In an editorial discussion of the sal mou situi.tlon the Han Frnncliwo Tiade Journal s.iys: "On Monday, the I'Jth lust., the Alaska Packers' uxsoclatlou publicly announced its selling pi ice at SO cents per Uoxen for pinks anil 37 1 cents per doitn for chums, This was the first open announcement of n radlc al cut, and II seems to have Is-en met by most of Hie other packers, accord Ing lo the eastern advices. On Wed netday the association emphasised Its position by oienlng the prices for Its 1103 pack at exactly th e;i:ne figures and this has been followed by several other packers. When the larg surplus of pink and chum salmon Is consider ed in connection with the coining sea son (which is the pioverbl.il big hums- back year on Pu(,-t sound), and the enormous rn pi. city of the Puget sound canneries of the association, and those of the Pacific I'acknlg & Navigation comiwiny, and others, It Is not hard to understand that pink and chum salmon may not have yd touched bottom." Representative Galloway has Intro aueea a mil in tne nouse to create a licensing board, to define the duties of said board to fix :icensei fees, to re- (lulre bond for license, to provl'c for the revocation of license; to con I'tutc the keeping of sailors' boarding house without license a mlsdemenaor; to fur ninh budges to owners nnd agents of licensed sailor boarding houses; to com pel the weai'ln of said badges under certain conditions, ,tnd to prohibit Ihe wearing of snme by iiersons not author Ised; to make It tha duty of certain officer lo prosecute; to provide for in vestigations nnd to fix penalties for violation of the terms of this act." The bill require keepers of sailor boarding houses to procure licenses from a statu board of commissioners, which Is to consist of the governor, sexrelury of .state and state treasurer. This board is to Issue a license to a keeper of a boarding house only on be ing satisfied as to tho respectability nnd competency of the applicant. The license Is to last for one year and Is to cost tTifrt. Every applicant Is to give $3000 bond, to be forfeited In case he violates the law. The board I em powered to revoke any license when sat lsfaclory evidence ha been presented that a boarding house Is dlsordely or thnt ttw keeper thereof has resorted to fraud, force, deceit or misrepresen tation, or attempt to persuade sailor to desert their ships. Failure to take out a license make the offender lnble to a fine of not loss than $100 nor more than $4000, or to Imprisonment for not less than three months nor more than two year,, or to both fine and Impris onment. Failure to exhibit badge re quired also makes Ihe offender liable to penalty. A meeting of the board of school di rectors will be held this morning for the purpose of considering the health situation of the city. For some day past there have been new casss of scar let fever, end parent are not satisfied that danger of contagion Is past. It la understood .that considerable pres sure ha been brought to bear on the board to clog the school for an In definite period, and at today' meeting action will be taken. Parent urge that the monetary loea of the district Is as nothing compared with the danger to the Utile one who attend the pub lic schools, and that, rather than sec single death, they would forfeit the amount that I required to conduct the school fur the remainder of Hi" term. Many poor families In whose home scarl-it fever has broken out are unable to provide their children with new clothing ifter (lines from scarlet fever, and when the little one return to school Ihey wear the rame clothes thut they wore prior to their sickness. This liable ottv.-r children to disease, nnd all efforts on the part of teachc to prevent contagion must ii'icessarily prove Ineffectual. Yesterday a child who had called on another child that was III attended school a uhijU. it develnpe-l that the sick child wus suf ferlng fram scarlet fever. The prln clptl of the sihool at once sent the pnpll borne, but the other children had b'.oi subjected to the disease by hi presence In the school room. The gen eral opinion I that danger from sear' let fever still exists, ond careful par enl decline to allow their children to Attend school, in view of the condition of art ills, It I quite probable and ub solutely Imperative that the school l.otrd will again order the school closed .

A greater num ber aunot be spard. The report of the special committee appointed to Investigate the statu of the city park fund wat an Interesting one, In which, the association was urg ed to guard against "official negli gence" in matters of the kind. The report Is as follows: "To the Astoria Progressive Com mercial Association Gentlemen: Tour special committee appointed to Investi gate the present condition of the city park fund would beg leave to report as follows; "At a general city election held on December 10, 1901, It was decided that a levy of 1-2 mill for park purposes should be made. Subsequently the board of park commissioners ordered that uch !5t y be made. Thls-act was formally presented to the county clerk In writing by the clerk of the board on Jaruary 8, 1902. The county clerk extended this 1-2 mill levy on the tax roll, together with the 10 mill levy for the city, and here the park tax levy lost its Identity and became a part of the 10 1-2 mll' collected for the city. The amount shown on the tax roll nt this time that wn to be collected for the city on this 10 1-2 mills was $ie,S72.48. Of this amount the park fund levy of 1-2 mill would have amounted to JS03.45 If paid in full. Through discounts and uncollected taxes, however. It Is estimated that about $730 was collected on this account. "As the money was collected it was turned over to the ounty treasurer and by him to the city treasurer in the reg ular course of business, and was cred ited to the general fund of the -Ity. In this way the money that wa levied for park purposes never reached the fund which it was intended to estab lish, and which could be used for no other purpose. The emr started by a separate account not being o;ned for the park levy on the tax rolls, and there was no legal right to Include It with the regular levy made by the city council, a it was y law ordered by a distinct body organized for that pur pose. The money, or the greater tart of it, ha been received by the city and applied to the general fund. "As this i not a matter for this ns soclatlon to rarrange, but for the board of park commissioners, your oinmit- tee, would recommend thnt the sec re ary be Instructed to draw the attention of that body to the condition of Its af fairs, In the hope that the woi k ut this asoclatlon to secure the benefits of parks for Astoria may not be wholly lost through the negligence or careless noss of public officials." The report of the committee vas adopted, and the ,mrk commission will be urged to attend to th? Important matters which have been left, to Its care. John D.
