At a mass meeting of citltens of Ham mond Tuesday evening, the charter for the proposed new town was discussed and adopted. The name selected for the city Is New Astoria. The ofllceTS selected to guide the dretlnlr of the city unt.l the next general e4ectln are named in the charter as follows: Mayor, C. E. Ford; councllmen. R. Faulkner. Jimes Coffy. W. Mudd. H. Thompson and F. Johnson. The boundaries of the town In. elude all of the Kindred donation claim. The ways and means committee of the common council are engaged in basing estimates for the receipts and expendl. tures of the city for the ensuing year. The committee held a meeting yesterday, and. although not yet definitely decided upon. It is believed a 10-mlll levy will be fixed the limit allowed by the charter. Owing to the reduction In property valuations, this will raise an amount considerably less than did the 9-mlll levy ot last year and It will be only sufficient to meet the Interest coming due, leaving the remaining expenses of the city to be obtained through licenses and fines. l Cantaln Tom Nelll returned Sunday trom gan Francis on the steamer Co. lumbla. after taking the torpedo boat Davis down the coast Captain Neitl says the little craft behaved well on the ocean, but the weather waa unfavorable for good speed all the way; otherwise the Davis would have established a record between the two ports hitherto unknown. Twenty-eight miles an hour Is pretty quick time and Csptaln Nelll says that when under full steam the Davis idM'd through the water like greased lighten. lng. The after boiler gave out on the trip and as soon as this Is repaired he will be turned over to the government. The bill Introduced in the l.cL-la'ure warding barber Khops has no niprs'.tlon locally, but Is heartily commended. Mr. Zuelrh. of th., Palai-e. nys he favors the passage of tho measure, which will re quire shops to be closed on Sunday and make It necessary for barbers to s-rve oC the Lower Columbia River, an apprenticeship and pass an examina tion, lie say ha bc-Uevc all barber favor Sunday cluing, and he hopea that the examination claus of lbs bill will become part or th law, He thinks bar. hem, as will as dentists, should re, quired to attain a certain degree ot pro ftelenoy.

The Push Club committee having In charge the matter f Ihe betterment of the mad of the county reported at l ist nht's meeting that th suKKe!l"ii "f the club had been presented to the coun cil and that the council sanctioned the plan. The committee further reported that Ihe legislative committee was pre. paring the necisjairy bills for presenta tion to the legislature. Asked for a report. John II. Smith, of the legislative committee, said the wrk of framing the bills had not been com pleted. Me said there were many n com. mendatlons for embodiment In th pro posed law, and that It would nece.irllv require considerable time to get the bill In snap for presentation. A discussion ensued as to the best manner of pm. cedure, and Mr. Smith suggested that tli feature providing for th collection of poll taxes be Incorporated In a separate bill. Mr. Smith's suggestion met with unanimous favor, and the b glslittlve com mittee was Instructed to draw up a sep arate bill and send It to Salem as soon as possible.

Mr, Mttilth was opoc-tcd b he plan of making It compulsory for counties to rngnsr the services of a ro,lmistir. contending lbs! this would create an. other iitllee, on which. Instead of upon rads. part of the money would he spent. Mis idea was that th cvuuty employ om enthusiastic romnetent prron for or U day In the stimnn r month lo make a i,prclat study of county tec, Is and report hi findings to ihe county court. Me further favored the appointment of three vlrwers by lh court, one of whom lo be the experl employed during Ihe summer months, and lhat thrsc. men be retained permanently In that capacity. In this way. ha said, tho county could get better results than by appointing dif ferent persons for each road pctltl .mal for. Mr. Hmlth Impressed the asso, I itl.m with th necessity of Ihe court appointing only g.Kid men as viewers, and wa of the opinion that such a plan W"Ubl l productive ot excellent result. Jl'IxiK C.UAV St CAPTION ABTOU.A, Jan. K-iKdltor Aslori.mi lisl July a ro.id convention wa held at the courthouse In this city, ami Urgsly atten,ld by delegate from nearly every road district In th county. After a thorough discussion, a petition pre. pared and circulated requesting lh icgl. Uture to enact a law that would mk It possible o collect a poll road tax. and that 60 per rent of such tax and of Ihe properly road tax rollecled In the city of Astoria be expended In the building of permanent roads from the city limits In. ward th country.

I. l r.H.w A'SAINST A UKIl'('TI'N OK TI'K CITY'H I.IMITfl Progressive Commercial AHocdatl,.n I es Nut Pavor tho Action Proposed by the Common Council. At tho mteili: of the Tush Club last night thu agitation for a reduction of the limits of the. eiiy wa onriM, red, and tho lub almost unanimously condemned th proposed action of tho council. The council, at lis special meeting Krlday night, declared Itself In favor of smaller limits, tho vote being flvo to four. The action of tho Push Club, however, will probably have tho effect of changing the sentiment of the council. Judge Taylor was present last night and, at tho Invitation of President Mum. blct, explained tho proposed action of thu council. Mn said he wa In favor of reduced limit mid was of the opinion that the peninsula from what Is known as Wllllamaport west should bo Included In the limits, lfo said tho present limits of the city were ridiculously largo and that the amount derived from taxes on the portion he would exclude was used In building roads In that district, which was, therefore, of no financial benefit to the city. John M. Smith took an oioslte view of tho matter, contending that, If tho portion not thickly settled were excluded, It would escape paying In tenet on tho city's Indebtedness, ""d tho municipality would consequently be Inner. Ho suid the only reason this property Is worth any- thing Is becaiiHo the city In whom It Is, and if Astoria's population doubles thn value of the properly would also double, .Mr. iillduhrand advanced thu theory that tho limits should not bo reduced, because, even though tho cntlro amount derived from taxed In thu objectionable portion were expended on roads thme, the community would be benefited to the extent of thnso Improvements. Afler considerable discussion pro and con, Mr. Robb moved that the associa tion declare Itself oppoiicd to a roductlon of the limits, und that tho council be so. fuulnted with thn club's sentiment. The motion provullcd, but one member, Prank l I'arknr, voting in the negatlvo. Tho council meets next Thursday even ing, when It will consider tho report of the committee to which the matter was referred, It was the sense of the council, by the narrow mangln of ono vote, that tha limits be reduced, and the commit lee will recommend that the limits extend from the center of Tongue Point south to a point In line with the waterworks; Save Half Your Money The set tin! cost of shoe Is not clotormlned by th prlo you pay for Ihem, but by Ilia length of lime ihey wear, and by Ih salt, faction they give, V have (he riwlit shot. for Hi right prloss, I John Tito HOriE-flADE Taffies, Caramels, Chocolates and Bon Bons fresh every day, nt THE SPA.
