UeUiMposed Of. It would be a difficult matter to sum marise briefly the auiua of the city hall matter. At the adjourned meeting of the souncll lut night the report of the special committee favoring sale of tht present site and building and pur chase sf a new site was adopted, but whether or not ihis means that the city fathers will actually make the sale Is a question. There teems to be no.reai oppcMlilon to the new hail, out council men are fearful that tht business as pect may not be vp to standsd. . The reoort of the special committee recommended sale of the present site to Mrs. M. 8. Copeland for ltS,128 ami nitrrhaM of the Taylor property at Ex change, Duane and Sixteenth streets for I3M0, or. If the land couia oe i.hi for that figure, purchase of the Adbr property at Fifteenth and Ex change streets for $41100. A motion to adopt the report wougw u, n.irn. to bis feet. He commenced t.V Villi that he did not want anyone to think that he had got "cold feet' 0 the proposition, but ht believed he ought to express himself. He stated that the orhrlnal proposal made to tne .11 v bv B.8. Gordon looked good; $15.- KK hud been tendered for the site, and there was a stipulation that a nne v,iitn biof k would be erected. A new hit Aas to be purcliased for 500 and mere would be an available balance oi nbout $11,000 to build the hall. Mut thing didn't now look so good to tne gentleman from, the First ward. . It would be necessary to have a new en gine bou which would set the city back some $3500, which. In addition to the $4500 essential for the city halt site, would lesve a balance of oni soouv tfOOO for the building.' Mr. Hums re garded the proposllon as a dimcuu one . Ilia rmmell to undertake. He ad ded that It was reasonable to supise tho -uv hall now occupied was worm at least $2000. so that under the offer but $13,123 would be received ror iho land. He said he would like to see his way clar to come out even on h. nrf.nnnlllon. and thought the fatie presented by him were worthy the con- (deration of the council. , v.liram attached less import ance to the terms of the first proposal He pointed out vhat a buyer could not u .miv.iit to build a business block, and he believed tho question for the ..n.mrii to detsrmlne was whether or not there would be any gain from the contemplated sale. He was or me w th cltv hall and engine house should be separated, and created a laugh by remarking that Astoria was perhaps the only city In America in which the public official, actually, lived mm, cattle. If two buildings can not bu provided. It Is out of the ques tion to talk about a new cuy nan, Mr. Nordstrom. m, Mnnoon agreed with Mr. Hume, ti rmihln-'t see how a building could possibly be erected without the city running $10,000 or $15,000 in aem. onnosed to sale at the present time, and thought perhaps that the city might do better by renting the prop Mr. Robinson did not want tne jail iiwutM on the Adler property, which was In the heart of the residence sec tion, although he acknowledged later that It might better be there than at nresent location. ' One would very naturally gather from these Moments that there would be formidable opposition to adoption or the i recommendations of the special committee, but when Mayor Suprenant called for a vote there was not a. dis senting voice. This is the reason for the statement' that the status of the matter can not be definitely , deter mined. ' " - :.-tv'r ' Then the ordinance introduced by Mr. Leinenweber was read. Section 1 movldes that upon payment by M. S Copeland to the cltr treasurer of the sum of $15,125, within 10 days from the approval of the ordinance, or within 10 days of the date the ordinance might become effective because of the, fail ure of the mayor to sign It, the mayor and auditor and police Judge are au thorlsed to execute a deed to the pres- Absolutely Pure THERE IS HQ SUBSTITUTE ent city hall Site (lot I, block , Ol neys Astoria), the right to occupy the property to be reserved to the city un til May 1, st a monthly rental of $76.

TOSSED ABOUT Men Were Without Water lor Days and Were steady to Fall From Loss of .Hleep. After drifting helplessly about 00 the open sea for days with Its deck washed by monstrous seas; engine inactive, sails torn and crew worn out with ex ertion and famished for water, tht lit tle gasoline schooner Delia was towed Into port yesterday morning by the tug Tatoosh and Is now floating at Its ease on the sheltered side of the O. K. A N. decki Thi Delia had been absent from Astoria since last Monday noon, and from the second day out was In constant danger of being lost. The little coaster was bound tor Nestucca with 23 tons of general merchandise, but an entrance to the river was not accomplished ind so, with the excep tion of a small amount of freight wash ed from the deck, the entire caro is still on board. The trouble of the Delia began Tues day Just as she was ready to enter the Nestucca river. Before she could get over the bar the schooner was struck hv a Kile that whirled ber 70 miles out to sea, All tht day and night she was at the mercy of the storm, the. ngln lacking the necessary power to propel her against the fearful east wind that raced. She simply drifted, and to the three men that composed her crew, It seemed that every moment would be their last. Fortunately most of the freight was in the hold, only the JM8t securely lashed boxes on dec were saved.1 Before Tuesday night all the drinking water was lost and the men had to satisfy their thirst as best they could by sucking oranges. Wednesday the .staunch Wttle craft was picked up by a southerly gale that sent her flying toward the mouth of the Columbia. With smaU canvas spread she scudded alon until Thursday morn lng at i o'clock when anchor was cast off the riwr.' It was out of the ques tion to enter. One of the crew express ed the conviction that "God held the anchor, for the rope couldn t have done It ."
