GET RICH.

That is a piece of advice very
much like the doctors, when he
advised the poor man to take a
sea voyage; or the poor woman
to take good nourishing food
and a glass Of port wine. We
don't need to be told to get rich
but we do need to be told how
to do it.
There are many ways to get
money. Speculation is one way.
You can buy stocks, bonds,
shares, ETC.. but all this re-
quires capital to start with, and
you have none, we will sup
pose. Then you must begin
saving money, but this only
shifts the shoe that pinches to
the other foot. How to save
money is nearly as great a prob
lem as how to get rich. Tt is
very well to say, "save mon
ey." That is what we started
out to tell you and everybody,
how money saved on your nec-
essary expenses may lay the
foundation for fortune for you;
and you can save money every
time you trade by buying cheap.
That's no news, you will
probably say. Of course you
can save by buying cheap. You
could also fly if you had wings.
You can do anything if you
know how. You are quite
willing to save on your buying
if you know where to CO.
That's what we are getting at.
We would not waste your time
by offering all this advice with
out having practical end in
view. If you want to buy
goods at prices which will save
you much money don't fail to
visit the large drug and book
house of Saur & Balsley. You
can not only save big money
on the necessary medicines
which your family need dt this
especial season Of the year, but
also on wall and window pa
pers, paints, oils, varnishes and
brushes. While the season is
drawing near when it becomes
necessary to lay in new stock
of these goods, our stock on
hand is composed of the very
latest patterns and best, goods
in the market, but will be sold
at a great sacrifice in order to
make room for our spring stock.
Our book trade was never more
flourishing, now that books
are so cheap, and those in need
Of good reading material for
the home should not fail to look
over Saur & Balsley,s display
Of all manner Of books and pc
riodicals.
A call on Saur & Balsley will
never come amiss. It is money
in your pocket every time.
Now is the time to lay in your
supply Of Wall Paper and
Paints.

Discussion Of Methods Of Max
ing Cities Attractive.
PARKS. TREES AND DRIVES
Will Do It. t-Symmetry and Uniform
ity of Action Urged Room for
Art in Astoria.

A knot of gentlemen in a prominent
merchants store was yesterday afternoon
discussing the rise and fall of Astoria's
progress in the near future. A rainy day
talk was INDUCED In for some time DUR
ing which the bright prospects for imme-
diate growth and prosperity received its
share OF comment. The work on the
railroad was dwelt upon and the late
activity in real estate matters, which Is
only the forermner OF what may be ex-
pected In the spring was discussed in all
OF its bearings. The necessity for the
establishment of manufacturing industries
of all kinds, the maintenance of large
payrolls and the offering OF Inducements
to artisans ais well as capitalists formed
the chief part of the discussion. One gem
tleman. of great experience and foresight,
touched upon a subject of much import
ance but one that has hitherto received
little attention. He said in part:
"AstordAns In dealing with the subject
of the future prosperity of the city, must
not forget one most important feature,
which Is considered OF prime Importance
in the East and by all European commu-
nities. and that Is the matter OF Offering
an attractive and beauIbitul place Of resi-
dence for both capitalist and laborer as
well as the means OF profltably employing
capital. No matter what may be your
commercial advantages, many would hes
itate a long while, and others refuse al
together, to settle I'm q town utterly lack
ing in every attractive feature as a home
place and possessing no facilities for the
employment OF the ordinary means of
recreation.
Parks and driveways are the requisite
Of every well-organized town or city.
Some place where the business men and
women and their families cam enjoy
something of natures beauties after the
days work IN shop or office Is over. or
all Things that mlaake city attractive to
lts own people, and the stranger, well
grown trees on Its streets are one OF the
first to be considered. and while being
one Of the least expensive, 1t Is one of
the most effective means OF ornamentlng
a city.
'In Germany there is a regular de-
partment of uhe city government under
which trees are purchased BY the whole
sale and nursed In a regular forestry un-
der competet foresters. II Is the duty of
these officers to not only cultivate the
trees, which are of uniform varieties for
entire streets. but to plant them out in
symmetrical double or single rows and to
care for them in a systematic and thor
ough manner. The expense Of this meth
cd Is much less than VI individual property
owners purchase the trees. some Of one
kind and some of another, and plant and
care for them themselves IN % hap-hazard

Old Men Accused of Outragihg little Girl
i'm San Francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-Captain Peter
Lane, a capitalist, Leon r. Meyer cap
italist, and Phillip Ratz were aruadgned
before Police Judge Campbell today to
answer ITO a series of crimes that surpass
anything in the history of the local
courts.
Lane is nearly 80 years old, almost
blind, and very infirm Meyer Is 81 years
Old and apparently possessed of all his
faculties. Ratz Is "a much younger man.
The men are charged with outraging
girls.
Already the police have taken in charge
eight little girls raging in age from to
l3 years, and they state that % more
girls of the same age will be called to
testify against the men. The venerable
trio made their headquarters at the house
of Captain Lame, who is said to be worth
100000. In THAT house girls, ranging in
age from to 13, were brought by an
older girl, who received 25 CENTS for each
recruit she brought to the den of vice.
Eight little girls appeared in court today
and identified the men. The surgeon OF
the receiving hospital examined number
of the infants and was mortified at the
result of the examination. He said there
was no doubt that the children had been
outraged.
Judge Campbell held the men in 5000
bail each and they will be examined FRI
day.
The Society for the Prevention of CRU
city to Children has been investigating
the case and claim to have evidence that
will convict the men.
