WATERFRONT NEWS
OF A DAY
BRAEMOUNT IN FROM SAN
FRANCISCO-HAMMOND LOG
RAFT BREAKS FROM DOL
PHINS-LINERS DUE TO SAIL

1t is said a general scheme of re.
pair and improvement has been de
vised for the o. r. & n. Company's
dock here, and an appropriation al
ready made to cover the whole de-
tail, down to the replacement of the
broken window panes throughout the
great sheds. The o00-foot structure
will be sprayed in chrom-yellow on
the outside and white on the interior,
while the several acres of roof will
be done in deep red; and Agent G.
w. Roberts has been hoping the ex-
terror work, at least, might be done
before the regatta season; and while
this is not probable now, he is GER
tain no time will be lost in starting
the cleanup. All this is happily sug
gestive OF what might be done for
the Astoria waterfront, if all owners
would evince the same interest ana
spruce up the big properties and
buildings abutting on the Columbia.
Such campaign has been sorely
needed here for years, and no better
example can be set, or followed than
the work projected blythe o. R. & N.
people.

The Commercial.

One Of the coziest and most popu-
lar resorts in the city is the CONNER
cial. A new billiard room. a pleasant
sitting room and handsome fixtures
all go to make an agreeable meeting
place for gentlemen, there to discuss
the topics of the day, play game of
billiards and enjoy the fine refresh
ments served there. The best of
goods are only handled, and this fact
being SO we'll known, large business
is done at the Commercial, on Com
mercial street, near Eleventh.

Two Telephone
Systems
Do Not Result i'm
Competition But
Duplication

COMPETITION-"A common con.
test or striving for the same object
Century Dictionary.
THE OBJECTS your patronage.
Neither OF two competing telephone
companies can attain il to the exclu
sion OF the other. II both succeed,
the OBJECT is DUPLICATED.
Who pays the double charger
The effect OF two rival telephone
systems in one city is to divide the
population into two parts without
means OF telephone communication
with each other, except at excessive
cost. While a single system promotes
general intercommunication, two sys-
TENS make it impracticablc,
Two systems therefore, greatly re-
strict the utility OF the telephone,
seriously impair its value and greatly
impede its commercial dcvelopemnt.
While the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company has not, during
the past few years, expended as large
a sum toward the better OF its local
plant as the people OF Astoria prob
ably feel they were entitled to, still
it has shown good faith to no small
extent when the depressed financial
conditions are taken into con
sideration, in the expenditure Of
nearly $4,000 within the past year in
new cable construction, being work,
preparatory to the installation OF
most modern common battery sys~
TEN.
The company wilI' at once erect
new modern style, pressed brick, Of
fee building upon a valuable lot al
ready owned
So far as the company's telephone
rates are concerned, no complaint has
been heard Of their being unreason
able, and as to the future UNDER the
new system they are guaranteed not
to exceed $3.50 per month for main
line business phone; So per month
for two party line business phone;
81 per month for main line resi-
dence phone and $l75 per month for
a two party line residence phone up
to an exchange Of 1000 telephones.
In addition to what has already
gone into recent cable construction,
fully 100000 will be expended upon
the company's new plant outside Of
thc new building. Active prepara
tions are now being made to go for
ward with the entire work.
With this bona fire assurance Of a |
betternfent Of telephone service to the
extent noted on the part OF the Pa
cihc Company and with the
knowledge that may be had without
taking the word of any interested per-
son, of the expensive and exasperat-
ing trials through which the people OF
Pacific Coast cities have
passed, and in fact, are now passing,
in an effort to operate some opposi-
ion or Home telephone plant left on
their hands by an outside promoter
who was lavish in his promises Of
big profits, do the people of Astoria
wish to become involved in similar

A marine arrival of extraordinary
importance was registered in this
port, in the wee sma' hours OF yes
terday morning, by Captain Bob
Jones, of the famous motor packet
Della, and checked UP as correct" by
a group OF fishermen who are alleged
to have been in touch with the visi-
tor. 1t was no less a craft than the

the change in the tide and the drift
of the bar feet OF fsh-boat and nets
that swung down on him. He Spout

for the open sea and waded through

MEETING HERE FOR
GOOD ROADS
PORTLAND ORGANIZATION
ASKS THAT ONE BE HELD IN
ASTORIA ON THE NIGHT OF
SEPTEMBER 2.

The ways and means committee o
the Good Roads Association formed
in Portland the early part OF tht
week Is already starting in on it,
campaign to help the movement
along, Yesterday letter was re-
ceived by the Chamber OF Commerc,
from the committee, stating that I
"rousing meeting has been arranged
for in Astoria on the night OF Sep
tember ,, Ii was also said in th,
communication that Astoria would be
called upon to give $l00 towards the
plan OF raising $4,000, which is to
be used in furthering the campaign OF
education along these lines through
out the StaSte of Oregon.
The city OF Portland voluntarily
offered to give hall OF the $4,000 in
case the other half is secured.
Whether the Chamber OF Com
merce will give the sum of $l00 is, OF
course, not yet known. The Chamber
has need for all the money il can read
lily secure in its routine work, sspec-
tally for Advertising One or two men
who were spoken to, however, said
that by all means this city should
gladly pay over the 500 asked even
ii the Chamber had to repench on
other things.
Judge Trenchard, who played an
part in the Portland con
vention, said last evening that he be
lieves that much good will resulting
from the gathering in Portland,
though the old state Good Roads As
sociation, OF which Judge Trenchard
is an official, will continue in exist
ence and will take an active part in
the movement and in shaping legisla
ton pertaining to the public high
ways.
Il believe there isn't any county in
the state, all things considered"
said Judge Trenchard, that makes a
better showing that Clatsop. There
is perhaps no other county in Ore
gon which has greater natural Difficult
ties to overcome than we have; that
is, in the character OF the soil, in the
hills and in the heavy forests, and
not least OF all, in the comparatively
sparse population. Yet few counties
have accomplished as much as has
Clatsop. We have roads as well built
as any | have seen in Oregon, and

COUNTRY LIFE.

Country life has its drawbacks,
but it has its great advantages which
overcome them. True, those who live
in the country are 'Rubes and
"farmers and "hayseeds" to the
cigarette smokers in town, but the
boast of the business men in the
world today is that they were born
on farm. Take away the surround
ing evils that beset the young men or
women on the threshold Of life's jour-
ney in the city, and substitute the
helpful influence Of nature, and you
fortify them for the sterner walks IN
life. The few things which they do
not know about table etiquette and
when it is proper to leave two visiting
cards and when but one, they will
catch onto much quicker than city
bows and girls will learn to properly
stoke the furnace or make good bread.
No boy or girl need be ashamed of
living on the farm, for if they have
taken advantage of what it has Of
fered they are we'll fortified for after
life.-Dodson Times.

MISTAKES OF DAIRYMEN.

There are proably few mistakes
more serious, from a financial stand
point, than the mistakes of dairymen.
The man who fails to milk his COWS
today has made a mistake and the
penalty is not only the loss of today's
milk, but it means a permanent
shrinkage This may be very small,
hardly perceptible, but it is neverthe-
less true. A COW that is in the habit
of milking ten months and this year
is only MIXED nine months, will re-
duce her period Of lactation next year
and very serious mistake has been
made. 1t doesn't simply mean the
loss of one month s milk this year. It
may mean one month each year for
five years or possibly ten years. That
means $40 or $50. If you do that
with ten COWS it means $500 or $500.
If with twenty COWS, it means enough
to buy little farm. ''The mill will
never grind with the water that is
past"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-12-03

The man who became discouraged
when the pastures dried up and when
butter fat was low for a short time
and who failed to provide his COWS
with good succulent feed made a mis-
take and very serious one, because
now the price has gone up and the
COWS have shrunk and when the mar
ket for butter fat is strong and the
price high, the flow Of milk has de-
creased and it is impossible to restore
a full flow. We know Of nothing Of
more Importance to the dairyman
than making provisions to keep up
the flow. While some years are worse
than others in this respect, it is true
that history repeats itself every year,
and it is absolutely necessary that
ample provision be made to tide the
COW over a period between the failure
Of pastures and the time when it is
customary to feed or when stalk fields

WATERCRESS FOR SPRING
BROOKS.

Every man who has a spring brook
ought to get watercress set in it, since
it will give delicious green food every
season of the year A small amount
set out near the spring will stock the
whole brook in the course of a year.
Watercress has a pleasant, pungent
taste, somewhat milder than mustard
or horseradish, and will take care of
itself if once planted in a spring
brook where the water is clean. It
may be eaten raw or prepared as a
salad. It is as wholesome as it is
agreeable to the taste. Sprigs with
roots may be got from some neighbor,
or the larger seed houses should be
able to supply the seed. Either set
ting out plants in the winter or SOW
ing the seed imbedded in a little mud
and stuck into the edge Of the water
will give a good stand.-Toombs

is "a inches long. Mr.. Smith has
about half an acre in turnips, and sold
SIS worth therefrom in one day. If
more Of our farmers would pay more
attention to crops of this kind in
stead of expanding all Of their en-
ergies in the production Of cotton,
the country would speedily be in a
healthier financial condition.-Forest

ed to. When carelessness permits it
to accumulate this is only intensified.
All the stalls and beds should be
kept perfectly clean and the bedding
changed often. At least twice a week
the bedding should be removed from
the floor and thorough disinfectant
sprinkled on it. AS cheap and effec-
tive disinfectant as can be used is
air-slacked lime to which may be
added a small amount Of crude car
bolic acid Sprinkle this on the floor
of the stalls and cover with dry bed
