IS PORT OF ASTORIA
BILL LEGAL /?
GROUNDS OF PRESUMED IN.
VALIDITY SEEM TO BE
SOMEWHAT TRIVIAL

At the request OF one or more Of
the officials OF the new Port of As
toria commission representative Of
The Astorian yesterday endeavored
TO ascertain definitely the facts upon
which the presumed invaIidity OF the
amendment are based. The conclu-
sion Of the investigation made would
tend to show that the suspicion Of
invalidity has not very strong foun'
dation.
The initiative and referendum char
| ter amendment that was adopted by
the people Of Astoria provides. in re-
lation to the publication Of all pro-
posed amendments before being vot-
ed upon, that ut shall be suf-
fcient il the FIRST publication Of such
notice shall have been made within
one week from the date Of fling OF
such petition"
The notice pertaining 70 the Port
Of Astoria bill was not published in
Ethe official city paper within Zone
week" from the time Of the fling Of
| the petition. Following are the var
ious dates:
Petition filed on October n.
But as the charter permitted un-
til the End day Of November for the
filing Of such petitions that date may
perhaps safely be taken as the one to
reckon from.
The first publication OF the notice
in the official city paper was on No
vember Is, which is several days be-
yond the zone week Of the last pos
sible date Of November q 1t would
have been necessary to have filed by
November 9 at the latest to have
been within the zone week" called
for.
| Therefore, because the notice was
not fled within the time stipulated by
the charter amendment some have
then assumed the Port Of Astoria bill
to have been born with the faint Of
invalidity upon it.
OF course it would require skilled
legal opinion, after careful study, to
express an opinion Of value upon the
subject. But upon the face Of the
question the trouble seems more
technical than real.
II seems to be the usual rule Of
courts to construe such provisions as
being directory to city clerks, or oth7
ers having the matter in charge;
mandatory, also, to the extent that
no choice Is permitted them If the
question of an option arises, but that
the whole matter pertains to the
official whose duty it is to make such
notice and not to the public at large
In this case there was failure to
file the notice within the stipulated
time. II this mere failure which
did harm to no one, as perfect and
complete notice was given by another
means provided in the same charter
amendment-then it would mean that
any slight neglect on the part Of the
one whose duty it was to prepare the
election, would invalidate the whole
expressed will Of a city, or Of state.
Properly the courts usually hold
that wherein such failures to perform
some such clerical or other perfume
tory duty have wrought no harm to
the voters, then the whole matter can
safely be disregarded.t Merely as an
illustration Of how dangerous it would
lbe to permit such trivial matter to

BIG HARVEST
FOR THE FARMER
Nature Will SOOR Yield Her
Crops for the NOurishment
of Humanity

The outlook for good harvest this
year is very promising ana the farm
ers in general are casting abroad the
fact that everything in the fields is in
as good condition as can be expected
considering recent inclemency Of the
weather. There has been no evidence
of any failure in the agricultural sphere
and a wonderful reaping of the boun-
ties given by nature viii be soon stor-
ed up for relishment by man and
beast.
A representative Of this paper in
an interview with farmer OF this
county, found that an exceptional crop
of wheat is expected, and that the
heads Of this cereal are at present
rapidly filling out. He remarked that
the heavy laden fields are as fiue as
have been seen in this district for
many years, and that the farmers will
soon begin to reap the golden covered
meadows. Rye seems to be above the
ordinary this harvest, and the heads
are reported TO be filling out better
than usual. These conditions are
probably due to the open winter and
the peculiar spring weather which has
| neen advantageous TO lutlt BlvWth.
During the winter there was sufficient
snow TO keep the wheat and rye well
covered. and with the spring very
open, the plants got an early start
and from that time on there hasn't
been any hindrance 10 the general pro-
gress Of their growth.
The conditions Of the fruit is not
up to the standard. but with a contin-
luatlon of such weather as we have been
having for the past two weeks, every
thing will turn out better before the
fruit is picked. Apples VIII not be sc
plentiful. The peach crop is away on
and pears VIII be scarce.
The potato crop will not exceed thai
Of last year.
The general appearance of the corr
is short but this is due TO the COO
nights Of the past month. To grow
nicely. the weather especially during
the night must be moderate, but since
the weatherman has changed his tac-
tics within the last week. the pros
poets for large crop of corn are tax
ing on a more favorable aspect.
A most abundant crop OF hay-wiii bs
reaped this year, and the large herds
lof cattle will do less suffering durine

They are clumsy 60 deal with after
one has worked with the pliable
soutache.
Even the strict coat suits of linen,
pongee. and thin serge and cheviot
have more or less ornamental designs

down the fronts of coat, and often up
back of sleeves from wrist to ell
