' THE STEAMSHIP PROPOSALS. The proposals now before the Astoria public fop the establishment here of steamship line to Alaska ar.d the Orient fctve practically been accepted by the citixens who have indicated an interest in the, matter by coming out and taking definite part in the negotiations; and it has now become so large and com manding an item in the budget of com munal affairs here, that no man, with a grain of public spirit may remain in th background an hour longer. It is vorv raential that toniifM's meeting at the Chamber of Commence in this behalf be attended by such a representative out further speculation, that there is rlhor sneeulation. that there is an active and intelligent spirit abroad in this city and that our people know a good thing when they have it thrust nun them. Come out and see Ifor your self what is hovering about you for your good and that of your home place, and take a man's interest in the part and function men are supposed to employ when disposing of such large affairs. Ttont leave the weight and brunt of this important deal on the shoulder of th few active and public minded men who have conducted it successfully thu far. It is up to you, Mr. Astorian; no matter where you live in the city, to get in and work for this thing; and your failure to do to will be taken as proof positive that you are not entitled to further consideration by Mr. Garland, nor any other promoter, either at home nor from abroad. Be on hand TONIGHT! . 0 TRADE NORMAL FOR SEASON. The "stringency" does not seem to have, left any marked impress behind it in the matter of current, seasonable trade in the City of Astoria. The mer chants are not complaining as yet, and the people are out and buying steadily, day and night, the scope of purchases ranging only a bit behind the volumne noted last year; and even yet a better average may be struck before Christ mo noon, when the retail season lapses for good and all. , There may be, in the general outcome, some notable deficiencies over last year, but they will be in specific lines, and trill hardly disturb the real sum of ex penditure when the January balances are struck; and even if the limit are under the record (in the face of all that threatened for the better part of two montiha past), we of Astoria will hav but small ground for grouching; the les ser evil is, at times, the thing to be happiest over, and afford a satisfaction not always felt or realize! when things are at a normal pitch. .' ' 1 0 ' PIN YOUR FAITH TO 1908. . There is a sort of concensus of feeling throughout this community, that the year 1908 is to be a banner year for Astoria, and the sentiment grows stead ily, .This is alright, and should not be disturbed by any useless doubts; Ifor the more we hug the impression the more Iff will strive for the reality; and in the striving we are to find compensa tion. Nothing comes to the sloth, the spiritless, the inert; life's winnings fall among those who are deep in the game with money and brains and energy all active and alive to the passing oppor tunities. , H 1908 is to' be a star year for As- Astoria it will not be because she is just unavoidably in the line of the march of events; but on account of the fact that some other and extraneous energy is at work making use of her resources and facilities and aptitude for the consuma tion of their particular ambitions; and GOATS from $5.75 to $35.00 all go at $3.75 to $19.50 Hundreds and Hundreds of the Very Latest Models in COATS and SUITS at Positively Manufacturers' Cost in some instances less We Have All Sizes and Styles Imaginable Fine Tailored Suits $17..Ki to $12.50, in this Sale for SIO to $22-60 The best time you will have to save money on ready-to-wear garments is during the next few days.

( 1908 Bounds good to us. Therefore, we must make the most of every pos sible agency we posses to secure the good fortune; we cannot sleep and ex pect it to stumble over us. We will make 1908 just what we shall make it by our own aggressive and wide-awake spirit and it will mean nothing more to us than we snail achieve of our volition and snap. o THE ANTI-REVOLVER WAVE. . The latest expression of wide-sprung popular feeling deal with the six-shoot er and the fool behind it, a well a the unhappy victim fa front of it; the wave is abroad over the land and it will hav some effect in creating an aotl revolver sentiment that may, in time, accomplish specific result in which the increased security of life and limb and freedom of ordinary humanity shall be largely conserved. The combination set up by a revolver and a fool is one that may not be permitted to expand itself if there is to be peace and security throughout the communities we each stand ifor j and the sooner a strong pub- lie opposition is set up against it the betjteaj fcp alt concerned including Che fool. The same old trouble confront us in this case a in all other matter of "popular concern: we 'American have so much law iwe are losing our respect for it and the breaking of it does not impress us as it should. We need a thoroueh course of applied law and penalty that shall re-awaken our re spect for ,and obedience, to the law, and this means all the law, and not the graver phase of it. We are altogether too indifferent to the etatutes and' ordi nance under which we live; it is up to all men to make the law respected. THE AMERICAN OPTIMIST. These are days when you can tell the natural optimist from the born pessi mist. Look close and you'll discover that eome of the most radical assail ant of existing evils are optimists, while many of the most professional con servatives are pessimists. 'And that circumstance point to th often overlooked fact that it is the hopeful citizen 'who carries the banner of every successful reform in this coun try. He believe that evils can be remedied and wrongs righted, while fre quently, hi opponent is the person whose conservatism u really stubborn hopelessness. ' The saving grace of America is optim ism. The resilient and regnant spin! otf the nation is hopefulness. While it is common these day to speak of "lack of confidence it is only the chronic pessimist who doe not have ultimate confidence, and who does not realize that, in the very nature of thing, our country is the paramount country of confidence. American optimism , is based on the solidest foundation on this planet. No observer can travel a day' journey any' where in America without marking the stupendous extent of unusued land and material We are a young country ana a young civilization. And the greatest vindication of Amer ican optimism is that it expresses itself not in the "What's the use?" attitude, but in doing battle manfully for better thine and the larger human welfare. American optimism is rising to the present occasion and rapidly taking command of the crisis. Exchange. PRESENTS PAINTING. , University of Oregon, EUOENE, Dec. 19.
