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.

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.

Thoe Detestable Whistles
Just for the sake of bolstering the
claim of the Morning Astorian that
the heedless and needless whistling
nf steamers, local and coastwise, is
not a matter of contracted or person
al prejudice, the following federal
rule concerning them, and adopted
bv the Board of Supervising Inspec
tors, at their annual meeting held on
January 7, 1907, under the authority
of an Act of Congress approved in
February of that year, is here pub
lished: "Unnecessary sounding ot
the steam whistle is, prohibited with
in anv harbor limits of the United
States. Wherever any licensed officer
in charge of any steamer authorizes,
or permits such unnecessary whist
ling, upon conviction thereof before
any board of inspectors having jur
isdiction, such officer shall be sus
pended from acting under his li
cense, as the inspector trying the
case may deem proper.

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:
