SUNDAY .- Nov. 118, 1877 13&lftPe vxre abundanily supplied tcith-coin ve ehould not ask patrons to remit, but one 'of the very .'hardest things to do in this tcorld, is to rtiji a.printing office on "promises." Our busi ness it dll iR-tmall amounts, and it is about ae easy to spay -one time as another, hence vx trust that our (patrons teUlrtSly respond to our calh or the turns due us en account. The Astoria Railroad, The following brief paragraph from the Oregonianof the 16th contains more of justness toward Astoria, and this "vicinity, than we have seen in the edi torial columns of that paper during the last ten years. Lot us hope tRat this may be taken as an evidence of a kindlier feeling toward us in that quarter: The Oregonian says: The bill introduced by Mr. Mitchell in rela tion to the Oregon Central or westsido railroad will be generally commended. It ought to pass, though probably it will be difficult to pass it. From Forest Grove to Astoria this road would traverse a country whose value is far beyond the conception of most of our people. It has great resources in timber, coal and agricultural lands, and at no distant day will have a pop ulation exceeding the whole present population of Oregon. This railroad through it, would make it, at once. Value of the timber on the lands grant ed would more than suffice for the construction of the road. Chamber of Commerce. The Astoria Chamber of Commerce was thoroughly re-organized yesterday on a better basis than formerly. In stead of shares of stock to constitute membership the new constitution and by-laws provide for an initiation fee of $5 00 and dues of $1 00 per month for current expenses. There were present yesterday twenty-five persons who became active members. We art pleased to know that there is no longer a reasonable doubt of full and com plete success. The Chamber as or ganized in 1S73 has been very useful to Astoria, but as at present organized it will be very much more efficient Dr. Aug. C. Kinney was chosen tem porary chairman, and Prof. Ed. Cur tis, secretary. Important to Litigants. The Mountaineer informs us that Judge Mc Arthur has 'decided that all legal advertisements that are required to be published four or six consecu tive weeks, require to be published five or seven consecutive times in order to come within the intention and mean ing of the law. Heretofore the law has tjeen construed to mean four and six times. The cases against the Meth odist Mission, excepting the one brought by Dalles city will not there fore be heard at this term of court, ofing to the fact that the publication of the "Summons" for the defendants had not been ordered published a suf ficient number of weeks. In another column we publish a circular issued by Mr. E. C. Holden, on the subject of our free public reading room. This circular will be sent to the publishers of ti large num ber of newspapers and periodicals in the east and on the Pacific coast, with a request that the Astoria free reading room may be placed on their exchange list. This is a good move. Mr. Hol den evidently understands how to manage this business. We have never refused similar applications that have come to us for any such laudable pur pose, and the result of sending this ex cellent circular will be, we have no doubt, that our reading room will be bountifully supplied at a very moderate expense with an excellent variety of our leading newspapers and maga zines. Mr. H. informs us that he has a brother, a merchant in London, and that through him he intends to procure a supply of English shipping and other papers. Success to the Astoria read ing room say we. Eastern Oregon The Astorinn is doing more for the interests of Eastern Oregon than any other paper in the State. If you have a friend or a relative in that section of this country, send him the pa per on trial. Only one dollar for four mouths. rt cAirrr2 ED. -HENDERSON TYHO HAS BEEN - representing himself as a correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle has Revcr had any authority to act for us In that capaci ty and has never performed any service for us.

QHAS. deYOUNG & CO., Proprietors San Francisco Chronicle. The above advertisement is copied from the Oregonian. -It serves to il lustrate a class of dmposfcers quite too numerous. "redo not pretend toayl that the individual who called upon us a few days -ago, representing that he wasanagentof the Cincinnati Gazette, ds a fraud and imposter equal to Hen derson, but it is a safe rule to try such individuals by just to ask to see their ' Credentials." If the documents "hap pen 3 be in another coat pocket," or "in a satchel on board the boat," it is safe to say that the "bearer is a fraud." We do not ask the Clironicle to pay for this notice. PROCLAMATION. By the President of the U. S., 1 Washington City, Oct 23, 1877. The completed circle of summer and winter seed time and harvest has brought us to the accustomed season at which religious people celebrate with praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Almighty God. Tills de vout and public confession of the constant attendance of man upon the Divine Father for all good gifts of life and health, of peace and happiness, so early in our history made a habit or by our people, finds in the survey of the past year new grounds for its joyful and grateful manifestations in all the blessings which descend upon benignant seasons. This has been a memorable year over the wide territory of our country. "With all its diver sity of soil and climate and products, the earth has yielded a bountiful return to the la bor of the husbandman. The health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or widespread diseases. No great disasters of shipwreck upon our coasts or to our com merceon the seas have brought loss" and hard ship to merchants or mariners and the un clouded happiness of community with sym pathetic sorrow. In all that concerns our strength and peace and greatness as i na tion, in all that touches the permanence and security of our government and the benifv cent institutions on which it rests ; in all that affects the character and dispositions of our people and tests our capacity to enjoy and uphold the equal and free condition of societv is now permanent and universal throughout the land. The experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting prov idence of God, and is full of promise and hope for coming generations. L nder a sense of these infinite obligations to the Great Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frail ties, if auy degree of that perfect concord and happiness, peace and justice which such great mercies should diffuse through the hearts and lives of our people do not alto gether and always and everywhere prevail. Let us with one spirit and one voice lift up praise and thanksgiving to God for his mani fold goodness to our land, and his manifest care for the nation. Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States, do anooint Thursday, the 29th day of November next, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and i earnestly recommend that withdrawing themselves from secular cares and labors, the people of the United States do meet together on that day in their respective places ol wor ship, there to give thanks and praise to Al mighty God for His mercies, and to devoutly beseech their continuance, In witness whereof, etc "R.
