Astoria, July 22, 1890.
To (he honorable, (he members of Uic
common ceuncil:
As the passage of the ordinance in re
Iation to the manner of appointment of
engineers for the steam fire engines has
created some disturbance in the fire de
partment, I would advise amendments to
the same as follews:
First; that instead of the appointment
covering one year from a fixed date, that
it shall continno through good behavior
and efficienev-
Second; it woa'd be well to grant
further uiscretioaary powers to the fore
man in his relation to tho engineer.
1 desire to call your attention lo
another matter. Tho daily papara of
yesterday both contain an account of tho
arrest of Chinamen, by the chief of police
and a deputy sheriff, for gambling. There
is scarcely a week passes without notic
ing in me papers a similar announce
ment, but rarely, if ever, does it happen
that a member of any other race is ar
rested for this misdemeanor.
I would suggest to the committe on
health and police that there ho no dis
crimination made between the offenders
of the law. Violation of the law is not
less reprehensible when committed by
tho Caucasian than by tho Mongolian,
and tho pursuit and arrest of the former
is as much tho duty of these officers as
that of tho latter. Open violation of city
ordinances is practiced day and night in
our very midst, and it is the duty of your
committee to hold tho police department
to a strict and impartial accauuting for
this state of affairs.
Your attention is again called lo tho
matter of bonding the city. I have been
in communication with a number of
bankers, among whom has been Harris &
Co., of Chicago, III., and find tho best
proposition 3et presented is a premium
of three per cent., timo of dato optional.
As Harris & Go. are willing to meet this
proposition in consideration of the quasi
understanding had with them, I would
recommend an ordinance bo drawn clos
ing tho contract. I hold a telegram from
their agent, N. W. Halsey, saying he will
confirm tho sale at Tacoina to-morrow.
Mauxus C. Cnosmr, Mayor
On motion of Mr. Welch it was

The committee made a careful state
ment of the merits of the different
machines as to their respective ad
vantages and then recommended that
a third size engine be purchased of
Clapp & Jone3, Hudson, N. Y., for
$1,200.
Their report was adopted.
The committee on ways and means
recommended that section one of the
ordinance in reference to appropriating
$3,000 for paying incidental expenses
of the city for 1S90, be stricken out
The report was adopted.
The committee on street and ways
recommended that the putting iu of a
sewer on Polk street be deferred. 'The
report was adopted.
The committee on fire aud water in
reference to the Scow Bay Foundry
reported that the same wonld be made

referred to tho chief engineer to see

report was adopted.
An ordinance to make appropria
tions from the general and police fund

city with Clapp and Jones, of Hudson,
N. Y., for the purchase of a No. 3,

A good many iu Astoria will remem
ber Lieutenant Rhodes, of the Rev
enue Marine Service, who was
stationed here a few years ago.
In private life Rhodes was of modest
mien, and quiet tastes; but he had a
heart in him as big as an ox, and was
the peer of any man in braver-.
He died at Algiers, Louisiana, last
Wednesday, the 16th inst
Rhodes avas the officer who dis
played such daring and bravery at the
wreck of the steamship City of Co
lumbus on the Devil's bridge, a low,
dangerous reef at the western ex
tremity of Martha's Vineyard.
The vessel was from Boston for
Savannah and ran on the reef January
18, 18SL Of nearly 100 passengers,
only twenty-three were saved. Lieu
tenant Rhodes was one of the officers
on the revenue cutter Dexter, and as
there was a high sea running, the
vessel could not get alongside of the
wreck, but Lieutenant Rhodes went
to the wreck in one of the small boats,
and lashing a line around himself
plunged into the sea and swam to the
wreck to rescue two half-frozen pas
sengers who were in the rigging. He
had almost reached the stranded vessel
when he was terribly bruised by some
of the wreckage, and his companions
drew him back to the boat
Recovering his strength aud ignor
ing the pleadiugs of the others that he
should not again endanger his own
life he plunged in the second time,
rescued the two people from the rig
ging, and got them into his boat
After that he had a long siege of sick
ness, and his death was no doubt
hurried by these experiences.

FIVE SmTOEtSD FAIE9
Last evening at 5:45, a horse owned
by Capt J. H. D. Gray, who was
attached to a cart and standing in
front of the owner's office on Cass
street, took fright and dashed down
the street Crossing Second street he
headed straight for the river, but the
off wheel of the cart struck a pile of
lumber and the veliicle was turned
over on the near wheel. This checked
the animal's speed and he turned to
the right heading up the street
Tom Rawlins sprang forward aud
caught the horse 13 the bridle but was
thrown down. Without letting go the
bridle he jumped up instantly, and
bravely held on, stopping the animal
in front of the Occident hotel. The
cart was uninjured, but the horso was
hurt ou the back by the shaft, and the
plucky rescuer was slightly iujured in
the right knee.

All Same Itein? at Spa.
'This is a capital representation of
a life on the ocean wave," said a
visitor yesterday morning, "why,
really, I feel as though I was in the
cabin of a steamship in full headway."
It was a little that way. All the
presses were running at full speed;
tho engine was doing its' best, and the
noise sounded like tho thud of a pro
pellor; there was a gentle agitation of
the building, the breeze whistled in
the rigging, or, rather, tho windows,
the swash of the waves outside were
visible to the ear, and take it altogeth
er, it did look a little like a voyage.
But it is at three o'clock of a misty
morning that it most resembles a
vessel at sea. Then lights gleam from
the lower deck and the upper works;
men arc hurrying around in every di
rection; the elevator, is creaking with
the forms being lowered to the press
room; the engine is making so manv
revolutions per minute; the building
sways, the waves outside break and
splash under the street and against
the huge Odd Fellow's building oppo
site; the morning breeze, the herald
of the sun, sighs through and if one
closes His eyes no can easily imagine
the whole thing going and he moving
on a voyage
It is in one sense a voyage, tho daily
departure and arrival of The Daily
Astokiax, freighted with the news of
the world, consigned to the citizens of
Astoria, and every morning through
the years, in 'sun or storm it prompt
ly arrives and rounds proudly into
port with a full cargo and a merry
crew.
A good deal has been said, lately,
abouf the character" of the theatrical
entertainments that como here, and
complaint is made that the managers
of the theater do not meet the popular
demand in that direction; that a finer
class of shows, superior acting, etc,
would meet with success.
That is very doubtful.
The matter is purely one of-business,
and is not controlled by any
whim or notiou. The managers pay a
monthlv rent for the theater, and
can't afford to have it lie idle. A
really fine com pan y is alwavs a costly
one, and their coming hero is purely
a question ot whether we want to pay
them or not
In general this town is served better
iu the way of theatrical performances
than most cities of its size, by reason
of the fact that the greater part of the
tronpse arriviug and departing go by
this route and arrange Astoria dates.
But we can not expect lo get as
much or as good as Portland docs.
A short time ago a company played
nt the Marquam Grand in Portlaud;
played the "Senator." Some of us
saw it and pronounced it ,liine," and
right away wanted to know, as usual,
"why can't we have such a troupe
visit Astoria,' '
Just because we don't reach it,
financially. That compauy that
played "The Senator" costs $5,000 a
week. It is made up of A 1 talent;
the actors and actresses only play
threa nights in the week, aud get big
salaries. If avo wanted such a com
pany we'd have lo gnarantco them
$2,000 for a night; that's what their
business manager wrote. Who's go
ing to do it?
This is one reason why we don't
have entertainments of that class in
Astoria.
Another reason is that tho N. P. R.
R. doesn't recognize the existence of
Astoria. Troupes are booked in the
east ;is far west as Portland and tho
Sound drcnit, but not to here
That entiiils special transportation
rates from Portland here
Astorians are liberal patrons ot the
drama and always go to see any
thing and everything that comes
along, bnt we cannot expect to have
everything that comes to Portland,
because it costs too much to produce
it, to leave any possibility of profit.
and tho amusement world is a good
deal like the rest ot the business
world the members thereof are not
working solely for their health or be
cause they are enamored ot the
climate.
