Trullenger's Point Beautiful
and Convenient.
PLANS ARE BEING CONSIDERED
The TaylOrs Offer Depot Location
Just at Hand-Both LOca-
4ions Are Good.

Among the MANY strangers recently
visiting the city, investigating the va
rious enterprises and proposed improve
ments of all kinds to take place here.
the principal topic discussed by them
has been the necessity for first-class
hotel. There is perhaps nothing which
gives so bad an impression to "a stranger
in any dty as Its lack of proper hotel
Recommendations. Take 1T today, and
what has Astoria ito show that is ade-
quate to meet the demands upon her
hospitality? Flor several weeks past ev-
cry room in Its principal hotel has been
occupied and in many cases visitors have
had to speak for quarters q number of
days i'm advance. With the regatta COM
ing on this week 1t would have been an
extremely difficult matter Ito have hous-
ed all OF the visitors who are expected,
had 1t not been for the hospitality of the
citizens, who have most generously OPEN
ed their homes to receive the influx Of
people.
Upon the eve of a phenomenal CONNER
cial growth, and a,rapld increase Of pop
Glation capitalists have seen that there
Is no better opening for THE employment
Of money thhn it's investment In a first
class hotel, that Will not only be a mat
ter of pride to the city, but furnish ample
accommodations TO the travelling public
and the numlberless visitors sure to be
attracted to SO important a business CEN
ter. Definite plans are being considered
for the erection of such a hotel. Its
site is a matter of extreme importance;
not only convenience to the business CEN
ter, butt its location as to surroundings,
which Will make 1t attractive to the
guests, ais well as an ornament to the
city, are essential features. Such To-
cation has been offered by the Trullin-
gers. They propose to give the beauti-
full knoll upon Bond street, facting the
bay, just at the head OF the little cove
near Elmore's cannerX, for THE purpose
| Here are to be found all THE elements
of natural beauty, combined with con-
venience of access. The site is high
above The water and affords grand view
Of the entire bay. The drainage must be
the best, and one great point, that OF
health, will be secured. Being only six
minutes walk from the center of town,
the matter of convenience cannot be
questioned.
just i'm front of this property is the
water frontage offered by the Taylors to
Mr.. Hammond for a depot site. With
characteristic llberality, these gentlemen
have proposed to donate about 1900 feet
Of waterfront on either side of the Ell
more cannery, for THE location of the
depot, and have given Mr.. Hammond his
choice of the two. Should the depot
be located at either OF the two places,
no mlstnke could be made in building
the hotel ON the point above. In any
event THE hotel site is unexcslled from amy
point of view. The matter Is being tnost
seriously considered and in all proba-
bllity Astoria viii soon have guest
house THAT will be TO It's credit.

Party of Seven in a Fog on
Mount Rainier.
SIR KNIGHTS IN SESSION
Grand Conclavs in ChicagO-PrO.
tects His Acts With Winches-
ters-Girl Suicides.

Seattle, August ia party OF seven
mountain climbers from the Puget Sound
Methodist University had thrilling ex-
perience on Mount Ranier last Sunday.
The ascent of the mountain was made
without difficulty, but in returning from
the summit to the Camp of Clouds, 500O
feet below them, but which is at an alti-
tude of about 5000 feet, the party were
lost in dense fog. They could see moth
ing but dense fog and snow. Night
came and they were still lost. They
tramped until hunger and WEAKNESS COM
pelled them to stop. Huddling behind a
pile of rocks, they finally decided to
spend the rest of the night there and
wait for the fog to raise. Here the
party nearly froze 10 death. The wind
blew SO hard that the only way they
could keep their blankets from blowing
away was by loading them with heavy
stones. But morning came and they again
found their trail, and late Mocday after
noon reached the Camp of Clouds, FROST
bitten, starved and worn out.
DR.. Misner, one of the party, ruptured
a blood vessel and is seriously i'll, as the
result of forty-edght hours on Mount
Ranier's summit. The rest OF The party
were not seriously injured. The Rev.
w. NJ Jefferis delivered a sermon on the
summit last Sunday Untitled, "The Ser
mon on the Mount"

DURRANTs TRIAL.

San Francisco, August lion Monday
the trial of Theodore Durrant for the
murder OF Blanche Lamont will enter
upon its fifth week. During the first two
weeks a good class of jurors was drawn
from the box, and it was comparatively
easy to secure eight men who said they
had no bias and were Satisfactory for
every reason. All OF the past week was
spent Ia the vain effort to find a single
satisfactory talesnal. AS THE case pro-
crosses the respective counsel find It
more difficult to be satisfied with the
veniremen.

aoLpRncK,s PIANO RECITAL.
One Of the Features of the silver Lake
Assembly.

Silver Lake, N. Y. July 26bh-(Special
' to the Journal )-Robert Goldlbech, the
composer and PIANIST, gave the first Of
his summer recltals last evening, before
an enthusiastic audience of over three
thousand people. vino made the vast au-
dRtorium ring with their hearty applause.
II was the most successful reciteal ever
given In the auditorium, as heretofore
the pianos used were not sufficiently re-
sonant to fill the large building and the
audiences were small because only those
in the front seats could hear. The suc-
cess of Mr.. Goldbeck,s recital was large
ly due to the KimhaH grand piano which
he used, and the pure tone of which was
as plainly heard In the rear as In the
front row. 1t Is certainly a woaderful
instrument and the fact of the manage
men securing such an instrumenk and
thus enabling every part OF The audi
ence to enjoy the concerts Will bring
out larger numbers Than have ever before
attended. Mr.. Goadbeck Is TO be con-
grafu.nted on the success Of his first
appearance, and the maaagement are to
be congratulated on securing such pi-
ano as bhe Kimbaid, without which half
Of the enjoyment would be lost--(rhe

All men are more or less FOOLS OF III cir
own senses; or perhaps it would be
truer 10 say that their different senses
are fools of each other. The Pail Mall
Gazette says that Geneva scholar
lately devised simple but novel OK
pertinent for testing this point. He ar
ranged n series of common articles of
oil sizes, and requested his class to put
them In order Of weight. The weight
Of oil was exactly the same, but only
one student discovered this fact. The
majority placed small leaden weight
first, and large wooden basin last.
The ordinary mind, apparently, ranges
the weight Of objects in inverse proper
tion 10 the size. Only when the eyes
are shut does a true appreciation be-
come possible.

The Democratic papers are pointing

truth Is that this Improvement Is en-
suing in spite OF that measure, and not
because Off In looking for the cause
Of the revival Of trade aud industry, ID
Is necessary 70 GO 10 other shan demo-
cratic sources. The depression began.

present administration came In. and
grow worse from month 10 month un-
Gil last November, when the repub-
leans carried the election. and the be-
lief became general that n republican
president would be chosen In 1900. Up
20 that time there had been no definite
sign Of returning prosperity. All tho
agencies Of production aud traffic
were in crippled and prccarions con-
dition. Men were afraid 70 invest

hension OF disaster prevailed cvery-
where, and nobody was disposed tn
take the chances OF what might be
done by the party In power Demo-
cratic rule had the effect Of practically
paralyzing the energies of the people.
They found their interests ut tho
mercy Of mischievous forces, and their
only method OF protection was to do
as little business as possible.
hopeful feeling was apparent N
soon as a republican house OF repre-
sentativcs was elected. That was IN
assurance Of exemption from further
tinkering with the tariff and from
other forms OF commercial and indus
trial disturbance. The outlook nt
once began TO brighten because demo-
cratic rule had begun TO take its flight;
and the situation has been improving
ever since. Merchants and manufac-
turers are extending their operations
by reason OF the confidence that they
feel in the approaching restoration OF
the republican party TO entire control
OF the government. They know thai
the new house will stand between
them aud oil democratic projects OF q
dangerous character Tho time has
come when they can make business
calculations without taking account OF
the unexpected that Is always likely to-
happen when the democrats have full
power of interference in the affairs OF
the country. They know that cons
gress Is not going to do any moro dctri \
mental legislatipg. There are no
longer any desperate risks for them to
face ia the adjustment Of their opera

against democratic folly and mean
