The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1897-09-12

Word was received yesterday from og-
den that the infant son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Watts. born in Astoria about n
year ago, died in Ogden September s.
after brief illness. This anliction. fall
ing upon the bereaved parents within
five months after the death OF Nhelr
daughter Florence. has caused keen sor.
row to their many Astoria friends.
Music-lovers OF Astoria have a rare
treat in store for them. The ladies' Of
the Library Association have secured
Mrs. Walter Reed, the first contralto OF
Portland. and Miss Agnes Watt. the lead
ing soprano Of the First Unitarian church
OF Portland, for a recital. to be given
early in Astoria. The date OF the enter
talnment will BE- announced later.
The Ciatsop Mil Company Is so rushed
with orders that it is necessary TO run
the mill day and night. They are now
San Francisco. and FIVE teams are now
kept busy all day hauling the shocks to
the dock for shipment on the next steam
er, which will carry 800 tons, being the
largest consignment ever made at one
time by this mill.
Mr.. johnson, ons Of the superintandents
for Honeyman. De Hart & Co, the rail-
road contractors. who was in the city
yesterday, said that the report published
in an evening paper the other day, that
they had lost the railroad contract, was
a fabrication pure and simple As stated
in the Astorian some time since, the
work is being pushed more vigorously,
and wages have been raised. 1t IS stu
matter Of uncertainty whether Corey
Bros. will assist in finishing the Job.
