GAMBLERS, AND FISHERMEN.

In speaking of the purpose to close
the gambling industry in Astoria, the
other day, District Attorney Hedgez
stated that he was moved to make the
order in behalf of the approaching close
season in the salmon fisheries here and
doing away with the temptation of the
vics to the Columbia River fishermen, OR
words to that effect.
The statement was ill-advised, since
the fshermen, as a class, are not given
to gambling and indeed, are peculiarly
exempt from the vice. There are some
few or them, of course, who gamble, but
the trade as a whole is free from the
habit, and if gambling depended upon
these brawny sons of the deeps and
shadows, it would have poor pickings

A WORD IN SEASON.

There is going on all over this broad

SADIE against public nuisances and noises.
and the press matter in this relation
suggests to us the necessity, and timeli-
ness, of plea against that wretched
public nuisance. the return ball'; the
nasty and annoying toy that mfests all
cities and towns at festive junctures.
Ii would be a popular Kindness if the
Astoria authorities will suppress this
thing during the coming Regatta abso-
lutely, and for all time to come. 1t is
not only annoying, and means for the
indulgence Of bold and insulting famil-
iarity on the part of strangers, but is
dangerous as vehicle for the trans.
mission Of diseases. being cast, indis-
criminately, from face to face, passing

two cases of skin trouble in this city at
present chargeable directly to this ire
turn-ball' evil, and it is worth the
prompt attention of the law officers of
the city toward its utter suppression at
the coming festivities in September.

Put up your little hammer, Brother!
It's a boomerang in Astoria, these days.

from your ellow-citizens! You can't
hurt your town, anymore. She's on the

of real success in her teeth. You've had
your day and your say and your pay,
