large array Of legal talent IL being en-.

The case. which II being tried before
Judge Mcbride and jury In the circuit

which have important bearing on con-
tracts such as are involved In this in
stance. The history Of the case Is that

THE MAYORS PROCLAMATION.
Asks Astorians to Do All Possible TO
Extermlnate the Rats.

70 the people of Astoria;
In view of the fact that there has
been an authentic case of the plague
In Chinatown in San Francisco, and the
Chinese are constantly coming from
there to other cities of this coast; and
in view also that the plague now
exists in greatly increased number
of ports of the Pacific ocean, from
which vessels are constantly coming to
the ports Of this coast, and in view
also of the fact that rats take this dis
ease more easily than man, and are
generally the first to take 1t in any
port. and then give 1t TO man; and in
view OF the fact that the diseased rats
can not be isolated in case of an epi-
demic.
Therefore, / think 1t proper that the
people should be warned to kill the
rats by trapping or otherwise without
delay as a matter of self and public
protection.
This l consider Of great importance,
and hope will be done Immediately,
while the council will adopt other
means calculated to prevent the intro
duction of the disease.
