One of the initiative .petitions ''re
cently, filed wit!) , Judge Anderson,
the city auditor, will probably have
to be turned back to the men' who
secured the signatures, .for the rea
son that the petition was not pre
pared in the wanner demanded by
the municipal 'law covering the matter."-
"' .- ('--''-, -.'
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.

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.

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.

G. C Fulton, the president, presided

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

that a membership as large as is. de
