The unexpected japanese guest smiled
at the dlsmantled drawing room, made
his way carefully between broom and
pail Of water. and, kicking aside a
bar of soap that had nearly overset
him, he said:
"You call this honsecleaning. Well,
in Japan we'd call it nothing. We are
required by law over there to have four
housecleanings a year that are, indeed.

In the street. Everything down to the
bare walls must be taken from every
japanese house four times q year and
set out upon the sidewalk; then all
must be thoroughly cleaned. Last Of
all, government officials come and dis
infect and fumlgate the cleaned dwell

pan is strange sight on those four
annual cleaning days. With all the fur

Over Thirty-Five Years.

In 1872 there was great deal of
diarrhoea, dysentary and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought
into use. 1t proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment,
and has for thirty-hve years main
tanned that record. From small be-
ginning its sale and use has extended
to every part Of the United States and
to many foreign countries. Nine
druggists out OF ten will recommend
it when their opinion is asked, al
though they have other medicines
that pay them a greater profit. 1t
can always be depended upon, even in
the most severe and dangerous cases.

druggists.

OBSERVER" THINKS
LOW RATES ARE
BEST IN THE END

Editor Astorian lit is with pleas
ure and surprise ! note what is being
said by the papers regarding threats
OF the transportation companies oper-
ating between Portland and Astoria
against our merchants, and threats OF
a 25-cent rate should the Spencer be
given freight Why is it that rates
have recently been raised by the
transportation companiesH The Spen-
Ger has right to live and ii she will
carry freight and passengers for less
than the others that is their business,
and benefit to the town, What bona
fide merchant can object to have
cheap rates to Astoria2 Is it not bet
ter to have 200 people come to AS
toria than it is for rs people for the
same money, as il is now9 With a
25-cent rate just think OF the number
of people who would be in our city
and see what would be spent by
them. Everyone will spend some
thing. Hotels, restaurants, cigar and
fruit dealers, liquor dealers, grocers,
butcher shops, etc, will all be bene-
fitted and directly interested. People
will travel with low rates Just think
of 200 people against rs people be-
ing in the city. 1t is people we want,
to make business, and no threat
should be paid any attention to, and
we should all do what we can to fill
the city up with people.
THE merchants and people are en-
titled to low rates if we can get them
on everything that comes into our
city or out of it, and our neighbors
the same Have our merchants looked
up the difference in rates from As
toria to North Beach points and from
Portland to the same points? Same
with the South Beach.
at is our duty to stay by the trans
portation companies that do US the
most good. Much more could be said.

barking the approach OF the enemy and
to keep the garrlsons awake; also dur
Ing the middle ages war dogs were
used for guarding camps and bulwarks.
Scotch bloodhounds were specially ro-
puted for tracking escaped prisoners.
They were also used for attacking the
enemy's cavalry, mutIlating tho horses
with the prongs and hooks OF their
coats Of mail. TO these coats flrepots
were attached. which set the camps on
fire. In the days Of Granson and MUIR

is SLIPPING DOWN
| THE HILL
CONCRETE PIER CONSTRUCT
ED UNDER HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING FOUND TO BE
MOVING SLOWLY BUT
SURELY.

| The big concrete pier constructed
as solid foundation to the high
school is believed 70 have been slowly
slipping during the past year The
northwest corner OF the building has
settled probably an inch or more, and
it will be necessary TO brace it up to
prevent a further sagging.
When the concrete pier, eight feet
square and twenty feet in depth, was
constructed it was thought that it
was placed solidly right on the rock
foundation and that therefore it would
stand firmly, But experience has
shown that it has moved down the
HILL and probably nothing can be
done to prevent this gradual move
ment. The plan will perhaps be to
now insert wedges under the north
west corner of the building and thus
lift it up to its proper level,
The ground along the hillside is
underlaid with soapstone founda
ton and it is as slippery as soap.
Therefore it is q difficult matter to
construct any pier or brace on such
foundation that won't slip.
AT the office OF the school superin-
tendant yesterday it was said that
while additional school room is badly
required, that it is quite improbable
that much il any money will be ex-
pended in this direction the coming
year. Several OF the schools are over
crowded and il will only be a matter
of time when more room will be I'M
perative. At all events it is now not
the intention of the school authorities
TO erect any new building. To do so
it would be necessary for the board
to borrow money Superintendent
Clark said yesterday that the question
of portable school houses has been
considered in an informal manner by
the board, and that this plan may be
taken up again for more serious con
sideration Portable school houses
are used in Portland and many other
of the large cities, and it is under
stood that they have given great sat
isfaction as a rule. lnasmuch as they
are cheap and may be moved about
from one part of the city to an
other as the need arises, they have
oftentimes given great aid in other
cities at times when more school
room was imperatively required and
when there was insufficient funds at
hand to construct permanent build
ings.
1t may prove vexatious problem
to seat all the pupils in the high I
school next year During the past
year the high school was crowded,
and only IS graduates last week there |
were also forty-six graduates from
the grammar grades into the high /
school, many Of who will doubtless
take advantage OF their opportunity
to get into the high schol classes 1t
may be necessary to rent some room .
outside OF the building to accommo- /.
date all the expected pupils.
The Shively school was crowded
last year and for the coming year will
be in no better condition. The Adair
was pretty well crowded last year, .
and its eight rooms averaged forty
three to the room, while thirty pupils .
are considered a goodly number for
any teacher The Taylor school is also
crowded, nearly forty to the room on
an average. The Alderbrook is the
only building that has plenty OF room.
