OUR POLICE COMMISSION

There is to be a full board Of the
Astoria Police Commission session
this evening, and it is hoped that the
question Of unfinished business will
not be altogether ignored when the
Commission shall have disposed Of
the Abercrombie-Linville- -Debeau in
quiry, which, of course, takes preee-
dence at this particular session. The
board has dallied with the matter Of
the appointment Of chief.of-police
for Astoria so long, that there is a
suspicion that it will never be broach-
ed again, despite the legal necessity
for the creation Of such an officer in
the despatch of municipal affairs The
present condition operates as an in
justice to the board, the city and the
actingchief. and should be amended,
at least, in difference to the proper
conduct Of all civic business, and the
determination OF the real status ami
authority of that particular officer.
If for once politics can be shunted,
and real municipal business given
right-of-way. perhaps the solution Of
this matter would not be so difficult
or hazardous as it seems; at any rate
the people would like to see some
thing done that means something for
their protection and interests.

The Human Appetite.

Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things IN
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious,
There are those who humor it; 9TH
crs who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with con.
sideration. To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos-
tered, at the least cost in each case,
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subsection, is always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted to
this is the Palace Restaurant just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try t
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule Of the Palace.

seek, AND YE SHALL FINDr

The Morning Astorian has always
had cheerful word and quiet hope
in the matter Of boring for oil and
gas in this county; there is ample
proof Of the existance Of one. or both
to make the problem manifest, and
the solving Of the problems Of life
and place constitute the best Of mans
work in this weary old world. If we
had no fascinating problems our en-
ergies would die Of inanition and We
would pass, without history, to the
bourne to which all animals are sup
posed to drift.
1t is an excellent thing that Clatsop
has the signs that warrant the full
effort in this direction; there has
been a steadfast faith in the oil and
gas promises cropping out here; a
faith that is likely to mature to reali-
zation Of the largest range and quail
ity; and any well directed effort to
fathom the truth Of the alluring mys-
terry viii be watched and welcomed
with all the good viii in the world.
And those whose courage and sense
make for the final revelation should
reap handsomely from the venture.
No one will begrudge them the limit
Of their findings, (unless it be the
Standard Oil Company and the
launching of another great industrial
field here will enchance every other
value we possess.
Go to it, gentlemen and may you
speedily realize that you have anoth-
er gauge on fortune!
