at Fort Stevens on Christmas day. The
members OF the club and football enthusl-
asts generally are taking great interest
In the game. which promises to be the
best ever played in this section Of the
state. The A. F. C. team Is much
heavier this year than last and the
men have much more experience. The
team has been greatly strengthened by
the addition OF several new players, and
Captain Allen is confident that the blue
and white will wave VIGOROUSLY at the
conclusion OF the game. The Fort Stevens
men are practicing fclthfuily and are
said to be putting up good game. Two
steamers have been chartered to take the
crowd to the fort to see the match.

The following resolution was introduced
at the council meeting last night. and
was referred 10 the wharves and water
frontage committee for a report: Where
az, ir has come 10 the knowledge of the
common council Of he city OF Astoria
that the superintendent Of streets has
developed an enormous propensity for
hunting cougars within the city limits.
and that, on the -- day Of --. 1895. one
Beasley, a deputy Of said superintendent
OF streets. Old shoot and kll two cougars,
and that thereafter and on the following
day, the said superintendent. with Intent
to acquire unto himself great and un-
deserved repute, did. then and there.
wilfully and felonIously inform the city
attorney and auditor that he, tho said
superintendent, did kill. slay and muir
der two cougars, which said information
was but the fruit OF dlsordcred brain:
be II Resolved, That the said superinten-
dent was at said time but a knight OF
MunchauseH, end is not r, sponslble as
a hunter or as a rife shot" The resolu-
tion was framed by City Attorney Allen,
wlose given name. Harrison was written
In red Ink. Mayor Bergman instructed
Chairman Robb, Of the wharyes and
watsrfrontage committee. to report on
the matter at the next meeting. at which
time the council will finally determine
what shall be done with Street Superin-
tendent Llnville, the accused.
AN open river. Of course is essential
to Astora's realization OF all the posi-
bilities Of her development" said one OF
the Eastern Oregon visitors yesterday:
but ! can plainly SEQ that what we farm
ers and you Astorians as well most need
at this time Is an open railway. This
We are destined to get very shortly. If
the impression already made on tho In.
land producers as to the merits OF your
railway conteLtlon is properly followed
up by your chamber Of commerce and
Push Club. Get your common point set-
tied ana your railway opened, and We can
afford to spend the years Of time which
will be required by the slow movements
Of the government in securing through

much as anybody, but l fear some Of the
present agitation In that direction Is be-
Ing fostered by the transportation COM
panies, who fear the result to them OF
an immediate open railway more than
they do long-distant, future open river.
Don't let your people be fooled into any
diversion or scattering Of your efforts
and the effect already created for an
open railway communication with the
great grain fields Of the Inland Empire
by the talk Of AM open river. Nobody
in Oregon that | know Of professedly op-
poses an open river, but know Of some
who do not favor an open railway and
my observation is that those latter fel-
lows are at present the loudest shouters
for an open river"
