ORDINANCE NUMBER 531-
Tho Great Strike.
C. H. COOPER, GEKERAL MERCHANDISE.
ASTORIA, OREGON:
THURSDAY JULY 2, 1883
Tho business office
toman closes at 11 :57 i
of
. M.
Thk As-
The State arrived in yesterday
morning; the Oregon sails to-day.
Tho A. B. Field leaves the Main
street wharf at six o'clock this morn
ing, bound for Tillamook.
Still hot, and dry, aud dusty;
fires on every side; fortunately the
vigilance of our citizens has prevented
any fire breaking out in the city.
By yesterday's steamer we re
ceived New York papers of the 17th
iust. Such celerity of transportation
almost compensates for lack of tele
graphic facilities.
"Our Boarding House," will be
produced b3r the Leonard Grover
Comedy company at Occidental Hall,
to-morrow evening, with the or
iginal cast which played it in San
Francisco.
Mike Quinn desires that his af
fectionate remembrance be given to
all his friends on the Columbia river.
Under date of Dublin, Ireland, July
3, he states that he and his banjo havo
arrived in Bafety, and thnt he is now
amusing his friends.
Mr. Leonard Grover, the distin
guished author, accompanies tho com
pany bearing his name, and personally
supervises tho production of his plays.
In this city, they will produce "Our
Boarding House," and "My Son-in-Law,"
two of the most successful
American comedies.
Two plaques in tho window of B.
F. Stevens & Co., attract considera
ble attention. One has a representa
tion of Young's river, with Saddle
mountain in silhouette against tho
southern sky. Tho other portrays
tho cape lighthouse. They aro the
work of the talented artist, Mrs.
Achey.
The Idaho arrived in last evening
with a largo party of excusionists from
Alaska. Capt. Carroll reports a splen
did trip, and everyone seemed thor
oughly delighted wiih the wonders of
that northern shore, its glaciers and
icebergs; sunrises and moonsets; land
scapes and waterscapes. The Idaho
brings 1G0 cases of salmon to M. J.
Kinney, and 300 tons coal for the
lighthouse department.
The whiskers of tho seal are well
known to be an article upon which
tho Chinese set a high value, but the
use made of them is not generally
understood. A Santa Barbara paper,
which notes tho sale of a lot at that
place, says the Chinese use the seal
whisker as a tooth-pick, and alse as an
ear-cleaner. A seal vhisker of aver
age length, about 10 or 12 inches, is
worth, just as it is taken from the
animal, front-15 to 25 cents. One
Chinaman is mentioned who, on this
occasion, was the purchaser of $100
worth of the whiskers.
We aro in receipt of a pressing
invitation to attend the Louisville,
Kentucky, Exposition, which begins
Aueu8fc 1st. and lasts 100 days. It is
with regret we decline. A prior ar
rangemcnt to meet President Arthur
in the Yellowstono Park interferes
sadly with other festivities which
must go unattended, and as we arc
also to make tho answering speech and
diBh up tho usual taffy on the occasion
of the N. P. It. R. last spike driving,
and are now sitting up nights compos
ing that address, it is of little use to
send anything but certified checks or
money orders till after, September
15th. Should any Astorian, however,
who contemplates journeying east
ward, care to see the show, the
ticket is transferable, and is at his
service.
Business Changes.
W. E. Dement & Co., have removed
their drug store to the Odd Fellows'
bnildincr. occunvinz that portion of
the lower story adjacent to L W.
Case's bank, and fronting on Squemo
qua street. A. G. Spexarth, who lost
nearlv evervthinc at the late fire, has
with commendable enterprise, re
opened with a fine stock, in the build
intr in Chenamus street, from which
W. E. Dement & Co., have iust
moved. Hoscoe Dixon will close his
eating house in tho Occidont block
to-night, and will reopen on the fir
of Aucrust. in his new establishment
on Squemoqua street, in Capt. Flavel'
building.
New Building3.
In the burned district the utmost
activity prevails. On the site of
Frank Fabre's old stand, Dr. Kinsey
is putting up a substantial structure
and next to it Mrs. Grant has the
foundation laid for a new building.
Farther down J. "W. Welch is putting
in the foundation for ' five stores
which will take up one hundred feat
along the lino of Water street. On
the opposite side of the street Aug,
Danielson and H. Jeldues are putting
up buildings, and Jas. Turk is build-1
ing on his lot. Next to him Chas.
Gratke, who bought a half lot for
2,500 last Thursday, is about to
build. The roadway is being put in
trim as rapidly as possible, and no
part of the city presents a busier
appearance than that portion which
was swept by name on the 2nd inst.
Passed Over the Mayor's Veto.
The city council met in regular
session last Tuesday night, a full
board present. A petition from
NYashington street property owners,
asking the council to establish the
grade of that street was referred to
street committee. From Vest-8th
street property owners asking that the
council order the improvement of
that street, was referred to street com
mitte. The proposition of Chas.
"Williamson & Co., to furnish council
with map of city, was referred to com
mittee on public propertj. Report of
street committee concerning petition
of D. K. Warren and others, in rela
tion to constructing sewer, was
adopted. Of snme committee on
petition of Columbia Water Co.,
recommending that petition be
granted, was adopted. Of fire com
mittee recommending tho purchase
of certain supplies for the Astoria
Fire department, was adopted. Of
same committee to whom was re
ferred an ordinance for the support of
the fire department recommending it
be passed, was adopted.
An ordinance levying certain taxes
for 1883, was read first and second
times and was passed under suspen
sion of tho rules. An ordinance pro
viding for the time and manner of
repairing Water street was passed in
like manner, as was also an ordinance
making appropriations out of the
Cedar street and Hemlock street
funds. An ordinance making allow
ance to the several fire companies was
reaU third time and passed.
An ordinance closing business
houses betwoen tho hours of 12
o'clock midnight, and five o'clock a.
n., having been returned by the may
or without hR approval, was placed
upon its final'pasage or rejection, and
passed, the voto beins: Aye, coun-
cilmen Case, Cooper. Hume, and
Trenchard; nays, councilmen Car
ruthers and Johns. The following
claims were ordered paid: Morey &
Co., 15.75; Gill & Clinton, 58; W.
B. Headington, $2,000. A resolution
as unanimously adopted authorizing
bids to be advertised for, for the con
struction of a sover on Court street.
On motion council adjourned.
The Mayor's Voto.
To THK HoXOltAULC, THE ClTY COUN
CIL or Tin: City of Astouia:
Gexti.kmkx: I hereby return or
dinance No. 531, entitled an ordi
nance requiring places of business to
close at midnight, withotit my ap
proval.
The ordinance, as it is, is not prac
ticable, and would only confuse the
officers who would enforce the same.
If approved by me it would only add
to the number of ordinances that havo
been passed in former times and are
now a dead letter on record, teaching
us that it not only requires tho good
intention of the council, but that they
also must take proper precaution in
the wording of a law of such import
ance.
We aro in favor of advancing and
bettering the moral condition of this
oommunity: to do this, wo not only
should show our good will and intent,
but we should also carefully :ind de
liberately consider whether an ordi
nance will stand a legal tost before a
court.
Tho ordinance m question will not
do this: it includes all houses of busi
ness, shops or places. The interpre
tation would be like this: The fire
man who starts a lire at -l a. ji. m a
machine-ahop or saw-mill is subject to
fine no less than the baker who bakes
his bread m tho morning before 5
o'clock: the druggist who administers
to the relief of a sick or dying person
at midnight has violated the law as
well as the keeper of a low dive who
makos his living by selling bad whisky
to the picltpocKet who naa rooueu a
drunken man in the street after mid
night.
This is not, and can not be tho in
tention of your honorable body,there
fore we should pass an ordinance al
lowing the necessary exceptions, at
the same time b3ing careful aud pre
ciso in the wording of tho same. Such
an ordinance I will sign most cheer
fully. John IIahx.

A Chicago dispatch says: A com
mitteo of striking operators visited the
meeting of the bricklayers last night
and were received with choers. The
committee says the bricklayers offered
to raise $1,000 for them on the spot,
but the offer was declined, as the men
were not yet in need of money.
The telegraph company at this point
is in great straits, owing to the fact
that many smaller places in the sur
rounding country, are coming up,
tliUB increasing the number of circuits.
The ease with which the company
seemed to dispose of business seems i
to have been largely due to the fact that
these small towns had no operators to
receive, so that their circuits were)
closed and counted out. All Associ-1
ated Press matter went promptly, ex
cept to Milwaukee and its territory,
but the delay thon: is chiefly due to a
lightning ttonn which prevailed all
night, rendering the wires useless.
The impression last night was that
the situation is rather more favorable
to the operators, the idea having got
out that the company was playing a
Tery heaT3' game of bluff. Whether
or not this is true remains to be seen.
The Inter-Ocean reporter made his
rounds yesterday, and began at the
Western Union headquarters. "You
may say that we are all right," re
marked the head officer; "we hare
103 operators at work, and they are
constantly increasing, and our in
crease is from eighteen to twenty-two
a day. Tho night force is sixty-five
for to-night." "Aro jou accepting all
applicants'
"Not by any means. Wo havo
refused at least twenty to-day rail
road men, who had no knowledge of
the business."
"Aro you able to handle all the
business?"
"So far we havo takon care of tho
business. Well, to be sure, it is not
so heavy as usual, as wo advertise that
e receive tolegrains subject to delay
However, business has been sent with
but little delay, except in the north
west, where the severe storm of this
morning broke and crossed the wires.
On the whole, we think we aro in
condition to receive congratulations,"
smilingly remarked the official.
In New York, Manager Young of
the Western Union office reports no
material clfanae in tho situation. Ho
says thore is a good force. Every
thing is all right for tho west. The
local branch of tho Telegraphers'
Brotherhood was in session to-day.
There was a largo attendanco of
operators. The striking employes
of tho Baltimore and Ohio in this
ity listened to manager Clarke of the
local office, at his request this after
noon. The members of the brother
hood report that he told them that if
they would return to duty ho would
trive them higher salaries than asked
for in their bill of grievances and let
them arrange their hours of labor
themselves, but tho operators referred
him to the executive committee,
which presented the bill of grievances
to the officers of the company at
Baltimore. The strikers report a
constant increase of membership oi
the brotherhood. The Central Labor
Union voted the telegraphers financial
aid to continue the strike.
At Boston the usual number of
operators havo manned the wires of
tho Western Union office and tho
business offered suffered no delay. At
a nieetin' of strikers the proposed
establishment of a co-opentive tele
graph company was discussed and
very favorably received. The capital
stock will be 20,000,000 in untrans
ferable shares of $5 each. Three-
nuarters of the entire capital stock
must be held by operators and mem
bora ol labor organizations. It was
stated at the meeting that bankers
and merchants had already agreed to
subscribe tho other $5,000,000 and
committee was appointed to arrange
the details of the scheme.
Tho Boston Tyiwgranhical Union
haa adopted resolutions of sympathy
with the striking telegraphers and
offered financial aid. The Central
Trades and Labor Union took similar
action.
The OregonUxn which has mail dates
to the 20th, reports that in Portland
those who left tho office in a body on
the forenoon of the 10th inst., and
the other two operators who also left
on Friday tho 20th, still remain out.
Several operators who havo come to
Portland from iuterior points, for the
purpose of working have also joined
the strikers. There is no indication
of a yield on the part of the strikers,
They declare that inasmuch as they
ceased working by tho order of the
Brotherhood, they will not resume
their places until ordered to do so by
the motherhood.
Hoiv to Make rtloii Handsome
You all agree, that a eood stylish
suit, well fitting, makes nil men look
better than their old ones, yet there is
class of men that can never dress well
they don't know the art thereof. M. D
Kant, our Boss Merchant Tailor, Halter
and Clothier, has undertaken a task to
fit all men, from the best Apollo shape
to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and
meets with excellent success, but the
crown oi ins euons are ins excellent as
sortment of lints; he certainly has the
nobbiest, finest and latest styles in the
city, and if you doubt it go and convince
yourself. His prices are at bed rock.
