Astoria automobile enthusiasts have the best of reason to expect that they will be able to go all the way through from Seaside and Astoria to Portland in their own cars sometime early in the month of July. County Judge Trcnchard will by that time have the road prepared as far as Vesper no that an automobile ma yrcach that town from Astoria, President Lewis Russell of the Portland Automobile Club will, he asfurcn the Chamber of Commerce; in a letter received yesterday, be' able to complete the road from St Helens to Vesper by June 15th, on the proposition which was made by Judge JIaitan of the Columbia Coun ty Court to thci Astoria Chamber of Commerce Good Roads Commit tee which visited St. Helens on the 16th day of last August. After that date the financial disturbances came on and nothing was done of conse quence towards furthering this good road movement, the most important public improvement in this county since the completion of the railroads between Astoria and Portland. President Russell and Chairman F. A. Fisher of the Chamber of Com merce Good Road Committee will meet in St. Helens next Wednesday night and on Thursday morning make a trip of inspection from St. Hehni to Vesper. So far all of the progress and en terprise in this good road project has been evinced by Judge Trenchard and the two other members of the county court this county. And they should have the full credit of the great enterprise which it now seems U soon to be in a more or less perfect state of reality. It is not expected that the road will be anything like perfect for the first year or for the first several years, but perfection will begin in earnest from the date of the sending of the first automobile over the entire distance. Some Astorian may strive for this honor in July and ought to win it. The distance of the road from St. Helens through Pittsberg and Mist to Vesper is 41 miles. With the ex ception of 14 miles Judge Hattan has stated that this road is already in fairly good condition. Columbia County, through Judge Hattan, agreed to expend two dollars on the perfection of this road for every one dollar that the Portland Automobile Club would spend. In other words, Columbia county would put up two-thirds of the expense. The distance from Vesper to Astoria is 42 miles. Contracts have already been let by Judge Trenchard and the County Court and the construction work is now actually under way to take out the worst stretches of the road be tween Astoria and Jewell. The road- master and surveyor start out this week to locate between Jewell and Vesper better, grades for certain por tions of the road between those points. The road between Jewell and Vesper, however, is now being used every day in the week for hauling cream to the Clatskanie Landing where it is purchased by the branch of the Hazelwood Creamery located there. So far as the outlet roads to Clat sop Beach are concerned, the work has already been contracted for and the last portion of this work will be started a week from today. The east outlet road to the beach will pass the old Cairnsworth wreck, while the newest outlet road will connect with the county road at the junction of the Necanicum river, just west of Gearhart Park. There has been no time lost on this road since the project was taken up last summer, much to the credit of the excellent county court. And a road is now assured all the way to Tillamook by this time a year hence. In this letter to the Chamber of Commerce President Russell states that every effort of his club will be made to insure the completion of the Portland end of the road to Vesper by the 15th of of June. County Judge Trenchard state? that he will be able One of the Important Duties or Fnysicians ana hi is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that tle name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY , . . appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, bat as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthtully the SUDject ana to supply xne one perieci iaxauve icineujr wmi-u uaa nu theappoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. , ' This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of tiio, world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy,' but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and jlo get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether "you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages , of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.
