The Willamette is rising steadily and Is now over the Ash-street dock at Portland. Wartlugera are looking for more room, and freight stored on the lower docks Is being moved to places where it wilt be out of the way of the water. The river lucks four or Ave feet of coming over the lower dock at Oak street, but it is tnought doubtful whether It wilt come up high enough to cover that wharf. There is not u great deal of snow in the mountains, and high water Is not ex pected this year. Tho Columbia River rockers Asso ciation yesterday made Its first ship ment of the spring catch, l'.HX), sal mon. The consignment going from the city canneries consisted of six car loads, which went East by the A. & C. It It. Three car-loads were also sent by ono of the river boats from Eure ka to the same market, via Portland. From now on the association will keep Its salmon moving lively. The pack so fur made, which is largely in excess of that up to the corresponding date in the 1899 season, Is well advance! to the point of completion, and a eon slderable force of men will now be steadily employed tn boxing and oth erwise adding the finishing touches, preparatory to Immediate shipment The quality of the salmon Is extraor dinarily good and was never put on the market In better or more gener ally satisfactory condition. It will be recalled that some months ago, after theVemovol of John Trim bath to the Insane asylum, his former residence In this city was entered and stripped, by some unknown thief, of every article of value It contained. Among the articles taken was the wearing apparel of both Mr. Trim bath and his wife, besides a consid erable quantity of nearly new and val uable bed and table linen. Every ef fort waa made by the police at the time to detect the guilty party but without avail, and the occurence grad ually ceased to be talked about and waa forgotten by the general public. It sjems, however, that Chief Hallock has never dropped the matter and has been watching with ceaseless vigilance for some clue which would explain the mystery, lead to the recovery of the goods and the punishment of the crim inal. His Investigations have finally cul minated in the location of most of the stolen goods, and there is no longer any doubt aa to the man who took them. ' The goods, or a large portion of them, have been traced to the pos session of Mrs. John Wiern, whose husband went some time ago to Alaska In tho employ of the Taku Packing Company, and who, Mrs. Wlern has confess! d to Chief Hallock and Sheriff Llnvllle, entered the Trlmbath house and took them. Steps will be taken at once to bring Wlern back from Alaska and he will doubtless be ar ralgned for his offensw, fined and duly punished. The affair reflects much credit upon Chief of Police Hallock and on Sheriff Llnvllle, who later ren dered valuable assistance In Mr. Hal lock's investlagtlon, COST OF PUBLIC LIGHTING. What the City Could Ho If It Would to Release the Municipality and the Cltlxens From Extor tion. The West Shore Mills Company's ogen's have stated that If the city built an electric lighting plant It could only furnish lights for streets and public buildings and not to pri vate consumers, and consequently there being no revenue except the pay ing of public lights, the Inventrncnt in an electric lighting plant would be a eontly burden to the taxpayers of the munlelpullty, It has been admit ted, at the same time, that If the city could furnish publh; lights and a:so lights to private consumer at a nit of say one-third that charged by the West Shore Mills Company, the invest ment in u municipal lighting plant would bf n paving one. This claim that the city U restrict ed to public lighting only, had its birth and hus been fostered In it growth by the friends and agents of the West Shore Mills Company. The propoKltloii Ih abnolutely fulite. The city of Astoria could today. If It hud an electric lighting plant, supply lights to any and all who wanted to buy them at any rat? the water corn-mo-th n might see fit to charge. Th. b'glhlalure of 1S97, In amending the charter of the city of Astoria, under (chapter 13, dealing with the water oomiulfHhiii, ays: "The city of Astoilu. Is authorized and empowered to contract or purchase, keep, conduct and maintain water works therein, of a character and copxclty to furnish the cliy ai d the Inhabitants thereof with an ahundurv e of good, pure and whole some water for all uses and purposes necessury for the convenience and well being of the name, and ALSO ONE or MORH ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANTS to Is? operated by water or other pow er; for the purpose of supplying the city and THE INHABITANTS THEREOF, with an abundance of electric lights for ALL USES WHAT EVER, and Is hereby AUTHORIZE and EMPOWERED TO SUPPLY THE CITY AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF with ELECTRIC LIGHTS; and to that end may acquire by pur chase or otherwise and own and pos-si-ss such real and personal property, within and without the limits of the city, as In the Judgment of the per sons herein authorised (In other words, the water commission) to con tract, purchase, conduct and maintain the same, etc., etc." This settles the question of the right of the water commission to establish and operate an electric light plant and to sell light In any quantity, to who soever desires to buy It at any rates they may see fit to fix. The right of the city to build, main tain and operate an electric lighting plant for the benefit of its citizens in dividually and collectively, having been established, the next objection to be answered is that such a plant would not pay. Theoretically this ob jection could be easily disproved by quoting statistics from other cities, less In slxe than Astoria, where the public utilities are owned and operated by the municipality. But more convinc ing proof to reasonable and unpreju diced people la at hand here at home by Blmply making a comparrlson of costs and receipts of the water sys tem. On an investment of $300,000 the city of Astoria received last year an In come of $28,000 from Its water service. It will be admitted that three times as much light as water is used by the citizen at his home and ten times as much by the business man at his fac torj'i store or ofllce. Mr. Adums. the engineer of the wa ter commission, some three years ago furnished estimates, with plans and specifications, showing that an electric lighting plant, for public lighting on ly, could be constructed for $15,000, the plant to light public buildings and sup ply 50 street lights. And the water commission received bids, based on Mr Adums' plans and specifications, of fering to construct a plant able to fur nish 50 street lights, 2000 candle power, for 611,000. What could be done three years ago for 611.000 could be done in these days of electrical improvements for 67,500, but Astoria needs more than 50 street lights and her cltixens need relief from the extortionate charges they are now compelled to pay for lighting their stores and houses. However, the most economical taxpayer must admit that If the city only engages in public light ing and can build a lighting plant for public lighting only for 611.000, the sav ing to the city over the rates charged and sought to be charged by the West Shore Mills Company would more than repay the Investment in a few years. At the same time Mr. Adams made his estimates for a public lighting plant only, he provided the water commission with estimates for an elec tric lighting plant to cost 660,000, this cost to include the erection of poles, stringing of wires, purchase of over 100 street lamps and the wiring and elec tric lighting of every public ana pri vate building In a town of 50,000 In habitants and the commission found his estimates and specifications cor rect If the water system pays (23,000 In come annually on an Investment of f.'M.VX), what would an electric light plant, with six times as much light used as wat'-r, pay on an outlay of 640,0007 These are facts for the taxpayers to consider. If a merchant who is now lighting his store at a cost of 130 per month, ran double tl.e number of his lights at a cost of 610 to 612 a month under a service from the clly, and at the sums time have the money he pays for lights Increase the city's revenues and thus lessen his taxes, why should he not welcome municipal ownership of city lighting? If the citizen who Is forced to burn coal oil in his residence, can replace four or Ave coal oil lamps with eight or ten Incandescent lights at '.he cost of coal oil, at the same time reduc ing his Insurance and paying the mon ey for his light Into funds that ulti mately reduce his taxes, why should he not welcome municipal ownership? It troperty owners on any street in the towu cHn get street lights for the mere cost to the city of the poles, wires and lumps (for the electric plunt, If built as was sometime ago planned, would furnish street lights for a city of tVi.OOO Inhabitants) why should they not welcome municipal ownership of lights? There should be no false sentiment about the public lighting. Charity be gins at home and that Is In the tax payer's pocket. Resile he wants what n pays for and no matter what Invest ment a private' concern has made or when they made if they cann'tt fur riih as g jid goods at as low a price as the taxpayers can g'.-t ihetn by combining and doing their own shop ping, then let the private concern get out of buslnesM. Astoria con have every one of Its streets well l,;;hiej; ,-very one of Its stores, factories, dwellings, etc., well lighted and rot only save the consum ers of llKht money direct as buyers, but increase the revenue of the city thou sands of dollars every year, thus fav Ing money to every taxpayer, whether he usee light or not. ATTACKED THE CHIEF. John Kenney Openly Accuses Chief of Police Hallock With Iking Guil ty of Vugrancy A Lively Row. "Why don't you arrest your chief of police for vagrancy? I asked you that question the other night," said John Kenney, angrily, to Policeman Stark In Judge Nelson's court room yesterday afternoon. Kenney started to explain what he meant by asking the question and waa specifying his charges, when friends Interfered and stopped him. Chief of Police Hallock was present when Kenney asked the question but took no notice and the matter was dropped. The cause of Kenney's anger waa the arrest of a man in his employ on a charge of vagrancy by the police sev enil nights ago. Kenney says he sent for the man. but his new building not being completed concluded not to put hlra to work for a day or two. Wldle Idle he was arrested by the police for vagrancy. When first arrested the man was tried and convicted of vagrancy by Judge Nelson, who Imposed a 630 fine, but suspended it on an agreement that the man would leave the city. The police took the man to the Bailey Gat zert Just before that boat pulled out on Tuesday night and put him aboard. Instead of proceeding directly on its way to Portland the Gatzert stopped at one of the canneries to load freight and the man, shipped as a vagrant by the police under the suspended sen tence, walked ashore and came back to Kenney & Gribbler's place and went to work. Later on Tuesday night Policeman Stark, who knew the man had been ordered shipped out of town, ran across him and took him into custody. The prisoner appealed to Kenney to save him from Jail and here Is where the dllhiculty arises that caused the trouble of yesterday w hlch, by the ?ay. Is by no means settled. Kenney says he put up 6-0 for the man's bail and expected him to be tried Wednesday afternoon. Police man Stark says he took Kenney's 620 in payment of the fine already assess ed against the vagrant and which he holds became due ien the man dls obeyed the orders of the court and re turned to Astoria. Kenney hofclp that the man left As toria when police put him on the boat and that ke had a perfect right Fop RttlAlia and Narvnn fVinr.Vra aiMth aa Wind and Pain in the Stomach, Sick Headache, ' Giddineaa, Fulness and Swelling after meals, Dii- , lineaaand Dro :iess, (Jold (.hills.

St. to come back here If he had work, and hi consequence demanded the return of his ball money. Officer Stark stuck to it that Kinney's money was not put up as ball, although he admitted that Kenney, In putting up the money kept talking of ball, "but." he added, "I kept talking of his fine and took It for his fine." Judge Nelson said the matter was beyond his Jurisdiction. That the po lice had turned Kenney's 6-0 In as pay ment of the vagrant's line. He said that If Kenney put the money up as bail his only recourse. In view of the statements of the police oftlcer, was to bring civil suit for Its recovery. Then it waa that Kenney openly accused the chief of being guilty of vagrancy and made the further statement that the police v.ere simply trying to bun co him out of 620, and that he would not stand it. He said he would bring suit to recover the money. This trouble grows out of a long standing, semi-smothered quarrel be tween Kenney & Gribler and Chief Hallock, and ugly rumors are afloat which should be proven or silenced. It Is presumed Kenney's suit will bring the matter to a final Issue. LOCOMOTIVES RUN WITH OIL. One of the largest lailroads 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 Hosteller'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 medicine can be had of any druggist Try a bottle and be convinced. It will build up your debilitated system, 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. REPUBLICAN TICKET.
