A DIRTY RECORD.
Mr. C. J. 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.

any tendency to extravaganco repressed,
while wisely liberal expenditures are
made for Important publlo works and for

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.

Pronounced by Physicians the

for Sufferers from . . .

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. Considering the number of
sufferers who have been cured, I havf
no hesitancy in recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict
ed."
