sAcHEMs EXCURSION.
Twenty Car Loads OF People Go to
Seaside and Feast-A Disap-
pointed Crowd OF Merry
Makers.

There We're twenty car loads Of peo-
pie In the excursion Of the Grand
sachems OF the Red Men from Portland
TO Seaside on Sunday last. and II was
a miserable day for an excursion. at
that. but. as the Astorlan has said
time and again, the people Of Port
land are anxious TO get away from
that city on their one holiday in the
week. and consequently they took ad-
vantage OF the chance offered them for
an opportunity 10 see the sea. and over
fiftten hundred people came down on
the special train.
The ride. although n slow one. was
a delight in itself. and ii was huge
ly enjoyed. but the reception the ex-
cursionists received NJ the end OF the
ride was n disgrace TO Seaside and will
probably end excursions for awhile TO
that town.
There was no place one could get a
bite TO eat; there was no one who
seemed able to point out a point Of in
terest or even answer question about
the place and the result was that the
train load OF people left Seaside thor
oughly disgusted with the town itself
and the reception they received.
Two or three hundred people on the
excursion. who stopped on at Astoria.
had n good time. They founi an
abundance TO eat and drink. and not at
excursion rates. either; they found
places OF interest to visit and had no
difficulty in getting launches or boats
for rides on the river; some OF them
went fishing others took car rides and
generally speaking, all the excursion
lists who stopped on at Astoria got
what they came fora good time,
And this. too. when Astoria had
made no preparation TO receive yisi-
tors. as II was understood that the
excursion would be rushed through TO
Seaside for clam bake. The clam
bake was about the worst trial the
Portland people were called upon to
undergo, and the majority of the excur-
slonlsts. after getting reports from
those who had the courage to expert
ment with the bake, remained in the
cars, hungry and thirsty. without a
chance to buy a bite to eat or a drop
to drink in sight,
Excursions can be run from Portland
to Astoria, with even additional side
trips to Seaside or Fort Stevens, and
twice twenty carloads Of people can
be given an enjoyable days outing.
The weather was, of course, against
outdoor amusements on Sunday last
but there was no place at Seaside
where the crowd could gather indoors
and have good time, In Astoria II
would have been very different and
II the business men take up the mat
ter of running Sunday excursions to
this city during the coming summer
there win be no lack Of amusement for
the visitors in or out Of doors, good
or bad weather.
II viii only take one or two excur-
slons such as that Of Sunday last to
absolutely ruin the excursion business
to Astoria and adjacent points.

LOCOMOTIVES RUN WITH OIL.

One Of the largest railroads on the
Pacific coast has decided to substitute
oil as fuel for It's engines. But whether
the experiment. will prove success
remains to be seen. In this respect 1t
differs from the famous Hostetter's

decided success In It's fifty years of
cures of stomach ills such as dys-
pepsia, indigestion and biliousness. Do
not experiment with unknown remedies
when this safe and reliable medicine
can be had of any druggist. Try

capable Of digestlng the food taken
into 1t, and when this is done health

The bid included furnishing twenty
three lncandeseent lights for the city
hall and jail, without cost
Immediately after the reading Of the
bid Councilman Utzlnger moved that
that the council enter into a contract
with the company for two years. Cook
wanted TO make It for five years.
scherneckau then took the floor and.
In a lengthy speech. declared that he
was opposed to the acceptance Of the
bid because II was even more exces-
sive than that Of last year. He ex-
pressed the belief that II would be bet
ter for the city to struggle along in
the dark for a short time and allow the
water commission time to agree on
some kind OF proposition.
Utzlnger jumped TO his feet and in a
most emphatic manner declared he
would not stand for an instant for
scherneckau's darkness idea" II was
a disgrace upon the city to even sug-
gest an action.
Brix and Parker supported the posi-
tion taken by scherneckau. Parker
declared that the rates had been gradu-
ally growing higher when. in all reas-
onableness. they should be materially
decreased. Three years ago. he said.
the city had so arc lights for $3.50 per
month. the next year II cost the city
1915 for the same service and now the
city was putting up $500 per month
for the same number OF lights with
less power.
Utzinger then made another motion
TO the effect that the council enter in
TO an agreement for three years. There
was u murmur OF dissent TO this pro-
posal and p. A. Trullinger, the manag-
er Of the West Shore Mills Company,
broke the spell by stating that the
company would not take the contract
for one year at the same rate given
last year. Sherneckau interrupted
Trullinger with an inquiry as to the
candle-power to be guaranteed under
the schedule submitted. To this Trul-
llnger replied that the company could
not guarantee any specific volume and
be safe. 1t could not promise lights of
2OOO nor even 1900 candlepower.
A vote was then taken. as follows;
Noes-Agren, Brix, Goddard. Parker,
Scherneckau. Svensen.
Ayes-Cook. Hansen. Utzinger.
Trullinger then walked up to the
clerks desk and in tone of undisguised
anger demanded that he be allowed to
withdraw his bid. He was promptly in
formed by the mayor that the document
was in the hands Of the council and

Mr.. TRULLINGER's WRATH

For the second time the city coun-
eli last night declined TO accept the
bid Of the West Shore Mills Company
for the contract TO furnish electric
lights for the city. At the meeting be-
fore that Of last night the council de-
clined even to receive the company's
bid. az Il was believed that either the
water commission or other parties
would present some kind Of propo-
sltlon through which the city could get
decent lighting service at a cost
within the bounds OF reason. Last
night. however. matters came to a
showdown" The West Shore Mills
Company had put In the only bid for
the contract beginning on the 18th
inst. but the council declined TO enter
tain II because II was deemed too
excessive. This was done with a full
knowledge Of the fact that unless the
bid OF the company was accepted. the
city would be compelled TO spend a
period In darkness after the expira-
ton OF the present contract.

based upon a minimum service OF forty
