YAoU1NA CLAM BAKE.
How the People Enjoyed Themselves and
Celebrated.

Mr.. r. A. Bddy, of AIissoula, the broth
er-ln-law OF Mr.. Hammond, when asked
about thedr trip to Yaquina Bay, said:
"We had most delightful visit in every
sense. The trip was made in the private
car of Mr.. G. w. Dickinson, assistant
general superintendent of the Northern
Pacific, who with his wife and family,
accompanied us. Mr.. Hanmond's boys
and MID Scklnson'S have been playmates
and companions for several years and
have hunted and flshed together in Mon
tana, so that wherever together they have
a good time.
"The gathering at Yaquina was occa-
STONED by the excursion of representa-
tives OF the press. and as 1t was the IA
dies first experience at a clam bake
they enjoyed II immensely. The CLANS
and chicken. sweet corn and potatoes
were simply delicious.
when the news came OF the confirma-
tion ci the sale of the Oregon Pacific the
people were greatly reJolced and are as
happy as can be over the prospect Of
relief from the cramptd condition they
have been In heretofore, caused by the
poor physical condition and poorer
service Of the railroad. Mr. Hammond
has taken hold OF that line and will put
1t in thorough repair as weA as extend
1T In such shape as will be of great bene-
ht TO the people OF the Willamette Valley.

A PRoMINpNN VISITOR.
Mr.. Geo. w. Dickinson, of the Northern
Pacific, Visits ASTORIA


Mr. George w. Dickinson, the genial
assistant general superintendent of the
Northen Pacific Railroad, WAS In the city
yesterday with the Hammond party.
When seen by an Astorian representa-
tive Mr.. Dickinson had the air of one
mell pleased with the world and his sur
roundings. He possesses that rare quail
ity Of even temperament which enables
its owner to always maintain a pleasant
front. When asked about the general
railroad situation, Mr.. Dickinson said:
Matters are greatly improved and rail-
road earnings are vastly better than for
a number Of years, but We are not out
Of the woods yet. 1t win be at least
another year before the Northern Pa
cifc can hope to get out of the hands OF
receivers. The revival of business is In
rthe local fields. None of the railroads
are making any profits on transcontin-
entail traffic, but crops are good, the
prices on wheat, wool and hops are bet
ter, as also on lumber and shingles.
Above all this the people are going to
work and are again earning good
wages
What do you think Of Astorla's new
railroad?"
II have always believed In the road,
from a railroad standpoint think 1t is
a good investment, and 1t is certainly
all that is needed to make this a pros
porous port and O. large city"
''Will the Northern Pacific do business
with the new line7'
''The Northern Pacific at one time had
a contract to do business with such
road to be built to Astoria and have
always been friendly to the enterprise.
No doubt when the time comes we will
have traffic arrangements of mutual benz
eft with the new line"

FIRST PUBLIC REHEARSAL.
Given by the chiidrcn's Chorus Classes in
Sc. v. NJ. c. A. Hn1l,

Y. M, c. A. Hall.
The first public rehearsal OF the Chill
| dren's Chorus classes under the direc-
ton of Tallie Morgan was held yester-
| day afternoon al the Y. M. c. A. hall,
| and every available foot Of space was
| crowded. The chorus numbered over
three hundred voices, and it is quite
| grown people could not be gathered In
| this city that would be able to do the
musical work done by those children
yesterday. 1t vas q revelation, 1t was
q wonder. During the entire lesson of
one hour, every member Of the class
paid strict attention to the lesson. Mr..
Morgan, in his opening remarks, said
that the classes had been organized only
five weeks, and that most of the chill
| dren had received only three lessons.
He said that In March a public recital
would be given at one of the play
houses, when those present could again
| witness the progress made. He ex-
| planned his system Of teachin" at length
and demonstrated it's practicability by
giving new music to the children, which
they readily sang at sight.
The children were repeatedly ap-
plauded after the various tests and a
more enthusiastic audience could hard
ly be found. The chorus sang q two
part waltz song most beautifully. and
two little tots. Mabel Jayne and Edith
Morgan, sang a duet that brought forth
such q storm Of applause that fairly
shook the house. Mrs. Bet. Jayne, who
Is n of the teachers, presided most ac-
ceptably at the piano.
In answer to questions sent to the
desk, Mr.. Morgan announced that new
scholars will be received for two weeks
more. The Green Ridge class meets in
Nettleton's hall at $40, the Providence
class in Fenner & Charrel's hall at II,
the Scranton class in the Y. M. C. A.
rooms at 2, and the Hyde Park class in
the Washburn Street Presbyterian
church at 4, all on Saturdays. 1t Is pos
sible that monthly joint rehearsals will
be held from this time forward.

WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Tsank's,v|ns Day Quietly Observed III
This Part of the City-Ncws Notes
and Personal M~entionings.

Thanksgiving Day was quietly spent
on this side. The crowd on the streets
was not as large as usual, owing to the
fact that nearly all the mines were
working. Many attended the foot ball
game, and the sporting fraternity wit
messed or participated in the Driving
park shoot. Arrests were few and
drunkenness was happily absent as a
general thing.
Last evenings events were numerous,
but not of any magnitude. h I'm
perial Concert company entertained at
the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church before a large crowd. An "Ev-
cry Day Dollar Party was held In the
Scranton Street Baptist church. The
affair was well attended and was sue
cessful. A social was held at the Jack
son Street Baptist church. These were
the chief events.
