember they have been drowned out;
a good many lives have been lost
through floods and freshets and a
large amount of property destroyed.
Next summer they will be ankle deep
In dust, with the thermometer in the
nineties, and sleeping or the roofs Of
houses TO get a breath Of air. They
have an easy way, though, out of
their troubles; just come to Oregon,
where the days are dreams OF beauty,
the nights, periods OF radiant GOODNESS,
and where simply 20 feel that we
breathe, that we live, is worth the
best joys that life elsewhere can give.

LAST EVENINGS PERFORMANCE.

''They come like shadows: so depart"
That was a unique and agreeable
entertainment at the opera house last
evening.
Like the crest of foam on the wave,
or the sparkle Of the dew upon the
flowers; like the rainbows lovely form,
evanishing amid the storm, there
flashed upon the stage, forms OF liv-
ing beauty, and faded before the eye,
to be succeeded by other and fairer
presentations, surrounded as if by
magic from the fairy haunts of dis
embodied spirits.
To the charm of the sudden appear,
ances of different presentations on the
stage, was added the pleasure of rec
ognition, and as a familiar face ap-
peared, the audience evinced its I'm
mistaken pleasure by rapturous ap-
plause.

A good deal is being said about rail
road matters at present, and the creak-
ers and injunctors and pullbacks are
popping their heads up out of the mud.
It's no use. They will have no
chance to say II told-you-so." The
hoped for failure will not come to
pass.
It's a little singular that men can
be found here to aid in the effort that
Portland is making to cast discredit
on the whole scheme. One would
think that anybody here would have
sense enough if they couldn't aid the
scheme to at least refrain from any in
jury to it.
It is an open secret that ever since
it was apparent last June that Astoria
was to at least have railroad communi-
cation, Portland interests, inimical
and antagonistic to Astoria, have been
busy in endeavors to thwart and sub
vert all the efforts of Astorians to Sc
cure and insure the building of the
road.
It may not be generally known,
however, that spies and satellites have
followed the company's employees,
have endeavored to insinuate them
selves into the railroad company s
most secret councils, have followed
VIM. Reid to New York, have dogged
his footsteps; have told New York
fnanciers that Astoria had just only
raised 100000 for a private purse to
Reid for his financial aid in securing
the negotiation of securities; that
Portland men, to their shame, have
been hired to go TO New York and say
that there was nothing in the whole
scheme but an attempt to build a
bridge across Young's bay. and that
that bridge would be built on quick
sands.
Were the history of these nefarious
actions to be written out from the
day the OregOniGR announced
ASTORIA MUST WATT"
Till the present. it would make inter
esting reading for several in Portland
who were thought to be above such
practices. Even the Portland board

The influenza, or "la grippe" or

across from Europe, and has struck
Astoria. Several Of our most aristo-

ience. A common, ordinary, man or
woman, can only have dickens OF a
cold, and go around with a ringing in
the ears, and q perpetual 'ka-choo."

that affects the patient. In either

There was considerable interchange
of presents and a general feeling of
good cheer. A manifestation Of this

the happiness Of all.
