Americas Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently:
"The danger that confronts the great Ameri-
can people to-day is not the possible adop'
ton of wrong financial policy for the
nation, ot the spread of socialism, or the
increase Of corruption among public men.
All these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease-I had almost said national
crinle-of overwork. The mad rush for
wealth is set at killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
You are likely TO be one Of the victims
Howdo we know? Because it is the excep-
tiOn TO find man or woman of adult age in
perfect health. Nervous Disorders are
spreading with fearful rapidity. Among the
symptoms, are-Backache, Biliousness, Cold
: Hands and Feet, Dizziness, Hot Flashes,
Fluttering Sensation, Painting, Headache,
I Hysteria, Irritability of the Heart, Melan-
choly Failing Memory, Palpitation, Rheu-
matism, Short Breath, Sleeplessness, Ner-
vous Dyspepsia, Sexual Debility, Fits, etc.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Something More on the Subject OF the
Westport Roads.
UVaatY,o,.t luna 97 1899

Westport, June 27, 1893
Editor Astorian:--
The. expense to the county for build
ing branch roads, which were not OF
public utility and convenience, has been
considerable in the past, and should be
avoided in the future. Roads that
should be improved are neglected, and
a hardship worked on the people by
putting the county money on wildcat
roads. The petitioners for the road at
Westport might see now that the part
of the road prayed for from the creek
at McMaths' to Driscoll's, will be of
no benefit to Driscoll, as his land is on
the river bank, and that the expense
of building the road will be greater
than the use Of it will be to the public,
thereby injuring the road to Westport'
which should be improved. And the
petitioners should now pay the cost of
viewing, surveying and stalking that
part from Westport creek to DriscolPs,
as IL Will De cHcdpcl lNi 'iN' 80
end. They have given bonds and the
county should be at no expense with
out being benefited.
would ask the petitioners, "Who
will haul over this road? What VIII
they haul over it? Is it of any beneht
to any one except for McMath to haul
the manure pile from Marsh's log-
ging camp to his garden? And for
McFarlane Bros. to have way to put
logs in the slough? And the road so
laid out can't reach the slough With
out interfering with ]. f. Smiths right
of-way. challenge the parties inter-
ested to answer why they want the
road. where the public utility compared
with the expense, and why the county
should expend a dollar on 1t. Ihe

The contemplate attempts Of the pro-
prietor of the Budget to make fall
ure of the proposed field day exercises
to be given under the auspices Of the
Astoria Football Club have met with
a deserving fate, and the coming
Fourth of July will be the occasion for
the greatest series of outdoor sports
ever held In the Northwest. The object
of this person was plainly understood;
in fact, 1t was admitted, that his op-
position was based on the ground that
the saloons would not sell so much
liquor as If the sports should be held
on the streets. The great liberality Of
those who contributed the array Of
beautiful trophies, a list of whose
names is published in another column,
should be sufficient to silence any one
with grain Of reason, a character
istic which the Budgets proprietor was
never accused of possessing. The pro-
prietor Of the Budget is an individual
who has been nurtured by and grown
fat on the exhalations of everything de-
