CARLSON & COMPANY, Agents IITTItIIIITnTTTTTTTTTTTTrTTnilITttllT7ITIIf7TTTT Commercial street east of Four teenth la In very bad condition and It Is regarded as particularly unfortunate that the thoroughfare could not have been Improved before regatta week. Property owners bickered for weeks over the manner of Improvement, with the result that the necesnary legisla tion was not enacted until too late to complete the street prior to regatta week. The council refuses to allow the Improvement to be mad befOMi car nlvnl week, but Immediately after the" regatta the Improvement will be com menced: th sidewalk on the south side of the (iWoughfare between Four teenth and Flftetflth has collapsed, but can be braced up and Inaile safe. There are several holes farther east, and gen erally the street Is In dilapidated condi tion. Duane street from Eleventh west Is also In bad shape, but this street will not be repaired until next spring. The police yeate'ffot' secured a cori- vlctlon pnder the eur?w ordinance. The minor who violated' tr law gave the name F. SuVttnto. He was arrest ud by Cfficer Stark for frequerVffiig Astuf Street against the Instructions of the polled Suvanto stated to the court that he would be 20 years of uge Au-" gust 27. He t'caded guilty and was1 fined S20. In default of which be was sent to Jail for 10 dnyft William Ahele oft and R. Ramat Wer arrested for fighting. The latter hKd' been pulling boat for the former and friW story to Police Judge Anderson was to1 the ef fect that Ahleoff had neglected' to pay him. He asked several times for his money, and finally, Wednesday aft- ernoon. Ahleoff struck him In the face. Ahleoff was represented by Attorney J. M. Hughes, who secured postponement of his case until this afternoon. How ever, the fighter was In court while Ramat's case was being heard. When Ramat stated that Ahleoff had struck him, Ahleoff rose In his seat and In deep base tones snld; "You are n liar!" It was with some difficulty that he was subdued. Ramnt was fined $10, or Ave days In Jail. Police court receipts yesterday were .about $150. Astoria, Aug. 18. (Editor The Morn Ing Astorlan); I noticed In your paper of the day before yesterday an ex planatlon or excuse made by the city treasurer for his failure to collect In terest on street assessments, and from the language uxed it seems evident that Mr. IX-aley desired to give out the Idea that the committee on ways and means was seeking to persecute him. The committee acted In perfect good faith, with no other object In view than that of protecting the public and the city. The committee had been ad vised by the city attorney that all street assessments drew Interest at the legal rate from the date that the assessments were confirmed, and we acted upon this Information. Our contention that In terest should be charged tlpon all street assessments has never been questioned by any former city treasurer and Is absolutely settled by section. of the 1899 charter, session laws of 1899, page 778, which provides: "All money paid or collected upon assessments for the Improvement of streets shall be kept as a separate fund, and In nowise used for any other purpose whatever; all money so as sessed, Including a deficit, from th? time of being entered In the docket of the city Hens, shall bear Interest of the legal rale tinllt P1J or collected." In (he face of this provision, the treasurer has no right to accept less than the full amoufit of principal and Interest due the city, and he should be held to a strict account for his conduct. So long as I am a member of the coun cil, I shall Insist upon each officer of the city performing his duty, and any loss should be made good. Yourg very respectfully, JOHN NORDSTROM.

A new (.run came Into the river Wednesday night and the glllnetters made excel lent catches, averaging about 500 pounds to the boat. The fish are of un usual quality and are pronounced to be equally as good as the ordinary July fish. The receipts were heavy enough io JieerjfllLihft-c Rrl9-go!rtg during the day. Some of the glllnet ters brought In as much as 1500 pounds of salmon, and 600 pounds was consid ered a reasonable estimate of the av erage. Five cents a pound Is still. the price offered by packers, and the glll netters are reaping a harvest. The price has never fallen below this fig ure during the season, and the glllnet fishermen have fared much better than during any other season for years. They have taken the bulk of the sal mon and all of them have had a suc cessful year. Local packers were op posed to reduction of the price, which has a tendency to let outside packers get some of the supply. The fishermen have benefited and a larger amount haa been placed in circulation this season than for several years past. It Is estimated that fully $2,000,000 will have been paid out for raw material before the season ends. H. T. pindluy Is down from Port land. Frank Johnson (ft Spokane If' a gruesi at the Occident. t.
