nation and He VIII Take
the Portland Church.

At a meeting Of the congregation Of
the First Presbyterian Church held on
Sunday evening, the resignation Of
Rev. Henry Narcotic az pastor Of the
church was accepted. In opening the
meeting Mr.. Narcotic stated that IL
was his wish that the congregation
should unanimously accept his resig-
nation. as he believed the time had
come when change would be Of be-
nett to the congregation az well as to
himself He rejoiced in the fact that
the relations Of pastor and congre-
cation had always been cordial, and
said that wherever he might be called
upon to labor his interest in the AS
toria church would never cease, adding
the hope. that his experience here
would help him to better work in the
future.
Elder e. c. Holden briefly address,
ed the meeting, saying that no one
held Mr. Narcotic in higher esteem
than he, but that, in justice to the
pastor, the congregation should consent
to his leaving for a new field OF labor.
Mr.. Holden offered the following re-
solutions. which were unanimously adj
opted. ii
Whereas, The Rev. Henry Narcotic
after seven years Of a successful past
crate over the First Presbyterian
church Of Astoria, during which time
he has endeared himself to his church
and congregation by his earnest and
devoted efforts to promote the welfare
and prosperity Of the church and the
extension OF the kingdom Of the Lord,
Jesus Christ. has rendered his resigna-
ton and now asks the members to join

Resolved. That, while we deeply re-
gret the severance OF the pastoral tie
that has SO closely and harmoniously
bound pastor and people together for 50
many years, yet, believing that by
OF Divine Providence our
beloved pastor has been called of God
to labor In the cause Of the Master In
a larger field. and that under the cir
the Astoria church would
not be justified in Withholding its con-
sent, therefore, be it further

the request of the Rev. Narcotic. this

As has been previously stated. Mr..
Narcotic will remain in Astoria at
least until the new church is dedicated
some time during the coming month.
He is to accept the pastorate OF the
Presbyterian church of

THE REPORT CANE STRAIGHT
A. & C. Officials Know Nothing
of RumOred Vandalism.

officials Of the Astoria & Columbia
River Railroad aver that they have not
been informed Of any attempts to
wreck trains on the west side, and are
Inclined to regard the reported vandal-
ism with skepticism.
The report of the attempted train
wrecking came straight to The Asto-
rlan from source which cannot we'll
be doubted. The informant was well
known woman resident of Hammond,
and she stated positively that the at
tempts were made to wreck the trains.
The spot where the distractions were
piled on the track is not 100 yards from
her home, and she was one of the per-
sons disturbed during the night by the
rowdies who visited the little town.
1t is singular indeed that, If there Isl
no truth in the story, officers from FIT,
Stevens should have made investiga-
tion of the premises, and quite as sim
gular that the fence railing from the
Cunningham place should have been
piled on the track. These incidents
and the absolute reliability of the in
formant are considerations altogether
too significant to justify fiippant dis
missal as absurd of the idea of at
tempted trainwrecking.
The Astorian is quite willing to di-
vulge to officials of the railroad COM
pauy the manner in which 1t came into
possession of the information published
on Sunday morning. and the truth Of
which it has not yet had occasion to
doubt, except as to the statement that
the officials of the road had been ac-
quainted with the circumstance and
had duly reported the matter to the
officers at Fort Stevens, 1t also wishes
to disclaim any intention of attempt-
ing to slander the enlisted men at the
post, who will be thoroughly vindicated
by proof that the reputed effort to
wreck the trains was never made.

VOTER WANTED TO REGISTER
Made Application About Six
Months Ahead of Time.

The first man to make application to
register called at the Office Of County
Clerk Clinton yesterday afternoon.
lie met County Judge Trenchard in the
hallway and told him that he was aIlx-
ious to get his name on the registration
book, and the judge, with keen eye
for the humorous. referred the man to
the clerk. Mr.. Clinton tod him that
there was no county election for eight
months to come and that he could not
register now. \ The man said he had
nothing else to do yesterday afternoon,
so thought he'd register. He promised
to call when the books were opened and
observe the necessary legal formality
that is required of voters.
While the man who called at the
court house yesterday was about six
months too early. the officials would
like to encourage the disposition among
voters generally. Elections come
around and hundreds of men have neg
lected to register, despite the insistent
urgings of the press and the exhorta-
tions of the stump speakers and ward
workers. This indifference creates end
less trouble on election day, There will
soon be city election and the registra-
tion books win be open from November
2 to December 5, inclusive. A full city
ticket is to be chosen. but 1t will re-
quire the combined efforts of oil public
agencies to get IS per cent of the voters
to register. Surprising as It may ap-
pear, many voters are actually too
timid to call at the public offices. The
timid ones should bear In mind that
courage is positively not one of the
qualifications, and that there is moth |
ing in the formality savoring of an or

One of Jacob Riis great public bene-

the sbrewdness and intelligence OF the
man. Rils picked up in the health de-
partment one day the weekly analysis
of me Croton water and read "a trace
of nltrites." what are nitritesT he
asked. Getting an eyasiye answer, he
went OF and found out what nitrites
were and published the news, explain
ing that they meant sewage contamina-
ton and advising the people to boil the
water Then while the other papers
were poohpoohing the news he went up
throueh the Croton watershed with a
camera and took pictures Of towns sew
ering into the streams, public dumps
ON their banks. people and animals
washing in the water. lie made good
his case. The other papers belittled
the conditions, saying running water
puwines itself. But Riis inquired how
long it took the water 10 come down
from the worst town, sixty miles away.
The answer was four days. He asked
the experts how long a cholera germ
might live In running water. Seven
days" was tse answer. New York had
to buy up that watershed, and the cost
ran into the millions But Riis had his
"beat" and New York has pure water.
