ASTORIA. OREGON:
FRIDAY
.....MAY 10, 18S9.
A HOME INSTITUTION.
ELSEvniEBE appears the second an-
nual report o tbe Astoria building
and loan association, which shows a
prosperous and satisfactory condition
of a lire borne institution.
Tbe report speaks for itself and
does not require a word of comment
Yet tbere are a few salient points
tbat deserve notice.
Tbe receipts for tbe year were S2o,
453.D5: expenses, S43L70.
This is an admirable showing for
efficiency and economy.
Tbe practical good of tbis associa
tion is tbe substantial nid it affords
borne dwellers and tbe mutual profit
it guarantees stockholders.
A little institution like tbis tbat can
accommodate a man who wants to build
a modest home or improve bis little
preperty: tbat is carefully cenducted:
that has made nineteen loans during
the year, and is able to show its stock
holders a net profit for. tbe year of
81,918.70, te an enterprise that justly
deserves editorial commendation.
AVe confidently direct attention to
the manner of doing business on tbe
part of tbis association.
Probably other enterprises might
find something of worth and profit in
noting its workings.
There is no butting nor boosting nor
bat-passing.
There is no whimpering nor crying
nor beating of breasts nor personal
warfare.
It is strictly business.
A man or woman or bright boy or
eirl subscribes for so much stock and
pays a dollar a month for eacb
share.
Tbe coin conies in, and tbe profit
declares a handsome dividend.
Railroads have been built tbe samo
way by people who realized that there
was a profit in the business;
that it took money to build
a railroad; that outside capital was no
belter (probably not so good) as home
capital, and who didn't wait, crying
'"For God's sake come here and build
tbis road," but took a few of tbomany
idle S20 gold pieces, jingling idly in
their pockets, and built tbe road
themselves and bad a good thing of it
in profits to divide.
The Astoria building and loan as
Bociation begins its third year under
most favorable auspices. It shows
what a few ten dollar pieces can do
when put together and bandied.
It is an illustration of what might
b9 done in a few other profitable en
terprises tbat Astoria might as well
have going.
Tbo savinjrs of a country, state or
community represent its -wealth. Tbe
thrift and prosperity or evcrj individ
ual or family must alwajs depend
upon the amount they save. Wo can
contract habits of saving or spending.
The happiest and most prosperous
communities are those which have
stimulated and encouraged more than
any other the systems of savings or
saving institutions. The city of Phil
adelphia with its 700 building and
loan associations, and the peculiar
manner in which bills are paid, land
lords abolished and a city made a city
of homes, has attracted the attention
of the thoughtful throughout the land.
"The home is the foundation of the
state. The manner in which homes
may be secured by all people thercfoie
deserves our careful consideration."
"With a homo come3 to its occupant
andowner a natural pride in the caring
for, improving and boauti?ying, while
a rented house is at the bast bnt a
stonninji place: no tendrils of the
heart's affection cling to it. The
building and loan associations of Phil
adelphia have caused the building of
more than one-third of the city, and
enabled the Quaker City to herald the
proud boast that her workmen own
their own buildings to an extent
greater than any other city in the
world; and with such n percentage of
a city's people living in their own
homes come3 contentment and en
hancement of tho value of property.
One-fourth of tho population of tho
city of Cincinnati arc members of
buildinjr and loan associations. The
membership includes women and
children. Building and loan associa
tions have been tested, on a largo scale
both in Europe and America, and have
met with a success that is proverbially
prosperous, so much so that history
does not record a failure of one of
their number in tho last fifty years.
i
Epoch.
The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in tbe memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tained is gratefullv blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec
tric Bitters. So many feci they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
tho Great Alterative and Tonic If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidney. Liver or .Stomach, of long or

TO THE INCREDULOUS.
There Was Never the Man Who
Fooled or Hnmbngsed He
Hnmbngs Himself.
Tbe human race affords in itself a
most singular study. There are among
tbe many class of thinkers, those who
repose too much confidence in others,
too little confidence in themselves, or
no connuence in onvUnncr. The man
wno Knows it all Inmself, the man wlio
thinks somebody else knows it all and
tne man wlio thinks be knows who
knows it alL The egotist.
tne simpleton and the skeptic, iiec-
ognizing the fact that people require
more substantial evidence than mere
word3 ana promises, Drs. Damn re
sort to the most legitimate method of
advertising themselves by advertising
their cures. That those among tbe
community may be afforded an op
portunity of investigating before call
ing in person upon the doctors, the
following testimonials are nubbshed
bearing evidence of tbe doctors' ability
ana skm as well as success.
SORE EYES KESTORED.
Editor Astorian, Dear Sir: I have
for over eight years been troubled with
my eyes. Lately my left eye became
very much swollen and painful, and I
could not at times open it. I consult
ed Dr. Darrin in this city, at the Occi
dent hotel, and he said that my eye
could bo cured in about a week, lla
accomplished what he had promised in
almost less than tbat time. I can be
referred to, and I know of other cases
that have been cured.

A RITEUJIATIC TATIEXT HADE HAPrr.
Editor Oregenian: For four
months past my wife has been serious
ly afflicted with rheumatism in her
arm. For weeks at a time she never
knew what it was to have a good
night's sleep, and only from sheer ex
haustion could she rest from the
effects of pain. All my friends tried
to persuade me not to go to Drs.
Darrin because they advertised. I
did go, however, and found to my sur
prise a man wno possesseu more skiii
and knowledge of her case than any
I bad applied to. His charges were
reasonable and my wife is cured.
Thanks to Drs. Darrin. Refer to me
at 183 D street, Portland.

HE SENT IT EAST.
For o year I was troubled with pnius la
my hack and Bide, and headaches, the re
sult of liver and kidney trouble. I was
attracted to Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla,
by the startling testimonials iu 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. Alter the
second bottle my pains and aches disap
peared. It did Eomuch for me that I
sent several bottles to my family In New
Jersey, who also took it with the most
satisfactory results.

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thinghas caused such
a general revival of trade at J. W.
Conn's Drug Store as his giving away
tn their customers of so man y free trial
bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. Tlieir trade is simpiy
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Cioup. and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test It before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every
bottle warranted.
When to Buy,
AND-
When to Sell.
Has caused may a person to ponder,
but as a rule be who ponders too long
before picking up a cheap piece of de
sirable real estate has bad 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 tbe Eeason ad
vances, for just so sure as the Colum
bia flows out to sea, just so sure will
lots advance as tbe 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 thellwaco and Shoal-
water Bay Railroad, the rush to North
Beach this season will exceed by 20,
000 people that of last year. With
these facts staring you in the face is
there any doubt in your mind but that
ever- available lot will bo picked up?
Not a bit of it.
Lots now selling for prices that nre
are within the reach of all,forthe more
that are sold at the start will enhance
tbo valuo 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.

Silly Neglect of Congre.
The following notico has recently
been issued: The lighthouse board
regrets to stato that the appfopria
Hoh for salaries of keepers of light
houses is insufficient to pay salaries
for tho entire year upon the basis now
allowed. This deficiency was antic
ipated and reported to congress, but
no money was appropriated to meet
it
As it is absolutely forbidden by law
to exceed tho amount appropriated
during any year, it will, therefore, be
necessary to make a deduction from
the salary of each keeper in the ser
vico sufficient to bring tho total pay
ment within the amount now set
aside in tho treasury for tho purpose.
It is found that such deduction must
be about 4 per cent, of the annual
salary of each keeper.
That amount will, therefore, be de
ducted from the salary of each keeper
now in the service. A careful account
will bo kept of each deduction, and
every effort will be made to have an
appropriation made by congress to re
fund it.
The salaries will be restored to tho
regular rates on and after July 1 next.
