The way to build up n town is to be

that there is a future for it; and for ev

spirit that does not hesitate to make a
present sacrifice in the faith that it will
make the town in which we live in some
way better in the future.
The Proper Caper.
A neatly printed, attractive little book
has just issued from the press of the Ap-
Ileton's with the title "Don't." It refers
to "mistakes and improprieties more or
less prevalent in conduct or speech," and
contains many valuable suggestions. But
it is attuned to tickle only ears polite,
and is calculated to strike the average
American citizen, who aspires to do the
proper thing, with dismay. There is usu
ally a good deal of humbug about this
sort of thing, the form being laid more
stress on as a rule than the substance,
and it is perfectly safe for the individual
to subject all such recommendations to
the test of common senso in the light of
experience. It is important certainly to
know what things are disagreeable in so
ciety ana uvuiu. iuuuj, uui, ynuii mo
knowledge, the heart, if it is a good one,
or can simulate a good one, will dictate
tho rest. It is but fair to observe that
most promulgations of social forms lay
down some such principle as this, but
then they drift off into setting forth
rales, manv of which are wholly snn2r-
ficial and fanciful. For those people who
can not think for themselves dogmas
have been more or less useful, whether in
politics, religion, or in the regulation of
.social conduct, but we protest against be
ing considered ill-mannered if we fail to
comply with certain things set down in
the hooka.
For instance, the censor in "Don't" tells
us not to eat soup from the end of the
spoon, but from the side. Now there are
numerous lnamauais wearing mmsuicnes
who have given this subject careful con
sideration, and they have, most of them,
come to the conclusion that it is not only
more convenient but better mannered
for them to take this liquid food from
the end of the spoon rather than to dab
ble their mustache through the whole
length of the trough, as it were, every
time iney raise me spoon 10 ineir lips.
It is more agreeable to themselves and
to those present. The law is also laid
down that you shall not leave your knife
and fork on you plate when sending for a
second supply. This is well enough per
haps, but it strikes tho author of "Don't'
as not being entirely orthodox, and he en
ters into a deep train of thought con
cerning it, which leaves him with the
imprrcsion that tho strictly just process
to pursue is to divide the responsibility
and retain the knife in the hand while
the fork follows the fortune of the plate.
The subject is rather too abstruse to re
ceive careful treatment in an editorial
article, and, since authorities differ, we
are compelled to leave it in a painful
estate of uncertainty. We cordially in
dorse the injunction, however, not to
.spit bones and other rejected mat
ter out in a reckless manner, involving aB
it does the peace of mind and clothes of
.one's neighbors, but to lower them care-

assure ub
.how unnecessary it is to do this, it ex
plains that a silver knife is now placed
3y the side of each plate for the fish
course. Now there are a few secluded spots
into which the full light of civilization
has not penetrated where a silver knife
is not thus placed. In such anemer-
5aicyUie only plan seems to bo to omit
."We are also entreated not to wear
soiled linen, and above all thincs not to
blow tho nose with the fingers. In a work
which concerns itself with fine and intri

scarcely seem to be necessary. The per
son who bothers himself with the difficult
problem as to the disposition of the knife
and fork when sendins his plate for a
second supply, very rarely, if ever, has
May inclination to blow his nose with his
fiagers. Still it is well not to leave any

Corrpupondrnce Hctntrn Hr. Villard and the
Chamber of Commerce.
The following is farniahod by E. C.
Holden, Secretary of the Astoria Cham
bar of Commerce, for publication, in ac
cordance with a resolution passed at the
last meeting of the chamber.
On the 13th of last September Mr. Yil
lard wrote n letter from Portland to the
chamber in which he said: ''Referring to
the conference had with the committee
of your Chamber of Commorcs at my
office in this city on April 24th, last, lam
only now able to redeem the promlso then
made, that I would inform your Chamber
of Commerce at the earliest possible mo
ment of the result of the survey of the
Astoria-Forest Grove line. So many un
foreseen obstacles were encountered in
making the surveys that it was a matter
of absolute impossibility to complete tho
work at an earlier date. I regret to say
that the estimates of the cost of the line
in question, now before me, are so large
that it will be impossible for the Oregon
& Transcontinental Company as lessee
of the Oregon & California Railroad
Company, to undertake its construction.
According to the cnjriueerh' Ssrure. the
i cost will be no les? than an average of
T0,000 per mile, in money, not including
tho probable cost of proper terminal fa
cilities at Astoria, estimated at 7."i0,000.
Under tho existing mortgage we could
not possibly issue more than the
nominal amount of 30,000 per mile in
bonds on tho line, and there are abso
lutely no means to meet the deficiency at
the command of cither party. "Wo must,
therefore abandon the project."
To this, on the 18th of September, the
following telegraphic reply was sent :
'If contract for huildiufc Astoria and
Forest Grove railroad complete could be
let at $30,000 per mile, and lands for ter
minus at Astoria donated, will you com
mence construction of roadr
On Sept. 21st, Mr. Villard t?ltgrRphpd
m response: "Will im very giau to pny
anyone who will build the road in accord
ance with engineers' i!ans and specifica
tions, twenty thousand dollar per mile in
first, and ten thousand dollars per milo
in second mortgage bonds, all the avail
able means the coiupuij has, provided
proper terminal facilities m Astoria are
assured. To correct misimpression will
add that tho estimate of cost includes
full equipment of buildings, discount on
bonds, interest during construction, gen
eral expenses, and other items not in
cluded m the estimates proper of the en
gineers.
On September 23th the following tele
gram was sent by the chamber of com
merce to Mr. Villard.
''Will you permit us to examine your
engineers plans anu specihcationswitu n
view of deciding about t he acceptance of
your offer?"
On October 2 tho following dispatch
was received from Mr. Villard in reply:
"Your position is not consistent, ou
first disputed correctness of our survey:
now you wish to use it to base bids on. 1
cannot allow anyone to use the beneut of
oar survey without reimbursement of
cost."
Upon receipt of the foregoing the cham
ber deemed it advisable to send Mr. Vil
lard a letter of which
thu roLiiOWiKG is a copy :

Xetv York:
DnAB Sin: l'our telegram of Octo
ber 2d duly received. The chamler
directs mo to reply that there seems to
be some misunderstanding. J.iie cliam

as follows: If contract for building Astoria-Forest

lands for terminus at Astoria donated,
will you then commence construction of
roadir" was based on a proposition
made to build a ntandard guage road.
Your answer of September 20th to that
inquiry was that you would be very glad
to pay anyone wno wouiu ounu in ac
cordance with your engineers' plans and
specifications twenty thousand dollars
per mile m nrst anu ten thousand dollars
per mile in second mortgage oonus,
proper terminal facilities in Astoria as-
tun;u. it v men ohtu ueruubsiuu m cu
the plans land specifications and you re
ply that our position is inconsistent, mat
wo first dispute the correctness of your
survey and now wish to use it to base
pute the figures of your engineers; but
if we can see our way to raise the amount
of money required over and above tho
twenty thousand dollars nrst mortgage
and ten thousand dollars second mort
gage bonds and place ourselves in a post
tion to build the road as vou wish, it is
not apparent to us how we are inconsis
tent in asking to be permitted to use the
plans and specifications in accordance
with which we are required to build.
You certninly could not expect anyone to
undertako a contract on uniniown plans.
It is for tho express purpose of placing
ourselves in a position to dotermine if we
can or cannot find sufficient means to
build the road that we ask tho privilege
of seeing your plans and specifications.
And with this explanation we again ask
to be allowed to see the plans and speciii
cations. Very respoctf ullv,
