HOW WILL MONEY BE RAISED?
Mayor Haa Several Plan In
View and Will Announce
Them When Prop- .
cr Time Come.
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

HERMAN WISE
Th Reliable Clothier
Sole Agent for Astoria
s all things do in time, the great
natloitaMiroblem has reached Astoria.
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.
WALTER OWEN IN THE CITY,
Among the passengers on the steam
ship Elder, which departed this morning
for San Francisco, is Walter Owen, now
a resident of Winters, Cal. Mr. Owens's
father. Prank H. Owen, formerly con
ducted the Dally Independent In this
city In the 80s. v He Is now the publish
er of the Winters Express. Walter
Owen Is also a' newspaper man and Is
associated with his father at Winters.
He once lived here. The Independent
waa a bright paper for a short time,
under Mr. Owen's management, but
went under because of differences with
the printers' union, which has never
failed to gain a point In Astoria, - .

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.
