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.

$111.39 for space not including

already been sent out however dur

The Port of Astoria Boundaries.
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.

The excursion across the bar to see
the fleet of naval vessels is now ar
ranged excepting the date and we
hope to Hiccced in having the date
fixed almost immediately, and have
bcin strenuously endeavoring to do
so for the past two weeks. Mr. C.
W, Cullender has done all he can in
the way of completing arrangements
until the date is fixed and has author
ized me to announce positively how
ever that the price of the excursion
will be $5 per ticket. 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:

A Marvel ef the East.
Among ot.xr feats In the east tbe
learning by heart of tbe Koran la very
widespread. Not only men, but worn

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

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
