ASKING BEACH OWNERS
TO PAY A LITTLE
IF THEY REFUSE NEW ELEc-
TRIO LINE WILL BE RoUT-
ED ELSEWHERE.

The executive committee of the
Oregon Coast Railway Company, the
subsidiary organization formed in
connection with the projected electric
line to Seaside and Tillamook, have
adopted the following resolution:
THAT the executive committee, Of
the Oregon Coast Railway Company,
be and Empowered to extend the line,
and continue the work Of surveying
and securing the necessary rights Of
way, for an electric line Of railway,
from Seaside to Elk Creek and Can
non Beach, in the same manner. and
with the same powers, under which
they are now completing this work
from Astoria to Seaside.
provided, however, That before
such survey shall be undertaken by
said executive committee, the Elk
Creek and Cannon Beach, property
owners, and property owners along
this proposed right Of way, must
come in for their share and subscribe
for the balance Of the unsubscribed
stock OF this corporation, amounting
to 100 shares, thus completing the full
subscription to the $4,000 capitaliza-
ton
The resolution explains itself. The
executive committee is composed OF
George H. George, H. G. Van Dusen
and Z. z. Ferguson II is said that
while the property owners at Cannon
Beach and in the adjacent districts
thereto are very anxious to have the
line, yet apparently they are not as
anxious to give their share toward
helping out with the preliminary ex-
penses. The resolution therefore
calls upon them to take up the rest Of
the shares OF stock, 100 shares.
amounting to $1,000, and if the Can
non Beach and Elk Creek property
owners do not lend their aid in the
manner that is expected Of them II is
said the line will be routed in a diff
ferent direction. Astoria men have
already raised $4,000 less this $1,000
that is still required, and it is thought
only fair that this comparatively small
amount of $1,000 should be raised by
the people along the beach.
If not, the line will go back of these
places on what is called the inside
route, which is said to be a prefer
able route anyway, when the line is
sent forward towards Tillamook.

APPLICANTS MUST GET|
BUSY AT ONCE
FOR CHIEF OF POLICE JOB Al
FORMAL APPLICATION
MUST BE FILED WITH
THE AUDITOR.

Acting Chief Of Police Obcrg took
the oath Of Office yesterday and also
filed his requisite bond in the sum Of
$1,000, with r. A. Stokes and 4. z.
Ferguson an sureties
While il is understood that there
are at least four or five candidates for
the position which MI. Obcrg is now
temporarily filling, no one OF them
has made application for the place in
the manner that the application must
be made II il Is TO be formally consid-
cred by the police commissioners.
Blanks are prepared for all such APP
plications.
The applicant must first state, all
the filling in being in his own hand
writing, and on oath, that he is able
to read and write the English Ian
guage with facility and ease" He
must be citizen, and in good health
and OF good moral character, and a
certificate Of good health mdst also
be procured. Two citizens must state
their belief in the applicants good
moral character This formal appli-
cation must then be filed with the city
auditor, Mr.. Anderson, who is clerk
Of the commission.
Clark Loughery, former chief Of
police, presented an application to the
commission. but it was not formally
made out and apparently others
among the candidates did not even go
to the extent OF making any kind of
an application, save that they or some
OF their friends had informally made
known their desires to one or more
members of the police commission.
That Acting Chief Oberg will be a
candidate for the chieftaincy is deem
ed highly probable, and some of his
friends are already urging him as a
desirable candidate. There are at
least three OF the patrolmen now on
the force who may be considered as
candidates, namely, Oberg, and Pa
trolman Houghton and Patrolman
Linville, who made fine record as a
peace officer while he was sheriff OF
Clatsop county. All of these are
finely experienced and any one Of
them would probably prove well
qualified for the place by reason Of his
long experience. OF course Former
Chief Clark Loughery is not lacking
in the required experience, and this
leaves only one avowed candidate,
Captain Tatton, who has not had any
experience worth mentioning as a
peace officer, Among the members of
the force there seems to be feeling,
though not openly expressed, that no
matter who gets the appointment it
ought by right be man who has won
his call to the place by reason OF ex-
perience on the Astoria force.

Narragansett, Pier, r. l., July 22.-
Although no definite announcement
has been made to that effect it is be-
lieyed that the national monetary COM
mission has completed the preliminary
stages of preparation for their consid-
Grafton of plans for currency legisla-
ton and that at todays sessions the
active discussion of the subject will
be begun. Informal talks among the
members have served to give each a
general idea of the work to be accom-
plished, and with the first progress 90
ward a discussion of the needs OF the
axistinp legislation and desirable reme-
dies. it is believed that the entire
financial system of the country can be
oyerhauled and suggestions made for
the drafting of legislation calculated
to solve all possible financial crises
in the future.
That the active work of the commits
sion is really at hand is evidenced by
the announcement of the coming or

A Hundred thousand Cars Put In

Washington, July 22.-That business

man Knapp Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, who bases his
opinion OH the reports he has had from
railroad men throughout the country.
"All the railroad men with whom |
discuss this matter" he says. assure
me that business conditions are i'm
proving SO rapidly that they will soon
have use for all their cars and that
demand far greater than the supply
may be expected within the next few
months. Fewer cars and locomotives
are lying idle now than at any time III
the last nine months. This is before the
crops are harvested, and when there
is usually no great demand for ears.
After the harvest, when farmers and
everybody else will be endeavoring to
make up for lost time, I am inclined to
believe that the railroads, which have
been getting along with as few repairs
and cars as possible, will be forced
to exert themselves to the limit in or

MISS FANNIE HOOD DEAD.

The sad intelligence reached here this morn ng of the death of Miss Fannie Hood at 5:3O near Emmet. She had been in feeble health for some time. Dropsy was the immediate cause of her death, but she had cancer for several years that is thought to have aggravated the trouble. Miss Fannie was a niece of Ed Hood, our sheriff, and lived with him and his mother since early childhood. She was a sweet Christian girl, and to love her was only to know her. She will be missed by the entire community, but who can miss her more than Grandma. Grandma Hood, the heart of this editor goes out for you, for when the beauties of this world were hidden from your sightless eyes, Miss Fannie was your staff and comforter, and now when your eyes are en- abled to see again you cannot have her o rejoice with you.
 She is not dead Grandma, but oniy sleepeth, and on that great day you will behold her in glory.
 She will be buried in the fam fly graveyard this afternoon
