a fire engine.

PROTECTION FOR UNIONTOWN.
Astoria, July 17, 1S94.
Editor Astorlan:
It is better late than never, but your
editorial In today's pjper respecting the
water facilities in Unlontown has Just
about come In time. We repeatedly re-
quested that we be furnished with some
methods of obtaining water, and for a
fire alarm, but It has always proved
fruitless. Perhaps the city council does
not care for this end of the city; per
haps our councllmen from the first ward
have too much other business on their
hands to give us any attention, but
some morning they will wake up and
find Unlontown burned to the ground
An amount of BOO expended carefully
would furnish us with everything for
coping with a fire, but the council seem
to prefer paying lawyers' fees, etc.,
rather than Improve the city. You
wrote a pretty strong editorial, Mr. Ed
itor, but not strong enough. . Perhaps If
you can ding dong it into the befuddled
heads of somo people around this city,
you may gain this point and have Union
town blessed with a fire alarm and pipe
lln?. Yours very respectfully,
UNIONTOWN.

STANFORD VS. PORTLAND.
The Astoria Football Club Has Ar
ranged a Game In This City.
Yesterday A. F. Allen, president of
the Portland Amateur Athletic Club,
and Jos. L. Travis, a prominent member
of that organization, came to this city
In response to a message, and made
arrangements for a game of baseball
to be played In Astoria between their
club and the Stanfords. All prelimina
ries have been satisfactorily fixed by the
offlcers of the Astoria Football Club, and
the match will be played on the football
grounds on Friday afternoon a.t
o'clock. The people of this city will
therefore be tieated to such an 'exhlbl
tion of the national game as very few
of them have ever had a chance to
see. The Stanfords are known every
where, and they have successfully
pulled off the laurels for their famous
college In a good many games lately
played In the Northwest. The P. A. A,
C. team is one of the strongest on the
coast, and Its members are confident of
running Stanford very close, and per
haps compelling them to lower their
colors in the bargain. The Stanfords

The business man who says that ad
vertising does not pay does not adver
tise. He Is the one that always doubts
the prosperous trade 'reports he hears of
his competitor, who does advertise. He
sits In the back of his store, smokes his
pipe and wonders why he Isn't making
any money. He has the blues when he
Bhould have trade. He not only lets his
neighbor get that neighbor's share of
the business, but a good part of his also.
He sees people whom he thought old
friends of his go Into I:l3 competitor's
store and come out with bundles of
goods, when he has the same articles on
his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices
than they paid his competitor for them.
Why Is this so? It Is because his com
