ard the o. r. & y. Is believed
here to mean nothing A well
Informed man yesterday stated that
he thought Jim Hill had all
three lines well under control. and that

extending ITS system throughout Oregon |
is looked upon TO be mere rumor. and is
not believed by persons acquainteu with
the plans Of that company
A visitor remarked yesterday that the
necessity Of keeping the streets clean |
and in a sanitary condition was Of the
greatest importance in the towns Of our |
newly required colonial possessions. Pro- |
viding the main streets OF Havana are |
as dirty as Bond street, for instance, |
(Which is open to serious doubO the |
strangers remark was an apt one. The
citys street cleaning department is lam
entably deficient, and Astorias main |
thoroughfares are really disgrace The |
council should make an appropriation |
for this department.
Governor-elect Geer. who is visiting at |
the home Of Hon James w. Welch. met |
the fisheries committee Of the Push Club |

planned to Mr. Geer the legislation which |
is REQUIRED to advance the industry. and |
also made recommendations as to the |
amount Of the appropriation for hatchery
purposes. Mr.. Geer takes a very keen |
interest in the fishing situation, and one |
Of the objects Of his visit with Mr.. Welch |
was to secure data regarding it. The |
goverDor-eleot and Mr.. Welch went all |
over the city yesterday and the tall, un-
assuming chief executive attracted con-
siderable attention.
