Al the meeting of the common
council Monday night communities
ton was read from the Oregon Coast
Railway Company, by It's vice.prcsi-
dent Norris Staples, stating why the
company was not in d position al this
time to accept the franchise granted
the company over certain of the city
streets, and for It's failure to deposit
$1,000 as q guarantee Of intention 70
construct the line. As soon as all
the rights Of way are secured and the
financial backing obtained the com
pany will then ask for the franchise
again. The communication fled with
the council asked that the right of
accepting the present franchise be ex-
tended until next spring, but mas
much as It had already expired by
limitation the council did not see .ts
way clear to grant an extension.
Much difficulty Il being experienced
in securing the rights of way from
Astoria TO Seaside, though all the
principal property owners declare
they are willing 10 give the rights Of
way upon certain conditions that they
believe ft their individual cases. The
delay Is very unfortunate, as It Is
understood that the necessary hnan-
cial backing is ready

Clouds of Smoke

No matter who is elected today
for the council il is probable that
some effort will be made to institute
one certain change in the workings
OF the council chamber This change
refers TO smoking in the council
rooms during sessions. Much. COM
plant both open and covert. has
been made in regard to this, and yet
mo one member OF the council or
other city official has yet worked up
sufficient moral courage to try to call
a halt, AT every session Of the council
the room soon becomes filed with a
blue haze The ventilation is always
miserably poor, Usually it is too
hot for some, What with the smoke
and the heat councilmen get nervous,
and squirm about and sweat to get
through Visitors make sudden
dashes for the doors, Those who
don't care very much to smoke pull
out cigars in self-defense. Nearly
all the members of the council smoke,
The two newspaper men who usual
ly are at the sessions smoke vile
pipes. Probably nearly every mem
ber of the council would in his secret
heart feel glad il some one would in
troduce resolution asking that
smoking be stopped during the ses-
sion.

Experiments Fall

Hector Desjardins and w. A. Pot
ter the two young men who have
been making experiments with clays
found in this neighborhood, have
completed their tests. The result Of
their work has been far from salts.
factory, and il their tests be taken as
final they would indicate that Il
would only be waste OF time to
spend any money in trying to do
anything in a manufacturing way
with the clay products Of this local
ity. Two or three kiIns were burn
ed, and in each instance the local
clays turned out very badly, accord
ing to the two gentlemen. In the
last kiln various clays were burned
some English clay, some from the
east, and some from this county. Tie
foreign ciays turned out very well
indeed, while the local clay did not.
This would appear to be conclusive,
since all were burned at the same
time. Yet at the same time il Is
wei known that certain of the claws
found in this county are sent to Port
land by the barge load and are used
there for tile and other purposes.
The two gentlemen conducting the
experiments here simply aver that
the clays given them for expert
ments turned out as indicated. A
woman who refused $1,000 for tract
of land containing a vast amount of
the clay like that used probably will
be sorry to hear of the outcome of
the experiments, as the land is other
wise comparatively worthless.

Thefts by Wholesale

The trial 81 Thurman Peck, who Is
accused Of having stolen a valuable
casting from the Pacific Iron Works,
was TO have been held on yesterday,
but II was postponed until Friday.
Behind the arrest Of Peck there lies
another story. In justice court yes
terday Fl. c. Harrison, Of Che Pacific
Iron Works, stated that the com
pany has been robbed Of perhaps
$1,000 worth Of castings, brass pieces
and pieces Of machinery during the
past year. Peck stole the castings
for which he was arrested, according
to his own admission made in open
court but strong efforts have been
made to ascertain il he was not only
one Of gang which has committed
the wholesale depredations. Peck
however, denies all knowledge OF the
other thefts. 1t Is said there really
was not sufieint proof to have con-,
victed Peck. but even after he had
been informed that 1t was not re.
quisite for him TO make any admis-
sions against himself he is said to
have admitted his guilt. He had
been drinking, it seems.
