stated that some of the properties at

commenced sluicing into the hillside.
Big Crop To Date
There is, or ought to be, good

that the cranberry merchants over
there f ire Just shipping . 30 huge

Eighth Street
Since the recent rains Eighth
street up on the heights has been in
deplorably bad shape, and the nu
merous wagons coming into towns
the past few days have cut it all to
pieces. The mud seem to be of
several inchc deep already, and the
moisture evidently lies in the sticky
soil just where it falls. The nature
of the clayey soil doe not seem to
permit of .any quick drainage. Inas
much as this street is the main art
ery for all traffic to and from all of
the farming country in that direction
from the city, it naturally ought to
be placed in the best of shape. It
would appear to be evident that
until the street is thoroughly rocked
and crowned.. it .will always be a sea
of mud during the rainy , months.
Last year it was graded to its full
width, and property owner have ex
pressed willingness for further im
provements to be made, but for one
reason or another the matter has
been left to lie over. ' It is perhaps
very likely that the street will keep
on getting worse during the winter.
Yesterday Mr, Kearney,' the superin
tendent of streets, expressed some
fear that it may become almost im
passable before the winter is over.
One biock of the street, in front of
the Higgins place, ? has been im
proved thi summer, but the worst
of the street is just above this block.
"More, Th Happier"
Tom Bradon, the well known ex
manager for the Frank L. Smith
Meat Co., intend to open a first-
class meat market, tomorrow morn-
inir, in the store room heretofore
used by the Automatic ' moving-
picture show, on Commercial street,
near Seventeenth. He will keep the
finest of meats at prices that will as
tonish even those who have been
indulging the best of the abated
rates known here.
Gull and Salmon
A well known Astorian just fn
from the Nehalem, via the coast
trail, reports that the gulls at the
mouth of Elk Creek are thicker than
in years, and that they are busily
engaged, in cluods and flock and
swarms, in attacking the incoming
salmon as they flounder across the
shallows into the deeper waters of
that famous creek, picking out the
eves of the fish and leaving all else
until the helpless "silversides" have
thrashed their way to the banks,
when they are altogether at .the
mercy of the "air-scavengers" and
are promptly devoured.
Off For The South
The A. & C railway people have
been selling lots of transportation
lately, especially to those who are
going home to Europe and the
Eastern states on visits of greater or
less duration. Yesterday the com-
oany disposed of tickets to Mr. and
Mrs. H. B. Voshel and family, hence
to Wolf Creek, Oregon, where they
will settle and make a home, having
friends and state-mates in the city
of Ashland, which renders it more
attractive to them. Mr. and Mrs.
William Dodge, of Pasadena, Cal.,
also (purchased a transportation to
that beautiful home-land and will de
part today, after a delightful visit of
a couple of weks at the hospitable
home of P. C. Warren in Warren-ton.
New Switch-Board Duo
The cheerful news was given out
yesterday from authentic sources,
that the big, new switch-board for
use in the Pacific States Telephone
Company's new brick station on Ex
change street, is expected here daily,
by steamer, from San Francisco,
along with all the fixtures, equipment
and paraphernalia that goes with this
important element of the business.
The company is just in receipt of a
big lot of field supplies which will be
used in the amplifying of its long
distance lines between Portland and
this city, and hence to Seaside. The
material sent here will be employed
in furnishing the construction gangs
as they approach this city from
the Portland end, and some of it
will' go out the other way in com
pleting the service between here and
the coast and points en route.
New Meat Market
Mr. Bradon, late manager of the F.
L. Smith Meat Co.,- will open up a
market with a full line of clean

Petitions Filed
The seawall petition was filed late
yesterday afternoon. Earlier in the
day the "promotion bill" petition,
asking that public taxes be used to
aid the Chamber of Commerce work,
was also filed. The seawall petition
had 21 signatures. The initiative
and referendum amendment to the
charter provides that all such peti
tions must be filed with the city
auditor "at least by the first Mon
day of the first month" next, preced
ing the city election. This phraseol
ogy apparently is somewhat ambig
uous, and many have taken it to
mean that yesterday, was the last
day for filing, today being Sunday.
It is the word "by" that is equivo
cal. Does "by Monday" mean that
petitions may be filed on Monday, or
'only up to Monday? Judge Ander
son was compelled to make some in
terpretation of the ambiguous phrase
and yesterday he decided that he
would accept any petitions for filing
that may be presented up to 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon; that is, he in
terprets "by Monday" to mean in
clusive of Monday. Judge Anderson
evidently thought that if he was to
err, he would err on the side that
would give petitioners a chance, any
way. When the school teacher tells
her pupils' that if they are not at
school by 9 o'clock they will be
marked tardy sW doesn't mean that
it is 9 o'clock until it is 10 o'clock;
nevertheless "by" is a preposition of
varied and various meanings.

Praise Astonia High
The Eugene newspapers were lost
in their praise of the Astoria foot
ball game and the Astoria players.
It was the nerviest and pluckiest
game ever witnessed in that uswtf
sity town, Says the Register. "A
cleaner lot of . tacklers has never
played on Kincaid field, and &e
gaminess that they showed in step
ping up the local's fierce onslaughts
aroused he admiration of the whole
crowd," say the article. The stire

filled with such praise. The Astor
ians were dubbed the "Fishermen."
