Mr.. Smith explained that, generally
speaking, the city had no such right,
that the only cases wherein II has
such right are where the property
is condemned under the privilege oi
eminent domain for public purposes,
and under the very wide powers
granted municipalities under the des-
ignation Of police powers Under
its police powers Astoria may have
the right to enter in upon these pri-
vatc properties for sanitary purposes;

poses, the speaker intimatcd, perhaps

while there may be some room for
doubt upon this. subject, nevertheless
he is satisfied the courts would surely
uphold the validity Of the bill.
AT the conclusion OF the discussion
OF the bulkhead matter DR.. Logan
stated that the committee had other
amendments to propose, and he asked
for opinions on the adyisability Of
doing away with the street superin-
tendency and city surveyorship as
elective Offices and making them ap-
pointive. II is expected that such an
amendment will be offered, though
nothing has been publicly said in these
meetings lately, at least about
making the police commission ap-
pointivc, instead Of elective as now
In some quarters there Is a strong de-
mand for this latter change, and If

What do you think of having an
amendment limiting the number Of
saloons?" asked DR.. Logan. "That is,
having only certain number Of sa-
looms in proportion to the popula-
tionY
There are said to be two sides to
this question. While, generally speak
ing, many would favor the limitation
on general grounds, nevertheless It

to prevent agitation for doing away

SIDELIGHTS ON
SEAWALL PROJECT
Interesting Facts and Figures Adduced at Meeting
Last Nght---Mr Harris Resigns

AT the joint meeting OF the charter
amendment committee with the bulk
head commission IN the council cham
Der last night the resignation OF S. E.
Harris from the commission of nine
was formally announced. Mr.. Kab-
9th, of the charter amendment COM
mittee, stated that Mr.. Harris found
| it necessary to positively decline his
services, not because he did not favor
the project, but because Of reasons
Of business and health. There were
no other designations. DR.. Logan, as
chairman, later in the session called
for suggestions OF names to fill Mr..
Harris place. Mr.. Kankinen sug-
gested the name OF Tom Nelson, but
no action was taken on the matter.
The meeting last night was an in
teresting one, and though very little
actual business arose for settlement
there were many interesting and per
haps valuable sidelights thrown upon
the entire project.
The only change made in the bulk
head amendment was one suggested
by Captain Flavel, Of the commission.
The bill provided that property own
ers whose properties would be filled
in as an incident to the project would
have 20 years in which to pay there
for. This was changed to so years.
OF the charter amendment commit
| tee, Councilmen Logan, Kaboth and
Leinenweber were present, and OF the
commission Messrs. Flavel, Mauke,
Kankinen, Birch, Goddard and Dr..
Kinney. A. M. Smith, as attorney for
the committee, was also present, as
was the city attorney, Mr.. Abercrom-
bic. There were no citizens present,
though Councilman Stangeland came
in late and remained an interested
auditor
Mr.. Smith, at the request of DR..
Logan, explained in concise manner
the purposes and scope Of the whole
project, and as he covered the mat
ter briefly for their edifcation it be-
came evident that at least the bill is
drawn with much care and in its mi
nor points is evidently compare
lively perfect instrument It shows
the months Of work put on it by the
committee and the attorneys. Mr.
Smith explained that it would not be
necessary for the commission to sell
all of the 100000 bonds at once;
small portions Of this sum may be
expended as the work proceeds, if the
matter should become a law. The
commission may reject any or all
bids. There may be remonstrances
He explained the effect of remofi-
strances also. If owners Of three
hfths Of the property involved remon-
strate, it would appear from Mr..
Smiths Interpretation Of the itistfu-

the additional taxation from the bonds
would be comparatively light.

the additional taxation from the bonds
would be comparatively light.
| II was then suggested that the peo-
pie would have twenty years in which
to pay for the filling in Of their indi-
vidual lots, etc. The fact that the
great cost of the whole project will
not be from the bonds, but will be
upon the property owners whose
lands are affected, was not empha-
sized, but apparently not purposely
kept in the background. Captain
Tlavel suggested that the twenty years
might be heightened to thirty years,
SO as to tighten the burden upon the
property owners, and this amendment
was made.
DR.. Logan, who has made a wide
study of the matter, then stated that
estimates had been made Of the cost
OF filling in the lots. It was stated
that to fill in the adjacent streets and
the lots would cost approximately
from $4O0 10 5000 per lot.
No estimate was made Of the extra
cost involved in raising grades, cre-
ating new sewerage systems, new
drainage, etc, and in handling build
ings now on the properties.
AT this point DR.. Logan made an
address covering the entire matter,
and in 1t the speaker made many tell
ing points against Astoria's lethargy
in business matters and in favor Of
active, progressive, up-to-date plans.
"We figure that it will cost about Sis
a foot to drive the piles for the bulk
head,' he said 1--WE saw no need for
hiring expensive engineers to tell Us
how to drive piles.
1--WE figured that tosdrive the piles
for a bulkhead from Smiths Point
to point near Tongue Point the to-
tai cost would be about 100000.
IAN addition Of one-half mill upon
last years valuations would more than
oay the interest for the first year
upon the proposed bond issue"
Dr. Logan had mentioned the bulk
head along the Uniontown water
front.
"But we don't want sea wall
there" said Mr.. KaKnkineny "as we
want it open so that the boats can
get in and out"
1t was explained that Uniontown
need not have a bulkhead if II doesn't
want one, that 1t is "up to" the COM
mission to decide just wher the wall
would be built.
AT this point an interesting dis
cussion arose upon the right Of the
city to enter upon private property
to fiji It in and otherwise improve it.

ment that he drew, this protest woulc

provided, however, that any such re
monstrance made by owners Of al
least three-hfths OF the property In.
volved may be rendered of no effect
by two-thirds vote OF the commits
sion Of nine. That is, by twothirds
vote OF the commission any remon-
STRANGE may be overcome. According
to Mr.. Smiths statement this two
thirds vote must be OF the entire COM
mission and not Of the members pres
ent and voting. II was also explained
that the commissioners now ap-
pointed will hold Office until 1915,
when their elective successors are to
succeed them
Mr.. Kankinen asked in relation to
the manner OF taxation for the bulk
head proper. 1t was explained that
for this the entire city must pay. II
is to be by general taxation, just as
the entire city paid for the city hall.
All Of the filling in Of lots, however,
and the cost of new sewerage sys-
TENS, etc, must be paid for by the
property owners benefited. Mr..
Smith also endeavored to emphasize
the fact that while the entire city is
to pay for the bulkhead { always pro-
viding that the matter becomes a
law), that bonds will be sold which
will ruin for many years-for 40 or SO
years-and thus the real payment is
postponed" He showed clearly that
it is contemplated that the city's pos
terity must really foot the bills, and
this course he justified by the assump-
ton that the city will have been SO
greatly benefited by the project that
posterity should naturally be called
upon to pay for the benefits received.
We are to pay merely the interest.
This familiar argument Of course inn
plies that the present citizens are not
to be benefited so greatly as the fu-
ture ones are to be, and it further
Tpresumes that the benefits are cer-
tain, and not assumed. The argu-
ment naturally fails the moment that
the project becomes losing venture
instead of a paying venture, In some
Of the States Of the Union the Consti-
tutions, seeing great evils from this
course, forbid the present from sad
ding" debts on the future beyond a
certain point.)
Mr.. Smith made his address inter-
esting. Mr.. Kaboth arose to aver that
the additional tax from the sale Of
the bonds would be merely non1i-
nal;' that is, that all this generation
would have to pay would be the in
terest, never amounting to more than
$4,000 year" This, he said, might
mean as much as $3.50 for a lot up on
the hillside. All seemed to agree that

PHOENIX "COYOTES" DEFY
 TEMPE "JACKRABD|TS'
HIGH SCHOOL CAPTAIN ISSUES CHALLENGE FOR ANOTHER
 MEET.
Phoenix Boys Are Anxious to Wipe the Thanksgiving Day Stain From Their 'seuteheon.

The Tempe normal school is not go- | ing to be allowed to gloat over its vic- tory of Thanksgiving day. The Co votes are out on the war path agair and are after the Jackrabbits hides The following challenge was issued yesterday by H. C. Smith, captain oi the track team.
 The Coyote" track team of the Phoenix high school claim the cham pionship of the territory on the follow ing grounds:
 First-The meet held at the terri torial fair-the only meet of the sea son held under A. A. U. rules-was won by the Coyotes by a good margin, the Normal team coming out second. There have been only three meets held in the territory this season and the high school has won two of them, leaving one for the Normal
 Yet 1t is rumored that the Normal school, having won one meet out of three, claims a tie with the High school which won the other two. Since the territorial championship of the Phoe- nix high school is disputed by the Normal school the Coyotes hereby CpdlitASc lHe NOTlldlS 10 a ueclSlNe meet to be held Saturday, Dec IA This meet, if the challenge is accepted, will be held either on our own grounds or on those of the Normal school whicheVer suits the Normal best. The contest will be team against team Phoenix not limiting her best men to one or two events as she has previous ly had to do in order to get the Jack rabbits to appear before the Coyotes.
 IL is the desire of the Phoenix team that 60 per cent of the gate receipts shall go to the winning team and 40 per cent to the loOser; or, if Tempe is over confident of victory, we are perfectly willing to let the winner take all of the gate receipts.
 If this challenge is not accepted, the Coyotes will consider themselves the lawful holders of the territorial cham pionship until their title to it is lost contest.
 This challenge must be answered in mornings paper. or before, so that arrangements for the meet may be made.

Points for Business Men.

ES OU cannot run your business success v fully unless you keep yourself in- 4 formed Of what other business men are doing. Unless you know what prices your rivals are giving and getting for any and every class of goods in which you deal. you need not hope to compete with them successfully.
 Do not suppose that you can Increase your business by spasmodic efforts. how ever violent. You must always be push ing it in every direction.
 Be considerate to your stan. but- be their master The best way to insure their respect is to let them see that you know the details of their work better than they do. Let each man feel that you uust him, and if he Is worth his wage. he will trust you.
 Do not sEub anyone. however humble. who has. or thinks he has. ar idea 10 oner On ine contrary. encourage your staff te-bclicye that if they help you. you will help them.
 Do not embark upon any business which you do not thoroughly understand with out taking the best expert ndvice you can obtain. IL is cheaper to ray five hun dred dollars fer a warning not to do certain thing than to lose dve thousand dollars by doing 1t.
 See that your books are kept in such q way that every transaction shows its loss or profit. and that the position of your business. whether Increasing or di- minishinE. can be ascertained at any time.
 If your business is increasing it is im- portaut that you should know the reason, in order that you may take the fullest advantage of it. <
 If your business Is declining 1t Is still more important that you should know the reason. in order that you may correct 1t with as little delay as possible.
 NO business, however good. can be kept going without advertising. but advertising must be done iRtellisently. You must first make up your mind as 10 the class
