Why does W ashington In the midst of the geniuses of Ms period stand alone as the greatest of b!s fellow men? It Is because he stood steadfast for the principles which he advocated and was unswerving la his acta, regardless of the temptations which beset him. He put ambition aside and kl -country first.

"When the time came for him to retire and seek the arts of peace and the com forts of repose, he delivered to the world his famous farewell address, than w .rh there Is no greater document. In this he asserts that the morality of a nation cannot exist without religion and In that spoke of something which is even appli cable to this day and for this occasion for which we have gathered around the festive board the care of the orphan. His message Is a meassce for the clti sens to ponder over. Morality is the handmaid-n of religion. Without It no nfctfnn can exist.

YOO'C WAS BIG PACKER Man Who Pied In Los Anjrcles Prominent In Business Affairs. ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 2!. (Special.) Benjamin Young, of this city, who died suddenly In Los Angeles todav. was for many years one of the leading sal mon packers on the Pacific Coast. He waa born at Malmo, Sweden. In 1843. and was thus ( years of age at the time of his death. After finishing school ha went to sea, when but a lad, and arrived at Fan Francisco In 188, being employed In a sugar factory there for about three years. In 1871 he returned to his former home In Sweden, where he was married to Miss Christine Sevenson. -a former schoolmate, and immediately there after returned to San Francisco. In 1874 Mr. Young came to Astoria and engaged In the fishing business.

AIM TO KILL RECIPROCITY Several Appropriation Bills May Fall, Together With Direct Elec tion and Vote on Lorlmrr. IemocraU Will Profit. WASHINGTON", Feb. 22. The chaotic conditions existing In the United States Senate tonight add to the probability of an extra session of Congress. In fact, probabilities began to multi ply today that Senate leaders, having voiced the opinion that an extra ses sion Is unavoidable, have decided to throw Into that session a great deal more than the Canadian reciprocity agreement, which really will be the cause for convening of the new Con gress. This. It was charged by the advocates of reciprocity, will be done to becloud the Issue and to delay the ratification of the agreement by much the sams tactics as have characterized the pres ent session. Under the guise of fight ing over other matters. It Is charged, consideration of the reciprocity agree ment will be continuously postponed. President Taft is said to be doing all he ran to bring the Republican leaders in line, but Is met with opposition In both wings of the party regulars and Insurgents. Appropriations Will Fail. The prediction was freely made about the Capitol that several appropriation bills would fail of passage. If this should prove to be the case, it would mean that the supply measures pend ing in the Senate or in conference would be thrown out In their entirety and the making of the new measures would be left In the hands of the Demo cratic houses. There appears no disposition to ques tion the President's sincerity in his determination to call the (2d Congress In extraordinary session. The date tentatively agreed upon Is March IB. In some quarters there Is a feeling the Senate may act upon the reciprocity bllL Serious doubt was expressed as to whether a vote on the Lorlmer case would be possible In the Senate at this session. There also seemed to be little hope that the resolution regarding the direct election of Senators could be reported. The permanent tariff board bill remains to be considered in the Senate, with seemingly small chance of bringing it to an early vote. In the meantime there appears to be no disposition on the part of the Senate leaders to bring the appropriation bills forward for consideration. Insurgents Plan Campaign. Several insurgent Republican Sen ators, who will retain their seats In the 2d Concress, met today In the of fice of Clapp of Minnesota and began formulating a plan of campaign for the remainder of the session. Triey de clare they are in favor of an extra ses sion. Incidentally all of these insur gent Senators who will be In the next Congress are opposed to the Canadian agreement In its present form. Inasmuch as none of the important measures pending In the Senate Is be ing pressed to final action, it may not be necessary for the opponents of reciprocity to bring about a filibuster. If it-should appear, however, that there Is a disposition to force a vote next week, the insurgent Senators, it waa said, are prepared to Inaugurate a filibuster on the postoffice appropria tion bill. This would be In the nature of a fight against the provision In creasing the rates of postage on the advertising sections of the large mag azines. The situation in the Senate is prac tically without precedent. There have been other years when appropriation bills were hurried through In the last two or three days of the session, but with a number of other 'mportant measures pending, there are said to be few, if any, parallels for present con ditions.

IS HOQCIAM AND ABERDEEN DE CIDE ON NEW COUXTT. Citizens Agree to Act Toward Making Iloqulam County Seat Tempor arily Until Election., HOQL'IAM. Wash.. Feb. 22. (Spe cial.) Citizens of Hoqulam and Aber deen to the number of about 400 met tonight in the Grand Theater In Aber deen to consider the proposed division of Chehalls County. All ran along calmly until the even ing was far advanced, when Jndge Pearson. A- J- Stewart and R. A. Wiley began to question the members of the Board of County Commissioners, but even ater the debate had become rsther sharp, the audience, by an al most unanimous vote, went on record for county division and authorized the chairman to appoint a committee of as many men as he saw fit to go to Olympla and work for the passage of the bill. Not over 25 per cent of the persons present voted against the reso lution favoring removal, and about 200 signed the petitions which were circu lated during the meeting. It seemed to be agreed that Hoqulam should be the temporary county seat until a general election, when the county seat can only be changed by a three-fifths vote In the new county. Judge Pearson gave as one of his ob jections to the bill that when that elec tion came Aberdeen and Hoqulam. al though all smiles now, 'would be fight ing one another. "I've been through two such lights." declared the Judge, "and 1 want no more of it, at least until Aberdeen and Hoqulam are married and have the same name."

Courtney clearly outclassed his opponent. They fought at about 170 pounds, and the mill was to have been for six rounds.
