There ia a great deal of talk among
the younger generation aa to whether
they ahall spend the glorious Fourth
In Portland or remain in Astoria and
have a glorious time of their own. The
latter course has many champions and
may prevail.
Among the ordinances signed yester
day was that paased at the lost es
slon of the council granting leave of
absence to members of the fire depart
ment. The bill allows the fire depart
ment employes 10 days' vacation each
year at city expense.
cnaries Higginson, a resident of
Portland, who has 'engaged a 'ottnge
at Seaside for the summer, spent the
greater portion of yesterday in Asto
ria cnatting with friends. "Astoria is
surely growing," said Mr. HJgglnson.
"The commercial spirit is predominat
ing, your citizens have a superabund
ance of push end pluck, and if you are
not a metropolis within a few years It
will be a wonder. Astoria has more
real energy to the square Inch than
half the cities on the Pacific coast."
Auditor Anderson reports that there
has been a very large increase In the
number of police court complaints this
year as compared with last. In 1903
the total number of complaints filed
I it, I . . .
in mo ionics couri, ror instance, wa
53, while thus far during the present
month 65 complaints have been filed.
These figures da not Include those un
fortunates whom the police pick up
nightly and book as lodgers, running
them out of the city the following
day. Many are thus taken care of, in
most cases being arrivals on the night
tram, beneath which they ride 100
miles for naught. Monday afternoon
Is always the busy day in the police
court, and for the past two months
from 10 to 15 persons are brought into
court on Monday to answer to charges
of drunkenness or disorderly conduct
For a long time it seemed that drunk
enness was on the decrease, but the
