THE ASTORUN PUBLISHING CO.,
TIIK PUBLIC LIBRARY
IN the development and growth of
a town eacto individual is charged
w ith a responsibility In the conduct of
Its business affairs. The men make it
' their speciti business to foster the com
mercial and industrial growth particu
larly and the moral standing of the
community generally. The women have
their place in the social, moral and edu
rational advancement, and their work
leaves an Impress on the community
that time cannot efface. The people of
Astoria owe a debt of gratitude to the
women for many helpful acts, all of
which have been don with a modesty
far from being ostentatious, yet wield
ing unmistakable Influence in whatever
direction pointed. The public library
I la an Instance In point, as it is due
entirely to their efforts that that insti
tution lives and. thrives.
What is more, Astoriuns are proud
of their public library. They appreci
ate Its usefulness of an educational
'institution. Their appreciation is dem
onstrated In a practical manner when
ever there is an opportunity to make
such demonstration, as evidenced by
the generous support accorded public
entertainments for its benefit.
' The library is scarcely a dozen years
years old, yet it contains 2300 volumes
comprising fiction, history, religion and
science, and boasts a comprehensive
reference department, containing the
leading encyclopedias and dictionaries.
It has Qve daily papers, and a multi
tude of weeklies, as well as the current
magazines. These books,; papers, mag
azinea are housed in a large room
which Is also used as a reading room,
which Is free to all who care to use
it. The books are loaned out on a sub
scription plan, the charge being $3 for
one year, $1 for three monrhs, and
fifty cents for one month. These sub
scriptions are used ' to purchase new
books and to help defray the expense
of maintaining the institution.
It costs the board of directors $60 a
month to keep the library open, and
towards this expense the city pays J25
per month. The deficiency is made up
from the subscriptions and benefit en
tertainments that are given from time
to time.
Sunday in Astoria to the stranger
need not be a day of time waste 1. The
library is open every day b:ove)i i'r
lain hours, and alll a -e welcome to en
Joy its privileges. A librarian it al
ways in Attendance, and the reading
loom is cosy, warm and comfortable.
The credit for nil hese accommoda
tions, and the continued existence of
the Institution, belongs to the women of
Astoria.
EVEN our friend the enemy, after
Indulging In a little personal comment,
that Injures no one, "Desires to in
dorse in part the editorial published In
last Sunday's Astorian on gambling.
The Astorian is taking the proper view
of the matter, and while It. like all
public critics, is opposed to the business
of gambling and would be pleased to
see it wiped out altogether, ; yet it
seems to be a necessary evil."
' THE gambling question has aroused
Eugene. It took the suicide, of a
prominent young man to do the arous
ing, but now every game is closed
tighter than a drum. It will be nec
essary for something similar to occur
in Astoria before the municipal offi
cials wake' up.

with "Rah-rah-rah" so as not to in

GEN. Miles wishes It to be under

Many Astoria Reader.

From ecxema or any Itchiness of the

Doon's ointment has soothed mind
reds Here's w hat one man says:
R. B. Long, harness maker, employ
ed with John Clark ft Son, 104 Front
street, Portland, who resides at 348 Sec
ond street, same city, says: "Early lat
summer I broke out all over with body
ecxema tetter or Itch. I did not know
Just what It was nor what caused its
appearance, but I do know that the tor
ture I endured was something fierce
I was very mu?h alarmed about It, was
anxious ,o know what it was and what
caused it. I thought the best thing to
do was to go to a doctor for treatment.
I did so and was treated by different
ones but they fulled to do me any good
When I became the least bit overheat
ed I Just fairly clawed the skin off me
Anyone who has never had anything
of the kind knows nothing at all about
it. I whs in bad shape when I noticed
an advertisement in our paper about
Doan's Ointment being a sure cure for
such afflictions. I said to myself:
there's another fake, but I'll try It
It proved to be all that Is claimed for
It. Less :han two boxes made a com
plete cure In my c"ase. AUout this time
my younger brother wns taken with
he same affliction. A box and a half
of Doan's Ointment cured him. I know
what I am talking about when I say
that Doan's Ointment Is one remedy
which can be depended upon." '
Pl'nty more proof like this from As.

Charles Rogers and ask what his cut
tomers report. For sale by all dealers
