" KEW YORK CITY
MILLIONS OF MONEY SPENT
IN MARKING ADVENT OF
NEW YEAR.
NEW YORK, Jnn.9. One Influ
ence that will do much to start 191)9
on prOepcrou utter i the disburse
ment of enormous luim In payment
of Interest on bank deposits, itock
and other securities which will take
place during the tint half of January.
Over $20,000,000 la being paid Out In
Interest to Ihe laving banks deposi
tor in this city alone, far greater
sum than ever before has been dis
tributed la this way. The interest
payment on the eeurltie of stocks
nd bonds of railroads and other big
corporations held in New York will
amount to $60,000,000 or more and the
dUburscmenis of smaller' concerns In
profits and interest payments are es
timated at $25,000,000. The payment
of this grand total of over $ 100,000,000
It expected to give a decided Impetus
to investment to appear. The same
Influences are operative of course
throughout the country although in
no one locality do the amounts paid out
In thia way equal thoe distributed in
New York Added to this the profits
made by merchant from the excep
tionally good holiday trade which
was experienced throughout the coun
try according to reports received here
and it would seem that the tide of
prosperity Is likely to rise very rapid
ly during the coming twelve months.
An evidence that the last signs of
the panic disappeared with 198 and
that New York is once more fairly on
Ihe highroad to proiperity was affor
ded by the sire and lavinhnei of the
New Year crowds which broke all
previous records for sUe and fairly
iwamped the fashionable hotels and
restaurants with the golden flood of
coin poured out in the eoure of their
rejoicing over the advent of 1909. Al
though the capacity of "public dining
rooms In this city is doubled every
three yars, it never is tufficient for
the enormous thfngs that are an,
lous to spend money dining and win
ing on such occasions as this. The
New Year carnival has become such
tn established feature of New York
life that it attracts thousands of per
sons from other places and of course
no New Yorker worthy of the name
thinks of staying at home on such an
occasion, But next year another
large addition to the hotet dining fac
ilities of the Great White Way and
one designed especially for such gath
erings as this, and for banquet at
which thousand or more guesta as
lemble, will be opened In the new ad
dition to the Hotel Astor which this
year served more than six thousand
persona during the last twenty-fmir
hours of the old year. The new hall
is to be larger than most of the city
theatre and will accomodate three
thousand diners at one time. It Js
to be the largest f6om in any hotel
in the world and wltt present remark
able features of decoration and il
lumination. There may be a limit to
the multiplication of public dining
facilities required by New York, but
there is no indication that it Is likely
to be reached for years to come.
The question of air franchises, a
term now unknown, is likely In the
near future to become one of serious
Importance not onty to this city but
the whole United States, and one
which will eventually have to be set
tled by the Supreme Court of the Uni

ILWACO
Mia Muriel Alexander of Chinook
was a guest of Mrs. W. D, Hawkins,
of this city, for a few days this week.
Among the visitors to Astoria the
first of the week were: Mrs. James
Gold, Bert Graham and W. P. Rowe.
The weather, this week, has been
very favorable for coasting and sleigh
riding, and many young folk, and
older one also, are taking advantage
of this opportunity and are having
great fun, , " "
Geo. L. Colwell, of Astoria, wa a
business visitor to Ilwaco, Tuesday,
returning home the latter part of the
weekt
Mrs. W. A.' Winship and daughter,
were among the passengers, on the
"Hulda I" going to Astoria Tuesday
morning. .
Miss Edith Roe, accompanied by
her friend Mis Huff, left Monday for
Portland, where she goes to accept a
position of book-keeping.
Mr. Meyer left recently for Seat
tle to-visit her son, Frank Eckert and
wife of that city. . . '
Miss Mildred Morden was among
to do with skyscrapers as might be
expected, but with the fast approach
ing realization of the practical air
ship. Neither lias it to do with the
"rule of the road" for such craft, but
with the much more serious funda
mental problem, of their right to fly
over the land of any objecting person,
Indeed the old expression "free a the
air" would seem to need remodeling;
for Investigation show that the air
is not free at all at least not for air
shins .Under both the old Roman
and the English common law, upon
which our code i lounueu, an owners
title to hit orooertv is conceded to
extend from the center of the earth
to the infinite heavens. Such being
the case a man has no more right to
fly over the land owned by another
person than he has to dig a tunnel un
der U. The riahl to travel over a
city In an aeroplane would apparently
seem to be taxable as the right to run
an automobile on it streets. Simil
arly the operation of a line of airships
would seem to be subject to an air
franchise or charter as is that of a
street car line. The coming of the
alrshlii will ' brine no other equally
complicated problems -most of them
involving the need oi air ponce, with
out such an aucnev tmuRKlina would
become simple, while immigration
laws would be only a dead letter. Al
together the development of air craft
promises to bring up some very deli
cate problems, and also to establish
the commercial value of atr.
The actual denotation of alien irirl
victims of the international traffic iri
"white slavei," recently exposed by
United Stales District Attorney Ed
win W. Sims in Chicago, has given
immigration authorise of New York
an insight into the condition which
Mr. Sims found so annaUing that he
began a campaiijn against them in the
Chicago maganine Woman's world.
Younor Immigrant women, if unac
companied, are constantly made the
prey of procurers who, it teems, are
constantly hunting for girl victims,
hunting them at docks, railway sta
tion and trains, , Search is being
made for five Frenchmen who are
ai! to hive acted as agents of others
its France who carry on the villainous
traffic in girls, selling their victims
into slavery worse than death. As
a 'result the stir created by
the Women's World articles by Mr.
?imt! followed bv the references to
the traffic made by Secretary Straus
of the Department of Commerce re
doubled. The case of Alphonse and
Eva Defour, who escaped to France
from here, show the profits which
have been made by the procurers, for
they forfeited a $.'5,000 bond tn Chi
cago. The Dtifour. the Duvals, the
Michels and the Lairs have been
working 'together, "according to the
tapments of the United States Dis
trict Attorney Sims, in a systematized
traffic of international scope, as a
of the startling revela
tions made by him, letters are receiv
ed almost daily by authorities in
quiring about girl who have come to
New York to seek positions, otten
for the unnort of a home. Many of
these letter contain the most har
rowing appeal and the number re
M.ivt trive a startling Indication of
the wide ramification of this organ
ized traffic in vice.

LEFT FAT; BACK SLENDER.
By "Footlights."
Clau and his overweight chorus
from the "Aeroplane" company have
returned to New York in what may
he described a greatly reduced cir
cumstances, Not as to finances, let It
be said, nor yet in numbers, glory be,
but in avoirdupois that is to say,
grots flesh. The entire galaxy has
lost out in this respect, much to its
advantage. '
It seems the people out west will
support slim ballerinas, and no other,
and our famous "balloon chorus car
ried, so to speak, no weight with
them. They treated that prize collec
tion of fat New York beauties with an
unprecedented coldnest. Consequent
ly, Glau faced the problem of reduc
ing the'entire front and rear row at
once, or shipping them back "ex
cess" baggage, It wa a terrific job,
as all who saw the "Aeroplane" be
fore it left this tolerant town will
admitrbut our ingenious townsman
tackled it arid succeeded broke all
records, in fact. And thereby hangs a
tale worthy of any fat lady' atten
tion.. , :
Clau didn't rehearse his flock into
shape, nor starve them into line, nor
yet worry them, verbally, into shad
ows, lie paid salaries regularly and
let them eat and drink as they listed',
lit simply hung up a new rule in the
dressing-room to the effect 1 that
every lady leg than five foot aeven
who weighed in excess of ISO pound
must take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime (or about wher
her bedtime ought to be), of the fol
lowing: One half ounce Marmola, 1-2
ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aroma
tic, and 31 ounces Peppermint Water.
They did it and in a month averag
ed a loss of a pound a day apiece.
"That' a dandy receipt," ay Glau.
"Simple, pleasant, harmless and a
worker from the word 'go.' Wish I
could get a railroad rate reducer half
at good."

The Pure Food Law.
Secretary Wilson aay. "One of the
obiect of the law is to inform the
consumer of the prescence of certain
harmful drugs tn medicines. The
law requires that the amount of chlo
roform, opium, morphine, and other
habit iornujg drugs be stated on the
label of each bottle. The manufac
turers of Chamberlains couch remedy
have alway claimed that their reme
dy did not contain any of these drugs.
and the truth of thi clatm is now
fullv proven, as no mention of them
is made on the label. This remedy is
not only one of the safest, but one of
the best in use for coughs and colds.
Its value ha been proven beyond
question during !te many years it has
been in general use. For sale by
