At the meeting Of the Chamber OF
Commerce last night the committee on
commerce and navigation reported that
the suggestion had been made by Mr..
Hume OF theTonguePoint company and
Mr.. Dyer Of the Clatsop mill company
that board Of engineers be asked TO
take up the matter Of harbor lines and
the furnishing Of proper channel depth
for manufactures on the riser front.
In accordance with this suggestion the
report recommended that the secre-
tary Of war be asked to designate an
officer or board to consider the condi-
tlon OF the channel depth along the
pier line Of the north of the city and to
suggest such changes IN the harbor
line as may be deemed necessary for
the good Of shippers and manufactur-
ers.
The report. which was adopted by
the Chamber, was supplemented by a
resolution submitted by j. Q. "A.
Bowlby. The resolution In substance
urges that the secretary Of war be re-
quested to direct proper persons to ex-
anime the pierhead line east Of the
depot for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning such changes as may be neces-
sary for the accommodation Of deep sea
going vessels and recommended that
such changes be effected. The resolu-
tion was adopted and SecretaryHiggins
was directed to send copies to each
member Of the Oregon congressional
delegation and to Secretary Of War
Root.
b. Van Dusen, committee of one, on
the preparation OF suitable memorials
to mark Clatsop's historical spots, re-
ported that he had conferred with

WON BY SELECTS expo
sition of the great national game at the
A. F. c. grounds between the Astoria
Selects and the North Pacific brewery
team was not such as to arouse more
than ordinary interest in the sport,
both teams playing very ordinary ball,
the Selects winning by score of IS to
for the brewery boys. The teams
have been matched to play again in the
future for $50 side and the money has
been posted. The brewery team is
granted the privilege of recruiting
three new players for the return game,
Homer Fletcher, the brewery shortstop
sustained ugly injuries to his right
hand in the game yesterday. Some of
the individual plays were good and re-
deemed the game from painful medi-
ocrity. Ross pitched fast game
against the Selects, and would have
made abetter showing than Is hits off
him had his support been better.
Stockton made a spectacular catch in
left field, and two double plays, one
when the ball was batted to O'Toole at
shortstop, and was fielded to Graham
at second putting man out, and then
returned to Flanagan at first with sim
liar results was particularly brilliant.
Charley Halderman picked up fly,
which he threw to Graham at second,
retiring a man, and the fans howled
with delight. About 200 people were
present

CITY CoNCIL MEETING-At the
adjourned meeting OF the city couacil
last night new record for rapid di-
spatch Of business was established, on
ly 80 minutes being consumed at the
session, James Hannaford appeared
before the council in reference to san
itary conditions prevalent In the city.
He referred to the necessity of sewer
connections, describing certain cess
pools in the city, that must be eradica-
ted. From the remarks of Mr.. Hanna
ford it was inferred that as soon as he
gets down to business there will be
something doing in the plumbing in
spector's office. Notice on printed
forms will be served on all persons
whose places of business or residence
comes under the ban of the office and
failure TO observe the instructions and
obey the orders will result in prosecu-
tion. The new plumbing ordinance
will clothe the inspector with power
to act. New ordinances were intro
dueed and read a second time provid-
ing for the appropriation of money to
pay for the following improvements.

j. f. Ferguson protesting against the
manner in which the work on the inn
provement on Eleventh street is being
done was referred to the committee on
streets and public ways. Mr.. Fergu-
son states that the stringers in many
places are not sufficiently supported
at the ends, and the cross sills have not
sufficient foundation for the posts. He
also says that unless the work is per-
formed in good, substantial and
vorkmanlike manner he win refuse to
pay for the improvement.

and professional men of the city res
pertively, met on common ground last
night in Hanthorn's hall and listened
to an intelligent address by G. Y.
Harry of Portland, Organiser of the
American Federation of Labor, on the
relation of the employer and employee to
each other. Mr.. Harry faced the Iarg-
est audience ever gathered in Astoria
at labor meeting, and he was ac-
corded undivided attention for nearly
an hour. His address was straight
forward explanation of the aim and OBJ
ject Of organized labor, which seeks
protection for employe and employer
alike. Immediately after the mass
meeting the council went into execu-
tive session. Plans for the Labor Day

STEAMERS TO CoMBINE-A con-
solidation Of the small steamers operat
ing at and about Astoria is proposed
for the purpose of equalizing the
work. At present a certain steamer
or company Of steamers may control
the towing of logs while others may be
tied up or make only occasional runs
to points that bring in small returns.
while again The conditions will be
changed through cessation Of some
lines of business or the brightning up
OF others and The position Of the ac-
tive and inactive steamer may be re-
versed. A combine Of the steamers Is
proposed to ,bviate this unequal con-
dition Of things but whether the deal
can be brought 10 a successful issue
is not yet apparent. A number of the
prominent river men are interested in
the proposition and others are very
much alive to its Importance, so its
more earnest advocates are confident
their ideas will prevail. Another line
of work the mosquito fleet proposes
to get mold of to some extent is the
towing of large seagoing vessels to
points up the river, business that is
said TO be now controlled exclusively
by the o. p. & N.

What's In 4 Name.

In a letter to Reynolds Weekly,
Mr.. Wilson writes:
"In Answers to Correspondents
this occurs: The Celtic Irishman and
the Highland Scot are vaguely sup
posed to represent Spanish or Bel
gic INVASION and 'Erse, in any case,
is Gaelic, not Irish 1t is certainly
conceded by ethnologists that an Iber-
ian or Basque population, spread
over the whole of what is now called
Great Britain and Ireland, in the
Neolithic age; and that the ancient
Irish and Scotch were closely con-
nected together. 1t is curious, there
fore, to note in the last edition (1902)
of Brewers Readers Handbook this
comment under 'Erse': Whether the
Irish came from Scotland, or the
Scotch from Ireland. is one of those
knotty points on which the two ma
lions will never agree But surely, If
any question of the kind is settled. it
is that the Scott ancient 1rish) crossed
from Scotia Qreland) into Argyle
(Scotland) in the fourth century A. D.
Becoming the dominant race, they
called the land they had taken Scotia
Minor, afterwards Scotland, and the
island they had left, from being term
ed Scotia Major. got eventually called
Ireland. And thus Joannes Scotus,
who died in S75 A. D., was also known
as 'Erigena'-that is, 'Irishman' as
we'll as Scot AS to the word 'Erse,'
however, you seem to be under a mis-
apprehension. For it is admittedly an
early Scotch version of the word
Irish many variant forms being
found, some simply variations in
spelling, such as 'Yrische.' 'Erse' is
then considered to either reproduce
the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) 'Irisc,'
or Old Morse (Old Icelondic), Trskr,'

or possibly descending from a parallel
form, retaining the vowel Of the Old
Irish Erin Ireland. Its Scotch use
can be traced back to 1876 A. d. in
Barbours Bruce The Gaelic dialect
of the Highlands being of Irish origin,
'Erse' was the word applied thereto
by the Scotch Lowlanders, also to the
people speaking that dialect, and to
their customs. Hence, in the eigh-
teenth century, 'Erse' was used in
literary England as the ordinary des-
ignation of the Gaelic of Scotland.
But besides this, it was even then oc-
casionally extended to the Irish Gaze
lie, and, at the present time. the prac-
tice is to limit the word Gaelic to
the ancient language of the Scotch
Highlanders. To that end in modern
dictionaries and pathological works,
the word 'Gadhelic' is employed, to
mean that branch of the Celtic class
of the northern division of the Aryan
language, which comprises the Erse
Qrisl), the Gaelic (Highland- Scotch),
and Manx isle of Nam. Even the
word Irish itself also signifies the
Scottish Highlands or the Gaelic in.
lfabitants of them, and Halliwell calls
Highlanders and Islemen 'Irishry.'
AS late as 1912, A. D., those in the
Lowlands who spoke Gaelic were
known as 'Erse' or 'Irish,' and in it's
written form Scotch Gaelic was not
clearly distinguished from Irish till
about 1850 A. D. So, too, it is that
while the word Gaelic first became
familiar to English readers as denot-
ing the language of the Scottish High
landers, yet in more recent times it
has been applied to the language Of
the Irish Celts Also"

The re-appointment of William M.
Byrne for United States district at
torney in Delaware has not been con-
firmed by the United States senate
because of his participation in the Re-
publican fractional fight in that state.
He is an Addicks' man. Byrnes is a
strenuous imperialist who believes in
holding the Philippines for all they
are worth. He is the same individual
who attempted to make political
speech at banquet of the knights of
Columbus at Washington last Octo-
Der, but was prevented from inflicting
it on the members of the order. He
furnished his speech to the daily pa
pers as if he had delivered it and was

he world that it was England who
ook the initiative in the Venezuelan

While England and Germany remain
in cahoots it makes little difference
which of them is most to blame for the
attack on Venezuela. AS for the Mon
roe doctrine it appears to be in no
danger from either of them, but espe-
cially from England. If war once
broke out between this country and
Great Britain, it would not end until
England would lose every foot of land

TWO mERl1oRlous BILLS.

On Tuesday, Feb. 3, two excellent
bills were introduced in the House of
Representatives at St. Paul by Hon.
J. r. Randall of Duluth, to which we
desire to draw the attention of our
Minnesota readers. They are Of great
interest to all citizens of the state, and
we hope they will be passed at this
session Of the legislature.
One of the bills provides for the
appointment by municipal judges Of
probation officers whose duty shall be
to look after such persons as are found
guilty of misdemeanors but whose
sentences have been suspended by the
judges during good behavior. Such
petty criminals are required to report
in person at least once a week to the
probate officers. and If they fail to do
so, then said officers shall arrest and
take them before the trial judge who
shall commit them for the full term
of the original sentence.
On the other hand, If the misde-
meanants comply with the conditions
under which sentence was suspended
they will be discharged from custody
at the expiration of the sentence term.
and no further action shall lie against
them for the offense of which they
were found guilty.
This is undoubtedly a bill in the
right direction for the reformation of
petty offenders, and we hope our legis.
lators will give it their favorable con-
sideration. How much better it is to
deal with them in that way than to
send them to prison where they may
come in contact with hardened GRIM
inals and 60 from bad to worse. The
bill applies to cities of over 10000
inhabitants, and the municipal judges
are limited to the appointment of one
or two probation officers whose COM
pensatim shall not exceed $40 a
month.
The other bill relates to the refor-
nation Of persons addicted to intem-
perance and who are in danger of be-
coming public dependents. 1t pro.
vides for the creation of department
for the restraint and cure of the drink
