A TELEPHONE LINE
Should Be Built From Astoria to TilIa.
nook Rock.

The advantages to all concerned,
OF having telegraphic communication
with Fort Stevens and Cape Hancock
have proved so great that tempo
rary interruption of the service is felt
as hardship unwillingly endured.
The Historian called attention to
the need and convenience OF the line
at present in operation, long before it
was constructed, and finally through
its efforts and those OF the chamber
OF commerce Of Astoria, and the able
assistance Of our representatives in
congress the line was put in opera
tion.
A telephone line from this city to
Tillamook rock should be built with
out delay, or at any rate, telephone
line should be built from Fort Stev-
ems to the rock, then telephone mes
sages from the light station on the
rock could be transmitted to this city
by the telegraph line, as there will
probably soon be an operator sta
toned at The Fort. But the better
way would be to have through tele-
phone line from this city to the rock
and 30 save the delay and trouble of
repeating and transmitting the mes
sages over the telegraph line. As a
matter OF humane care the govern
ment should provide its faithful SER
wants on that lonely rock with means
OF instant communication with points
from which assistance could be sent
in case of urgent need.
1t would prove valuable as a mat
ter of economy, because constant COM
munication with the lightkeeper
would keep the lighthouse inspector
informed Of the state of affairs on the
rock and so save unnecessary visits
of the lighthouse tender to inquire
after their needs.
The line from this city to Tillamook
head would be easy and cheap to
build and from there to the rock
about two and one-half miles of sub
marine cable would be required. p.
The expense OF building the line as
above proposed would be inconsider-
able, and considering the long peri
DDS which sometimes elapse between
the visits of the lighthouse tender,
and the chances of some one on the
rock requiring assistance, it is plainly
the duty Of the government to appro-
pirate the insignificant sum which
would be required to build the line.
or course there is no reason for
complaint of the manner in which the
lighthouse employees are now treated.
Lighthouse inspector Sebree and
captain Richardson, of the Ma1za-
nfta, do all IN their power to. make
life on the lonely, and storm, swept
rock as comfortable and pleasant as
possible, and the employees, without
exception, express their appreciation
Of the watchful care given them, but
telephone lines have been built to
other lighthouse stations and Tilla-
nook should have one.

THE SALVATION aRxf.


Considerable comment has been
heard on the street the last day or
two, in reference TO the finding of q
verdict of guilty by jury on Satur-
day last, against foul mouthed fel-
low called Thomas Lyons, charged
before police Judge Jewett, with abu-
sive and obscene language toward a
female member of the Salvation Army.
Geo. Noland, city attorney, assisted
by. F. D. Winton prosecuted, and G.
j. Curtis and A. A. Cleveland, de-
Tended the accused. The defense
claimed a jury trial, and the following
weIl-known citizens were accepted as
tutors: D. 81. Welch, Hugh Murray,
Charles Olsen, w. w. Wherry, w. H..
Zumyalt, and s. Pitkin. : 1t has been
said that no jury could be found IN
this city to convict a man for any
offense against the Salvation Ar:
army. It was !. done. this time,
and it seems has been done at
least once before when about year
ago this same Thomas Lyons was
found guilty by jury, of similar
FlOldtlOu VI q C1ey oioihauOC, Woo
fined forty dollars, or an equivalent
in Jail, but was lucky enough to clear
out and escape both. The offensive
language used on this occasion by
the prisoner, was such that when the
principal witness for the prosecution
was called up for cross-e1amination,
the attorneys for the prosecution re-
quested Judge Jewett to dismiss the
crowd and let the: examination pro.
ceed with closed doors, a request the
Judge Immediately compiled with.
T As before .intimated. the jury found
Lyons guilty. Police Judge Jewett's
sentence was fine of fifty; dollars for
the offence, and in view OF the fact
that the city held an unpaid bill of
forty dollars against the offender, un-
less he paid the ninety dollars now
due, he should be confined in Jail for
forty days.
We are no apologist for the Saliva
.tion Army, neither are we in sympa-
thy with their methods. VIII atever
good they may accomplish in larger
cities where the noise and racket they
make is lost in the. hum of business
and travel, and hardly noticed, we
believe they do more harm than good
in this city, or any city of small pro-
portions, and about the greatest evil
which results from their presence, is
the assembling night after night
of crowd of young hoodlums, who
without let or hindrance from the
city police are allowed, contrary to
the provisions OF city ordinances, to
let off fire crackers, break in doors
and windows, and in various other
ways make themselves q greater nui-
sance by far. to the peaceable citizens
who live in the .syicinity of the
barracks, than theSMvstion Army it
self. If the city officials would see to
1t that this hoodlum nuisance and So
called persecution was put a stop to,
we believe it would be the best way
OF getting rid of the Army.
