The proposed new city halt was the subject discussed yesterday. Generally there is a strong sentiment In favor of the Improvement, but opinions vary to the amount that should be expended and as to the location of the contem plated new building. It was agreed, wevor, that the new hall should be bulir&tw-solld ground, this opinion be ing sharedoyMmbers of the council. Mayor Suprenant Ea--4ieea quietly worklna- on the city ball BcTSeTnafor some time past, and In conversation with a reporter yesterday said he had several Idem In view as to the manner In which the money should be raised. "Bo far as a bond Issue is concerned, It would be impossible to make one, ex cept through special act of the legis lature," said the mayor. "Our charter does not empower the council to make any such Issue. I have talked with many persons about the proposal for a new city hall and find almost unani mous sentiment In favor of it. Per sonally, I am opposed to an expenalve Improvement. As to the manner in which the necessary funds shall be raised, I will submit different plans when the proper time comes." Many taxpayers feel that, It a bond Issue is drcldod upon, the popular loan plan should be employed, for the reason that taxpayers must pay principal and interest and it Is only reasonable that the Interest go to them. There is no question that a popular loan would be successful, as ample evidence has here tofore bwn manifested of the desire of the people of the city to refund the municipal debt-whlch, by the way, can not be refunded. v Since the council has taken the first step towards securing a new city hall, the old notation for a Joint city and county building has been revived. The county court has looked Into this mat ter and learned thnt there could not be joint ownership, although the city might rent part of the building from the county, paying in yearly In stallments until such time as half the cost waa made up. Then the rental could be reduced to II a, year. This Idea Is not without its advocates, who will probably ask the council to con sider the matter. the apparatus thus given them by the city and at least see that it Is properly cared for,. I told Chief Stockton to bring the wagon back to No. 1 engine house, feeling that people who would not take better car of it were not worthy the council's consideration." The public property committee slightly exceeded the ISO limit fixed by the council for the building of the house for the hose wagon, but the claims were paM. , : HOW OLD IS ANN7-WHY, 18 Deputy Collector McCue Solves the Great Problem. EAST ENDERS WERE CARELESS. At Monday night's meeting of the council Mayor Suprenant took occasion to mention the apparent lack of pride of the people living In the East End. It appears that Fire Chief Stockton caused a hose wagon to be sent to East Astoria for the use of the volunteer fire company that may be organised there. The hose wagon remained in the street for a time, but was finally taken down to the old slaughter house and there sheltered beneath a shed. It was re moved from the shed, however, by in terested persons and left out In the rain for two weeks. "It does seem," remark ed the mayor, "that the people of the East End would manifest more pride In To Keep Well every organ must be doing its duty stomach, liver and kid neys must each be in thorough working order.

This statemeflTlHu no particular refer ence to the aiowness of the community, but merely touches Its geographical lo cation. Being fartherest removed from the insane east, it is only natural that the people here should be the last to take up with the question that is now agitating the public mind. If the Ore- gonlan had kept oil the grass, all might have been well, but, with customary carelessness, the Portland paper gave space to It and ruined the happiness of the people. With some misgiving. The Astorlan reproduces the problem that is alleged to have turned men's minds: Mary is U years old. Mary is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann now is: - "How old Is Ann?" Deputy Collector of Customs McCue has figured It out thnt Ann must be 18 years of age and offers the following algebraic solution In support of his as sertion. X equals Ann's age now. I' epuals difference In ages of Mary and Ann. 24 years minus D equals Ann's age now. One-half of 24 years, or 12 years, was Ann's age when Mary was as old as Ann now Is. Then, 12 years plus t equals Mary's age when Mary was as old as Ana now is. 21 years minus D equals Ann's age now. j . 12 years olus D equals 24 years minus D. 2D equals 12 years. D equals ( years. Mary's age Is 24. 24 minus t, or 18. is Ann's age. Mr. McCue thus demonstrates that a solution can be attained with, the use of but one unknown quantity, which Is unique of the solutions thus far sub' milled. MUCH BUILDING IN EAST END Many Homes Goliiff Vp Near the Hume Mill. Evidences of Improvement and In crease in population are now visible in the eastern suburbs of the city, In the Tongue Point mill vicinity. A number of new dwelling houses are going up In that locality, in addition to the lumber company's buildings. The dwellings are welcomed by the mill company, as they will afford homes and boarding places for the hands. It was necessary In the first place for the company to establish "mess-house" for the accomodation of its large number of employes, but this adjunct to the mill was mantaJned as a necessity and not from choice. As houses are being built in the vicin ity of the mill the hands find accomo dations In homes and landladies find boarders for ihelr table.: The number at the "mess-house" Is now something less than a hundred and the manager ment hopes to soon b able to discon tinue It entirely. The office building at the mill Is Rear ing completion. The office building is a good-slsed structure and will be made to serve a variety of purposes. Besides the main office the company store will be in this building. It will also furnish private rooms for Manager W. R. Hume and the mill superintendent and family. . A number of other rooms are being fitted up that may be used by other officials of the company. There Is also provided' an emergency hospital foam to be uaed in case of accident to any of the men.

Disaster to Steamer Waa Long Expected Elder Delayed Day by Unusually Heavy fog. The news of the lose of the it earner Sfouth Portland waa received hert yes- tnrday morning, and those who saw the vessel before her departure from Astoria Sunday were not surprised when the report of the disaster cam In. The Bouth Portland was laden with grain and that her cargo had not been properly placed aboard Is the opinion of persons who saw her pass the water front. She was very deep forward and seemed overladen. The South Portland registered 87J tons and was commanded by Captain J. B. Mclntyre. She was an Iron ves sel and ever since she had been placed in the water had been In trouble. Only a fwMtionths ago, while she waa In charge of Captain Horntsman.she came almost being lost a short-djetance north of San Francisco during a gaJe. Before she got out of th,e predicament she cuT the Farallones cable. Captain Horntsman was offered an Interest in the company, but refused it. Captain Mclntyre la, said to have in vested 112,000 In the concern which owned the South Portland. Shipping men have long expected an accident of tb kind to the South Portland, which w-ts vry difficult to handle. She was an iron vessel and there is little doubt here that she struck a submerged rock near Cape Blanco. J UKAVT FOG OVERHANGS RIVER. An unusually heavy fog has overhung the North Pacific coast district for the past 36 hours and shipping has been ser lously Interfered with. The steamship Elder, which left Portland for Astoria at 8 o'clxk Monday night, was 20 hours making the trip down the river. After reaching the .nonth of the Willamette the Elder ran into a fog bank that made navigation Impossible and she was delayed for 10 hours on the 100- mile trip. Captain Clement Randall says the fog -vas so thick one could cut It with a knife, and he claimed yester day to have big chunks of tt stored away -aboard his ship. When the Elder finally reached Astoria yesterday after noon there was S50 tons of freight piled up on the dock for her. The freight list was the largest that has been made up at Astoria for a long time. It con sisted principally of boxshooks, salmon and oysters. The Elder also has a Urge number of passengers and, if all goes well, she will leave out this morning for San Francisco.
