' Otto Peterson submits the follow ing interesting letter anent his re cent withdrawal from the pending campaign, and the Astorian gladly publishes it at his request: "Astoria, Or., Nov. 18, 1908. "Editor The Astorian: 'Dear Sir: -In the news columns of The Astorian during the past HI days 1 have been given several write ups and perhaps got more notoriety than 34 years residence in Astoria entitles me to; it all having come about owing to my having received the nomination on three tickets for the four-year term as Water Com missioner from the Fourth ward. "It it just as well that the public should know how I happened to be a candidate for such an office. Sev eral of the best citizens in the Fourth ward asked me to represent them in the Water Commission, and my peti tion was prepared partly without mv consent. Having doubted the legal ity of being able to hold such a po sition as my name did not appear as a taxpayer or property holder my portion of taxes being puiil by a local corporation in which I am a stock holder and what property I own here and at Seaside being in my wife's name I did, before filing my peti tion, call at the office of a local at torney and after explaining the cir cumstances to him I asked, in the presence of three or four gentlemen, if I could legally hold the office men tioued. I was informed that I could. Hence the filing of my petition. "Even after such advice my sus picions were still unsettled so I call ed at the office of Fulton Bros, seek further light. When I explain ed my case, I was instantly referred to Section 156 of the. Charter of the City of Astoria, which section com pletely knocked the underpinning from one of the political aspirants from the Fourth ward. My career as a politician was of short dura tioflu However, in the future aa ia the past, my name will be Otto Peterson, and a grateful memory shall always cherish a kindly feeling for the representatives of the three parties, Republican, Citizen: and Democrat, who willingly, and with out solicitation, placed such confi dence in me. "I shall not forget the fairness (?) of some of my neighbors who were good and kind enough to take an ndirect slap at me by stating (after they doubtless knew I was disquali fied to hold the office) that there were people working and inspecting streets who were not taxpayers. In closing I beg to say that I have been a direct and indirect con tributor to the tax roll of Clatsop county for over 31 years; since the days when the street in front of my property was used as a county road I have paid for its improvement al though it always has been, and i now, the only practical street leading to Uppertown and now in my old days I am not coming before the public pleading lack of sanitary (or sanity) conveniences and demanding that the property of widows anil or phans and generations yet unborn be bonded so as to improve the tide flals in front of my lots as do some of your business and political char latans when they ak for the building of a seawall, the raising of the grade and the bankruptcy of the city of Astoria.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Bradeii Meat Market 684 Commercial St. ; ' Facing Hospital WmtMttttWMMHWttMHHHtH STILL SEEKING JAPS FOR THE LANDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AL SO HAS PLAN TO INTER EST OTHER FOREIGNERS Despite the fact that the federated trades of Astoria have placed them selves on record as being opposed to the bringing of Japanese here for the purpose of working on the Jog- ged-off lands in the vicinity of As toria, the efforts to carry out the plan zn not permitted to lag. It be gins to look as if a colony of the Japs will yet be brought here. A. A. Whipple, formerly a resi dent of this city, and still a large land holder in Clatsop county, now resides in Seattle and much of the information secured by the Chamber of Commerce comes through Mr. Whipple. In t letter received yes terday by the Chamber Mr. Whippl states in detail some of the things' the little brown' men have done on Ioggcd-off lands in the vicinity of Seattle. The plan there has been to rent them the lands for 10 years, or 15 years, and in cases where the stumps "were still on the soil the only consideration asked was that it be cleared off. Mr. Whipple's com munication states that in some in stances the Japs have annually made several hundred dollars ''an acre" off their free lands, though that 'would indicate that the rented lands mur have been near enough to Seattle to us them in raiding garden truck. Certain gentlemen who own lands in the neighborhood ol l utmamct have also become interested in th Japanese proposition, ' and wish to secure a colony for that part of the country. In the Cathlamet locality are tracts of level land that may ap pear attractive to the Japs. In addition to this plan the Cham ber of Commerce has taken up a plan of endeavoring to interest cer tain people in Xorway and Sweden. Circular letters are to be sent to them offering the use of the loggcd off lands upon the consideration that they be cleared off. It would appear that the form of the proposition made to the people in Sweden and Norway, however, is . inviting trouble. The federal laws against any form of alien contract labor arc very stringent. Whether the people from these countries would take to the land any more freely than their very numerous countrymen who have been here for many years may appear doubtful. Those who actual ly own the land seem to pin their only hope on the Japs. -.WERE WEO Ci CHURCH LASIEIfli MANY GATHER TO SEE MAR RIAGE OF MR.

Stokes and Miss Margaret May Higgins, members of two of Astoria's well known and leading families, were married at the First Methodist church last night, the ceremony being performed at 8 o'clock by the Rev. C. C. Rarick pastor of the church. The wedding of the young people was a notable one in many ways, for they both are of representative fami lies of the city, and have many friends and well-wishers. The church was beautifully decorated for the oc easion, ferns being mostly used, and was crowded with menus ot tne young people. The scene at thy wedding ws a pretty and inspiring one. it was good weather tor a wed ding, too, for the winds and showers of the day had mostly passed away, leaving a sky studded with star. The bride was beautifully attired in white crepe de chicn, made in em pire style, with train, and she car ried a shower bouquet of bride's roues. She also wore a bride's veil. Miss Winifred Higgins 'was maid of honor, and she was attired in pink. and Miss Grace Stokes, the brides maid, in blue. E. A. Higgins was best man. The ushers were J. A. licckwith, L C. McLeod, R. McLean, and Lieutenant Richard Park of Van couver Barracks, After the ceremony at the church the bridal couple went to the ITig- gin's home on Eightji street, and for an hour or two many friends gather cd there informally to extend their congratulations. The home was beau tifully decorated also, with ferns and palms. , Mr. and Mrs. Stokes will make their home at 12th street and Grand avenue, and wilt leave today for a short . honeymoon trip to valley towns. Among those who went to the home last night were members of the Thursday Club, of which the bride is a member. NEW ARRIVALS Imported Malaga" Grapes 1 ?NodlHjrn Spy. Jonathan arid King Apples.
