on which it is proposed to spend
about $5000, annually during its earlier
years: "When the Port of London
Bill was further considered by the
Joint Parliamentary Committee on
Tuesday, Sir W. Bull, M.F., pointed
out that owing to the .fine array of
eminent counsel the proceedings cost
10s. a second. If the committee were
to sit only nine day9 more, as pro
nosed, the total cost will be 158,-

To Cables Wires-
Manager C. W. Lamar, of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
announces that pursuant to the plans
of the company, and the permit here
tofore sought and had of the common
council, thf company's wires on Com

are to be taken down at once, and
cabled, and then placed beneath the

of Twelfth street, where they will
take the poles again, on that line;,
cast, and west, out of the city. The
materials for the change are all on
the ground and the work wilt go for
ward at once.
The Fuel Situation
In a letter of advice to City Agcn'
Giles B. Johnson, of the A. te C,
received yesterday, H. M. Adams, of
the general office of the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle Railway, the ques
tion is raised of the expediency of
Astorian9 providing 9 gainst a fuel fa
mine such as prevailed here some
time ago, and suggesting that Mr.
Johnson look into the situation and
do what he may to meet it as it de
veloped, in a transportation sense.
The matter has its points of interest
to many, and Mr. Johnson's further
investigation is likely to accentuate
them. For instance, from his reports
to headquarters, on the subject of fuel
transportation as between the Tongue
Point -milling plant and the city, the
A. & C. hauled 23 cars of slabwood
fuel in July, 107, and 134 cars' in July
of this year, which indicates that Mr.

Rigors Of War Duty
Officers and 'men at Forts Stevens

duties of field and camp work, with
their comfortable barracks as far
away as if the companies were on
distant fighting territory (but quite
near enough to be well remembered,
at odd moments). The forces are

Marshal Kinney, of Portland, was
in this city yesterday, looking op cer
tain matters of interest and incident

acquaintances Mr. Kinney, speaking
to an Astorian reporter, declared that
he "still had abundant faith in As
toria; that the city was active and
business-like, and maintained itself
as well as any on the upper coast, and
far better than many; that her lum
ber mills were running steadily, the
biggest of them all, maintaining the
only double shift in the country; that
the present fishing season was to b'e
one of the best in years; and that,
generally, she was in very promising
condition." All of which had the
proper unction, coming from a man

Art Of Knowing How
The man who neds, or wants, a les
son in the practicalities of life, can
get one at every step he makes
through a live town like Astoria; for
instance, yesterday, in the dim and
grim silence of the westerly half of
the big O. R. & N. pier, a reporter
came across a sturdy drayman, work
ing quite alone and doing an immense
task, and doing it well. He was load
ing a three-ton donkey boiler and en
gine, and alK its ponderous appurte
nances, on the dray, by himself, with
the aid of the truck-winch and cable
with which the vehicle was equipped.
He made no fuss about it, but simply
went ahead, with trained skill and
equally trained patience, and a few'
hand tools; did not seem to work?
overly hard either; but he put that
huge outfit safely, and cleverly, on the
truck, and then went to the barn for)
the team that he drove, brought them

destination prescribed in his orders,
and as deliberately, and easily, un
loaded it. He never lost a moment,
and so far as the reporter knows,
never "cussed" once. It's all in the
art of "knowing how."
