sponsible for infinite disaster. unless it

AN UNEscApABLE DUTY.

The City of Astoria owes herself at
least one unacceptable obligation. and
that is to put her waterfront property
in condition to be seen by the thousands
who traverse our northern boundary
either by rail or afoat.

WHO is THE ARCH-LIAR7

A well-dressed. well.disposed, quiet,
hammered stranger visited this city the
other day and made a few passing ac-
quaintances during the brief hours he
devoted to his business here; and in the
course OF one of his conversations with
a couple of well.known citizens, asked
this question in seemingly perfect
faith: "By the way, is this the Astoria
that suffered 50 terribly a few years
ago from the tidal wave and lost some
thing over 1000 of her fshermenT His
hearers were saved from fainting by
the instant need Of fortifying this hon.
est stranger with a modicum Of actual
truth, and after satisfying themselves
that the man was in full possession of
his senses and that he had really been
told some such yarn, they proceeded to
enlighten him as to Astoria and several
other things that were pertinent.
To the best Of his recollection he had

An organized effort on tine part Of
those owners whose property offers
anything to offend the sight, would
quickly and cheaply accomplish the de-
sired end; one weeks work at pulling
down rotten piling, and painting, and
whitewashing, the river frontages from
Tongue Point to Youngs Bay bridge,
would dispense with the accumulated
disparagement Of the years and start
