BACHKM'S EXCURSION.
Twenty Car Loud of People Uo to
Beasldo and Feast A Disap
pointed Crowd of Merry
Mukers. There were twenty car loads of peo
ple In the excursion of the Grand
Hiicheins of the Red Men from Portland
to Bcasl.le on Bunduy lust, and It was
a miserable day for an excursion, at
that. Lut, as the Astorlun has said
time and again, tho people of Port
hind are anxious to get away from
that city on their one holiday In the
week, and consequently they took ad
vantage of the chance offered them for
an opportunity to see the sea, and over
flflten hundrvd people came down on
the speclnl train.
The ride, although a slow one, waa
a delight In Itself, and It was huge
ly enjoyed, but the reception the ex
cursionists received at the end of the
ride was a disgrace to Seaside and will
probably end excursions for awhile to
that town.
There was no place one could get a
bite to eat; there was no one who
seemed able to point out a point of In
terest or even answer a question about
the place and the result was that the
train load of people left Seaside thor
oughly disgusted with the town Itself
and the reception they received.
Two or three hundred people on the
excursion, who stopped off at Astoria,
had a good time. They founl an
abundance to eat and drink, and not at
excursion rates, either; they found
places of interest to visit and had no
difficulty In getting launches or boats
for rides on the river; some of them
went fishing; others took car rides and
generally speaking, oil the excursion
ists who stopped off at Astoria got
what they came for a good time.
And this, too, when Astoria had
made no preparation to receive visi
tors, as it was understood that the
excursion would be rushed through to
Seaside for a clnm buke. The clam
bake was about the worst trial the
Portlnnd people were called upon to
undergo, and the majority of the excur
sionists, after getting reports . from
those who had the courage to experi
ment with the bake, remained In the
cars, hungry and thirsty, without a
chance to buy a bite to eat or a drop
to drink In sight.
Excursions can be run from Portland
to ABtortu, with even additional side
trips to Seaside or Fort Stevens, and
twice twenty car-loads of people can
be given an enjoyable duy's outing.
The weather was, of course, against
outdoor amusements on Sunday last
but there was no place at Seaside
whero the crowd could gather indoors
and have a good time. In Astoria It
would have been very different and
If the business men take up the mat
ter of running Sunday excursions to
this city during the coming summer
there will be no lack of amusement for
the visitors In or out of doors, good
or bad weather.
It will only take one or two excur
sions such as that of Sunday last, to
absolutely ruin the excursion business
to Astoria and adjacent points.
LOCOMOTIVES RUN WITH OIL.
One of the lurgest lallrottds on tho
ruclllc coast hus decided to substitute
oil as fuel for Its engines. Rut whether
the expermlmcnt will prove a success
remains to be seen. In this respect It
differs from the famous Hostetter's
Stomach Hitters, which has made a
decided success In Its fifty years of
cures of stomach ills such as dys
peptda, Indigestion and biliousness, Do
not experiment with unknown remedies
when this safe and reliable nifdlclno
can be had of any druggist. Try a
bottle and be convinced. It will build
up your debilitated eynteni, strength
en your weak stomach and make It
capable of digesting the food taken
Into It, and when this Is done health
must naturally follow.
COUNCIL DECLINES
TO BE HELD UP
Refuse to Entertain Lighting Bid
of West Shore Mills Co.
MR. TRULLINOER'S WRATH
Creates Setae la Ibi Cos sell Chamber
I'poi Ills Scbemt Belsf DelcslcC
Wsler Conmliiloi In Pecs
liar Psillloa.
For the second time the city coun
cil lost night declined to accept the
bid of the West Shore Mills Company
for the contract to furnish electric
light for the city. At the meeting be
fore that of last night the council de
clined even to receive the company's
bid, as It was believed that cither the
water commission or other parties
would present some kind of a propo
sition through which the city could get
a dwent lighting service at a cost
within the bounds of reason. Last
nlKht. however, matters came to a
"show-down." The West Shore Mills
Company had put In the only bid for
the contract beginning on the 17th
Inst., but the council declined to enter
tain It because It was deemed too
excessive. This was done with a full
knowledge of the fact that unless the
bid of the company was accepted, the
city would be compelled to spend a
period In darkness after the expira
tion of the present contract
The bid submitted last night was
bused upon a minimum service of forty
arc lights, as many more to be sup
piled as nccessury, at the following
rates for single lights, per month:
"ne year I 00
Two years 7 W
Three years 7 80
Four years 7 70
Five years 7 SO
The bid Included furnishing twenty
three incandescent lights for the city
hull and Jail, without cost.
Immediately after the reading of the
bid Councilman UUInger moved that
that the council enter Into a contract
with the company for two years. Cook
wanted to make It for five years.
Sclierncckau then took the floor and,
in a lengthy speech, declared that he
wss opposed to the acceptance of the
bid because It was even more exces
sive than that of last year. He ex
pressed the belief that It would be bet
ter for the city to struggle along In
the dark for a short time and allow the
water commission time to agree on
some kind of a proposltlou.
Utslnger Jumped to his feet and In a
most emphatic manner declared he
would not stand for an instant for
Scherneckau's "darkness Idea." It was
a disgrace upon the city to even sug
gest an action.
Erlx and Parker supported the posi
tion taken by Scherneckau. Parker
declared that the rates had been gradu
ally growing higher when. In all reas
onableness, they should be materially
decreased. Three years ago, he said,
the city had (0 arc lights for J3M per
month, the next year It cost the city
1.175 for the same service and now the
city was putting up J 400 per month
for the same number of lights with
less power.
Utilnger then made another motion
to the effect that the council enter in
to an agreement for three years. There
nus a murmur of dissent to this pro
poeul and P. A. Trulllnger, the manag
er of the West Shore Mills Company,
broke the spell by stating that the
company would not take the contract
for one year at the same rate given
hist year. Sherneckau Interrupted
Trulllnger with an Inquiry as to the
candl'j-power to be guaranteed under
the schedule submitted. To this Trul
llnger replied that the company could
not guarantee any specific volume and
be safe. It could not promise lights of
2000 nor even 1200 candlepower.
A vote was then taken, as flolows:
Noes Agren, Brlx, Goddard, Parker,
Scherneckau, Svensen.
Ayes Cook, Hansen, Utslnger.
Trulllnger then walked up to the
clerk's desk and In a tone of undisguised
anger demanded that he be allowed to
withdraw his bid. He was promptly in
formed by the mayor that the document
was in the hands of the council and

"Well, I want my check for $800
buck," Trulllnger shouted. "As long
as the council has thrown out the bid
you will have no use for the guarantee
on the contract."
Trulllnger wss handed his check and
tha meeting proceeded to other busi
ness. The proposition made by the West
Shore Mills Company to dispose of Its
plant to the city was turned down
first by the committee on ways and
mtans and, finally by the council. That
the city has no desire to become pos
sessed of the plant Is evident from the
following resolution, signed oy Coun
cilman Scherneckau, Prix and Tarker,
and pussed at last night's meeting.
"Your committee on ways and
means, to whom was referred the
ItMn, would respectfully recommend
that the proposition of the West Shore
Mills Company be filed. We do not
think that at the present time the city
Is In a position to entertain any offer
of buying such an expensive plant to
llfiht city streets. Unless we can make
an agreement, on reasonable terms
with responsible parties, we would rec
ommnd that, wlw-n the present con
tract for lighting the streets expires,
the lighting of same be discontinued
until such time as arrangements for
name can be perfected, satisfactory to
the council.

Maria C. Olsen filed a remonstrance
against her lots 1.2 and 31 being In

provement of Thirty-eighth street, on
the contention that her property did
not border on that part of the street
benefitted. The matter was referred to
the street committee.
Councilman Utzlnger then presented
the following resolution:
"Whereas, the Dally On Ron Ian. of a
recent date, criticised th? icsolutlons
of the common council of Astoria as the
product of 'ignorance or prejudice' for
claiming that Astoria, as a cheap
charier port, would add millions of
dollars annually to the pockets of the
producers who trade In Portland.
"And, whereas. Councilman Cook, In
our behalf, did, on the 3d Inst., send
to the- Oregonlan an answer to said
charge and did therein set forth rea
sons why It Is to the 'mutual Interest'
of Portland and Astoria to demand
that the Union Pacific system shall at
once make Astoria a common point
with Puget sound ports on all exports
of this basin.
"Resolved, That the Oregonlan be
and it Is hereby respectfully request
ed to publish said communication from
Councilman Cook and to allow a free
discussion In its columns of this most
Important public question, to tbe end
that all the people may be fully In
formed as to the merits of the claims
made in behalf of Astoria as the sea
port of the Columbia basin."
There was some objection to the pas
sage of the resolution on the ground
that It was a matter which ought more
properly come before the commercial
bodies of the city. The discussion drifted
Into a decidedly humorous desertatlon
on what Influence the Morning Ore
gonlan did not have as well as the irir
fluence the Only Harvey did not wield
and, after the members had argued
one another into the conviction that
both were harmless "bogies," the reso
lution was passed.
The council then took up more ser
ious business. City Surveyor Tee rec
oinended that, inasmuch as the im
provement on Thirty-eighth street
could not be made under the fifty per
cent assessment rule because of a lack
of sufficient frontage property, the
north hulf of blocks 67 and 58 be in
cluded in the specifications.
Chief of Police Hallock reported that
but 511.60 had been paid out in boun
ties for rats under the terms of the
ordinance and the council voted to re
turn the balance of the $50 appropriat
ed to the general fund.
Under suspension of the rules ordi
nances were passed extending the time
In which to complete the contracts
from June 1 to July 1 on the follow
ing street work; Seventh street, from
hte west line of Tenth to the west line
of Eighth; Seventh street, from the
north line of Bond to the south line of
Astor. An ordinance was introduced
for the Improvement, by July 1, of Fif
teenth street, from the south line of
Exchange street to the north lino of
Irving avenue, the planks to be laid
upon the stringers already being used.
A motion to pass the ordinance under
a suspension of the rules was defeat
ed by the negative vote of Councilman
Parker.
The ordinance regulating re-Interments
In the city cemetery from the
old Hillside burial grounds was pass
ed with the amendment that no charge
would be made by the city as long as
those making the change provide for
the expense of the work done. All
such work, however, must be done un
der the supervision of the city's su
perintendent. An order was rassed transferlng
$220.98 from the general fund tc the
Adair drain fund.
A resolution was passed changing the
specifications on the proposed Improve
ment of Thirty-eighth street, from
Duane street to Harrison avenue, so
ai to reduce the width of the street
five feet.
Councilman Svensen was granted

POLITICAL NOTES. ;
Opening of tbe Campaign A Ticket
and Xo Ticket in the Field. j
The coming week opens, properly
speaking, the county campaign. It
promises to be the most unique politi
cal contest ever known In Clatsop or
any other country. On the one side,
are the candidates of the republican
party, regularly nominated by a con- j
ventlon composed of delegates selected
according to law, and going before the
people upon a clear cut platform
adopted by their party. They go to the
people as candidates should go, the rep- ,
resentatlves of a political party and '
the measures and reforms it stands for.
Opposed to the republican candidates j
Is a conglomeration of men running for
office. They are men of all parties and,
in this campaign, of no party. They
are not even fusionlsts and they go
before the people representing the,
platform of no party, responsible to
no party, and bound to support no
measures of reform or anything else.
The republican convention In Clatsop
county met pursuant to the regularly
published call and transacted Its busi
ness In the regular way. The demo
cratic convention waa called to meet,
and did meet and organize only to ad
journ to attend a "citizens" meeting-.
to which no delegates had been elect- j
ed, and which was assembled in a
haphazard manner from the people on
the streets. j
The "citizens" meeting nominated a;
county ticket. The highest total vote,
cast was 72 and this number was cast1
In the case of only one nomination. The
other candidates were selected by a
majority of from sixty to sixty-five
votes. j
i
After the "citizens" meeting adjourn
ed the democratic convention was to
re-convene and either nominate a tick-
et or Indorse the "citizens" ticket. But
the old line democrats were disgust
ed, and the country delegates went
home, and when the democratic con
vention reconvened there were only six
regular delegates present. These dele- ,
gates reorganized the convention and
proceeded to Indorse, for the demo
cratic party of Clatsop county, the
nominations made by the "citizens"
meeting.
After the close of the democraUc
citlzen farce, a number of ottice seek
ers who had been unable to get recog
nition from the republican party or
even from the "citizens" meeting, rush
ed around among their friends and se
cured fifty names to their petitions and
blossomed out as independents. They
were, and are, the outcasts of all po
litical parties, but for all that have
Just as good a Btandlng before the
people as the men who were nominated
by no party.
The mlxup, on one side only, does
not end here, however. The law step
ped In and refused to recognize the
"citizens" meeting as a political con
vention and refused to place on the
ballot Its nominees. This compelled
the "citizens" candidates to get out
petitions and now they have to go be
fore the people as independents, with
out a platform and wtlhout a party.
It does not seem as if It would be
difficult for the average voter to de
cide how to cast hia ballot next June.
On the other hand he has a regularly
nominated ticket, good men represent
ing a party and with a platform of
principles which they are bound to up--hold.
That Is the republican county
ticket
On the other side he has a lot of
candidates that have got upon the bal
lot helter skelter, any way they could.
They represent no party, are bound
by no platform and are, In truth,
merely running for office for the sake
of the office and not under any prom
ise to serve tbe people as public ser
vants. They are Just what the name
under which they run means, "Inde
pendents." Independent of party, In
dependent of platform, independent of
any and all promises and, as such,
they ask thj voter to support them,
The man who votes for the non-nominated
helter, skelter ticket must
either know personally the worth of
each man he votes for or must vote
blindly, for they are bound by no par
ty ties to any promises of economy
or good government or anything else.
They are simply running as so many
men who want office and make no
promises how they will conduct the
offices If they get them.
This is (he situation at the opening
of the campaign. It is not a puzzling
one. The voter should be able, " and
doubtless will easily and quickly de
cide what ticket he will support.
There is but one ticket In the field
the republican ticket.
