w Out- Will Then
. ! 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,

possibly be erected without the city

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

DRIVEN AND. 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 ." The wind and heavy se strained
'tt,. mhl. fearfully but somehow It held
together until yesterday morning when
