Ludwig Hartwig, one Of the best

held high position in their respect

Likely To Drop Tax

Ii was said BY one member Of the
ways and means committee of the
council yesterday that the question OF
imposing a license tax Of $50 on each
one OF the cars Of the proposed cleo
tric line is likely to be dropped. II
is known that at least one member
Of the committee, however, is strong
ly in favor OF the imposition of the
tax. but unless ne submits a minority
repor, to the council it is deemed
likely thar the franchise will be
granted at the meeting Of the coun-
ell next Monday night without any
provision demanding the tax on each
car doing business in the city. No
one seems TO question the entire de-
STABILITY OF imposing such a tax, but
the promoters OF the road naturally
object, and the desire 70 aid in the
construction OF an electric line is so
great that there seems a willingness
10 let all minor questions go by the
board. On the whole it is probable
that everything is now in readiness
for the passage Of the franchise, and
il is said to be virtually certain to
pass next Monday night.

ing effect than she did last night. The
applause was tumultous. Miss Nc
Cam favored the audience with an
other patriotic song in response.
Mr.. J. M Anderson, the speaker Of
the evening, was introduced in an
appropriate manner by Father Wat
ers. The speech Of Mr.. Anderson
was an instructive and patriotic type,
and he insisted on the necessity Of
cooperation in the work Of perpetu-
ating our liberties. Mr.. Anderson's
humor kept the audience in happy
frame Of mind, and he impressed
solemn truths by the interesting
anecdoes with which he interlarded
his well prepared address.
By special request, after the sp-
plause has subsided, Mr.. Anderson
delivered two selections, "Tomor-
row." and Patriotic Toasts." Mrs.

Indictments Expected


The grand jury will take up its
work again today, and it is thought
various indictments will soon be re-
turned, The Kelly case has been
thoroughly gone into by the grand
jury and it will surprise no one If
one or more indictments are re-
turned in this matter. The where
abouts OF Kelly are unknown, It is
said. The question Of the saloons and
"blind pigs" is apt to be taken up
with vigor also, and unless all signs
fail there will be big batch of in
dictments against saloonkeepers for
violation Of the Sunday closing laws,
The case against young Smith, who
was arrested by thee police on a
charge OF stealing watch from a
woman, has been dropped, as the
grand jury returned no true bill
against him.

thorities Saturday night. He, too,

ennesS The boy FIRST arrested said
he was but II years old, while Henry

looks somewhat older than this,
however, and barkeepcrs who did not

said he usually hangs around sa-
looms where he is well known. While
in the station over Sunday the young
fellow refused 10 tell where he had
secured his drink. Two saloonkeep'
ers lost their licenses as a result Of
the younger boy drinking in their
places, and il may appear a striking
commentary on the whole matter
that now the Second minor brother
should be arrested on the same
charge,

The New Judge

= 49, NF~sF aN@&B%
While copy 81 the new law pro-
viding for the appointment Of Sec
ond judge in the Fifth Judicial dis
trict has not been seen BY the As
toria attorneys, they are disposed to
think that probably II has been carc-
fully drawn and In manner consist
ent with the best interests Of this end
Of the district 1t Is known that the
bill as first drafted, wherein Il re-
ferred to the question Of the court
stenographers, did not give satisfac-
tion in all its phases. Whether that
clause has been changed or not does
not seem to be generally known
here. Several names are already be.
ing mentioned in connection with the
judgship; though the attitude Of the
gentlemen named Is not known The
names Of Attorneys Taylor, Bowlby
and Eakin are suggested as likely
timber for the place; other names
are also mentioned, too, though it
seems to be understood that perhaps
one or more Of the leading possible
candidates would be reluctant to give
up their excellent practices. Prob
ably the next few weeks will show
who the candidates really are. If
Columbia county has a candidate for
the judgeship nothing is known Of
the fact here and there seems to be a
general understanding that the new
Judge is likely to be an Astoria man.

The Debating Team

AS a result Of losing the inter-
scholastic debate at Newberg Friday
night the Astoria team is now out of
the contests for this year The win
ners keep competing among each
other until narrowed down TO one.
Mr.. Clark, the city superintendent,
who went to Newberg with the As
toria debaters, said last evening that
while the loss OF the contest was a
great disappointment there was moth
ing to be said in disparagement of
the decision Of the judges. The de-
bate seems to have been lost on the
question of argument; and the New
berg debaters adduced arguments
founded on statistical figures taken
from the annual report Of the State
superintendent OF schools. The local
debaters were not prepared to meet
the arguments brought forward, and
It is understood they believe the
figures to have been erroneous,
Hence they we're not prepared to
disproye erroneous figures, and this
lost the debate, On the whole the
local debaters made very good i'm
preston, and Lawrence Dinneen is
said to have been easily the star Of
the evening as regards oratorical
ability.
