WELL SUSTAINED METHODS.
It is well for the people of Astoria to
know, and remember, that among its
public boards of control, there is one
that pursues and sustains, at all times,
the safest and most conservative me
thods of business and to give it the
proper and timely measure of credit for
its care, and success, in the handling of
its big public trust. Reference is had
to the school board of district No. 1,
Astoria, than which no group of public
servants is doing better work for the
citizens and taxpayers. We are too
prone to neglect the expression of ap
preciation that is due to these agencies,
and altogether too eager to spring the
voice of complaint at some passing and
trivial fault; a human failing, of course,
but one that does not debar the opera
tion of the kindlier spirit of commenda
tion, when once wre think to indulge it.
The recent decision of the board to aban
don the costly work of moving the
McQure building, and the close scrutiny
and clever understanding of the condi
tions that wrought the determination to
save the expense of $10,000, is an ex
hibition of business acumen and intelli
gent discrimination, that is, on the
whole, rather unusual, and entirely meri
torious, and no taxpayer in the district
but will fully realize the value of such
service once he recognizes it. And apropos
of all this, it is well to think of the
necessity of retaining the services of
Judge Frank J. Taylor on the board, if
they can be secured once more, as he
has been conspicuous in the splendid
work achieved and cannot be readily
spared from a position to which he has
lent the best of his judgment at all
times.

ASTORIA'S HOLIDAYS.
One of the happiest features of As
torian life is the wide-spread attention
paid to the passing of the holidays. No
city in the country is more responsive to
the gala spirit than the City-by-the-Sea.
It is a winning idea always, and lends a
complacent tinge to the opinion that
strangers are likely to form of us, be
sides being helpful in a hundred other
ways. It opens up the sunny side of
home life and acts as a merging influ
ence upon the people, and brings them
closer together in the bonds of friendli
ness. The pending arrangements for the
two-day celebration of the Fourth of
July, and the annual Regatta, are well
underway, and promises an abundance of
unique and wholesale entertainment;
things that are pleasant to think of, and
which will contribute to the amusement,
and ultimate good will of thousands of
intending visitors, and keep alive in the
city the cohesive ardor of popular as
semblage and demonstration. It is a
good thing.

THE STEAMSHIP TIE-UP.
The San Francisco sailors' strike for
an advance of five dollars per month has
extended to th bippr linos of the ooat
and tratis-Paeiflo Companies, its Initial
movement beinjr anions the team
schooner lines, the larger development
being a sympathetic addendum. The
general feeling over the coast is that the
strikers will be successful, in view of the
extraordinary demand for transport
Hon facilities and the scarcity of men to
take the place of the contending sailors.
The oiiinir.e!4 of the strike chose an op
portune moment for enforcing their de
mand, and kept the demand within rea
sonable bounds two' elements that arc
likely to aid them in the contention.
Astoria will feel the tie-up sharply, at
least twenty vessels being involved that
constitute a regular fleet in and out
of here, with business. The Costa Rica
and the Barracouta are in the mix-up
and the Breakwater and Roanoke will
catch it next, unless the strike is broken
before they reach the Ray City.

THE DAY OF OBSTACLES.
With all the splendid pluck that she
possesses San Francisco is facing her day
of obstacles. The interminable scheme
of unravelling the confusion of her enor
mous business detail; supplying the
endless losses of public and commercial
record; summoning of absentee testi
mony on tens of thousands of vital
questions demanding immediate settle
ment; gradually unfolding the new and
baffling conditions wrought by the
quake and fire; facing undreamed-of con
tingencies and unescapable duties never
contemplated in the business career;
and above all, doing these things with
patience and a willingness to wait, when
every commercial instinct, and surround
ing circumtanee, is urging the utmost
expedition. This is the task to which
the great city and its great people have
set themselves, and the country at large,
with an apt knowledge of the measure of
the work, watches her hopefully, and
with the kindliest trust in her entire
ability to achieve ell she has undertaken,
and to shane her pride when the day of
smooth sailing shall have been reached
again.
DECIDE YOURSELF.
The Opportunity is Here, Backed by
Astoria Testimony.
Don's take our word for it.
Don't depend on a stranger's statement.
Read Astoria endorsement.
Read the statements of Astoria citizens
And decide for yourself.
Here is one case of it:
E. C. Ruland, printer, living on Astor
street, Astoria, Ore., says: "I have tried
several guaranteed kidney cures but con
sider Doan's Kidney Pills the best and
highly recommend the remedy to my
friends. My trouble had bothered me
.off and on for many years. I had pain
in the small of my back, sharp twinges
when stooping or lifting and the aching
bothered me a great deal at night I
was tired, languid and very nervous, but
since using Doan's Kidney Pills I have
not had these nervous spells nor the
headaches I used to suffer from. The
results have been a great improvement
in the condition of the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been so great
a help that I am continuing with them,
and fell sure of relief whenever suffering
from these troubles."
Remember the name Doan's and
take no other.

Brie oa Bille.
Among the humorous memories con
nected with English Judges Is one of
Justice Byles and bis horse. This em
inent Jurist was well known In his
profession for his work on "Bills," and
as this gave a fine opportunity for al
literation his associates were accus
tomed to bestow the name on th
horse, which was but a sorry steed.
"There goes Byles on Bills," thej took
pleasure in saying, and aa fa? Judge
rode out every afternoon they Indulged
dally in their little Joke. But the truth
was that the horse had another name,
known only to the master and his man,
and when a too curious client inquired
as to the judge's whereabouts he was
told by the servant, with a clear con
science, that "master was out on Business."

HI Moral Ir-ll'tla.
Many years ago Bill Smith was a
well known character In n Missouri
town whose name need not be mention
ed here. Bill was 11 colored boy who
roamed the streets at will. One day
he found a pocketbook containing 40,
and the owner's name was stamped
on the book.
But Bill burned the pocketbook and
spent the ?40 In riotous living. Of
course It was found out, and Bill was
arrested, tried, found guilty and sent
to the penitentiary for two years. He
served "his time, and when he emerged
ho knew something n bout making shoos.

old uciiualntiince met him and asked:
"Well, whut did they put you at In

When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison
