IS THIS ONE REAsoNr

ASTORIA. June 26.-Editor Astorian:
Many OF Astoria's citizens wonder why
Il is that Astoria. with its almost un-
surpassed natural advantages for a
great commercial city. shows in the re-
cent census little increase OF popuia-
tion for the past decade. Men OF
standing and property seem averse
to coming and settling here.
There must be some reason for this
state OF affairs. and while / do not
claim TO present the reason, yet ! am
sure that the one name has its effect
in keeping aloof a class Of men who
would be able to do your city great
good. would call the attention Of AS
torians to the universal profanity which
pollutes your atmosphere. l have trav-
eled all over the United States and
this is the first community which /
have struck wherein the representative
and leading men Of the place contin-
ually intersperse their conversation
with language which in other commu-
mites would not be tolerated among
the better classes OF business men.
1t Is considered ungentlemanly in
most communities TO form a habit of
using language which could not be en-
ployed before ladies. II is evidently
not so considered here, for men who
are In other respects to all appear
ances the most perfect gentlemen are
never heard. In conversation among
themselves to utter two consecutive
sentences without at least one oath.
We expect profanity upon great provo
'cation. 1t is even reported that
preacher is sometimes won't to indulge
when he finds all his shirts soiled
when dressing on Sunday morning.
But, Insist. gentlemen, this habit of
continued and universal profanity
among the better classes Of citizens
is as disgusting as II is unusual, and
ought not to be tolerated. l can safe
ly say, as an outsider, that should
not care to bring up family of chill
dren Lnler the influences which abound
and predominate in this city, and l
am sure that many others would feel
and have felt likewise.
It appears, then. that the better
classes Of your citizens have formed a
habit, of no advantage in itself, gem
orally confined to the lower ranks Of
society, degrading to those who prac-
tice 1t and hurtful to the growth and
well-being of your city. Why not
then. abandon the silly and disagree
able habit? AN EASTERNER.

SUMMER RESORTS.

TO the mount-!=s our people In in
ereasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nee
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working condition. The
languorous sloth OF the seashore proves
very seductive while It lasts, but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change Of air and surround
ings, but also such stimulation Of
tagging energies as win provide Drawn
and vigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble. the balsam OF the mountain
pines. and the clear. unauthorized
mountain air.
In this direction the Shasta Route
now affords a wealth Of attractions.
The entire line Of road from Ashland
to Redding is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps. where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
reasonable cost. and where you can
hunt. fish. ride. loaf. or play with
equal facility.

Hastings-Freigh Shipments
Turned Away.

When the Mississippi river gets so low
that the government water gauge stands
high and dry above the tide, the hearts
of river men begin to fill with appre-
hension. That was the condition yester-
day, and for the space of foot below it's
lowest record mark the gauge showed no
water.
The wharves are almost cut off from
the river and below on the big bend the
sand bars have come out in such man
ner that COWS can travel way out to
the middle channel on dry land. The
Bethel boat is high and dry, like Noah 8
ark, at least on one side, and under her
bottom there is a space above the water
sufficiently large for a man to crawl
into.
The sewer outlets are exposed to the
above the water level. The stencil aris-
ing from them is becoming very obnoX-
ious and the refuse left by the river on
the sand banks, which have been left
dry, is decomposing with like results.
The Diamond 10 steamers have an
nounced that no freight will be accepted
for shipments through from lower river
points to ST. Paul and the boats yet to
come up will be turned back after land
ing their passengers al Hastings. The
Quincy is due on Saturday and will bring
up a large number of travellers. These
will be brought into s.. Paul by raj.
