COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. An Ordinance Passed Payins J. C. Trail Inger Three Thousand Dollars for Western Extension of First Street. The city council last evening heard a petition from Genevieve street prop erty owners, asking for that street's grading, which was referred to street committee. A petition from Main street prop erty owners asking that the size of the sewer pipe be 12 inches instead of 18 inches was read and, on motion, granted. A petition from Geo. W. Moore for a retail liquor license was referred. A further petition from the same ask ing that a reduction in the license from S40 a month to S100 a year be allowed him, was laid on the table. A communication from the chief engineer of the fire department, rec ommending that a small box be placed above each fire-alarm box for the key, was referred to committee on fire and water. A communication from W. L. Macy referring to proposed street monu ments, was read and referred to street committee. The committee to whom was re ferred the bids for establishing grade of city streets reported, recommending Bell & Jackson's bids, and Quinn & Braden's bids; one bid was signed by one member of the committee, and the other by another. Mayor Page ruled both out of order on the ground that the committee had been in structed to report by ordinance. The matter was disposed of by ref erence to the city charter as prescrib ing the way to go about it. Tho committee on public property reported that the contract for raising Astoria No. One's engine house to the grade had been awarded Ross & Wirt for $160: report adopted. The committee to whom had been referred the matter of the cemetery, reported, recommending that A. J. Johnson's proffer to put the cemetery in good condition for the sum of 175, be accepted: report adopted, and an ordinance ordered drafted in accord ance with the committee's recom mendation. An ordinance declaring the prob able cost of hnproviug Third street was passed under suspension of the rules. An ordinance providing for thetak ing and killing of dogs was passed under suspension of the rules. (The ordinance provides that an annual license shall be paid, of S2.5D for each male dog and 15 for each female dog wearing a collar and duly licensed.) An ordinance ordering the collec tion of delinquent assessments on the West Oth street improvem -ntwas read first and second times. An ordinance authorizing the com mittee on streets to enter into a con tract with A. J. Johnson to beautify and adorn the city cemetery for 175 was passed under suspension of tho rules. Regardiug Second street city attor ney Noland made a verbal report, ex pressing the belief that the dedica tions were good, as to the Union Pack ing Co., the Washington Packing Co., and the Iliumau tract; the matter be ing in his judgment in such shape as to justify the extension of the street. As to Cnncomly street, the Astoria and South Coast road had a right of way of sixty feet along the proposod line of the street: that was an abso lute right of way: the railroad com pany could grant back to Mr. Trull iuger, and he could theu, if he saw fit, grant it to the city. An ordinance making appropriation to pay J. C. Trulliuger $3,000 for the strip 800 feet west from his office was read third time aud passed. An ordinance establishing the grade of Arch street was read third time and passed. Councilman Bergman moved to re consider the vote at the last council meeting by which the ordinance order ing a contract with J. U. Tralhnger to light the streets of the city for one year with 22 electric lights was lost. The original ordinance was then read and passed by a vote of four to two. Councilman Cleveland protested against its passage for alleged illegal ity. The ayes were Councilman Berg men, Robb, Fox and Welch; noes, Councilmen Cleveland, Elbon. May or Page expressed his opinion that the ordinance was entirely out of order. The claims of C. A. May, for $1, The Astoriax, $32.40, and C. J Trenchard, for S3, were ordered paid: A petition from T Cadigan asking for a retail liquor license was granted. The city attorney was instructed to draft an ordinance to be presented at the next council meeting appropriat ing $1,500 to use in opening Second street, westward. Councilman Robb introduced a resolution directing the auditor and police judge to advertise for city print ing, which was passed. The city attorney was requested to give an opinion at the next meeting on the legality of the ordinance en forcing collecting of assessments for West 6th street improvement. Mayor Page made some remarks concerning the advisability of pnu dence in the administration of the finances of the city, citing the existing status, and council adjourned. Rooms.

This after noon the free swimming bath was moored at the foot of Jefferson street Yesterday afternoon it was ex amined by the building committee and was accepted and will be opened to the public to-night. This morning Messrs. D. P. Thomp son, A. L. Maxwell, F. A. E. Starr and others returned from a two weeks trip to Alaska. This morning Judge Thomas M. Cooley, chairman of the inter-state commerce commission, accompanied by Mrs. Cooley arrived here per Northern Pacific. They are stopping at the Esmond hotel. When inter viewed the judge was uncommunica tive. He said he was here to adjust a small matter at Spokane Falls. In reply to the following questien: UI imagine that the commission have a. great piece of work before them if they desire to equalize the railroad traffic of the country to the satisfac tion of all concerned in the business." The judge answered, "Yes, that is al most an impossibility. There are so many conflicting interests; so many roads are controlled by so many dif ferently minded men that I fear the much desired result cannot be reached in this particular instance." A petition that has been in circula tion here for the past two weeks ask ing that the sentence of Chee Gong, whose execution was fixed for August 9th, be commuted to life imprison ment, has been signed by nearly all the leading Front street merchants and other prominent citizens in the community. The document will be presented to the governor to-morrow, and will likely be accompanied by a full transcript of the testimony takeu at the doomed man's two trials. THE CONSULSHIP. Washington, July 30.

Secretary Noble has appointed state senator Mc Gee, of Virginia, as special agent to investigate timber depredations in Alaska at a salary of $1,300 per an num, $3 per day, hotel expenses, and all traveling expenses. Fire On tbe "Louise Vaughn." The tire bell clanged at 5:05 yester day afternoon. Five seconds after, the engines and book and ladder cart were tearing down Main street. The little steamer Louise Vaughn, lying at Gray's dock, was on fire. In a trice there were two streams playing on her blazing housing, the boys junjping aboard and fighting the flames at close range. Any one who wanted to get wet had a ohoice opportunity, and a good many who were on the dock came in for a share of the splashing. The fire was soon got out, but not till it had burned the most of the housing. The fire broke out around the boiler. The captain was ashore at the time, and there was only one man aboard. Nothing but the promptness of the department saved the boat from total destruction. The hull is unin jured, but needs pumping out. The loss is about 1,000. The Louise Vaughn was formerly the Herminia and ia as unlucky under her present as under her former name, She is owned by W. S. Chapman, of Portland, and has been used towing brush for fascines to the jetty. The captain didn't know if she was in sured. School Fond Apportionment. Salem, .July 29.

When the boys were the busiest yesterday afternoon putting the fire out a mistaken individual started in to instruct Chief Weeks what to do. Weeks isn't above taking intelligent advice, but forcibly resented this particular advice, and justly, too. The party threatens to have Weeks ar rested. He might do well to let that job out. There is an ordinance mak ing it a misdemeanor to interfere with an officer in discharge of his duty at a fire. Don't monkey with the band wagon. That pipe line on Main street is a handy institution, but to come up to the full measure of its usefulness it ought to be kept full of water. It is a tedious and dangerous delay for the engine to have to pump air be fore the water comes. It would be a good idea to try the pipe every day or se: if full of water, all right, it is ready for emergency: if not, it wonld be only the work of a few minutes to have one of the engines exhaust the air and pump it full. That is what the pipe line is for. When the blaze shoots up time is worth $25,000 a minute, in Astoria. Two minutes monkeying with a pipe line which should be full and isn't may mean all the difference in the world in the matter of property to any of us anv minute. Keep the pipe full. ITCHING AGONIES.
