dollars overthe bonded Indebtedness
has grown up. At the same time
the sinking fund has been increased
to fourteen thousand dollars which
practically pays off that amount of
the light and water bonds. This is
a condition that should be changed
at once, and there is no way to do it,
other than by calling a halt on per
manent Improvements, and apply
ing the taxes to pay the debt. The
present Council is pledged and in
structed by the people to do this,
and it will require some frmness on
the part Of the Street Committee
and President of Council to resist
from the citizens. Pay off
the floating debt then let us have

WHEN the great sorrow of a strong
man $ life fell upon DR.. Thomas c..
Moore a week ago, and his beloved
wife lay dead in their home only a
year after his bright and only son
had been laid at rest in his youth
ful grave, wave of sympathy ran
through the breast of every man
who ever came into contact with
genial, sterling, and true Tom
Moore a man who never went back
on a friend a man whose sympa-
thies led him to do thousands of
~ S of mercy and kindness in his
profession, and a man on whom
his constituency leaned in confidence;
such a man was our friend, DR.. Tho
mas G. Moore, of Smyrna, Della
ware. Such men are too few in this
life; but the bitter cup of sorrow
was even yet to be drained and, as
he stood over the bier of his wife,
he was stricken with paralysis
which affected the entire left side of
the body, and he now lays helpless
and unable to converse in his strick-
en- home, attended by loving friends
and an almost orphaned young
daughter. He is aware of his true
and like the strong Wig
orous man he has always been, is
in every way to make the

THERE is a period in the affairs
Of all business when it is well to
pause, strengthen and set the blances
straight. Such a time has been
met by the municipality of Milford,
and it is but fair that the taxpayers
should express their opinions to the
men serving them in Town Council;
as they did last Friday night at a
town meeting. There is no accusa-
ton of extravigance, or complaint
Of any short coming on the part of
Council by the taxpayers; but
without increasing the tax rate, the
policy of extending sewers and
building macadam road can not be
continued. Under the old charter
a sufficient sum could not be raised
legally to pay for the Improvements
made. and a debt Of fifteen thousand !

IT does not pay to advertise say
some merchants who have done but
little of it and that without keep
ing it up. The incident Of the
boy and the pump illustrate the
Speeeeatter very well. The boy was
telent after a pail of water. He
folloured in the priming and poured
.,ut as much as he poured in. Then
poae stopped to rest and the printing
wran down. After some time of al
ternate pumping and resting he
concluded it did not pay to pump
and quit in disgust. The merch-
ant who does not believe in adver-
tising does it like the boy did the
pumping. He advertised a few
weeks, then stopped while and
allowed the people to forget him
and his business before he adver-
tised again and then concluded ad-
yertising didn't pay.

HE GAVE HIMSELF AWAY.

Apropos OF the movement in New
York toward the abolition OF race
track gambling, Mrs. Jack J. War
rem, the witty Vermont reformer
said the other day in Burlington:
"Race-track gamblers always claim
that everything about the game is
square. Cross-examine them very
closely, though; looks into all their
methods; question them on every
point, and usually, like Col. Toddy OF
Tin Can, they'll give themselves
away.
"Col. Toddy OF Tin Can was a
whist sharp.
4 once, and once only" he said
in the smoking room, had all thirteen
trumps dealt me-
You, suppose, were-er--the
dealerP some one said.
"The colonel turned purple.
No. sir he roared. No sir,
blast your impudence, / was not the
dealerP
"The other nodded calmly.
Then may ! ask he said, what
happened to the trump which the
dealer turned up?"

THE WINNING TYPE.

The dispatches from San Fran
cisco tell OF a young man, the son oi
an admiral and principal owner OF q
great ship-building plant there, who,
| in the prosecution OF his mechanical
studies, has shipped to sea on the
maiden voyage of the monster me-
chanism he himself worked upon in
the shops at home. This is the type
of young American that wins out.
He has worked at his trade long
enough to learn to love it, and loving
it goes about making himself an
adept and success. This man will
be heard from in the days that are to
demand the highest qualities in his
line. His trade is one Of the most
intensely practical in the whole ganiut
OF human activity; and he is practical
enough to aspire to its very pinnacle
of trained proficiency in order to
meet the last limitation Of its de-
mands upon him as representative.
The glory Of the thing is all to come;
what he is doing at this time, is but
the hard-headed, logical, manly route
to specific accomplishment by-and-by.
The glory, if any there be, lies in be-
ing sensibly devoted to masterful
and honorable trade and man enough
to know it from its base to its climax
Of achievement. He'll get there. al
right There are many like him, and
yet far too few.

AMUSEMENT-LovING ASTORIA

Astoria is unhappily situated, just
at present, in the matter of the graft
fcation of her amusement loving pro-
pensities; she is off the direct line Of
the common circuit over which the
best schemes of entertainment travel;
and it is regrettable in the extreme
that she is denied anything in this
line, for she is quick and responsive
to such pleasure-calls, at all seasons.
1t is one of those communal at
tributes that should be cultivated to
the limit, since it serves to soften
and placate other and harsher tones
in the public character Of place and
people.
Popular love of amusement and
sport is an unequivocal asset to any
city or town and should be fostered
,inremittingly, always with the ten
dency to the cleaner and higher levels
Of the cheerful cult, and always with
the dominant idea Of putting the
fresher and harmless schemes of pub
lie enjoyment above the grosser
phases of indulgence.
We wish it were possible to have
every fine play and game and lecture
here, that reaches Portland; and yet,
are thankful for such Of the best as
we do get. The deprivation is very
real to Astoria. Her people are gen.
erous patrons in all such lines and
should have more of the opportuni-
ties afforded larger places, as much
for the real benefcient effect of the
higher grades of amusement as for the
compensation of an admirable and
universal local spirit. Some day As
toria will cease to be tangent-point,
off the beaten paths Of the great cir
cults; and when she comes into her
own as an accessible port and sta
ton on the highways Of the North

A TECHNICAL VICTORY.

After all the abuse and reproach
cast upon the Appellate Court OF
California for its alleged adverse
rulings on the pleas sent up to it by
ex-Mayor Eugene Schmitz, of San
Francisco, the Supreme Court, in the
appeal filed by the prosecution, de-
clares the intermediary court to have
been absolutely right in its findings
and denies the prayer for reversal
This is not only legal victory for
the Appellate Court, but a technical
triumph for the criminals at bar; and
a back-set of no mean proportions to
the men who have figured as the
champions of law and order and
morality there, including the irwin
chile Heney and the well-meaning
Spreckles. The whole miscarriage
Illustrating the farcical ends to which
the law, in its innumerable and VIC
ious interpretations, can be carried
with enough wit and coin of the
realm.
Justice must be done, of course,
even though the moral conviction of
the scoundrels in question be world
wide and complete; and yet there is
great measure OF good to be real
lied from the serio-comic play of
events there. The dirty manipulators
have been ousted and it is hardly
likely they will carry their pleas for
restitution to the limit of contesting
the status of their successors; and
this, of itself, is comforting, or should
be, to community that has sounded
the depths of every known civic evil
in the past 23 months; and has freed
itself even through the blunders of
its deliverers.

DECAY IN WOOD PREVENTED.

1t is estimated that fence post,
which under ordinary circumstances
will last for perhaps two years, will,
if given preservative treatment cost
ing about 10 cents, last eighteen years.
The service of other timbers, such as
railroad ties, telephone poles, and
mine props, can be doubled and often
trebled by inexpensive preservative
treatment. To-day when the cost Of
wood is big item to every farmer,
every stockman, every railroad man
ager-to everyone, in fact, who must
use timbers where it is likely to decay
this is fact which should be care
fully considered.
1t is easy to see that if the length
of time timbers can be used is doubl-
ed, only half as much timber will be
required as before and only one-haif
as much money will need to be spent
in the purchase Of timber Moreover
many wods which were after long
time considered almost worthless can
be treated and made to last as long
as the scarcer and more expensive
kinds
OF the actual saving in dollars and
cents through preservative treatment,
a fence post such as was mentioned
at the beginning might serve as one
example. The post is of loblolly
pine, and costs, untreated, about 8
