COMMERCIAL BODY (Continual from Tuesday's Astorian) The Gas and Oil Bearing Proposition. The gas and oil bearing proposition which the committee ha labored with long and patiently, is slowly making headway and it seems likely that it will presently achieve the success of making it possible to do the drilling necessary for a thorough test. A copy of the ordinance which was granted to the Astoria Gas Light Company in 1882, ami under which this company is now operating, was introduced at the last meeting of the city council with the understanding that it would he properly referred for the purpose of Mich amendment as might be deemed proper,- with the purpose in view of securing privilege of laying pipe lines through the city and sup plying gas for manufacturing and lighting purposes in case either gas or oil were discovered. The ordinance read as follows, the "Clatsop I-uel Company" appearing where the As toria Gas Light Company appeared in the old ordinance: "That the 'Clatsop Fuel Company' is hereby authorized and empowered to erect and construct within the cor porate liinju of said city, gasworks, to manufacture and distribute gas throughout said city, and to use the streets of said city for the purpose of laying pipes therein, Provided, that after laying pipes in any street or portion thereof, said company shall cause the same to be put in as good repair and condition as it was before having been disturbed for said pur pose, and in laying said pipes in any street of said city, said company shall do so under the supervision of the superintendent of streets and the committee on streets and public ways of the common council of said city." In case either gas or fuel oil should be discovered by this experiment the benefits to the city of Astoria would be great beyond comparison. They would be the same benefits that Ta coma or Spokane or Fall River enjoy from the cheapest possible water power for motor purposes. The com mittee which has been handling this matter is Dr. J A. Fulton, chairman; George W Sanborn and Dr. W. C. y Logan, while I have suggested, man Dged and thoroughly and unqualified ly approved of every step that has been taken, and incidentally I may say, been almost altogether instru mental in obtaining the leases that have been secured up to this date. It now seems that if a reasonable privi lege can be secured to pipe into the city natural gas, or gas made from fuel oil, that the drilling expenses can be financed. As a business proposi tion, natural gas would be altogether received and answered 299 letters. Advertising for that month cost us $111.39 for space not including stamps. More than 2(XX) letters have already been sent out however dur ing the present month of May, We have this letter front a man who wants to estijlilihli a glass factory here: "In reference to organize a com pany to start a glass factory, would like to hear from you as I promised to conic back this mouth.

Considerable comment was caused by the introduction of a bil in Con gress by Senator Bourne the object of which was to change the boun daries of this port giving slightly more tcrrirtory to the port of Port land and slightly less to the port of Astoria. It was noted that the bill considering the loose manner in which it was drawn might be construed to give to the Portland port district all of the north side of the Columbia River down to its mouth. But this was not the intention of the drawer of the bill, I understand. The in tention was merely to extend the Portland district from the mouth of the Williamette on down the Co lumbia to the 123rd degree of longi tude or at a point between Rainier and Qtiincy. Collector of the Port, Frank L. Parker, on his own initiative has se cured the necessary amendment to the proposed bill doing away with any ambiguity such that Portland might be construed as having a hold on the north bank of the river, so that there is nothing left to be done in the premises, thanks to the prompt action of Mr. Parker. Freight Rates. I have since the last meeting as per instructions then given, complained of the increased rate of 21 cents per hundred on hay. The railroad commis sion is now endeavoring to adjust the matter. After further investigation of the reported raise in the rate of freight on box shocks from this port to Caljfomia, it now appears that a mis take has been made somewhere in the clerical department of the S. P & S. R. R. 'o. and that there has been no such raise. The through rate of freight on shooks is now as it has been, 30 cents a hundred or $6.00 a ton. The New Military Company. City Attorney Abercrombie has succeeded in securing the necessary members and has organized his mili tary company since the last meeting. He is now in line to secure a propor tinate. part of any funds that may be had for the building of armories in the near future.

Mr. C.

Only 700 peo ple will be allowed aboard for the trip. Tickets will be printed and ortcred for sale as soon as the date of the arrival of the fleet is fixed. Here is the telegram received from Senator Fulton announcng the ar rangements lie had made for us: "Washington, D. C, May 2, 1908. j "Hon. W. T. Scholfield.

Among ot.xr feats In the east tbe learning by heart of tbe Koran la very widespread. Not only men, but worn eo and children, can be found who can repeat tbe tmly book from beginning to end wltbouf a mistake. Taking It In round numbers, the Koran contains, together wlili tbo additions, which are Included In tbe recitation, some 60,000 words. This la about tbe length of an average up to data novel, but. unlike tbo novel, there are no connecting links tbe wbolo book being a confuted and much mutilated Jumbleto enable tbe reciter to remember. To make the leant error would bo a deadly Bin, yet even children can go through It But tbla la not a!L For an Arable child to recite tbe Koran la wonderful enough, no doubt, but he understand what he la aaylng-tt is not to him an unknown languagebut for a child of another nation to recite It from beginning to end. without understanding the words he la laying, la a much more wonder ful feat of memory, and very few of those outside Arabia who can recite tbe Koran know more than a few of tbe simplest words, if they know those. England's Lion. Tbe British lion means so much to ua all that It aeema almost treason to suggest that be is after all not tbe ter rible wild fowl (to quote Bottom) that foreigners think him, but aad to aay, tbla la so. For in tbe older armorial bearing of England our lion Is a leop ard. It was all the fault of the early neraios or France, from whom oar arms seem to have been derived. Ae cording to them, tbe lions passant and gardant of tbe arms of the kings of England were either lions Jeoparded or lions maned. Tbe omission of the mane. In rude tricking, would reduce them to leopards, and tbla oar lions originally were. The Emperor Fred erick. in choosing his presents to our nenry III, so construed, according to Mathew Paris, our royal shield. "In quo tres leopardl traneuntes flgurantur" that la. In which three leopards, stalk Ing, are figured. Thus Henry seems to have had no reason to be annoyed when tbe emperor sent him the wrong emblematic beasts. -Pearson'a Weekly, Subscribe for the Morning Astorian, 60 cents per month.
