Officiate of the eounty were not at all pleaaed with the atatemente made at Monday night' meeting of the coun ell regarding the contemplated pur chaae by the city of the countye Flacher typewriter. The Aatorlan cor rectly reported the matter yeaterday, although It neglected to aay that the atatemente of Auditor Anderaon and Councilman Nordatrom created much merriment. The proposal to purchaa the typewriter came from the city offi cial and not from the county, and Clerk Clinton atated yeaterday that the county had no Idea of getting rid of the machine, which ' baa recently been rebuilt and la In good condition. That the Impreaalon ahould have gone abroad that the county waa trying to dlapoee of rublah to the city ia a aource of come dlnatlafactlon to the county official, who feel that they have not been fairly treated, eepeclaly In view of the fact that the overture ware not of their mediation. At the meeting of the oity council Monday night the petition of the Wo man' Club asking that a dumping ground be provided and that the nntl expect oration ordinance be enforced received only partial confederation. The matter of a dumping ground waa dlacuaaed, and , the committee on public property will report upon It at the next meeting. However, the mat ter of the violation of the anti-expectoration ordinance waa passed up without comment. Mayor Suprenant atd yeaterday that the law ought to be enforced, but he expressed the opin ion the club should have communica tion with the police comlssloner."'The mayor ha only advisory control over the police department," laid the chief executive of the city. "The club's work ia commendable, but It ahould place the matter , before the police board."

Deputy Collector Parker said yeaterday that the matter of larger Quarters, especially for the post office. had been considered locally, although no official action had heretofore been taken. The poet office is. badly pressed for room, and larger quarter must be provided, Astoria Is the dlstrlut Ing point for al' the C6untry of aouth western Washington and northwestern Oregon and the business haa largely In creased. The cuatoms officials also require more room. . The cellar of the public building Is filled with new and condemned supplies and is so crowd ed that there Is no room to store more material. There ought to be some place for the storage of revenue cut ter supplies and equipment, which must now be atored away in the cellar. The offlcea on the i aecond Boor are ajso Inadequate to the needa of the aer- vlce, and the office that should be at the disposal of the special deputy col lector Is used for a storeroom fof eld records. The department of commerce and labor expecta to have a man sta tioned here and he will need offlcea. which are not now available. The present building can be enlarged suffi ciently, and It is probable that the Im provement will be made In thle man ner. 1 The atructura waa erected In 18TS and cost 180,000. It is well built. but altogether too smal for the busi ness transacted here. The Astoria Progressive Commercial Association met last evening In the council chambers of the city hall and elecHed offlccra to aerve through the present year. The result of the elec tion follows: President, C. W. Carna han; vice-president. John Frye; sec retary, J. A. Eoklni treasurer, J. ,N. Qrlffln; board of directors, Richard C. Lee, Harrison Allen, C R. Morse, John Frye and A. a Skyles. President Car nahan announced that he will draw up the committees during the next few day's and that he will report the same at the next meeting of the association, which will be on the evening of Janu ary 17. Besldea the election of officers last evening, the members talked In a general way about the ne'eda of the county and city. It waa practically decided that the new road committee will wait upon Rood Master Frye at an early date and learn from him the exact condition and needs of tha Nehalem road to Olney and an avail able distance beyond, basing recom mendatlons to the county court upon Information thus acquired. The trend of the discussion was to the effect that the road should be as narrow as prac ticable and as substantial a possible. one of the members pointing out that the latter course will pay In the long run. The subject of a new hotel for the city also engaged the attention of the club for a time, but no definite course was shaped. It was apparent from what was ' ald, however, that the need of an up-to-date hotel la ap preciated by the club, and that some thing effective will be done along this line in the near future is certain.
