Astoria Tree Public Reading Room
The Astoria reading room is intended
to provide a pleasant, comfortable resort
for all classes of our citizens, young and
old, rich and poor, and. for "the strangers
within our gates,"
Such-an institution, is greatly needed
in this sea-port town, because,-
First.- Here, as ill every sea-port, there
are numerous disreputable places which
constantly exert an immense influence
for evil, especially amongst young men,
while there is no public institutions
whatever, outside of our churches and
Sabbath schools, calculated to exert, in
any degree, a counteracting influence.
Second. We recognize it as a duty we
owe to society at large, to afford a refuge
as te were, to the young men who reside
in tbs city and vicinity, also to strang
ers temporarily sojourning with us, and
who have not the opportunity of enjoy
ing the blessings and -comforts of "home,
sweet home,' where, without cost they
shall have the privilege of profitably
and pleasantly spending their leisure
hours of the day. and more especially of
the evening, and thus to some extent be
shielded a fid protected from the tempta
tions to which they are exposed while
seeking how to put in their 'time. By
this means many a young man may be
restrained from visiting those places ot
dissipation which too often lead to dis
ease and premature death.
Third. Many of those who go down
to the sea in ships and do business in
the great deep'' would gladly avail
themselves of the privilege of a public
reading Toom during their stay in port.
Many of these abstain from the use of
intoxicating drinks and have no desire
to visit drinking saloons. To such this
institution will be a boon and a blessing.
Last Iv As intelligent, progressive,
law abiding and law enforcing citizens,
our "city by the sea" baving now as
sumed such proportions as" guarantee
her future prosperity and growth, it is
time that we as a community shall in
augurate and maintain one or more of
those benevolent institutions which
mark the progress and stability of other
commercial cities, and which with God's
blessings nre calculated to increase
knowledge and become powerful factors
for the public good.

thankfully received and receipt acknowl

J&etfer From Captain "Winant,
Newport. Yaquina Bat.
November 11, 187T. j
D. C. Ireland, Esq.,
Daar Sir: I take the liberty of
dropping you a line for the purpose
of thanking you for the favorable
notice given by your paper to an
article published by myself in re
lation to certain Indians in this lo
callty. I must give you the credit
of publishing one of the most in
dependent and sidriied papers on
the coast, as I notice 3ou deal fairly
with all ques ions without regard
to locality, while at the same time
making n determined tight for As
toria. xn tin respect your paper
presents n striking contrast to- the
papers of Portland, where the whole
press seem to be laboring under a
fear that some portion ot the state
(aside from Portland), may increase
in wealth and importance.
This is a feeling that you are evi
dently not troubled with, having as
you do entire faith in the future
success or Astoria. I fully agree
with you in this view, as it would
seem that a river draining nearly
if not quite one half the continent,
and being one of the largest in
America, must at no distant day
have a large and flourishing city at
its mouth. This idea I have enter
tainedior years and I consider the
future greatness of Astoria as as
sured 'beyond a possible doubt.
You will probably notice in the
Corvallis Gazette an article in re
lation to a railroad to this point,
also-you will see the week follow
ing an article in regard to a break
water, or harbor of refuge for the
Pacific coast. I wish pirticularly
to call your attention to this last
matter, as it is one that I think will
interest yon, as it applies to the
whole coast. You will notice also
that the Washington territorial
assembly has passed a memorial on
this subject. I brought the matter
to the notice of Messrs. Reed and
Warmau of Pacific county, and
they deserve credit for the prompt
and energetic manner in which
they brought the matter before
their colleagues.
. v
Please send your paper to my
address regularly, and I will send
the amount of subscription on my
return to San Francisco. I remain
vours respectfully,
J. J. WINANT,
Xo. 107 California Market,
San Francisco, California
Encourage Strangers. The fol
lowing excerpt from the Statesman is
worthy of reproduction. The words ap
ply to Astoria, as well as Walla Walla.
The Statennun i-nyb: "When strangers
come here with means and propoc to en
gage in business, encourage tbem in all
po?ible ways. If they desire a lot for
building purpose.", tell it to them at a
reasonable rate. IF they with to establish
a manufacturing enterprise, and require
water power, don't ask thorn three times
as much m, thepri'dlege is worth. If you
do the chance i& tnat they will seek some
other locality, and leave j-ou with unpro
ductive property on 3'our hands. Owing
to want of foresieht the woolen mills were
driven to Dayton, and in the end have
been the means, of building up a formida
ble rival to Walla Walln. The origina
tor? of that enterprise desired to locate
here, but finding that watr power could
only be had at an enormous outlay, they
accepted the donation o a mill site from
Josse Day, and built their factory at a
town that then only hall an existence on
pnper. The surest way to build up n
town is to deal liberally with strangers.
In the eitrly settlement of the northwest
coast, Oregon-city had the lead and
promised to bo the chief town in the
cowiUry. Holders ol town lots taking j
navnutageof this, held their , property at
extravagant figures. The result wan the
location of a town named 'Portland, and
Oregon-city speculators were left. out. in
.thecold. Like begets like, and if-a selfish
policy killed Oregon-city, it mny prove
Fnjuiious to other towns. ' Welcome the
stranger within your gate." is an old in
junction, the wisdom of which is just as
apparent now-at when first uttered.. Let
us welcome iJtwcomen, aid them in se
curing locations, and in all suitable ways
make tlieimfeel that we are 5ined ,with
