Despite the fact that the hairs Of our
heads are supposed to be numbered,
the plaintiff In this action is unable to
state Just how many strands she lost.
II Is reasonable to assume that how
ever thick her hair, verdict for $780,
600 would place the value Of human
hair at high price.
The awful consequences OF such a
precedent may not be dwelt upon and
reason retained. Every man caught
with a hair on his lapel would be liable
70 damages. and as hair is exceeding
ly difficult of Identification. he might
be sued by his stenographer. his COOK
his wife, his sister-in-law and his
chambermaid for one offense. Again
hairs might be wilfully. premeditated-
Nv and with criminal intent plucked
from the head and placed upon the
fuzzy coat shoulder of any unsus-
pecting bachelor. who in order to avoid
the scandal, probably would pop
with a wry face. Human liberty, FOL

extinct under such circumstances and

|appreciating the weight of response

PUBLIC THoRouGHFARE.

The efforts of the citizens of Upper
Astoria to secure the building of a
public thoroughfare from the Hume
mill In the east end to the sash and
door factoy in the west, is one that is
deserving of recognition at the hands OF
the common council and the legislature.
Astoria is growing and its magnificent
resources are beginning TO be develop
ed. The business portion of the city
will always be in the west end. while
the residence portion is moving east
ward, presumably because residence
lots are more accessible and cheaper.
Two OF the largest saw mills are To-
Gated in the east end. and the business
traffic is constantly increasing.
1t is an injustice that the property
owners along the line Of the only street
between upper and lower town should
be compelled to bear the burden OF I'M
proving and keeping in repair this one
street. II the street was located In the
residence portion Of the city. and only
used for pedestrians or delivering
goods, the expense would not be SO
great and the burdens not so hard, but
there is only one thoroughfare. and
under the charter. the expense OF I'M
proving it must be borne by the prop
erty adjacent to the street. Some Of
the owners of property have already
paid out more for improving the street
than their property is worth. and they
receive only incidental benefits from it
To relieve these property owners
from the excessive street assessments
and distribute benefits upon the pub
lie in general, was the object Of the
meeting. A public thoroughfare is no'
only a necessity but benefit, and II
lust as necessary as a good road to tht
Nehalem valley. BY levying a half
mill tax a good road can be built and
maintained and the expense vii
scarcely be felt by the tax payers. TIT
project is feasible and deserving o
consideration by the lawmaking power

FISH LEGISLATION.

Persistent efforts have been made
during the past month to secure a
meeting Of all interested In the fishing
industry to secure laws that will be
beneficial to the industry without ref
srence to any diversified interests,
From the discussions adduced at the
meetings II is evident that the gillnet
fishermen, trapmen and seiners are the
most liberal. No class OF people are
more interested In perpetuating the
fishing industry than they, for upon
Il depends to a great extent, their op-
portunity Of making a living. The
concessions made by them that the
close season extend from April 10 20
August 2b or September /, Ii reason
able, especially when II IL well known
that the run of salmon is later than u
was Ave years ago, The demand Tor
prohibiting fshing on the natural
spawning grounds should be inoorpor'

Iation of the law. the law should re-
main as Il II. II In the only effectual
way Of enforcing the law, Those who

Why Songsters of the Air Have a
Claim on Man.
Not bird comes to the country but
earns is living from the people. In
some way or another they earn their
right to live. Most of the song birds
are insect eaters. 1t is a question
whether we could live on this earth
if insects were allowed to multiply in
the numberless forms and myriads
of progeny that nature provides Ger
tainly man could not alone keep the
insects down without the help of the
birds. Even the hawks and owls live
mostly on field mice and gophers, and
