New Franchlae : Copie of the franchise for the pro posed electric line over city street have been'plnced in the hand of sev eral of the new member of the city council, to the end that they may be familiar with its provisions next Monday night, when the council will be asked to introduce and advance the franchise1 to its third and last reading The franchifc to be introduced is ap parently an exact duplicate of the one that the present council bad granted, but which was allowed to lapse.

Promotlv at 12 o'clock the noie and the merriment commenced, and still at 2 o'clock there wa much activity on thtt streets. It was a happy New Year for everybody, ap parently. Despite the warnings of the police that the writing on show win dows would not be tolerated it didn't eem possible to stop it, and nearly every store window in town had the year 19)9 chalked on it. Many people sat up to watch the new year in and the old one out, and there were many merry parties. The Accordion Ca Erland Johnson, the man who lost his accordion, and Peter Nissencn, the man who is accued of having stolen it, had their day in court yesterday, and the conclusion of the matter was that the judge and no one else could arrive at any conclusion. The trial was not completed, and will be con tinued Saturday afternoon. Nissenen was brought back from Rainier yes terday morning by Sheriff Pomcroy, and in the afternoon was arraigned. Me pleaded not guilty. Through t: aid of an interpreter each side told its story. Nissenen defended himself by stating that he had bought the ac cordion in Portland from a man for $!0 and a sweater. He looks like a nard working man and his defense carried some 'conviction with it. Mr. Brownell, assistant prosecuting attor ney, conducted the investigation. Be fore the commencement of the hear ing Justice Goodman had tfie com plaining witness and the defendant each play a, tune on the accordion, ami as each played it equally well it did not seem possible to get prejudiced in either man's favor. Blasting Ordinance On December 11 Mayor .Wise af fixed his signature to the blasting ordinance adopted by the council, and an ordinance becomes effectivt 20 days after the Mayor has appended his signature. Therefore the blasting ordinance goes into effect today, and by its provisions no person may do any blasting in the city without first having obtained a permit to do so from the city surveyor, Mr, Tee. The ordinance also provides that the citv surveyor may refuse to grant such a permit in his discretion, and in every case the contractors or others doing the work must put up a bond of not less than $1000 conditioned to met all damages that the blasting may do. Attention was directed to the matter yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, by a blast that was heard and felt over half the city, coming from the vicinity of the rock' crusher up on Fifteenth street. Further than this, Mr, Tee announces that he will posi tively not grant permits to use dyna mite; he will endeavor to stop the use of dynamite altogether, Mr. Tee has been making a study of the mat ter and states that the experts declare that the slow burning black blasting powder should be used, and not dyna mite. "The first man that uses a stick of dynamite from this date on," to that city. ' The best wishes of his many friends in Astoria go with him fr the early recovery of the little one and the afe return of the family to their home here. Atliletic Clerk .. V Definite arrangements have been made with VV. A. Kinney, of Portland, to act as clerk of the Athletic Club. He is a cousin of Dr. A. W. Kinney f this city. GET READYBE III THE BIG era Once every year there is an event in merchandising that is worthy of pub lic approval. That is the annual clearing sale of Daiuiger & Co., As toria' greatest clothcrs. The big es tablishment begins each January, just before invoicing, to clear out all fall and winter goods at prices that bring trade to Astoria for miles around. They go at things with a sharp price; knife and cut prices out of semblance to value. Thi year Mr. Danzigcr bought at San Francisco from a big wholesale house, retiring from busi ness, several thousands of dollars worth of fine suits, pants, overcoats, and cravenette at such a low price for spot cash, that Astoria will enjoy a bargain picnic worth a good deal to the consumer. Every department in the big store is cut wide open. ) No favorites played, only on contract goods, that is, such goods as are bought from makers under contract to be sold at a certain price. The sale begins 9 a. m. 'Saturday, January 2, 1909, and lasts for two weeks. You wil let anything keep you away. You will not be disappointed in styles, quali ties' or trifle lots in prices. ' Don't come before 9 a. m. Saturday as the doors will not open until that hour. A couple of salesmen will work night and day if necessary, marking down and arranging the big stock for the sale, and it will positively open on time, but no sooner, , , At the meeting of the water com mission yesterday afternoon the mem ber discussed at length the question of the provision of the city charter which demands a payment of $25 in taxes" to the city "as a condition pre cedent to election to membership in . that body. It was apparently decided, though in an informal way, that events will be permitted to take their course. The right of any of those elected to take their seats will not be contested by any of the- present holder of office. This was agreed to be the wisest an-t best course for several reasons, the principal one being that at all even's five of the incoming members are un questionably entitled to take their seats and they constitute a majoritv. The laws provide that the members of the comrnssion shall hold their of fices "until their successors are elect ed and qualified," and the question arose because of the presumed in ability of several of the gentlemen re cently elected to qualify under the provision of the city charter. It was pointed out that these five can readily qualify, no matter how the charter may be construed: 1. Berg man, J. W. Welch, F. A. Fisher, Gust Holmes, J. E. Ferguson. That is, they all pay more than $25 in city To You and Yours a . Happy, Contented and prosperous NEW YEAR 1 1 REALTY TRANSFERS Alice E. Wilson to J. H. Harriman lot 6, block 12, Elk- Creek Park; $75.

Subscribe to the Morning Astoriaa 60c per manth by mail or carrier. taxes. 1 It was also suggested that there might possibly be a question about I the ability of A. Brix, Frank Kank-1 konen, Peter Gimre, and Sofus Jen sen to qualify (no matter if it be true that they pay much more than the sum called for in the total of their taxes). Apparently Mr. Brix is the only one of these four who can qualify under the interpretation of the charter made by the city attorney, who included both city and ' school (axes. It is said the other three may have difficulty in qualifying, and on all sides there has been heard much comment and animadversion of the charter provision. Under the provis ion, as it is being interpreted, a man might own a fortune in bank, cannery or other local bonds, or might be a rich man most of whose property is not within the city limits, or might be one of the ablest and best men in the City and yet because comparative ly pooj-, would be shut out from hold ing office on the commission because of these facts. Another interesting matter has been much discussd among a few of the commissioners. They have apparent ly not been satisfied with the initiative legislation which took away their life tenures of office. There has been some talk of testing this in court The commission met yesterday for the purpose of auditing the accounts of the past month. The bills amoun: ed to $355.50 and the ' pay roll to $804. The resignation of Frank Crang as inspector was read and accepted. Mr. Crang is going with the Union 1 Oil Company. It was the last meet ing of the old commission. - - : Herman Wise : - Astoria's Reliable ClothieW ; IWishYouAU . A Happy and Prosperous New Year I A. V. ALLEN . . . Sole Agent for . . .
