SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED.
The School House at South Aberdeen
Is Totally Destroyed by Fire,
Monday Night.

The school house in South Aber-
deem was discovered in flames about
1880 Monday evening. and, owing to
the distance from fire headquarters,
was totally destroyed, together with
the contents, except few books
and desks that were saved.
Owing to the bad condition of the
streets, the fire apparatus was slow
in reaching the fire, and the chem
ical wagon got a severe shaking up.
1t was necessary to lay LOO feet Of
hose to reach the burning building,
and by the time this was done the
structure was beyond saving. The
building cost about $4,000 two years
ago, and was insured for $4,000, and
there was 5000 insurance on the con-
tents.
While this fire was in progress a
false alarm was sent in from the box
at the Wilson mill, and the big fire
engine started for that point. In
going at a rapid pace on East Heron
street, wheel sank into a hole,
nearly throwing the men from the
engine, and seriously damaging the
machine.

AN AGED PRIEST.
Rev. Father John J. Gribben Cele-
brates Forty-Fifth Anniversary
of His Ordination.

Rev. Father John Joseph Gribben,
the aged and revered chaplain of ST.
Joseph's hospital, celebrated the
forty-fifth anniversary of his ordina-
ton as a priest on Tuesday, Decem-
Der 8, when he was presented with
a purse by his numerous friends as a
token of their love and esteem. He
has had a varied career, which began
near Belfast Ireland, and is reaching
its elimination on the Western slope
of the United States. He is a second
cousin of former Senator w. A. Clark,
of Montana. at whose palatial Fifth
avenue residence he is always q
guest on his visits to New York, made
about once year.
Born on June 8, 1881, he came
with his parents to America in 1S4S.
at the age of II. He entered st.
Michael's college, Toronto, Canada,
and after finishing the course there,
took the full course at the Grand
Seminary of st. Sulpice, Montreal.
After his ordination, Father Crib
ben came West and endured the hard
ships incident to a new country. He
has frequently driven forty-five miles
and held mass at 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, necessarily maintaining his
fast.
Father Gribben has always been a
great traveller, and has been able to
take many interesting journeys. He
says that it is nothing for him to de-
eide to pack his grip and take a trip
abroad. He has crossed the Atlantic
ocean fifty-four times, and has been
twelve times around the Mediterr-
anean sea. He has visited his holi-
ness, the pope at Rome, and there is
not an important city in the United
States which he has not seen at
some time.

NORTHWESTERN LEAGUE
Annual Meeting of Directors Ar
ranges for Coming Season.
Portland Takes Place of
Butte

SEATTLE, Dec. 9.-The largest
deal ever consummated in the history
OF baseball in the Pacific Northwest
went on record yesterday afternoon
at the annual meeting of the direc-
tors of the Northwestern League. at
the Butler, in this city, when Russ
Hall transferred the contracts of nine
Butte players to George Shredder,
owner of the Tacoma Tigers. In
cluded in the list is Third Baseman
Cartwright, the man that nearly
every club in the league was anxious
to secure, and who has been consid-
cred thoughtfully by such major
league teams as Cincinnati, Brook
lyn and the Philadelphia Athletics.
The five remaining Butte men were
transferred to Spokane.
w. H. Lucas was unanimously re-
elected president for one year, and
his salary was raised from $4,000 to
$2,4O0. Walter Macfarlane, presi-
dent OF the Aberdeen club, was made
vice president, an office which he
has held for one year; and Judge
w. w. McCredie, of Portland, was
made director.
The elimination of Butte and the
unanimous election of Portland to
membership necessitated the rejec-
tion of the semi-official application
of Helena for membership. There was
a sentiment in favor of an eight
club league, which have included
Butte and Helena, but after a long
discussion it was decided that six
club circuit, cutting out the heavy
transportation charges to Montana,
would be the best for all concerned.
The season will commence in the lat
ter part of April, with the following
clubs: Portland, Tacoma, Spokane,
Aberdeen, Vancouver and Seattle.
: Those present at the meeting were
as follows: President w. H. Lucas,
Spokane; President Joe Cohan, Spo-
kane; Manager Bob Brown, Spokane;
President Walter Macfarlane, Aber-
deem; President A. R. Dickson, Van
couver; A. G.. Halstead, Vancouver;
President George Shredder, Tacoma; !;
President Russ Hall, Butte, Presi-
dent D. E. Dugdale, Seattle.

The financial standing of the nation

will do away with the existing defects.
During the period from July l. 1901,
to Sept. 80, 1908, there has been a net
surplus of nearly one hundred millions
Of receipts over expenditures, a reduc-
ton of the interest bearing debt by
ninety millions, in spite Of the extraor-
dinary expense Of the Panama canal
and saving of nearly nine millions
on the annual interest charge. This is
an exceedingly satisfactory showing.
There has been a reduction Of taxa

RESTORE THE NAME.

For years the name of Astoria
figured properly, and as prominently
as any OF her fellow weather stations,
on the weather map of the district in
which she lies; she was quoted first
on the list OF the stations scheduled
on that map, and had her reports
listed and analyzed along with all the
other stations OF the district. All of
a sudden her name disappeared from
the daily map and schedule and she
is now non-entity so far as the pub
lished detail emanating from the
Office of Edward A. Beales, the dis
trict forecaster, at Portland, is con-
cerned.
There are number OF people in
this city whose business makes them
eager for specific knowledge Of con-
ditions at this particular point and
who deprecate the ide-tracking OF
Astoria in this relation and want to
know why it was done; though they
are not without a pretty fair estimate
of the inspiration that wrought the
rundown. This is a regularly estab-
lished federal weather station, with
an observer, and all the apparatus in
cident to the business; it is a we'll
known port, and entitled to a place
on the map and the station list OF
the service; and if her name is not
incorporated there within a reason
able time, the Chamber OF Commerce
will be asked to take the matter up
with Willis L. Moore, chief of the
United States Weather Bureau, and
a definite and satisfactory reason as
certained for the deliberate oversight.
If we had never had our proper
place on the map, it would be a diff
ferent matter. As it is, an explana-
tion OF very pertinent sort is to be
demanded as we'll as the restoration
to the schedule. We intend to follow
this up until the affair is brought to a
point that satisfies the people in in
terest here as we'll as the general
public.

For the past score OF years we

Of all mankind in the accumulation
of wealth and in the mad spending
OF it, until we have wrought for our
selves a name altogether spectacular
and uncompromisingly shameful We
are not any too proud of the dis
tinction we have won, because the
winning has transcended every
standard of morality our fathers set
us in the old years, and reduced us
to the level of takers and frauds and
mountebanks; and what is worse than
all else, we have sanctioned the
passage of laws drawn specifically
for the furtherance of plundering in
finance, commerce, industry, society,
trade in the very courts; we have
exploited our very credit until only
our natural resources stand between
us and dishonor; nor will they bear
too extraordinary a strain. The

THE SILENT MAGNATES.

Every man with the slightest ac-
quaintance with the methods and
policies of railway builders, knows
that marked degree of silence is the
only safe and dependable line of ac-
ton they can pursue in the construc-
tive days of their enterprise; that it
is their peculiar province to know and
say nothing of the plans and purposes
of those behind the great projects
they, the lesser men, are carrying
out; and this on the simple score of
business; and we of Astoria are as
free to admit this as any can be, in
regard to the big railway ventures
that bear directly on the progress and
prosperity of this port and city.
But when a transportation line,
or system, has been practically COM
pleted and its agency and potency, in
a given direction, and relative sense,
are open to challenge, admittedly op-
perfume and nationally significant, we
believe that community of the size
and Importance of Astoria, has the
unequivocal right to ask questions
that are relevant and inspired of an
honest desire to be put in touch with
that which concerns it most.
