The cltliens of As toria generally are Invited to call and Inspect hla line of goods, whether they desire to purchase or not MUST PAY THE LICENSE. Bicyclist. Will Avoid Trouble and Ex panse by Obeying the Law Charges Answered. The blcycllsta of Astoria who have neglected to comply with the law, and pay Jhe license Imposed by the muni cipal ordinance, are going to get into trouble. Tin atate law regarding bicycles, and bicycle tiding, does not apply to Clatsop county, because the charter of the city, adopted before the bicycle bill came before the legislature, covera the same ground as set forth In the state law and the legislature gave prece dence to the charter provision, and exempted this county from the opera tion, of the state law. The municipal ordinance, under which the bicycle commission I. acting, la based upon the charter provisions, and Is undoubtedly "good law." Thla leaves the bicyclist In Aatorla a choice between obeying the law or putting away hla bicycle. The bicycle commission have no de sire to work a hardship on anybody but they are put In the place, or au thority they occupy to enforce the law and they must do it or resign. The law. aays that If you own a bloycle, and ride It In Astoria, you must pay a lli'.ns.', elite your bicycle must be aelxed, and If you then refuae to pay the license and penultiea attached for Ignoring and disobeying the law, the bicycle la to be confiscated, etc. It la a very plain and simple law, easy to obey or disobey, and the bi cycle rtd:ra have their choice In the matter as to what tboy will do. Good lawyer, say the charter provis ion and municipal ordinance baaed up on It, will stand the test of any court. Whether this be true or not It will cost the bicyclist more money to test the law, ' even If he wins, than he would expend In paying license fees for a century. IJttldea, all money, coming Into the hands of the bicycle coimnlxalon are expended In bettering the bicycle paths now existing and In building new ones. Unfjitunatcly the enforcement of the bicycle ordinance by the commis sioners, has resulted In certain -artles maklrg chargea against the members of the commission, wholly unwarrented and moat unjust. The commlaslonera serve without pay and are .worn to do their duty In enforcing the law. The two bicycles already seized, as unlicensed wheels, will be returned to their owners upon the payment of the license fee, but hereafter a penalty will be added to the license fee, as provided for In the ordinance, upon all unlicensed wheels selid. In regard to the ugly r tones afloat by gosslpa, the commissi jn haa seen fit to answer the accusations in the following letter: Editor Aatorlan: I am Informed thut some evil-minded persons have ac cused the public ways commission belter known aa the bicycle commis sionof stealing from the funda col lected last year. The cWk of the commission, Mr. Charles It. Hlggins, is the only per son handling the funda and he cannot pay out except on an rrder counter signed by myself aa chairman, and orders cannot issue without first be ing authorized by a majority of the commission. The funds collected lost year would hardly Justify the dishonesty of any of the members or the clerk of the commission, as now constituted, al though neither receive cne cent for hla labor, all being gratis, thanks to the framera of the act creating the commission. Undoubtedly the persons accusing the commission of dishonesty have pilfered wherever and whenever crance offered and the anug little sum han dled by the bicycle commission would tempt them to pock up and leave for Canada. Although not obligatory on the com mission to do ao nor requested by any of the license payors, I submit here with a statement and summary of the doings .of the commission during the year ending March 81, 19)0, vis:' J RECEIPTS.

The framework of the new Tillamook steamer, under construction for Mr. Elmore at Buple'a shipyard, Portland, Is rapidly Bearing .completion. Every Umber, and nearly every spike put in to the vessel, has undergone a rigid In spection by Captain Shrader before being used. ; Captain Shrader has taken up his residence cloae to the shipyard and has remained constantly in the vicinity of the work during its progress. Shipmasters from all over the world hare inspected the vessel and unan imously commend Mr. Suple'a work as being fully up to the standard of any builder In either this or the old coun try. The ship is being constructed under general plans worked out by Captain Shrader, who, in all that goes to make up the practical sailor and navigator, Is the peer of any man on tha Pacific coast. She will be especially adapted to the particular coast trade in which she will engage, and will have many improvements not found In other ves sel, of her class. When completed, she will represent the aunt of Captain Shrader's long years of experience and observation In coast navigation, to which end no expense 1. being spared. She is the largest vessel ever built at Mr. Suple'a yards, and her tim bers are remarkable for their solidity and the thoroughness with which they are put together. Tho engines and boilers are being constructed at the Willamette Iron Work.. They will be first-class In eevry respect and are de signed t? develop greater power than waa ever placed In a coaotlng vesel of the same class on this coast. The steamer will have every con venience, nd even the luxuries, of a flrst-cluss passenger steamship, al though she la primarily deaigned for carrying freight, her cargo capacity wing the largest of any vessel ever put In the Tillamook trade. Extra gangs of men are engaged both at the ship yard and on the machinery at the Iron works, and every effort will be mode to have the steamer in oommls elon by July 1st, next. ASTORIA WILL CELEBRATE. Buslnesa Men Take the Fourth of July Celebration In Hand Com mittee Appointed. The question of "doing something for Aatoric." In the way of aecurlng vlnltor. during the coming summer on Sunday excursions and of having a genuine, old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration, which -vlll be the "only one on the river," I. not going to be left unanswered by the business men. They are going "to do something for Astoria." Yesterday a number of gentlemen met Informally to discuss the Fourth of July proposition and, after discuss ing the matter fully, It was decided to place the preliminary arrangemente In the hanGs of the following committee: F. It Stokea, M. S. Copeland, D. Mc Allen. B. F. Allen, H. Wise, J. T. Ross, T. J. Ryrie. J. N. Griffln and A V. Allen. The gentlemen named will at once commence a canvass of the buslnesa men and citizens of Astoria generally, to ascertain how much money can be secured for a celebration of the Fourth. The extent splendor and success of a Fourti, of July celebration in Astoria will depend almost entirely upon the liberality of the cltlxens. There will be an abundance of earnest, honest volunteer workers to make It a suc cess, providing they have something to work with, but it Is impossible to give a successful or any other kind of a celebration on the Fourth of July without -sufficient funds. A fortune is not needed, but a reas onable amount of money must be rais ed, and must be Judiciously expended where and when It will do the most good. The committee appointed by the busi ness mer is composed of men who are certainly able to make a dollar buy a hundred cents worth at all times, and who know, too, what a Fourth of July celebration ought to be. In their hands both the Astorlans who give the celebration and pay for it, and the hundreda of visitors who will come here to enjoy the fun. -vlll "get their money's worth," and the city will be the. richer in many, ways thereby. Let everybody get in and help and make the celebration of the coming Fourth Just what it is planned to be. "the only celebration on the river.' GRAND LODGE ODD FELLOWS, Delegates Coming on May 23 Next- More Rooms Are Needed. The meeting of the Grand Lodge of Fellows of Oregon In this city on May 22nd next promisee to be an Import ant event Delegates from every por tlon of the state will be In attendance and in such number, as to tax the pub lic entertaining facilities of the city, Already the hotels and principal lodg ing houaes in the city are booked full ahead of time and the resident Odd Fellows are busying themselves hunt ing for rooms. There is an abundance of room in Astoria to accommodate many time, the number of delegate, who will be here, the only trouble being to find the places. Those who have spare rooms which they would be willing to rent to the delegates wlU confer a favor on the Odd Fellows by notifying any member of the lodge of their ac commodations, etc. As to the entertainment of the vlst tors they certainly have "a good time coming," for the local members of the order have prepared all sorts of en' tertalnments for them. Several ex cursions are planned and it is the In tention to give the visitors every poa aible opportunity to see all of Astoria and its environments. THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

CAMPAIGN NOTES. Citlxena Party Not Recognized ly the Law Its Nominees Must Run as Independent.. There was something of a tlr In political circles yesterday when It was learned that the recent so-called cltl xens convention was no convention at all, under the law, and that the per sons nominated by the said convention hod no right to a place on the ballot at the coming election. The law provide, that any mans convention, nominating candidates, must have at least one hundred vo ters In order to make up a ticket. The "citlxena" convention was sup pose 1 to be a masa convention but the largest number of votes cast for any person nominated waa for Charlie Ma thena for coroner, against William Pohl, the vote being, respectively, 47 to 25 a total of 72 votes. Delegate lAaley even objected to this vote, say ing the "bat had been stuffed," as previous nominations had been made by sixty odd votes. As soon as the candidates on the citizens ticket learned of the predica ment in which they were placed, they hastily prepared petitions, as provided by law, for every man on the ticket, and started out runners to get sig natures to them In order that they might go on the ballot under J he same provision which provides for the in dependent candidates men who have left all parties, 0r who have been left out In the cold by all parties. As only fifty signatures of legal vo ters are needed to a petition to place a candidate on the ticket It was easy work to aecure the requisite number of signers, but there la now no "citi zens" ticket. They are all Independ ents, on the ticket at least, and, as such, muat go before the people. 1 n democrat.), wno wanted a straight-out party ticket, and who only entered the "citizens" movement by pursuasion, are more than amused over the situation, w hlle Olsen, Pohl and Wickman sing "We all look alike to the voters now" aince their bitterest opponents have been robbed of a party dealg nation on the ballot ' The campaign lie has sprouted and, In a day or two, will undoubtedly be in full blocm In Clatsop county. Neither time, season or place affects the cam paign He. It thrives In any climate. at any tirue and under any circum stances. The flower should never be worn In Clatsop county, but that it will be is almost certain. Already, on the streets, are heard rumors affect ing this or that candidate, even go ing so far as to delve into the pri vate affairs of a roan for material to supply a mud battery . It is to be hoped that the campaign lt will be nipped in the bud by the men of all parties and of no party, and the best way lo do It is to never give the malodorous plant a chance to start. Candidate Lyman is being severely criticised for the stand he has taken on the Philippine question. "Clatsop county voters are not partial to men who consider Agulnaldo "the equal of George Washington," is the way the objectors put it At last some' of the candidates are awakening to the fact that It wlU be necessary to have every legal voter In Clatsop county registered, if there Is to be anything like a full representa tion at the coming county and national elections, and they are out looking up unregistered voters and seeing to It that they are registered. But ten days remain in which voters can res i&ter. The county clerk Is keeping his office open until 7 o'clock every Thurs day evening for the accommodation of those who cannot find the time to reg ister during the day. There are ful ly 500 voters in the city and county who are entitled to vote but who have not yet registered. The registration to date is over 2,000, as against 2,500 to 2,700, the vote In former years. There are indications, here and there, of sectional fights in the county be cause caudldatea from one localty were chosen Instead of men from an other section. These fights should be settled without unnecessary delay. A house divided against itself cannot stand the onslaught of the enemy, "Work for the whole ticket," should be the watchword of those tupportlng the republican ticket this year. RAILROAD EXCURSION.

A. hen-pecked husband never devel opes Into a free-thinker till his wife goes away on a visit PICKED UP THEIR NETS. Fishermen Spread Their Meshes In the Ship Channel on the Bar and how) Them. The steamer Harrison, . from Tilla mook, In crossing in over the bar on Wednesday night, was unfortunate enough to pick up the nets of two fishermen which speedily wound them selves about the propeller of the ves sel until the engines had to be stop ped. The nets were spread In the ship channel and there was neither lights nor anything else to mark their location, although It Is doubtful If the steamer could have avoided them with out going aground, had their been signals out From the bar up the Harrison came In under sail, docking about i o'clock Thursday morning. It will probably necessitate the work of a diver to clear the propeller, as the nets are tightly wound about the shaft and blades. The nets will naturally be a total loss. The Harrison brought a full list of passengers and over forty ton. of dairy and other produce. She will leave port on time. The experience of the steamer Har rison In entering the harbor yeiterday ' morning shows the Importance to fish ermen of answering the hail cf pass ing tugs and steamers. At one point . where the Harrison ran over a net she halted for nearly half an hour endeav oring to locate the fluhennan who raised an outcry. Although the cap tain made very effort by repeated call ing to obtain the help of the men In the fishing boat in getting around the net after their first khout of warn ing they kept silent and the steamer was Anally sent ahead, only to run squarely through the net. Although they are not obliged by law to do so, the officers of all the steamers are very accommodating to the men who crowd the channels with their boats and nets. It often happens that a steamer Is stopped to avoid running over a net In places where the tides and currents make It exceedingly peril ous to do so. In places like these. It is certainly not too much to expect of the fishermen that they will hasten, to remove their gear out of the way or, at least aid the delayed vessel to pass around the net by pointing out its location.
