ASTORIA, OREGON, SUNDAY, SKPTEMBKR 27, 1903. Look Here!! Something New!! That's precisely what the proposition is. Not something for nothing, but actual value for one-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 modem journalistic methods for increasing the paper's circulation, have decided to offer special inducement to prospective subscribers for the paper, and to that end have received limited consignments of three separate volumes which are to bo disposed of to subscribers at the rate of $1.00 PER VOLUME "Cutler's Red B00K of Priceless Receipts" "Webster's Common Sense Dictionary" "The Life of Pope Leo Xffl" As it would hardly be fair to old subscribers to offer any or all of these valuable works tojiow subscribers, since there is no increaso in 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 tho 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. r So Come Early and Avoid the Rush and Don't Get Left.

MALTMOXD jeoOF'INDG NEEDS A GUARDIAN. A man by name of Roberts made a trip up the coast recently and upon re turn to his home In New Orleans, filled a column of the Picayune with a lot of stuff very creditable to a Mexican "greaser" or a member of New Orleans Mafia but an enlightened American citi zen would blush to own It. In Calfor nla Roberts saw nothing but desert. He was surprised that Oregon territory was ever organized into a state. Washington was esqualjy as insignifi cant in his eyes. It's risky to allow a man like this to wander so far from home alone. He belongs to the blow-out-the-gas crowd an affliction left over from the past age. The wonder Is he didn't get caught in an elevator shaft or get run over by a street car. A country that charmed a Tom Reed, Inspired an Ella Wheeler Wilcox, re ceived eulogies from Grant and Mc Klnley and raised highest hopes in the breast of Roosevelt, makes no Impress ion on a Roberts of New Orleans. The Willamette river In whose "crystal depths inverted swings a picture of the sky," immortalized by Sara Simpson, is nothing more than a stream of water to Roberts. It's not recorded he knows it rung down hill. The great stream of commerce of the Northwest, the Columbia river, was passed un noticed by him. The commerce of the sound was equally insignificant In his eyes. The beauties -of snow-capped peaks of the mountain ranges were en tirely beyond his range of vision. The sound of the Pacific ocean, with tid ings from the ports of the world could uwakon no response in the void of Robert's breast and he has left the West. His home Is on the banks of the Mississippi arid his sphere shoot 'ing craps with the "niggers." There with his virtues circumscribed, his joys, and crimes confined,' Roberts may live and die, and tha world will have gain ed nothing by hie life nor lost in his doath. Never corrode, never weati nor expands ; in fact never give any trouble of, any kind and it used for all classes of work.

The Journal would like two of the bunch for the rest of their natural lives and Astoria Is willing It should have them. The Salem Journal exults in the re ceipt of three Recruits from Clatsop A GREAT INDUSTRY. The Corvallis Gazette thinks the farmers of Oregon are overlooking an Important industry in the production of goat skins. The United States an nually Imports $25,000,000 worth of goat skins. A large share of thepe are brought from India, China, Arabia and Southern Russia. The increasing popularity of certain classes of kid leather for foot wear, as well as gloves, j has Increas5d very greatly the demand for goatskins in the United States within recent years. In 1885 the value of goatskins imported was about 4,000, ("00, by 1890 it had grown to $9,000,000, by 1898 It was $15,000,000, in 1900 it was $22,000,000 and in 1903 $25,000,000 in lound numbers. The census of 1900 showed the num ber of goats in the United States to be less than 2,000,000,and when It Is understood that the skins of probably 20,000,000 goats were required to make the $25,000,000 worth Imported last year it would be seen that the supply from the United States could have formed but a small part of the total consump tion. Yet the fact that a large share of our supply of this Import comes from India, China France and Mexico, sug gests that there are large areas In the United States which might produce goats successfully and In -sufficiently large numbers to supply the entire home demand. The papers of Albany, Eugene and Marshfleld are lecturing their patrons against going away from horn? for Job printing. This pap?r has no pro test to offer on that score. The Asto rian is equipped with one of the best job offices in the state and Is turning out Job work that challenges compari son as to quality and price. The report of the committee on nav igation and commerce covering the condition of the channels of the river above the city, will be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce at its meeting tomorrow night. A question of importance to the city of Astoria is involved, and a full attendance should be present on the occasion. western extreme about 2 1-2 miles S. 78 decrees V. true (SW .by W. mag.) from capa Disappointment lighthouse.

S-21-O-20 TO DISCHARGE COAL CARGO Barkentine Omega Moored at the Flavel Wharf. The Tarn O'Shanter, a barkentine, loaded with lumbtr for San Pedro, Cal. left out yesterdiy. The barkentine Olga, loaded with lumber for San Francisco, was tow?d out yesterdiy. A new mate for .he Omega Is expect ed today. This is the barkentine which came In coal laden ree?ntly. The French bark Charles Gounod en- tered at the customs hou.ie yesterday from Sotirabay, Java. The Hchooner Irene cleared yster day for Uedondo with 975,000 feet of lumber. The lumber belongs to the Bibb Lumber Company of San Fran cisco. The workings of the lieu land law was demonstrated at The Dalles land office last Monday. By four o'clock In the morning a line began to form In front of the land office to filo upon soma yellow pine land that was to be thrown open. The second man in line placed lieu scrip on between 3000 anil 4000 acres of the best land while those The barkentine Omi?a will Iicc-ln rn, morrow mornliiB the discharge nf hurl cargo, or, at ltast, the greater portion of it, down at the, Flavel wharf. Brown fc McCabe, ihe well-known Prm of stevedors, will have charge of this part of the work. The cargo was Imported here from Newcastle, New South Wales, Austra lia, by the Holmes Ice & Coal Company of Portland. It consists In all of about 900 tons, 800 of which will be left at the Flavel wharf for Fort Stevvens. About 100 tons, will go to Fort Colum bia, but it is not settled as yet whether the vessel will be taken over to the latter fort or the coal transferred tp Its destination In a barge. Since the arrival of the barkentine a representative of the Holmes people, Mr. Holmes, Jr., has been superintend ing the construction of a hopper at the Flavel wharf, there being no bunkers at this place. The hopper prevents the waste of coal, which would necesarlly ensue in the transfer to cars without It. It will be removed immediately af ter the discharge of the cargo.
