W. J. lit' ic.ills. who was in town yesterday, said h thought it would be possible to se cure this much desired service, and I hut he would petition the department tiimn completion of the road. Th people of the lower Lewis and ' 'lurk at present have no mull service. Th'.-lr n ull Is l-ft at Astoria and Is sent out by persons who happen to be going In that direction. Fifteen years ago a postolttre was established at Chadwell, and one mall a week was handled there. Several years later an offic e was estab lished at Melville, In the upper valley. The salary of the Chadwell postmaster was only $15 or 820 a year, and the de partment began to experience difficulty In s-'curlng a postmaster when two maila a week came In. Later three mallr arrived, and - then Postmaster Ebaon went on a strike. Efforts were made to secure another official, but the resldenta did not care to take the place, and the office was finally discon tinued, The rural delivery regulations require that 80 or 100 families be on the route of the proposed service, and Mr. Ingalls snys th law can be fully compiled with. When the road Is completed the route would be a circuitous one from Astoria. Hunting here, the carrier would go to the Lewis ,and Clark brtdg. and then turn and go down the Warrenion road, cross the plains to Clatsop City and then cut across to Chadwell, returning through the valley to Astoria. A route of this kind would reach several hun dred people. It would be 25 or 2 miles In length. WILL BUILD UP THE FUNDS Council Makes Several Appropria tions to Meet Deficit At the adjourned meeting of the city council Thursday night an ordinance was Introduced to Increase several fun.ls. The additional appropriations made undr the terms of the ordinance for the several funds are as follows: Health and police department. 11.137. "6; auditor and police Judge, 1U9.50: public property, 12.217.06; litigation, HM.10. The original health appropriation wis 1400, but the scarlet fever epidemic en tailed much expense that was not cal culated upon. The appropriation for the auditor's office was $1,800, but the work of expertlng the books cost 61, 3S0, brining the total expense of the year to 11,000. Unexpected expendi tures on publlo buildings necessitate the Increajie In the public proberty fund, and amage suits against thO city are responsible for the shortage In the litigation fund. The total of the additional appropria tions to be made Is 15.S30.41. Thla amount can be conveniently taken out of the general fund, for the reason that appropriations made for other depart ments have not been Tully used. Ap propriations totaling $22,770 ware made for the following departments: Police, Ore, pound, printing. Janitor, etc, eur veyor, street lighting, and salaries. The amount required will be $16,651.57. An ordinance appropriating $300 for 13. W. Lues was also Introduced. The money goes to compensate the claim ant for the assistance rendered by him in gathering evidence in the fake dam age ault Instituted by John L. Bock. TEACHERS ASSIGNED.

Smith Takes Exceptions to Provisions of Proposed Fowler Measure. Wade Hampton Smith, the well known conomlst. la not at alt pleased with the Fowler currency bill that is being drafted at Chicago by the chair man of the house financial committee. He brands Its provisions as Iniquitous, and says there will be much dissatis faction If the proposed measure Is en acted into law. The principal features of the proposed new bill were set forth In a Chicago dispatch In yesterday's Astorlan. Mr. Smith Is a warm advo cate of the postal savings bank idea, and hla views are Interesting. One of the new finance schemes Is that for an asset or credit currency, t.'ndcr the present law national banks are required to deposit at Washington national bonds to the amount of the national bank notes which they desire to Issue, but under the pew propoeed order of things.the asset currency.bank era would be permitted to secure na tional bank notes to ' the amount of state and municipal and railroad bonds that thy deposited with the govern ment. "Goodness knows the present scheme Is bad enough," said Mr. Smith yester day, In discussing the matter with a re porter, "but the new plan Is far more Iniquitous, Now bankers buy govern ment bonds to seoure their circulation. A banker takes $100,000 In gold to the treasury, buys his bonds, which draw Interest, and brings away $100,000 In hank notes. The charge made by the government for thla guarantee la one half of one per cent per annum. The purchase of bonds la in Itself an Invest ment. so In reality , the banker gets $200,000 for his original $100,000. , "If the asset currency la provided for, nationul bank notes may be secured by the deposit of state, municipal and rail? I road bonds, thereby vastly Increasing the volume of bankers' money, and ad ding untold millions to the profit al ready unjustly exacted. With the end In view of creating a clear field for the proosed Increased volume of national bank currency, the financiers purpose to retire the greenbacks, or government nous, ; which have legitimate value. Why should a banker enjoy this great privilege over men engaged In bther lines of business, and why should a sys tem be tolerated that compels the peo pie to pay the vast annual tribute that Is exacted through the medium of our present currency system? : .It la the greatest system of robbery that the world has ever seen. ; r "The government should operate aU banking Institutions, exacting a low rate of Interest for use of money. This would afford the people an opportunity of engaging more extensively In bust nous enterprise, and would place them Independent of the Interests now con tinuing our money affaire, r Historian Himes Visits .Astoria Thinks State Should Reproduce Fort Clatsop at the SL Louis Fair." . LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY. The unsuccessful effort of the city council to pass a plumbing ordinance was due largely to the belief that the last legislature overstepped Its consti tutional authority: The legislature passed a bill regulating plumbing and requiring all cities to enact laws govern Ing plumbing. City Attorney Smith says he Is satisfied that It Is not within the powers of one legislative body to enact a measure requiring other legis lative iHsdles, such as a city councU, to pass law. ."Suppose the Astoria coun cil were to draft a plumblng ordlnaoce tha was killed when it came up for Una passage by a vote of five to four," Says Mr. Smith; , "whom could the state punish for malfeasance in office the erring four or the entire nlnev It is clear to me that the legislature over stepped Itself. This Is not to say that Astoria does not require a plumbing ordinance. The ordinance is needed, and I believe one will be framed.- But I urn satisfied the council Is not com pelled to pass any measure that It does not Bee fit to enact." SENTENCES FOR SOLDIERS. Brigadlir-General Funston, as depart ment commander, has reviewed the fol lowing court-martial sentences: Pri vate H. W. Drake, Thirty-third com paany, coast artillery, found guilty of drunkenness In post and absence with out leave by Fort Stevens court and sentenced to dishonorable discharge and hard labor for three months. Re- lowing authority commutes labor term on month. Private J. F. King, Thirty third company. . coast artillery, found guilty of drunkenness In post and ab sence without leave by Fort Stevens court, sentenced to dishonorable dis charge and three months' Imprison ment. Sentence reduced to two months confinement. George H. Himes, secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, Is In the city collecting data for Oregon history, Clatsop county Is a rich field for those m history bent and when the history of Oregon is written Its pages will be illuminated by event that have trans plred In Clatsop county and no county of the state will contribute more liber ally to Its early history. Clatsop was the western destination of the Lewis and Clark expedition and It was here they passed the winter and made the first salt manufactured In the Northwest.. This city la the site of old Fort Astoria and It Is here the endary romance and Historian Himes fame, He burled. It was also here that Captain Gray first entered the Colum bia river and gave to the world first positive knowledge of the location and size of the mouth of the great North west river. This county Is rich in leg endary romance and Historian Hines can find ample material to write an in teresting book on Clatsop county. It Is his Intention to go to Seaside today to gather data concerning the spot where the Lewis and Clark party made salt from the sea. He will take meas urements of the site and report to the historical society with a view to the erection of a monument. It was Mr. Himes suggestion that old Fort Clatsop be reproduced at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. This matter will receive the at tention of the state fair commission In Portland today. . : Mr. Himes has, through his research, arrived at the conclusion that inside the Fort Clatsop stockade, some 80X100 feet, were seven yeablns. The material for reproducing the stockade and cab ins Mr.Hlmes estimates can be deliver ed f. o. b. cars In Portland for $6,000. Reasonable concessions It Is believed can be obtained from the transportation companies so that the reproduction of old Fort Clatsop may satisfactorily solve the problem of a state building at St. Louis. , The building erocted, the furnishing could be made as elaborate as historic interest and means might permit. For rugs, skins of wild ani mals might be used. Rustic chains and benches would serve for Its seats and Kentucky rifles. In wooden racks could m uwA to adorn the walls and suggest to visitors something of the real con-1 dIUons as they existed here lees than 100 years ago. What action the state comrrlsslon may take In the matter to day will be awaited with interest. ENCAMPMENT OVER. The nine days encampment of the O. N. G. endedyesterday and the troops passed through Astoria yesterday af ternoon n route honw." The men had received their pay and struck tent by 1 o'clock and promptly at 1 Superintend nit McOuire, of the A. 4. C. R. R.. filid a special train of 14 cars in waiting at the Gearhart station to carry the regiment to' Portland. The officer mounts, consisting of 17 head of horses, were brought to Astoria by Lieutenant CurtU and a detail of soldiers. They will be shipped to Portland th's morn ing by the steamer Hassalo. It Is un fortunate that rain fell during the en campment, but notwithstanding the at tendant Inconvenience, the men were well pleased. "It was pretty wet," re marked a soldier at the station yester day, "but in the Philippines we were in water up to our necks days at a time." Camp Summers was the cleanest and most healthful campsite the guard have ever experienced and. left to them, they no doubt will choose the coast for their next annual encampment. LABOR COUNCIL MEETS.
