TO HOLD THE COUNCIL.
RESPONSIBLE
MR.. WARREN FILES A COM.
MUNIcATIoN IN RELATION
THE TO IRVING SLIDE.

| Formal announcement was served
upon the city council yesterday by
tn L. Warren that he will hold the
city liable for the damages resulting
to his property from the Irving
slide.
This statement was fled with The
city auditor and will be presented 10
the council al the next meeting Of
that body. Mr. Warren states that
a part Of his property has already
been ruined" and that there is
danger that the other lot and the
house upon Il will also be ruined
The communication is as follows:
u desire 10 again cali your atten-
tion to the fll on Irving avenue in
front Of and adjacent to lot II, block
%, and in front OF and adjacent to
block ~, all In Shiyely's Astoria. As
you are aware, | am the owner Of
the above-described property.
The whole Of said block "a has
been entirely ruined, caused BY the
unskilful, careless and negligent
manner Of making such Improvement
and the careless, negligent and un-
skilful manner Of making said fiji.
Lot l2 in said block 23 has been
damaged in many thousands Of dol
liars, and unless immediate precau.
tions are taken in skiIful and care
ful manner this lot viii also be en-
tirely ruined together with the build
ing on Ii.
i therefore take this opportunity
to again notify you that ! shall hold
the city OF Astoria responsible for all
damages to said property heretofore
occurring, as we'll as all damages
thereto that may herafter occur.
u trust you viii take all necessary
means to prevent further damage"
This communication from Mr..
Warren was written on the letter
paper OF Fulton Bros, the attorneys,
who evidently are acting for Mr..
Warren's interests in the matter.
Judging from the statements Of city
officials and members Of the council
nothing further is likely to be done
on any great scale to prevent dam.
age by the slide, except as one or
t@o men may be kept there to keep
the sluices from filling up. While the
council has several times evinced a
desire to give aid in the trouble, no
clear way to do so seems to have
presented itself, That the Warren
communication indicates litigation
seems probable, and if the state
ments Of other property owners may
be accepted as true, they also are
contemplating the same litigious
step.

Splendid Concert Excursion-

Splendid Concert Excursion
On Thursday morning at 10
o'clock there will leave this city for
Skamokawa and Cathlamet, one Of
the most interesting excursions Of
the year, under the auspices of the
Norwegian Singing Society. That
fine body of singers accompanied
and assisted by Miss Esther Sund-
quist, as violin soloist, will charter a
steamer (probably one Of the Bah
bidge fleet) and will give the first Of
two splendid concerts, at Skamo-
kawa, at ESQ o'clock in the after
noon, going thence to Cathlamet in
time to repeat the concert there in
the evening and return home within
reasonable hours. And the beauty
of the program lies in the modest
charge of 50 cents, which covers the
round-trip and both concerts; sure
ly the most reasonable charge ever
made for such a generous deal II
cannot possibly fail of patronage
under the circumstances of the ex-
ceptional talent indicated, the prime
outing the trip affords, and the re-
markable and modest price quoted,
and the manifold pleasures it prom
ises.

Those canvasbaek Ducks

There Is a funny little yarn going
the rounds anent q pair of plump
canvasback ducks. sent down on the
steamer Lurline on Monday night
by an up.river friend Of a certain
well known jurist Of this city; and
which by mischance, drifted into the
apartment Of a popular travelling man
al the Hotel Northern, by the same
name as the original donee, and who
concluded that some kind friend had
been peculiarly solicitous for his
comfort, and promptly took the birds
over the Imperial restaurant and had
them deIieiously cooked, subsequent-
ly enjoying them to the last frag-
ment On his return to his rooms, a
telephone call informed him that he
had eaten another mans ducks, and
panied as the drummer was at the in,
advertance, he was compelled to ad-
NIT the impossibility OF making good
on the error, and the incident closed
with his departure the next morning,

The Saloon Men

It was stated yesterday by one Of
the saloonkeepers in the restricted
district that Of 10 certain saloon
keepers there II are not for Mr.,
Smith for the mayoralty, but are for
the Republican ticket. The state-
ment made by certain of Mr., Smiths
followers that out Of the AZ saloons
in the city at present, 81 are for the
Democrat nominee met with vigor-
ous protest yesterday. First of all
II was denied that the saloons are
lined Vp for the Democrat leader,
and moreover it was stated that the
saloon men are not mixing in with
politics in any effort to bring about
an open town The intelligent men
seem to recognize the fact that this
would be storing up a wrath to come,
1t looks as il the saloonmen are go-
ing to vote Just as other intelligent
citizens and property owners do,
each after his own convictions.

Athletic Club


At special meeting of the Ath-
letic club directors last night the
question of the eligibility of some
four or Ave applicants was consider
ed, and it is understood that GER
tain few have been considered, and it
is understood that a certain few have
been rejected for reasons that were
deemed proper. The meeting Of the
directors was held with Mr.. Prael, in
the Office Of the Astoria Box Com
pany. The directors approved the
purchase of the billiard and pool
tables made by the committee on
furnishings, and also Of the purchase
of the corpets and other furnishings,
So deep has been the interest taken
in the establishment Of the club by
many citizens that on every side
have been heard words of encourage
ment, and many have even gladly
donated money, 1t was stated last
night BY one of the directors that
the aggregate sum of $3.50 has been
donated, considerable portion Of
which came in $50 checks, Much Of
this came from people who will not
personally use the athletic club, but
who felt that an institution which
meant so much for the youth Of the
city should be encouraged,
