Probate Matter
In the matter of the estate of
Rose' Louise Nyquitt, Jennie, Lillie
and Julia Adolf, a petition was made
in probate- court yesterday by Annie
H. Taylor and Cut Adolf that a
guardian be appointed, and request
ing that J. M. Anderson be named.
The court appointed Mr. Anderson
as guardian and appointed Max
Young, John Fry and J. Dartoldu a
appraisers.
Favor The Nehalem Routt
It i learned at this office, on very
reliable authority, that when the
Lytic road into Tillamook opens up
for work, west of the Buxton tunnel,
the present point of cessation, that
the Salmonberry route will be aban
doned tor the easier grade of the
Nehalem route into Tillamook and
Aatnria. The matter Is still in abey
ance, but it i held that the prefer
ence of those in authority tend that
way, and that It is practically decided.
Favor The Plan
Acting in accordance with instruc
tion adopted at the last meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce, Manager
Whyte has ent out queries to var
ious commercial bodies in the state,
asking them their opinion of the ad
visability of starting the initiative to
change the state constitution so that
each county shall have one senator
and two representatives. In a letter
received yesterday from I. 11. Cope
land, secretary of the St. Helen's
Commercial Club. Mr. Copeland
stated. "We think it is a good meas
ure and should go through,"
For Tillamook
In Portland a petition is being
circulated to forward to Congress,
asking that body to make an appro
priation for the building of a jetty
at the entrance to Tillamook Hay. It
is estimated that $1,500,000 will be
needed for this purpose. With a
jetty established the petitioners re
cite that a channel 20 feet deep at
low water can be maintained. It is
pointed out that the bar shoals dur
ing every winter and a breakwater is
needed to keep the channel open to
shipping. The assertion is also made
that Tillamook County, having an
assessed valuation of $11,500,000, has
no other outlet.
Don't Lose The Chance
One of the well known critic of
this city in matters theatrical, who
recently witnessed the play of "The
Matchmaker" in Portland, at the
Haker, avers, that the Astorian who
fails to see Mr. Sully on Sunday
night, tomorrow, will be cheating
himself out of some very compensat
ing entertainment. He says the play
is simply delightful and the veteran
actors rote one of the best he has
ever undertaken; the play is full of
life and love and the finer sentiments,
and the players thoroughly en rap
port with the story and loyal to the
master-delineator who unfolds the
argument and portrays the essential
characteristics as but few living men
can.
Need An Ordinance
Some day some member of the
common council will arise and dis
tinguish himself by introducing an
ordinance requiring that storekeepers
be required -to keep their fruits and
vegetables at least 18 or 20 inches
from the sidewalks, though it may
seem strange that such bright and
progressive storekeepers as there are
in Astoria should not do this of their
own accord. Then when such an
ordinance is adopted, with stringent
penalties provided in cy of failure
to live up to it, some ponce officer,
who is seeking a chance to cover
himself with glory, could yank a de
linquent business man in court amid
the loud hosannas of nit the populace.

weakness. If he lives a few days

chance for him to pull through then,

about 25 years, of strong physique
and had been healthy, and these are
important factors in his favor now.
lie has a sister somewhere in the
Middle West, and his mother resides
in Sweden. He came here as a sailor
a tew months ago. As far as he is
concerned he probably know little
if anything of the matter anyway, for
he simply went into the crib beastly
drunk and come out with his head
smashed in with the ax, probably
never having even seen the man who
felled him. Davis, the man who
wielded the ax, is still in the city
jail, where he will be held pending
the outcome of the wounded man's
fight for life; if Peterson lives or die
he will be prosecuted. Davis has re
tained Attorney Curtis.

WRITES LETTER
AND WRITES IT IN HIS USUAL
DIRECT AND UNAMBIGUOUS
FASHION.
"Astoria, March 12, 1909.
"Editor Astorian;
"Being somewhat interested in the
movement for the benefit of the city,
financially and morally, the views of
a layman may be opportune at this
time. The Astorian ha been ac
cused, In certain quarters, of agitat
ing the question of more stringent
measure against the saloon, which
in my opinion meets with the ap
proval of a majority of the residents
of the city. Astoria is peculiarly
situated in that it ha s large floating
population, who contribute nothing
to the support of the city gov
ernment, but who rely upon the
theory that this is a free country,
where every man has a right to do as
he pleases. They do not take into
consideration the fact, that while this
is a free country, the freedom can
only be exercised so as not to con
flict with the right of other. All
are equal under the law, is one of
the underlying principles of this gov
ernment, and all persons are amen
able thereto. No person has a right
to violate any law of the city or
state, even though it be obnoxious in
certain particulars.
"There eems to be a determined
effort among certain people to make
Astoria s 'wide open town.' Whether
it be advocated by the liquor inter
ests or by an auxiliary organization,
it is evident the motive is the same.
These advocates of what is termed a
"more liberal policy" seem to ignore
the fact, that public sentiment in As
toria has changed within the past
two years, and it is not confined to
this city alone. It seems to be an
irresistable force, an underground
current that is sweeping over the
country, having for its object, the
betterment of mankind and needed
rcrstrictions against what they con
sider a growing evil, the liquor
traffic.
"Personally, I am not opposed to
the liquor traffic when it is conducted
under the strict construction of the
law. I am in favor of such restric
tive measures as will give the li
quor men all the rights and privileges
they are entitled to under the law,
but insist they should obey every law
and ordinance, believing it will pro
tect them in a. legitimate business
and result in ousting the undesirable
element. There are a number of sa
loons in Astoria trying to live up to
the letter and spirit of the law, but
overt acts on the part of the more
radical tend to cast reproach upon
the better class with the result that
the better element of the community
place them all in the same class. If
the officers enjoined with enforce
ment of the law will perform their
duty, there will be no' necessity for
local option, but a continuous viola
tion of the law, tends to inflame the
mind of the public against the traffic
and ultimately will result in prohibi
tion.
"The better class of saloon men
have it in their power to overcome
this widespread dissatisfaction exist
ing against the liquor element. The
reactonaries should conform and ad
here to a rigid enforcement of the
law and when all do this, there will
be less agnation and the conservative
element of the community, of which
am one, will not vote to impose
any drastic measures upon law
abiding citizens, no matter what
avocation they may be engaged in. A
large majority of the citizens are in
favor of a strict compliance with the
laws, and though it may work a hard
ship on a certain element, public
opinion will insist that their views be
complied with. I am not a 'reformer'
as has been intimated, but represent
ing the entire people of the city of
Astoria, having taken an oath to see
that all laws are enforced, my object
is not to antagonize the liquor ele
ment, but to carry out the wishes of
the majority of the people, whose
servant I am, and use my best en
deavors to see that all laws are en
forced. No honest man, no matter
what business he is engaged in, can
conscientiously oppose this. I be
lieve everyone should be given equal
privileges, consistent with the right
of the majority to rule.
."Whatever may be the motive of
the 'Knockers' Club' recently organ
ized, whether for the betterment of
the city, or to create, public senti
ment for an open town, I desire to
say, that my voice or vote will never
be registered in favor of an open
town as long as I am a member of
the Common Council, and I believe I

REGATTA COMMITTEE DE
CIDES TO HOLD ONE ON
APRIL 29-30.
At a meeting of members o'f the
Regatta committee in the Chamber
of Commerce last evening it was
decided to hold a carnival this
spring to be called the Fish Festival.
The dates were set on April 29 and
30. Friday, the 30th, will be known
as "fish day."
The committee agreed that such a
festival would do much to wake
things up at the opening of sum
mer, and would doubtless attract
many visitors here for the two days,
and unless some unforeseen ob
stacles arise to prevent the Festival
will be held. The details of the car
nival are to be worked out later.
On Monday a soliciting commit
tee will go out among the business
men with the purpose in view of se
curing funds for the project; it is
not desired that much be raised and
no trouble is anticipated in getting
HERMAN
voice the sentiment of a large ma
jority ov that body. I have been
accused of being allied with the li
quor interests.. This is to a certain
extent true, but not to the extent of
over-riding the laws and ordinances
of the city. I do not propose to do
any injustice to any saloonkeeper or
those engaged in the liquor traffic,
but I shall certainly insist, that they
co-operate with me in the enforce
ment of laws and police regulations,
believing it will result in a cessation
of the present agitation and redound
to the benefit of all parties interested
in making Astoria what nature has
destined it should be, and in the up
lifting of mankind. I have been
criticized in certain quarters for in
troducing an ordinance requiring sa
loons to close on Sunday. In this I
am working for the benefit of the
saloon clement and the city at large.
It should not be necessary for any
one to propose an ordinance of this
kind, the duty devolves upon inter
ested parties to observe the state
law, and when they do this, I do not
believe the Common Council will in
terfere. What is desired is, a bet
terment of the moral conditions of
the city, and while it may never be
successful, an improvement can be
made which will meet with the ap
proval of a large majority of the
citizens and to this end I propose to
lend my efforts and influence.
"C J. CURTIS."

AMUSEMENTS
DANIEL SULLY.
Daniel Sully, "the natural actor,"
has at last secured a worthy succes
sor to his famous play, "The Parish
Priest" In "The Matchmaker,"
written for him by Jerrold Shepard,
Mr. Sully appears as Father Daly,
pastor of a struggling little church
in Boom City, Idaho. The plot is
more strongly dramatic than in any
of his previous plays, and the types
of rough and ready frontier char
acter affords a striking contrast to
the kindly, humorous, and at times
pathetic figure of the priest. Mr.
Sully and his company in "The
Matchmaker" will appear at the As
toria Theatre Sunday evening.
