On Church And Lodge
At the First Baptist Church Sunday
night there was a large congregation
present to listen to the sermon by the
pastor, the Rev, Conrad L. Owen, on
the subject of the "Church and the
Lodge." A special invitation had
bsc'n extended to the members of the
various lodges of the city and many
vf their members availed themselves
of the opportunity to listen to a talk
cm the relationship between these
two organizations, the one primarily
purely religious and the other benev
olent, moral and fraternal. A special
program had been prepared and Dr.
O. B. Estcs gave an address of wel
come, and this was responded to iy
Dr. H. L. Henderson, who spoke for
the lodges. Dr. Henderson was
tencd to with much interest by all
and his address was an able and
pleasing one. The pastor, Mr. Owens,
also won attention and interest with
his sermon, and the subject seemed
to awaken a general interest. It is
the purpose of the Rev. Mr. Owens
to give a scries of sermons on the
relationship between certain practical
sides of life and the church, and next
Sunday night he will give a sermon
on the business man and the church.

THE PORT OF ASTORIA
IS ENDORSED
BILL IS READ SECTION BY
SECTION AND IS ADOPTED
BY THE CHAMBER.
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. ,

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.
PERSONAL MENTION
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Phillips leave
for Salem on this evening's train for

Rev. G. Blessing will leave out on

COMMITTEE
ELECTRIC FRAF1CHISE
IT IS SAID THERE SEEMS NO
OBJECTION TO GRANTING
IT AS ASKED FOR.
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.
