ASTORIA, OREGON, FRIDAY, SCPTEMHKR 2K
LooR Here!! Something New!!
That's precisely what the proposition is. Not something for nothing, but actual
value for orie-third of what the same goods would cost you elsewhere.
THE DAILY ASTORIAN'S PREMIUM OFFER
The publishers of the Daily Astorian, in line with modern journalistic methods for increasing the paper's circulation, have decided to oft'er special inducement to
prospective subscribers for the paper, and to that end have received limited consignments of three separate volumes which are to be disposod of to subscribers at
the rate of
$1.00 PER VOLUME
"Cutler's Red B00K of Priceless Receipts" ' "Webster's Common Sense Dictionary"
r "The Life of Pope Leo XIII"
As it would hardly be fair to old subscribers to offer any or all of these valuable works to now subscribers, since there is no increase iu the price of tho paper,
The Astorian, in a spirit of fairness, hereby extends the same privilege to its old subscribers and invites them to step into the office and secure for $1.00 one of
these $3.00 books. Bear in mind that we mean exactly what we say in referring to the very limited number of books in the consignments.
. So Come Early and Avoid the Rush and Don't Get Left.

THE COUNRTY TAPERS AND THE FAIR.
The Portland Telegram, when it has
nothing else to write about, has fall:n
into the habit of taking up "certain
country papers" and lambasting them
on account of their alleged failure to
print gratis, "certain" stuff that is be
ing gent out by the state board of the
Lewis and Clark fair. By so doing the
Telegram is playing the role of a very
cheap advocate. - If employed by the
comissloners it is hardly earning its
money. If not employed, for the sake
of the fair, it would better save Us
space.
The facts are the "country papers"
have done and are doing more than all
other agencies combined for the 1905
fair. Without the support of th
country press the half million dollor ap
propriation for the enterprise would not
have passed the last legislature Be
cause of the friendly disposition shown
by the country press the board is not
warranted in still not only asking space
but dictating what shall go Into that
space. .Beggars cannot be choosers.
When Lydia Pinkham asks for space it
Is sold to her with the privilege of fur
nishing her own copy. The fair board
has put the Lewis and Clark fair on the
same plane with Lydia PInkham's plUs
and an appeal Is made to country pa
pers In sweet charity's name to adver
tise their wares. If Jeft alone the coun
try papers will support the fair, but
.they will do it In their own way. They
are doing It now, with scarcely an ex
ceptlon. What the papers object to is
the stuff sent out and the time it is
sent. It Is the practice with the board
to let the Portland papers have any
thing of a newsy nature that occurs in
connection with the fair, and the sec
retary, who is not a newspaper man,
is Instructed to send the left-over trash
to (he "country papers," and the "coun
try press", is showing good Judgment
in rejecting it. News, not ancient his
tory, is what the papers want, and If
the slate board of fair commissioners
will furnish Me country press with real

A BOrS WILD RIDE FOR LIFE.
With family around expecting him
to die with a son riding for life.lii miles
to get Dr. King's New Discovery for
consumption, coughs, and colds, W.
Brown, of Leesville, Ind., endured
death's agonies from asthma; but this
wonderful medicine gave Instant relief
and soon cured him. He writes:"I now
sleep soundly every night." Like mar
velous cures of consumption, pneu
monia, bronchitis, coughs, colds and
grip prove its matchless merit for all
throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed
bottles 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles fres
at Chas. Roger's drug store.
The Tacoma Ledger is certain the
dispatch from San Francisco telling of
the efforts of Harriman to maintain
that city as the. great part of thePaclflc
as against Seattle, meant Tacoma,
rather than Seattle as the rival of San
Francisco. And after admitting Taco
ma is not afraid of rivalry ar.d making a
guessthat Harrlman's big shops, after
all will be located at Tacoma, the Led
ger proceeds to give its reasons, which,
In the main, amusing as It may seem,
applies to Astoria as against Tacoma.
For Instance, following the line of least
resistance, this is the natural point for
trade of the Northwest to concentrate;
we have the shortest route to the PhU
Ipplnes and beyond, and facilities for
transition from rail to water.
Thanks to the Ledger for calling pub
lic attentlon to our port advantages,
but local bias should not be allowed
to ascribe to Tacoma advantages pos
sessed by Astoria only.
An Oakland divine, preaching on our
"Public schools," asks a remedy for
the present Godless trend. If he or other
religionists be not allowed to Intrude
his or their sectarian ideas on the pub
lic schools. The answer seems simple.
Bring Into his church and convert the
parents, and they will attend to the
religious training of their rhlldren at
home. In school they will be given the
secular education this country provides
a country that guarantes to each per
fect liberty of conscience.
