The following will probably ex plain this seeming paradox. Wttliln the confines of St. Paul ithere had resided for many years an old man and his wife, who were happy and comfortable enough, albeit they were not rich, but rather poor In this world' goods, until the western fever seized them, as u offen does the young, but rarely the old, and thev sold their earthly if...... started for Oregon. It seemed a grand Idea to them to spend the remainedr of their days beneath a Western sky, nnd they were happy as tho train thun dered out of tho depot and left St. f'aui behind them. Thy came straight through to Astoria, and the flrwt thing AnA.itnt.H.il wnfl a hravv. oln- rnehlonpil rain that Is occasionally oo- served in this locality." They discovered before long that In this pntt of the world, as In others, mortals iiiuca uusne for a living, and it wns not altogether a land of milk and honey, as they had evidently anticipated. They soon be came lonesome and discouraged, and were sorry for what they had done, and finally decided to retraoe their Journey. Shortly after this decision was arrived at, two happy and satisfied old people were among the paengrs on a tralr. thai drew away from the A. it C. de pot, and they were bound for Bt. Paul.

An Imaginative Inferrer Might Find Something Favorable to Fort Suvons. " The secretary of war has f.-pll- d to Governor Geer's communication reconv mending the establishment of a ren. d"ivous for troops at Fort 9ievns Whet he doesn't say regarding the pro ject Is of the graleat Interest. His letter Is aa follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter urging the advan tage of the Columbia river route for the d-lwrkallon ard embarkation of troops, etc., for the Philippines; also the practicability of using the reserva tion land at the mouth of the Columbia river (Fort Stevens) as a suitable camping ground for soldiers. Replying tlietvio. I beg to inform you that at the commencement of the war with Spain, the headquarters of the military de partment of the Paelllc cout was lo cated at San Francises, w here the gov ernment had a large reservation fitted Ui for the care and accommodation of larae bodies of troops, a factory fr manufacture of army cliMhlng. and where every facility was already at hand for the fitting up and reivilr of the army transport shliis, and th. head hunt ters of the army transport service wns accordingly established at that point. Such supplies for the Philip pine us can be more economically pro cured on tha North Pacific coast have been purchased and shipped from points on that coast from time to time, and a ship Is no being lltted up at Portland, Or., for carrying animals and suplle to Manila. This method of pur chase and shipments will be availed of w henever the Interests of the military service will be promoted thereby.' VNDER THE SURFACE. Some of the Things of Which Politi cians are Thinking. A gentleman from Oregon's 1st con gressional district was In town yesterday and in a conversation with an Astorlan representative, said that "the politicians are politicking" notwithstanding the apparent inactivity. "There la a treat deal of figuring" he remarked, "on Tongue's succss;r. T.iunge hlmslf seoms to be unaware of the extent of the opposition he will icive to overcome In order to secure a rvnonilnatlon, although It may be his plan of campaign, to falgn a feeling of P 'rfect security. "The opposition Is of course among ilie politicians only as his course In oo n trees has beon very satisfactory. There Is ar avowed or proposed candi date for the honor in nearly every county of tha district and some irf the counties have two or three aspirants. "Vtiownell' "will have his count? Clackamas at his bock, but it Is hard ly possible that he can secure another vote. Harry' Miller of Lane county Is given credit .for a congressional bee and oodcock Is also mentioned as a possi ble wooer. Woodcock could gel the uciegation. In Marlon, Claude Gatch, "little" Dr. Smith and others are sug- ge&ted. Gaitoh, howler, will support Tongue. "Southern Oregon has ex-speaker Carter among other mentlonables and even Dr. Kaene might possibly be in duced to overcome his life long antipa thy toward polities and shla his cas tor Into the ring. But all this opposi tion seems unorganized and I think Tongue will suoceed himself." In this district there Isn't a ripple on n. nolttlenl sea to indicate that .... Atoudy s bark will nave to race an op posing wind. One would hardly ima gine that there Is to be an election next spring. ' The senatorial question has Inspired gomo comment. There is a prevailing sentiment that McBrlde's Interests have hopelessly suffered by the reappotlon ment net. although his friends have an air of confidence. Two or throe new piifier of the state are urging the elec tion of Editor Hoatt of the Oregonlan, and those? who have othor plan have waited so far In vain for thfe vigor ous and picturesque denials of .'nator lal ambllUlon that were wmt formerly to proceed from the tall tower. DRIFTWOOD. Astoria photographer are In high gl. General Mile Is coming to town. "Ihla town nver suffer from Area," boasted the loyal Astorlan. ' I should think not," growled the visitor who had forgotten his umbrella. Ai!orla has a football team, ird It "rrxrter" have powerful lungs. The Drifter is Informed that the club haa a new yell with which to weaken the nerve of It Portland opponents. It l: Through the center, round the end, punt, punt, punt; Common jolrit, common point, is all we want. Report from Ohio Indicate that the election returns next week will show thai tbTe Is nothing serious the maiter with Hanna. The State Agricultural colleg la de stroying precedents as well as harmful Insects. The last legislature mad an appropriation of $19,363 for a heating plant for the Institution. The regent contrived to have the work done for tl'.f'W and will turn back to the state $?.0"0. Such pitiful simplicity Is enough lu turn a politician's hair gray. Two traniports will pass Ast.rla to day. This does us no harm, but If there Is anything exhilarating In the view the average Astorlan has missed it. Of course as Americans we can take the Interest that any American ml;M, but as Astorlana the event means nothing to us. -' OPEN DAY rMtd I f AND MIGHT... Mi " I E.
