The dances have stopped. It is understood that the agent of the building took a hand in the matter, after the public charges that had been made against the character of the entertainment there, and cancelled the lease held by those who were giving the dances. "The dances were very bad," said Dr. Rosenberg last evening. "Young girls, 13 and 14 years of age, attended them. Beer was carried in from a near-by saloon, and sometimes the lights would be turned out. I fully in tended to take the matter up before the grand jury next month, but now everything is all right." The common council or the police did nothing in the matter though the chairman of the council committee to which the subject of Dr. Rosenberg's complaint had been referred, stated in the council room that the charges were well founded.

Mr. Adams, in speaking of the new tariff sheet of the "North Bank" sys tem, which has been framed up, ap proved, and becomes effective Septem ber first, says that it is compiled on a Portland terminal basis and does not comprehend Astoria nor the A. & C. territory west of the metropolis, and affords no relief whatever to shippers and consignees, and, of course, docs not even tentatively, grant "common point" on grain to this port nor the mdutb of the river. Touching upon this latter matter, Mr. Adams said, last night, to a re porter for Astorian, that whenever the question of the common point grain rate to Astoria shall come up either upon the initiative of the roads at interest, or upon any sort of an aggressive demand put up by As toria and the country tributary to it, it would involve all the trunk lines in the Northwestern field in its conces sion and formulation; that the Spo kane, Portland & Seattle road was not, in the larger sense, a grain road and does not traverse a grain coun try, as do the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and the Oregon Railway & Navigation lines; that the extra cost of hauling the grain the 100 miles west of Portland, or 60 west of Gobla would have to be borne by the com pany originating the shipment, and the assumption of this cost was re sisted, and would be, .by the com panies concerned, until there appear ed far hfiHur rearn than exist a portions present, for putting Astoria on the same grain . basis now enjoyed by Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.
