She will sail tomorrow morning from the O. R. & N. docks. ' The Tillamook liner Sue H. Elmore is still in port and so are the half hundred people who have counted on getting home on her. They are mak ing the best of the delay and having a good time in Astoria "while they wait All beacons and buoys due to be set in the Columbia river between Altoona and Astoria have been set and the Armeria is doing the rest np stream and will soon be down and finished. - ' The coast liner Geo. W. Elder is not due in this port until Friday next. The only way for her to get back on her schedule is to lose enough time to reach here on Monday next There was some talk on the water front yesterday of hauling the fine British ship Donna Franceses from the Tongue around into Young's Bay for the balance of the winter, but the rumor could not be confirmed. The steamer Lurline was on the dot last night, coming and going. When she went np at 7 o'clock, she had on board: W. E. Standahl, B. F. Clayton, M. E. Silverman, J. D. Bellzinger, Mrs. A. F. Taylor. The French bark Bossuet, Captain Janet, grain laden for the United Kingdom, for orders, arrived down the river on Sunday last and will take her flight over the bar at the first practicable moment. The steamer Eureka, from Eureka, Cal., was among the arrivals in this port yeMerday. She went on to Port land after stopping at the Callender dock and discharging about 17 tons of freight. The steanr-hip Senator came in yesterday morning about breakfast time and docked at the O. R. & N., where she dropped 15 to 20 tons of local freight before going on to Port land.

Y.T t ivi reeeaoaoce WILL GET GAMBLING SHOPS Council Puts Enforcement of Laws up to the -r .J- t r ,' i. Police Commission After a very business-like and quite serene meeting of the council last night, and just as everybody was waiting for the motion to adjourn, a resolution was introduced by Coun cilman Bclland that came like a tiny bolt out of the blue. The resolution cts after the gam bling known to be going on among the Chinese and cigar stores; gets after the open saloon on Sundays, and, as the result of an amendment insisted upon by Councilman Curtis, geti after the three or live "blind pigs" that Mr. Curtis saya he knows of his own knowledge to be doing fbusioess in Uppertown. t -The Belland resolution calls upon the board of police commissioners to "instruct" the police department to enforce the. statute laws oi the State of Oregon, and the very apparent object of the whole resolution ia to put the whole matter "up to" the three members of the police commis sion. The resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote, and there was not dissenting voice raised in objection to it, though Councilman Karinen rather pooh-hooed it aa be ing a thing which would soon die away and be forgotten, as had been the experience of a similar agitation once before. The resolution first recited, that whereas the district attorney has giv en notice he will strictly enforce the gambling and Sunday closing law; but that the said enforcement of the laws has been rendered difficult ow ing "to the failure of the police de partment to co-operate with the dis trict attorney's office," therefore it was resolved that the city auditor be instructed to communicate with the board of police commissioners and state to the board that it is the desire of the common council that all sta tutes and laws relative to gambling, Sunday closing of saloons and to the sale of liquors in local option dis tricts be strictly enforced; and that the police commissioners "instruct" the members of the police force to make arrests in such cases. "It is well known," said Council man Belland, "that the members of the police force are willing to enforce the laws; some of them would go through fire and water in the course of their duty, but they have been told not to enforce these laws. What we want is to have the commissioners now tell them to make arrests." The matter could hardly have been put up to the police commissioners in a more forcible or a plainer way. As soon as the resolution was first read Councilman Curtis arose and The French ship Crillon, Captain Dalbarde, with wheat for Europe, came down the river yesterday, and will go outward as soon as the bar is at all placable. The schooner Virginia, lumber laden, from Knappton for San Fran cisco, went to sea yesterday morning on the lines of the bar tug Wallula. The oil tank steamship Atlas enter ed this port yesterday morning, and went on up the river after a brief stay here. The steamship Alliance was among the Sunday getaways from this port, going out on her usual run hence to Coos Bay points. The French bark Rochambeati, Captain Richard, is still in port, bound for Europe, and will leave out as soon as the bar is amenable. The British bark Torrisdale in due to arrive down today sometime. Notices to Mariners. Captain Parsons of' the American steamship "Alliance" reports that on January 28, 1909, in Lat. 43 SS min. N. Long. 124 18 min. W. he passed a mammoth tree standing upright in the water. John McXulty, N. E. C. R. Kluger, the Jeweler, 1060 Vir ginia avenue, Indianapolis, Ind. writes: "I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles Foley's Kid ney Remedy cleared my complexion, cured my backache ancl the irregu larities disappeared, and I can now attend to business every day, . and recommend Foley's Kidney Remedy to all sufferers, as it cured me after the doctors and other remedies had failed." T.'F. Laurin, Owl Drug Store. AFTER said he favored it, but he wanted it to apply to all alike mid he asked Mr. Belland in rather a caustic tone why it did not include the "blind pigs in Uppertown. "1 know they are there," went in Mr. Curtis, "be cause I got out the United States revenue license for three of them. If we are going into this thing let us see that all are united alike." Councilman Belland at once stated that the "blind pin" omission was an oversight on bis rurt and he asked that a clause be inserted including them, and this was done. Then, came the best part of the whole matter. Mayor Smith, with a smile which did not conceal his earn estness, asked, the president of the council to, take the chair while he spoke on the matter. But Mayor - Smith's address was quite short "I believe the Mayor hat the right to suspend police officers for not do ing their duty," be said. "I think I'd like of suspend tome of them if they don't make arrests in tome of these gambling cases. Everyone knows about the Chinese lotteries and we need the revenue. Let 'era be fined pretty stiffly once in a while." Behind the Mayor's ostensibly hu morous suggestion lies a policy so important and of such far-reaching consequences that it may be well worthy of study. The Mayor'a policy would seem to be that since tike the poor we are bound to have some Of the gamblers among us, let them pay for their rich privilege, especially since the city needs their aid in filling its de pleted exchequer. Of course this -is not compatible with the terms of the Belland resolu tion, which calls for the suppression of the gambling entirely but . it shows an understanding of the pres ence of the board -of police commis sioners, who are said to "order" the police not to make arrests of the gambling shops. Every member voted aye in a loud and clear voice when the Belland resolution was put to a vote. There fore the board of police commission ers will now be formally asked by NEW TO-DAY Plumbers.

Ordinance Rejected. The Curtis ordinance providing for the appointment by the Mayor of the various standing committees, and of the creation of a new judiciary com mittee, wa rejected on Its third reading. Objection was made that the ground was already coveted by the present ordinance, and some thought that the proposed judiciary committee was not necessary, The ordinance , had been prepared by Councilman. Curtis, and the city at torney took occasion to state that a present ordinance requires that all proposed ordinances and resolutions be prepared by him which was a very gentle hint that in .the future Mr. Abcrcrombia would like to draw all ordinances as it is provided he should. Adair Drain. . While the" council pased upon much important business perhaps the most important city matter was that of the Adair drain. For years this has demanded attention, It was voted to investigate and prepare resolu tions for the construction of a gen eral drainage system there. This highly important step has finally been taken.. It is planned to improve certain streets, making an assessment district therefor, and to make a dif ferent district lor the drainage sys tem itself. The matter it not yet in definite shape, though the eommlttee recommended that Improvement be made on 37th itreet, Irving to Hani sod; and on Harrison, 37th to 36th; and on 36th between Irving and Franklin. Other Business. It was decided to improve 18th street, where it leads to the Scow Bay Iron Works, aa petitioned for by James L. Lovell. Invitation was also received from the Alaska-Yukon fair committee to attend the fair, and to have an "As toria Day" on Saturday, July 17. This invitation was accepted and Mayor Smith was instructed to ap point a committee to work up the Astoria day p'nn. As such commit tee Messrs. Curtis, Fox and Prael were appointed. 'Also it was voted to construct a temporary wooden slip joint drain on 35th street, a distance of about 500 feet. There is imperative necessity for this to be done at once. The water is very bad there now, The question of the grades in the vicinity of Irving and Seventh came up for earnest consideration. Attor ney Frank Spittle- and. other were present on this matter, but it was de cided to have all the interested prop erty ownera appear before the com mittee on streets for discussion of the problem.
