the accommodation Of those who are un-
able to register during the day, and
Mr. Clinton is hopeful that voters will
make better showing than was made
last wednesday night, when only 10

to entail much annoyance for voters,
who should go at once to the clerks
office and observe the formality Of reg

The steamer Fulton, which went on

fioated by the steamer Despatch, ac-
cordlng 10 advices received yesterday.

When the Despatch started down the
coast with her the FuIton's decks were
awash, but at San Francisco she Will
be repaired and made as good as new.
The floating OF the steamer was de-
cided surprise to shipping men, who
all along supposed she would be a to-
tai loss. At the time she was wreck
ed she had cargo OF 100000 feet Of
lumber aboard. Two thousand barrels
were loaded onto the vessel to keep
her afioat.

II Is now quite likely that the river
steamer Gilmore will be put on the AS

Co, although nothing of definite ma
ture has yet developed. 1t was learned
yesterday that the present traffic here
was too great for one boat to handle,
but scarcely large enough to justify
the operation of two steamers. "If the
business justdfies such a move the Ell
more will be put on the run between
Portland and the mouth OF the river" /"

of the company's water lines. "At the

The extension of Duane street IS go
ing to cause more or less trouble, If
present indications are to be rolled
upon. The council recently provided
for the connection Of the street rear
Fourteenth. but the property owners
who own land east of Fourteenth have
demonstrated against the proposed ex-
tension, on the ground they are now
being required to pay for several I'M
provements. But the hospital people,
according to the statement made by
Mayor Suprenant at the last meeting
of the council, want to erect new
hospital and the sister superior has
withheld her consent to the improve
ment until such time as Duane street
is put through. 1t Is the intention to
build a fine hospital and an expendi-
ture Of something like 100000 is con-
templated. In view OF this fact the
council feels the Improvement shouldbe
made, although It is q difficult matter
for the council to oppose majority
of the interested property owners. 1t
was stated at the meeting Monday
night that some Of the owners who
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-05-04

signed the remonstrance had really
entertained no objection to the i'm
provement, and in view of this fact It
is probable the persons favoring the
extension will probably get up a petit
tion asking that the improvement be
made. Confidence is expressed that a
majority Of the property owners would
sign the petition and the councils way
would then be clear to make the ex-
tension.

more visitors who will be in the city
to attend the grand lodge of Odd Fell
lows and the Rebekah assembly, which
are to hold their annual sessions in the
city May II, is and 1s. is a question
that is causing much annoyance. The
committee is trying to get rooms for
the visitors who are coming and is
meeting with rather poor success. AS
usual, Astoria Is not able to care for
her regular residents, to say nothing
of housing 600 or more visitors. The
committeeman representing the local
order have been skirmishing about for
the past two weeks, but have found
that there are few available rooms in
the public hotels and lodging houses.
"One thing is certain" said O. member
OF the committee yesterday. "The peo-
pie of Astoria must throw open their
homes for the accommodation of these
visitors. We have brought them here,
and they cannot sleep in the streets.
Private families must take them in"
The committee is now advertising for
rooms and hopes to be able to secure
accomodations for the visitors. The
odd Fellows were here some few years
ago and We're so royalty treated they
jumped ut the chance to come again.
The committee win strive nightly to
make their visit pleasant and hopes to
again fovorably impress them with the
excellence of Astoria hospitality.
