"ASTORIA, 1909."
This U our sjogaa, nowl ,
The new year must mean more ta
Astoria than any of her hundred
years and it is up to ns all to make it
the best ever.
There is no political impediment to
confuse, annoy, distract; for, nearly
two years to come we have nothing
to think of but business and com
merce and general up lift and that
will keep us going some.
No man knows what a day may
bring forth in a business way, nor
who will turn the propitious trick for
himself and the city and section, nor
on what basis the development will
hinge, lumber, fish, dairying, small
manufactures, shipping, grain, mills,
or what not. But we do know that
Astoria cannot stand still any longer;
that she must save her own situation
and secure her own future, using
every resource she possesses and un
fold others.,. The hour is our own,
the inspiration should be ours, the
achievement of something more and
better than we have now on record,
mast be ours. . . ,.
Let's get to it!
. The president favor four new bat
tleships. It will not be the fault of
Mr. Roosevelt if the Taft administra
tion is troubled with anything in the
nature of naval unpreparedness.'
Taft's plurality in Massachusetts is
110,423. The Socialists expected
largeN increase in the state, but Ilis
gen, though a resident of Massachu
setts, received there only 19.237 votes.
Colonel Bryan is said to have pur
chased a big tract of land in Texas
to be devoted to the growth of all
kinds of fruit An exception will be
made in the case of lemons, which
come to him naturally.
Bryan's plurality in Oklahoma has
settled down to 11,800. Th Repub
licans in the new state should reach
for it at the next trial vigorously and
confidently, and proceed at once to
organize thoroughly.

! many years.
Each year buudreda of pitchers claim
attentlou of the world, and each year
they are promptly forgotten. But I1U
nols produced a than who, althotiKb
now years deceased, has a brighter
nam than any of the great multitude.
In the great campaign of 1SS4, when
the rrovtdence club, then a member of
the National league, was fighting a bit
ter gam with Philadelphia, a catastro
phe occurred that seemingly would
disrupt Its chances of winning the pen
nant. A player named Sweeney, who
was pitching, was ordered to go Into
right Held to chang place with "Cyclone-
Miller. At that time It waa not
permissible to take a pitcher out of the
game. Whereupon Sweeney promptly
walked out of the game, leaving the
team with only eight men and with
on pitcher, Charles Kadnourne.
Two men tried to cover the field,
with the result that rrovldence was
completely snowed under. A meeting
of the directors was held to decide
whether or not the club should be dis
banded. Certainly a professional team
waa never iu a sorrier plight
Badbouroe was approached and the
proposition put to him. "I can win It
all right" said be quietly and In a
matter of fact tone.
And then followed the most remark
able battle for a pennant that the
world has ever seen. . Radbourne es
tablished a record that has never been
equaled, one that will live when more
xpenslve contests will have been
blissfully forgotten. Of twenty-seven
consecutive game Radbourne - won
twenty-six. In four game with Boa
ton be had three shutouts, only on
ran was scored and only seventeen
hits were made.. This defeat waa suf
fered at the hand of Buffalo by a
score of 2 to 0, and even then only
five hit were made off htm, showing
that the defeat was not due to poor
pitching. Needless to say, Providence
won the pennant or, rather. Bad
bourne won the pennant
But the great player had to pay the
price. No arm could stand the awful
strain without great agony. Morning
after morning when Radbourne arose
he could not lift his arm as high aa
his waist He had to brush his hair
with his left band. But he did not
give up the game. He would slip out
to tfie park about two hours before
the rest of the team put In an ap
pearance and would begin the excru
elating process of limbering up. He
would pitch the ball only a few feet
when he would first go out but he
would keep on trying time after time.

i CRYING ECONOMIES.
There are certain sharp economies
to be practiced in this city of ours
during the next year or two; not
radical, . nor crippling, nor diffuse;
but genuine and , business-like and
helpful The city has reached a pass,
as to noculation, commercial influ
ence and significance, where sudden
and widespread reduction of her ex
penditures would insure a worse re
sult even than , sheer extravagance;
bat there are many lines, department
al and otherwise, that may be mini
mized in cost for a few years to the
immense good of her civic credit, and
yet not, dwarf nor thwart her prog
ress and her best interests.
Property in Astoria must be reliev

Marked For Death
"Three years ago I was marked
for death. A grave-yard cough was
tearing my lungs to pieces. Doctors
failed, to help me, and hope had fled,
when my husband got Dr. King's
New Discovery," says Mrs. A. C.
Williams, of Bac, Ky. "The first
dose helped me and improvement
kept on nntil I had gained 53 pound?
'in weight and my health was fully
restored." This medicine holds, the
world's healing record for cooghi
and colds and lung and throat dis
eases. It prevents pneumonia. Sold

a snouting in Chinese that one could I
