It would be well for us to pause and
consider the great Injury that must
Inevitably arise from the excessive val
uation land-owners may place upon
their property, when the official an
nouncement Is made that the Union
Pacific has decided to extend Its line
to this city, and when, consequently,
tha demand for real estate becomes
brisk. That there will b a strong mar
ket there can be no doubt; and It Is
equally likely that owners of real
property are apt to become excited
and thus work an almost Irreparable
Injury not alone to themselves but to
the whole city. It is true that prices
now are very reasonable, but how long
this may be said with truth will de-
j -i- u m
leading holders to grasp the situation
and control a natural desire to reap
too rich a harvest by the sale of their
realty. Should such a contingency
arise, It would be a dog-ln-the-mangcr
attltude.detrlmental to the best inter
ests of Astoria, tending to prevent cap
italists from investing here and thus
defeating the very object which all
who have the welfare of the city at
heart so devoutly hope to see accom
plished. Land itself Is of no value, and
only becojmes valuable through the
desire of man, either as a place on
which to build a home, or to gather the
means of sustenance from. Every child
born into this world increases the val
ue of property, and every person who
comes Into Astoria will likewise in
crease its valuation. Capitalists who
might be induced to come here and by
starting Industries attract people to
this point are the Instruments through
whom property valuations are moat
largely Increased. Every one will ad
mit that when the population of
Astoria reaches BO,000, property will be
more valuable than it is now, and In
like proportion will values increase as
the population increases. This valua
tlon according to population should be
tho proper basis. Then the onward
march of the city would be steady and
attraction would be offered to the
homeseekers. Flctltlqus valuation in
excess of population results simply in
attracting the land boomer and real
estate inflator, property being pur
chased to a large extent by non-residents,
and held by them till the bulls
can once more ralBe the price.
By a unanimous vote the city coun
cil passed an ordinance last night pro
viding that In future no street shall
be improved before the Interested prop
erty owners shall have paid Into the
city treasury the amount of tho as
sessment against the property of each.
In passing the ordinance tho council
has placed the Irrevocable seal of Its
For the Next Thirty Days,
To meet imperative demands, I will
offer at such low prices on install
ments, with easy payments, that
disapproval upon the gross injustice
that has from time to time been done
to the public and allowing streets to be
improved before the cost has been Ber
cured. There is at the present time
outstanding on the book of Hens,
sum exceeding $40,000, assets which
may be classed as of very doubtful
value, and all of which might have
been saved hud the measure passed
last night been In force two or three
years ago. Instances may .occur, it is
true, where impediments will be placed
In the way of opening streets, but they
will be of rare occurrence, and the
city will be saved enormous sums of
money; and those who pay for improve'
menu will not be compelled to pay
from ten to twenty per cent more than
the actual value of the work perform
ed. Nor will the contractor be com
polled to discount his warrants, after
having added the amount of this dls
count to his contract price, as hos been
done heretofore. The ordinance will
meet with ereneral approval from all
who favor an economical and Just ad
ministration of the city's affairs.
AN ITEM OF INTEREST.
The general public are asked to
read and make a mental note of the
following:
The Library Association have con
templated for some time the subject of
hiring a solicitor to canvass the city
for yearly subscribers and donations
of books, After due consideration the
ladles of the board have concluded to
district the city, and to save In the li
brary treasury the amount that would
be paid to a canvasser, they will each
one visit the district allotted to her.
This Is not a very agreeable bit of
work to do, and if the ladles of the
board are self-sacrificing enough to be
willing for the public good, to endure
the wear and tear of mind, body and
shoe leather, surely every business
man and every individual, who has at
heart the healthy mental, moral and
temporal growth of the city, will
make the task as easy as possible by
being; prepared to cheerfully accede iO
the request to subscribe for a yearly
membership or donate books thai
would not missed from the
shelves of thelrt library, but would
help to fill those at the Astoria
Library room. Give this matter your
serious consideration until the lady to
whose district your name belongs,
shall call upon you, and talk It over
now with your wife (If you are blessed
with one),so that there will be no ne
cessity for a second call.
The city is districted as follows:

EVE'S DAUGHTERS.
Marlon Harland, on pages 103 and
145 of her popular work, "Eve's Daugh
ters, or, Common SenBe for Maid, Wife
.vnd Mother," says:
"For the aching back should It be
alow In recovering its normal strength
an Allcock's i'orouB Plaster Is nn
excellent comforter, combining the
sensation of the sustained pressure of
a, strong warm hand with certain tonic
finalities developed in the wearing. It
nhould bo kept over the seat of un
easiness for several days In obstinate
coses, for perhaps a fortnight.
"For pain in the back, wear an All
cock's Porous Plaster constantly, re
newing as It wears off. This Is an in
valuable support when the weight on
tho small of the back becomes heavy
and the aching Incessant.
