FINAL ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
Excursion to The Dalles Promise to Bt
Most Enjoyable Event.


The final arrangements for the excur-
sion TO The Dalles have been completed
and there is every reason TO believe
that the trip will be most gratifying
success in every sense. About eighty
persons, principally business men of
standing in this city, have arranged to
go. and those of the chamber Of COM
merce who conceived and promoted the
excursion. are much gratified over the
prospective pleasure and profit in store.
The Lurline, which will convey the
party to The Dalles. will leave here
tomorrow evening at 5 o'clock and will
return TO Astoria during the early
hours OF Thursday morning. Arrange
ments are being made for music SO
that dancing may be enjoyed during
the trip up the river.
No doubt there will be innumerable
cameras and long-distance telescopes,
and friends OF the excursionists will
see no end Of scenic views and verbal
descriptions OF the wonderful sights to
be enjoyed on the Upper Columbia.
The people of The Dalles are making
preparations to receive and entertain
the Astoria visitors and there is no
question that the trip will. result in
much good to the excursionists as well
as to the cities whom the people will
represent.

DEATH OF CHARLES WARD.
The old Pioneer Suddenly Stricken
Down by Heart Disease-The
Funeral.

Mr.. Charles Ward. the weil-known
pioneer and citizen OF this community,
died at the home OF mis- daughter. Mrs
G. wingate. early Saturday morning,
March "a. of valvular disease OF the
heart.
The diseased had been sick but a
very short time, although he had not
been in rugged health for the past year
But his disease was not considered SER
ious and his death seems very sudden.
Mr.. Ward was born in Derbyshire,
England. in 1923, so he had nearly at
talned the allotted four score years. He
was OF genial disposition which made
him good friend and neighbor. His
face and familiar figure will be missed
among his large circle Of friends, who
sincerely mourn his sudden death.
The funeral viii take place from Mrs.
Winsate's residence on Monday, March
26, at l0;45 a. m. The !nterment will be
at the family plot in the old Clatsop
cemetery. the services being held in the
Presbyterian church there on the ar

BALLOON THAT MAY BE sTEEREp

This latest invention in the way of
air ships is attracting great attention.
The most wonderful thing about it is
simplicity. 1t is propelled by small
double petroleum motor, similar to that
used in automobiles. Ordinary coal
gus can take the place Of hydrogen for
the purpose of filling the balloon. as en-
ly an hour is required for this work
with gas, whereas hydrogen takes a
day. This discovery ought to make the
road through the heavens as free from
danger as does Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters the road through life. Behind 1t
lie fifty years of cures. Weakness, indi-
gestion. dyspepsia. debility, nervous
ness, constipation, malaria, or any dis
ease arising from weak stomach can
not withstand 1t. 1t is an excellent
spring tonic.

AsToRIAs PUBLIC LIBRARY.
A Visitor Believes Carnegie Would
Help 1t Along If Told How 1t Is
Patronized.

A stranger stood on the sidewalk in
front of the public library yesterday,
looking through the windows at score
of men and youths who We're seated at
the tables reading books, magazines
and newspapers. An Astorian reporter
paused for a second to see whether 1t
was anything unusual that was at
tracting the strangers attention, when
the latter suddenly said;
do you know II l was resident Of
your city here what would do? No?
Well. I'd call Carnegles attention to

been here, some five days, l have no.
tlced that the public library in Astoria
is better patronized than half the Ii
braries in cities Of double the size.
Let's count 'em. Twenty-Five men
and boys and there are not as many
today as usual. Now Carnegie believes
in libraries in places where they are
appreciated and he is also a great be-
lever in Libraries in sea ports, espec-
tally libraries with reading rooms at

with the Importance of this fact the
sooner will railroad be built.

IL TROYATORE AND FAUST.
Manager Engel Deserves Credit For
His Efforts to Please.

The International Grand Operatic
Company presented the first and
fourth acts of II Troyatore and the
third act of Faust to large and fash
ionable audience at The Middlesex
last evening.
The acts from Verdi's immortal
opera were produced first Madame
Cleopatra Vieini, who has beautiful
soprano voice, appeared as Leonoro,
and her singing was simply delightful.
Her artistic rendition Of the difficult
arids ia this opera won the hearty ap-
prevail of the audience. William
Stephens was Maurice, and his fine
tenor voice was shown to fine advan-
tage. He won great favor with the
audience. Probably the best scene in
this opera was that between Madame
Vicini and Mr.. Stephens in the first
scene of the fourth act. The Count
Di Lima was Arthur r. Seaton, who
possesses rich, mellow baritone voice
which he always appears to have I'M
der controls; his pronunciation was the
best and most distinct of any member
of the company. He was greatly APP
preciated by the audience. Miss
Kathyyn Tennen was the Azucena.
She has beautiful contralto voice.
Christine Monelli sang the part of
IneZ.
Manager Engel should be compli-
mented On his endeayor to bring first
class attractions of all kinds to the
city and should receive the generous
support of an appreciatiye public. -
