A MAN'S TOWN.
Tho Astoria Budget has tho
following very good suggestions
with reference to town patriot patriet
ism: Next to a man's family, his
personal friends and his business,
nothing should arouse his ener
gies in its behalf more thorough
ly than tho town in which ho
lives. It is his home. It is tho
place in which he earns his com
petence and educates his family.
If he wants to make it as popu
lous, as thrifty and as widely
known as possible, ho cannot af
would bo to givo tho holders a
chanco to speculate. Tho tractH
or claims would not bo home
steads, in tho full meaning of
tho word, but speculative oppor
tunities. There aro about 100
men in Woodburn whom tho
passage of this bill would please.
They prefer to remain in this
citv. but aro anxious for homo-
steads, and such a snap as Sena

Because of tho prospective cut

which will further there onus.
It can bo said a town that is not
worthy of tho devotion of its citi
zens in makinir it widely and
generally prosperous is a town in
which it is not worth

If a town is worth anything it
is worthy of our greatest energy,

true in any sense. It is possible
where a man owned less than

There has been more loss this
