Many new buildings have been built this season, and more are under construction. In the county much advancement can be noted. Better bridges are being built. Roads are being put Into good shape and new ones ordered built. All of this means much.

The evidence will be un Impeach able. A Lake creek correspondent of the Med- ford Monitor gives the following experl ence of Messrs. Hanley, Singer and Downing, well known residents of that section: "Last Friday, when riding on t plateau on the mountain near Mount Pitt. a small thepherd ubg that had followed them came rushing toward them, and Irmmedlaitely at Its heeti was a she bear. One of the party, when the bear was not more than fifteen feet sway, drew a 32-callber Colt's revolver and fired, netting her; she turned and after her went the dog. Hanley, Stinger and Downing crowded her so closely that she took to a tree, and an the boys passed under she sprang from the tree, nearly knocking Hanley off his horae; bi after her airaln went the quartet, pressing her to closely that their unearthly yells and the nips of the llttf.e dog forced her to again climb n tres, whleft they surrounded, and five shots from the 32 Colt's revolver In th hands of one of the party brought her to the ground dead, every shot having taken effect. Hanley and Sllnger now have the hide as evfdence and a trophy of the chase,"' . ' " General Jc'in M.

PARKS, TREES AND DRIVES Will Do It-Symmetry and Uniform ity of Action Urg-ed-Room for Art in Astoria. A knot of gentlemen 4n a prominent merchant's store was yesterday afternoon discussing the rkse and fall of Ast:rla's progress in the near future. A rainy day talk was indulged in for some time dur ing which the bright prospects for imme diate growth and prosperity received its share of comment. The work on the railiroad was dwelt upon and the tate activity In real estate mutters, which ts only -the forerunner of what may be ex pected in (the spring was discussed In all of its bearings. The necessity for the establishment of manufaoturmg industries of all kinds, the maintenance of large payrolls and the offering of inducements to artisans as well as capitalists, formed the chief pair of the discussion. One gen tleman, of great experience and foresight, touched upon a subject of much, import ance but one that has hither to received little attention. He said in part: "Astorianst m dealing with the subject of the future prosperity of the city, must not forget one most important feature, whldh is considered of prime importance In the East, and by all European commu nities, and that ts the matter of offering an attractive and (beautiful place of resi dence for both capitalist and laborer as well as the means of profitably employing capital. No matter what may be your commercial advantages, many would hes itate a long while, and others refuse al together, to settle in a town utterly lack ing in every attnuHive feature as a home place and possessing no facilities for the employment of the ordinary means of reoreaitlon. 'Parks and driveways are the requisite of every wefll-organlzed town or city. Some place where the business men and women and their families can enjoy something of nature's beauties after the day's work In shop r office Is over. . Of all tlMnga that trunk e a city attractive, to Its own people, and the stranger, well grown trees on Its streets are one of ths first to be considered, and while being one of the least expensive. It Is one of the moat effective means of ornamenting a olty. "In Germany there is e regular de partment of the city government under which trees are purchased by the whole sale and nursed in a regular forestry un der oompetet foresters. It is the duty of these o Ulcers to not only cultivate the trees, which are of uniform varieties for entire streets, but to plant them out in symmetrical double or single rows and to care for them In a systematic and thor ough manner. The expense of this meth od Is much less tthum it individual property owners purchase the treee, some of one Iclrud and some ot another, and plaint and care for them themselves in a bap -hazard way. The results are ImmM 'n-eab'y greater, besides obtaining uniformity ot beauty. "Astoria bos prtMt-Icatly no trees as yet on its etreeHs. A fow patriotic citi zens have made attempts in that line but now that we are going to be a city and amount to something all these ques tions deserve lmrmedlaite attention. Ths importance of good Streets, boulevards, paries and grass plats which relieve the monotony of limes of bulMlngs, cannot be overestimated. Look at Chicago, Den ver and Bait Lake Olty-they are gar dens of beauty. If you say. Oh, yesl these aire wealthy communities and amply able to deeomlte. I can point you to hundreds of towns, haftf the size of Astoria, and not polwesalng one hundredlin-nay, one thousandtlh part of its weatilh In ths in terior of Illinois, Michigan or Iowa, to say nothing of the East and South, wtilch are bowers of tenuity, and made so arti ficially. . , ... "The opportunity In 'the glorious cl mate of Oregon at city deeonjtlon is not to be equalled and a town that expects to grow like Astoria wUI (make a grave mistake If this matter Is not given attention at once."

Among stories which were told by cer tain aged physic tans, at a reunion- of medical men, of the times when surgical operations were conducted wttnont anaes thetics, none were more touching than the following: A little girl, not more than I years old, was injured In fuch- a way tihat It was necersary to ampul-ate one of her leg'. She proved to be of wonderful pluck, and instead of binding her, as was custo mary In such dames, she was given her most tffrertshed doll to hold.
