Curtis declaiming from a pub lic platform the other evening, with a gall that would shock the sensibilities of any decent man, made one remark that was true when he said: "Everybody here knows who and what I am." Indeed everybody docs. The very name of the man brings up visions of forged liquor license petitions, of kidnaping plots, of a record full of blots and stains, of in competency, official bungling, deals more or less dirty, and much else. Mr. Curtis has Indignantly declared that there fs nothing against his political rcc ord. His political record has not one clean act about It. He has killed the credit of the city. He, and he alone, Is responsible for the major part of our present burden of Indebtedness. Ills bun gllng work, done at a time when he made people believe he was an attorney, cost Astoria fifty thousand dollars and every piece of legislation pased during several months when he was the legal advisor of tho cDuncll, has been declared by the highest courts in the land to be rotten Illegal, and unable to stand any kind of a test. Everybody remembers the Court Street case, which the city took up to the su preme court In order to compel several taxpayers to pay their assessments. Mr. Curtis says that he protested against this case going to tho courts. He tells a dellb erate untruth. It was he that advised the city council to prosecute the Court street, Genevieve street, and West Eighth street cases. His recommondatlons are on file today In the city offices. Ho sent In, not one recommendation In favor of this matter, but a dozen. And, when the tuBt case went to the supreme court, It was Instantly thrown out. Not one ot the city's allegations was tenable for a moment. Not one of them would stand a writ of review Issued by the Judges, That was the reason that the citizens of Astoria were out of pocket 11,000 for legal fees and court expenses; that was the reason why In the tax levied by C. 3, Curtis for that year alone there was a deficit of twenty thousand dollars, a deficit that never has beon, and never can be collected, In the donevleve and West Eighth street cases the same thing happened. Not a cent of those assessments was ever se cured by the city, and In the two years that Mr. Curtis was "running" his de partment he cost the city, at a conserva tive estimate, fifty thousand dollars, Not a single ordinance that Curtis drew while In the office of city attorney ever stood the test of law. Outside of the 1100,000 bonded Indebtedness the city now has Is sued warrants for an additional $77,000.00, Of this latter amount about $30,000 will come back to the city on valid tax returns from ordinances drawn up In an honest and legal manner by later city attorneys. The balance a deficit of $47,000, represents thnumount lost to the city by the bun gling incompetency of C, J. Curtis, whose careless, shiftless and abominable meth ods have been a curse to Astoria and Clatsop county for many years. "Everybody knows my record," says Mr. Curtis. Ho tells tho truth for onoe. That record Is too nauseating and too vile for anybody to overlook or forget It, Tomorrow night when the votes are counted the truth of the words will come home to him. An era of prosperity Is upon us. Now streets will be opened up right and left, new con. tracts will be entered Into and new and Intricate questions will come up for set tlement. Imagine this man with his glar ing incompetency, his shiftless and un manly character In the ofllce of olty at torney during these coming yearsl In stead of ITiO.OOO he would lose $200,000 for the city, and by his methods and, ants would swamp every taxpayer In a sea ol initiation that It would tuke years of Imi it work to overcome. Mr. Kleber Osburn wandered Into As toria a few months ago from llwar-o on carpet bagging expedition. The tldul wave of the first "Cltlsens" " movement washed lilm Into the ollk-e of city auditor, and ho has been there ever since with double hawser and three sheet anchors thrown out to keep him In position. He U now engaged In building a mansion at tho top of tho 1)111. lie owns lots of prop erty, and altogether he hus that sleek uud sclf-sutlxflcd appearance which tell emphatically that the carpet bagitlng days are over. Hut city warrant are worth 75 cents on tho dollar, with no buyers. It Is gratifying Intelligence which Is ( itn. yi'd In a dliatch from Washington tliH morning that rigid economy In public mllturea is to be the Republican pro ci. inline lit congress, and that the sccur li ;; of this end will be the speaker's gov m.Im.j motive in making up some tf the hi pi tar.t committees, like those on a p. i-".rl:t!i.s and riven and harbors. But -,,, to ,0 Insisted on. It . ; whirh Mr. ai:.l t!ie Tit- i,..- -j-, rui'y huvo In u.lnd i i': i i ii'ii'lio money rtull be I 'pent unnecessarily. It will not be a I cheeseparing policy; the country had j enough of that when 11 bccojne a byword and a hissing under the name of IIol- niunlsm.. Tho people will be glud to see any tendency to extravaganco repressed, while wisely liberal expenditures are made for Important publlo works and for public buildings that are really ntcccsary. A PITIFUL DOWNFALL. Mayor Kinney talks vehemently about "a second letter." The Astorian knows nothing about that. ' The letter he wrote to Mr. Stanton Is In our possession. It Is published again on the fourth page ol this paper, so that every voter In the city can see what manner of man It Is who comes before them a second time and aHks them to elect him mayor. He sick nowledges he wrote the letter. In It he violates the trust reposed in him, asks for ten thousand dollars for services ren dered by himself, and the return of his two little lots. While chairman of a com mittee appointed to get a railroad to As toria on the best possible terms, pledged to do his utmost and bound by KVERK TIE OF HONOR to work for that ob ject, he tried to enter Into an Infamous bargain, tried to deceive his fellow com mitteemen, and his fellow citizens, and tried to betray the city of Astoria for ten thousand dollars. Mayor Kinney can "explain," and can pile untruth on un truth In his effort to shake off this shame ful fact. But, as long as men have prin ciples of honor and common sense, he can never rid himself and his name of so contemptible, so pitiful, and so deplorable an action. Voters will do well to study carefully for a few minutes at least the new. law under which Astoria will hold her city election next Wednesday. Heretofore at elections In thlj city it has been law and custom to scratch off or draw a pencil mark through the names of all the can didates for whom the voter did not wish to vote. The new law which is now In effect requires that tho vcter shall make a cross or something similar In front of the name of the candidate for whom he wishes to ote. The designating cross must be made to the left of the name of the candidate voted for, between the number and the name. In face of the loud protestations of Mr. Curtis and Mr. Osburn that they don't know' one another and have no combina tion of any kind, they might have the decency to And some other place for their secret conferences than In front of the Astorian office. On Sunday night their heads were glued together for an hour beneath our bulletin board. Then they moved along a few steps and stood In the doorway of an undertaker's estab llshment. They might have gone In while they were so close and arranged for their political funerals. There Is a candidate of the Citizens' party, a perpetual office Beeker, who Is after the position of surveyor. If Mr. Harry tried to write about what he didn't know of his profession he would not have time for politics. Besides, people that are accustomed to drawing two different profiles of the same street may be ex "port draughtsmen, but are rather iin available for municipal purposes. Tomorrow night, when the votes are counted, Astoria will have proved to the state of Oregon that her decent citizens are in the majority, that henceforth our city Is to be governed by business men on business principles, and that we have begun a new era an era of clennlliifsa and decency in puollc life. Dr. Alfred $. Kinney has run out of ex. planatlons. He has been "explaining" ever since 7 o'clock Sunday morning and has no new material to draw on. Ho is now prepared to pay $2.60 apiece for any new explanations that might be forward ed to him for use, If Mr. Osburn Is a wise man he will apply that $ti00 to completing his new house, and not to pay out for votes which he will never get. In tluS house he will have something substantial to show for the money, but ballots aro mighty un certain things. When Dr. Kinney tried to perform that $10,000 operation on J. C. Stanton he evi dently though he had the old gentleman from New York under the Influence of ether. But he hadn't. Mayor Kinney shaved his upper lip for action when he saw Sunday's Astorian. But that lettor was like Astoria's ruin. You can't explain It away. The Republican candidate for city at torney is about to publish a new book, "What I Know About Forgeries on Liquor License Petitions." Those politicians who are blackguard ing the Astorian seem to forget one thing, The Astorian Is not a candidate for office. They are. No wonder George Gould wouldn't come. He didn't want to run up against any thing like that letter. Tne rrCurtlsTJ Watch It. ' Osborn combination. Oh, do It? Alfred! Alfred! how could you The U. S.

THE DISCOVERY SAVED HIS LIFE. Mr. O. Calllouette, druggist, Beavers vi.Ue, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Dis covery I owe my life, Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not lve.

Indio The Oasis of thf Colorado Desert fl Hew Health A Resort BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE SEA Absolutely Dry and Pure Tropical Climate Pronounced by Physicians the most Favorable in America for Sufferers from . . . Lung Diseases and Rheumatism Many Remarkable Cures The objections urged against Indio in the past by the large numbers who otherwise would have been glad to tak advantage of its beneficial climate, has been a lack of .suitable accommoda tion. The Southern Pacific Company, takes pleasure in announcing that sev eral Commodious and Comfortable Cottages have Just been erected at India sta tion, that will be rented to applicants at reasonable rates. They are fur nithed wltb modern conveniences, sup plied with pure artesian water, and so situated as to gove occupants all the advantages to be derived from a more or less protracted residence in this de llg'htful climate. (From the San Francisco Argonaut) "In the heart of the great desert ot the Colorado which the Southern Pa cific road traverses there Is an oasis called Indio, which, in our opinion, li the sanitarium of the earth. We be lieve, from personal investigation, thai for certain invalids, the-e is no spot oi this planet so favorable." G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "Tbi purity of the air, and the eternal sun shine, fill one with wonder and delight Nature has accomplished sc much that there remains but little for man to do. As to its possibilities ax a health resort, here is the most per feet sunshine, with a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soli for rain is an unknown factor: pure oxygen, dense atmosphere and pure water. What more can be desired? It is the place, above all others, for lung troubles, and a paradise for rheU' mattes.
