Good Cough Medicine For Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the chil dren. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or .scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcber, of Ripley, W. Va says, "I have never used any thing other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfac tion." This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. NAME MEANS SOMETHING. When A. E.

Judge Trenchard and Commission ers Moore and Frye have caused to be prepared a statement of the ex penditures made during the year 1908 on the roads of the county, and the tabulation shows many interest ing figures. The Astorian will pub lish this statement in full within a short time, showing, as it does, all the work done in the various dis tricts of the county. Clatsop county may well be proud of its fine highways, some of which are so finely and substantially built that they would elicit admiration and praise from road builders from any State in the Unioa At the present time there are 2$ miles of gravelled roads in the county, 22.5 miles of rocked roads, and 26.5 miles laid with planks or puncheons. During the past year the total sum of $S2, 927.50 has been spent on the county roads of this county t big sum, but it is said there is much to show for it. Of this sum $55,079 was expended out of the general fund, and the sum of $27,848.50 out of the special fundi and outstanding warrants. Of this total sum of $13,53094 was spent on bridges and their attention. Generally speaking the sum of a little over $30,000 has been spent during the year on the county roads and bridges. Of this sura about $12, 000 had been provided for in the levy for roads and about $3000 for bridges, making a total of about $20,000 which had been provided for in the levy at the commencement of the year. In addition to this the sum of about $23,000 had been provided for by the special levies made in various dis tricts. Hence it appears that the county court has spent a consider able sum more than had been pro vided or; ia other words the budget has been exceeded to a considerable sum. But the county court appar ently found that it had the work to do, and could not drop it without ser- lusly interfering with the roads as a whole. It is understood that the bank and others advised the con tinuation of the work, even thougn this demanded going over the levy to a considerable extent Beware of Frequent Colds. A succession of colds or a pro traded cold is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh, from which few persons ever wholly recover. Give every cold the attention it deserves and you may avoid this disagreeable disease. How can you, cure a cold? Why not try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? It is highly recommend ed. Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn says: "Several " years ago I wa? bothered with my throat and lungs. Someone told me of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I began using h and it relieved me at once. Now my throat and lungs are sound and well." For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists.

Hot!, state commissioner of labor statistics and inspector of factories and work shops, warrant was issued yester day against the M. S. Copclnnd store on the charge of not having seats behind the counters for the gial employees. : Complaint had been made to Mr. Hoff from this city and he came to Astoria to prosecute the matter. After making a personal inspection Mr. Hoff asked for the Issuance of the warrant Mr. Copeland appeared in justice court yesterday to answer to the charge. Mr. Copeland denied with much vehemence that the company was guilty of any intentional or real violation of the state law. He as serted that chairs were provided, but that the girls found them to be in the way and were accustomed to put them out in front of the counters. Mr. Copeland insisted that the chairs were provided as the law requires; but that the young women employees themselves were alone responsible for the fact that they were not be hind the counters. Commissioner Hoff explained that the law has been adjudicated to mean that the chairs must be placed behind the counters, irrespective at to the fact that they may or may not be taken away by employees or others. Mr. Copeland evidently did not betieve that he was guilty of any in tentional wrongdoing, though per haps technically guilty, ' and he was reluctant to admit that he should be held responsible in the least Finally a compromise was reached. Mr. Copeland paid the coats of the ac tion, a trivial matter, and agreed to place stationery . seats behind the counters. It appears that there are persons in this city who are inter ested in the enforcement of the labor laws and it was from them that the original complaint was made. Other complaints of a more or less serious nature have apparently been made in relation to other places, though evi dently nothing is to be done with them at present. Probably many of the Astoria merchants are not aware of the strictness of the laws as regards the employment of child and female la bor, and even any technical violation is likely to bring on trouble. It is understood that the Copeland com pany believes that some one who feels inimical to the store made the original complaint. suit casN I CHINESE GENTLEMAN IS IN TROUBLE HE WRITES A LETTER TO THE PEOPLE, TELLING ALL ABOUT IT. Hart Schaffner Marx Clothing I UnBRELLAS MUFFLERS BATH ROBES QLOVES Dunlap No-Name & Stetson Hats "P. S. lut this bulsiness into paper let it every peable know it we please." It is evident that some one of the Chinese residents has run up against the Chinese societies, who try to rule with an iron hand, and apparently he is not beinsr permitted to rent building he wants. Hence, probable copying after the many communica tions that recently have filled the papers, he writes to the Astorian -bout it The communication doubt less will arouse the whole commun ity if allow ia all right and will to take please to stay remain. NEW TO-DAY I P MM. wtwwfHWstswtwwwtwwtw uuuum IIVUIIIU The following interesting com munication, written in a trood hand! in rather notably careful handwrit ing, has been received by the Astor ian with request to let the people know what it contains: "Dear Gentlment: We have hear a good news into Chinatown, as about rent for one building on the Bond street at 318. But the we chinese of merchants want take the building to run of Chinese general merchantdis in this city, for advantage. Now then, because all Chinese merchants get meeting at society two time they turn put out notice on the street to tell all Chinese don't allow rent for that building and forbiden too it is to said. If some peobte not is ac cording the notice to said. Will to take the building must be call so ciety peoble to make against that man. But we will to trie to speak of amrrican gcntlemcnts have get law is not allow rent for building or the business In town or not will please to say remain. If allow anything do it alright, What is the Chinese use secret society power make out against man rent for building or trads. We consideration have some society. Shame to get great power can boss what the Chinatown If this city has no forbiden that there secret society will be spoil In town has no advantage that we consideration re main.
