this statement. In only about three
months behind with Its obligations. It
whs hoped by members of the council
that the municipality would soon be
placed on a cash basis, but the build
ing of the new city hall has probably
rendered this Imixjssible for some time
to come. The revenue of the city Is
now greater than ever before, but un
usual expenditures have prevented any
material reduction of the debt during
the past few months. After the city
hall Is paid for the surplus funds can
be applied to the outstanding indent-
Paul L. Strangland, who lives at
Franklin avenue and Thirty-eighth
street. East Astoria, Is up against a
hard proposition. The grade of Frank
lin avenue at that point Is about IS
feet above the grade of Thirty-eighth
street and Strangland finds It Impos
sible to make his property conform to
both grades. Franklin avenue Is be
ing Improved and the dirt graded from
the street Is being dumped onto
Strangland' lot, for the purpose of
creating an embankment. Strangland
Is willing that this should be done, pro
vided he shnll be allowed to remove
the dirt when he finds It expedient to
do so. The council has accepted his
view of the mutter. A bulkhead will
be necessary when Mr. Strangland
makes an excavation.
armed with a pocket knife, with which
he made two murderous lunges at the
victim. The first wound Inflicted was
above the right eye, while the second
lunge resulted In a dangerous wound
under the eye. In the first wound six
stitches were taken by Dr. Estes. 'A
difference of an eighth of an Inch would
have resulted In loss of the eyesight.
The cries of the wounded man brought
Officer Thompson to the scene and the
assailants were arrested and taken to
the county Jail. They were arraigned
during the afternoon and held for ex
amination each In $000 bonds, which
they failed to give. Their hearing has

It Is reported from Seaside that tw
reasons are assigned for the recent
municipal order that gambling should
cease. W hen the Old Grimes hotel was
recently destroyed by fire some of the
timid visitors at the beach became
frightened, and left, declaring that the
town's fire protection was wholly In
adequate. Then when Frank Moody
took a shot or two at Lawrence Bullt-
van other tlrnld ones became fright
ened. The town authorities are said to
have been actuated by a desire to main
tain the reputation of their resort in
their order to close gambling The Moody
came to the city with Siierlft Linvllle
and stood a 150 fine. Sullivan was too
111 to tunc to Astoria, but promise!
to do so as soon as he was able. A few
duys later he telephoned over that he
wanted to gt to Portland and asked
the sheriff If it would be all right. The
sheriff said it would and Sullivan went
to the metropolis. Eventually he will
come to Astoria to make a 'donation
for the infraction of the law. In view
of the fact that gamblers depend on
the summer crowds, the late order of
the town officials has created the Im
pression that the move was merely a
blind, but this Is denied by Seaslders,
who Insist that the town really means
to enforce the order, not only during
the winter months, but as well during
the seaside season next year and
thereafter.

When an ordinance to accept , the
Improvement of Ninth street was pre
sented at Tuesday night's meeting of
the council Mr. Hansen objected, say
ing the Improvement had not been mode
according to contract. He called at
tention to the fact that timbers of im
proper sire had been Installed and that
the nails In the sidewalks had not been
properly driven. Mr. Belland, one of
the members of the street committee,
had declined to sign the acceptance for
the reasons enumerated by Mr. Hansen.
Contractor Dill had given assurance
that the defects would be remedied, so
the ordinance- was passed, with the
understanding that the work would
not be paid for until the repairs had
been made. The discussion brought
out the fact that the rock work on
Ninth street Is the best thus far done
In Astoria.
Mayor Surprenant yesterday attach
ed his signature to the new ordinance
to prevent public criers and the bill
Is now law. Section 1 of the measure
provides as follows: "It shall be un
lawful for any person within the cor
porate limits of the city of Astoria to
advertise goods, wares or merchandise
for. sale by public outcry, or to offer
goods, wares or merchandise for sale
by public outcry; but this ordinance
shall not apply to licensed auctioneers
offering goods for sale nt auction, or
to licensed hucksters offering goods
for sale as such." A fine of $10 to
100, or Imprisonment for five to 20
days. Is provided for Violation of the
terjns of the bill. Councilman Lelnen
weber seemed to think the ordinance
would interfere with teamsters," who
resort to public crying at boat land
ings and depots, but Follce Judge An
derson expresses the opposite view. "
