He was 41 years old and unmarried. Clam canning business, George Omen Is able to be around ' again. He was struck by the train, while trying to Jump on at Eleventh street in Astoria, and was severely hurt. LIST OP LETTERS cil has been Involved In a dispute with the three daily papers for some weeks 1 over the mattw of printing city notices. 'When offers were first invited, The As i torian presented the lowest bid, which was promptly rejected, along with those from the other papers." Later on the committee determined to secure new ; bids without the formality of adver : tislng therefor, and members are said " to have visited the various offices and secured statements of the minimum price that would be charged. However, ' no bid was formally tendered in writ s' ing, and the whole proceeding was ',- questionable. The committee secured ' an offer of 75 and 30 cents per "square inch" from the News, The Astorian ' and , Budget Informally stating that perhaps they could do the work for ' 80 cents and 40 cents. '; But the contract entered Into between the committee and the News puts a dif ' fertnt light on the matter. The expres . sion "square Inch" Is to interpreted 1 that it is made to mean more than two Inches. The wording of the con tract in this respect is as follows: ' "IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT A SQUARE INCH IS ONE INCH IN SPACE UP AND j DOWN THE COLUMN AND RUN- j NING LENGTHWISE OR HORIZON- TALLY ACROSS SUCH COLUMN ONE INCH." I Now, a newspaper inch means one inch of a column. A col- umn Is two and one-sixth inches! In width, so under the interpretation put on the expression in this contract, ! each column has two and one-sixth I inches. It will be noted that the lan ' guage is explicit In the extreme, and It is evident that the contract was jobbed with determination. The specification is In effect that there shall be two and one-sixth Inches In each newspaper col umn, and; of course, the beneficiary shall be paid two and one-sixth times as much as the general public would suppose from the committee's an nouncement. The contract has been awarded for a period of two years, which gives the News a cinch that does not fall every day to the lot of the toiler In the news paper business.

Prior to that time his birthday was only ob served by personal friends. The birth day of the celebrated Hostetters' Stonv ach Bitters was 60 years ago, and the fact that It has remained before the public continually since that time is positive proof that It Is founded on true merit.
