The pole and wires have arrived, the pole being ut Tongue Point and the wire on the O, R. & X. Company dock.

IL Stowe, his successors or assign, franchise for, building. ''maintaining .and operating a telephone system In the city of Astoria, work miint li commenced by the lt day of -November, UM, or within tix month from t he granting of the franchise. The ordinance provided that the .tele phone company must pay the turn of fSOO a year, annual llcenae," which the company did.' A short timo ago they asked for sn extension of time, which the council granted on condition that the company 'deposit $1,000, but the company declined to do this and imme diately ordered their" pole and wire to I delivrcd at Astoria. . The ordinance prwide that the sys tem must le completed within one year and now that the company ha all of It pole and wires on the ground, and expect to commence Immediate on. t ruction of the line, there seems to be no doubt but they mean business and will commence immediate construc tion, and the foreman of the company states that it wilt be completed' with in ninety day. Under the provision of the franchise, all the wire on Ator, Bond and Com mercial street must' be laid under the roadway and on all other street the wire are to be itrung on-pole.

It is expected that a fore of workmen will arrive in the city today and commence Immediate construction of the y teui. ' The new system I an automatic one. There are no party lines, all being on the tnme line, and each patron has a separate and distinct telephone. There I no central office to call up, but each tclepltriw Installed is assigned a num. her and that number is called by those using the system. The same system lis been Installed in Seattle andTa- coma and it is mid gives general tut 1 faction. There seems to 1 no doubt but the company means business, and the success of the enterprise depends upon the accuracy of the system. We Want to Lease a Modern Store' building.

HERMAN' WISE BEHINDEACH ARTICLE SOLD IN HIS STORE Only One Cha. H.. Abercrombie is the only announced candidate who has filed his petition for a city office. He will be a candidate for city attorney, subject to the decision of the Republi can primaries to be held November 12. Hon. John H.

Mr. McCue intend leaving th custom house on the. first of January to hkr in the practice of law. No candidate ha yet been mentioned by the Republicans for the office of mayor or councilmen, although petitions . for these office must be filed by the first of Xovember. Very little Interest i being taken in city politics, but the campaign will probably warm tip in the near future. Extensions .Required The common council ha awarded a number of con- tmets for the improvement of streets, but owing to tha inclement weather, work is progressing very1 slowly. This is noticeable on Bond street from Ninth street east, which ho been undergo ing improvement the past three months, with no immediate prospect of its com pletion. The common council will be compelled to grant extensions of time on several streets, as it is impossible for the contractors to complete their contracts within the time limit pre, seriltfd by the ordinances. .
