TO FIGHT THE RATS.
city Board Of Health TO Recommend
Bounty TO Council.

The city board OF health. acting on
the advice Of leading physicians Of this
city, has decided TO recommend to tn
city council proposition to pay a
bounty Of about cents on each rat
killed within the city limits To the end
tina, the plague may be prevented In
Astoria.
II mas been deemed important that
aggressive steps be taken In this d.
rectIon at once ana II Is believed that
the city council Will endorse the propo.
sition to be submitted by the health
board.
There is no doubt, however, that a
decided opinion prevails among mem.
bers OF the board OF health. as well
IA among physicians In this city. that
the expense Of the necessary steps to
be taken TO prevent the appearance OF
the plague In this. as well az the other
ports on the Pacific coast. where YES.

should be provided for by the federal
government. II is argued that the

prevention OF all possibilities OF the in

traps would be the best means to be
employed. Next TO mechanical contrl-
yances. said DR. Henderson, rough on
rats Is believed to be the best means
OF destroying the pests. Rough ON rats
Is preferable to strychnine and other
poisons because rats, as soon as they

the building and die
Astoria, however, Is peculiarly
blessed In this connection" said DR.
Henderson. The natural conditions
here make Astoria practically unten-
able for the rats because, in the
main portion OF the city, they cannot
burrow into the earth; and rats and
other rodents win invariably seek
places where they can dig into the
ground"
DR., Henderson states that since the
issuance OF the notice recently given
out by the health authorities and num-
erous physicians the people of Astoria
have done much in the direction of
exterminating the rats and II has now
grown to he quite the thing 10 see

SIBERIAN EXILING TO BE PRO-
HIBITED.

The thought of exiled Russian Grim
inals Changing their way ever the
SHOWS of the Siberian plains to life
of terrible desolation, is one of horror,
1t is now rumored that the barbarous
custom is to be abolished, and that
Siberia, which is really a fertile coun-
try, is to be cultivated. This news
will be welcomed as joyfully by the
far away convicts as is the fact by
exiles Of health, that Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters cures dyspepsia. other So
called remedies claim to cure. That is
ALL The Bitters not only claims to
cure, but has done so for fifty years.
1t cures indigestion, constipation, bill
iousness, malaria, fever and ague, liver
and kidney troubles. It is the best
Eedicine in the world for thiE time of
the year.

WATER COMMISSIONERS MEET
Transact a Large Amount OF Routine
Business.

The water commission met last
night in regular monthly session and
transacted business Of a purely rou-
tine nature. II was expected that
some action would be taken relative
10 the rates now being charged the
local cannerles and saw-mills but the
committee TO which the matter had
been referred was not ready TO report
and action was deferred till the next
regular meeting. The action intend
ed to have been taken In this connec-
ton was In relation TO the substitution
OF the metre system instead OF fixed
charges. which have been In force in
the past with the canneries and saw
mills
A request was received from house,
holders residing on Alameda avenue
that the water mains be extended $50
feet Into the street. The commission
era agreed TO make the extension pro-
vlded the petitioners paid years as
sessment In advance. This action was
taken because of the impression that
not a sufficient number Of the resi-
dents OF the district would take water
continuously In order that the extra
expense involved by the extension
could be justified.
Current bills to the amount OF SS1.SS,
in addition to the regular monthly
payroll were ordered paid
