The Astorlan guarantees to Its ad
vertisers the largest circulation of any
newspaper published on the Columbia
River.
The Hotel "World, In an editorial on
the value of a good hotel, has this to
say: "William E, Curtis, the famous
correspondent, who has traveled In
every country on the globe, and been a
boarder at the Waldorf-Astoria, New
York; the Cecil, London; the Conti
nental, Paris, and enjoyed the comforts
of the kahns of India and Persia, de
clares that nothing helps a town so
much as a good hotel. He quotes the
trifling Influence the building of a new
courthouse or other public building has
on a town compared with that of a
modern hotel and places the new hotel
above every other effort to advertise
and help a town to a dignified position."
No man is qualified to speak more ac
curately on this subject than Mr. Cur
tis and his observations have appli
cation In' Astoria. A modern, up-to-date
hotel here would fill a long-felt
want and there will never be a more
nusplcious time for one to be built.
Portland's hotel accomodations are now
Inadequate for the traveling public and
with the 1905 fair coming on, It will be
swamped. Portland may may build
more but It is hardly probable that U
will build In time, any more first-class,
or even second-class, hotels.
Astoria Is In position to catch the
overplus. The fair grounds are on the
A. & C. railroad, and every Astoria
train will be in plain view of the
crowds. ' A large sign should be erect
ed opposite the grounds telling how
long a run to the city founded by John
Jacob Astor and to the Pacific ocean
end the same sign should give assur
ance of good hotel accomodations. As
toria is In a position to reap Immediate
and future results from the coming
fair, hut the erection of a hotel Is nec
essary to secure fullest results.
, Aside from future prospects there is
demand for a modern hotel now. It
lu-ed not be as large as the Hotel Port
land but of proportions to meet the de
mands and of modern equipment. Such
a building, hotel men say, should bo a
good investment In Astoria. Its worth

money .v .; ,

menting on the British crisis, says:
"With Ritchie and Chamberlain gone,
tha cabinet is now a most despicable
collection of brainless nonentities with
the exception of Balfour, Wyndham and
the Duke of Devonshire."
The 33 1-3 per cent Increase in Clat
sop's valuation means merely a reduc
tion of 33-1-3 per cenf in tax levies a
tondition that would have been brought
about long ago had it ijot been for the
old method of levying state taxes.
The first thing we know somebody
will be employing the expression
"strenuous" in dealing with the British
political situation.

It is to be presumed from perusal of

Imagine anyone getting $500,000 out

other day, is hopelessly insane.
