AHEAD 111 JOB
MR. LEBECK IS SAID TO HAVE
PALKED ON 46TH STREET
PUBLIC WHARF MATTER.
It begins to look as if the plan to
construct a public wharf at the river
front on Forty-sixth street may nev
er be carried to a consummation.
After the Mayor had vetoed the
ordinance .and the Common Council
had passed the ordinance over this
executive negation, a contract was
entered into with L. Lebeck, the
contractor, to perform the work on
the improvement. That is, bids were
advertised for and Mr. Lcbcck's was
accepted as being the lowest.
The informal announcement "was
made yesterday at the city hall that
Mr. Lebeck had refused to sign up
on his contract, and still refuse to do
so, on the ground that he doesn't
want to ,run into a "law suit." In
presenting his bid, Mr. Lebeck
bound himself to faithfully perform
the details of the contract if award
ed to him, and gave sureties to the
same effect. Hence he is apparently
bound to go ahead with the work,
but it is understood that he will not
do so, and moreover, there is no dis
position thus far evinced to, try to
compel him to take up the contract.
It has been well known for several
weeks that the moment the work
was commenced one or more of the
property owners in the assessment
district were prepared to bring in
junction proceedings. Mr. Lebeck
evidently knew " of the threatened
litigation.
Councilman Bclland was the only
man who opposed the measure in
the Council chamber. In open meet
ing he called for an explanation of
the whole proceeding. The gist of
the matter seems ' to be that the
wharf is to be a public" one, In the
fullest sense of the word, just as the
city hall is a public utility, and yet a
few private property owners who do
not want the wharf,' arc called upon
to pay the' whole cost. , J i"
It seems to be well understood
that the wharf was needed more for
the1 brick plant than for anything
else, which made it seem all the
more strange that a few property
owners should be called upon to pay
for something that they did not
want, and which' was in itself a pub
lic utility.; It is said that the courts
have uniformally held that public
wharfs at the end of streets cannot
be treated as a continuation of a
street and charged to private prop
erty owners.
With Mr.1 Lebeck refusing to con
tinue with the contract, the next
step can only be conjectured.
By Way of Amendment
In the Astorian's account of the
St. Aldemar Commandcry . installa
tion in yesterday's issue, several er
rors crept in through inadvertance
and mis-information, that this paper
is desirous of correcting forthwith,
as follows: Captain George Wood
was installed as Sword Bearer for
the new commandcry, instead of Dr.
W. C. Logan; and R. M. Foster as
Standard Bearer, in place of Gerald
Bagnall, as reported; the name of
W. E. Grace, Grand Senior Warden
of the Grand Comma'ndery was left
out of the roster reported, by inad
vertance. And it has since develop
ed that the new commandery main
tains the office of Armourer, which
is filled by O. F. Heilborn. This, it
is believed, cures the discrepancies
that unintentionally appeared yester
day.
Deadlock Still On
The dead lock between George
Kaboth and Dr. Logan, both of
whom wish to tun for the Common
Council from the Second ward for
the four-year term, has not been
broken. Yesterday Dr. Logan filed
his petition for the place, filing as a
Democrat. Mr. Kaboth, (however,
refuses to enter the race as a Demo
crat, thinking that politics should cut
little figure in the local election, and
he will go before the Citizens' con
vention tomorrow night as a " non
partisan. He had registered as
a non-partisan, also. Both of these
gentlemen have many warm friends
and it will probably be a pretty race
between them. 1 ' : .

ASTORIA VISITED BY SOME
OF MR. HILL'S NOTABLE
' . LIEUTENANTS.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
there rolled into the A. & C. yards
in this city, a Great Northern Rail
way train of four private coaches,
hauled by one of the huge mountain
climbing engines of that service, and
these cars were filled with leading
officials of that line, most of them
hailing from Jhe headquarter city of
St. Paul. -.-,'
Among Ihc group of prominent
railway people were: J. M. Gruber,
general manager of the Creat; North
ern; E. L. Brown, general superin
tendent W. W, Brougbton, general
traffic manager; W. P. Kenney, as
sistant general traffic manager; A.
H, Hogcland, chief engineer; Alec
Stewart, assistant chief engineer,
with headquarters at Seattle; M. J.
Costelio, assistant traffic manager;
and William Harder, the company's
general agent at Seattle. Mrs. Gru
ber and Mrs. Brown accompanied
their husbands on the trip.
President Francis B. Clark, of the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle, the
"North Bank" system, was of the
party, as was H. M. Adams, general
freight and passenger agent of that
line; and the train was in the capa
ble hands of Superintendent John
McCuire, of the A. & C. Railway.
Only a momentary stop was made
in this city; a fresh engine being
hitched to it, and then it' sped on to
Seaside, where it was immediately
reversed and left up for Portland
and Seattle ahead of the evening ex
press out of here at 6:10 o'clock.
Mayor Herman Wise was at the
depot when the special .arrived and
Wet the entire party with a courte
ous invitation to stay over and ascer
tain some pleasant facts 'about As
toria, but the exigencies of the trip
forbade this, though the gentlemen
severally expressed their regrets at
the enforced haste under which they
were traveling , and which prevented
their acceptance of the mayor's po
lite bidding,
Messrs. Kenney and Harder re
mainder in this city until the coast
run was made, and then joined the
party for the up-tripi Mr. Kenney
said that this was his first visit to
Astoria, and from the looks of things
he believed he wanted to come back
and stay awhile, which, in all like
lihood he 'would before the winter
had passed. Asked if there was a
possibility that the common-point
rate on grain would be established
for Astoria in the near future, Mr.
Kenney confessed that he "had
heard a conversation lately which
bore upon this important problem,
but just how it had eventuated, or
whether it had been conclusive - of
any determinate opinion he had real
ly forgotten," all of which is on a
par with the sum of specific infor
mation given out by railway mag
nates when they are out on the road.
He had some very pleasant things
to say about Astoria, however, and
his interlocutor let him off with this,
and passed to converse on general
themes, upon which he was much
franker and certainly more interest
ing. .
Clothes Absolute Free.
In order to thoroughly advertise
his "Monster clothing and hat sale"
which begins TUESDAY morning,
Herman Wise has adopted a clever
plan introduced by a Chicago firm.
Before the beginning of the sale, a
date is written on two slips of paper,
the slips "sealed inside of two en
velopes and one deposited with each
of the two daily papers, At the end
of the sale three responsible men
break the seals, the date 13 made
known and all customers who hold
sales slips for that date presents
their sales checks at Herman Wise's
Clothing Store and get the money
back for all clothes bought on that
date, whether the slips calls for $1
or $100 so no matter what you buy
on that day costs you nothing; but
whatever day of the SALE you buy
clothes at .Herman Wise's store you
get big Bargains and on one day you
get clothes FREE. :
