Astoria, Junx 19, 1890. Editei: of DahiT Astobzak. Sir: Having been informed last Tuesday, only a few bonis before the regular meeting of the city council ton that evening, that an ordinance had been prepared, would le presented, and possibly adopted by the council that evening, authorizing the con struction of water works for the city. and pledging the city to pay $500 per monui ior imrry years, in exenange for a supply of water for the fire department and municipal purposes, and thinking the city could make much better terms with other par ties than named in the proposed ordinance, I hastily penned and took to the clerk of the council my petition and request that the city authorize me and my associates to construct and run thoroughly efficient water works for the city and people thereof, for iesa muu uie suosiay namea in ine proposed ordinance for other appli cants, and had been 'informed, for I could not find a copy of it and the clerk said he had not seen it. Now what I wish to say is simply this: That while I am ready to con struct the water works, as outlined in my petition and request, of first qual ity in all respects and of ample capa city ior tne next twenty or thirty years, upon the terms named in my request, nevertheless, I am heartily in favor of having tho city build and own and run its needed and necessary waterworks, and have so expressed myself more than a hundred times dnring the past ten years and more, I need not mention here the various and great benefits to be gained to all the people of the city by the city's ownership and management of its water works. Let us get authority from the next legislature to issue city bonds for one, two or more hundred thousand dol lars to pay for such works, as sug gested by The Astoriax. Have the legislature confirm tho appoinment of ten or fifteen of our substantial citi zens as a commission to construct and manage the water works, as has been done for Portland. In tho meantime let our city council by a committee of interested citizens hunt out and secure the sources of supply, devise and perfect a plan of construction, etc., so that as soon as the legislature grauts the authority, the construction can commence. In this manner the water will be ready for use by the time of tho next dry season, which will be as soon as any body proposes or expects to get a sup ply, in any manner or by any method. If I had time and you could give me space this communication might be elaborated to a several column article. But verb. sap. W. W. Pabkbr. She Got a Pointer. Two men were playing a game of euchre coming down on the Telephone, in the after cabin, and a little woman who had a seat near by watched the "play with great interest Finally, as a certain play was made she asked: "Did he take that trick with the king of hearts?" "Yes'm." "He took your queen with his king?" "Just so, ma'am." "But a queen is higher than a king." "Oh, no, ma'am, the queen ranks one below the king." "Is that so everywhere?" "Yes'm." "Can't bo no mistake?" "Not the slightest Don't you play?" "Not much. My husband set out to learn me, but I took all his kings with my queens, and he got mad and quar reled about it and, and " "And you don't play any more?"

"Birds in their little nests agree," so we are told. The statement is correct The aforesaid birds sometimes build their nests in singular places. A unique location for a bird's nest was seen by an Astosiak reporter yesfer nay afternoon. Two winged inhabi tants have built a nest in the electric light, at the intersection of Third and Olney streets, and are there rearing their callow brood. In the top ot an electric light is a funny place to raise young birds, but there they are. When tho wind blows the nest rocks, and when the light is lit the boss bird has a feast Every one knows that the electric light attracts large numbers of insects. The bird that thought of building a home there has a great head. He gets all the grub he and the mother bird and the little birdies want, without having to get out of bed, which is a big item these cold mornings. A DOCTOR'S REBDKX. Immensely SCore Miacklef tkaa !

This being a matter that Asto rians are vitally interested in, a good many of us are desirous of having new charts to be able to show an appre ciative world how we progress. In this connection the following is explanatery: United States Coast AKD GbODETIO SUBVEY. Washington, D. 0., June 7, 1890. 390.) Hon. John H. Mitchell, United States Senate: Deab Sib: Tour letter of June 3rd, 1890, to tho hydrographer of the navy, referred by him to this office, and en closing a letter of Mr. J. H. D. Gray, manager of the Astoria Beal Estate company, has been duly received. I regret exceedingly that I am unable to comply with your request by fur nishing these charts, simply because we have not the means to print them. The work, so far as the operations of this bureau are concerned, with the single exception of the printing of the charts, is all done and up to date, and tneysuonia nave been issued many months ago, but the appropriations for printing them are not sufficient, and even so important a chart as the entrance sheet of the Columbia river remains unpublished for the want of a few hundred dollars to pay for the ex pense of printing the same. It is a great pity that important public inter ests must suffer to save so small an expenditure, but I can only join with you in expressing my regrets that such is the case. Yours respectfully, T. C. MEKDEXHAIit, aupenntenaeni United States Coast ahd Geo 1 detic Survey. WASHxsaTOK.D. C., June 11, 1890, Hon. John H. Mitchell, United States Senate. Deab Sib: To my letter to you dated June 7th, in the matter of the entrance sheet to the Columbia river, I beg to add that every effort will be made to publish that chart just as soon as the appropriation for the next fiscal year becomes available. I en deavored to secure funds necessary to supply this urgent demand, along with others, by introducing the item into the "Most urgent deficiency bill" wmen passea congress several months ago, but the amount which I estimated for was only apDronriated in Dart, and I could, therefore, only partially exe cute the work which I had contem plated. I believe that we will now be able to deliver this chart into the hands of our agents in Astoria, Ore gon, by about August 1st and I would be pleased to have you inform your correspondent Mr. J. H. D. Gray. manager of the Astoria Beal Estate company of that fact Yours Respectfully, T. C. MendsxhaiiIj, Supt The appropriations for the ensuinc fiscal year will be available after July isr., ana as stated, we can after Aug ust 1st, have the latest official chart, showing that vessels of deepest draught can safely enter and depart Uncle Sam needs a little stirring np occasionally.
