MINISTER'S OPEN LETTER.
Protest Is Voiced Against the Slot
Machines

At an adjourned meeting of the Min
isterial Association Of Astoria held yes
terday the following open letter was
adopted as the sense Of the association,
and was ordered published:
Every law abiding citizen Of Asto-
ria must regret the occasion Of the pub
iication OF the article that appeared In
the Daily News, March 25. entitled the
Slot Machine Order Revoked The fol-
lowing statements were made in the ar
tlcle: Nickel-in-the-sl0t machines,
which were recently relegated to the
rear rooms of cigar stores at the in
stance OF the police commission. are
again on the counters. On Saturday
Iealers were notified that they would
be permitted to run the machines and
they were at once -asurrscted. Ao-
cording to statements made by cigar
dealers TO reporter. an arrangement
has been entered into between the po-
lice commissioners whereby the dealers
are to be nned a stipulated sum-$25, 1t
is said, yearly-the fine to be paid in
monthly installments.'
Now everybody knows that it is the
duty OF the police board to enforce law
and not TO license crime. At least the
News Is OF the opinion that the pro-
posed agreement between the officials
and the would-be criminals is the same
as license, for Il says from what can
be learned. the proproposed license will
take in all slot machines. And again,
just how the police board is going TO
arrange the plan is a matter of specu
lation This is followed by the discus
sion Of one or more proposed schemes
by whoich the law against the slot ma
chine may be violated. Ane II is all
to be done for revenue raising pur-
poses In other words the city, through
its officials. proposes to enter into an
agreement with would-be criminals to
violate a state law for money.
we claim that the article places our
city. and especially our city officers. in
a very unfavorable light There is on
ly one rational conclusion that can oe
drawn from it-either our officers whose
duty it is to enforce laws are themselves
w-breakers or they have been SLAM
derei. If the former Is true we COM
mend The courage Of the News IN max
ing the exposure, for We believe the
official law-breakers ought to be ex-
posed as we'll as any other criminal.
But If the accusation is false the repu-
tation Of our city. as we'll as the honor
Of our officers, demands that the charges
be rsfuted.
Eve respectfully call the attention Of
our city officers to the accusation and
ask them, II the charge be false to pub
licly deny it. And since 1t is fact that
the slot machines are being run TO
please, tell the people OF Astoria why
the law is not enforced"

PUSH CLUB MEETS TONIGHT.
California Man Looking for Ship Build
Ing site.

A special meeting OF the Push Club
Is called for tonight by President r. p.
Kendall to receive and consider propo-
sition from a San Francisco firm look
ing toward the erection OF a ship
building plant in Astoria. President
Kendall stated to an Astorian reporter
yesterday that he had been in CORES
pondence with a shipbullder In San
Francisco. whose name he preferred not
to disclose, pending his appearance be-
fore the club.
From the correspondence" said Mr..
Kendall. Il am informed that the writ
er has contracts for the building OF
two ships. One will be erected IN San
Francisco and the contractor is look
ing about for site on which to locate
a plant for erecting a barkentine. The
labor alone on the ship, says the writer.
will aggregate $S5,000,"
Just what the shipbuilder will ask the
club to secure for him in the way OF a
bonus is not clearly understood. In all
probability site will be asked for. but
beyond that President Kendall has no
definite information. The reason for the
San Francisco mans desire to locate in
Astoria is that he will be able to Sc
cure good timber near by and save the
freight rates to California. He VIII
erect saymill on the timber tract, and
il the plan goes through will give em-
ployment TO a large number of men.

BIDS FOR COUNTY ROADS.
But Two Submitted and Their Rejec-
tion Probable.

1t Is not probable that either of the
two bids submitted to tile county court
yesterday for the construction of the
road from here to the Nehalem will be
accepted. 1t is estimated that the total
amount that will be available under the
five-year tax for the purpose OF build
ing the road will be less than $4,000
The lowest BIZ submitted included only
the first seven miles of the forty-two
miles which the road will extend and
the price asked was S27,S72.0S. nearly
TWO thirds of the entire amount for one
'sixth OF the road.
S. Nornne and W. A. Goodin were
the only bidders for the grading and
clearing the Columbia Digger Company
submitting bids only for dyking and
sluice boxes Mr.. Goodin's bid was for
the first seven miles from here and was
as follows: Clearing and grading
S99sI; dykes, S4Si2SS; planking. $l2,-
$500; small dyke near Walluski bridge,
5000; lumber Cor tide boxes $500; total
s2TS72.OS,
The bid from Mr.. Normile was for
the clearing and grading OF the first
six miles Of the road and the figure
was $4,000, exceeding the amount ask
ed by Mr.. Goodin for the first seven
miles. The planking, dyking and bulk
heads would be extra under Mr.. Nor
miles bid. The Columbia Digger Com
pany offered to do the dyking for 80
cents lineal foot, and build the sluice
boxes for 500 per thousand.
No bids were submitted for the con-
struction OF the road after the first sew
en- niles. 1t was expected that some
Of the smaller contractors would ap-
pear before the court yesterday and pc
tition for insertion Of a provision in the
specifications providing for partial
monthly payments for completed work.
The commissioners were ready to hear
them and grant provision for full pay
ment for each mile as completed.
The bids were taken under advise
ment and the action of the court will be
made known this morning. There Is
small room for doubt but that all will

for.

SUNDAY CLOSING VOID |
DECISION OF STATE BOARD OF
FISH COMMISSIONERS.
Van Dusen Returns From Salem
Where Important Subjects
We're Discussed.

Master Fish Warden Van Dusen re-
turned from Salem last night where
he attended a meeting Of the STATE
board Of FISH commissioners. The gov
ernOr. secretary OF state and the war
den were present. the state treasurer
being absent
The most important subject before the
board Was the question Of the legality
OF the Sunday closing section OF the
fisheries bill passed at the last legis-
lature. After exhaustive discussion Il
was decided, that lnasmuch as the sec-
ton was passed with the understanding
that the Washington legislature would
concur, the failure OF the Washington
lcgislltors 70 pass similar measure
makes the Oregon law imperative and
therefore IL will not be enforced.
The Sunday closing feature was In
serted by II. ID. Hume. who represent
ed Coos and Curry county In tie last
legislature and was the author Of the
fisheries bill passed. After the confer
ference In Portland between the Wash
ingtOn and Oregon lawmakers there was
a hitch in the proceedings. II had been
agreed that the Sunday closing Sec
tl0n would b. insisted upon by tse Ore
gon delegation but the Washington
members did not believe the legislature
would ratlfy such action The matter
vas let open with assurances from the
Washington delegation that they would
urge the passage Of the section but
could not predict what the final action
would be. After the delegation returned
10 Olympia telegram was sent 20 Rep
resentative Hume again expressing
doubt az to the passage OF the section.
Mr.. Hume wired back that unless Sun
dav closing was cOncurred In he would
hold up the sections OF the law
beneficial to Washington. Promises
were speedily made 10 pass the section
and the failure OF 'he Washington legis-
lature to do so will probably be regard
ed as serious breach OF good faith.
The proposition submitted By Fish
Commissioner Little NJ Washington that
Oregon assume control Of the wenat-
ches hatchery was discussed and the
board was favorably impressed with the
idea. Final disposition OF the matter
was deferred until the next meeting
The matter Of investigating the Snake
Umatiila and Clearwater streams for
hatchery purposes was considered and
the desirabilfty Of the different streams
win be thoroughly Investigated before
final action is taken.
Warden Van Dusen will confer today
with Deputy Fish Commissioner f. c.
McReavy. of Oregon. who will patrol
the lower Columbia under the arrange
ment made with Commissioner Little
for Joint patrol service. Two gasoline
launches. the Elk and the Eagle are
under consideration and one will be
leased for the use Of the deputies. Mr..
McReavy arrived Tuesday night

CAN CUBANS GOVERN THEM

One OF the best known diplomatlsts
recently declared that the Cubans are
incapable OF governing themselves and
that the United States must maintain
its present control Indefinitely, or else
annex the island. There will be those
who Will dispute this, but there are
none who dispute the well established
fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitbers
is capable Of controlling the common
diseases Of the stomach. It Is a rem
edy that is backed by fifty years Of
success. 1t Is an ideal medicine for
constipation; strength builder for
