CITY DOESN'T OWN IT
PROPERTY ASKED BY q. w.
HUME FOR WHARF.
Street Ends at Point Where the
Property IN LOeated--Other
Matters Before Council.

At the council meeting last night the
report Of the street committee was re-
ceived with reference 10 the request
that the foot OF street In Alderbrook
be vacated for the benefit OF George w.
Hume. The report showed that the
street did not extend as far out as the
location that Mr.. Hume desires for his
wharf, but that the property belongs to
the Van Dusens. As result, his re-
quest was filed.
There w4g considerable discussion
over proposal 10 establish the grade
OF Hume avenue In West Astoria and
the grades OF other connecting thor
oughfures. IL appears that several
families have built ZONES in the Hin
man tract that are inaccessible at
present. The use Of ladders being
necessary in order TO get to them. The
street committee recommended that
Hume avenue IN Trullingers addition,
be improved In a zigzag course. so that
the people living on the hill could have
access 10 their homes Councilman
Trulinger said the proposed improve
ment wiuld extend through property
on which there is not an improvement
OF any kind. and that the owners. Of
which he Is one, would certainly re-
monstrate. However, tine resolution
providing for the preliminary work was
adopted, Mr. Trullinger voting against
1t.
The report Of the street committee
on the establishment Of the grade of
Cedar and Birch streets In Alderbrook
was adopted These -ades were de-
ci'led upon at meeting Of property
owners. The committee also filed a
report on the matter of paying for the
Thirty-fourth street Improvement. w.
A. Goodin made the improvement and
he asked the council to accept the work
so that he ''ould receive payment An
injunction against the improvement
was issued out Of the circuit court, and
the committee reported that 1t would
be impossible 10 make the acceptance
until such time as the injunction was
dissolved. 1t recommended that the
contractor be paid interest on the
amount for the time of the holdup.
An ordinance authorizing the ways
and means committee to advertise for
and accept bids for the city printing
was passed under suspension of the
rules.

Whether tr not Jack Matthews has
resigned as chairman OF the state re-
publican central committee Is ques-
ton that has been interesting the peo-
pie of Oregon for some days past. The
Portland Journal has demanded Mat
thew's resignation of the Chairnianship
or the United States marshalship, but
1t was unable to learn IN Portland II
Matthews still held both positions.
Matthews was quoted by Henry Nc
CHM as saying that he resigned the
Craftsmanship in July last, Yester-
day Harrison Allen. secretary of the
state committee. was asked by the To-
cal representative of the Journal
whether or not Matthew'S resignation
had been handed In, but he declined to
make any statement. He said that any
information he had on the subject
would he placed at the disposal Of the
state committee when next It met. but
that IL would be withheld, so far as
he was concerned, until the meeting.
Mr.. Allen further stated that he would
not permit himself to hAcome involved
in the fight between Matthews and
Croassman. 1t waa learned, however,
from another source, that Matthews
had rendered his resignation. He
handed il in to Mr.. Allen for action
at the next meeting of the committee.
As the time for this meeting rests with

political position by virtue of a desire
to do so,

A School in Arabia.

During my stay at Nakhi, says a
writer in the Geographical Journal, I
visited some of the schools, Of which
there are five here. and saw the chill
dren imbibing instruction in the usual
Moslem style repeating aloud sentences
of the Koran or rules of grammar read
out by the mollah. They attend in the
morning and may be seen at an early
hour hurrying to school, boys and girls
together, some with "minfa." or wood
en- Koran stand, ON their heads, some
with a painted board or camel shoulder
blade, on which they learn to write
under their arm. The instruction given
is of a very elementary character
reading, writing Arabic grammar. the
Koran, and little arithmetic being the
only subjects. But the boys Of the
learned and wealthy are often educated
at home by mollah, and advanced
further. The lack Of method is partly
compensated for by the precocity and
tenacity of memory shown by the boys.
Nakhi deserves attention for the COM
paratively advanced state of education
among the people, there being a larger
proportion of persons in this town able
to read and write than in any other in
Oman. There is a good number also of
professional scribeS. Books, conse-
quently, are not so scarce here as else
where. The higher position Of learning
here is attributed to the influence of the
Persians, who occupied this part Of the
country during the time Of Nadir Shah.
