THOSE PERMANENT
IMPROVEMENTS
JUDGE BowLBY PRESENTS SOME
NEW ARGUMENTS IN RELATION
TO THE REPAIRS PROJECTED ON
ELEVENTH AND EXCHANGE.

Apropos OF the recent discussion as
TO tho manner and place for commencing
the permanent liue OF repair aud improve
mcnt to be inaugurated by the City OF
Astoria, especially in regard to he work
necessary on Eleventh and Exchange
streets, the Astorian is in receipt OF the
following communication, which demon
stratcs some further points OF interest
in connection theNwith:
Astoria. Ore, Jan. o. l00s.
Editor Astorian:--
Referring to your article on con,
crete retaining walls under the outer
edges OF the sidewalks, as an increment
to the lotowners responsible lor the
newer style OF improvement ot streets
here, | wish to state. that since the
proposition was made 10 use such
methods in the improvement OF Eleventh
street. between Duane and Exchange,
the city attorney oi Portland has ex'
pressed the opinion that the sidewalk
space below the surface. in that city. be,
long absolutely to the municipality and
are not amenable to private use nor
occupancy
III then. the use OF the space under
the sidewalk to the adjacent property
owner Is but temporary and subject to
license from the city. the property own.

pense; and in either event, the owners
OF inside lots do not, or might not, get
any benefit iron the private use of the
space below the walks. \ wooden bulk.

Lott In tho Apis Catacombs.
Paris Cor. London Standard.

Pierre Lofts letter In LIE Figaro to-
day Is devoted to describing the cata-
combs OF Apis, the bull god. at Memphis
Though these have been written about
by many a traveller from many a land,
the sailor academician has contrived to
find something new to say about the
giant sarcophagi. and. needless to add,
he says it In his peculiar and inimitable
style. What strikes Lott most in the
ancient sepulcher is not the empty gran
lite shells, nor the stupendous labor Of
the worshipers of Apis. His text is
really taken from a stone coffin that has
never held a mummy, because, before 1t
had been fitted into its niche. the cult
of Apis had ceased In the land 1t is
the sight Of this last sarcophagus
which inspires him with the terrifying
thought-the most terrible, he says. Of
all our positive notions-that there must
be an end to everything. not only a last
temple, a last priest. and q last tomb
but also last child born on earth. a
last sunrise. and a last sunset His re-
Elections recall the description given by

last Egyptian who had gone out and
closed the door behind him 800 years
before.

SKATINe ON The SIDEWALKS
PRACTICE THAT Is IN NEED OF
DISCRIMINATING CONTROL.
Some Abuses Of the Privilege.
Rights Of Pedestrians
Ignored.

I'm view Of q revival Of the protests
against skating upon the sidewalks and
streets Of this CITY," said a northwest
physician, "a suggestion in this connec-
ton may be offered.
There is much to be said in favor OF
the practice. and there is a great deal
since it has been declared permissible by
the city authorities. and the ruling at
present stands. skaters must be tolerated
on both the street pavements and side
walks despite the protests Of pedestrians
on the one hand and autoists and drivers
on the other.
LAS with the case Of drivers of vehi-
cles on the streets, there Is a class of un-
ruly and inconsiderate skaters whose in
difference to the rights Of others causes
the trouble. It Is this class who skate
singly and In pairs and trios among pedes-
TRANS on the sidewalks. knocking chill
dren down and often adults. and pushing
against and skating over the feet of those
whose agility is insufficient to get them
out of the way.
fragrant instances Of this kind should
be summarily dealt with. the offenders
promptly collared and handed over to
the nearest policeman upon a charge OF
other charge which may fit the individual
case.
Many Of these offenders are by no
means mere children. but are youths of
an age sufficient to cause them to know
better and to exercise more caution and
regard for the rights of others. A few
arrests of the undesirable class Of skaters
would have a wholesome effect upon all
concerned, and until they are made. these
reckless ones will continue to rush pell-
IL yN-- AI1
latter were private skating ponds.
I'm fact, skating upon the sidewalks
and streets Of the city has become so
universal that some restrictions upon the
practice should be imposed. The police
should break up hocky and other games
skaters upon the sidewalks should be pro-
hibited from skating in long single files.
and in twos and threes. The mad indis-
eliminate haste on the part of the impetu-
GUS ones should be curbed in some man
ner.
Fortunately no fatal accidents have as
yet, believe, been reported, and 1t Is to
be hoped that such will not happen to
draw attention to the need Of restrictions
Of some sort. 1t is one thing to use the
sidewalks and streets of city for
specific purpose. and one for which they
are not intended and 1t is another mat
ter to abuse the privilege.
Ordinance regulations as applied to
housewares, storekeeperS, vehicles ana
pedestrians affecting the sidewalks and
streets are rigidly enforced, and an ordi-
nance regulating the privileges of skaters
would be just as proper as those affecting
other individuals. The courts over and
over again have sustained the contention
that the streets of cities cannot be used
as Fairgrounds for children, and II we
have departed from that rule and made
an exception In the instance of roller
skaters. we have none to blame but our
selves II annoyances and accidents re-
suit
