First OCEAN, BAR, BAY, DOCK AND RIVER MAYOR VETOES CURTIS SAM (MICE ANOTHER SURPRISING QUES TION IN STATE LAW IS SUGGESTED. Through the courtesy of a friend ' vrho is in touch with such matters the Morning Astorian is able to present the following interesting data in re gard to the new United States Engi neers' dredge "Clatsop," built by the Newport News Shipbuilding Com pany, at Newport News Virgin,!, last rear, and now en route to the mouth f the Columbia, and due in here early n the coming month. The vessel is of steel; length be .ween perpendiculars, 168 feet; length over all 180 feet; moulded beam, 38 feet; moulded depth, 23 feet Her propelling engines consist of one vertical, inverted, direct-acting, open-frame, surface-condensing, fore and aft, compound engine, with cylin ders 20 inches and 44 inches diameter, and common stroke of 30 inches, driv ing a fourbladed cast steel propeller, 10 feet in diameter and 12 feet pitch- Her pumping engines consist of two pumping engines directly connec tioutd to 18-inch sand pumps; en gines to be vertical, inverted, com pound condensing, with cylinders 12 inches and 26 inches, stroke 18 inches. She has two boilers. Scotch return tubular type, 13 feet in diam eter, and 12 feet long, with three 40 inch corrugated furnaces each. 1 Her electric light plant is operated jy two engines and generators, of 10 rilowat capacity; and the working ca pacity of the dredge is 1000 cubic yards per load, or 1500 tons. her deckload. her mainmast, one boat. and some of her rigging, tnd suffered a general breaking up of her upper works. The dispatch did not give any inkling of the direct cause of the accident, though it is conceded that she met a tremendous sea and then some. She was headed back and is now berthed at South Bend. Mr. Cherry at once telegraphed to his sub-agent at South Bend for specific details, upon the presumption that Lloyds is carrying the insurance npon her, but np to the close of business had received no response to his in quiries. The Shoshone is well known in this port and has carried pretty regularly between, here and the Bay City in the lumber interests. The nor-wester was a bit too strong for the Argo which arrived down yes terday morning and she came back to the Callender and berthed for the day. She will leave out this morn ing. She is under command of Cap tain R- J. Dunham, of the Roanoke; with Charles Johnson as first officer, and A. Dunham in charge of the en gines. A pretty strong roster for her class of craft She will get away early this morning. The steamer Rainier crossed in yes terday afternoon, from the Bay City, with a general cargo on board; she discharged 60 tons of local stuff at the Callender before leaving no stream. Her master reported a stiff Invitations are out in this city at nor'wester prevailing all the way up the friendly instance of the Willam- the coast, and the Columbia bar ette Iron Works, of Portland, invit- breaking heavily when he came in. ing the recipients to take part in the , builders' trial trip of the new and beautiful Sound steamer, the H. B. Kennedy, which takes place there this afternoon; the steamer leaving the works at 1:30 o'clock p. m., and re turning at 5:30 o'clock. The Kennedy was built at a contract cost of $200, 000 and is one of the very finest of the products of the plant named. She has no state-rooms at all, all her ac commodations being in the line of chairs, sofas, lounges, etc.. and she is to be licensed for 1000 passengers, and will serve on the navy yard route j ind out of Seattle during the Alaska-! Jfukon Fair. She has a guaranteed 1 speed of 20 miles an hour and any xcess she developes will surprise no i ne who has had the pleasure of in- specting her. It is expected that the ! Kennedy will be down here on Sun- j day next, eri route to Ptiget Sound, ' and may lay here that night and go to sea on Monday morning, thus giv ing Astorians a chance to see her in all her glory. It is said that her , horsepower slightly exceeds 2000. j Word was received at the office of . E-' M.

The steamer Bowdoin arrived down the river yesterday forenoon, and went to the lower harbor with a view of slipping out at the first available moment, with her big load of lumber. The steamer Lurline came down on good time yesterday evening, and on her departure up stream, had on her passenger list, the following people of this city: F. W. Harriman, Mrs. C. McGowan and M. R. Brown. The oil tank steamship W. S Por ter arrived down yesterday morning and went to sea, bound for the coast of California, at high noon. A Religious Author's Statement Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salis bury, N. C, who is the author of several books, writes: "For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was sud denly stricken with a severe pain in my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days, unable to get up without assistance. My urine contained a thick sediment and I passed same fre quently day and night. I commenc ed taking Foley's Kidney Remedy, and the pain gradually abated and over the Willapa Harbor bar, she lost Foley's Kidney Remedy." r n, Owl Drug Store.

J,C0 Men's Belts 30fi up Don't pass up the belts As has been intimated in the As torian, Mayor Smith yesterday vetoed the Curtis ordinance provided for the closing of saloons on Sunday, and providing for the forfeiture of licenses Upon second conviction. There seems to be little doubt that the ordinance was of a character that "a coach and six could be driven through," and the Mayor calls attention to the apparent or presumed errors that are in it lie also intimates that since the council meets twice a month it will be no trouble to now adopt an ordinance covering the ground which will be safe and comprehensive. Under the very wide police powers which every municipality has it will be very easy thing to adopt a comprehensive and safe ordinance, and the errors of the first measure are easily avoided. Mayor Smith's reasons for the veto are given in full below. While looking into the question of the state law about Sunday closing, Mayor Smith and Attorney Curtis have perhaps discovered a matter of much interestthough it is one of those matters which are "important if true." It seems there is some 'question about the validity of the state law in relation to Sunday closing. It is stat ed that many years ago, almost half a century ago, tnere was some over-1 sight in re-codifying the laws, and that while the section pertaining to Sunday closing, etc, was included in the codes and has been retained in the codes ever since as a valid law- yet as a matter of fact was invalidated by some error or oversight If Mr. Curtis and Mr. Smith have discovered some such a defect it doubtless will prove of much interest, but there is no question that the improbability of the matter appears strong. But. if true, it would mean that there is no law on the statute books prohibiting Sunday saloons, and it would mean that the numerous saloonkeepers who pleaded guilty at the last session of the circuit need not have done so. If there is such a defect, it will not be until the next session of the legis lature that the matter can be rem edied. Still at best, or worst, the mat ter is not of much importance. Each municipality can adopt ordi nances covering the suoject entirely irrespective of the state laws, as long as not in direct conflict with them, and the local ordinances are usually the better and more workable pro viding there is a police commission that will demand the enforcement of law. Mr. Curtis is going to Salem to make a study of the question. If there is no such a valid state law it will, of course, be all the more reason why the council should at once adopt a clear and operative ordinance cov ering the matter. Of course there is she chance the council may pass the present ordinance over the veto, but this is deemed highly improbable, be- NEW TO-DAY cause of its .manifest defects. Probab ly, convictions jould never be obtain ed inulcr It in tourt. Mayor Smith's veto message it follows: Gentlemen: ) I herewith return (in ordinance passiil nt the last session of the council ;ui entitled, "An ordin ance prohibiting the sale or disposal of intoxicating liquor on the first day vf the week, coamionly called Sunday, and -providing nnishmcnt therefor," without niy approval for the reason that the prospoecd ordinance is not a explicit and free from ambiguity as penal ordinances upon such an im portant subject should be and the same does not contain the exceptions or limitations that in my opinion should be made in such an ordinance. The proposed ordinance first provides that, "no person shall keep open any hoVise or room in which intoxicating liquors are kept for sale, on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday," but contains no qualifica tions or exception, whatever, while the state statute on the subject makes an exception in favor of "innkeepers' And I am of the opinion that it was the intention of the framers of the or dinance to simply provide for punish ing the keeping open of a barroom or drinking shop or place where liquors are kept for sale on Sunday and if the same happened to be located in a house containing other rooms such as a hotel or rooming house it would not be a violation of the ordinance to keep the hotel or rooming house open provided the barroom be kept closAI; but the language used does not war rant such an interpretation. The ordinance also makes it unlaw ful for any person to give, sell or dis pose of intoxicating liquors on Sun day regardless of the place or purpose H without even providing for the usual exception in favor of physicians' pre scriptions for medical purposes. 1 Finally the ordinance provides that a sate on Sunday shall be deemed a nuisance and that any person who shall give, sell or otherwise dispose of intoxicating liquors on that day shall be deemed guilty of maintaining a nuisance and "that upon a second conviction of the provisions of this ordinance the license to such house, room or saloon shall be forfeited." t do not believe that the council has legal authority to make the offense defined a nuisance under the circum stances, but in case it has the author ity to do so, then under subdivision five of section 38 of the charter as amended by the people on Pecember 12, 1906, the license must be forfeited for the first offense. Knowing that many are often prone to misjudge the personal mo tives of an official in a case of this character on account of the agitation in the public mind, I have been very reluctant in vetoing the above ordin ance, but if yon will take into con sideration that the council meets twice each month and that there is already a state statute upon the sub ject, I trust that you will agree with me that it is much better to exercise care in framing an ordinance free from doubt and ambiguity than to heartily place upon our ordinance books one that each official will inter pret differently according to his in clination.
