That Pass at All Hours Vessels In
ward and Outward Bound, Yesterday.
The five ton life-saving boat "Michi
gan City" belonging to Uncle Sam' big
and important service, was slipped into
th bay yesterday morning from the
A. i C, railroad at a point between the
coal dock and the Flavel pier, where she
was received by Captain Oscar Wicklund
of the Fort Canby life-saving station,
who with, his crew of eight, had came
up for the purpose. She is 36 feet long
and Tery heavy looking. She has
thwarts for ten men and uses 14 foot
ash oars, and is generally well equip
ped. Captain Wicklund could not say
just what he expected of her until he
has drilled his crew with her. She was
Bent out here from the Lake Michigan
service, and will go into immediate use.
The customs steamer patrol towed her
and the crew to the station at 1 o'clock.
He Wasn't Seasick.
They say that G. W. Roberts, the gen
ial agent for the O. R. 4 X. at this
point had occasion to visit the lumber
laden schooner Vriginia. lying at anchor
about 300 fathoms off the company's
pier, yesterday morning, on business,
and went out to her in a small boat
There was a bit of a chop sea playing
up the bay and the frail digny bobbed
around some to the discomfiture of cer
tain of her passengers. It id not known
that Mr. Robert was in any way ef
fected by the motion of the boat or that
he was made dizzy by the glare of day
before yesterday's sun on the water, or
that he is subject to fainting spells on

MISCUE SUGGESTED
Report that T. F. laurin Has Failed to
File Acceptance.
At a late hour yesterday it was cur
rently reported about town that T. F.
Laurin, the Democratic candidate for
Police Commissioner had failed pre
mediately, to ftle his acceptance of tlie
nomination for that office, in other
words, that he declined to run, for rea
sons of hi own. There seemed to I
no doubt about the matter, and it was
of enough moment to put a seriew of in
quiries afoot in relation to it.
City Auditor Anderson, upon being
npealed to made the definite and ex
plicit statement that "all acceptance
hud Wn tiled at his office," and this
certainly must include Mr. Laurin's.
Asked again, in explicit terms a to this
particular afcptance the same answer
was given by the judge, towit, that "all
acceptances had been tiled," and so ru
mor is knocked out.

COURT HOUSE IDEAS
Suggestions of a Modified Form
of County Building
CUT COST FIFTY THOUSAND
Ideas that May Meet With Approval of
Taxpayers and Result in Completion
of New Structure Anything to Awak
en Interest in Big Utility.
A uumher of citizens have lcn talk
ing over the matter of the completion
of the Court House, and after seeing
mimic architects, think that changes
could be made in the materials and the
manner of finishing, so as U reduce the
cost of completion at )cat forty thou
sand dollars; and that the UHslilication
would not change the general plan of
the building.
Tlie plan as contracted on, call for
brick walls above the present structure,
faced with pressed brick from New
berg. Trimmed outside with ornament
al terra eotta from the F.at. Inside
floors to bo tiled, stair scp to be of
tumble, and wainscoting of marble and
hard woods, all teed with a copper
dome. The contract price exclusive of
heating and wiring, to I $ 1 04 .000. Heat
ing to cost $3000.
The ornamental terra eotta will cost
WtJ.uOO; the dome (6300; the marble
and tiling, 12, 000, (figures are given in
round numbers) and all of these last
iU nw could be dispensed with, bringing
the cost to complete the structure to
alsMit sixty thousand dollars. Tlie
building ha already coat (43,000, so
the total outlay would be about (100,000
without lighting or furniture.
Perhaps the architects could loii)t out
further changes that would still further
lessen the cost. For instance Salem has
just let a contract for a high m-ImsiI
building, HOxlltO feet, two stories above
the basement, to be built of New berg
brick, and to conUiin sixteen rooms und

Is a larger building tlti lw cotirt
house, projected for Clatsop County,
The dom would need to lie construct
ed, ultimately, to set olT the building,
hut that item can 1 deferred till the
county shall be in funds. The dome of
the state capital was not completed un
til 13 years after the building had lccii
completed.
To the Astorian, and to many cltiwn
it seems that economy should be ob
served in the building of the court!
house. Not to be stingy or close, but
after security for the records ami the
convenience of doing tlie work of the
county are provided for, that then noth
ing Iteyoud neatness and ordinary dura
bility should be sought. Adding ex
pense to the buihlnlg for look will not
bring dividend nor profit to the public
or the taxpayer. There, is not a court
house in the state that iimres in
elegance and cost with the t'laUop Coun
ty court house as planned, and yet
Clatsop County is one of the poore-st :
The state house at Salem is con
structwl of common brick cemented on
the) outiide, as is the Odd Fiflows
building in Astoria. It has brick col
umn at the entrain, cemented. Ce
ment step, and galvanised comii-e. The
court house in Multnomah County, tiie
richest county in the state, has brick
wall, cemented.
The plans for the Clatsop building
llrst called for oak stairstep and for
wainscoting, and llrs of Oregon lutti-ls-r,
mid the dome was ommitted, and
the contract wa o let, then the
change wa made to marble, tiling ami
the erection of the dome.
Itoads in Mi county are very much
needed and cost much to make, and
maintain, but every rod of gissl road
add to the wealth of the county and
the convenience auid business of tho
citizen. The taxable property of tlie
county is t.72I.K":i; of that l,fc!,H0H
is in the city of Astoiiu, or nearly out)
half.
The city is already in debt. tism
and aside from a water debt of 2".",
0000, ulil the city has expenses to keep
up. The school ditrict of the city is
also in debt, and has six schid build
ing and a corps of thirty-five teacher
to maintain; street in addition are to
be kept up at sH-einl assessment; so it
seems Unit it stand) Isitli the city and
county in hand to be economciul in pub
lic matter.
The special court house levy amount
to $20,000 per year; and In build oil the
present plans, covering interest at 0
(s-r cent will reiiiire a levy for six
year. Reduce the cost to fifty thou
sand dollar nd the money can be
reaWicd in time years and with one
half of the intercut charge.
These- are merely suggestions along
the line of popular conjecture on a
popular subject, and t inspire new
thought and public expression on an
important public measure, that must
be treated with more or lcs dispatch
in justice to the taxpayer who has paid
for what hits been done and who must
pay for the doing of the rest of the
work.
In Time of Peace.
In the first months of the Russian
Japanese war we had a striking ex
ample of the necessity for preparation
and the early advantage of those who, so
to speak, "have shingled their roofs in
dry weather." The virtue of prepara
tion has made history and given to us
our greatest men. The individual as
well as the nation should be prepared
to successfully combat the first cold
you take? A cold ran be cured much
more quickly when treated as soon as
it has been contracted and before it
has become settled in the system.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous
for its cures of colds and it should be
kept at hand ready for instant use. For
sale by Frank Hart and loading drug-gtats.
