THE OTHER ESSENTIAL.

For years the city of Astoria has been
in conspicuous need of two essential
utilities, fine modern hotel and an elec-
tric line over and around the hills that
constitute the backbone of the peninsula
upon which she is builded. The hotel is
an assured fact and is due to the enter
prise and public spirit of the trustees of
the Henry Weinhard estate, and when
it opens next year, will be in the first
class Of northwestern hostelries.
The other essential thing, the railway
over the crest and around the base of
the hill line, is still among the crying
wants of the city and must as certainly
materialize in the future. The urgency
of this thing is SO intimately understood
and appreciated locally, that it would
seem as though it were not necessary to
look to outside capital to carry it to
reality and that Astoria money would
take advantage of the opportunity to
entrench itself in what is known as one
of the chiefest and safest of all possible
investments here; but as this is appar-
emily hopeless, we must turn to the
financiers from abroad to broach the en-
terprise and take over the rich plum
that should be garnered at home. The
fact of the matter is, we do not care,
now, who shall get the franchise, SO
long as it is developed into actuality and
this badly wanted utility is given us.
The line need not stop at municipal
limits, and would not, in the general
nature of things, but its faculty for de-
velopment would make the southern
slope of the Astoria hills blossom into
veritable garden of home spots, and the
northern heights would swarm as read
lily with the same contributory elements,
not only for the building company, but
Ior tne city ltseH.
Warrenton would be. drawn into al
most instant touch with Astoria and the
venture would rebound to the enrich
ment of both places and start hundred
auxiliary enterprises that would ulti-
mately pay the cost of the original ven
ture. There is money, and lots of it, in
the project, and we hope to see some
"get-up-and'get" combination take hold
of it before long, that will push it to
fruition. We have jawed and dawdled
and lazied along with this big and sub
stantial thing long enougs and the sooner
some real, live concern, that knows a
good thing when it sees it, comes here
and does business, the better for them
and for the people who have stubborn.

Tha Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation Of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that de-
termines its duration, seems to be be-
tween 50 and go; the proper care OF the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then being
fatal to longevity. Natures best helper

priatln@ the sum Of $3o,000 for the work on the levee on the state farm.
 The Linwood and Auburn levee dis trlct was organized some 9 or 30 years ago and the lands included in the district surrounded the Cummins farm which is now the state convict farm. After the farm became the property of the state it was with drawn from taxation according to the provisions of the law concerning state property. Two years ago the levee district pledged it's revenue and lands to secure $i0O000 to be expended in the construction of better levee This new levee was built above and below the state farm, but the levee along the seven miles of the farms frontage on the river was not changed as the district had no right except by special provision of the legisla- ture to construct any work on the states property. It is now alleged that the levee along the farm is in bad condition and should flood of large proportions come, not only the state farm, but the lands lying farther down the river would be in danger of an overflow. The board for this req son asked the penitentiary board for the appropriation and the peniten- tiary board in turn has gone on rec ord as fayoring the movement. The passage of a bill appropriating the re quested amount would increase the amount that the state must yet pay on the farm from the $70,000, which it now owes, to $105,O0O

Appeared Before Board and Urged Ap- pr"priation = What file i.invood and Auburn Le,ec District Has Aceompiished-Bebi of State.

The untiring efforts of President Gus Waterman Of the Linwood and
 Auburn leyee district, have been re-
 Warded with what promises to be d liberal appropriation by the state for the improvement and maintenance of of the leVee on the Cummins. convict farm
 The Graphic urged that such an ap- propriation be made some months ago and has continually called the atten- ton Of the state authorities to the urgent necessity of repairing the
 levee and the states duty in caring for it annually.
 At a recent meeting of the state
 penltentlary board a resolution was
 adopted that may result in the state
 spending about $35,000 on the state
 farm in addition to the $7O,000 that
 Will become due on the original pur- chase price of the farm. This amount, if appropriated by the legislature in response to the resolution by the
 board advising an appropriations will be used for the improvement of the leyee now extending along the seven miles river frontage of the state farm
 The penitentiary board met in spa- cial session to consider the matter and the proposition was laid before the board by Gus Waterman of Dumas president of the Auburn and Linwood leyee district board of directors, and H. M. Armistead, special attorney for the board of directors The board aft ter considering the matter, adopted the following resolution:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of the board that the states property known as and embracing the Gum mins farm should bear it's fair pro rata share of the levee taxes for the and the maintenance of the levee in the Linwood and Auburn dis tricts: that is to say, that the real es- tate composing said propery should be chargeable in the same manner as other property in the district of like character, quality and value for levee taxes"
 Only one member of the peniten- tiary board voted against this resolu- tion-Attorney General Kirby. The members voting for the resolution were Acting Governor John l. Moore, A. E. Moore, Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig and Commissioner of Mines and Agriculture Guy B. Tucker. The board then adjourned subject to the call of the president.
 Following the action of the peniten- tiary board it is understood that the members of the levee board have had a bill drawn up which they will en- deavor to have introduced in the pres ent session of the legislature appro-

lAediately reduced it's ice to 15 cents per hundred pounds. The consumers company met the price and a lively fight for business re- suited. This fight continued up to few months ago, when the Con- sumers plant was suddently shut down for the winter months and re- paired. It recently resumed op- eratlon and with the turning of the wheels at the plant came the an- nouncement that the ice prices would be 40 instead of 15 cents per hundred pounds.
 The reports of the Consumers company shows that it made money, according to statement sent out by the company July 31, 1905. A new profit, it is said, was shown amounting to $1f,295.26.
 by the company in July, 1905. at the same time that profits were shown, follows:
 When We estimate the savin. that the people in the community have made on account of this fight it runs into large figures-much larger than most anyone would think for, and if the other com pany has sold the amount of ice and coal that we nave, the saving in the difference in price to the munity-fguring the price they purchased for against the price they paid before-same would be in ex- cess of S40,0OO.
 The directors and nagement regret the conditions that have ex- lsted and have done everything in their power to prevent fight and are in hopes that in the near fu- ture a satisfactory price can be obtained both for ice and coal.''
 A second statement in July, the following year, 1906, the net gain was placed at $12,964.9S. A. brief note at the foot of the statements sent out, reads:
 You are we'll aware of the war that has been waged on us since commencing operations, hence the board of directors feel that you need no further reasons given for the small gains made, and are glad 1t is on the right side, even if small. We hope for better condi- tiOns soOn."

GRAND JURY IS AFTER
 THE ICE COMPANIES

Consolidated Ice and Coal company; George H. Gammill, V. o. Alex ander, H. Bringman, Superintend- ent o. c. Scaeffer, J. M. Gazo and others were subpoenaed
 The two ice companies recently increased the price of ice from 15 to 40 cents per hundred pounds. The Arkansas and Texas company was the first to announce the in- crease. Two weeks later the Con- sinners came forward with the statement that ,.it would meet con- petition Immediately there were charges of a combination. The of hcials of both companies denied them in toto. President John F. Rutherford of the Consumers com pany, this morning stated that there was positively no combine be- tween the two ice companies
 We were losing money selling ice at Ia cents per hundred,' he said, and We decided to raise the price. That's all there is to it., Further than this Mr. Rutherford declined to discuss the matter.
 It is stated by some of the stockholders in the Consumers com pany that when they purchased stock in the company they were assured that the company would not sell ice for more than 30 cents per hundred pounds. At the time of the organization of the Con- sumers company the Arkansas and Texas Consolidated Ice and Coal company had monopoly on on the local business. 1t was selling ice for 35 to 50 cents per hundred and not less than 10 cents worth of Ice to any one person from it's wagons.
