Owens-Adalr, of this county: "My bill has pasted, with a large majority. I am off for Olympia." This certifies that her sterilisation measure has received the sanction of the Oregon Legislature and become a law of the State; and that the doctor is going to the Sound country to work for its introduction and passage, with the Evergreen lawmakers, Causing Comment The lame and dclapidatcd awning' on the north ide of Commercial trect jut west of Twelfth, and al most opposite the Merwyn Hotel, which i held in place by a long pole at one corner, while its sagging edgr wave and weave at several angles along its upper front, is causing com ment not at all flattering to its own er, the superintendent of streets, nor to the city.' Yesterday several drum mers were quietly joshing about it and some of their remarks did not set any too well with the Astorians who heard them. It ha been in that shape since the "snow flew" and ought to be fixed- About Half Through According to the figures supplied thi office through the courtesy of Weather Observer Lamar of this station, Astoria is about half throtiRh with her rains for the year. Mr. Lamar report that the fall to date, has been as follows: December, 10: 73 inches; January, 11.72 inches; and up to yesterday, in February, 12.33 Inches. This, plui 12.1 inches of snowfall, in the period named, gives a total for the season, 35.78 inches, and just about half the alleged annual rainfall of Astoria. The year 1907 showed a fall of 73.91 Inches, and this may be taken as a standard to guage that which ii to come.

Off For Newberg The memberi of the Astoria High School debating team, consisting of Mary Kelly, Alex Sigurdson and Lawrence Dineen, will leave on this evening'! train for Newberg, the Quaker town In the Willamette Val ley, to meet the team of the High School there In debate tomorrow night. The subject of debate is that "The school fund should be appor tioned In accordance with the num ber of teachers employed"; that may not be the exact wording of the sub ject matter, but expresses the Idea. At prenent the laws provide that the county and state school funds shall be apportioned in accordance with the population as shown by the cen sus. The Astoria debaters have the negative side. The subject seems a very odd one for school children to discuss. The local debaters think they will easily have the better of the debate as far as argument goes, and they will lay great stress on the very apparent objection that if the funds wrre apportioned according to the number of teachers employed. It might pay to employ more teachers than are needed to get hold of tax moneys. A. L- Clark, the superin tendent, and Mrs. Clark, will accom pany the debaters. PERSONAL MENTION Mrs. C. W.

If the resolution bad emanated from any other member of the council I pre- ume it would be taken to mean what it imuplies. Permit me to say, that the resolution was introduced with hones motives and the best Inten tions, with a determination on the part of myself and the Common Council to insist that Its provisions be strictly enforced. While I have been the attorney for many saloon men in Astoria and have often been successful with their cases, it docs not signify that I am in duty bound to uphold every infrac tion of the law by the saloon men. It is true, I have been their friend, when employed, but not to the extent of condoning any overt acts committed by them. The object of the resolu tion was for the benefit of the men engaged in the saloon business, to the end, that ceaseless agitation over selling liquors contrary to law might be obviated and the gentlemen en gaged in the business brought to a realizing sense of their obligations to observe all the laws of the State and ordinances of the city. The saloon business, to a certain extent, can be made as honorable as any other busi ness, and it is up to the saloon men to see that it is. The trouble is, that heretofore sa loon men have been granted too many privileges and concessions, ow ing to a lax enforcement of the laws. In no other city on the coast is the license as low as in Astoria. Up to a short time ago, the city was "wide open." The saloon men were grant ed certain concessions not warranted by the laws' or ordinances, until they believed they were immune. If the saloon men of Astoria will strictly observe the laws and ordinances there will never be any danger of any local option election. All law-abiding citizens desire is, that the saloon men observe the laws. This they are in duty bound to do without the pass age of any resolutions or ordinances by the common council. If, however, the saloon men rcfusa to close their places of business on Sunday, and if gambling is permitted to be carried on, it is up to the com mon council to enact necessary legis lation to prohibit it. I believe every member of the police force will carry out the instructions of the common council. It is not the desire to take away any of the powers of the police commission, which is composed of honorable gentlemen, but there is a general desire on the part of a large majority of the citizens that the laws be enforced. If the police officers re fuse to carry out the expessed will of the common council, then, either the police officers or the saloon men must suffer. , If the saloon men refuse to obey' the laws, then it is within the prov ince of the common council to in crease the liquor license from $W0 per year to $800 per year or more, and this will be the inevitable result. It is not the desire of any member of the council to impose unjust restric tions upon the sale of intoxicating liquors, but as they are the represen tative governing body of the people, it is their duty to see that the laws Fine Bill At The Grand. Manager Shortley, of the Grand moving picture house in this city, is a careful purveyor to the tastes and culture of Astorians. His bills always have a charm and interest, and the one that prevails there today and to morrow, is probably the best he has presented yet. It includes the fine athletic film "King of the Ring," to which he especially invites the atten tion of the A. A. A. A. members; the strong and beautiful colored drama tic bit of history that tells the story of "Charlotte Coray," the French heroine of Paris, who killed Marat in his bathtub;, and the "Adventures of a Bag of Coal," a happy farcical rep resentation that is as interesting as it is laughable. The songs for this period include, "Could You Learn to Love a Little. Girl Like Me?" and "Cheer Up, Cherries, Will Soon Be Ripe." The whole winding up with a splendid set of brilliant views from scenic Norway. and ordinances arc enforced and this they propose to do, If the saloon men refuse t comply with the resolu tion passed by the council at its .last meeting, then an ordinance will be introduced making it misdemeanor to keep a saloon open on Sunday, with a fine and forfeiture of the li cense Included. If this will not avail, then an ordinance will be introduced and probably passed Increasing the liquor license to $800 per annum. There Is no reason why the saloon men should not comply with the laws. They should do so voluntarily and without any compulsion. The resolu tion adopted by the common council is no Joke. It will prove a stern reality if its conditions are not com plied with. I am not seeking to ac quire any notoriety, but simply to con form to the wishes of a majority of the citizens of Astoria who favor law and order, and in so doing I am not voicing my personal opinion in the matter, but simply to do my duty ai a "City Father" sworn to see that all laws and ordinances are strictly enforced- The better class of saloon are fn favor of Sunday closing, and the others must conform to the spirit and letter of the resolution. , C.

In circuit court yesterday Anton Kuljis of Clifton pleaded guilty to a charge of selling liquor without a license and was fined in the sum of $300. There is still another indict ment against Kuljis for a similar of fense, and this will be left to stand in abeyance. D. Falangos of Clifton is also charged with similar offenses and his trial will be brought up at the end of the week, it is expected. It is said by some that liquor has been sold at Clifton in an illicit man ner for the past 30 years, and that the present cases are merely an outward expression of some inner workings up there; yet if a few fines of $300 be imposed perhaps even the "blind pigs" of Clifton will become good. Attorney Curtis, who is acting for William Nyberg, of this city, charg ed with a similar offence, entered a demurrer to the complaint, and while it was overruled, it brought up an in teresting point. The demurrer averred that inas much as the people of this city had adopted an amendment to their char ter which provided for the control of the liquor business, that therefore the State laws no longer had any force and effect'. Of course since the adoption of the initiative the whole matter is in such a jumble that it is Wliffkult to state where the sovereign power of the State lies, or if there ts still any sovereign power of the State, and Mr. Curtis' demurrer im plied that the city of Astoria had the right to nullify the-criminal laws of the State wherein they referred to the liquor business. Judge McBride held that inasmuch as the liquor laws are within the criminal jurisdiction of the State the Astoria amendment did not affect them, and therefore5, overruled the demurrer. The Nyberg case will come up for trial this morning. The grand jury was in session all day yesterday and it presented an in dictment against Henry E- Capello of this city, who was charged with having entered the Anchor saloon one night and robbed the till, secur ing $54. Capello pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one year and a half in the State penitentiary. There were many witnesses called before the grand jury yesterday though what the cass were is not known. It is probable that the grand jury has already taken up for con sideration the question of some of the "blind pigs" supposed to exist in the city.

SEASIDE IS INTERESTED IS Bill POSSIBLE LAW WOULD PER MIT IT TO ANNEX TERRITORY The bill introduced by Representa tive McCue allowing annexation of new territory to incorporated town! and cities has been adopted in the house, but, it is promised, will be fought in the Senate. It is under stood that Senator Scholfield will do battle for it in the Senate. This bill is of particular interest here because of the fact that it pre sumably was introduced at the behest of Seaside, and if it becomes law will unquestionably be brought into play in an effort to add the towns of Her mosa Park and West Seaside to the city of Seaside. The bill is a very shrewd move, and yet at the same time a- law of that nature would seem to be a necessary and beneficial one for the cities of the State that wish to add to their territory. , West Seaside is now virtually own ed by wealthy Portland men, who have invested much money there in building fine cottages and in improv ing the streets, and the like. Their charter forbids saloons, too," and ev ery effort has been made to make West Seaside a desirable place for residence. It lies just west of Sea side, and the latter town has been casting longing eyes at its little sister on the west, for the reason that it would like to have the taxable prop erty contained in West Seaside, and in Hermosa Park, within its confines. Seaside will have to expend much money for its water plant and it feels that West Seaside and Hermosa Park should "come in" and help pay the burden of the expense. This bill, which is likely to become law, , naturally provides that each town shall vote on the question of an nexation, and herein lies the "joker" of the .bill. The electors of Seaside naturally will vote in favor' of the annexation. But it so happens that most of the "voters" of West Sea side are Portland men, and they have taken upon themselves the right to vote in Seaside, though they reside in Portland ,and the mayor and council of West Seaside are actually in nearly every case Portland men- As de facto officers they perhaps can carry on the business of the little city by the sea, but when it comes to voting as on the question of annexation, for example it would appear in the highest degree doubtful that they could vote, or if they did cast their ballots, that any court would permit their ballots to be counted as such. This, then, would leave the half dozen or so of actual residents men who live there the year around as the voting population, and it is prob ably figured that Seaside could probably count on securing at least a majority of them to favor the plan. That is one side of the matter. Probably the Portland men could present a pretty strong moral argu ment why they should be left undis turbed, and there is likely to be a strong fight put up against the bill in the Senate. CAREER OF CORTRIGHT. NEW YORK, ' February 17. Ko better police officer ever wore the blue and brass than old Moses Cortright, who is to-day stepping out of command after a straight, clean and brave service to this city of forty-three years. Through the days of Dcvery and a dozen other varied terms of police rule and ruin this "grand old man" of the force has tow ered unassailable to all the powers of graft or vice. While many an honest officer with less steady pow- ers of resistance has been wrecked by the rulers of this turbulent depart ment, Cortright has alone gone his way on the straight and narrow path and suffered not a scratch. All New. York always went wild at the sight of this grizzled veteran heading the police parade, and many a year will go by before another such popular idol can be ofund.
