HINTS TO BEGINNERS.
First Aid to the Owner of New Auto
mobile
From Life.


One of the first things required OF the
genuine automobilist is that he mustn't
know anything about It. And the second
is like unto the first, which is that man
should disregard his neghbor as much as
he loves himself. These things being
derstood in the beginning your standing
among the fraternity is assured. Here are,
in addition, a few minor matters that need
that your mixture is correct. Put about
five gallons of rs gasoline into your tank,
and add to this a couple of highballs for
yourself. You will be surprised how much
better the machine will run. Upon the ex-
treme and ninutenes with which you
examine your auto before starting out will
depend the almost absolute certainty of
beraking down. Don't miss anything
therefore from the steering apparatus to
the spark plug. One of the greatest things
about automobiiing is the way II trains the
senses. By practice you will get that
you can pass through the most beautiful
scenery without being aware of it, thus ac-
quring that superb concentration neces-
sary. And you will soon be able to de-
tect any unusual smell and locate 1t at
once.
Be sure to buy the most complete set
out. take from them the tool you will
most certainly need. and leave it carefully
behind you. After while this will become
second nature. so that you won't even have
to think about it. Remember that to keep
your auto in the best condition you must
lubricate ii constantly. To do this sue
cessfully use, say, one-half as much cylin-
der oil on the machine you use on your
self. BY and by you can tell by the way
you feel whether everything Is in good
running shape or not. Do not be discour
aged If your carburetter gives out, your
batteries lay down on you, your connecting
rod refuses 10 connect or you are confront
ed by a missing link in your chain You
are, of course, able to support yourself in
luxury and discomfort, you wouldn't
have motor car. anyway; so remember
that many man who has more money
than you has had the same things hap
pen to him. Always carry with you the
King James version OF the Bible. For your
purpose it Is far better than the revised
version. The expressions are more terse
And finally. when you have anything hap
pen to you. keep 1t secret from the pres
ence OF your enemies. But when you lie. lie
openly, just as II you believed it yourself.

The French socialist who proposes to re-

argues that as the concordat Is to be aboI-

may be. But he wishes to keep the four
public holidays, and escapes from the d.

Christmas vacation comes and the school
year has wide chasm carved right in the

Council Opposes Thoroughfare in
Astoria.
POLITICS AND BUSINESS
Some of the Members Of the Common
Council Are Opposed to Granting
Relief to the People Of Astoria
From Excessive Taxation.

II is to be regretted that the com
mon council could not see its wa,
clear to indorse the bill presented las
Monday night establishing a publi
thoroughfare from the eastern to tn,
western limits of the city.
It certainly would have beer
a great benegt for all the people
of Astoria and the expense would no
have been felt by the tax payers. II
is certainly an injustice that few
of the small property owners OF Up.
per Astoria should be assessed for
keeping the streets in repair. especial
ly when they are used by two saw mills
in the east end. causing them to wear
out sooner than though used for ordi.
nary purposes, Upper Astoria is peo-
pied by large number Of our best
citizens. They have very little police
or fire protection, but are assessed for
maintaining a police and fire depart
ment. They are compelled to keep the
streets in front of their small homes
repaired. costing them a large amount
of money each year.
The object of the bill was to provide
a public thoroughfare that should be
maintained by general taxation, for
the reason that it benefited everyone
in Astoria, more than 1t did the prop
erty owners whose property is assessed
TO keep the streets in repair for the
general public. That politics entered
into the matter is claimed by some
Because Upper Astoria usually goes re-
publican, the citizens or democrats do
not propose to give them any more i'm
provements than they can help, and
even then, make them pay for them.
The more these matters are brought
to light, the more are the people con-
vinced that 1t is poor policy to elect
a citizen or democratic ticket in Asto-
ria. The fallacy of this is SHOWN in
the election of two democrats to the
state legislature who have no influence
whatever and are unable to secure
needed legislation for the city or coun-
ty. The fishermen cannot expect any
legislation as long as the county is rep.
resented by democrats. This should
be an object lesson for the fishermen,
the residents of Upper Astoria and the
republicans of Astoria and Clatsop
county. 1t probably win result in rele-
eating the citizens party out Of exist
ance.

COPY OF CHARTER.
Vetoed by Governor Chamberlain il
the interests of One Democrat.

The following is copy Of the char
ter which passed the legislature in 1905
and which was vetoed by the gov
ernor:
Sec. 6. The members of the common
council now in office and all other
elective offices of the city shall slold
office until the first Monday in July,
1904, when their term of office shall ex-
pire. At the general election to be neld
on the first Monday in June, 1904, there
shall be elected nine councilmen, three
from each ward. One of said council
men in each ward shall lold Office for
two years; one in each ward shall hold
office for four years, and one in each
ward shall hold Office for six years,
and thereafter councilman shall be
elected from each ward bi-annually at
the general election to be neld on the
first Monday in June or on date named
by any change in the state constitu-
tion or by act of the legislature. And
they shall hold their office for six years
and until their successors are elected
and qualified.
Sec. IL. There shall be a general
election in the city of Astoria on the
first Monday in June, 1904, and every
two years thereafter, said election to
be held at the same time Of holding
state and county elections throughout
the state, provided that all the present
officers Of the city holding elective Of
fees, including the mayor and coun-
cilmen, shall hold office until the first
Monday in July, 1904.
Sec. 13. The judges and clerks of
election designated by the county court
of Clatsop county, shall act as Judges
and clerks of the city election, and the
county clerk Of Clatsop county shall
place upon the tickets prepared by him
names Of the properly nominated can
didates for the several city offices of
the city of Astoria.
The other sections provide for the
canvassing Of the returns and certify
ing the result of officers elected for
the city to the auditor and police Judge.
These are exactly the same proyis-
ions incorporated in the Tuttle CHAR
ter and which the democrats are seek
ing to defeat. 1t simply does away with
one election each year; legislates no
one out Of office and will make saw
ing of over $500 in two years to the

which explains the governors early an
noUncement of his attitude
While it has been pointed out that
Governor Douglas has heretofore de-

MED that he has given the state a fear

thus far, but he has had his difficulties
In the distribution of patronage. while
sdhering more or less to party lines. he
has made the quality Of party loyalty
subordinate to the quality OF fitness
and this has led to much feeling amoDp
the party managers. Certain reforms
which the governor desired to carry
out by means Of state commission have
been blocked by the legislature. and
some Of his vetOes have aroused resent

benefited by the measures he killed.
Thus, for several causes, his tenure

THE TREASURY DEFICIT.

Last years Republican platform,
among other declarations, contained
the following sentence, which was
given wide circulation by the Repub-
lican campaign managers:
For deficient revenues, supplemented
by improvident issues of bonds, we
gave the country an INCOME which
produces a large surplus. and which
enabled US only four years after the
Spanish war had closed, to remove over
$1,000, 900 Of annual war taxes, reduce
the public debt and lower the interest
charges Of the government
This surplus, by some economic al
chemy, has been changed into a deficit
that continues TO grow steadily larger
as the close Of the fiscal year ap-
proaches-
An explanatory interview from Sec
rotary Shaw may be expected at an
early date. since the deficit, with an OBJ
stinacy that cannot have failed to dis
gust the secretary, refused to disap-
pear during the month of May or. in
