The Uniting schooner Petrel took on Ice and ballast yesterday afternoon preparatory to leaving out for the hal ibut banks some time this morning. The Petrel was only recently purchas id at Portland by a Seattle company to be used In addition to Its five schooners already being oeruted on the halibut banks. She will fish on the way to the Hound and lea-ve her catch at Seattle, which will hereafter be lu r home port. For tha Information of the precinct election ollb-ers It may be stated that County Clerk Wherlty Is arranging to forward the necessary election supplies' to the Interior precincts ten days prior to election day so that there can be no doubt as to their arrival In suf ficient tlrpe. Supplies to precincts along the line of the railroad will be sent out from the olllce later. The work of preparing the election supplies Is a tremendous task even for a coun ty the slse of Clatsop, Involving much Intricate and tedious work. The Grand Court officers and a dele gatlon from . the several Portland courts of Foresters arrived In the city yesterduy noon to assist the members of the local court In Initiatory cere monies. There was a large number of candidates Initiated Into the mysteries of Forestry, and enough applications were received to keep the member of Court Astoria busy for some time to come. After the Initiatory ceremon ies, all sat dawn to a aumptous repast, with addresses by the grand officers and visiting members. Interspersed with music, recitations and songs. The Columbia and Snake rivers are rlblng at all points. The weather ob servers report that the Willamette Is practically stationary. At Portland the Willamette started at 12.6, an Increase of five-tenths of a foot In 24 hours. It Is believed that the Willumette at Portlund will reach a height of 15 feet by the latter end of the week. Every station along the Columbia hus report ed a change In the stage of the river. Northport, a little town In Northeast ern Washington, reports a rise of one feet and two-tenths, while The Dulles heads the list with one foot and three tenthB. Changes have occurred along the Snake also, except at Lewiston, where the river was stationary. There Is every Indication, therefore, that the glllnet fishermen, who have been pray ing for muddy water for several days past, will soon be accommodated. LOCOMOTIVES RUN. WITH OIL. One of the largest tatlroads on the Pacific, coast has decided to substitute oil as fuel for Its engines. But whether the expermlment will prove a success remains to be seen. In this respect It differs from the famous HoBtetter's Stomach Bitters, which has made a decided success In Its fifty years of cures of stomach Ills such as dys pepsia. Indigestion and biliousness. Do not experiment with unknown remedies when this safe and reliable mrdlclne can be had of any druggist. Try a bottle and be convinced. It will build up your debilitated ryBtem, strength en your weak stomach and make It capable of digesting the food taken Into It, and when this Is done heullh must naturally follow.

PRESENT EXPENSE TOO HIGH RciMis Why lb Water Commfisloi Is Bclof Blames' for lbs Fresco I Cosdltloi ol Aflslrt-New Pis at lor Cheaper Ll(hts. As was stated yesterday, the streets of the rlty of Astoria will probably be left In darkness for a time after May 17, owing to the fact that the city council refused at its lust meeting to again contract for electric lights at IS txtortl mutfl rates demanded by the West Shore Mills Company. Not only did that company demand high er rates per light than was Just and equitable, but It wanted to Increase th i rice paid per month $25, while de creasing the number of lights ten and In addition refused to guarantee that any of the lights should be of a given candle power, refusing to even guaran tee 1.200 candle power per light. The people, the water commission and the city council have known for months this light problem was bound to come up'for a final settlement when the present contract with the West i Shore Mills Company expired. It was also known that the citizens were I against puylng the rates that have bet n Paid In the past, let alone In creasing the rate and decreasing the service, and weeks ago It was gener ally understoKl that the water com mission either had a plan of Its own. involving municipal ownership and th use of the almost completed wa ter .lower of the city, or had received from private parties a bid for the furnishing of city lights, a plant to be constructed and operated by the city's water power. While the fact that the water com mission has done absolutely nothing In the lighting matter, so far as any body knos, was a disappointment to the council and the citizens generally, still It did not keep the council from doing Its duty when the time came and when confronted with the situation of poor lights, few In number, of no guaranteed power at extortionate rates or no lights at all, the council was brave enough to at once decide upon no lights at all. After all, there Is nothing particular ly alarming In the proposition of tak ing the electric lights out of the streets of the city. The situation Is not such a terrible one. In the first place, the lights have been cut from sixty under the original contract at 1325 per month to fifty under the existing contract at 1375 per month, and the bid of the company offered at the last meeting proposed to cut the number of lights to forty In future and. as stated, to raise the price to the city from $375 to MOO a month. In the second place the West Shore Mills Company refused to guarantee that the forty lights they proposed to furnish would be of any specified candle power, thus leaving the com pany at liberty to furnish any sort of lights It pleased. A half dosen cities In the state of Oregon have been confronted within the past two years with exactly the same situation and In every case the authorities have simply thrown out the electric lights and let the streets go dark .until some other system of lighting was introduced. None of these cities suffered In the least, but on the contrary are better lighted at less cost today than ever before. It will be so with Astoria and the citizens of Astoria are heartily In ac cord with the council's action and most openly approve of it Last night the Taxpayers League, than whom no or ganization in the city has a better right to speak for all the people, en dorsed the council's action In doing away with the West Shore Mills Corn pony's services In street lighting and suggested the adoption of gasoline lamps In the place of arc lights. This Is only one of a score of sub stitutes for arc lights that the coun cil has ready at hand. Acetylene gas has proven a splendid substitute for electricity, being much cheaper In pro portion to the candle power of the lights. Benzine lamps of the pattern now in use In all the larger EaBtern cities In the suburbs, are also rec ommended as much cheaper and bet ter than West Shore Mills Company's electric dlghts. Even If the streets are left In dark ness for a week or two, the citizens would prefer that state of altolrs to remaining under the extortion 'practic ed and attempted to be increased by Hart for many year been tht the EniFliflh lanenaira PS LIS STAfJD WmZSUT A RIVAL Lin curing Indigestion, Sick Headache.

Put for the haste of Auditor Nel son In returning the West Shore Mills Company's certified check on Monday night, the council might have accepted that corporation's bid, ex tortionate as it was, for a year and thus continued the arc lights until the water commission could get sufficiently awake to do something. The truth of tho matter Is that the water com mission has been more than remiss In its duty to the city In this lighting matter. The members of that body knew weeks ago that the contest over city lighting was coming. They also snew when It would come and they hod It In their power to meet the emergency that will now exist by eith er taking steps towards having the city utilize Its own water power In furnishing Its own lights or making such offers to outside parties as would, cause a new electric company to be formed, renting the city water power for its use. Atorln has $10,009 lock ed up In the unfinished water power and every Inv the nlsnt nimli l.n tho !'ltr Is loslmr more and more monev. The turbine wheel Is in place, a num ber of the buildings at the power plart are erected and many other util ities there In shape to be used, with but a small additional expenditure of money. A few thousand dollars add ed to the money already Invested, and upon which the city Is paying Interest for letting It He Idle, while the wa ter power plant rusts and rots away, would put Astoria In shajie not only to light Its streets well and cheaply but to furnish light and power to Indi vidual consumers who would jump at the chance of getting good service at equltuble rates. The sltuution at present seems to be that the council has done its du ty; the citizens approve of its actions and now look to the water commis sion to get to work and meet the sit uatlon without an hour's loss of time. Municipal ownership Is by no means a necessity, although It Is favored by a majority of the people. It U known that parties here at home and cap! tallsta from abroad are ready to in vest money In a lighting plant In As torla providing they can secure the use of the city's water power. The council can light the streets by some one of the many proposed sys terns, If It Is found absolutely neces fary to do so, for the few months It would take to Install a new lighting plant and complete the water pow er and then the city would be In a position to be forever free from the exactions of any corporation so far as public lighting Is concerned. Not on ly this, but it would be in a poslUon to adopt other economical measures of public service. What will the water commission do? Certain It Is Astoria citizens w1U not quietly consent to the council going back on the action It has taken. OUT OF THEIR ELEMENT. The Common Council Is Not Elected to Represent This City In Matters of Trade and Transportation, ASTORIA. May 8. Editor Astorlan. What are the duties of the common council? I bad supposed councilmen were elected to provide for the main tenance of municipal government In such particulars as appertain to that work, I concede that they represent the city. But by what authority do they assume or presume, by virtue of their position, to represent the people of this city in discussing questions pertaining to the conomy of transportation and our commercial relations to other parts of the state? As Individuals they have the right to give utterance to any Ideas or convictions they may entertain on these or other subjects, but they have no right, and it is the most gross pre sumption on their part, to pretend to speak for the city on these quesUons. They were not elected for that purpose. Indeed, they would not have been elected at all had It been conceived that they would prove so Indescribably silly and verdant as to permit them selves to be made the puppets of -the man who is writing all this trash and getting Into the press through the me dlum of our councilman's what Bhall I say, to put It mildly vanity? Gentlemen of the council, are you not aware that everybody In town knows who Is the author of your long-winded articles and resolutions? No newspa per of standing In the state will publish his articles under his own name, there fore he is "working" you to give cur rency to his vaporlngs. Some think he Is paid by certain enemies of Astoria to "work" you in this way, and the character of the articles he has so far succeeded in getting you to father, strongly supports that theory. Per sonally, however, I attribute it entirely to his Innately mischievous disposition, his ever present desire to meddle In matters that do not concern him and which he does not understand. You prate about "common point rates," Vo you know what Is meant popular family medicine wherever la took ml. and the uov by making a place a common point for transportation purposes? If you do, thon why do you permit him to make you speak In favor of giving Portland a differential, that Is, a cheaper rate than Astoria? You say you want a common point rate with Puget sound ports, but concede a cheaper rate to Portland. What grain do you Imagine Is coming here? That which his tribu tary to the Sound or that which Is trlb tary to the Columbia? If the former, how can you get It If the Sound Is given equal rates? If the latter, how can you get it If Portland Is given better rates? Come, Messrs. Councilmen, we will not object to your suggestions touching street Improvements, but please do not pretend to speak for this city on sub jects that you know so little about. For your own sake, If not for ours, keep still. The last resolution requests tha Oregonlnn to publish an alleged Lanswcr, written by the aforesaid, and signed by one of the councilmen. Let us hope that for once the Oregonlan Will do us a kindness and refuse that request. CITIZEN, A SINGULAR ACCIDENT. Four Men and a Horse Fall Fifteen Fet and Escape Unharmed. A singular accident occurred In Un- lortown yesterday afternoon. The fact that several lives were not lost is what gives the phase of singularity to the affair. Lem Simpson, the driver of one of Ross, I!l?gin and Company's delivery wagons, was driving his rig along the new road Just west of the Elmore can nery and came upon a party of men who were putting up a telephone pole. In order to allow the rig to pass one of the men withdrew a "pike" which barricaded the road. The top t,f the wagon, however, in passing, struck one of the ropes attached to the derrick, precipitating it to the ground, the pole falling ' between the horse and the dash-board. In doing so, precipitated the derrick to the ground, the derrick falling be tween the horse and the dash-board. The horse. In its fright. Jumped over the railing at the side of the road to the rocky beach below, a distance of about fifteen feet, and, in doing so, carried the wagon, the driver and bU companion with It On the way over, the horse took two of the telephone men along, they having been knocked over the railing In the rush. The four men, the horse and the wagon landed at the bottom In a general jumble, one of the men lighting on the horse's back. When the n.ix-up once became untangled it was found that the only casualties consisted of one man be' lng slightly bruised and a wagon bad ly demoralized. As to the horse, he Immediately gathered himself together after he had recovered from the sur prise and trotted up the bank Into town. REPUBLICAN TICKET. For Legislature F. R. STOKES J. E. YOUNG.'
