EDITOR CHRONICLE
In spite of my intention to write and
give you full account of the proceed
ings of the Press Association while in
session at Astoria, find it has passed
and every moment was so occupied that
writing was an impossibility. However,
it is not too late to say that it was the
most successful in every way-business
and socially II have yet attended.
About sixty-five were in attendance,
and all seemed determined to see that
the meeting was not one of pleasure
alone, but that the welfare of the asso-
citation was promoted as well. Besides
the routine business, number of very
fine papers were read, those by Mr..
Hines, the historian, and Mrs. Olive
England, being especially good. The
most enjoyable of the sessions was held
at Gearhart Park on the afternoon of
Friday, the 21st, at which time the new
officers were elected. The association
was particularly happy in their selection
of president, and all felt that Mr.. A.
w. Patterson, of the Heppner Gazette.
is just the president who will put life
and earnestness into the work You
have no doubt had glowing accounts OF
the hospitality of Astoria people from
our winners of the championship race in
the hose contest, and let me say that
even in their enthusiasm over their VIC
tory and the royal manner in which
they were treated they cannot do the
subject justice, for if they were enter
tanned as we'll as the members of the
Press Association, they could not be
otherwise than enthusiastic. Mr.. 6. T.
Gratke, of the Astoria Daily Budget,
was chairman of the reception commit
tee, and together with the other mem
bers, did everything possible to make us
enjoy ourselves.
Baker City was chosen as the next
place of meeting and September as the
month.
After the meeting adjourned a number
OF members came over to North Beach
to spend Sunday. and left the writer to
enjoy the remainder of her vacation by
what is termed the 'ssad sea waves.'' /

Nhimself among the many lone females at
Ythe beach, and, in the words of the i'm

does not remind one of heaven, as most
beaches, for at some of the resorts, men

THE TIME TO sUBsCNBE.

The oio newspaper SAYING, "now

more true than st present. The tines

shaping themselves for change,
that no one can afford to be without
a metropolitan daily or weekly. The

A REGULAR BLIZZARD.
Snow and sleet Wrap the Rio Grande

Tho norther, which struck here
last Friday night has blown contin-

time with drizsling rain. This
morning it increased in strength and
the temperature fell below freezing,
changing the rain into a driving
sleet. Specials received from up
the river and other points indicate
the blizzard extending over this
entire section, and it is doubtless
felt all over the entire country.

1t is better to have the repu
tation of paying your honest
debts than being a leader in
society. All the glory OF social
life can not compensate for the
ignominy Of getting through
on false pretenses. The
Indebtedness of a man or wo
man who, for the sake of a lit
tie display is haunted day and
night by creditors who almost
fears to walk the streets or
look at people is pitiable.

him and a bitter one. Cha
racter is worth more than so

great a swell and attrac as

last longer and bring a much
richer reward in the ends

Gladness Comes

XEJith better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff.
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that 80 many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed 50 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which 1t acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pnr-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
forn;s Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but If in need Of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-inforIned everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
