PAYS HIS COMPLIMENTS
TO SEAWALL BILL
TAXPAYER SCORES ONE OF
THE CHAMPIONS OF THIS
COMATOSE MEASURE.
"I notice in last night's Budget a
long article headed, 'Proposed Sea
wall a Needed Improvement
"Figures show its construction will
save property owners many thou
sands of dollars in maintaining
streets.
"I had thought that the seawall
bill was practically dead, having been
given up for dead, even by its spon
sors. It reminds me of the descrip
tioa of a laty, shiftless fellow That
he was already dead, but did not
have the sense to lay down.' The
man who wrote the article for the
Budget is not a good, loyal citixen of
Astoria: he is also misinformed on
the scope and meaning of the seawall
bill, or if he is, he is a wilful prevari
cator. He also has the makings of a
first-class, demagogue if he is not
one already yet. In the first place he
says, 'Astoria has had the reputation
of being a mossback town," etc It
it not so; Astoria has the reputation
of being the most interprising and
rushing town in the northwest; its
citizens have given up their money,
time and substance, liberally to all
legitimate enterprises and have built
the second largest town in the State
and got t railroad to it, all by them'
selves, or largely by their efforts.
"The wilful misrepresentation of
the scope and meaning of the seawall
bill is something that should be
frowned on by all good citizens and
reputable newspapers. It is evident
ly intended to influence voters who
do not know, or have not the time
to inform themselves on the meas
ure. The seawall commission would
have the power to at once issue and
sell bonds amounting to $300,000 to
build seawall and bulkheads this
amount to be paid by general taxa
tion on all the property of the city of
Astoria. There it no mention in th;
bill about establishing grades, nor as
to formulating plant or data in re
gard to seawall, or anything else,
they simply can go ahead and do as
they please in the premises, and there
it no saving clanse, or recourse for
the people. The mandate of the com
mission would be final and all one
could do in the matter, would be to
walk up and pay the bills. I have
yet to bear of any of the property
owners on Commercial street who
wishes a seawall built. They seem to
be satisfied to pay for their street
improvements, and so far have not
asked the property owners on the
hiitsutct to help pay them. It would
be just as fair and equitable to ask the
Commercial street property owners
to help pay for the street improve
ments on the hills, but Ihey won't do
it I said that the Budget corres
pondent was a demagogue; he says
'The $300,000 proposed to be ex
pended, will be distributed among
the laboring , classes.' Mark you
the laboring classes.' Be not de
ceived my laboring class friends; he
should have said, 'We will, rob you
to help build a seawall,' and he, or
they, will build it when they get
ready, but you will hold the empty
sack. When the Job is finished, if it
ever is finished, and have the prin
cipal and interest to pay afterwards;
that is, if you own a lot in the city
of Astoria. If you do not own a lot
or have no hopes or expectation of
doing to, then help your friends who
do own property, by voting against
this inquitous bill."

OFFICE SEEKER GETS
10 OLD PLACE
IS MEMBER OP THE COUNCIL
AND HEARS SOME CRITI
CISM THAT TICKLED HIM
A member of the common council
stepped into a store near the water
front yesterday. The proprietor of
the place was not in, and hia son
steDDed forward to wait on the
customer.
The councilman and the proprietor
are old friends, but the son did not
know the identity of the man before
him.
After a moment or two the young
man and the councilman struck up a
conversation, and the talk turned to
the coming municipal election.
"Well, there ought to be some
change," said the. young man. "There
ought to be a change in the council
The people are being ruined by the
excess of taxation. Personally most
of the councilmen are all right,
suppose, but it looks at if they have
arot on the wrong- tack, and it
wouldn't do any harm, to bar
change."
"Whafs the matter with the conn
ciir asked the councilman, who by
this time didn't want to announce his
identity.
"There's only one really good man
in the council," retorted the young
man, "according to my idea. That's
Belland. He may be a crank, and an
objector, at they say, but he tends
strictly to the peoples' business."
"Bellandr
"Yes. Belland."
"Well, look here, 1 know Belland
better than you do," said the coun
cilman, "and I don't think much of
him. I know him just well enough
to know that he ain't what he might
be."
"Look at his record," said the
votine man. "He votes right He
protect the interestt of the people.
Maybe you think yon know him well
but you don't. What have you got
to say against him, anyway?"
"I say there are other men just as
good as Belland, if not better.
By this time the argument was
getting slightly warm.

NOTE AND COMMENT OF IN
TEREST FROM SNUO LITTLE
WEST SIDE CITY.
Nathaniel Horton, the man who
endeavored, last year, to make a get
away from Warrenton, via the "gates
of death" and over the special route
of drowning (presumably on a try
out for insurance money) and for
whom hia wife mourned deply and
was consequently an object of earnest
solicitude for many months among
the good wotnen of that little city,
has turned up again in the flesh and
hat as many stories to tell, at he has
aliases. He was in Warrenton for
three days, and that was about as
long as he could stand the uncon
cealed contempt of the people of that
place. He has also been seen about
this city.
Miss F.mma Warren, county su
perintendent, spent Tuesday last in
Warrenton, examining the public
schools there, much to her satisfac
tion, and to the pleasure of all con
cerned at that place.
The recent storm were severly
felt down Warrenton way, and one
of the plainest effects was the en
forced shutting down on the Kelly
mills on that acocunt. Everything I
all right now, however.
George Warren has suffered the
loss of his fine blooded cows. The
animal took sick last week and Mr
Warren summoned a veterinary from
Portland, but skill nor medicine
served to save the valued animal. She
cost Mr. Warren $250,
Dr. Nellie Vernon, of llus city,
spent Wednesday in Warrenton, on
professional matters.
Yesterday the following well
known ladies of Warrenton, were in
Astoria in attendance upon the M. E.
Sunday school institute: Mesdames
C H. Parker, Bruce Rodgers, Lou
Harmon, E. R. Pearce, D. Halferty,
and the Misses None Townsend.
Maud Kindred, Mary and Mamie
Coffey, and Phillip Coffey.
"But do yon know BellandT

"You bet I do."
"Well, isn't he all right r
"Young man," said the council
man, "I'm Belland."
Then the big councilman from the
Fourth ward walked away.

If you neglect the aching back,
Urinary troubles, diabetes, surely

Doan's Kidney Pills relieve back
ache, Cure every kidney ill.
H. R. Carver, living at 286 Holi
day street, Portland, Ore., says:
"Some years ago Doan's Kidney
Pills proved of great benefit to me
and I publicly recommended them.
Since then I have advised many of
my fellow workmen to give them a
trial .and the results have been satis
factory in every instance. I believe
kidney trouble , in my case was
brought on by a cold. I had always
been somewhat skeptical regarding
proprietary medicines but somehow
the claims made for Doan's Kidney
Pills impressed me and I began their
use. Relief soon followed and I
have had no serious return of kidney
complaint since."
