shanohan Bros, grea, remnant sale ar.
tracted crowds OF purchasers yesterday.
This is the aual cleanup OF the large
and varied stock sacrificed by these en-.
terprising merchants the past winter.
Among the remnants now going FOR a
mere song are some Of the finest dress
goods ever brought 20 Astoria. Pieces
Of laces, ribbons. and In fact all classes
and descriptions Of dry goods can be
picked up at the present great sale at
figures which will as,onish the ladies' Of
Astoria.
The council meets in regular session
this evening. The proposition 10 install
city lighting plant will probably come
up. as the ways and means commlttse.
at the last meeting. asked further time
in which TO make It's report. All the
members OF the committee are said 10
favor the plan and II Is believed the
committee will recommend that the plant
be installed. A resolution will be intro
duced instrucung the board OF assessors
to levy the assessment for the Astor
street improvement, which is now being
made. The time for the completion OF
the street will be extended. as the con
tractor was unable to secure the necrs-
sary yellow fir.
The probabilities are the coming sum
mer will see vast Improvement in dg-
ferent branches Of Industry in Astorla
and vicinity. The Indications are that a
business revival will take place in this
city which will be without a parallel
since the early days Of the fishing In
dustry on the Columbia river Plans Tor
building enterprises are already In shape
which will give employment to at least
80 men, with work enough 70 last the
entire summer Employers will pay good
wages and the results therefrom to the
business interests OF the city will be
felt independent OF that derived from the
salmon Industry Prospective enter
prises will likely spring up In the mean
time that will add to toe general hum
Of business. Logging, fishing, and other /
industries contiguous 10 Astoria have
fourishrd he whole winter, and the men .
engaged In these lines OF employment will
begin the summer season work free
from the debts which are usually con
tracted at this period OF the year The ,
fishing season bids fair TO open more /

Fishermen have knitted many new nets .
or have added to their old ones during the .
winter, and It is believed more new gear !
will be on the river the coming summer
than at any season since the strike Of
IS. Logs have advanced 30 cents and 81 .
since last fall and there Is an increasing
demand which viii likely continue for
some time yet. The same is true OF the
other branches OF the lumber business.
The ultimate result Of the coming salmon
season may or may not come up to pres
ent expectations, but It is a fixed belief
that good price will prevail during the
season.
