ASTORIA AND THE N. P.

When an Astorian picks up the Sat
urday Evening Post, published al
Philadelphia land a very reputable
quota Of its miiIion-copies-a-week
circulate in this ''man's town. and
notes that the Northern Pacific Rail
way carries an extended advertise
ment in that paper; that that adj urg-
es west bound colonists over its lines
to Bozeman, Helena. Butte. Missoula,
Lewiston, Spokane, North Yakima,
Ellensburg, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla
Walia, Everett, Bellingham, Aber-
deem, Hoquiam, South Bend,
Portland, Pendleton; and Mel
son, Vancouver, and Victoria, B.
G., he naturally wonders why AS
toria is not on the list Of Western ter
minals and destinations, and the won
der, quite as naturally, passes to re-
sentiment.
When the Northern Pacific people
in this city, and those that are sent in
here, are working up east-bound bust
ness out Of here. they one and all lay
especial stress on the strong and ap-
pealing incentive that the N. P. is an
integral part of Astoria's railway sys,
tenn, and as such, should be given
fair treatment by shippers here; but
when there is chance to put Astoria
to the front as an objective point for
the colonist coming this way, the city
is not even named though a score Of
others within striking distance of her
are printed in conspicuous type and
framed up alluringly. This may be
an equitable deal but there are those
in this city who do not think so, and
who, in the course Of their arrange
ments to bring friends and kinsmen
here, are not likely to write warmly
nor directly of that line. It pays to
be square; and the N P. must recos.
nize the obligation, since it is part
and parcel Of the system centering
here" with definite claims for patron
age in and out Of Astoria.
r The same thing applies to its local
advertisements, covering the coast
business in Summer: It tells its Mon
tana and Idaho and Eastern Washing
ton patrons all about the delights Of
the Washington coast resorts and re-
mains vociferously silent about the

There seems to be much TO com
mend the practice of employing doc

homes of his clients, watch their diet

ton OF their person and homes; t.
teach them the laws Of health and how
to be temperate in eating, drinking

work. People who are never sick are
the ones to whom this should apply
with special force, for there always
