Astoria, Ore, March 20, 1894.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: 1t

TO you the annual report of our pros
porous club, founded in the year 1890
with a membership OF 16, and our total
receipts being $lS, at 81 per member
| find at that time playing on Sundays
was allowed, so ii will be seen that
with prosperity our morals have inn
proved, for today we neither play foot
ball on Sunday nor drink ale
In the year 1891 our prospects were
not encouraging, so football was al
lowed to remain O. silent factor during |
that season.
Now we arrive at 1892, when the club
was again revived, and was not long
organized before 1t gave, in connection
with the Bay Railroad company,
game In aid of the public library, and
turned over to that institution the neat
sum Of $780, Its membership at the end
of the season closed with 40, and our
total receipts were $l6S.5O.
Our browning efforts came on May 81,

the presidents office, and the first
match Of the season was arranged. to
be played on behalf of the Pioneer and
Historical society, by request, and al
most weekly thereafter gave some
match for the benefit of the library
Through the generosity of Herman
Wise and f. l.. Parker, the grand-stand I
and fence of the football grounds was
donated to the club The club has the
honor of having given the first athletic
field day ever held In Astoria ION July

day was great success. August Is
we gave an open air concert by the
Fourteenth infantry band, of Vancou-
YER followed next day by an excursion
TO Gearhart Park. an undertaking that
looked formidable at first. but which
proved one OF the greatest successes
ever achieved by any organization In
Astoria.
During the season Of football our
total proceeds amounted to s6ei.O5. an
increase OF sS25.55 over 1892. OF which I

the south of Turkey and Egypt, and if
this shop did not fit out an expedition

for the reason that we were so crowded

LAKE CITY, MIMI. July 29.-The
weather was hot at Camp Lakeview to-
day. and this unfavorable element made
the duties of the militiamen somewhat
tedious during the middle of the day.
A good battalion drill, with extended
order, was had this morning. some vol
ley firing being INDUCED in the skir-
miSh.
The following-named were visitors in
camp this evening:
Col. A. E. Chantler and Capt. Fl. C.
McGlll. of the governors staff; Surgeon
Game, of the First mounted troop;
Chaplain c. ii. Plummer, of the Third;
DR.. WhitcOmb. of st. Paul.
During the night some malicious per-
son placed the carcass of a hog in the
woods adjacent TO the mess houses, and
the stencil arising from the decayed an
imal was something awful.

conference with the officials of the
Great Northern. What the object of
this conference was no one was able at
the time to imagine. much less to know.
A circular appeared here yesterday
from Portland, Or. which throws light
on the matter to those who are able to
read between the lines. 1t is issued over
the signature of General Passenger
Agent Hurlburt of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company, himself
just appointed to his position by Re-
ceiver Mcneil. The circular formally
announces:
"rhe rail and water lines of the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company
will hereafter be operated under the
management of E. Mcneil, receiver"
This means another divorce from the
Union Pacific system of branch line.
With Topping off the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company from the Union
Pacific comes the contamination of one
of the most important railway deals of
the present year, already so eventful i'll
the history OF railroads. 1t means more
than the mere separation from the
Union Pacific. 1t means the CON-
pletion of traffic arrangement
between the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company and Great North
ern. By its terms the Great Northern
will be given direct entrance, by
short route, from st. Paul and Chicago
TO Portland. Through traffic ARA nge-
ment-both freight and passenger
have been made. This will give the
Great Northern improved facilities for
handling through business to the Pa
cihc coast. A CLOSE reporter ascer-
tanned this to be positive fact yester-
day, and not mere interesting rumor.
This, then. is the matter over which
Mr.. Mcneil and the Great Nor thern
officials were conterrirg

the physical characteristics Of their country.
The language remained for many years intact
and few persons not born to the tongue ever
mastered the mysteries of dialect principally
made up of conSonantS, with an occasional
vowel cropping up like a stone ledge in pas
ture. 1t has been pretty well demonstrated,
however, that the Welsh language belongs to
the Aryan or Indo-European family. The Welsh
have not only their part in English history as
sturdy fighters. but they were and are devoted to
their music and poetry, though neither of them,
It need hardly be said, is either well known or
properly appreciated beyond the borders of
their own peninsula. The Welsh horses and
cattle are small and hardy, but of extremely
good quality. The peasantry retain their an
cient dress more accurately than the people in
other parts of Great Britain and consequently
have quaintness and charm which modern
habiliments totally fail to give. The Welsh girl
above was denizen of the Midway, and eighty
