BULK HEAD AND MAcADAM.

A petition is to be presented to
the council at its meeting on next
Monday evening by the property
owners asking that the proposed
improvement Of Eleventh street be
done by building bulk heads and
filling in the street with msca-
dam roadway. From estimates
made by City Surveyor A. I. Tea,
the cost Of building such a street
for one block, between Duane and
Exchange streets, is found to be
nearly two hundred dollars less
than If built with wood by the old
method. 1t is very probable that
the innovation will be adopted,
and that it will mark the beginning
of extensive future operations in
sluicing down the hills and filling
in the flats.

GRAND COURT GRAND SUCCESS

The meeting ofthe Grand Court
of Oregon, Foresters of America,
in Astoria this week represented
an expenditure in the city Of about
$500. Of this the Astoria
Court spent abOnt $1,000 in enter
tanning the visitors, and it is esti-
mated that not less than $500 was
spent by the delegates themselves,
AS the city paid nothing and re-
ceived much good advertising it is
the gamer by the sessions being
held here. The delegates were
loud in their praises of the city
and of their entertainers, proving
the management also to have beer
a success. The gentlemen who de
voted SO much time and hard work
to securing, preparing for, and en-
tertaining the grand court, are de
serving of general gratitude.

sist In the Services Of
the Order.

Astoria aerie Of Eagles will tomorrow
hold lbs Grst memorial services, and the
occasion will be rendered notable by the
presence Of Governor George II. Cham

address. The grand aerie Of Eagles, at
its last convention. set aside the third

accordance with the action OF the grand
serie.
II was the original intention Of the
local aerie to hold public service at the
hall. 10 which tho general public would
-be invited. bu, this determination was
altered. II was felt by many OF the nom
bers that services In honor Of the dead
should be private, and that II would be
much more advisable TO place tfe large
fund necessary for such services al the
disposal Of the sick and needy. This
view Of the matter was practically unan-
imous in the lodge, and Eagles only will
attend tomorrow's services. Governor
Chamberlain has expressed qualification
with the action OF tho local aerie. The
governor Ia averse TO any public demon
s.raiions In his honor. and the reception

CLATSOP TAXPAYERS
PAY UP PROMPTLY

Courthouse Source Of Pleas.
ure to Employees There.

Never before have the taxpayers Of Clat-
sop county been so prompt in the pay.
ment OF taxes as during the present year
The original roll turned over to Sheriff
Linvillefor collection amounted TO si34.-
Ai2 81, and, although taxpayers still have
ample time in which TO come to the front
with the money due the county, almost
the entire roll has been collected.
Deputy Sheriff Binder states that COL
lections up to Friday night, aggregated
$llS.5i7.62 Under the new law, tax
payers may pay their taxes in.two Install
ments, and the amount collected includes
many first payments. In all, there is
perhaps not more than 5000 unpaid at
tine present time, and 1t is estimated that
this years delinquent roll will not exceed
$1,000. Last years deliuquencies aggre-
gated 5000.
Since April Q the sheriff has been COLI
lecting penalties on all taxes paid in,
The penalty is 10 per cent, while the iu-
terest charge is y per cent per annum.
For ages past there have been few con-
veniences in the sheritf's office, aud re-
cords were kept on shelves beneath the
counters. The office Of the assessor has
been moved to the room adjoining
the sherifi's office, however. and the
county court will see to it that the big
vault in the assessors office is fitted up
for the convenience Of both officials. This
will make il possible for the sheriff to
keep his tax rolls in a convenient manner,
and the clerks in the Office are looking
forward with pleasure TO the improved
order OF things.
