The Port of Astoria bill was last night formally endorsed by the Cham ber of Commerce and will be present ed to the voters at the December election for their approval or rejec tion. The bill met with but little ob jection from the membert present at the session last night, and on the contrary did meet wtih much favor. The bill as read did not include the names of the gentlemen who will comprise the Port of Astoria commis sion, and that one detail was left to be completed at the next meeting of the Chamber. But aside from this one matter, the bill stands endorsed by the Chamber and this means that it is to go before te people with the powerful backing of the city's strongest and most representative civic body. Much of the work In preparation of the bill has been done by Mr. G. Wingate, with whom the whole matter has been a labor of great Interest, and last night Mr. Wingate took an important part in the discussiona. The bill was read seriatim. While many minor corrections or amend ments were made, yet on the whole the bill gave satisfaction and for the most part was accepted as read. It had been drawn in careful and com plete manner by Attorney James A. Eakin and is said to be a most ex cellent instrument for the creation of a port, with all of a port's attendant rights and privileges. At the commencement of the ses sion Judge Taylor objected to the endorsement of the first section, and in discussing the matter stated his objections to the entire proposed pro ject. Judge Taylor's principal ob jections were based on the fact that already the city is laden with a bond ed debt of considerable proportions and that the port of Astoria project would but largely increase this bond ed debt, while the speaker could see no great or positive need for such a plan at all. It was evident by their votes that a few in the audience agreed withr Judge Taylor, but they were greatly in the minority. Objection was made to the bill by Judge Taylor inasmuch as it called for an issue of $500,000 worth of bonds. This section was changed, however, in a very material way. As amended it reads that the commis sion may arrange for a levy of taxes which in no year may exceed five mills on the dollar. At the next meeting of the council the commission is to be named and .other details settled in relation to the matter. Mr. Gratke made a mo tion at the meeting that a committee of three be appointed to study into what the Port of Portland bill is, and what Portland is planning to do; and especially to prepare a public statement for the people of Astoria showing that on emergency exists calling for the immediate passage of the Port of Astoria bill. Otherwise the best interests of the city cannot be conserved. This motion was adopt ed. , Fine Large Ripe If You Pay More Than SMITH'S Prices for Meat Whom Do You Own Pocket. Pigs' Feet Liver . .

Edwin L, Sinnot Succumbs to Dread Reaper Just as he Reaches Majority. the The had, yet not entirely unexpect ed, news of the death of Mr, Edwin L. ftnnott, of this city, was announc ed early yesterday morning. The young man was well and hap pily known in this city where he was born just 21 years ago. He has been ailing for sometime past with a veryj serious cold, which developed latter-; ly into pneumonia, and to this grave change is due his lamented death. Mr. Sinnot was at one time engag ed a bank at the metropolis, but came here some months ago for the benefit of the change, and was a valued employe of the First National Bank of this city, where he was ap preciated for very many manly quali ties and for his faithful conduct of his share of the work of that insti tution. He waa a popular member of the Catholic order Knights of Columbia, and his fraters will have charge of the last sad rites at the funeral, which takes place this morning from St. Mary's church. Interment will be had at beautiful Greenwood, and there the services will be entirely private. "MISSOURI GIRL" TOMORROW, Recent report of "The Missouri Girl" through the dramatic papers show that the company is meeting with the same dramatic and financial success as in the past The-cast is said to be far better than ever be fore and the show is playing to "standing room only in nine tenths of the theatre in which they appear. It would take ten companies to fill all the dates offered Fred Raymond for his "Missouri Girl" show this season. Manager Hanlin is fortunate in secur ing this excellent attraction and we hope the people will show their ap preciation of his effort by filling the theatre tomorrow night. As a laugh producer "The Missouri Girl" has no equal. It is not that low vulgar comedy that is sometimes seen in stage performances, but clean, refin ed comedy that is really funny, with out being vulgar.

At a meeting last night of the , committee on ways and means of the common council, the city,, attorney, and F. L. Evans, the promotor of the Asotria, Seaside & Tillamook electric railway line, the matter of the fran- , chise asked for over the city's street was discussed in many of its details. At the' close of the meeting it waa said that the committee has apparent ly no objection to the granting of the franchise, '., though , several amend ments to the instrument were pro posed to safeguard the interests of the city. One provision is that the city may take over the line within the city after the expiration of ten yeara providing the citizens so desire. The franchise asks for the right to run lines over .these certain street, namely, beginning on Duane and Twelfth and thence running oa Twelfth street south to intersection with Franklin avenue; thence wester ly along Franklin to Eleventh; thence south on Eleventh to Irving; thence east on Irving to Twelfth; thence on Twelfth to Kensington, and thence westerly on Kensington to west boun dary of Shivels Astoria; also begin ning at the north end of Fourteenth street; thence running south to Lewis street in central Astojia; thence westerly on Lewis to Thirteenth and thence southerly on Eleventh to Mc westerly on Clatsop to Eleventh; thenec southerly on Eleventh to Mc Clure avenue, thence westerly to Fifth street Also the franchise is asked for on certain other streets in the western part of the city. It is apparently contemplated to use the single track only on most of the streets. Last evening the surveying force was called in from the work down near Seaside, and it is announced that all the surveying for the line ia now completed between here and Seaside. Most of the force that has been at work locating the line will now be set to work figuring on the cost of construction, preparatory to the arrival of the representatives of the underwriters, who are expect ed here the latter part of the month. friend, the late G.
