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

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.

BUMMER RESORTS.
"To the mountains our people In In
creasing numbers yearly look for thos
lays of relaxation and recreation nec-i-aisary
to maintain the human ma
chine In fair working conlitlon. The
languorous sloth of the seashore proves
very seductive while It Uits, but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not 'only
radical change of air and surround
logs, but also such stimulation of
(lagging energies as will provide brawn
and vigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble, the balsam of the mountain
pines, and the clear, unadulterated
mountain air.
"In this lirectlon the Shasta Rout
now affords a wealth of attractions.
The entire line of road from Ashland
to Redding la studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps, where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
reasonable cost, and where you can
hunt, fish, ride, loaf, or play with
equal facility.
"Or If you look for healing waters,
none better can be found, hot or cold,
than the springs of Ashland, Coles tin,
Anderson, Bartiett, Byron and Paso
Rubles.
"Before visiting Europe, the people of
the Northwest should see the glories
of Yosemite valley, and the wondrous
groves of Mariposa and Calaveras;
the Parisians are likely to make In
quiries concerning these attractive re
sorts." Send to Mr. C. H. Markham, general
passenger agent. Portland, for new
booklets on Castle Crag, Shasta
Springs, McCloud river, Yosemite, and,
excursion rates thereto.
