There is much food for thought in the following ringing editorial from tho Daily Astorian, in which the selfishness of Portland Is arraigned. Tho grave charge is also made that tho recent change in engineers by which Colonel Roessler was detailed to another office, was a result of some fine Italian work by tho Portland porkers who will not tolerate any thing that does not pay tribute to that city. Colonel Roessler was a good friend of Coos Bay and was giv ing honest offlclal notlco and en dorsement of harbor work here in his reports. Soon after, came notice that Colonel Roessler was to bo sent to another point and now comes dis closures that the change was made becaus.o Colonel Roessler was giving more attention to tho duties of his office, and prosecuting tho work in all quarters without due deference to tho coterie of Portland promoters who desired everything shaped as they wished It. Hero is the article as published in the Astorian: "That the Columbia Valley Is to denied the presence of tho great fly ing fleet of war vessels in which pub lic Interests is deeply centered, Is a foregone conclusion with every man who knows anything about the care that is given such priceless posses sions. Tho Government will not risk the ships on tho Columbia bar nor In tho Columbia river because there is not sufllciont water to make their visit assuredly safe. It Is a bitter disappointment to hundreds of thou sands of people in Oregon, but oven that Is infinitely cheaper than the piling up of ships that cost from $1, 000,000 to $10,000,000 on tho bars and shoals of our great waterway. "Wo may thank Portland, for the denial. She has blown hot and cold on tho Columbia river and bar Im provements for lo, these many years, and tho rier has been channelled to meet tho bar, while the bar has been kept back so as to admit nothing that could not ascend tho river to Port land; hence, at tho supreme moment of desire, wo aro confronted with the keenest turn-down In our history. "And by way of accentuating this situation, wo may call attention to the fact that when Portland realized that Colonel Roessler was ono of those engineers who stand for tho quick and wholesome prosecution of their duties and was making a toll ing record In jetty-work and bar im provement, sho gets quietly to work to havo him supplanted, and by a man who, whllo an ablo master of his profession, is socially ninennblo nnd rather more given to dawdling over tho job that has already taken far too many years to complete. Two moro years of Colonel Roesslor's program at tho jotties, would have soon them completed, and 30 lo 10 foot of water on tho barrier; and that wa-J altogether too good a thing for tho lower Columbia, vlth a beggarly 2C toot of water In tho two rivers tha- flew between Portland and tho set. "nut how long tho United States Govormnont Is going to bo hood wlnkeu on this proposition is to bo Been, j ut wo do hope for tho credit of tho State and hor normal expan sion commercially, somo innn may reach tho Congress and toll tho straight truth about tho Columbia river and tho Columbia bar. Cod knows the story Is well enough known In all Northern Oregon; It Is ono of tho foiihst traditions of the State, despite tho Infrequent and In spired chirpings of tlu Portland press for bar a -Vlvor improvements. "Give us a 1 0-foot channel from tho spii-eunatures of the bar to the rock-harriers of The Dailos and the Fnlls of tho Willamette! That's our plea; tho plea that Portland will not and daro not echo!

After tho Honeymoon. "Pa," Inquired a small boy on the Oaklnnd boat, "what's n simoon?" "Huh!" grunted tho man without looking from his paper. "Simoon's sand storm on the dessert, dreaded by travelers." "And, pa. what's a honeymoon?" "Honeymoon's rice storm on a train, 'lijoyed by travelers." "Then a honeymoon's something like l simoon, ain't It, pa?" "Guess so. Keep quiet Don't ask so many fool questions. Look at tho on gulls." "But ain't they n good deal alike, pa -simoons and honeymoons?" "Ugh. huh. both full of hot air! Most honeymoons become simoons In a few rears. When tho ' honey's gone the ilgh'H left." "Pa. wore you ever on a honey moon?" "Peicy, if you don't stop pestering me with questions I'll never bring you over to the city again." "Well, ma said she had a honeymoon, nnd It was like a dream, and all tho rust of It's been a nightmare." San Francisco Chronicle. Lifo Saving and Law. The Roumanians are as curious in some things as the Chinese. A girl who fell into the river and was swept down by the current finally seized a bush on the bank and drew herself to shore. The owner of the hind on which the bush grew Immediately claimed a reward of 4 shillings because his bush was there and had saved hor. Her father refused to pay, and there was a lawsuit. What the law has to decide is whether drowning people can make use of bushes on tho bank with out paying for tho same or whether the assistance of the said bush is worth a certain sum of money. In China If n person falls into the water no one must help him out, but at the same time a spectator can bo im prisoned for not advising the victim to stay on dry land. Emit and a1 lowers The Navel Orange. For a product of nature a California navel orange as It graces tho breakfast table or the push cart Is about the most artificial thing in the world. It Is also a very striking Illustration of the fact that whllo beauty may be only skin deep It counts for a whole lot. To begin with, tho navel orango of California Is an exotic, reaching Its present habitat after devious wander ing. And, be It ever so sweet tasting, If Its skin has had Its beauty marred It scarcely ever gets farther than tho orchard whore It grew. Not only that, but even tho most comely ones bofore they are boted and shipped are brush ed by machinery and polished and otherwise fussed with to give them a beauty which mere nature never would havo provided.

The full grown San Jose scale li about the size of a pin head, quite flat round (circular) In outline and varying in color, but usually grayish brown. II lies closely against the bark, leaves oi fruit, nnd tho part seen Is not reallj the insect Itself, but tho shell or seal" which covers It. If this scale be lift ed with a pin a very small orang' yellow speck will be found beneath It and this Is the scale Insect. When whiter sets in the Insects ar present In all stages of growth, fron those Just born to those which are fti grown and are themselves producln young. The winter, however, kills n except those which are from about oil' half to two-thirds grown, so that i: living adults can usually be found I early spring. So far as Is known these Insects in. dergo no changes during the white fisHw llSfff SCALE AT DIFFEltENT AGES. but when the sap begins to flow freely In tho spring the young scales which survive resume their feeding on the sap which was interrupted by the cold weather and complete their growth, becoming adult in Juno. Reproduction then begins, the young being born alive, and this Continues for about six weeks, each female producing an aver age of about -100 young. The young Insects are very small and after their birth crawl out from beneath the scale where they were born and move about, seeking a place on which to settle This" takes rather moro than a day on an average, and during this time these tiny yellow crawling young may be seen wandering about. On finding a good location they become quiet, and each works its long beak through the bark or surface of the leaf or fruit, as tho case may be, to where the sap of the tree can be obtained, and the in sect sucks this sap for its food. Its legs now disappear, its body becomes hemispherical, and white waxy threads appear over Its back. These mat to gether to form a white covering or scale, and such young, recently formed scales are often very noticeable. Lat er as the Insect grow? It mobs or sheds Its skin, and the molted skin Is added to the scale, which because of this and by weathering becomes darker, grayish or oven blackish, often showing ring- of lighter ami darker color. The center of the scale Is the highest point, and around this is a circular depressed ring. If the insect beneath the scale Is a female, the scale will remain near ly circular In outline; If a male, tho scale Is moro oval or elongated In form. In a little more than a mouth from the time of its birth the Insect becomes adult and In turn begins to produce young, tho first ones appearing at about the same time as the last ones of the preceding generation. These young de velop in the same way ns did their parents, thus giving a constant succes sion of young from the middle or end of Juno In Massachusetts till winter stops the process. II. T.

Tho worst treatment they can receive Is that of shortening the summer growths dur ing tho fall, especially that of shearing them into round, stubby forms with hedge shears, at once destroying the natural, graceful beauty of the plauts and removing the best of their flower ing shoots just ns they aro preparing for an abundance of blossoms. For ex ample, the forsythla, usually a freo growing, hardy plant, will make shoots severnl feet In length during summer, will bo covered with flower buds to ward fall and prepared to blossom profusely early in the following year. Any pruning which shortens tho shoots simply removes tho flowering wood and cannot In any degree benefit the plant. Deutzlas, spiraeas, welgelas and similar flowering shrubs require the same kind of treatment. Tho bushe should be kept rather open, so that tho branches may receive full benefit of light and air. This Is ef fected by pruning out some of the old est branches or thinning out some of the young shoots where they are too dense, and these should be cut close to the base of the plant, which will encourage the growth of vigorous flow ering branches, thus keeping tho plant tlorll'erous from year to yetr, L.
