' 5a ; THB WORSE THAN IS ARE EIGHT GENERALLY KNOWN SEAWALL SIMPLY ANOTHER OUT OP THE 25 TO BE FILLED EXPEDIENT FOR FOIST- INO BIO CONTRACTS, The Aiiorian is In receipt of an other and pertiment communication from "C," who seems to have a pretty fair comprehension of things as they actually exist here; and it may be said, in patting, that he ac quired most of it in the sharp and hard school of heavy and , frequent tax-paying; "Astoria, Nov. 13, 1908. "Editor Astoriun: ' ' "Our esteemed evening paper iter ates and reiterates the statement that a seawall is greatly needed to reduce the cost of maintaining the street In that part of the city over the water. Why it should be so greatly concerned about the matter is hard to understand, when the property owners In that part of the city arc not clamoring, or even ask ing, for it. "Then too, the claim is being made that a seawall is a public necessity, on account of the ill effect upon the public health occasioned by lack of a seawall; but our friend does not tell u what we are suffering from, at present. If the sewerage Is bad, then the present sewers should be put in condition and carried out to deep water. Most of them were built to deep water when first constructed, and the fact that they have not been maintained and kept in proper re pair is a glaring evidence of the in capacity of those who have been in authority in recent years. But then, they were out of sight and the pub lic wouldn't know whether they were kept in repair or not; and, if they had been kept in repair, one of the arguments in favor of a seawall, with the incidental necessary expenses connected with preparing and pre senting a bill therefor, would not have existed. The cost and expense of extending and maintaining the sewers would be but a fraction of the cost of a aeawall. "Tlie woeful incompetency of a .'non-partisan' city government, such as we have had the last few years, makes one wish, once more, for a Hood old-fashioned partisan (in name a well a in fact) government, such as we used to have when there was no 'sailing under false color;' when they did not fight from ambush but came out and fought in the open; when the business of the city was conducted on business principles; when oublic improvement were w ! what It Is to be Mr. Peterson could not stay as yet; but made at fast a required by existing he wat very cheerful about It, even conditions and the property would ... a . . a stand it. and when people were not taxed, regardless of their ability to pay. The name 'Citizen, as used in political tense, has been so grossly public for gross neglect and Incom petency and shameful extravagance. "G." KRAUT! KRAUT Home Made Sour Kraut 10c Per Quart.

OFFICES OILY AT THE MUNICIPAL ELEC TION ON DECEMBER 9 Despite the pother that is made about the election on December 9, and the1 number of candidates that are in the political arena, the real campaign lies between only a very few men. There are but eight con tested offices, a follow: Between Mr. Elmore and Mr. Smith, for the mayoralty. Between Mr. Kearney and ,; Mr. Wentjar, for the office of trest superintendent Between Mr. Prael and Mr. Han son, for the office of councilman at large. Between Mr. Wright and Mr. Young, for the office of water com missioner at large. Between Mr. Holmes and Mr. Trenchard, for the office of water commissioner in the Third ward for the term okeight years. Between Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Ka both for the office of councilman in the Second ward for the term of four year. ' .Between Mr. Robinson and Mr. Fox for the office of councilman in the Third ward for the two-year term. Between Mr. M. Young and Mr. Anderson for the office of water commissioner from the Fourth ward for the eight-year term. Of course the main issue is be tween Mr. Elmore and Mr. Smith for the office of mayor, and it seems to be believed that as the mayoralty goes, so will the majority of the council go. If Mr. Elmore is elected to the mayor chair it would eem almost useless for the elector to place him there unless at the same time they place . in the council the men who will vote with him on his policies. There are about 25 offices to be filled in the - municipal election, but in the other office there is no con test, unless by chance there is Inad vertantly an error made in this re sume. Most of the other candidates have been endorsed by both of the regular parties, or by the three of them. "MONTHS AND SEASONS"' School Benefit by the Largest Chorus Ever Trained in Astoria.

WTBB The Reliable Clothier and Hatter This afternoon at 3 o'clock, on the A. F. C grounds, the Astoria High school and the Portland Academy football teams will try conclusions. This is a return game to the one played in Portland, on the 26th of last month, which was won by Astoria High by a score of 11 to 4. Since that time the Portland team has been greatly strengthened, and their old coach, Percy Blanchard, now has them in hand. That the con test will be keen is a forgone con-J elusion. The Astoria team is about IS pounds lighter to the man, but they play good ball, and can be depended noon to make a good showing. With the exception of Capt Parker, and Quarterback Rogers, all the men are in excellent condition. Wafrnns will leave the corner of Eleventh and Commercial strets, at 2:30 and 2:45 p. m. for the grounds; nominal charge will be made for the round-trip. The line up will be as follows: P. A. A. H.
