In jjusljice to yourself and the
county in which you live, you should
be a subsediber to at least one of
your county papers. If you take
one county paper, then no criticism
is due if you subscribe for every
other publication from Boston to
San Francisco. But your first duty
is to take the home paper.

to all enterprises and a valuable ad
dition to Astoria society. Had it not
been for the parsimonious policy
of the 'chamber of commerce, Mr.
Hammond would have built a $500,
000 saw mill at Astoria instead of
going to Eureka, Had it not been
for the obstacles thrown in the way,
and the selfish spirit of that now de
funct organization, Mr. Hammond
would have probably spent $1,000,
000 in developing the resources of
Clatsop county, instead of there be
ing about 14,000 population, As
toria todav would have been a live
bustling city of at least 25,000.
There is no doubt but the chamber
of commerce drove Mr. Hammond
away from Astoria, with the assist
ance of some of the individual mem
bers. When our Heavenly Father
in His infinite wisdom can see His
way clear to remove from this vale
of tears a few of the members of
this obscure organization it is be
lieved that Mr. Hammond will
again return to Astoria and take up
the work of developing the resource
of the county as he contemplated
doing when he constructed the rail
road. He has several times express
ed a desire to do so, but when he
thinks of the chamber of commerce,
he takes another trip to Eureka in
order to forget the past. Astorian.

The steamship "Vancouver" has
been chartered by the Salvation
Army of Great Britain to carry one
thousand emigrants of good charac
ter to Canada. Some of these emi
grants have as much as $5000 each,
and one family brings $20,000. In
1904 the Army sent out twelve hun
dred people with encouraging re
sults. ' Men are earning several
times what they earned in England.
Could not the American Army take
a hand in the better distribution of
our population? It might do some
thing toward turning Itajians south
ward. It could turn people from our
slum populations westward. It
may, for instance, in the dim future,
when the Government has decided
to reclaim Nevada, help to build up
that state. Let us take a glance at
this, the most humiliated Slate in
our union, which covers a territory
larger than the states of New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connect
icut, and Rhode Island combined,
and has a population less than the
citv of lonkers. The soil of Ne
vada is chemically as good as any
in the land, and only needs water
to be as fertile as any. Its apples,
potatoes, sfraw berries, and one or
two other fruits and vegetables,
took first prize at the Horticultural
Hall at the World's Fair. A Ne
vada potato in San Francisco is a
luxury and sells for extreme prices
at fancy groceries. The one trouble
oi the State is that it is dry. It
has no water. It has no rain. The
feeble little rivers disappear in
sinks" and never leave the state.
The once great "boom" State, de
pending too much on mining in
terests and grazing on ranches,
which include hundreds of square
miles, will sometime be made valu
able for agriculture. Reclaimjing
such a state would add more to the
power and safety of the Union than
many battleships. Collier's.

The President of America.
It is evident that some Englishmen
are willing to permit us to refer to our
selves as Americans. The London Ex
press, for instance, says:
"President Roosevelt, Mr. Hay, Secre
tary of State, and Mr. Wynne, Post
master General of America, have signed
the parcels post convention between the
United States and Great Britain."
We thank our London contemporary
for this concession. Mr. Roosevelt, is,
indeed. President of America, but mod
esty has hitherto kept us from referring
to him in that broad, unbounded way.
Dougherty's Majority.
An Indiana correspondent writes:
Can you furnish me with or tell me
where I can secure the words of the
song beginning: N
"A short time ago. boys, an Irishman
named Dougherty
Was elected to the Senate by a very
large majority."
We are glad to say we have never
heard this song nor read the words of
it. Possibly it was one that made a
man commit suicide a few days ago in a
Chicago vaudeville theatre.
CENTENNIAL. NOTES.
Work has been begun on New York's
$15,000 state pavilion at the Lewis &
Clark Exposition.
June 14, will be the Daughters' of the
Revolution and American Flag Day at
the Lewis & Clark Exposition.
The American Library Association will'
meet at the Lewis & Clark Exposition
from Juiy 2 to July 7.
NOW FOR A GRAND CELEBRATION.
The Oregon City Fire Tourna
ment and Fourth of July Celebra
tion Committee at a recent meeting
effected an organization by naming
a number of the most enthusiastic
firemen in Oregon City to the vari
ous offices, as follows: W. H. How
ell, president ; J. W. Cole, vice- pres
ident; E. G. Caufield,'. treasurer;
J act R. Caufield, secretary. It has
been suggested that if there is any
thing in a name then the organiza
tion will surely be able to arrange a
record-breaking entertainment for
the visitors to this city during the
J ournament. But it may be prom
ised even at this early date, that the
program of events for the three
days' celebration will be as good as
the name of the committee is long.
There will be offered sufficiently
large purses for the hose races to
attract to the citv competing teams
from all over the state and it may
safely be predicted that the attend
ance will exceed anything seen here
in years. With the splendid co-operation
the members of the commit
tee are receiving from the business
men of Oregon City, the affair can
not be anything but a grand success.
Frank Vincent DuMond, .the famous
artist and proprietor of the Lyme school,
has been appointed chief of the art de
partment of the Lewis & Clark Exposi
tlon.
