Charles Hell born A Son, Complete House-furnish ers, SS0-C9S Commercial Street Not less than 100 prominent people called at the Artorlan office yesterday to examine the Tuttle charter. There was not a single objection registered iigiilnst It when Its provisions wer known. Nlne-tnths of those who read It, proclaimed It to be In the Interests of economy and good government. Many of them admitted that they had been inisk-d by report publUhed ana circulated on the streets. PERSONAL MENTION. tl has cost the tax payers of Asto ria over 13000 for doing the city ad vertising during the past two years, whereas If bid had been asked for a year ago this expense could have been saved. The Astorian will shortly pub llflh a history of the whole political scheme. The facts and figures sup ported by the records are on file in this office. The stench that will arise from the exposure will be sufficient to drive a polecat Into convulsions. m lays e, 1 Q II tee Trial ON KtaMsfch langesS Then if you are satisfied make us a payment.

HEILBORN $ SON Complete House Furnishers. 4 eee44 The county court met yesterday morning but took no action relative to making the annual tax levy. Din trlct Attorney Allen requested the court to defer action until he could examine more thoroughly Into the mat ter. The county court has practically decided to make a levy of S mills foi the first year and 5 mills for each subsequent year until the total amount Is raised. The S-mlll levy will raise 111,194 and the S-mlll levy will raise $21,158, based upon the present as- eseed valuation. The people of Clatsop county not having given the county court any en couragement for an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark fair, the county court yesterday decided not to make any ex hibit. The order recites the fact that appeals have been made to the people ot Clatsop county, but no. response has been received, and It Is taken as an Indication that Clatsop county does not want to be represented. It will be the only county In the state that will not have an exhibit. It certainly does not spenk well for the enterprise of Asto ria. 1 t)..H.

The democrats are using every sub terfuge possible and are stooping to the lowest depths of political chicanery to prejudice people against the Astoria charter hill. The latest fraud sprung Is that if F. J. Carney and R. G. Prael are appointed police commissioner Fisher Bros, will supply the city with all Rood required in its line, and Prael & Elgner will compel! all freight to be hauled by that company. When W. J. Cook was a member of the firm of Prael ft Cook, no such things were Insisted on. The matter of purchas ing supplies and hauling is all left to the various committees and it is dis tributed among all the merchants and transfer companies. The police com mission has never dictated as to the purchase of supplies and hauling. It simply show what deceptive methods are employed by dishonest politicians to defeat the will of the majority.
