About twenty promiscuous citizens
assembled at the council chamber
last evening, pursuant to a call from
Mayor Wise, at the suggestion of
Judgu Ifcrwlbyl Majtor Wise called
the meeting to order and briefly
stated Its object. Ho read a letter
from Col, Iioesslcr, stating that he
had forwarded his recommendation j
for river and harbor Improvement to
the department at Washington, and
that If the citizens of Astoria desired
to makf liny recommendations, they
must bo In Washington by the 15th
of November, He also read a letter!
from O. W, Talbot of Portland, re- j
gretting his Inability to be present at
the meeting.
Mayor Wise was elected permanent
chuli'inun nnd F. L. Parker permanent
secretary.
Mr. liergman aald that he did not
understand why the question of har
ImH Improvements la not taken up
by the Chamber of Commerce. "If
the general public don't take any more
inter? In this Important question
than Is evidenced by this slim attend
ance, nt this meeting, we need not
expect any assistance from the gen
eral government. This meeting cannot
accomplish anything and this mutter
should be referred to the Chamber of
Commerce."
Mr. Bchernekau stated that the
Chamber of Commerce had done some
thing In the matter and that Judge
rtnwlby Tind sent a communication to
Washington to the rlvera and harbor
committee. This meeting might assist
the Chamber of Commerce. "We enn't
do much here aa there la no one
present familiar with the needed
work."
J. N. lJw anld he had heard what
the Chamber of Commerce had Intend
ed to do, but have they done It? VThe
question Is whether we aa citizens
shall wait for the Chnmber of Com
merce to take aomo action or take
some action aa citizen, by express
ing our opinion aa to the urgent needs
of Improving the river. The people
should get out and not wait for the
Chamber of Commerce. It la an old
fossil organization and I fall to see
what they have accomplished during
the pat twenty years." He moved
that a committee consisting of Mr.
Curtis and Mr. McCue Immediately
draft resolution expressing the sen
timents of the citizen of Astoria to
be sent to the rlvera and harbor com
mittee at Waahlngton. The motion
was lost.
Mr. McCue stated that the Chnmber
of Commerce had done something In
the matter and It was to be regretted
that the citizens of Astoria did not
take more interest In supporting that
organization. This meeting can only
express its opinion on needed harbor
Improvements.
Mr. Iaws stated that he had no in
tention of criticising the Chamber of
Commerce.' This Is a meeting of cit
izens called by the mayor nnd had
nothing to do with the Chamber of
Commerce or with what they have
dono or left undone. It Is for us to
lend them ft helping hand. Resolu
tions should be prepared and sent to
Washington.
Mr. Hergman made a motion that
the meeting adjourn nnd let tha Cham
ber of Commerce attend to the mat
ter. Mr. Schernckau moved that a
committee of three be appointed to act
In conjunction with the local commer
cial organizations, ns It would be Im
possible for a committee to draft
suitable resolutions on so Important
a subject, without having some data
to go by. The motion wa carried
and tho chair appointed F. L. Parker,
Mr. Scherneknu and I. Bergman as
such committee, after which the meet
lug adjourned.
Bond Street Improvement At the
meeting of the common council Mon
day night, a remonstrance was filed
against the acceptance of the im
provement of Bond street from 6th
street to the McClure line, It being
claimed by the objectors that It had
not been Improved nccordlng to the
plans and specifications and had not
been properly rolled. At a meeting
of some of the property owners, the
contractors and tho street committee,
the manner of the improvement was
thoroughly explained, and moat of the
remostratora were satisfied and
withdrew their objections. Several
more were seen yesterday and signed
an acceptance of the street.
Died of Appendicitis David Smith,
Jr., who has been a patient at St.
Mary's hospital for some time, with
an aggravated case of appendicitis,
laid down this and all other burdens,
yesterday afternoon, dying there at S
o'clock. He suffered Intensely. He
was Blxteen years of age and was a
son of Mr. and Mrs. David Smith, Sr.,
of this city. Notice of the funeral
will appear In these columns later.

Sidewalk Sliding The new cement
sidewalk on Jerome avenue la In a
baa conaition, owning io me nravj
rains, causing slides, and It has moved
quit a distance Into the street. It
Is doubtful if It can be repaired and
will probably have to be reconstruct
ed. Slides are reported In various
parts of the city and considerable
damage has been done, especially to
newly Improved streets. Complaint
haa been made by property owners and
contractors over the lateness of the
year In which the council awarded
contracta for street work, making It
almost Impossible to complete the
streets before the rainy season, and
working a hardship on the contractors
who must remove all surplus earth be
fore the street is accepted. They con
tend that the council should make ar
rangements for Improving streets dur
ing the winter and have everything In
readiness for letting the contract ear
ly In the spring. The work can be
done cheaper and will be more sub
stantial. School Reports Superintendent A.
h. Clark of the Astoria public schools
has filed his monthly report of at
tendance at the public schools of the
city. The total enrollment In the sev
en schools Is ns follows: Number of
girls, 6S3; boys, 693; total, 1,376. The
percentage of attendance was 9S.75;
average dally attendance, 1,301.6. The
monthly enrollment was 1,353. The
number of days taught, 20. Room 4,
Adair's school. Is the banner room
for the month, with average attend
ance, 99.9 and 100 per cent punctu
ality. Made Publio Soon Secretary R. S.
Smith, of the Astoria Regatta Com
mittee, 1906, says that a soon as
some minor reports from sub-committee
chairmen are received and merged
in the totals of his own report, the
affairs of the late regatta will be giv
en to the public, probably In the
course of a few days. He says there
will be a cash residue of about the
same dimensions as that which ex
isted when the committee took up the
work.
Total Registrations Auditor An
derson kept his office open until 5:30
Thursday evening for the purpose of
registering voters, at which time the
books were closed for the primaries.
The total registrations were 731. dl
vldlded among the various precincts
ns follows: No. 1, 71: No. 2, 119; No.
3. 156; No. 4, 187; No. 5, 62; No. 6,
136. This is about one-half the vote
of the city. Very little Interest is
being taken In the election and It is
doubtful If a full vote will be polled
on that day.
Administrator Named. In the usual
formal manner prescribed by law, W.
C. A. Pohl was, yesterday, appointed
administrator of the estate of the late
Anton Anderson, with bonds fixed at
$500. The appraisers named were:
