THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1609. THE MORNING! ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SPRING CLEANING tfow is the Accepted Time-Today the Day of Salvation. i " . . w. COMMON COUNCIL. SMnfffBMglrl 111 ir a FLTHY CONDITION OF STREETS Back nd Front Yards Filled With Garbaje, Street Filled With Wood and Rubbish, Furnish Employment for th More Enterprising Citizen. The time Is opportune for spring housecleantng in Astoria. .The peo ple of the city ought to be actuated by sufficient pride to at least put the front and back yards of their residences in a sanitary condition. A yard filled with choice roses, flowers and shrubbery Is more conducive to health and happi ness than a yard filled with hoopskirts, oyster and tomato caus and cast-off clothing. Some of the yards in As toria resemble more the hog ranch of a -farmer, and the odor is about as in viting. People should realize that cleanliness Is next to godliness and a great deal of sickness this spring can be prevented by placing residence property in a more sanitary condition. The streets are ankle deep with mud, out this will soon be obviated and when the street improvement department is fully organized and equipped better results will be obtained. There is not a city in the United States, but that civic improvement leagues ar taking hold of this work and assisting the authorities In purifying the existing conditions. In every newspaper are accounts of what the women are doing In this direction. The Seattl Post Intelligencer contains the following on the work being done in the small town of CbehalUs, Wash.: The citizens of Chehalis are getting ready to receive visitors. They expect to entertain many strangers during the coming summer and autumn. Among these coming are homeseekers and per sons interested In locations for invest ing capital.' They will probably judge the people by the appearanec of the streets and public buildings. Because of this general method of passing opin ions the cMe organizations of Che halis desire to make some important changes in the city. They are work ing for future development and seek ing a good class of homebullders. It is a good thing to have strangers visit our western cities and towns. Their coming is a signal for cleaning up and polishing the rusty spots. They should not be permitted to witness the stagnant mud pools, broken sidewalks and tumbled down fences. Private lawns should not be used for public grazing purposes In feeding the town cows. In a land where flowers grow to perfcl,n and bloom every month In the year, there should be a paradise of loveliness from the storehouse of nature. All these desirable features can be obtained by the people working harmoniously for better towns. Visitors are always Interested In the health of the Inhabitants of cities they expect to make their future homes. No city can appeal with force to the home seeker when Its cemetery is the most frequented spot and its office building r filled with uhvsictans. Such condi tions are nonecessary. They tome from poor sanitary laws and general neglect of public Improvements. Now is the time to remedy those evils In every town where they exist. It would be well to make a general cleaning up all along the line for fear that the best localities might be overlooked. savs; "I had been troubled wlta weakness of the back and kidneys foi a number of years.

Jlelland opened the ball by suggest ing that the committee on ways and means and the city attorney meet and draw up an ordinance licensing all kinds of business to make up the de ficiency caused by the loss of gam bling fines. Burns objected to passing license, and the matter went over. PERSONAL MENTION. H. Baxter of Ft. Stevens was in the city yesterday. William Black of Ilwaco was in the city yesterday. F. P.

Games Licensed Should Have Plug Removed. A good suggestion has been made by a prominent man who Is In a position to know what he la talking about. If the city licenses nlckel-in-the-slot ma chines they should be examined every day and see that they are not plugged. A large number of the machines are plugged. That Is, one half of the big prizes are fixed so that th"y do not stop on the dial. There is about 83 per cent in favor of the machine, and by removing the plugs there would not be over 60 per cent, which Is a large percentage. It is bad enough to li cense vice without giving a sucker a show for his money, and a removal of the plugs will confer a favor on about 1300 young and promising moral men of Astoria. to Seaside yesterday.
