THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST 11 1894 NEW WATER WORKS There Should Be No One Who Would Put a Stone iu the Way of Its Construction. Now If Ever the People of Astoria Need Work. There is a report on the Btrects that several of our. large property holders uru working In conjunction with some 01' the members of the watoi commls iilun to defeat at the polls, at the elec tion to be held a week from next Tues day, the proposition to authorize the city council to condemn and pay for a strip of land necessary to the contem plated new water works before they can be built and used. We would ask these gentlement why they take this slep at the very time when the general puullo demand the improvements and the laborer and mechanic demand work? Yea, demand work. Work is a vigorous, progressive word. It means activity, employment, advancement. It means wages and all the far-reaching effects of wage paying. It means doing something. It means business. Work is the symbol of peace, comfort and prosperity; the lack of it means discontent, crime and misery; People now on earth need no proof of that. Public work is a phrase that contains all the vital significance of work alone, and more, too. It means the upbuilding of the common property of the commu nity. It means enhancing the value of everything that the people rich, well-to-do, poor own In equal right for the generous use of all. Furthermore, it is a genial, if not glorious, attribute of publics work that it can lesolve groat public blessings, and mark you, gentlemen of the water commission never before in the his tory of this city has the necessity for public work been so great or the bles sing so devoutly prayed for. A great many of our people will need work. The fishing season is over, and as there is no work In the lumber camps about Astoria, no clearing of land to keep them employed, they are looking anxiously for the commence ment on the water works which you should be entitled to build Immediately after thP election of Aug. 27. An election which every workingman in Astoria should attend and by his ballot help place before his neighbor an opportu nity for employment when it is most needed. The men that need this work are not tramps, or strangers, or ne'er-do-weels; they are our people; honest men and good citizens. They have a right to live after the fishing season is over; they have a right to live here; Astoria can not afford to have them go away seeking employment elsewhere. Send out all the men w.ho soon will be unemployed In this community, gen tlemen of the water commission and large property owners, and the real estate that some of you hold in rever-l vnee because real " estate has made certain of you rich will sink to the values of fifteen years ago. Tills town needs new water works. That is an assertion that can be dem onstrated at any time. The chances are that never again can those needed wa ter works be provided so cheaply as now; never in the history of the city, will the demand for work be so ur gent; never before was there such an opportunity to bestow upon this city and Its people a double blessing of such vast account. Some of our citizens have the good fortune to pospess title deads which give the holders a right to an addi tional, unearned dividend from the city's general prosperity, over and above what he can earn with his own hands and head. Others have only the liands and heads to bring them the wherewithal of existence. These latter are as essential as the others. The city needs them and can not keep up Its prosperity without them. They are associate partners In the future prosperity of this town, and when hard luck overtakes them It Is the duty of the more fortunate to stand by them and, If need be, to take some chances for the sake of their com bined betterment. Astoria's general sentiment Is in fa vor of taking the chances. Tou and a few others, discrediting the hopeful side, disbelieving, perhaps, the confl lions that are certain to make this city the metropolis of the coast, refuse to see the broad and glorious future, are trying to obstruct the way. The ma jority xt our citizens are ready to dis count the future. We believe they have no fear of going ahead. Heed their wishes. Share their nerve. I Give our people work. LUMBER NOTES. McFarlane Bros., of Westport, have moved their logging camp to Knappa. W. G. Ross, of Skamokawa, Is now busily engaged logging at Westport, having moved his outfit last week. The output of logs on the Columbia river this season will scarcely reach 20,000,000 feet. This is a considerable falling off from last year's output In the next legislature of Washington bill will be Introduced locking to the pnfwage of a right-of-way law which would reduce the cost of crossing indi vidual claims to a reasonable amount, by asking the superior court to con demn a right-of-way 50 feet In width. r.d in assessing the damages to be awarded, the Jury will take Into con sideration the benefits, which may ac crue to the property traversed. Such a Jaw ought to be parsed In Oregon. In Cl!tT county one rort!acd capitalist) controlls the outlet to something .like 60,000,000 feet of timber and refuses to sell any right of way across his land, thereby shutting out from market a fine body of available timber directly tributary to Astoria. The object of our laws should be to stimulate and en courage enterprises, and not harrass or antagonize them by unjust leglsla tlon. OREGON NOTES. The song of the' thrasher is heard about Damascus. Wild deer are plentiful In the neigh borhood of Orvlile, several having come Into John Pardee's door yard. The dust In the streets of Cottrell Is to deep that the tracks of the different jjuiiiicar parties can De seen in uoin directions. The thermometer at Molall had to be taken lasb week like they take Free Masonry, "by degrees." It Jumped from 82 to 94 in the shade. There are three John Browns drawing pensions In the Southern Oregon dis trict, and they don't care to moulder in their graves for a long time yet. Salem girls ore planning a bicycle trip to Dallas soon, and the boys there are wondering If the bicyclists wear costumes like those they read about. The hogs Invaded the commissary department of a picnic party near Sprlngwater, and ate up everything but the lemonade, which the pigs didn't want. , The strong arm of popularity reached out and grasped H. S. Gibson, of Orei gon City and decorated him with a watch, chain and charm, a gift of the teachers. Eoys are so scarce In Uosebunr that half the girls who went on a hay rack ride to the Umpqua had to tie hand- kerchiefs around their arms to get up any interest in the ride home. Oregon City girls peeked knowingly into tho future when they coaxed their pa's to Induce a young lawyer named H. E. Sweet all the way from Fond du Loc, Wisconsin, to locate there. For all their talking about economy and getting down to hard pan, the people about) Oregon City claim that their chicken gravy Is just as thick, and their beef steaks just as plump thl3 year as though wheat was Jl a bUBhel In Clackamas county.

An efficient pre ventative places us on the safe side of Incipient disease, and there Is no one more reliable than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters In cases where the kidneys are Inactive, which is bue the preliminary to various destructive maladies, which disregarded have a fatal termination. Blight's disease, diabetes, dropsy, oede, ma, are but the outgrowths of neglected Inaction of the kidneys and bladder. They should be checked at the outset with bitters, which will prevent their progress by arousing the renal organs to activity, and thus place those who resort to this saving medicine on tho safe side. This preservative of safety also conquers constipation, liver com plaint, malarial fever, nervousness and dyspepsia. ASSIGNEE'S NOTICE.
