suMMER-pRFss THE CITY

This is the accepted time for put
ting Astoria in clean, healthful and
attractive shape for the glad summer
time. She needs a very thorough
oyerhauling in many ways; her build
ings need painting; her sidewalks are
crying out for repairs; her yards and
gardens and parks and squares are de-
mandng care and clearance; her docks
and warehouses want a good deal Of
attention including lot of whitewash
and paint; her water-face needs a
combing to rid it of the hideous
growth Of black and broken piling;
her streets need cleaning and fixing
up, and things want Strengthening up,
digging out, and putting-in, and all
the touches Of interest that conserve
the order and beauty Of community
after long and dismal winter when
things are permitted to run at hazard.
(All exceptions noted.
Astoria is one Of the beauty-spots

The "unwritten law" seems to hold
its own against all other codes in the
country, But why must the man be
always the victim Of It's implaeable
reprisal? The twentieth'century wo-
man should be held accountable for
something OF responsibility in these
fearful affairs Many a man goes 20
his death, on this score, for the smile
OF wanton, the lure Of woman who
should never have been wife nor
mother. The sex.law seems to tran

NEW NATION ARISES N
SOUTH AFRICA
CONSTITUTION is MODELLED
GREATLY AFTER THE ONE
IN THE UNITED STATES

I lONDON, Marcn Su,~~ nc new
South African Commonwealth Is
soon to become an accomplished fact,
Today according to cable dispatches
from Cape Town, the parliaments OF
Cape Colony, the Transyaal, Natal
and the Orange River Colony will
take action on the constitution re.
Gently formulated by 4 special body
Of representatives, Next June the
union convention again viii meet
to put the finishing touches TO the
plan OF government, which then win
be brought TO London for imperial
approval and for the Kings signature,
Indications are that the new gov
Iernment will be strongly centralized.
1t will follow the Canadian rather
than the American or Australian plan
in reserving all powers not specially
delegated to the provinces, Praeti-
cally all the interests and affairs OF
! the provinces are placed in the hands
of a central parliament the purely
local and administrative business OF
each province only being in the hands
Of a provincial council, which also Is
subject finally to the authority OF the
central parliament. This plan is
radical departure from the methods
Of the home country and of the other
colonial federations, and was decided
upon evidently with a view to avoid
ing the coniusions, the contributions,
and the frequent arbitrary effects OF
party government.
The suffrage in the new common
wealth is to be exercised throughout,
in all elections, local and general, and
in the secondary elections for mem
bers OF the upper house of parlia-
ment, in accordance with the prin-
ciple OF proportional representation
with the single transferable vote"
By this principle a voter, for instance
in the Transyaal, with thirty.six rep
resentatives, could vote either once
for each candidate or give two votes
for the eighteen he should elect. The
result would be that no considerable |
would be without represen-
tation fairly proportioned to its
strength.
The principle of equality in the
upper house, as in the United States
Senate, is applied in the South AZ
rican constitution, but not complete
ly. Each of the four provinces
chooses eight senators through the
vote of its provincial council and its
of the assembly, or lower
house, and to these are added eight
senator's nominated by the Governor
Genral in Council, The members of
the house of assembly are chosen by
the provinces substantially according
10 the adult male European popula-
lion. The natives who now have the
vote are not to be deprived Of it, but
none can attain it in the future, and
hey are not eligible to the parlia-
nent.
The constitution is necessarily in
he form Of an act of the British Par
lament, but amendments to some Of
is provisions may at any time be
made by the parliament of South Az
lea, and any of them may be chang.

Of form 10 to 20 per cent, which, while

Before resigning they called off all

BOWLING MEET
Go To DENVER

Tacoma was not in 1t in the
telegraphic bowling meet last
night and came out near the bot
tom of the list. Taylor, who
bowled an average of PIT the
night before in practice, fell down
and made only 405 in the three
games. Shaffer came up strong
and, had the other boys done as
well, Tacoma would have won the
contest. Shaffer rolled 619 in
the three games.
Denver won the tournament
with Spokane second, Salt Lake
third and Seattle fourth. Spokane
was high on a single game, max
ing 1,059 in one game. The
scores:
Denver. 1864; Spokane, 2,901;

Do you like to fish?

Do you like to fish?
Do you know the Joy OF a day
on stream where the white wa
ter boils, or on placid lake where
lily pads spread?
If so, about this season you be-
|gin to get nervous. The doctor
may prescribe tonic, but get down
the tackle box and overhaul the
rods and see IL the uneasiness
doesn't disappear. It's the fishing
microbe.
A lot of folks think cane pole
scent line, hook, sinker and bob
Der good enough to fish with,
Well, that's their business, but the
reason they are satisfied is that
they never knew the joy of the
bait caster, the modern follower OF
Walton.
But don't disdain the brother of
12-foot cane pole and bobber.
There are times when he will go
home laden with strings which
even the most skillful caster can't
accumulate.
At this time of the year maya
zines devoted to fishing and hunt
ing devote much space to the
gentle art of angling. When you
finish reading them, unless you
are initiated, you absorb an idea
that in order, to take such game
fish as bass pixies piekerel, musk
alonge, etc., an outfit scostine
from $25 to 800 Is necessary.
Forget it.
To men who fish for the sake
of the sport, this story is address
ed. To those who want to get all
the pleasure out of royal pastime
at the minimum cost, 1t is design
ed as wofd al cheer 1t is for
the man who works, written by
|one of his own kind.
For the uninitiated let it be
supposed he wants to learn the
art of bait casting. The only way
to do so is by watching an expert
and practicing. Bait casting is the
refinement of fishing; the pool
mans method of taking the gamy
bass and members of the pike
family. More simple and less ex
lpensive than fly casting, it is ev
lery bit as scientific.

A landing net is essential, for
more bass are lost than are taken
by trying to get them into a boat,
or on shore without a net. When
in pike or pickerel waters, it is
wise to use light wire leader, for
the sharp teeth of these fish make
short work of lines, and fine bit
of tackle may be lost for want of

BILL CRYSTALL'S- RECORD
AS PITCHER OF OPENERS
Remember Bill Cristall?

Remember Bill Cristall?
Old willy Bill, who has been
bouncing around the minors for 10
these many days. bending south
side slants and spitters over the
chatting dish for epicurean batters.
Well, this year Bill registers at
Evansville, Ind, in the Central
league, and is the veteran hurler
fof the catapulting corps. Cristall
was picked to fling the opening
game. and the reason advanced by
Manager Knoll for his selection
was that the vet was in better
shape than the others for SO i'm
portant a game.
Cristall has been performing for
nine years in more or less speedy
company, and in this time has
pitched in five openers, winning
four of them. His lone failure
was in 1907, when with New Or
leans he was defeated by At
lanta in IL innings. Maybe 1t was
because that other old-timer,
Knoll. is a wee bit superstitious
that he chose Cristall to celebrate
the opening day.
