REGARD TO A. 8 G. ALLEGATIONS OF DIRT AND FILTH AND DRUNKEN MEN ON THE CARS. SEVERE COMPLAINT IShy,1 In regard to peanut shells, we do not sell them on these trains; they are brought on the cars by passen ger. As you know this car arrives in Astoria about 2:45 p. m. and leaves at S, and about 4:30 the train is plac ed In front of the depot when pas senger can board the train, This give them an opportunity of commit ting the offenses the Majo mentions, which I very much regret. We are not in position at Astoria to keep the people from boarding our trains on 'account of having no fence between the tracks and the depot and were ws to lock the coachc and compel the 'passengers to remain in the depot, we would have considerable complaint. To accommodate all and different views of the patron of the companv we have conducted the business as at present, feeling that we were com plying with the wishes of the ma jority. Retarding the dust on the seat, I The'Astorian has secured from the office of the state railway commission copies of a correspondence between the commanding officer at fort Ste vens, Major Bartlctt, and John Mc Guire, superintendent of the road. Major Bartlett makes severe com plaint against the dirt and filth at times found in the cars between this city and Fort Stevens, and of the presence of drunken men.

Requeat I Granted At a meeting of the fire and water committee of the common council and Chief Engineer Foster to whom wa referred the application of the Union Oil Company to bll oil tanks and warehouse on the corner of Sec ond and. Astor streets, the matter wa gone over thoroughly and it appear ing that the tanks, warehouse and retaining wall was to' be of the late st and most approved type, strictly fire proof and an improvement on the old shacks which have disgraced that por tion of the city a number of years, tha committee decided to recommend the application favorable. The chief en gineer will prepare the plans an! specification and the company will enter into a contract to comply with them. TJhe improvements will co-,t about $20,000. Stand For Fruits Although the new ordinance regu lating the height of fruit and , vege table stand in front of stores is not in effect yet, and will not be until the expiration of a few more days, nevertheless several of the stores are taking cognizance of it and are pro curing higher platforms. , Two of the grocery stores have, already put their new stands in use. The ordinance also requires that all fruits, vegetables and other soft edible articles, whether Inside or outside of the stores, shall be kept at least 22 inches from th? sidewalks and floors, and of course the council' authority extends into the stores just as well as in front of them. . lack of cleanliness of the car, more particularly of sputum and large quantities of peanut shells on the floor. I have since then questioned the officers of the post as to their know lede of the condition of the cars from their personal bservation. The first said they were "Filthy." The; second said he has been in them only once or twice and that they were not clean then. The third officer uses the cars fre quently and said they are unsanitary from lack of cleanliness. The fourth has been here about two years, considerably longer than the rest, and uses the cars frequently; he state that the cars are "filthy, the seats "dirty and unfit for anyone with clean clothes to occupy"; that coming from Astoria in the evening on Saturdays and Sundays he always has to stand for lack' of enough seats to accommodate all passengers; that he has seen drunken men ruling as passengers without being put off the train The fifth officer states that, he al ways has to stand coming from As- statement. Again, we have baa con siderable trouble with people intoxi cated, and some of them have been soldiers, we have had to arrest in the past but the soldiers in the main are much better than citizen living ir. the vicinity. We will make every effort to see that the complaints made by the Major are improved to the best of our ability. In regard to the crowded condition of the. coaches. Saturday and Sunday we put on two coaches unless some thing unusual come up, we tni ample room for all. We will not per mit people to stand ap for want of room, as it i not our intention, un less something, es Detore staiea. comes up we know nothing about. Yours truly'. (Signed), J. McGUIRE.

Very respectfully, (Signed), GEO. T. BART LIS It, Major Coast Artillery Corps, Commanding. The Human Appetite. Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre liable, treacherous, exacting things n the world, the human appetite for the right thing to eat is, perhaps, the most unreasonable and imperious. There are those who humor it; oth ers who defy It; and all men are more or less inclined to treat it with cotv sideration. To find a place where these varying attitudes may be fos tered, at the least cost In each case and yet keep the appetite in proper and peaceful subjection, is always desirable information. One place that is conceded as perfectly adapted t this, is the Palace Restaurant, just opposite the Page building, on Com mcrcial street, in this city. Try ' once, and patronize it always; that ii the rule of the Palace. Chicatro. John I. Springer, contracting freight agent for the Great Northern, was n Fishermen Attention PORTLAND, May 1, 1909. Mr. Oswald West, Commission, Railroad Commission of Oregon. Salem, Oregon. Dear Sir :Y ours of 22nd with a copy of complaint from Major Bart- Wt. rnnimanduiB ofhcer at fort Stevens. I rearet very much that the Major found the conditions to warrant tin complaint. We know that our equip ment is not modem, but we eudeavor to keep them in good condition. His complaint in regard to sputum. cigar and cigarette stumps being on the floor, is correct, and at times it is worse than others. There is a clasi ,nntp livinor in the vicinity of Hammond, Seaside, and Warrenton that have very little regard for other peoule's comfort and convenience and have made it a point to give as much trouble as possible by being guilty of the offenses the Major complains of. In regard to dust, these cars are 1 cleaned each night at Seaside by a man employed for that purpose and on the arrival of the car at Astoria it We can supply your wants OUR PRICES ARE RIGHT Lecture On Browning j . The Rev. Henry Marcotte, pasto of one of the Presbyterian churches in Portland, and formerly pastor oft the Astoria Presbyterian church, gave an address on Robert Browning tin der the auspices of the Reading Club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E Higgins on Eighth street last night It is the custom of the ladies of tlu club to hold an open meeting periodi ally, and the session of last night was one of these occasions, for which Mr. Marcotte was invited to give an address. The ladies of the club in vited friends to the open meeting and some 40 of 50 were present, and the beautiful Higgins home proved an ad mirable place for the literary occa sion. The Rev. Mr. Marcotte of course is well remembered here and he was greeted by many friends. His address was an excellent one, deliver ed with an enthusiasm that was in sensibly imparted to the audience; he told rather humorously of the diffi culty many have in understanding tha poetical works of Browning, but 'of the great beauties and golden value of much that lies open or hidden in the poet's writing. The address took about an hour, and was listened to with much interest until the last word was said. Mrs. George Warren and Miss Bess Reed sang, and at the close of the literary hour Mr- James John son sang. Refreshments were served, also, and the guests went to their homes with the consciousness of au evening profitably and delightfully spent. .
