up OF unfinished business loft over from
the last meeting consequently, all out
sidcrs wyrc barred
Att,r the meeting adjourned, Il was
lcaraot. however from one OF the mcm.
hcrs. that the packers stood pat, ON
their original proposition, and would
maintain tho position taken as to pricys
TO be paid Tor raw material They will
not pay i've cents per pound because
they say they cannot, No weak mcm-
hers were found in the association. and
no disposition Was shown 10y any one To
back down from The position already
announced
Il was stated that the talk about New
York market prices ugot,d ia newspapers
justlfying the payment ot bv0 cents Tor
raw material WAS made without true
knowledge OF the situation, In fact. Il
Was said that IA" situation L. just the
reverse OF that pictured at the Usher.
mems meeting buyers show no disposi.
ton whatever to pay such prices, nor
are they even willing TO pay u price
that will Justify packers In giving four
cents FOR raw material, TO say nothing
about five cents, The packers AS = body
expressed themselves as morv than will
ing TO pay five cents Tor fish " they could
see their way clear 10 do 80 and set their
money back Il was stated that there
is not a packer on the river, with per
haps one exception. who has not % large
lot OF last springs goods lctt over witch
cannot be disposed OF at current prices
Taken altogether. from an outsiders
standpoint. and looking at the matter In
a disintcrrstcd way. there seems To D.
little hope Of an agreement hyiug reached
between the packers and the fishermen a.
an early day. As q merchant said last
evening, Il Is 10 De- grratly regretted that
the packers cannot md some way TO
meet the demands OF the men. The stand
the packers have taken has affected
every line OF business In the city Every
merchant In the city. every bank, every
real estate man, every lawyer. doctor,
broker. clerk and laborlDg man. has al
ready felt the contraction OF business
consequent upon the present trouble. Il
Is only TO be hoped that the condition OF
may be soon adjusted.

MCCARTNEY ROAD.
Subscription Raised by the Farmers for
the Improvement OF a County
Highway.

Mr.. August Davidson, OF Barbara, Clat-
sop county, who was In the city ycster-
day, stated to an Astoriln representative
that the people m the lower NchaIcm
Valley were making strenuous efforts TO
secure "A road TO Astoria. They are az
present without any means OF trunspor-
tation to their county seat except for a
long distance over a very Indifferent
trail The residents OF that portion OF
the county have business with the county
seat as well as others. Besides this,
Astoria Is the natural market FOR their
products, and the natural source OF their
supplies.
Mr.. Davidson says that the distance
from the nllamook county line to Sea-
side is twenty miles. and hat out OF
that distance there Is only abOut twelve
miles OF a road In any sort OF passRble
shape. In addition TO the trade with
the lower Nehalem. there Is also n
large o OF business that could be
done with Tillamook county II there was
a decent road between there and Astoria.
The Nehalem people. through the efforts
OF Mr.. Davidson. nave within the last
few days raised a subscription OF some
thing over 800 for the prosecution OF
work on this road Everyone who has
been consulted on the subject. agrees
that the road should " built through
from the TillamoOk line. The old Necar-
ney road. up through Seaside, with the
new road necessary to be built, can be
put in passable shape nj "A cost not TO
exceed 1890 per mile. The farmers feel
that the citizens OF Astoria should CONT
to their help. now that they have done
all that they car. II Is not n matter
OF charity, but n pure business proposi-
ton In which the merchants OF Astoria
are more largely interested han the far
mers. IN extensive, gilt-cdgcd trade IL
being lost every day in this city be-
cause the farmers have not adequate
means OF reaching their natural source
Of supply. The farmers, on the other
hand, suffer because they cannot find
n market AZ a reasonable cost Cf trans
p%ortation, for the produce which they
might raise. In other words, they do not
rear the crops they would, because OF
their inability Of reaching market. Mr..
Davidson says that II only n few hum
dred dollar were spent this season In
improving the worst part OF the road,
IL would be Of great assistance 10 them.
The lower Nehalem people have this
year a large crop OF hay in sight. there
are plenty OF cattle in the country which
are In good condition, and small fruits
and vegetables will be plentiful. The
loggers are doing a good business, and
the Nehalem Mills are running full blast.
There Is only one dark spot on the horo-
scope Of the Nehalem valley, and that
IL that AstOrians and n large part OF
ClatsoD county are paying more atten-
tion to the railroad than they are to
the county road.

ORIGIN OF "~TEETOTAL"

Exchange.
The late Rev. Joel Jewell, a Presby-
terrain clergyman, revivalist and active
temperance worker, is said to have orig
mated the word 'teetotal" in this wise:
When quite a young man, not then or
dained, Mr.. Jewell was conducting a.
public temperance meeting In Hector, ".
Y. For the pledge against using dis
titled liquors he introduced the letters
80. P" meaning "old pledge" and "T"
for total" the latter including both dis
titled and fermented liquors. When TAX
ing the names Of those who had ex-
pressed a desire to sign the pledge a
young occupant Of a gallery seat called
out, Add my name n a r. for / am
a "T~-totaller.'"
After this the word "teetotal" was
adopted by Mr.. Jewell IN his writings
and speeches.

greet for his Resignation.
A congregational meeting was held on
Wednesday evening In the Presbyterian
church TO take action on the resignation
OF the pastor, Rev r. Liddell. The at
tendance was large. Before the opening
OF the meeting Mr.. Lld1ell In a feeling
manner, addressed those present, assur-
ing them that he had rendered his resig-
nation only after careful and prayerful
confederation. The church and It's mem
beers had a warm place in lis heart, but
he believed the interests Of the church
az well as his own interests, would be
best served by the step he had taken,
and, therefore, before the meeting COM
menced, he wished them to fully UNDER
stand that his decision was nnal and
the meeting could act accordingly.
Pastor Llddell then called upon Rev.
DR.. Garner to act as moderator Of the
meeting, and he retired. DR.. Garner then
called the meeting to order and the clerk,
Elder il. C.. Holden, read the minutes OF
the last meeting. which were approved.
Rev. r. Liddell's resignation was then,
on motion, accepted, and the following
resolution offered by Elder c. A. Hanson,
and seconded by Elder u. c. Holden, was
unanimously adopted:
