THE OTHER SIDE.
A Mossback's Ideas of the Advancement
of Astoria.

OF Astoria.
The following communication is pub
lished by request.
Astoria, August 20, 1896.
To the Editor
see by the papers much is being said
about the manner of operating in real
estate, so far all seem to be of the same
opinion. That is. 1t should be done
through an exchange or proper organiza-
tion. Now for the sake of argument !
wish to advance few ideas on the other
side. The idea seems to be to protect
property owners and see that they are
not cheated ,wronged or defrauded by
dishonest real estate operators, shysters
and frauds Now we that are here now,
and of whom the organization Is to be
formed are all honest; hence l cannot
see any present need for this organlza-
tion; and 1t would SEEM to the outside
world that we were organizing against
ourselves. We are not doing any busi-
ness and have done none, and we cannot
say that any fraud Is intended. And
further, / don't see that we are called
upon to form guarantee committee"
to administer on the affairs of those who
may come here to invest their money
to see that they get good bargains, ana
their moneys worth. Rather let us wait
until we are doing business, or have
done sufficient amount OF business to
demonstrate whether or no the people OF
this city are being swindled and that
dishonest parties have come in and are
practicing their dishonest methods. Then
1t win be time enough to act, and do
1t In such manner as may seem best.
Some talk very giibly about Chicago and
Salt Lake cities having exchanges Chi
cago had no exchange untli many years
after its boom, the same with Salt Lake,
l lived there and know of what l write.
But we need not go so far from home
for precedents; will ask has Portland.
has Tacoma, has Seattle, all exchanges,
or did have during their boom days, not
as any one knows of now If 1t is such a
good thing, why have they not. l would
suggest that we go little Sow in this
matter, keep quiet till we do some bust
ness, get boom, al get rich and then
organize an exchange and make It penal
offense for infraction of its rules,

the Presidents reticenee.
A little research into the Presidents
record will show. however. that he has
not been so reticent as the Chicago
Mail thinks IL has found him 10 be.
In his letter OF April H. 1886. to Mr..
Henry Robbins. Of Chicago. the President
said:

Money for Streets.

The meeting Of the Committee Of Con-
ference on the disagreeing votes or the
two branches Of the City Council In the
matter Of the distribution Of street funds
viii be watched with interest by all VINO
take broad view OF the future Of Rich
mond: by all who love Richmond more
dearly than any ward of Richmond.
The opening up Of new streets In
the East and West Ends means that lot
owners will follow up the enterprise OF
the city with enterprises OF their own
that is by erecting dwellings. stores.
etc II Is useless to expect building OPP
eratlons on q large scale to precede street
Improvements. Few men care to invest
their means in houses on streets which
are not graded. curbed. etc.
SO II is TO the interest Of all who wish
building operations TO become lively
to see street improvements made where
they are most needed. This is the plan
Of the Common Council for the division
OF street money. The plan OF the Board
Of Aldermen Is TO let our present old, Old,
unwise. unfair system OF equal division
stand.
II Is the duty OF every citizen who
wishes to see a better distribution or
street money made TO do all that he can
10 have the Views OF the Common Coun-
Gil prevail. This contest for what is so
obviously right and proper cannot be
ended by a victory for the Board The
people are beginning to understand this
question, and never again VIII they be
satisfied TO have good streets torn UP
and rebuilt while other sections Of the city
that have no streets worth the name are
neglected. The fight now on Will be
waged until the present unpopular system
is abandoned.
II the City Council VIII not give the
taxpayers relief. the Legislature VIII
have 10 be appealed 10 on an application
for the appointment Of Board OF street
Commissioners But We sincerely hope
that the Board will reconsider its post
ton. The Board IS going against the VIII
Of the people II is favoring scheme
which means that thousands Of dollars
will be uselcssy spent in the middle
wards every year. while many other
neighborhoods that have streets mat
need grading. guttering, curbing' etc.
can't get dollar Of money from the
City Treasury with which TO have the
work done.
The Boards plan is the present plan.
The Finance Committees and Common
Councils plan is the new and better
plan. Let us hope-even though II be
hoping against hope-that the new pan
will be adopted, so that in the future
more money will be spent upon the
streets Of the outer wards, and less
upon the streets OF the inner wards

not In accord with his party on the
silver question. and that he (the ex-
Speaker intends to adhere TO the silver
cause must have the effect OF strength
ening the silverites Mr.. Crisp is stripped
for the fight. He says-what we are
not sure is true-that the tariff question
Is settled; and he insists that the next
campaign for the presidency must be
fought clearly and openly on the single
issue OF the national reconciliation of
silver. What he means by the remone-
tization of silver is free coinage at the

When the mail-bags received at the post
