Tho resignation of Mr. Hughes a city attorney Is a matter of much re gret among that gentleman s host of friends, both because of Mr. Hughes' bad health,. which made his resignation necesMnry, and becnuso he la thereby deprived of the fruits of victory In the rigors of a political campaign.

The photography ot lightening Is scl ence a latest achievement. These are callid "electrographs," and are con sidered of great value -In the future knowledge of electricity. It Is well known thut a person struck by light ning bonrs an Impression resembling a tree. The electrograph haa proved that this Is because lightning Itself has a tree-like Bhnpe, which always leaves h vivid Impression wherever It strikes. In this respect It la similar to the fa mous medicine, Hostcttor'a Stomach Bitters, which also leaves an Impres sion that of health upon every one who uses It. This great specllio Is for all stomach ills, such as dyspepsia, con stipation, biliousness, malurla, kidney trouble, and all ailments which arise from Impaired digestion. It will not offend tbe weakest stomach. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money If It falla to cure. E. W.

FRIENDS NOT DISCOURAGED Says Matter Kill Not Be Dropped What Secretary Lyman Says of tbe situation. The. egg has r.nully been laid and the "three-roads" mitt-r has been defeat-i-l, ufter occupying thn attention f the county eomiiiiesloriers for the past ten clays. Tlio fate of the measure was de cided ycHtirday afternoon, but only af ter seveial motions Incorporating' the Individual I'lcas of tin; commissioner! had been made and voted upon. I'pon the suggestion of Judge Gray that a vole be taken on the sufficiency of the number of votes the ball wa starled rolling. The other commission ers objni.'tel and InslHtcd that a vote lie taken on the validity of the peti tion. I'pon th vote Judge Gray voted )cs and Commissi .ners Lewis and PeteMon voted no. Judge Gray then offered an order that the petition contain the names of a majority of the je-ui voters of Clatsop county, us shown l.y thn roll books of the lust general election, via, 1.3.6 votes. Howell U wis amended sail order to say thut the court has not canaised the petition sufficiently to ascertain whether U contains the Mild number of l.rs leeal voters or r.i t. I'pon the ann-ndment Judge Gray voted nay ar.d Commissioners Lewis and Peterson vote I yea. The total vote of ( latsop lounty at the lust election was I.fiM. making the number of votes required for .a ma jority, 1.3J4. According to Deputy Sheriff Prael's figures the total num ber of gooJ signatures on the petition wa 1.3IS. but the number Included JO names of citizens who voted for state and district olllcers. In commenting on the fate of the ' three-rou Is" m usure Mr. H. P. Ly- man, secretary of the Push Club, who Is constiiutiy in illiwt s-ntlment with the g.meral sentiment of fh? organl- xullon, said to an Astorlan reporter last night that the club would not ac (fpt defeut with Indifference. Continu ing. .Mr. Lyman said: ''Thero has undoubtedly been felt much disappointment that the long and determined effort to begin upon a sys tem of general rond Improvement In ClutKop county hhould fall. "This Is not to criticise the action of the county court. The Integrity and rfcMd Judgement of the Judge or the commissioner! are not to be called In question. In view of the legal ques tions raised, as It began to be apparent that a majority of properly qualified voters would be found on the petition, any court nilfcht have concluded that It was unwise to order the five-mill levy. "liut the disappointment is no lesa keen, for all that. "The thought that has led up to tb Idea of road Improvement took form over two years ago, when the gen eral demand arose that Astoria might help herself by encouraging the farm ers and buying their produce. It was this that led to the Astoria exposition which was to show what could be produced here. A most creditable dis play was made, and a generous and hopeful spirit was shown. The Farm ers' Congress was In the same line, and that was a meeting enjoyed more per haps than any gathering of general In terest ever held In Clatsop county. "It became more and more evident, 'lowever, that little Improvement of the farm lands, or little benefit to the city would be Impossible unless wagon roads, fit for use all the year, should be built to all parts of the county. To advance this difficult proposition has therefore been the task of those who desire and believe In its Improvement. Many attempts have been made; leg islation to suit our peculiar needs and situations has been sought; the unsat isfactory plan of obtaining money by private; subscription has been followed even when It was known to be of doubtful aluc When, therefore, af ter months of hard work, and It was believed that a clliUcult s.tuatlon had been met, and a hard requirement had been fulillled, It was not pleasant to be thrown down on what seems like a narrow legal Interpretation. "The feeling and sentiment, and gen eral mind on the subject are also to bo. considered. If the spirit ot the opposition were entirely friendly, and the only anxiety shown was to proceed legally, II would be one, thlntr. If , disposition ho;'((l t0 n,pr,,v.m.nt( and '"''.'waled to "beat" any tffort that Its frl nds are able to make,-l! shown, that Is another thing. Such a disposition would throw us down, not simply on a lgil point, but w.uld make and ralt,e 'lifTlcultica to place In the way of any effort that could be made. It. would be a sorry thing to find that a disposition exited, or that, If It did ex 1st, It should be allowed to have Its vay ag.ili.U a public demand! "Frivolous or f'ldl.h objections to good roads in g neral have not tend ed to convince the public of the serlous mfs of the objec tor. Exaggeration of jht of r ad building, or assertion that somebody crorsed the plains In carta fifty yeais ago; or that farmers can go in a boat, do not tend to Impress the I public aii sincere or Intelligent dis cussion; but rather raises the question of wheth- r all that has Leen done by the opposition has not been rather to binder than to help road-i, with th object to deiny and confuse the good roads movement, and thereby to d ?f;at it. Public men, or public newspapejs shout 1 not, unless they are opposing roads, furnish any grounds of suspic ion that It Is private I at her than pub lie Interest that guides them. "However, the friends of the road fare willing to try It agnln, and profit by the advice of those who have showp them their mistakes. We do not be lleve the people of the county uie lees arnt-st than they have been to make this a desirable country; or thai 0,6 ,,Ufc"C m"' Wh8e lnflufnc! n" turally large, will c!o otherwise than improve their condition. FOR AN ATHLETIC CLUB. Enthusiastic Meeting Held at the City Hall La t Night. The first steps toward the organiza tion of an amateur athletic club were taken fast night. Th? meeting was held at the council chambers, nearly fifty lemons being present. Temporary organization was effected by the selec tion of G. C. Fulton as -chairman and P. B. Soey as s-cretary. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Herman Wise, C. R. Tnomson Fulton, Suvey and others, all of whom j commented nn the necessity for an ath- li tic club. Stvcial plans of organiza tion were mentioned and discussed, the I 'lUestlvn of initiation fee and monthly ,ius exciting considerable comment It was agreed by an overwhelming vote that th initiation fee should be placed at $" and the monthly dues at $1.50. On motion the chair was empowered to appoint two committees, each of five members one on organization and the ether on membership. Mr. Fulton stat ed that he would announce his commit tees through the papers In a day or two, as he with.;d time before making his selections. The meeting adjourned fcubject to a call of the chair. Last night's gathering was an en tliusiastic one and there is no doubt that the club will be successfully or ganised. The business men of the city chould lend their hearty assistance, for the club w ill benefit the rising genera' lion, which is not li a position to bear financial burdens. SOLFILINE. Solflllne!
