Joseph Huchel, a fifteen-year-old As-
torlu boy, la a hero on the West Slle.
lie was visiting friends In the local
ity and was hunting over tbe Adair
farm. In crossing a field the lad saw
a maddened bull In the act of goring to
death an employe of the farmer nam
ed Preston. The bull had chased Pres
ton, caught and tossed him and, aa he
fell to thu ground helpless, started to
gore him. Young Huchel. w(th rare
presence of mind for a boy so young,
raised his rllle and, aiming at a spot
just behind the bull's foreleg sent a
bullet through the animal's heart and
saved Preston- life, "They always
told me to shoot a oVer that way,"
said Huchel, "uud I thought what would
kill a deer would kill a bull, and I
tried It." Preston Is glud he did.
It has been suggested that the cham
ber of commerce, push club and other
commercial organizations of the city
give to the visiting delegates of the
grand lodgrf of Odd Fello-va of Oregon
an entertainment of a public nature.
Whether this should take the form of
a banquet, during which the visitors
and our own representative rltlscns
will bo abl'i to expriMs their vI-.hvs con
cerning Astoria, or whether It shall
be a mass meeting of the cltliens to
which the delegates will be Invited, Is
undecided. Certain It Is that some pub
lic recognition shoulj be given the
Odd Fellows who will attend the grand
lodge. They come from every county
In the state of Oregon, and the good
or bud opinions of Astoria they will
carry home with th?m will depend
lurgely upon how much they learn
about our city and Us resources during
their sojourn here. The resident Odd
Fellows seem unac .'ountably lukewarm
In arranging for the grand lodge meet
ing they struggled so hard to get.
With a little effort on their part, num
erous enjoyable excursions could
be arranged to points of in
terest adjacent to Astoria without
much trouble or cost. While It is Quite
true thnt the grand lodge of Odd Fel
lows will have a considerable amount
of Important business to transact,
still tha old axiom of "all work and no
play mukes Jack a dull boy," will be
found to be held true by most of the
visitors. A few short excursions with
at least on public reception will make
the Odd Fellows' gnnd lodge meet
ing of 1900 one of pleasant remem
brance. Despite the fact that It has
been announced that accommodations
havo been secured for all ihe delegates
who aro expjeted to be In attendance
upon the grand lodge, J. V. Welch,
chairman of the reception committee,
states that tho number of available
rooms, as far as reported, Is still far
short of the requirements. He has,
therefore requested that all those who
are In a position to supply accommo
dations of this nature notify him of
the fact without delay, as he Is keep
ing a register upon which all entries
will be made.

"I am glong to call a special meet-;
Ing of the council before the explra-',
Una of the street lighting contract,",
autd Mayor Hergman, "and the water,
commission can meet with them, If It '
desire. While I have no opinion to
express regarding the lighting que-1
lion, other than to say I would be very j
sorry to see the streets in darkness. I
quite agree with you that the light- j
Ing question should be settled at once." j
There Is more In this coming spec-1
lal meeting of the council than ap- j
pear on Ihe urfee. The owner and
agents of the West Bhoro Mill Com
pany have not given up all hope of
continuing their hold on the public
treasury. The emissaries of the corn-
puny have been working night and j
day, trying to atem the tide of public !
opinion. In the hope that the West I
Shore Mill Company will be able at,
tho coming special meeting of the!
council to bully, coax or bamboozle the j
majority of the touncllmen who threw j
out their bid. Into accepting some sort !
of a compromise that will allow them
to continue to rob the taxpayer upon
their own terms, "stand and deliver."
l ut lh Weat Fhore Mills Company
Is not going to be al.le to either bull-J
lore or fool the council. 1 lie citizens
f AstorU are wld.'-uwako on Ihe
llphtln,' proposition and they have
made it cleir to their representatives
In the municipal legislative body that
they not only approve of the stand
the council has taken In regard to the
West tihorj Mills Company bid, but
that they expect them to go ahead and
ferevi-r release the city of Astoria from
the choking throttle of that grasping
and qre-Mly corporation-
The council can be depended upon to
do It duty. The men who voted against
the West Shore Mills Company to
drive them from the city's treas
ury, did not act on the spur of the
moment, nor will they stultify them
selv. by going back upon the decided
stand they have taken because of the
bogle of dark streets for a week or
two, perhaps, which Is the only ar
gument that has or can be made In ob
jection to their action In refusing to
allow the city to be longer robbed.
But it la not what the council will
do that the citlzena are anxious about.
It Is what the water commission will
do, or will not do, that concerns them.
If, when the special meeting of the
council Is called, the members of the
water commission fall to meet with
that body and declare themselves upon
the public lighting question, then the
cltlxens will have reason to believe that
the power of the West Shore Mills
Company extends further than It has
ever been Imagined ven by that com
pany'a most active opponents, and Its
real enemies are not a few.
The special meeting of the council vlll
teat the metal and the manhood of the
public servant of Astoria. It will
how whether the men elected or ap
pointed to serve the people, to watch
over their Interest, to strive for the
upbuilding of the city, are honest men,
faithful to their trust, loyal to the peo
ple, or whether they are the tool of
a monopoly, and If they prove them-
selvea to be renegades and tools, the
rtasjn for their attitude on the great
public question will not be hard to
guess.
The people want the atreet lighted;
they want more and better light In
their factories, stores and dwellings,
hut they will no longer submit to ex
tortion, either as taxpayers or Individ
uals. They know that the water com
mission and city council have It in
their power to relieve them from the
extortions Imposed and practiced by
the West Shore Mills Company and if
the water commission doe not aid the
council and exercise the power It
possesses, the people will know the rea
son why.
This Is no time for coaxing and com
promising matters. The issue is cearly
cut. There are but two aides to the
question and the people's servants are
now called upon to take one side or
the other, for or against the people.

Works, Trescott" Packing Company
and other consignees, arrived In port
orriHV after a roush voyage. In
fact Captain Ree say it was the
worst voyage in ht experience and he
has been over a quarter of a century
at aea.
No ship were spoken on the voyage.
Three days out from port, Emln Peter
sen, able seaman, went Insane and
Jumped overboard and waa lost. Hard
ly had the crew recovered from the
shock of Petersen' suicide, when an
other sailor, John Eaton, collapsed and
died with inflamatlon of the stomach
and waa burled at iea.
Then a sailor named Atkinson was
attacked with pneumonia and had to
be put to bed, where he remained dur
ing the voyage. The sailor is dying
with hasty consumption. He will prob
ably be put in the hospital here.
The next sailor to fall ill was Al
fred Jensen, who waa attacked with
dysentery and had to go to bed. The
last of the crew to go on tbe sick or
mlsBlng list was Charles CUappel, an
apprentice, who broke hi arm, and then
the chapter of accidjnta closed.
Alt this time, with a steadily decreas
ing crew, Captain Rees waa working
hi ship towards port and be was a
happy man when the anchor waa drop
ped in the harbor yesterday.
The ship had but one passenger on

.SEASIDE NOT TO BLAME.
Portland Excursionist Came Without
Warning Warm Welcome Awaits
the Republicans.
"When the republicans come down
to see us next Monday night, they
will llnd the Seaside people ready to
receive them, and fully able and more
than willing to give them a good time,"
said J. H. Johannsen, of that place,
last night. "I may say that the re
publicans of Seaside feel proud over the
fact that the republican candidates
selected our town as the place for their
opening rally. But we deserve It, on
all accounts," continued Mr. Johann
sen. ' for Seaside precinct Is one of the
banner republican districts of the
county and we will roll up the same
old majority for tha ticket, legisla
tive, county and, later on, the nation
al ticket, that we have heretofore
given.
"By the bye. I want to say a word
in regard to soma of the criticisms pub
lished about the treatment of the ex
cursionists who came down to Sea
side on the Red Men's excursion a
week ago. In the first place we people
at Seaside did not know whether there
waa one hundred or one thous
and people coming. The manager of
the excursion made no arrangement
with anybody In Seaside for anything
except the grounds for the clam bake,

ly. their train waa almost two hours
late reaching Seaside, according to their
published schedule, and we did not
know whether it waa coming or not
"The weather was as bad as could
be Imagined, but we couldn't be blam
ed for that, and the weather bad much
to do with spoiling the fun of the
visitor.
"The clam bake was a fizzle. It was
worse -than a fraud but again Seaside
was not to blame. A man and woman
from Portland, hired by the Red Men.
had the clam-bake in charge. They
brought their clams with them and,
I understand, the clams were natives of
Puget sound, so they could not have
been extra fresh.
''But to show you how the Seaside
people tried to emedy the error not
of their making, I will state what our
people did. Every merchant handling
groceries In the town opened hi store
and turned it Into a restaurant Pri
vate families furnished food, one fam
ily that I know of, feeding no less than
seventy-flve people. We expected an
excursion of people with lunch baskets,
