A SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
Four Men and Horse Fan Fifteen
Feet and Escape Unharmed.

A singular accident occurred in Tn
iontown yesterday afternoon. The
fact that several lives were not lost
is what gives the phase Of singularity
to the affair.
Lem Simpson. the driver Of one OF
Ross. Higgins and Company's delivery
wagons, was driving his rig along the
new road just west Of the Elmore can
merry and came upon a party OF men
who were putting up a telephone pole.
In order to allow the rig to pass one

barricaded the road. The top of the
wagon. however. in passing, struck

in doing so. precipitated the derrick
to the ground. the derrick falling be-
tween the horse and the dash board.
The horse, in its fright. jumped over
the railing at the side Of the road TO
the rocky beach below. a distance Of
about fifteen feet, and, in doing so,
carried the wagon. the driver and his
companion with it. On the way over,
the horse took two Of the telephone
men along, they having been knocked
over the railing in the rush. The four
men, the horse and tie wagon landed
at the bottom in general jumble. one
of the men lighting on the horses
back. When the mix-up once became
untangled it was found that the only
casualties consisted of one man be-
ing slightly bruised and wagon bad

The Common Council Is Not Elected to
Represent This City in Matters
OF Trade and Transportation.

ASTORIA. May S.-IEditor Astorian.l ]
What are the duties of the common
council? l had supposed councilmen
were elected to provide for the main
tenance OF municipal government. In
such particulars as appertain to that
work, concede that they represent the
city. But by what authority do they
assume or presume. by virtue Of their
position, to represent the people Of this
city in discussing questions pertaining
to the economy of transportation and
our commercial relations to other parts
of the state? As individuals they have
the right to give utterance to any ideas
or convictions they may entertain on
these or other subjects. but they have
no right, and it is the most gross pre-
sumption on their part, to pretend to
speak for the city on these questions
They We're not elected for that purpose
Indeed, they would not have been
elected at all had it been conceived
that they would prove so indescribably
silly and verdant as to permit them
selves to be made the puppets of the
man who Is writing all this trash and
getting into the press through the me-
dium of our councilmans-what shall
say, to put it mildly-vanity?
Gentlemen Of the council, are you not
aware that everybody in town knows
who is the author of your long-winded
articles and resolutions? No newspa-
per of standing in the state will publish
his articles under his own name, there
fore he is working you to give cur
rency to his vaporings, Some think
he is paid by certain enemies of Astoria
to work" you in this way, and the
character of the articles he has so far
succeeded in getting you to father,
strongly supports that theory. Per-
sonally, however, 1 attribute it entirely
to his innately mischievous disposition,
his ever present desire to meddle in
matters that do not concern him and
which he does not understand.
You prate about common point
rates." Do you know what is meant

wants 800 per month 10 make the city
still darker than It has been.
But for the haste OF Auditor Mel
son In returning the West Shore
Mills company's certified check on
Monday night, the council might have
accepted that corporations bid, ex-
tortionate as II was, for a year and
thus continued the arc lights until the
water commission could get sufficiently
awake to 10 something. The truth
Of the matter is that the water com
mission has been more than remlss In
its duty to the city In this lighting
matter The members Of that body
knew weeks ago that the contest over
city lighting was coming. They also
knew when II would come and they
had II In their power 10 meet the
emergency that Will now exist by eth

would put Astoria In shape not only
to light its streets well and cheaply but
10 furnish light and power TO indi-
vidual consumers who would jump at
the chance Of getting good service at
equitable rates.
The situation at present seems to
be that the council has done It's du-
iy; the citizens approve OF its actions
and now look to the water commits
sion to get to work and meet the sit
uatlon without an hours loss OF time.
Municipal ownership Is by no means
a necessity. although It is favored by
majority Of the people. 1t Is known
that parties here at home and capi-
talists from abroad are ready TO in
vest money in lighting plant in AS
torla providing they can secure the
use OF the citys water power.
The council can light the streets by
some one OF the many proposed sys-
TENS, II 1t is found absolutely neces-
sary TO do so. for the few months II
would take to install new lighting
plant and complete the water pow
er and then the city would be in a
position TO be forever free from the
exactions of any corporation so far as
public lighting is concerned. Not on
ly this. but it would be in a position
to adopt other economical measures
OF public service.
What will the water commission do?
Certain It is Astoria citizens wiz not
quietly consent to the council going
back on the action 1t has taken.

LOCOMOTIVES RUN WITH OIL.

One OF the largest railroads on the

oil as fuel for its engines. But whether
the experiment. will prove a success
remains to be seen. In this respect 1t
differs from the famous Hostetter's

decided success In its fifty years Of
cures of stomach Ills such as dys-
pepsla, Indigestion and biliousness. Do
not experiment with unknown remedies
