This was the gem of the collection of replies Mr. Rob erts rcc.-lved.

The amusement-loving Astorlans will have the pleasure this evening of wit nessing the striking musical comedy, "The Real Widow Brown." which is under tho well-known management of Mr. A. Q.

Eagles Recognise the Services of Miss Bessie Hill In Many Enter tainments. The Esglcs on Sunday afternoon gave a social that was certainly one or the best entertainments of Its kind ever given In this city. In all the ex erclsea due regard was paid the day, Sunday, other than from a strictly re ligious standpoint. There were some two hundred guests present and, after the opening of the lodge, George Edwards rendered a cornet solo. Following. James Mackey sang the "Blue and Gray" and In re sponse to tho two encores sang cock ney songs. They would have kept Mackey singing all afternoon, but for his protest. An ac:ordlan solo by Mr. Strum and another solo on the bari tone horn by Mr. Henry D'ElIa, led up to the presentation of a gold medal on bohalf of the Eagles, to little Miss Bcsslo Hill, who hns assisted them In so many of their entertainments." The medal is a shield, pendant with two chains from a bnr, tho Inscription being from tha Eagles, to Miss Hill, bearing the date of presentation. A NEW TRAIN.

LIGHT QUESTION SETTLED TOMGIIT WW Come Before the Water Commission for Decision. Question of Public Ownership of t Public LlfbilBf Flint to Be De cide! For or Aftlnst the Tix f lyen-Fic tseod Flrures. There Is hardly a question but what the water commission, at Its meeting tonight, will definitely settle, In on way or another, the quttlon of public lighting. Whether the people of As toria shall build and overate their own electric light plant, or whether the tapuyrs shall again be made to bear the yoke of a private monopoly In pub lic lighting, Is the question the com mlsHlon must settle tonight. If the members of the water com mission have kept their promise to the people mada at their last meeting, namely to Investigate for themselves the cost of building, operating, etc., a public light plant, there can only be one conclusion which they can reach tonight in all honesty, Justice and fulrm-ss li the taxpayers, and that Is, for the city to build and run its own lighting plant. Tho commlslm, If It has tried to get facts and figures regarding public lighting plants, has had over a hun dred cities, owning and operating their own light plants, to correspond with. From the replies received from these cities It should be easy to figure all average of cost and Income of a pub lic lighting system of any dimensions and the Astorlan says now that if the water commission does not give to Astoria Its own public lighting plant. It will not be because public plants In other cities have not paid expenses and a surplus. In addition to reducing tho cost of lights to consumers from 20 to (0 per cent- Ther? are cities In the United States paying monopolies us high as 117 per month for atreH lights, the price As toria once paid, but there are other cities that ure burning their own lights for J2.S0 per month. There can be no dispute as to what the figure from the various cities show, taken separably or as an aver ag;. The question Is, have the mem bers of the water commission taken the trouble to get these figures? If they have, their decision tonight Is a fore gone conclusion; If they have not in formed themselves, then it is patent to the dullest , observer that they do not Intend to do so. In quoting figures of cost and re ceipts of public lighting plants else where, the Astorian has taken all the cltlns operating public lighting plants Just as they come. In no city has the cost of lights, un der public ownership, been within 20 per cent of the cost of the same lights under private contract, and In many Instances the cost has been leas than one-fourth that charged by private corporations. In no city where pub lic ownership has been tried has the city returned to private :ontract light ing. In no city where the public has undertaken to furnish Its own lights hus there ever been a deficit In the treasury on that account These are arguments unanswerable, so far as the wisdom of establishing public lighting plants in other cities Is concerned. It may be that Astoria Is so radically different from every oth er city of Its slie In the United States, that a different course must be pur sued here regarding public lighting but. unless that Is the case, there seems to be no valid reason for mak ing the people continue to pay 3 per month for street lights of no guaran teed pouvr rnd $1.25 per month for in candescent lights for private use, when the latest Improved street lights are being furnished elsewhsre, under pub lic ownership, for $3 per month and Incandescent lights for private use for 15 cents per month. For the friends of the West Shore Mills company .o assert that for months before the council stopped the extor tion, the publU service furnished by that monopoly was anything like the service In quality or quantity of light guaranteed the city under its contract or anything like an adequate cervlce for the price paid, would be equiva lent to calling every taxpayer who has eyes to see and who was abroad at night, and then complained of the poor service, a fool. The street lights were not only dim every night, but night after night lights at the intersection of various streets would go out entire ly ard remain out during the entire perlol of service, paid for by the city. The West Shore Mills Company excuses Itself for this failure to furnish the taxpayers with what they were paying for, on the ground that its lamps, wires, machinery, etc., needed renewing, and In order to renew '.hem they proceeded to levy an assessment on the people by' Increasing the price of lights, re fusing to guarantee that the lights to be furnished in the future should be as good, let alone any better, than those furnished In the past. Does the water commission think it Justice to make the 'axpayers buy the West Shore Mills Company new ma chinery and then pay them for the use of It Instead of buying it for them selves. The question Is sifted down to that Astoria cannot be srsperly lighted by the West Shore Mills Company with out new machinery, and the West Shore Mills Company aaya so. but It cannot buy new machinery unless the taxpayers give It more money. The taxpayers say, "If we have to buy nw machinery, let us buy it for ourselves." Tonight will settle the question and In the hands of the members of the water commission the settlement rests. It Is to he hoped thy will do their duty to themselves and the people and at the same time obey the law. THEY MUST GET TO WORK. Portland Trying to Take Astoria's Fourth of July Away Commit tee Must Hustle. Now that the county election Is over, the Fourth of July committee wants to get In and do business If Astoria Is going to have the "only celebration on the Columbia." The Fourth Of July Is a matter upon which all can agree. There Is no politics in It. It's every American's day and the fellows who have been fighting each other political ly can make friends again by Joining In booming the glorious Fourth. Rut there Is another reason for the committee getting In and working hard. Portland Is going to have a Fourth of July celebration and have "a cracker-Jack." so they say. This Is what the Telegram says about It: "At the meeting of the Fourth of July committee tomorrow night, the subscription committee will present a report which will show that enough money has been contributed to Insure a proper observance of Independence Day In Portland. Merchants have re sponded lilerally to the call for funds and General Summers, chairman of the general committee, said this morning that the work was still going forward, with every assurance of even greater success than has been so far achieved." It doesn't make any difference what Portlanl does If Astoria carries out Its original plans for the celebration of the Fourth. This city will get the crowd If It offers the attractions and It is the business of the committee to see to it that the attractions are of fered. Politics are out of the road for awhile, now boom the Fourth. MUST WALK TO NORTH POLE. For years have we struggled to reach the north pole by ship. Through hard ship and danger brave explorera have endeavored to reach the coveted spot. The fact that the pole is still a mys tery points to the conclusion that our method was wrong, and lends credence to the recent utterance of a learned scientist that we must abandon ship, copy the Esqulmo's customs and walk to the pole.

"To the mountains our people In In creasing numbers yearly look for those days of relaxation and recreation nec essary to maintain the humaa ma chine in fair working conlitlon. The languorous sloth of the seashore proves very seductive while it lasts, but many have decided that the an nual outing should provide not only radical change of air and surround ings, but also such stimulation of flagging 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 direction the Shasta Route 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, Colestln, Anderson, Bartlett.

"Before visiting Europe, the people of the Northwest should see the glories of Yosemlte valley, and the wondrous groves of Mariposa and Calaveras; the Parisians are likely to make in quiries concerning these attractive re sorts."
