The 'Jaw jitateg clearly '.just how such petitions v shall be prepared. ihere shall not be more than 20 - r - a names on each sheet. Each signer shall give his name, addrew, inc!ud; ing street and number, and shall give his voting precinct. Other minor de tail are called for. In the petition filed with the auditor, these matters were not all given; for example, none of the voting precincts were stated at all. It was alio not stated that the signer were resident of this city and state. While jit may be true that these provisions are direc tory and not mandatory, and might be so held by the courts, nevertheless it seems to be only inviting trouble in not living up to the plain provisions of the law. , After consultation with the city at torney ; yesterday, Judge Anderson made up his mind that it would not be safe to proceed with the publica tion of the petition as filed with him, The city auditor is probably justified in refusing to go ahead with the publication of a petition that ap pear on its face to be faulty espec- ally when it ts remembered that the aw requires that a printed copy of each and every petition must be sent by mail to every elector in the city. The mere publication of one of the petitions, with all the names and de tailed addresses, and the cost of mail ing, will probably cost from $400 to $800, and therefore it would appear s the auditor should take care in seeing that the petitions filed with im are properly made out. Other wise their faulty construction would robably only invite litigation. The city will have some pretty big billg to pay by reason of the peti tions. The cawa!l, or . bulk head matter, alone is going to cost a pretty penny. V I Bon i : Coy)tjhl j3 y tCHLOSS B80S. A CO.

Work I Completed The force of men that has been employed by the Water Commission in making extensions and repairs out Svenson way is expected in today, all of the work having been completed as planned. For the past few day the men have been working on the pipe line road between Worselcy's and Carlson'. The Summer's work in eluded the laying of about 400 feet of pipe line to bring water from Fat Buck Creek into Bear Creek, thereby increasing the flow about 300,000 gal lons a day. A full supply has not been received from the Cedar Creek dis trict, also, because of the loss by seepage on the way. The ground is very porous there. To avoid this loss by seepage a new dam was built and vitrified pipe laid through the grounds where the loss was greatest. Don't Forget That you will probably need a THIS WINTER LAVS m CO. CAN SUIT YOU After Health Data l he Mate Board of Health has sent a list of questions to this city to be answered, chiefly referring to the water supply and its purity. Questions wer asked as to the source of the supply. Astoria considers her water supply to be of the very best, not excelled anywhere in the state. The water comes from small moun tain streams and is as pure and wholesome as any water can be in a natural state.' Questions were also asked as to the methods of controll ing the supply, how 'inspected, and the like. Also the proportion of peo ple in the city who do not use city water, but have independent springs or wells of their own. Mr. Louns- berry, clerk of the Water Commis sion, to whom, these questions were referred, was not able to answer (his last noe definitely, as there is no means of exactly ascertaining the number of persons who do not use the city water. The amount of typhoid fever in the city was a detail also asked. : -., 1 Since that time, as the ready to wear garments improved from the crude ill fitting sloppy clothes to the masterpieces of today, Mr. Wise has learned where to get the BEST. .'l;ri' iv. . i f ; mmmmummmmmmmmmmmmmmm 'V1- ' i No man can sell you a stylish all wool suit for a song, but if you really desire good up to the minute togs, you may depend on it WISE has it with the WISE guarantee behind it.

The directors were instructed to take the necessary legal steps to establish the association its new footing. Out of some 220 shares in the associa tion approximately 150 were repre sented at the meeting last night, thus constituting a majority that had the right to act in the manner stated. G. C Fulton, the president, presided at the session last night. H. R. Hoe- fler, II. F. Prael and J. C. McCue were appointed a committee to for mulate bylaws. Upwards of ; 100 members were present last night and much interest is being shown in the outlook for the new athletic club. On all sides there is a feeling that the club will prove one . of the finest blessings that can befall the young men -of the city, and it is probable that a membership as large as is. de sired can be secured very rapidly.
