Urban Stock Farms.


Councilman Nordstrom thought the
council should take the bull by the
horns and require a general cleaning
poi the Third ward. He said he
knew an east ender who owned two
horses, four cows, million chickens
two million geese and other animals
and fowl that rightfully should wait
their end on some quiet farm, and that
the resident in question did business
on lot 75x10O. He told of the flies
that this ranch attracted-great flies,
as big as mans fist and as capable
of making war on the human race as
New Jersey mosquitoes. And he told
of the odor that went up from these
ranches. The odor was bigger than
the flies and more of an enemy to hu-
manity.
"Yes; I've been there too," Clipped
in Councilman Burns. "A day or two
ago 1t was necessary for me to pene-
trate the east end wilderness, and,
while l stayed as long as l could stand
it, l did not finish my work It's awful,
gentlemen; it's awful"
The discussion brought out the fact
that the people of the east end gen.
orally go in for dairying and chicken
and geese raising. If the man with the
geese has no pond in which to keep
them, he dams sewer and makes one.
Members of the council say an east
ender who doesn't own flock of geese
is ostracised from exclusive society. al
though in exceptional cases the Offend
ing party is excused by the elite If he
keeps six or eight horses and 10 or 12

cows on real small lot. This we'll es-
tablished custom the council must abb
olish if possible. and that's why coun-
cilmen look weary and downcast. The
health committee is wrestling with the
problem, and by the next meeting the
committeeman will either have commit
ted suicide or else formulated some
scheme for cleaning up the Third ward
More Trouble.
A resolution by Mr.. Burns for the
improvement of four blocks of Franklin
avenue, from Thirty-sixth street west,
resulted in another long discussion. 1t
seems that the owners of the property
on two blocks have already graded the
street in front of their property, and
they object to being included in the
entire district to be assessed for the
improvement, as the remaining two
blocks will require considerable filling.
The matter was referred to City At
torney Smith, who said 1t could be ad-
justed by the street assessors, as they
were authorized to make assessments
in accordance with the benefits accru-
ing to the interested property owners.
There is big hole to be filled on this
street and the land holders do not rel
ish the idea of paying for the work.
Fender Ordinance Passed.
The ordinance requiring street car
companies to provide cars with Hunter
drop tenders was passed last night
Two weeks ago it was held up by
councilmen who thought projecting
tenders should be used. Manager Cool
idge, of the A. E. Co., was present last
night and explained that all Of the
cities of Oergon used the Hunter fend-
er. He said the projecting fender was
imprac.icable in Astoria because of the
character of car used and the condition
of the streets. He believed the council
would make no mistake in passing the
ordinance, and the bill went through
without dissenting voice.
Mr.. McGuire's Speech.
Superintendent John MCGUIRE, of the
A. &. c., was there to defend the good
name of his company and tell the coun-
Gil what he knew about stopping cars
on crossings. He made very inter-
esting speech, in which he spoke of
the untiring efforts Of his department
to accommodate the people Of the city,
and, like Charlie Coolidge, completely
won over the council to his side. Mr..
Mcclure said he appreciated that DR..
Earle had cause for complaint because
Of his failure to reach his dock and
board the quarantine tug Electro, but
he was sorry the incident had occurred. |
He wanted to do just what the council
instructed him to do, but did not
want to be In the dark. He wanted the
council to let him know just what cros-
sings he could stop cars on. He told
of his company's great interest in AS
toria and its efforts TO make matters
for the merchants and man
ufacturers here, and In a great many
