AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
A meeting of the Chamber of Com
mererce will be held . next Monday
night and matters of moment will come
up. Particular reference is bad to the
government harbor line as they, effect
the growing business Interests of this
city. Since the establishment of the
present harbor lines more than ten
years ago manufacturing mills have
been built and oneof the largest of
thera is now shut off from the foreign
markets by reason of an Imaginary
government line across the water In
1 front of the mill. Foreign commerce
must be encouraged, not restrained.
The Interests of every business man,
every property owner and the best in
terests of the town generally, are in
volved. There should be a large at
tendance and free expression beard on
the matter at the meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce Monday evening.

difference In the cost of wooden and
stone or brick buildings Is not great
enough to stand in the way of a city
hall that will be a credit to the city, and
the council should see to it that the
new hall Is built of stone or brick.
Frame structures require endless re
pair and In time are more expensive
than stone or brick buildings. The city
is a permanent Institution and It is only
right that permanent Improvements
should be made with the funds of the
taxpayers.
NORTH SHORE ROAD.
A dispatch sent out from Vancouver,
Wash., yesterday would indicate the
Northern Pacific Is actually figuring on
building a road on the north side of the
Columbia. The dispatch follows:
"That the Washington Railway and
Navigation Company, said to be the
real property of the Northern Pacific,
Intends to build its lines along the
north shore of the Columbia river at
least to the Cascades, Is proven by
maps that have been placed on file In
the United States land office here.
These maps, six In number, show the
definite location of the company's
.uno. from the mouth of the Columbia
river to Kelso, and from Vancouver to
the Cascades.
"The length of. the road as indicated
by the maps, Is 66.6 miles from the sea
coast to Kelso and 26.17 from Vancou
. vcr to the Cascades, or a total of 92.77
m!l?s. As indicated on the maps filed,
the course of the line through the mil
itary reservation at Vancouver Bar
racks would be over the Fifth street
roadway, passing thence through the
city over Fifth street to about F street,
where it makes a curve to the north to
a Junction with the present W. & O.
tracks."
The completion of a survey and filing
of maps are evidence that the building
' of a road down the Columbia is at least
receiving serious consideration at the
hands of Mr. Hill. The report that
Harriman is dickering for the Astoria
& Columbia River road also bears the
earmarks of truth and the ownership of
a railroad on either side of the Colum
bia by the two magnates Is a very rea
sonable probability.
Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of
labor In the United States, recently
sued a special report in which the earn
ings of the laboring men In the country
are contracted with the cost of living.
The Washington correspondent for the
St .Louis Republic says 1 that Mr.
Wright will issue the report on October
25 and that "in preparing the report
averages were taken from 25,000 fami
lies, so that it is believed that the fig
ures will represent nearly the per capita
cost for the entire country. Retail
prices for all staple articles of food and
clothing will be given from 1890 until
the present year, covering the cost In
the east and west, north and south."
New Tork, Oct. SS-.V decision Just
rendered by Judge Woodward In the j
appellate division of th supreme court 1
has caused considerable agitation am- i
ong stock exchange brokers.
The complainant Ivt the case nought
to recover a balance due on an account j
and claimed that after having notified j
the broker not to invest this balance. j
he bought stocks and used the money
as margin. The plaintiff was a woman !
and acted as her sister's nsvnt. J
In ruling for the plaintiff. Judge!
Woodward declared that brokers must '
obey Instructions from 'their clients or:
stand responsible for money lost on
niarglcs. 1
It Is also held that "discrrtH'miry or- J
tiers," are legal despite the rules of the
exchange, which forbid such transac
tions; the rules of the exchange are
not binding on Innocent third parties
and that brokers are responsible for the
actions of their clerks when instruct
ions are misunderstood and that the
plea of a misunderstanding is not a
good defense..
TEAR COST A FORTUNE.
Chicago, Oct. 23 A dispatch to the
Kecord-Herald from Fort Wayne, Ind
stivs: The will of Edward Seldel.
whose estate invoices at $225,000, has
been filed for probate. It puts all the
property In the hands of the youngest
son, Otto, his father's favorite, an
trustee. The father gave Otto a deed
to properly worth $3,000 which was, In
an envelope with the will. In the pre
sence of all the heirs Otto for the flint
time read the deed, . but fearing It
would be a basis of family trouble tore
it up, say Ins he would share equally
with the rest. The act cost him Just
$20,000.

, A new city hall will be a very valu
able addition to Astoria's public build
ings, and the determination of the coun
cil to provide one is commendable. It
Is to be hoped, however, that the im
provement will be substantial. The
erection of a frame structure would be
practical waste of public funds. The
It was announced from the island of
Trinidad on October E that emissaries
of President Castro of Venezuela have
arrived in portions of Venezuela with
orders to collect forcibly not only the
taxes but the custom house duties al
ready paid by Importers from May, 1902,
tA August, 190S. The amount demand
ed by Castro is about $1,000,000, and
merchants who refuse to pay are being
imprisoned.
As a result of Premier Balfour's
speech at Sheffield and his pamphlet
on insular free trade, the duke of
Devonshire, who was leader of the con
servative party In the house of lords,
has resigned the office of lord president
of the council, and King Edward has
accepted his resignation.
TWICE ENSLAVED, TWICE FREED.

result of an accident, was raised as a

California in 1S49 by his master. In
time he bought his freedom., He went
back to Georgia to free his wife but
was soil into slavery again through the
treachery of his old master. Again he
saved money enough to purchase the
liberty of himself and wife.

yellow Jaundice. I consulted a number
of physicians and tried all sorts of med
tcines, but got no relief. Then I began
the use of Electric Bitters and feel that
I am now cured of a disease that had
