POLITICAL OFFICE HOLDERS.
Efforts are being made to arouse the
taxpayers of every community; the bus
iness men ho are afraid to express their
political opinion or po to the polls and
vote for fear of losing a customer; the
conservative element, who never take

well profit by this excellent example.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
The Astorian has been an earnest ad
vocate of civic improvement and through
its efforts and the efforts of the Woman's
Club many notk-able changes have tak
en place in Astoria, yet it is still far
from what it ought to he to invite

know little of what is going on in the
cities and towns of Washington and a
