The Portland Times says: "N'.ws
cornea by way of Chicago that the As.
toria salmon cannlrg cumbtne tniy pave
I the way for a maienai re In tbe price
i of tin plate." Tbe salmon canners" com
; blnatlon will not have the effect of caus
ing a Use in the price of tin plate, for
the very good reason that the tlnplate
; used on tbe entire Pacific coast does not
amount to une-twentieth ot the output.
. One firm in Indianapolis, a branch house,
, uses more tin than is used by all the
' packers of fruits, salmon and other
articles on the roust. The price of tin
- plate may go up, but not because the
canners of the Solumbla river have
combined. There is not enough tin plate
I used on the coast to support a tlnplate
factory, so the demand at Astoria Is not
great enougt to warrant a rise in the
price, as th Chicago story Indicates.
! Traffic out of the city by rail Is delayed,

This inconvenience was occasioned by a

Resolution Condemn. ..
County Judge Gray w is seen v-sr..y
by an Astorl.in representative an. I .ink.. I
w hat he thought of the resolution pas. d
by the council Friday night denouncing
him as a meddlesome Individual who h' I
no right to suggest or advo. aio amend
ments to the city charter. He was loth
to discuss the matter, but, when pr'-wd
for a statement. h. said:
"Allowing that I have no voice in the
city government, or any Interiat in the
doings of the council, or any right to
exist, the father ef the p-noiuUon Is
mistaken Is assuming that I petitioned
th legislature for a change In the char.
; ter. Hecemtly a road convention, at-t.-mV-l
by road supervisors and others
from the county, was held at the court
house. That convention passed a resolu
tion advocating an amendment to the
city charter which would glv.- to the
county for road purposes orn-.h.iif tin
property r'nul tax nnd one. half the road
poll tax 'ollected within the city. Trip
charter formerly provld'sl ( r this, but
wa amended, ond the county g--ts n-.no
of this money at the pres'-nt time.
"In a'-ror'lan.o with the seii'lmtrit
expressd at the road convention, n pe

, i lr. ulati-d throughout the county, and

quest that I rive U to Henaiur Kullon for

Fulton arrive.! In Astoria from Halem,
but returned to the oiipilul be fore I had
an opiiortuiilly to rIw him the petition.
When Representative Young was In the
cliy last week t gave die petition la him,
re.iuestltig hint to hand It to Henatar
Fulton, whli-h ho did, and It was pre
seni.M to (),e legislature.
"Of course, any resident of this county
ha the right to pcuibjn the legislature,
or anv oilftr public body whose action
may affect this locality, and the petit. n
waa iKMfwtly tlglu nn, pmpor. The
piiiple of the country thought such an
amendment to ti(1 cbard-r necessary and
they took the usual method of applying
for thn dinlrvd n lief To say that tie Ir
petliloti wa improper Is a remarkable
statement,
"A to myself, I mv(. only ,, ,av (i(
had I signed the peti(,n-wlilch I did
not-1 should merely have exercised the
prerogative which the law ot I be laud
guarantee, me. of course, appreciate
the spirit of , resolution, and am not

legislature every d.iv In the year, If ne.
cessary. Kven n oounty Judge, has that
right, njid the Judge of Clatsop county
Intend exentaing It whenever he d.-etn
It advisable."
The resolution adopt by tb council
was lh subjis-t of much comment mi
the street yesterday, slid It was gener
ally condemned as a most improper and
Ill-timed repression. To condemn a man
for petitioning the legislature Is regarded
l y Astor ans generally a tli verl-t rot

Ilago. It seemed utterly Impossible to
float them because of the terrible damage
Inllictiid by our 'guns, but the link has
been accomplished. Diseases of tin;
blood, stomach and liver frequently
wreck tho health so that there appears

accept anything said to be "Just as
good."
