\ very pleasant evening was had
by everyone participating in the ice
cream social given Wednesday eve
ming by the Daughters of Rebekah
at the home of Mrs. C. Carothers.
The lawn was elegantly decorated
with streamers in pink and Nile
green. the lodge colors, and with
varicolored incandescents. Whine
not so largely patronized as other
wise would have been the case, the
affair was fairly successful in spite
of the cold weather which made an
overcoat preferable to ice cream. A
small sum over expenses was cleared.
1t is probable that the lodge will
give another of the same sort of
entertainments within short time,
when it is safe to say that they will
well patronized.

CHINESE GENTLEMAN IS

HE WRITES A LETTER TO THE

The following interesting COM
munication, written in a good hand,
in rather notably careful handwrit-
ing, has been received by the Astor-
ian with request to let the people
know what il contains:

"P. S.-put this business into paper

II Is evident that some one OF the
Chinese residents has run up against
the Chinese societies, who try to rule
with an iron hand, and apparently
he is not being permitted to rent
building he wants. Hence, probable

MUCH MONEY IS SPENT
ON COUNTY ROADS
ABOUT $4,000, BUT THERE rs
SAID TO BE MUCH TO
SHOW FOR TT.

Judge Trenchard and Commission.
ers Moore and Frye have caused TO
be prepared statement OF the eS-
penditures made during the year
1908 on the roads Of the county, and
the tabulation shows many interest,"
ing figures, The Astorian win pub
lish this statement in full within a
short time, showing, as Il does, all
the work done in the various dis
triets Of the county,
clatsop county may well be proud
OF its fine highways, some OF which
are so finely and substantially built
that they would elicit admiration and
praise from road builders from any
State in the Union. At the present
time there are rs miles Of graveIled
roads in the county, 22s miles of
rocked roads, and 26S miles laid
with planks or puncheons. During
the past year the total sum Of $@,-
$3.50 has been spent on the county
roads Of this county, big sum, but
Iii Is said there Is much to show for It.
OF this sum $sS,07o was expended
out of the general fund, and the sum
Of $27,s4Ss0 out of the special funds
and outstanding warrants Of this
total sum Of $i3,s3oo4 was spent on
bridges and their attention.
Generally speaking the sum Of q
little over $4,000 has been spent
during the year on the county roads
and bridges. OF this sum about $l2,-
600 had been provided for in the levy
for roads and about 5000 for bridges,
making a total Of about 10000 which
had been provided for in the levy at
the commencement of the year. In
addition to this the sum OF about
$4,000 had been provided for by the
special Ievies made in various dis.
tricts. Hence il appears that the
county court has spent a consider
able sum more than had been pro-
vided for; in other words the budget
has been exceeded to 4 considerable
sum. But the county court apPar-
entity found that ii had the work to
do, and could not drop II without ser
iusly interfering with the roads as =
whole. 1t is understood that the
banks and others advised the con-
tinuation OF the work, even though
this demanded going over the levy
to a considerable extent.

No CHAIRS BEHIND THE.
STORE COUNTERS
STATE FACTORY INSPECTOR
ISSUES WARRANT AGAINST
A LOCAL STORE

AZ the instance OF ., p, Hoti,
state commissioner OF labor statistics
and inspector OF factories and work
shops, warrant was issued yester-
day against the NJ, S, Copeland store
on the charge Of not having seats
behind the counters for the gil
employees,
i Complaint had been made 10 Mr.,
HoE from this city and he came to
Astoria TO prosecute the matter.
After making personal inspection
Mr., Hotf asked for the issuance OF
the warrant.
Mr. Copeland appeared in justice
court yesterday to answer to the
charge Mr., Copeland denied with
much vehemenee that the company
was guilty Of any intentional or real
violation Of the state law. He as
serted that chairs we're provided. but
that the girls found them to be in
the way and were accustomed TO put
them out in front OF the counters
Mr., Copeland insisted that the chairs
were provided as the law requires:
but that the young women employees
themselves were alone responsible
for the fact that they were not be.
hind the counters.
Commissioner Hoff explained that
the law has been adjudicated to
mean that the chairs must be placed
behind the counters. irrespective as
to the fact that they may or may not
be taken away by employees or
others.
Mr. Copeland evidently did not
believe that he was guilty Of any in
territorial wrongdoing. though per-
haps technically guilty. and he was
reluctant to admit that he should be
held responsible in the least, Finally
a compromise was reached. Mr..
COPELAND paid the costs Of the ae-
ton. a trivial matter, and agreed to
place stationery seats behind the
counters. II appears that there are
persons in this city who are inter.
ested In the enforcement OF the labor
laws and Il was from them that the
original complaint was made. Other
complaints Of more or less serious
nature have apparently been made in
relation to other places. though evil

THE FEET OF THE SHEPHERD

The wind in the olives is crisp today,
The white-caps ruffle the tossing wave,
And the feet of the Shepherd who came to save
Are tTeading the dust of the worlds highway
He seeking the lamb that has wandered far.
He is climbing the hills that are rough and cold
He is seeking the lost in the wood and void
And calling it back beneath sun and star
Have you heard them cry that He's coming near:
Then hasten out and be swift to greet,
And neel before Him and kiss His feet,
For It's heavens own love that has brought Him
here
Friend. would you walk on the Jesus road
Then hearken, for there you must walk with
Him.
He may come at noon or at the twilight dim.
Let Him rest in your hearts as His own abode.
