Word From Modesto
Intelligence was received in this
city yesterday, that Mrs. P. M.
Christiansen, of this city, had just
passed through an operation at the
samarium of Dr. Evans, at Modesto,
Cal., for the removal of a tumor; and
that the lady was very weak, but in
such cond'tion as to warrant the best
hope for her speedy recovery.
Administrator Named
Upon the petition of the widow of
the late, lamented Clark W. Carna
han, Judge Trcnchard yesterday ap
pointed E. A. Taylor, of this city,
administrator of the estate of dece
dent. The estate is scheduled at a
valuation of $17,500 and Mr. Taylor's

This ia the Day
Thin is the day whereon the negli
gent citien must pay his tax for the
year 1907 or go to the record as de
linquent and stand for the penalty;
and it is also the day whereon he
must register if he wants to cast any
vote at the primaries on the 17th of
this month. Either duty neglected
is calculated to work him a loss.
yesterday of the funeral of the late
L. P. Slack, the well known logger,

special boat was sent out from South

were conducted.

Truant Officer Toesche, of the
Boys' & Girls' Aid Society, of Port
land, arrived in this city yesterday on
a quest ni his own peculiar sort, and
went on to Seaside to prosecute it.
Just who the children are he has his
official and kindly eye on, has not
developed, but it may be said In pass
im that his errand is one of a bene
ficial sort to the youngsters involved,
whoever they are,
Expansion the Rule
The extension of the I. R. & N. up
the river bank on the north shore of
the Columbia from llwac to that
point opposite this city, yet to be
duly named, has been the cause for
. . . i
a good many projected ana aauai
improvements at all the stations
along the north beach line. Houses
arc going up and old buildings are
being fixed up and additions being
built galore; all with a view to the
further expansion of the summer
business is expected over that way.
An Artist in Turquoise
"Tinny" Arrigoni, chemical expert,
master mechanic and all-round artist
of Chemical No. 1, on Rond street,
has just completed painting the in
terior of that fire house with a deli
cate ami alluring turquoise blue,
which gleam with a radiance second
only to the Astoria hky that hangs
above it. He has also, with the as
sistance of colleague and understudy,
Gene Bussing, mounted a number of
automatic door springs and other
cotnrivancci of value and service, and
the place fairly scintillates with the
newest sort of newness at all points.
It has been remodelled in several
particulars and rivals the big head
quarter building up on Commercial
street, in comfort and adornment.

It is Not Expected the Road Will be
Anything Like Perfect the First
Year or for the First Several
Years.
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

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. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

The Chamber of Commerce has
received a written request from
President Seth Low of the National
Civic Federation asking that the
Chamber of Commerce indorse the
Hepburn bill prepared under the
auspices of that Federation by which
it is sought to amend the Sherman
anti-trust law, so that labor union-;
and farmers' organizations may be
legally allowed. Under the recent
decisions of the United States coiirts
such organizations are declared ille-
cal because in restraint of trade.
This matter will come up at the next
meeting of the Chamber.
BURIED IN HOME GROUND.
Hon. C. W. Carnahan Honored In
Death on Sunday Last
All that was mortal of Clark W.

lector of Customs at this port, was
laid to rest in his home-soil on Clat

was thronged with prominent citi
zens during the pre-sepulture ser
vice and these ardent friends went
in a body to the Twentieth street
station of the A. & C. where the fun
eral party took the noon express for
the Plains. Arrived there the body
was borne to the old Presbyterian
church which has housed many a
generation of Clatsop pioneers, in
cludinsr the honored family of the de
cedent, and there the beautiful ritual
of the Episcopal church was read in
the presence of a veritable host of
kinsmen and friends who had gather
ed from far and near on this last sad
errand of respect and sympathy.
There was a profusion of flowers
in evidence everywhere and the
music for the occasion was as beauti
fully chosen as it was rendred; while
the sermon of the hour was replete
with thought and history incident to
day and its solemn task. At the con
clusion of the service, the dead son

sented in his own life.
