THE ASTORIAN PUBLISHING! CO..
The visit to Astoria of Inspector
Congw of the weather bureau service
reminds us that this is one of the most
Important branches of the government.
Not many years ago the agricultural
department was hooted at for under
taking to provide forecasts of weather
conditions, but now the daily prognos
tications are looked forward to with
interest and regarded with absolute
confidence by a large portion of the
people of the country. Mr. Conger
calls timely attention to the fact that
the Pacific northwest forecasters have
the most difficult field of labor, being
so located that advance reports can
not be secured. They must originate
prognostications for the entire coun
try east of the coast, and if at times
they fall to correctly predict weather
conditions they should not, as Inspect
or Conger says, be jumped upon. It
is gratifying to note that extensive im
provements are to be made lu this lo
cality, and particularly so that i
storm-warning station is to be main
talned at Chinook during the fishing
season. This station will serve to
warn fishermen of the approach of
storms and will. It is to be hoped, pre
vent the drowning of many of the men
who toil nightly upon the river for a
livelihood. The weather bureau ser
vice aims to help every class of citizens
farmerB, fishermen and mariners
alike and we should show more ap
preciation of the department. Pri
marily Intended for the benefit of the
farmer. It is being gradually extended
to cover every field that requires fore
casts, and Its great usefulness Is
growing annually. E-ery good Ameri
can will do all that is possible to ad
vance the interests of the weather bu
reau and to Increase Its efficiency.
at Ion of the salmon Industry depends
entirely upon the success of artificial
propagation, and it is deplorable in
the extreme that the criticism of the
conduct of the department should come
from the community most Interested.
The general public will be satisfied with
the leport of the Push club committee
that the warden's work is being pro
perly attended to.
The overcrowding of the schools of
Astoria is to be regretted, but it Is not
clear how relief can be afforded Im
mediately. The school district In
which the city is located has about all
It can do to nay the expenses of the
present system, and until the assessed
val iation of the city is raised to some
thl. s like a reasonable figure the lack
of funds for school purposes will be
felt. t'nderpaid teachers and over
crowded schools are not desirable by
any means, but for the time at least
we must grin and bear It.
Portland's streets are being torn up
and replaced with new ones, and her
old bridges will be put In good repair.
There's nothing like a little timely agi
tation to make the public-spirited citl
aen an improvement enthusiast. Port
land is one of the most beautifully
situated cities in. the country, and with
her new streets will "look bock!" to
the 1305 fair visitors. The extensive
building there denotes an era of sub
stantial prosperity that augurs well for
the entire state.
. Despite the unworthy efforts to ridi
cule the department, the fisheries
branch of the state government is
making excellent progress. The out
put of hatchery fish in Oregon this
year will be about 25,000,000, and from
this time forward will Increase yearly.
Those who have criticized Warden Van
Dusen for his failure to establish per
manent hatcheries have done so with
out cause, for the warden has ever
been actuated by a desire to determine
the best locations before putting the
state to an expense that would not re
suit in permanent benefit. The perpetu
The crown prince of Siam complains
that he was treated like a Japanese at
an eastern function given in his honor.
The first thing the crown prince knows,
some Jap will walk up and down his
frame.
