ASTORIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY,
..MAY 9, 18S9.
MORE SHOUT STOPS.
Continuing yesterday's remarks
anent people rlio go arounil talking
"hard times," it is further to bo said
that the habit is only a habit. A good
many people in this little -world of
ours are afraid of competition. They
pretend poverty and talk dejectedly
when, ofttimes, the fact of the matter
is that they are trying to scare some
one away, particularly if they think
he is likely to embark in the same
business that they are carrying on.
They've been saying the same thing
so long that they believe it them
. selves if nobody else does, just as any
one -will -who has been telling the
same -story, true or false, for twenty
years.
The injury that these croakers do is
in this way. They impregnate strang
ers and visitors with a certain or un
certain amount of distrust. People
who know them don't mind them, but
to the visitor their fears and weak
nesses and abject expressions are no
ticeable and injurious to us as a com
munity. Every Astorian should, wherever he
is, talk for the town:have a good word
for it on all occasiens: meet with a
smile and a word of encouragement
the man who comes to cast his for
tunes with us; and aid him. In aiding
others wo aid ourselves. No man can
accumulate wealth without his neigh'
bors sharing in the prosperity, and
purely as a matter of selfish policy it
is bettor to build up than to try to
pull down.
Tho way to make '"hard times" is
to talk "hard times." Tho man who
talks ''hard times" thinks "hard
timo3," and would be a poor creature
if he had an income of a thousand dol
lars a day. It isn't tho amount of
ready monoy or property a man has
that makes him rich.
A man witn a clear conscience, a
good digestion, a faithful friend, and
S5 in his pocket, is richer, far richer,
than u poor man with a hundred
thousand dollars in tho bank, his
intestines twisted into a knot, and a
bcowl on his face as ho tries to turn
peoplo's heads over their shoulders
croaking and crying about imaginary
"hard times."
HE SENT IT EAST.
For n year I was troubled wllh palus In
my back and side, and headaches, the re
sult of liver and kidney trouble. I was
attracted to Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparllla,
by tho startling testimonials In the pa
pers. They seemed so practical I was in
duced to try it, knowing that as it was
purely vegetable, it would do no harm.
It acted as a gentle laxative. After the
second bottlo my pains and aches disap
peared. It did so much for mo that I
sent several bottles to my family in New
Jersey, who also toot It with the most
satisfactory results.

As Others See It.
There was a mass meeting of Asto
ria people at Ross' opera house in that
city on last Saturday evening, to see
what could be done towards "getting
a move" on the town, especially to get
some more money subscribed to tho
capital stock of the Astoria and South
Uoastraiiroau. xueoana uistriDuteu
some music, and a little enthusiasm
was awakend. After considerable talk,
a committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptions to tho stock of the com
pany. It seems that tho people of As
toria subscribed S&ljOOO to build a rail
road to the Seaside, about twenty
miles. They have some work done;
and a few contracts let but they find
that it will take at least 200,000 more
to complete the road, nnd they aro
looking around for this money. They
want to get to "tall timber," but it will
take more money than seems to bo in
sight There is no doubt but that if
all the people of Astoria would
interest themselves and go to
work, they would make the
thing go; but it seems there are
somemossbacks down there, and those
who want to do something, and help
out the town are discouraged. They
must just spit on their hands and take
a new hold. Just don't you ever let
up till you drive the last spike.

Their Business Booming
Probably no one thing lias caused such
a general rovival of trado at J. "W.
Conn's Drug btoro as his giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of Dr. Kinjz's New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from tho fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Jironclutls, Uroup, ana an
throat and Inns diseases nntckly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every

the investigating: committee.
New Yokk, May 8. The investigat
ing committee investigating tho work
ing of tho interstate commerce law
and Canadian roads doing business in
this country resumed work this morn
ing. Tho first witness called was presi
dent Chas. Francis Adams, of tho Un
ion Pacific. Mr. Adams thought that
tho interstate commerco law in many
cases was cruel. Those who obeyed it
lest: those who evaded it profited.
"I should like, however, to see it uni
versally obeyed and given a fair trial,"
said Mr. Adams, "and since January
I believe the law has been better
obeyed than over before. I know, for
instance, that large shippers who here
tofore practically dictated their own
terms can do so no longer. The inter
state commisioners, I know, are do
ing good work. Tho greatest service
commissioners could do railroads in
general would be to prosecute some
of tho offenders. Nothing wouldhavo
a better effect on tho situation."
Mr. Adams thought that the com
mon railroad law between Canada and
tho United States and a legalized pool
would be a good thing and would tend
to bring about a solution of the pros
ent trouble in reference to the Canad
ian roads.
"If you think tho interstate law a
eood thing, where does all tho opposi
tion come from?" asked Senator Blair.
"You must remember the country
has been built up on a system of dis
tribution which the interstate law has
shaken to its foundation. The long
and short haul clauses give, in effect,
to the smaller cities many of the ad
vantages hitherto exclusively enjoyed
by larger cities, and the consequence
is, in a city like San Francisco, the
opposition is very strong," was Mr.
Adams' answer.
PIEROE P0REST PIRES.
Montana Indians and the Sun Dance.
Sullivan, Mich., May 8. Forest
fires ignited this town yesterday and
burned tho larger portion of it. Tho
loss is 30,000. Twenty-five families
are thus rendered homeless and des
titute, and 100 people were fed nnd
sheltered at Raven valley, five miles
distant
AT NEWBURQ ALSO.
Newbuko. Now York, May 8. For
est fires are reported in tho Shawan
gunk mountains, and along the lino of
the New England railroad, and on the
state line. A largo amount of wood
land has been seriously damaged.
Fires are also reported on tho increase
in all directions.
THE INTER OCEAN BArXBOAS.
City of Mexico, (via Galveston,)
May 8. Work on tho Inter Ocean
railroad is progressing rapidly. It
will bo finished to Vera Cruz and Ma
tisae in less than a year. It controls
a branch from Atruas Calientes to
San LuisPotosi, which will be finished
this month.
AFRAID OF THE SUN DANCE.
Ft. Custeb, M. T. May 8. Re
sponsible parties jnst in from Lame
Deer, Montana, report that a largo
party of Pine Ridgo Indians led by
lirasshopper have come into Tongue
river agency for the purposo of getting
up a sun dance among the Uheyennes.
Tho Cheyennes are in sympathy with
tho Sioux and the sun dance will cer
tainly be held unless the Indians are
overawed by the presence of a large
body of troops.
Tho Crow outbreak of last summer
had its origin in a sun dance gotten
up by Grasshopper, and held at the
same place.
AL. OODY SENTENCED,
To One Tear in The Penitentiary.
Portland, May 8. AL Cody, re
cently convicted of mayhem was to
day sentenced by Judge Stearns to
one year in the penitentiary. Tho
case may be appealed. If not a pe
tition ior paraon will bo immediately
circulated, and wiil receive numerous
influential signatures from many who
do not believe Cody received fair
treatment during his trial.
When to Buy,
AND
When to Sell.
Has caused may a person to ponder,
but as a rule he who ponders too long
before picking up a cheap piece of de
sirable real estate has had to pay the
difference in a price that would made
the original purchase. Now is the
time to buy lots in Railroad Addition
to Ocean Park, before the season ad
vances, for just so euro as the Colum
bia flows out to sea, just so sure will
lots advance as the season advances,
and the great rush comes down to the
seaside next month. With the elegant
river service and a means of handling
all that come.on thollwaco and Shoal
water Bay Railroad, tho rush to North
Beach this season will exceed by 20,
000 people that of last year. With
these facts staring you in tho face is
there any doubt in your mind but that
every available lot will be picked up?
Not a bit of it.
Lots now selling for prices that aro
are within the reach of all.forthc more
that are sold at the start will enhance
tho value of the balance. Come in and
look at plats and pick out your lot, or
take a block at a figure that will aston
ish you.
