At the meeting of the city council on the first day of last July, two bids for doing the city printing and furnishing blanks for the city's use were submitted to the council in ac cordance with advertisement for pro posals for the same. TIic bids were as follews: J. F. Halloran & Co. agreed, to do the print ing for 2 cents per square, minion type, each insertien: blanks to be furnished for SG.78 per thousand. The Columbian Publishing Co. for l"5! cents per square of minion type, each insertion; blanks to be furnished for $3.71 per thousand. The bid of th9 Columbian Publish ing Co. being the lowest, the contract for one year from August 8, 1890, was awarded to them and the following contract was entered into between the company and the city, and duly signed by the representatives of the respective parties: COXTIUCT. This agreement entered into tho first day of Augnst, 1890, by and between the Columbian Publishing Company, a cor- ! poration formed and existing under and i pursuant to the laws of tho state of Ore- con, party or the nrst part, ana . o.

Carpenter, President Geo. P. "Wallihan, Secretary. T. S. Jewett, Auditor and Police Judge, for and on behalf of the city of Astoria In this contract it will be observed that the price to be paid is 134 cents per square, minion type. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the matter, it is here stated that a square of type by the universal cus- ' torn among printers and publishers is understood to bo the number ot lines of the type in question required to (make one inch, lengthwise of a colnmn i of the paper. For instance, the above contract Ls set in minion type. Ten Hues of that type make one inch, or square. The contract says tue auver tiseraeuts shall be set in minion type, and that the advertisements shall be paid for at the rate of VK cents per Minare. each insertion. Custom in this city, at least, has decided that a "souare" id an inch, conseouenth the Publishing Co. for the blanks; in the second column is given the price that should be charged for the blanks ac cording to contract. It will bo ob served that the price charged by the Columbian Publishing Co. is more than six times greater than the con tract price. Under the head of "City Printing" is given in the first column the amounts charged by the Columbian Publishing Co., and in the second col umn the correct price according to their contract ItAvill bo seen that the price charged is about four times greater than the price for which they agreed to do the work.

Neither the auditor and police judge nor any member of the council have been guilty of auy such foolish, guilt-edge extravagance. The paper of Avhich the city's blanks are usually furnished is good enough for a city that has alieady exceeded its legal indebtedness several thousand dollars. While their bill calls for S102.70, the correct amount is S'Zo.bO. It is easily ' seen that if the Columbian Publishing vx. nave cnargeu 14 cents per square for tho city printing, their "square" must be only one-quarter of an inch long, as their prices are four times greater than if calculated on the stand ard sqnarc. The scheme is apparent Tho Co lumbian Publishing Co. planned to put in a bid for printing, etc., on a con tract which could not possibly be done except at a loss if honestly performed In the planning of tins stealing scheme can bo seen tho cunning hand of the sneak thief. They hoped to quietly get their dis honest bill for printing and blanks through the council without attract ing attention. Their motive was dishonast from tho beginning. Their own figures prove them thieves in thought, purpose and prac- tie.ft. But what better can be expected' of a ComDanv eomnosed nf individuals who unbluhingly print dastardly, ly ing articles to injure innocent persons. Such is the practice of the Colum bian that poses on a high moral plane as a guardian of the city's interests, and has the brazen effrontery to hold itself up before the public as a model for The Astobiax to imitate. It is well known that the tools re ferred to will he. It is now proved that they have tried to steal. But they have mistaken their men; the members of the council are men who will not stoop to collusion with such thievery as the C. P. Co. wishes to practice. The C. P. Co.'s bill will not be allowed. The Astorian ventures to predict that they will be called upon to present an honest bill mado out according, to the terms of their contract This thing cannot be explained away; it is a deliberate attempt to steal. In this case, as usual, those who will eteal must stand up before the public branded as thieves. The Astoriax is sorry that un principled persons have control of a paper that should be an ornament and a credit to the city, and calls at tention to this matter because it be lieves that contracts fairly made should bo honestly fulfilled. If par ties contract to do printing for noth ing, then they should make no charge. If it was agreed that S5 should be given the city for the privilege of do ing its printing, then the city should demand and receive the So. If you don't want to do citv mint ing cheap, and don't intend to do it, cheap, don't agree to do it Business is busineas. Sweet Appie Cider at the Astoria Soda Works.

This firm is the sole agents on the Pacific coast for the Avorld-renowned threads of William Barbour & Sons, whose first mill was opened nearly 110 years ago at Lisburn, in Ireland. They have immense factories in Lis burn, Paterson, N. J., and Ottensen, in Germany, forming collectively a manufactory as large as any two other linen thread firms in the world. This is not the only fact that places them at the head of the thread busi ness. In 1878 at the Paris exhibition the firm was awarded the only grand prize ever given at any International exposition for threads, and the senior member of tiie firm given the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor." No more flattering award than this could be made any exhibitor, no matter how, Avhen or where. Nearly all our gill nets for salmon, and the twine used for sewing grain sacks are Barbour's products, though they are higher priced than auy other in the market Henry Doyle fc Co. have repre sented this gigantic concern in San Francisco for some fourteen years past, and under this firm's direction it is steadily increasing its already enormous lead. The representative of Henry Doyle & Co. in this city is Mr. C. P. Upshur, Avho carries constantly on hand a stock not only of the Messers.
