I THE MORNING A STO RI AN, ASTORIA, OREGON. THURSDAY, JANUARY H, IMS. J ! I I v s is n r i r J'i : 1 1 ' !! j' i : ! 1 1; i, i ASTORIAYQUNGBOYS Complaint Made to Police of Dev . iltry Practiced by Kids. ARE CREATING NUISANCES Th Slrwl Car Company Will Diaeoi' tinu Its Waiting Room in Aldtr brook for the Roason That the Boys Hava Ma da It Filthy. i That there are a larg number of bad boys tn Astoria Is attested by the fact that vandalism Is on the increase; nightly depredations are committed and In most instances by young- boys ranging from It to 18 years of age. Tha parents of these boys seem to have no control over them. "or If they do, their time is too much occupied in at tending to society functions to at tend to duties at home. Complaints are made daily to. the police of devil ment and malicious mischief Indulged in by these boya The mischief is com mitted on the hills and outlying dis tricts, where there are no policemen. The only way a police officer can catch the average Astoria boy is waen he is asleep. Complaint is made that the electric lights In the resident districts are out a great portion of the time. This is caused by the nall boys catching hold of the ropes used for drawing up the arc lights, and shaking ihim, breaking the carbons. Probably the most,. contemptible tricks played by these boys is at the walking room of the street car company In Alderbrook. Toung boys and even young men com mit nuisances in the waiting room, and it is dirty, filthy and nauseating, so much so that women are compelled to stand out in the rain waiting for a street car, rather than go in the build ing. The nuisance has become so in tolerable that the street car company is going to tear down the waiting room. As long as It is unfit to. be used by women, it is not necessary as a nuisance-breeding spot for the Upper As toria hoodlums. Merchants and others who employ young boys complain about the habits of the boys. Many of them are un reliable," others are filthy in their hab its, and a large number are dishonest It is almost impossible to secure the services of a reliable boy in any busi ness in the city. Halt of tnem are cigarette fiends,, and their disgusting habits will not be-tolerated by those desiring to employ them. The parents do not seem 'to tare and have evident ly lost all control over the boys. Tbey are allowed on the streets at all hours of the, night nd .receive a street edu cation, Many i of 'them swear 'like pirates, and think It 'is smart. It shows a lack of home influence and home training. It would be far 'bet ter to stop sending money and mis slonarles to foreign countries when As toria is overcrowded with young heath' ens who need attention. of the church served a banquet to the visitors and members yesterday after noon, which was enjoyed by a large number.

An Ilwaca woman who has lost track of her husband offers a reward of $20 for his return, dead or alive. Can you guess why he left home? An Ilwaco minlter visited a man who had evidently gotten the worst of a fistic encounter, and told the man that he intended to pray that i he for give Casey for throwing the brick. "Mebbe, yer rlv-rence," said the fpa tlent, " 'ud be saving tolme if ye'd Just wait till 01 git well an' then pray for Casey." "And Is that the ocean out there?"! said a friend to N. C. Koefoed, who had Just arrived In Ilwaco from a mid dle state. "Yes," said Nick, proudly, "it was named after our county." An amusing incident occurred at W. B. Hawkins' meat market a few days ago.
