From the Other Side

The local option idea is perhaps
the most important development in
the temperance movement. The
right given to the voters of a given
county, city or township, as the case
may be, to vote for or against the sa-
looms is the most deadly blow the
liquor business ever received, be-
cause it has generally proven, so far,
that wherever local options ramifi-
cations have spread the saloon has
ceased to exist. - Tom Gilmore,
Leader of the Whisky Forces.

For a Record Breaker

Let's make the coming National convention of the
Anti-Saloon League record breaker.
Chicago and Illinois are highly favored in being per-
mted to entertain the League workers Of America in
their great biennial convention.
The convention will be held during the first week of
next December and plans are being laid to make it
the greatest gathering in the of temperance
held in America There is probably not another city
centrally located for all parties interested this second
greatest city Of the Western hemisphere.
The annual conference Of superintendent and field
workers Of the League will take place the week preceding
that the gathering will be practically two weeks in
duration. During this time expect to thoroughly
the city of Chicago and surrounding country with
strong League speakers
Everyone interested in this movement should begin
to plan to attend this great gathering by setting
aside the last week in November and the first in Deem
Der and make their plans that nothing may interfere with
their coming.

Details Of Franchise

Activities in preparation for the
construction of the electric line TO
Seaside are going on without inter
ruption, and in all probability the
franchise over the city streets will
be granted at the meeting Of the
council next Monday night The
pressure brought 10 bear to eliminate
the proposed $50 license on each car
has apparently succeeded and il is
said to be pretty certain that this de-
tail will be dropped. 1t is also said
the men back OF the railway project
want a provision in the charter per-
mitting them to run their cars in the
city limits UP to maximum speed OF
| 20 miles an hour. Already the fran
Ichise as written permits maximum
speed Of Is miles per hour. Merely
TO state the matter would seem sut-
I'6cient to indicate the extreme un-
desirability of granting such a pro-
vision. Twenty miles per hour might
be a recklessly dangerous rate OF
speed in city, while is miles an
Ehour to many, perhaps, would seem
almost as bad, In the case Of dam
age suits against the company for
injuries to people such a provision
might be used with pernicious effect
as against the rights OF citizens
hWhy any provision Of this nature
should be desired in the franchise
granted for 80 years, is not plain
Such matters are properly usually
left to the succeeding common coun
ellis, instead of one council now being
asked to tie up succeeding coun
ellis for the next so years.

Confirmation reached this city yes
terday of the long mooted rumor that
the authorities Of the Astoria & CO.
lumbia River Railway would dis
tinctly improve the right-of-way OF
the line and add new cars and
amplify the service between this city
and the coast and between here and
Portland. The extent OF the improve
ments are up to the mark Of 100000,
and will be Of the very best when
completed. II is proposed to rock
the line from Goble to Astoria and
thence to Seaside, and place Is
pound steel rails wherever they may
be lacking at present. notably on the
line south Of Carnahan, the rest OF
the route having them. 1t is said that
the train service is TO be embellished

fast schedule is to be put on for the
whole system for both freight and
