It fronts on the deep water of the Columbia River Harbor, and beinj perfectly protected from wind and seas, affords the very best docks for ships on this lay, therefore, It is the exact spot for the seaport of the great Northwest. These facts were recognized by the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Co. when New Astoria Was Selected as the Starting: Point for their Railroad and the Location for the Terminals. New Astoria is platted upon a plane high enough for perfect drainage, and well protected by a high ridge behind it. Its streets and avenues are wide, and. in fact, ft is laid out on modern plans.

The rooms and halls were handsomely decorated, and the large gathering of guests seemed to fully enjoy every moment. A musical and literary program filled a portion ot the evening. Among the best known per- rormeM were MIhh H olden, Mrs, J. T, I Boss, Miss Edith Conn, and Miss Dun- I r.lng. "As to politics," said one of the li-ndm yesterday, "Just think a moment.

It would seem to be a very strange slate of af fairs. Kvery one knows that om chil dren have an aptitude for on study, and ar more or less backward in bthcra, no two children being alike In their pn-t. erence or natural bents. Teachers, It would seem to a fair minded x-ron, should look at the general averuge, and not at tn pupil's standing In any partic ular branch of work that may :rluips be a hobby of the school.

It la a well known fact trou often times others than regularly ap pointed officers of th law can more easily become acquainted with offenders and bring them to Justice than an officer who Is well known to the general public.

Than he rlggi'd a sort of-sell, a machine that would look somi'thlng like our let ter press or lislay. lie arranged his blocks In order, put sum Ink tut them, also a plrc of paper, and then screwed his press down. That was call.il printing. Did Gutenberg mad a howling success of th. racket, ami his head became so swollen that he really snubbed th king otto day. Th king overlooked II. howevar, for he had an Idea what kind ot fellows printers Would I. Well, llnally they got the print ing system down pat, and, as th centuries rolled by, began printing newspapers first person, invariably singular number, any gender and hard case. In This Enlightened Day There ar many newspapers as a matter of fact. Rut It la an utter Impossibility to get a newspaper to admit It. Th. advertising patronage of a newspaper depends largely yes, whnlly-upon Its circulation, A newspaper Is a gr.at deal Ilk. th. human body; If Its circulation Is good. It prospers; otherwise, otherwise. Bom papers publish Want Columns That is, a column, or a number of columns, devoted to small advertise menu. If a fellow wonts anything trouble, a wife, a house, don I make any different what It Is h ran get It by means of a small ad. Included in the "war.'" column are "For Sale," "For Kent," "Ixtst," "Found," "Stolen" and "Mlacel lannous." Now, Just see what chumps some people are! Why, a man has been known to hunt over a city this clty-for days looking for a house In which to live. Hud ho come to Th Astorlan oftic and naked for a want ad. h. could have gotten his house without th least bit of troublo and for about 26 cents. It Is Needless To tell of Th. Astorlan's circula tion. The paper has been estab lished for a quarter of a century. Why, old Concomly rend tha first rumor of th building of a railroad to his braves from It Circulation Is Th Astorlan's long suit. Conse quently, when a fellow comes Into The Astorlan office, looks pleasant, throws down 36 cents on the coun ter and says he wants a house, he geU It Why, Just Think I Th Astorlan goes Into every house In Astoria nnd a great majority of those In the surrounding sections ot Oregon and Washington. Hence, It you Insert an ad. In Th Astorlan, It Is equivalent to engaging a man to go around to nil those houses nnd telling the Inmates ' that you want something or have something for sale. Why, talk about a snap! Bit of Advice When you want anything no mat ter what It Is when you hnvo any thing for sale: when you lose, lirul or stenl anything, como nrotind mid tell your trouble to The Astorlan. Bring 20 cents with you, nnd, nlntve all things, look pleasant. Tell tho clerk that you want a want nd. In tho wont column, give him your 21 cents nnd go nwny happy.
