ASTORIA'S 3URDEN.
- ThM -itv at Astoria, exclusive of Its
school and water debt, owe 1182,000 In
round numbar. The Interest on this
debt amounts to 111,000 or U.000 yearly.
and nearly the entire amount realised
from city taxes is required to meet It.
On thousand dollars is sent away
very month, and our present revenues
are not great enough to enable us to
reduce the debt to a material extent.
' Astoria's debt ought to be refunded,
and the bonds taken up by the people
of this -city. Several hundred thous
ands of dollars Is lying idle In The city,
and those vho posse; s it would gladly
-Invest in city bonds, if statements fre
quently male .an be relied upon aa
correct. By refunding the Indebted
ness a large amount of money could be
kept at home. Astoria Is a producer,
receiving little from outside sources,
; and were the situation changed the ef-
feet would Instantly be felt. When
" the city grows, as it gives promise ot
"Vtnlnif within the nxt few years, the
money derived from taxation will be
needed to make improvements, and it
will be many years before the debt can
be wiped out. Meantime the heavy In
terest should be given to home people,
who would use It to better their city
and Increase the assessable wealth.
This matter is one worthy the con
sideration cf the officials of the city
government, who have done and are
doing excellent work in managing our
municipal affairs.
The victories of present day surgery
Include a considerable number of stal
wart walkabouts whose dislocation of
spinal vertebrae , would have been
eo anted as fatal cases of broken necks
not long ago. The wonders the fiore
moat experts in reparation now accom
plish comprise the stitching together of
the puter framework of the heart it
Self. That almost incredible triumph
of the operating table has been accom
plished recently", and the result, while
not wholly successful, was at least en
couraging. The man or woman who
lose a part of the brain In a railroad
accident nd not despair. American
surgeons and there are no better or
abler now on the planet have so
bravely delved inta the recesses of all
the contents of the skull that they do
not hesitate to take away a formidable
percentage of what the cranial cavity
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription sad
perseverance in its use will work won
ders for the most hopeless woman. If
Mrs. Newton, whose letter is given
below, had not persisted in its use, she
might never have known the happiness
of perfect health. Perhaps the reason
for her persistence was because she used
"Favorite Prescription" as s "last re
sort." Physicians had failed. If "Favor
ite Prescription" could not help there
was nothing to l.ope for. It did help. It
always helps and almost always cures.
It establishes regularity, dries weaken
ing drains, heals inflammation and ulcer
ation and cures female weakness. It
imparts strength and elasticity to the
organs of maternity and makes the
baby's advent practically painlesa
When I consulted you in April, 1899, I was
lu poor health," write Mn E. H. Newton, of
Vanbtiren, Aroostook Co., Maine 'Had been
nek all winter, and, to add to my trouble, wu
on the road to maternity, which the doctor said
would end my dayt. I wu almost discouraged ;
Sid not expect any help, but thought the end
waa only a matter of time, and oh I my two
poor, little, motherless children.
It waa in thia condition that I began the oae
of your valuable medicine. On receipt of your
letter at April 6th my hnsbsnd purchased aiz
bottle of 'Favorite rreacription'and 'Golden
Medical Discovery.' and I used It as you
directed. When you wrote me words of en
couragement on April 17th I had received no
benefit from the medicine, but determined ass
last resort to gin it a fair trial. I am now tak
ing the thirteenth and last bottle. I have
lovely baby girl three weeks old, that weighed
11 pounds at birth. My baby and I arc enjoy
ing perfect health, tharika to your wonderful
medicine, to which I believe I owe my life. -

contains if they are convinced that so
radical an operation ailords the only
reasonable chance of saving life. Mod
ern surgery Is not cnly daring beyond
every possible boundary of tradition,
but it Is also so beneficial that the lim
its of ancient precedent become mat
ters of little account.
Once again the vflete east Is alarmed
over conditions existing in the west
Says the New York Tribune: "Is it
possible that it may be necessary to
call out the troops to stop the raids
of taln robbers In the west! Or must
the compar.ies organise a sufficknt
force of armed guards of their own to
protect tholr passengers and the prop
erty carried upon their routes? The
bandits upon well known lines have be
come so bold that new measures ap
pear to be called fur."
The recommendation ot Fish War
den Van Dusen that the closed Ashing
seasons be abolished, while a sugges
tion that comes rather abruptly to the
people. Is doubtless a very wise one.
Certain it Is that the March and April
runs of flab, will never be great enough
to supply the packing houses, and it Is
not reasonable to shut off the supply of
market fish. The matter is one that
will require careful consideration and
thorough discussion.
THE NORTHWEST PRESS.
Poet-Intelligencer: There is no or
ganization in the world deserving ot
heartier respect of more cordial sup
port than the Salvation army. It la
bors for the most part among those
whom no other organization can reach.-
Its work Is utterly self-sacrificing and
without hope of earthly reward. It fol
lows practically as well as theoreti
cally In the footsteps of Its Master.
No recognition of Its value, not mere
ly as a reformatory institution but as
an agency for the conservation of so
cial order, can be too generous.
The Dalles Times-Mountaineer: The
trouble which every city on the coast
is having in attempting to regulate,
control or eliminate gambling is an ar
gument In favor of a license law. It
is very evident that prohibitory laws
are ineffectual; that gambling is an
evil that cannot be prevented, then
why not regulate it with license?
Whenever people come to their right
senses they will undertake to regulate
vils Instead of attempting to prevent
them by oassing laws that are never
enforced.
Tlegram: Portland has grown big
enough to take care of itself. It can
do so if it cboses. The railroads are
not going to make a business of build
ing up Portland. They have Interests
elsewhere, as well as here, and It seems
sometimes that some roads discrimi
nate in favor of competitive points
Portland should be ready to compel
railroad favors by its own growth and
enterprise. .'
Portland New Age: Nobody can find
out whether "Jack" Matthews is chair
man of the republican state central
committee, as well as United Btates
marshal or not There Is nothing small
about Jack; he can bold one' or two
or three offices and not perspire a bit.
Portland Journal: The city fathers
fhould pass an ordinance lowering the
sidewalks. They are loo close to the
awnings.
Journal: Portland is rained over
much better than It is governed.

While the Govern m.;nt 's endeavoring
to protect the nation's wealth in the
best manner possible, it is very im
portant that we should endeavor to
protect our health from the inroads of
disease. The safest medicine to do
this Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By
strengthening the etomach, perfecting
the digestion and purifying the bloo'l.
It prevents disease from obtaining foot
hold. It will also cure dyspepsia,
flatulency, constipation, biliousness,
nervousness and malaria, fever and
ague. One bottle will convince you
of its value. Don't fall to try it.
