PRIMARY LAW
IS DEFECTIVE
Under lis Terms Practically All
Voters Are at Least Tempo.
rarily Disqualified.

The direct primary law is proving all
and more than even the most fanciful
OF the dreamers claimed for II. The
law not only absolutely prohibits In
dependent voters from expressing their
choice at primaries, but under It's terms
practically every voter In the state of
Oregon Is disqualified from exercising
his right to vote ut the primaries to be
held between this date and the date
when relief Is afforded by the legisla-
ture. The defect was discovered at
Portland yesterday,
The provision In the primary law
which has caused this latest trouble
reads as follows:
mo elector shall be qualified to vote
nor permitted to vote at any such pri-
mary nominating election required by
this law. and II shall be unlawful for
him to offer to do so. unless ne shall
be registered AS above required as a
membef OF one Of the political parties
choosing and nominating It's candi-
dates for public office under the pro-
visions OF this law at such nominating
election"
In plain English (which does moi,
characterize the law), this clause
means that no voter shall be permit
ted to vote at q primary election un-
less he shall have first registered at
the Office OF the county clerk and regis
tered as a member OF the political par
ty democratic or republican, to which
he claims allegiance. The registration
books will be sent to the polls. and no
man will be allowed to vote unless
those books show that he has registered
and has declared his political faith.
Now. men who voted at the last
state and county election. In June. have
already registered. The registration
books have just been opened again by
the various county clerks, but only for
the purpose of registering those voters
who did not register for the June elec-
tion. The books will be open for only
80 days. The men registering during
the 80 days will declare their polIti-
cal faith. but the men who registered
for the June election did not do so. and
consequently will not be permitted to
vote at the fall primaries. Indeed. un-
less the forthcoming legislature passes
a new bill, all those cities and towns
holding elections before June, 1906. will
be up against the provisions OF the d.
rect primary law.
w. s. U'Ren and Thomas G. Greene,
who were instrumental In the framing
Of the law, are now considering this
particular feature of 1t, and probably
will dream way out Of the dilemma
In which they have placed the mis-
guided voters of the state of Oregon,

A movement is on foot to organize
an orchestra of southern Oregon musi-
clans to play at the Lewis and Clark
fair in Portland next year. Prof. F.
II. Applehoff, director of the Roseburg
orchestra, is at the head of the move-
ment. He is now corresponding with
a number of musicians living In Oregon
towns south OF Roseburg with a view
to interesting them In the proposition.
1t is proposed to limit the instrumental

Has Instructed Committee to
Investigate Manner Of Conduct
OF La Tosca Saloon.
LICENSE MAY BE REVOKED
City Engineer Is Criticised BY
MIR. Lebeck, But Defended
BY Messrs. Belland and
Nordstr0nI.

At the adjourned meeting OF the
council last evening the committee on
health and police was instructed to
investigate the manner In which the
La Tosca saloon is conducted and re-
port to the council. The proposal was
brought up in the shape Of a reso-
luton. which was introduced by Coun-
Gilman Lebeck and adopted by vote Of
all Of the members present, Messrs,
Belland, Hansen, Kaboth, Lebeck,
Leinenweber. Morton and Nordstrom,
The resolution follows:
BE 1t resolved by the common coun-
ell of the city of Astoria, That the COM
mittee on health and police be and
the same is hereby directed to inves-
tigate the facts and report at the next
meeting Of the council as to whether
or not the La Tosca saloon is or has
been conducted as an orderly house
under the ordinance licensing bar
rooms and drinking shops and places
where liquors are sold"
The action Of the council Is the out
come Of the case of Lighthouse" Nell
son. who is now serving 100 days in
the city Jail for disgraceful conduct.
The case provoked much unfavorable
comment and members of the police
commission took cognizance of it. AS
to whether or not the proprietors Of the
saloon should be made to suffer for
the incident is questioned, but 1t is
felt by city officials that steps should
be taken to prevent recurrence of the
outrage.
II the committees report is unfavor-
ably, the license of the saloon may be
revoked.
Councilman Lebeck has lately de-
veloped into a reformer on mild
scale, and has brought up the question
of the right of a liquor dealer to do
business under license issued to- an
other person. A few days ago Charles
F. Wise bought the Wigwam saloon
from R. ]. Owens. Mr.. Owens license
has not yet expired. but under the law
Mr.. Wise would be required to secure
a new license, that issued to Owens
expiring when he sold his place Of
business. However, it has been the
practice to permit the purchaser to
continue to do business under the old
license, but Mr.. Lebeck says 1--WE need
the money" and therefore is trying to
bring about enforcement of the law.
City Attorney Smith is now investi-
eating this question and will report at
the next regular meeting.
City Engineer Criticised.
City Engineer Tee, who is Ill, came
in for some criticism at last nights
meeting, and also was stoutly defended
by councilmen. Monday night Mayor
Surprenant called attention to tine fact
that fill was necessary at the site OF
the new city hall and said the work
could be done cheaply If done at once
1t was agreed that plans for the fill
ought to be prepared. Last night Mr.,
Lebeck wanted to know If the mat

formed that plans had not been fled,
'Td like to know why the surveyor
doesn't attend to his business" de-
elared Mr., Lebeck. we can seldom
get any information from his Office, 1t
seems to me the office should be con-
Quoted in husinesslike manner Tais
ill must be made some time, and con-
siderable money can be saved the city
IL it Is made now"
MIR. Belland declared that the prac-
tice of roasting the city surveyor had
grown upon some members Of the
council. and that the engineer was
often unjustly censured. He pointed
cut that there was no definite instruc-
ton to the engineer at the previous
meeting. and that the fault rested WITH
the council, and not with Mr.. Tee. MI.
Belland said further that Mr.. Tee was
too III to be at his Office and very
plainly intimated that he did not ad-
mire "roasts" under such circum-
stances. Mr.. Nordstrom expressed a
similar view. He added that Mr. Tee.
alone of Astoria's engineers. had put
the office in shape. and that 1t was
now possible to secure information
there.
A resolution directing the surveyor
to prepare the plans was then drawn
and adopted.
Ordinance is Corrected.
A new ordinance providing for the
Of Franklin avenue was
introduced and passed under suspen-
sion of the rules The ordinance pror-
vides for an Improvement that will not
run through the sliding ground at tne
west end of the Improvement district.
Resolutions providing for a drainage
system in the east end were called up,
but went over for two weeks because
OF the objections raised to the work.
An ordinance accepting the improves
ment of Thirty-sixth street from Du-
ane street to Franklin avenue was
passed under suspension of the rules.
but an ordinance to accept the i'm
provement of Franklin avenue from
the west line of Adair's Astoria to
sixth street was laid over. A
against acceptance OF
this street was filed last night by
property owners. who declare they will
not pay their assessments because the
street has not been improved accord
ing to the ordinance. The protest has
been referred to the street committee.

May Report Today.

1t is expected that the grand jury
will report today to the court, although
1t may not succeed in finishing the
work before it, The grand jury usual
ly examines the hospital. city and coun-
ty jails and all criminal cases on the
docket, and occasionally finds 1t ex-
pedient to report upon conditions ex-
listing in city and county. Just how
far along the jury has succeeded in
getting could not. of course, be learned,
but 1t is expected to report some time
during today's session. The criminal
docket comprises five offenders, Wal
ter Hubert. charged with rape, having
been arrested on Sunday. The jury
has been taking evidence in the case
of the state against Willie Cook, but
whether or not 1t had been decided to
indict the lad is not known.

quired number. Mrs. Grimberg Is SUI
ing the packers for $500 for the death
Of her husband, who was killed by fall
ing from the rigging OF a ship under
charter to the corporation. She al
leges that the negligence OF the asso-
citation was responsible for the death

The difficulty in securing Jurors re-
suits from the fact that the damage

to agree upon a verdict and were dis
charged. Now the case will be fought
over again.

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire at night
is the brassy cough Of Group, which
sounds like the children's death knell
and it means death unless something is
done quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar
never fails to give instant relief and
quickly cures the worst forms of Group.

says: my three year old girl had a Sc
we're case of Group; the doctor said she
could not live. | got a bottle of Foley's
Honey and Tar, the first dose gave quick
relief and saved her life" Foley's Hon.

ing cough, contains no opiates, and
cures quickly. Careful mothers keep it
in the house. Refuse substitutes. Sold

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have 8
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the free
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This remedy liquefies the tough muccs
and causes its expulsion from the all
cells of the lungs, produces a free ex.
pectoration, and opens the secretions,
A complete cure soon follows. This
remedy will cure a severe cold in less
time than any other treatment and il
leaves the system in a natural and
healthy condition. 1t counteracts any
tendency toward pneumonia. For salt

A report from MillVille says: "City
Council a month ago appointed ap-
praisers to investigate and settle upon
a price for the Peoples Water com
pany's franchise, which the city desires
to purchase. After going over the
ground the sum has been set at about
$500, 900. AS the cost of installing the
plant does not amount to one-third OF
this sum, Council stands aghast at the
amount of the appraisement. With
the tax rate raised and the floating in.
debtedness of the city increased yearly,
the project of putting the question be-
fore the taxpayers for purchasing the
plant will undoubtedly be a loser. II
was the opinion hat the price would
not exceed $l50,000 and Council is
perplexed as to what move to make
