TAJLK WITH A.. P. MIA11VSTUIX.
H. B. Thielson and A. P. Sharp-
stein of the Electric Motor company,
left for Portland on the steamer
Thompson last evening. To-day a
company will be organized in that
city to carry out the proposed enter
prise and it is thought that work will
be Commenced next week. The com
pany will incorporate with a capital of
$125,000 or $150,000, and tho principal
shareholders will bo J. M. Mooro of
Seattle, J. H. McGreerof Tacoma, C.E.
Belding of Fairhaven, A. P. Sharp
stem, John Fox and Walter Robb of
this city. The survey of tho pro
posed lino has been completed and
everything is in readiness to com
mence the work of grading.
Up to tho hour of his departure Mr.
Sharpstein was sanguine that on Mon
day he "would return and let contracts
for the construction of the electric
cable railway. Just before leaving,
however, word was brought him that
one of the subscribers to the subsidy,
who had promised $2,500, had gone
back.
When asked iu regard to construc
tion, he stated in substance that in
consequence of the refusal of a sub
scriber at the last moment to sign a
subsidy of $2,500, which had been
promised the affairs of the road were
in a very unsettled condition, and it
might go, or it might be abandoned
altogether. A few days will tell.

Painful Accident to a Boy on the Lewis

and die little fellow heroically broke
off the branch and ran to his mother.
In trying to remove it a piece of tho
brush half an inch in length was left

Ascheniois on foot to make the
luxury of a Sunday shavo a thing of
tho past. It originated with L. E.
Gillot and L A. Lucas, local" tonsorial
artists, and tho state legislature will
be asked to assist in bringing about tho
desired end by passing a law, making it
an offense for barber shops to open for
business on Sundays. The gentlemen
have .had printed a petition to the
legislature with the idea of having a
law enacted, and will circulate the
same in this city, Portland, East Port
land and Albina, Mr. Gillet leaving on
Sunday night for that purpose. The
petition, which it is expected all tho
barbers in tho cities named will sign,
reads as follews:
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives vf tht State of Oregen:
W, the undenigued, being engaged in
tho business of barbering in the state rf

Under the above heading the Ore
gonian of yesterday has tho following,
which while it gives no news here is
suggestive of friendly, feeling, and is

ewnraaied here, tho contract having

THE ASTORIA SEA ALL.
Practical Suggestions as to How It
Hay lie Constrnetei,
IT WOVLD JtE EASILY PAID JTOB.
The vital importance of the sea
wall project should not bo forgotten.
Tho session of tho legislature is ap
proaching. The authority to issue
50-year sea wall bonds, bearing net
over 6 per cent interest, should be
vested in the city council or, better,
a sea wall commission under judic
ious regulators. Some few persons
affect to think that the interest on tho
bonds would be too heavy a burden
of taxation upon tho city, and that
really the owners of tho water front
should boar tho cost of the sea walL
But this is so apparently unjust that
it merits but little consideration. The
sea wall would be of but little if any
extra value to tho owners of the water
front as a specific proposition. They
can do business just as well now rs
then. Tho only advantage to them is
ono common to the whole city. It
will hasten the growth and prosperity
of the city and will protect the chan
nel of our lordly river for tho common
benefit So far as thesea wall is con
cerned no one who thinks a moment
would insist that it would benefit ono
sort of property owner in greater pro
portion than another. It is only the
owners of the bay who would gain a
special benefit by filling up their lots
with solid earth. For this, of couse,
each owner would pay in proportion
to his benefits. But the sea wall is
for the common weaL The interest
on the bonds would riot be great.
Some estimate the cost of 5.000 feet
of sea wall, from Lafayette street to
the rocky -pom tat tne uiatsop mius,
at S100.000, or S20 per front foot.
Others nuse that figure some. Say it
will cost 8200,000. This, at 5 per
cent on the bonds, would
make 510,000 per annum. A yearly
wharf tax of S50 for every twenty-five
feet of frontage would pay the entire
interest If this provision were made
in the act providing for the bonds and
devoting it to that Bpecial purposo,
this great desideratum would bo ac
complished. But it would hardly bo
fair to mako tho front owners pay nil
this interest It Should bo shared by
a general tax, and only thoso front
owners who had wharves should bo re
quired to pay it Our real estate in
this city is now assessed at over S6,
000,000. If tho whole peninsula was
added, it would bo 10,000,000, making
a one-mill tax, a moro bagatelle. Soon,
under tho benign influence of this
great improvement, our assessable
property would bo $30,000,000, or onc-third-ot-n-mill
tax by general city tax
ation, and if halt was raised by wharf
inger licenses, it would bo tho infin
itesimal tax of one-sixth of a mill. Is
there a croaker in this city so stupid
and mean that he would raise an ob
jection to such an enterprise on tho
score of increased taxation? Or is
there a politician so infirm of purposo
and so timid about his future that ho
will haltonthis great road of progress?
The people of Astoria demand men of
purpose, judgment and resolution.
That old mossback brought from over
tho river must be buried.

A Card From KJ. Wright.
ASTOIUA, Oct 10. ""
.Editok Astobian-: In tho card pub
lished by Judge Cleveland in this
morning's AsToniAif, ho is evidently
groping iu the dark for some informa
tion which ho could have obtained
without tho necessity of representing
me as o sneak thief. But, a3 ho evi
dently wished io see his name in the
papers, I will help him out Mr.
Cleveland says:
"The facts of the matter aro as fol fel fol
eows: Ed.
Wright of tho Columbian, as I
am informed and believe, came into
tho office, passed through the railing
that separates my private office from
tho Justico court and in my absence
copied tho names published, from the
list on my desk, without authority, or
permission, from any one."
The. above statement is a lio from
beginning to end. I have not entered
tho office of A. A. Cleveland since tho
day of the trial of Michell, and during
my three years work on the news
papers of this city, have never copied
an item from tho records of either
justice, police, county or circuit courts
without first obtaining permission to
do so. The insignificant item which
Mr. Cleveland seems 'desirous of en
larging into mammoth proportions,
was given to me by a party convers
ant with tho facts. Ko promise of
secrecy was exacted, and had Mr.
Cleveland came to mo liko a gentle
man and asked for -the source of my
information I might have told him,
but clothed in the dignity of his ono
horse court he woald not bend to ask
mo about the matter, but rushed off
into print with his tale of woe. My
occupation sometimes enables mo to
find news through mediums which it
isneither necessary or customary to
give as references, aad I do not intend
to make a practice ot submitting my
copy to Judge Cleveland for approval
before publication. Regretting tho
occasion of this denial, I am
Bespectfully,

Covered with Scales. Anftil Spectacle.
Cured in Five Weeks by tlip

1 am going to tell yoa of tho extraordinary
euro your CtrricuRA Ukukdiis performed on
mo. About tho 1st of April last I noticed
somo red nimnlca liko cominsr out all over
my body, but thought nothing of it until
fomo timo later on, when it began to look
liko spots of mortar spotted
on, and which camo off in
layers accompanied with
itching. would scratch
every night until I was raw,
then tho next night tho
scales, being formed mean
wbilo. wero scratched ofF
again. In vain did I consult
nil tho doctors in tho county,
luit without aid. After giv
ing up all hopes of recovery.
I happened to seo an adver
tisement in tho nowspapcr
'about your Cuticur v Ukuh-
diks, and purchased them from my druzgist,
and obtained almost imtncdhito relief. 1 bo
gan to notice that the scaly eruptions gradu
ally, dropped off and disappeared ono by ono,
until I had been fully cured. I had tho dis
easo thirteen months beforo I began taking
tho Kkmrdiks, and in four or fivo wocks was
entirely cured. My diseaso was eczema and
psoriasis, l know ot a great many wno navo
taken tho Hfmfdiks, and tbank mo for tho
kuowlcdgo of thorn, especially mothors who
havo babes with scaly eruptions on their
heads and bodies. 1 cannot oxprcss my
thanks to you. My body was covered with
scales, and I was an awful spectacle to bo
hold. Now my skin is as clear as a baby's.
