THE WORK THAT COUNTS. ' The people Astoria have been nited tor the common good on two rcsioMi-oee when the railroad sub idy of land and cash to the extent t $1,500,000. - raised, and again at the present time. A great change has come over the people of late, and now ' they are to be found working to gether like brother tor the benefit of the city. A striking Instance of the publlc apirit ow pervading the community to afforded In the effort to aecure en largement of the Leather shlp-bulld-iag plant The owner of the land re quired for the enterprise asked $6000 for it. whereas the Investor had avail able for the purchase $300. The Joint committee on manufactories Inter viewed the owner and induced him to reduce Ms figure to 00. Then the public-spirited men offered to secure the J1000 necessary to the success of the plant and give it to the Investor for a year. The Interest will be borne by the commercial bodies. The com mittee has, through the commercial organisation, taken, steps to secure vacation of the foot of Fourth street to further assist the enterprise. , , In this matter there has been none of the petty bickering that has been characteristic of this community In the past The committee saw a chance to add to the growing payroll, and without any hesitancy set about to kelp an enterprise that means more money for Astoria workmen. This Is the way to do business. The healthy spirit that actuates the ormmlttee built Chicago and Seattle and scores of other towns, and It will certainly build up a greater Astoria. That we have at last solved the problem of success Is Indeed gratifying, and, with such a committee as that now work ing, Astoria Is bound to prosper. Let the business men and property owners stand by the committee In all Its un dertakings, and within a short time Astoria will not be entirely dependent upon the fishing Industry. PUGILISM AS A PROFESSION. Saturday two men met In a ring in an Kastern city and battied each oth er until one fell helpless. It is relat ed that early 'n the fisht the one who met defeat had an ear split, his Hps cracked, his nose pounded and one eye partly clased. Noble sport! It Is to be regretted that a certain lingering taint of savagery makes pos sible the existence of the prizefighter, for the prizefighter Is of no earthly good, says the Tacoma Ledger. He is apt to be between his times of training a vagrant and in close touch with the element openly criminal. Ordinarily he Is outside the ring more bestial than when in It, for In the latter place he is governed by a set of rules. His delight Is the beating f women. If by some stroke of luck lie obtain the money to start Into business, the business Is almost Invari ably that of keeping a disorderly sa loon which becomes a resort for the abandoned of both sexes. The Influence of the pugilist Is all bad. He Is made a sort of hero. He is worshiped by the small boy. He Is pointed out aw a. notable figure. Men who are respectable and seemingly sane go to witness his performances, which In nineteen cases out of twenty are arrant swindles In which actual superiority cuts no figure. The pugilist himself Is hardly to blame. He Is a creature of dull Intellect, Tim he knows an easy way to make a living. For one fight, and that fight a fake, he can get more money than by decade of hard and honest toll. The public, always delighted to be victimised, gives this money. Jeffries was a bollermaker, Fitzslm mons a blacksmith, Corbett had a place In a bank and later was physi cal Instructor In a club. Sharkey was In the navy.- Each had a . field ; in which he could have been of some use. Now, without merit and without hav Ing earned an honest cent all are rich or have permitted fortunes to flow through their "hands. The fighter has a bigger Income than the president of a bank or a railroad. This Is as to the leaders In the several classes. On the outskirts of puglllera Is a swarm of lessor fry always ready to turn a dishonest penny when the crop of suckers gives -.he opportunity and e police do not happen to be running suspicious characters out of town. SeK-defense is Quite another propo sition. Every man should know how to handle his fists in case of attack, and tiiu exorcise of acquiring the In formation -will be beneficial This, however, has no more to do with u sflhm thin an Intelligent use of firearms has with murder on the highway. The pugilist never uses his science outside the ring. 'When he engages In a barroom fight he Is apt to hurl a spittoon, and he likes to beat his woman with a chair or the crockery. The average prlteflghter belongs on the chaingang. It Is folly to pour money Into his coffers. ' He does noth ing for the world and the world does not owe him the fat living he gets. He Is a nuisance, a lawbreaker and an inciter to crime. CRISIS OS TUB COAST." The East Oregonlaa says: An es teemed exchange remarks' that the coast has now to face a crisis and that it Is necessary that an cities and localities pull together for the ad vancement of this portion of the con tinent. It is a remark worthy wide reading and win be found reprinted elsewhere In this paperr. Heretofore, there ftas been deplor able contention and quarrelling be tween this and that city and jealous ies have substracted from the sum total of effective energy. Portland has had to fight the influences of the Sound and San Francisco. Tacoma has had to fight Seattle, and Seattle to fight Tacoma. 'Frisco has had to fight the cities further north, and, in this fight among themselves, each has wasted effort that should have gone to compel for the great west what the unwilling east should give. In a measure. It Is the east against the west and it is to that extent a sectional struggle. And sectional struggles are not desirable. They are partially dependent "upon the principle that one region must be built up at the expense of another, which is not sound economy. But this has been forced upon the west, and Is not of Its choosing. And it should.be apparent that In the long run, what builds up one of the coast cities will build up the others by di recting attention to the west and de veloping Its resources. It wou'd l to expect the millenium to look for complete cession of these bickerings, yet it will not be unreas- onable to hope that to some extent I energy and ambition, with disordered the coast cities may learn to pull to- j liver and Kidneys often follow an at gether for mutual advancement. ! uck of thl wretched disease. The ! . " 7 I Every Astorlan who is flnancSffy able to do so should assist the rrftn- bers of the congregation of the First Presbyterian church in their com - mendable effort to erect a new edifice. With the exception of Grace church, the religious structures of Astoria are, in appearance, far behind the resi dences and business houses. There is no valid excuse why Astoria's church es should not be imposing structures, and the start for Improvement in this line should receive the hearty encour- ...... ,',.,, agement of all the people of the city. I irrespective of religious faith. And i it is a source of gratification to know that Mr. Marcotte, of the Presbyterian church, will not remove from the city. He has been a power for good during his long residence here, and that his congregation appreciates his worth Is evident from its determination to keep him in Astoria. A denial by Mr. Bryan of the report that he plays ping-pong Is 'xpeced by the plain people. At a Leadville party one boy was playing the piano and another was playing a loaded revolver. The result was fatal to the pianist Leadville ought to have passed the stage at which Juvenile guests are provided with guns.

"Sometimes could hardl; walk, ami when I had cou.eu n ici as though knife was cut ting me. My haudsand fevt were cold all Hi time. I W had such a tired feeling and such a poor appetite, and when I went to bed I slept only about two hours at a time. I got a bottle of ' Favorite Prescription and by the time I had used two bottles I felt so much better that I continued until I had taken eight bottles of 'Favorite Prescription ' and one of Golden Medical Discovery,' and now I am so well that my friends remark how well I am looking. I go to bed now and sleep till morning. My appe tite is splendid and that tired feel ing has left me. I hope others will do as I did give Dr. Pierce's medicines a fair trial." Schalkberger Is having almost enough narrow escapes to get Into the De Wit class. . A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. "I was troubled for about seven years with my stomach and In bed Half my time," says EX Demick, Somervllle, Ind., "I spent a boat $100 and never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entirely well." Tou don't live by what you eat, but by what you digest and assimilate. If your stomach doesn't digest your food you are realy starving.
