almost bashfully toward him.

Much Water Wasted

Complaint Is made that people are
permitting their water faucets TO run,
even though there is no longer the
slightest danger Of the pipes freezing
At night. That this is true was proven
last Friday night, when the water
went down faster than il had in the
day time even. IN the day time,
with the whole city using water, The
faucets would be shut off al times,
but that night there must have been
scores and even hundreds left TO run
ali night. It Is said that in some
homes in the city it is a practice to let
the water run all the time, though for
no particular reason, and il is said at
the Office Of the water commission
that II this can be proven against
these householders their water viii be
shut off entirely. AS the city grows
Il will be necessary 10 install meters
to cmasure the water used.

Of the steamer "Harbor Queen Mr..
Deane accompanied his daughter to
her destination and gave her away"
in this, the happiest crisis Of her life,
which every one Of her numerous
clatsop friends earnestly hope may
grow happier day in and year out.
Ii was necessary for Miss Deane to
make the trip because her afianced
could not leave his vessel to come
over here, important and delightful as
the errand would have been.

Telephone Tie-up
The fierce spell Of weather which
swept over this country lately has
fallen with disquieting effect upon the

phone Company in this city, hamper
ing and hindering the work in various
ways and putting il back several
weeks, more particularly in the matter
Of the delivery Of essential supplies,
much Of which have been held Up BY
delayed trains, let alone the impedi-
ment offered TO the outside work Of
the men sent here. These same men
are wanted on other work, elsewhere,
and are now under orders to rush
everything here in order to meet new
engagements Of the company, and no
minute will be lost in expcditing the
balance Of the work in Astoria. 1T
was well forward when the storm set
in but there is yet much to do. In
anticipation of its early completion,
the company is ready to make its new
contracts for service and has estab-
lished a desk at the Office here for
closing this end of the business up
and will be glad to have all patrons
call and sign up for the new phones
at once 50 as to be prepared for the
inauguration Of the new business.
This is as much needed for the busi-
ness as for the company. since many
Of them viii want to use the new tele-
phone number on their business sta
tionery and in other ways and it is
well for them to know what they are
going to use. The whole system Of
numbers and phones must be chang
ed and a new telephone directory got
ten up and issued to meet the com
plete change in the business.

Mr. Whyte Of the Chamber oi

II, A. Wheeler, chairman Of tn,

cordially inviting the $50 school chill
dren which are 10 make d trip through
the Northwest this spring, to include
Astoria in their itinerary, This let.
ter was written at the suggestion Of
Tom Richardson Of the Portland
Commercial Club and II is suggested
that business houses in Astoria write
10 their business connections in Chi

that Il Is one OF the best advertising
plans ever prepared for Oregon to
have 'hese school children visit the
different sections Of the State. There
viii be three representatives chosen
from each of the 50 best schools OF
the eighth and ninth grade and they
will journey for two months through
all the counties OF the State Of Ore
gcu Il the plans are perfected, In
the Chamber Of Commerce letter TO
Mr., Wheeler appear these statements;
Astoria should be visited by these
children for the reason Of the extra
ordinarily large amount Of historic
and fiction lore clustering about the
place where Lewis and Clark came
for the winter after completing their
journey across the continent; the
place established by the founder Of
the Astor family in America; the
place made famous by Washington
Irving in his literature; and aside
from all Of the dead past, of the keen
est interest because Of its being at
the mouth Of the greatest river that
flows from the United States into the
Pacific Ocean. The ietty construc-
ton at the mouth Of this river, the
most important Of its kind in the
world today should be seen by the
school children who desire to most
iully inform themselves upon current
.opics. Every school child should
know about the royal Chinook salmon
which is the most famous food fish in
The world today and Astoria enjoys
peculiar monopoly onf this salmon.
The largest standing fir spruce and
hemlock trees in the world are in

A Funny Proposition

n AAitg AA0PSSAtaSA
There is gentleman in this city
who owns fine, blooded bull-pup
with strong strain Of fighting pro-
pensity in her. The other day she
was passing the Rogers pharmacy on
Commercial street near Tenth when
she happened to spy in the big show
window, the famous plaster-of-Paris
bulldog, used at intervals by that
class of animals, and she became
obsessed with the notion that the fe-
rocious looking, but innocuous, beast
was there to taunt her. She made a
furious dash at the glass and the
more her failure to get at the big
dog was borne in on her, the madden
she got; and now, she never gets by
the house without strenuous effort
to get in the store. Yesterday she
made it, and when she found the ugly
and unresponsive beast on the floor,
right at her very jaw, she made
bound at it snarling vicinity, until
she went up against it, and now there
isn't sillier looking dog in the city.
This is the second instance Of the
kind. A we'll known citizen had
dog Of the same breed here some
time ago and it followed him into
Mr.. Rogers place of business one
day; it saw the imitation pup at
once, and turning its hair on end be-
gan to growl and side up to and
around the image; but finding Il inn
pervious to all dares and fight signs,
began an investigation that resulted
IN its complete chagrin, and il, too,
left the store with its tail down and
It's scrapping spirit wholly subdued,

An allusion IN the Astorian Of Sun
day morning to an old ordinance
which provides that roofs Of buildings
IN the city must be painted red has
brought out the information that this
ordinance still stands, though in
slightly modified form. A few years
ago q general building ordinance was
passed, and in this il il provided that
all buildings In the FIRE limits, unless
covered with some form Of metal
roofing, must be painted with red
mineral paint. Why this paint pro-
vision is required may be matter OF
mere conjecture, unless for the well
known fact that red paint will burn
with as much avidity as any other
kind that contains oils. But the fact
remains that this red paint ordinance,
like scores Of others that cucumber
the ordinance books, are not enforc-
ed. Another council, with aesthetic
tastes better developed, or less de-
yeloped, might demand that roofs be
painted a pretty robins egg blue, or
beautiful eerise wouldn't 60 bad in
the eyes Of some. Il really would
prove amusing, as well as probably
highly profitable. II at least a third
Of the ordinances were lived up to.
