COMMUNICATION.

"Asloria, Aug. IL, 1907.
Editor Astorian:-Will you, through
your paper enquire if Street Superin-
tendent kearney has the same authority
to enforce property owners along i'm
proved streets, to remove dirt and grass
which is covering the paved sidewalks
and the trees which are allowed to grow
over to such an extent that on rainy
days pedestrians must walk in the
middle of the street to avoid the wet
branches-as he has to order the wood
piles removed.
@If the proper authorities will walk
from Twelfth to Seventeenth streets on
the south side of Grand avenue they will
get an idea of the duty they have to
perform in order to make clean streets
IL Astoria.
Most commendable indeed is the en-
forcement Of the removal of the wood
piles, but it is just as necessary to en-
force the keeping in proper condition our
new paved streets and not allow grass
and over-grown unkept trees to obstruct
the walks.
A PROPERTY OWNER.
The attention OF Superintendent OF
Streets Kearney was called to the above
communication last 'evening and
he stated that it was a fact
that he had the same authority
as in the matter of the wood piles. He
has already ordered several property
owners to clear up the street but hi:
orders have not been complied with. Tht
lines of Grand avenue between thost
blocks are in confusion and until these
lines are Strengthened out and legal diff
iculties of property owners adjusted Lit
tie can be done by the superintendent
Bulkheads will be built along lots whel
lines are made and much of the troubl,
removed. Superintendent Kearney vii
do all that he can legally do to cor
rect the matter.

INQUEST HELD.
Result Of Inquiry by Coroner's Jury in
Death of c. E. Avery.

A coroner's inquest was held yester
day afternoon into the cause of the
death of c. Z. Avery. The jury, which
was composed of G. 0. Moen, VIM.
Deuch, A. E. Ross, P. Lawler, X. Osborn
and F. P. Gardiner returned the follow
ing verdict:
'We, the undersigned jurors, sworn
to inquire into the cause Of death Of
G. E. Avery, on oath do find: That he
came to his death at Astoria, Oregon, on
August IA, 1907, and that his death was
caused from shock, resulting from his
having been run over by locomotive
of the Sorenson Logging Company or
August l3, 1907, near Svensen, Oregon
while in the employ Of said Sorenson
Logging Company"
The body was shipped to Lents last
night. Yesterday the employs at the
logging camp raised a subscription OF
5000 which was presented to the widow
of the unfortunate man.

ish violation Of the commonest laws OF
navigation and trade,
And the greatest hopes are laid upon
the future operations of the Hill roads,
the fact that the Hill interests have
recently purchased the Astoria and Co
lumbia road being construed into an in
tention by that megnate OF taking all
foreign freight on his North Bank road
direct to Astoria for shipment by sea,
This Is the Astoria forecast and It's
people are as certain II win come to
pass as that the years will roll by, and
whether it Is ever realized or not II
gives loyal determination to its people
to forge ahead that Of itself means much
to its advancement in population and
wealth."
Continuing the article, he gives fine
short history of the city and its points
Of interest; speaks of It's population, and
says,
astoria claims to be the second city
in the state in point of population,
though, as Is the ease with all ambi'
tioas cities, II may have reached
itself in placing the figures at anywhere
between twelve and fifteen thousand.
The fact Is, is population varies more
than that Of any city in Oregon, During
the fishing season there are possibly sew
eral thousand more people than at other
times. There arc those among the older
citizens who do not hesitate to declare
that fully one.half Of the population OF
Astoria Is composed Of Russian Firms.
But ii can be said for the Firms that
they are as law-abiding as are the na.
tive born Americans and their children
attend the public schools, speaking flu.
emily both the Russian and English
tongue.
There are many hundreds Of these
Russian families owning their homes and
in scores OF instances have erected dwell.

dollars each, surrounded with beautiful
flowers and thrifty gardens. The women
care for the homes while the men are
absent during the fishing season drifting
either in or out with the tide in search
of the world.renowned chinook salmon"
In concluding his very readable ar.
ticle. he writes:
Something more Of Astoria and its
industries will be said In a subsequent

MODERN FREAK RELIGIONS.

The Holy Jumpers" are the latest
declared freaks in the grave matter of
rt tliyion and from all accounts they are
a bit freakier than the Holy Rollers.
Wisconsin has the distinction OF prcduc'
ing this new cult and she may have all
the honor there is to be gatherNi and
the entire personnel OF the group, as far
as we are concerned.
These people demonstrate their re-
ligious impulses and exercise their fer
yor by frantic jumping and wild gestieu'
lation accompanied by running exhor-
tations and quotations from scripture,
and. of course, lay emphatic claim to
direct inspiration, heavenly authority
and all the color of sanctiied power
They are simply another freak ex-
preston OF the Christian belief and do
| it no particular credit, but rather be-
cloud and disparage it by conspicuously
strenuous and riotous rites that sean
nothing whatever, since they are the
outward representation of distorted
and semi,insane conception of deeply
serious and beautiful tradition.
The world is far too full Of such peo'
pie and every access to their numbers
hut casts the noble doctrines deeper in.
to the mire OF disuse and contempt and
contributes no atom to the code Of
sanetity the original dogma was sup
posed to inspire and perpetuate. 1t is
too bad there is no loop-hole for effec-
tive interference in the exemption en-
ioyei by these people on the authority
of the American Constitution.

TT. Geer Writes Interesting
Article on Astoria.
WAS A VISITOR RECENTLY
Tho Editor OF the Pendleton Tribune
Publishes tho Results Of His 0bserva-
tions Here While on q visit--will
Publish Another Article.

Editor I. I, Geer. Of the pendletou
Tribune, who was q recent visitor tc
Astoria, has a very interesting and COM
plimentary article in the issue of his
paper of August 18th about Astoria,
Mr., Geer has always been known as a
clear and forceful writer whose opinions
bear weight and his observations while
here and his good descriptions OF the
same are in keeping with his reputation
Mr. Geer made study of the history
and conditions OF Astoria when in this
city and very clearly sets them forth in
the article. We regret that limited space
prevents the publication Of the entire ar
ticle but we Gull from IL several OF the
many interesting paragraphs;
IF devotion to the growth Of city
eventually result in its permanent ad-
yancement,' he says, "then Astoria will
continue to require larger place on the
map OF Oregon as the years go by in
their never.ending journey. The Astorian
easily recognizes the future shipping SUI
premacy of his town and at all times
stands ready to demonstrate that Port
lands claim to being the seaport city OF
Oregon is based upon violation OF all
the commercial laws known to the his.
tory of cities and nations.
ut is no part of the intention OF the
writer of this article to take issue with
either Portland or Astoria upon their
rival claims but it is proper and ad-
missible to say that Astoria contends

HIGHWAY SIGNS.

While public interest is busy with
good roads, their building, equipment,
maintenance, etc, We ask to record a
CRYING need on modern roads and beg
that it be not forgotten in the work
that is being projected; and that Is, that
the roads, from one end to the other,
be supplied with plain, conspicuous
signs, telling the wayfarer just where ne
or she is at any given moment OF the
day or night and making travel that
n.uch simpler, easier and more pleasur'
able
1t is Just as essential that country
roads shall have these indicia, as
the streets of the town or city whittier
the user of that road is bound, OF
when he or she may have come. They
serve the same purpose, that OF telling
one just where they are, how far they
have come. the distance yet to travel
and give room for all sorts OF handy
calculations and deductions the traveller
needs, especially the travelling stranger
The keeping up of such signs on a
county road tells of the up-to-dateness
OF the county people about one and gives
a good and welcome impression to the
intelligent and appreciative wayfarer
And the chief feature Of such informa-
ton should be the distances, in every
direction, and the names of the next and
nearest towns Or places Of public enter
tainment. There is everything to urge
the use of this plan and everything to be
gained by the county officers and priv
ate citizens whose public spirit so mani
tests itself. Put Clatsop in line!

WHAT OF CIVILIZATION?

A well-to-do, elderly, and presumably
respectable, English couple, alleged to
belong to fine family, are travelling in
Italy; they have companion, woman,
with whom they have dispute over
the sum of 500; the man Of this group
loses his temper during the controversy
and plunges knife into the neck of the
disputatious companion, killing her in
stantly, brutally, savagely, coarsely; the
wife, a witness and party to the tragedy,
discusses the situation with her guilty
husband; assists him to dismember the
body of the murdered woman; to pack
the smaller fragments into suitcase,
the torse into trunk, and the couple
calmly continue their continental jour
ney; and, simply because they forget
to drain away the blood of the victim
from the carefully slowed remains in
the trunk 1.-THE emanations from which
gave the cue to the police authorities)
they would have sunk the remains in
the open sea and passed on to peace and
quietude and the exemplary course in
life they had marked out; the world
ncne the wiser for the hideous crime Of
which they were guilty. These deadly
facts are CLEANED from Marseilles and
Monte Carlo, on the Mediterranean, and
are given to the reading world authen-
tically.
They must compel the mental query
iii every well-balanced mind, "What Of
modern civilization, when things like this
can occur? And the answer is the same
old fierce and deathless truism: Civili-
zation has not, and never will lay the
original beast in man! Glaze it, hamper
it, hedge it, perhaps; but destroy it.

FORBID HOUSES OF WOOD.
New York Authorities Extend Strict
Fire Regulations to Suburb.

New York.-A plan to stop building
Of wooden houses in the suburbs, the
only sections of Greater New York
where such building is now permitted,
has been approved by the building
code revision commission by its ac-
ton in voting to extend the fire limits
so as practically to cover the entire
greater city,
The commissions recommendation
must be passed upon by the board OF
aldermen, and hard fight is prom.
ised when the board is ready for ac-
tion, as builders and outlying land
owners say the move will stop rural
home building and drive thousands OF
persons from the city.
Fire Chief Croker Is the author Of
the plan, and he is backed up by the
board of fire underwriters. Croker i'm
pressed upon the commission that they
were fixing fire lines not only for tht
present, but for at least ten years t.
come, and that before the end of tina
time districts which are now sparsel.
settled will be thickly built up. A fir
In one of these districts, 1t was ar
gued, might result In the destruction

WOODEN LEGS PROVE PERIL.
Also Prove Blessing to Aged Man Who
10 Stuck In Mud.

Indianapolis, Ind-Fletcher McClain,
65 years old, was saved and also held
prisoner by his two wooden legs when
he fell from a bridge with the horse
and buggy he was driving.
McClain fell apart from the horse
and buggy and shot downward, fee
pegs" foremost, the wooden pedals
penetrating the muck knee" deep.
And there he stuck, saved from injury,
but quite helpless.
There was no one within hailing
distance and the old man pulled and
pulled and pulled. Finally persever-
ance won. With loud smack the
right foo-"peg" came again to the
upper air. The other followed and
McClain stumped off to bed mile
away, leaving his horse and buggy
McClain lives near the Columbus
Traction line. He was following the
right of way when he came upon two
bridges. Unable to decide in the
darkness which was for cars and
which for the rigs he chose the wrong
one. The accident followed. Later
In the morning the police arrived II
answer to a summons and found onl,
the injured horse, wrecked vehicle
and two holes in the ground where hi
fee-"pegs" had beon.
