Palne'a Celery Compound la the one
great remedy for dyspepsia and weak

dyspepsia. languor and Irresist

muscular walls of the stomach In vig

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Conference Held by Republican Mem
bers of Ways and Means
Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-RepubU-
can members of the ways and means
committee were tn conference this
afternoon on the subject of Cuban
reciprocity. The conference went
over without action unttl tomorrow.
The proposition brought forward, by
Represntatlve Long, of Kansas, au
thorises the president when Cuba was
prepared to grant 40 per cent on all
products of the island coming to the
I'nited States. This was a straight
reciprocity proposition.

The remarkable Increase in the de

fact that every person who has ever

TO IMPROVE THE FORT
DEPARTMENT URGED TO
COMPLETE STEVENS.
It
Astoria' Puwh Club Wants
Used as a Headquarters
for Soldiers.
A determined effort is to be made
locally to Induce the War Department
to utilize Fort Stevens as a post for
for the mobilisation of troops, and
Secretary Lyman, of the Push Club,
haa been instructed to communicate
regarding the matter with Senator
Mitchell. Several months ago this
matter was brought to the attention
of the commercial bodies of this city,
but before any definite results had
been obtained the effort was given
up. It Is now thought that persistent
demand will accomplish the desired
end, and that Senator MHcbell will
be able to induce the War Department
to recognise Fort Stevens In a more
general manner.
In addressing the Push Club on the
matter, H. G. Van Dusen said: "I am
satisfied we can Induce the War De
partment to establish military head
quarters at the fort If we persist In
our efforts. Personally, I believe hi
kicking. Those of us who are easily
satisfied seldom get aa much ss we
are entitled to, and the only way to
induce the government to act Is to
keep constantly at it. Fort Stevens
offer the very best advantages as the
headquarters of large bodies of troops, ,
and. while the War Department is
thoroughly acquainted with the situ
ation. It is the place of the com
mercial bodies of this city to urge ac
tion, .y ''
"Fort Stevens Is particularly well
adapted to the mobilization of troops
on account of Its healthfulness. The
Presidio cannot be compared with it
Hhere the climate Is always mild, and
the bleak winds that sweep the Pre
Here the climate ts always mild, and
not prevail at (Fort Stevens. What
Is more, Stevens offers unsurpassed
facilities for the transportation of
troops, who could be marched from
their quarters aboard a transport
without the slightest difficulty. Of
course, the officers would much pre
fer residence nearer a larger city, but
Portland Is not far distant, the trip
requiring only four hours. Senator
Mitchell should be urged Do Impress
upon the department the advantages
offered at the fort."
The government preserves on which
the fort is built contains between 600
and 800 acres. However,, the building
of the . Jetty caused more than 1000
acres of land to be artificially provid
ed, so there Is ample room at Stevens
for all the troops that ihe department
might wish to mobollse there. This
land created by the Jetty can be re
claimed at slight expense merely by
seeding it Property in the vicinity
of the fort could be bought at a very
low figure, so no objection could be
waged on this score. It is pointed out
that Inland forts are being abandoned
by the government and troops being
removed to the coast It is felt here
that Oregon should not be overlooked
in this matter, as has been done In the
transport business, for which Portland
made euch a strong bid, and the com
mercial bodies feel tbey can rely upon
the support of all the other communi
ties of the state.
There is only one drawback at Ste
vens, and that is lack of water. At
present the water supply comes from
wells and is most unsatisfactory. Some
time ago the department asked the
city to submit figures for a supply
or water and a most reasonable rate
was made- The water commission
agreed to permit the government to
lay a separate main from the reser
voir, or else that it would permit con
nection to be made to the city limits.
the government to lay pipes from the
fort to Smith Point The Mea of re
ceiving water from Astoria was aband
oned at that rime, because it u-.
thought the well system would prove
successful. The rate made by the wa
ter commission Is said to have been
less than one-half that charged by
the company which furnish water at
the Presidio.
It is understood that the department
w'll not cause more troops to be sta
tioned at Stevens until the water prob
lem Is solved. An adequate suddIv
can be obtained from the Lewis and
Clark river, at a cost, k is km nt
not to exceed $50,000. Private compa
nies have volunteered to provide a
supply, but the government objects
to Warren ton. Flavel and New Astoria
being supplied from the mains which,
would run to the fort It Is believed
here that the department already has
planned for a water system.
That Fort Stevens, which has cost
to date about $1,500,000, is intended for
something more than a fortification is
evident from the Jealous manner in
which encroachments on the preserve
are prevented. Persons hn hav.
tried to build fish traps have been
summarily ordered off the preserve,
and It is believed extensive Improve
ments are contemplated.
