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.

ABOUT $80,000, BUT THERE IS
SAID TO BE MUCH TO
SHOW FOR IT.
Judge Trenchard and Commission
ers Moore and Frye have caused to
be prepared a statement of the ex
penditures made during the year
1908 on the roads of the county, and
the tabulation shows many interest
ing figures. The Astorian will pub
lish this statement in full within a
short time, showing, as it does, all
the work done in the various dis
tricts of the county.
Clatsop county may well be proud
of its fine highways, some of which
are so finely and substantially built
that they would elicit admiration and
praise from road builders from any
State in the Unioa At the present
time there are 2$ 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.

STATE FACTORY INSPECTOR
ISSUES WARRANT AGAINST
A LOCAL STORE.
At the instance of O. F. 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.

"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

ity if allow ia all right and will to
