rend In this morning's Astorlan the nar
ratlve of the eastern visitor who ways
ihat "being used to It" Is responsible
for our present munclpal wretchedness.
I nm not a native of Wisconsin, have
not lived In Chicago, nor have I met
any Astoria knockers on the transcon
tinental trains. I nm a native of Ore
gon, have always lived In Astoria, pro
fess to know something about the
place, and feel nt liberty, In conse-
e.ueiu'e, to defend iho city from the
easterner's sally.
I nm quite "willing to admit that
much of the easterner's narrative Is
painfully true, Some of tho streets
in some of the residence sections are
very bad. and unsightly woodpiles are
too numerous. There's much room for
Improvement In the city, and I share
the easterner's view that Astoria, to
the man who travels ever certain sec
tions It, is not as attractive as it
should be.
Hut I stoutly insist that "being used
to It" Is not tho cause of our wretch-!
ness. I hnppen to live In what is!
"About a year ago. We icvd to lmv
old plank streets, full of holes and tin
sightly, and we had them so hn(j v
almost (Sot used to them. lieu eve
we pot over that, and now we're put

Improves the looks of things- don
you think 'so?"
, "Why, I have lived In I'hlciiKo nn
other eastern cities, and 1 have new
seen prettier streets. There are some
mtfchty Hue homes In this section, too.
As we stand at the corner ndmtrlui!
the residences, Councilman X com

from Wisconsin.
"I have just been compliment lug you
oa your fine streets," says the cast
emer. ,
"Thanks," replies the councilman
"We have spent considerable mone

cement sidewalks, meets our Raz.?. To
the left we see the hospital grounds
to the right the foundation of the new
50,000 city hall. We Jook east and
e macadam streets and cement side
walks. To the south we see the same
fine streets and sidewalks, and to the
west conditions are exactly the same.
"Pretty fine streets you have here,"
comments our friend from Wisconsin.
"Xlce sidewalks, too."
"Yep," I reply (employing the lan
guage of the natives).
"Cost lots of money, don't they," ho.
continues.
"A good deal."
"What did this street cowt?" he goe
on, indicating Sixteenth.
"About $13,000."
"How njany blocks?"
Five."
Then we go up Sixteenth and Frank
lin avenue, and in every direction we
see macadam streets and cement side
walks. At Fifteenth and Franklin the
streets are of macadam and the walks
of cement In every direction, and the
same a block further south.
"Those streets and walks look new,"
remarks our friend. ', ,
"Yep" (still clinging to my native
tongue).
ord Is not a poor one. Next year we're
Koing to Improve those utreets down
In MVOItire's Astoria. We made the
start there this year, hut there's
limit to this sort of thing, you know
The roik supply at present prevents
more extensive work, but we feel that
the start having been made, we wll
come out all right.
' If you've plenty of time tomorrow
come with me for u drive out Into
tho country. We will go over the
Nehalem road. This road lias not yet
been completed, but we have rpent
?3'Vn;0 n It already, and will extern
it south to tho county line, or. If you
wish, we will go down' to Seaside. The
r-caside roads Have tost pei.mp
1 50,000."
"What's the population of j'our
county?" asks the easterner.
"Twenty thousand," replies the
councllmun.
"lly Jove! You people surely are en
terprising." Our visiting friend accepts my Invi
tation to have a some h e cream soda,
and as we start fur the business dis
trict he remarks:
"Singular, Isn't It, that when n town
commences to be a city It commence
all at once!"
I agree with him, nnd then add:
"And don't you know, the people are
Improving, too. Why, every once In
a while I hear some enterprising As
torlan saying 'yes' for 'yep'!"
Moral: The knocker will always
overlook your good points like a whit
check and elaborate upon your bad
ones until they resemble mountains.

Stroessel Gives Praise and Thanks for
Japanese Repulse.
Chefoo, Oct. 3, 2 p. m. An official
report from General Stoessel, dated
September 23, reached Chefoo today,
confirming a previous report of the re
pulse of the Japanese attack on Port
Arthur, which began September 19 and
ended September 22. The fight was of
an extremely severe character. The
Japanese having retired, General Stoes
sel issued the following proclamation:
"Glory! Thanks to God! Glory to
our heroic garrison. Glory to Illmann,
Sychaff and Poggorsk heroes all!
Thanks to our valiant volunteers who
routed the enemy from the trenches,
destroying them. God has permitted
us to repulse the enemy. Praise to
God."
they Indulge In foolish escapades, re
ports of which are spread broadcast
about the country, giving a wrong Im
presslon of American student life. The
thing that I want to leave with the
young men of today Js that the repu
tatlon of the University of Michigan Is
in your hands and that you should
see to It that your conduct does not
reflect upon Us good name."
