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.

TERRIBLE MISFORTUNE.
Many Suffering From It Today.
The cry of misfortune is never henrd
without a responsive throb of sympathy

ON THE SAFE SIDE.
Everybody knows this Is a good place
to be, but everybody does not take
measures to be there. 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.
