THREW CHEERS FOR ASTORIA.
Astoria is to be congratulated In
having secured the settlers rate for
September and October accorded oth
er places oS tlne'cSMSC v
"Credit Is due the chamber of com
merce for Its persistency. But with
out th? aid of A. L. Cra'g, passenger
agent of the O. R- & N. Co.,the efforts
of that foody would have been much
more prolonged.
About August 5, Mr. Craig asked the
Tassenger Association to allow the set
tlers' rates to Astoria, but the request
was denied on the 16th. Not at all
discouraged, he appealed to the Vnlon
Pacific, which thought favorably of the
matter and on the 19th announced,
that It, with the Oregon Short line
and O. R. & N. Company would, in
dependently of the association, grant
the requested and much needed rates
to Astoria.
All the roads then acquiesced, so As
toria now stands an even show with
the other localities of the Pacific coast
to locate Immigrants ujon the lands
in its vicinity. Good for the chamber
of commerce.
MEEKNESS OF THK CIVI"
ERATIOX.
FED-
Examiner:
Replying to the criticism of the Civ
ic Federation Senator Hanna recently
announced that that body has " pre
vented eleven strike since November."
That ts eleven times better than
nothing, of course. Still It Is a state
ment of accomplishment that Impress
es the mind much as would the boast
of a fire department that It had suc
ceeded In putting out eleven Email
fires, but had failed to stop a onfiag
ration that had consumed half of the
town.
The great strike in the anthracite
coal finelds ha deprived the country of
expectation of large results from the
Civic Federation. vVhen it came Into
existence last winter the hope was ex
pressed everywhere that It would do
much toward substituting arbitration
for the strive. At the first real test of
Its strength, however, at the first for
midable defiance, the Civic Federation
has retired from the field df-featd
and apparently not resenting defeat.
The miners were willing to arbitrate
from the beginning, but the mine
owners wtre not The offers of the
federation to Intervene In the Intersts
of peace were met by the mine own
ers with haughty insolen e. " Mind
your own business and don't attempt
to interfere with ours, ' was thdr at
titude. :2?J.F!

If the coal trust had treated Sena
tor Hanna In his private capacity no
a business man In the aanio fhlon
that It treated him when he we.it to
It on a strike-preventing mission its
chairman of the Civic Federation, the
whole Vnlted States would have lie.mt
the rattle of the coal trust's ttvih.
Long ago the Sherman anti-trust law
would have been Invoked and th;N In
terstate Commerce Commission set it
work. For Senator Hanna is not un
Influontitil with President Roosevelt.
The pilot commissioner have very
properly declined to issue any more
tranches to applicants. The pilotage
tif vessels Is an important matter and
the promiscuous Issue of licenses
'would do more than anything else to
impair the service. The howl for more
pilots came, of course, from Port 'and,
'which had no better excuse to o:Ter
for the poor dispatch given to Vvssels

There is not much doubt that all will

Happiness must be founded on health.
Where there is ill-health there will
surely lie unhappines. The happiness
of many a home has received its down
fall at the table, spread with rich ami
dainty foocK The first symptoms of
disease of the stomach are ijjuorcd as
tviujr disagreeable but not dangerous.
Presently dyswpsia or some other form
of disease fastens on the stomach.
At anv stag Or. Pierce's Golden Med
ical liiscovery will cure diseases of the
stomach and "other organs of digestion
and nutrition. But the cure is quicker
if the "Discovery" is used iu the
earSicr stages of disease. If you have
any scmptoms of diseased stomach
use "Golden Medical Piseovery " and
be cured.
