looms save as they may have to enter
them on official business" !"
On this point Commissioner Cor.
don and Commissioner Foard both
spoke 10 the point, and i looks as
| II there win Be trouble for the Off.
Ger who in the future enters a sa.
loon to take quiet nip Then the
commissioners turned to other mat
tiers.
"For your years" began Commis-
sioner Foard, 4our store has been
robbed once year, There should be
some man On the force to look after
such matters"
AT this point Commissioner Gordon
interrupted. He stated that he had
motion to make right along that
line; that the department requires the
services ofa man to act in plain
Iclothes as detective, man who
won't be tied down to beat, but
viii be free to investigate and watch
out for criminals and robberies Of
this nature, Mr.. Gordon said that he
had in mind man who probably
could fill such position well, and
tht he and Judge Page had discuss
ed him. The man Is Harry w. Rim
who recently has been employed as a
bookkeeper up in the Alaska fisher
les. He had entered an application
for the place, and was recommended
by w. F. McGregor and f. P. Noon
an, During Mr.. Foard's absence from
the city the other commissioners had
talked over the matter and both had
arrived at the conclusion that MT.
Rim would make good man. With
Mr. Foard's approval Mr., Rim was
appointed. The plan is to have him
act as a detective and to dc desk SER
vice in the station. Mr.. Rim has
claimed residence in Astoria for two
years. His application shows him to
be 80 years Of age and to have been
born in San Francisco.
Judge Page stated incidentally near
the close Of the meeting that his term
Of Office will soon expire and that he
will leave the city this fall, thus in
dicating that he is not to 'bea a can
didate for reelection. iit4isr
Patrolman Linville aftef his re,
Iinstatement suggested that he had
one favor to ashland that was that
he. be placed back on his old beat-in
the bad lands Il want them to see
that they didn't JOB me, and as long
as they act right none Of them need
be afraid Of anything I do."
It Il presumed that Acting Chief
Oberg viii place Linville back on his
old beat, though it may be doubtful
that any man, for his own mental
moral and physical well-being, should
be assigned to that night work as
long as Officer Linville has already
been there
And after rather forcibly taking
Acting Chief Oberg to task in re-.
gard to the matter Of officers enter
ing saloons, Judge Page went on.
Its for youto uphold the dignity
and discipline Of the department.
That IS your duty as acting chief, and
probably when the time comes, if
you have done these things properly,
the board will make you chief Of po-
.Iice.
And with this intimation Of good
news for Mr.. Oberg the session came
to an end
