FACTS WORTH KNOWING

About seven years ago property on
Boyer avenue opposite Whitman Col
iege grounds, sold for about $40 per
front foot, or about $500 per lot of so
feet front. Today no offer of less than
$40 per front foo. would be considered
by any one holding property on Boyer
avenue, the admittedly choice street in
our city. 1t is now the Boulevard"
of Walla Walla. Further out this
beautiful street. in the famous Isaacs'
Addition, Professor w. D. Lyman
bought in 1900, piece of land. 'front.'
ing Boyer avenue, 10 feet front by
195 feet deep for $500. This piece of
land now makes three lots, and if you
want to buy one, of these lots you will
find an offer of less than $40 per foot.
front foot, will be politely declined.
Again. just across the avenue from the
above named property 75-foot lot is
currently reported as having been sold
in May. 1907, for $4,000. This same
piece of ground was purchased IL
years ago for 1924. A little figuring
will develop he mathematical fact
that the original price has almost
doubled each year for the past 10 years.
There are many similar cases all
along the avenue. where property has
doubled its original price yearly for
the past seven years. and several have
done far better; for instance. take the
case of the Lyman purchase in 1900.
Are those things so? Call up several
parties living on the avenue for seven
years or more and talk with them;
find out for yourself from disinterested
parties. 1 want you to investigate
If upon investigating you find them
correct, l would be pleased to show
you some choice lots on the avenue
for six and seven hundred dollars

SECURES OUTFIT FOR
VIKINGS
S. 1. NANTHRUP RETURNS FROM
PORTLAND AFTER MAKING ALL
ARRANGEMENTS FOR COSTUMES
OF 80 SAILORS ON VIKING SHIP.

President s L. Nanthrup of the Nor
wegian Saengerfest of the Northwest,
ami chairman OF the Viking committee
of the Astoria Regatta, returned to the
city Tuesday night from Portland where
he went to purchase the paraphernalia
necessary for the ancient Morse rites in
connection with the celebration.
He reports a successful trip and has
easily managed to secure suits for the
sailors, who win be costumed in the
style of over a thousand years ago, as
well as swords, shields and numerous
necessary parts of the undertaking. He
will start rigging up the ship as soon
Is the material for il has arrived.
He has decided to have 80 sailors row
the ship with huge sweeps, and accord
ing to his plans the experiment will
prove huge success in every respect. At
present he is looking for the arrival Of
Carlo Sperati, the great chorus leader,
from San Francisco, who will be here
today or tomorrow.
Selection OF the men who will man the
ship will be made within the next few
days, and it is probable that they will
all be taken from expert fishermen or
seamen who live in this city. 1t will
be necessary to rehearse the Viking ship
cruise in order to have no breaks on the
day of the celebration--September 2
and that the plans of the committee may
run smoothly.
A 60-foot boat has been secured for
the Viking ship and will provide ample
accommodations for large chorus be-
sides the numerous rowers. 1t is pos
sible that on account OF the boats size
that there will be a large chorus sta
toned on the ship, which will be led by
the Viking king, and that a duet of
songs will be passed from the chorus
singers on large barge to the chorus
on the ship.
Every indications point toward this
feature OF the Regatta as being ex-
tremely unique and satisfying to those
seeking new sensation, both spectacu-
lar and edifying,

GAMBLERS LEAVE
FOR NEVADA
Mr.. MccUE RECEIVES OFFICIAL
NOTICE FROM HEDGES TO PRO
HIBIT GAMBLING AND WILL NO.
TIFY SHERIFF TO ISSUE ORDERS.

Deputy District Attorney John Nc
Cue yesterday received official notice
from District Attorney Hedges OF Ore
gon City to put stop to gambling in
this city on and after August Is. Mr..
McCue will issue orders today through
the sheriff J notifying the gamblers
that they are given until that date to
close up their business, and he asserts
that he intends to enforce the order
strictly. Officers will be instructed to
arrest all persons caught gambling and
to confscate all gambling devices after
the prescribed date.
The order did not say anything regard.
ing slot machines, as there is a special
statute applying to these machines. The
gambling was closed down under see
tion 1914, which applies to gambling,
and there may be some difficulty re-
garding this feature of the lid.
Six gamblers were known to have lett
the city last night for Nevada and it
is probable that large number OF the
men in the gambling business will leave
for the same state during the week and
after the closing date.

OUT OF MILK And
OUT OF SORTS
STEWARD FUNK UNABLE TO GET
SIX GALLONS OF MILK FOR DIN
NER ON THE CITY OF PANAMA

That Astoria, the business center for
Sne OF the richest dairy sections in the
country, should be out of milk j, a ,ad
state Of affairs. That she should be out
OF milk and no near neighhors to bor-
row from is sadder. At any rate Ste
ward Funk of the City of Panama is
completely disgusted with the milk sup
ply of the city.
When the Panama came up the river
yesterday morning from her trip from
San Francisco the passengers lined the
guards mad wondered at the beautiful
scenery Of the river, or as much as
they could see of it on account of the
low-lying clouds, But they were espec-
ially interested in the fish boats of the
bar-fishermen. None like them had ever
been seen before. Questions were asked
and when it was found out that these
were fish boats with loads of Chinook
salmon in them, Tor the run had been
good the night before, the thoughts Of
the passengers wandered to roast and
fried salmon.
Harry B. Smith, a former writer OF
sports on the Evening Telegram and at
present occupying a similar position
On the San Francisco Chronicle, wal
forcibly struck with the situation.
"Here I am" said Smith to himself
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-08-08

ii"Nturning to my home after a consider
able absence and it is fitting and proper
that should celebrate with having the
steward furnish fine piece of salmon
with cream dressing. Ill mention it to
him. Huzza fer home.'
Thereupon the journalist with several
friends said to Steward Funk that it
would be fun to have creamed salmon
for dinner
Funk though it would be fun too and
when he got to Astoria bought some fine
salmon and went out in search OF ak
gallons OF milk with which to make the
"ereamed" salmon with. Up and down
the street he went. No milk wagons.
No milk any place. Phones to all the
places where milk should be kept.
No milk to spare; none in town, and
please send in your order earlier"
please"
Only six gallons OF milk wanted and
they could not be secured. What is the
matter with the Clatsop county cow
A the result of the idle quest OF
Steward Funk Mr.. Smith had his sal.
mon fried with a piece of parsley and
lemon.

HOPS IN CALIFORNIA.

SACRAMENTO, Cal. August THE
hop crop this year will, ii Is said, be
about Is per cent less than that OF last
year. Local dealers estimate that the
entire yield Of the state will not pass
10000 bales. 1t is figured that Sacra.
mento and Yolo counties will yield
about $1,000 bales. Dealers, though they
admit that the hops are Of excellent
quality this year, are offering but seven
cents pound and no sales or contracts
are reported

the afternoon they took carriage for
the station, accompanied by numerous
friends.
At the station the rice throwing COM
menced in earnest and the girl friends
of the bride embraced her heartily,
stowin rice in very conspicuous position
imaginable. The bride and groom were
nearly desperate, although taking the
fun in good part, and by the time the
train started the aisles, platforms and
steps OF at least two cars were an inch
deep in rice.
The young couple will return in about
10 days and make their home on the
groom's dairy farm on the Lewis and
Clark.
