The death of John A. Devlin is public .calamity., Mr. .Devlin waaone of Astoria's most enterprising citlsens, and without ostentation or unnecessary display he had added his full share to th city's wellbelng. His death re moves one of our 'brightest and most capable business men.. Mr. Whipple is right. We should not pay any attention to the statement that the Union Pacific is going to u til Lie As toria harbor, but should go ahead with development of lumbering. We should do twice as much in 1903 as in 1902. and place no dependence on the announce ment that grain will soon be exported from this point. Our mills will do more for us than our shipping interests, and besides the results from them will be certain. Let us start off the new year by securing a few more mills, and then it the Harriman system wants to use our harbor aH well and good. In the meantime, we must help ourselves must cut out the hot air and get down to business. , Members of the city council, who seem anxious enough for the indorse ment of the labor unions when they are running for office, should bear In mind that The Astorian Is employing union labor throughout, and paying the high est wages, in proportion to the number of men employed, in the city." In order that union wages may be paid, it is necessary ior mis paper iu inarge liv ing rates fcr its work, and the council displays a total disregard for the Inter ests of the unions when It, declines to award the city printing- contract to the lowest bidder f f-U.. the, merchants and otler patrons of this newspaper took th same view of the matter as that en tertaine jus MmtaoB c&ttelL&ir employes would be receiving starvation wages. Ro long as the council refuses to award the printing contract on basis of the rates asked by this paper, Just so long will Its members be re garded as innincere in their frequent declarations that they are anxious over the welfare of the working man. The effort to beat down the legitimate prices asked is nothing more than a thrust at union wages, which cannot prevail at lower rates than those asked. The following fom the Butte Inter- Mountain Is pertinenyind timely. The last mentioned fakir, a Dr. DeAman- dus, opened up in Astoria last spring, bttt evidently failed ' to ' find suckers plentiful In this city, as he did not stay long. The article says: puce upen a time a man who knew human nature made the declaration that a sucker Is born every minute. No True American is ever satisfied except with the best. " The oldest is not always the best, and is seldom the strongest. In this case, how ever, the best is the oldest and strongest. .

Manager, Portland, Oregon. , '" K MM Then he embirked In business as a gold brick' operator and has been making mo-y ever slne av for temporary lapses when serv ing his country In Jail, The foundation of all swindling opera tions is the desire, Inherent In weak hu manity, to get something tor nothing. The wise man conquers this inclination; the tool has It with him always, and the. birth statistics Indicate, as set forth In the foregoing, that one comes Into the world every time the big hand on the clock movtw. Were It not for Jhls desire, swindlers would of necessity cease operations. "Rebel George Knowleon, the mast successful gold' brick operator since the days of "Ap petite Bill," owes his success to the fact that he Invariably mAkes his' victim be' lieve the operator to be Ignorant of the value of the brick or gilded nugget he is trying to sell. The victim, eager to cheat the poor, Ignorant old rancher or prospector for George masquerades in both roles buys the worthless goods and then declares himself swindled. The Humbert case is another In point. On the basis of an alleged fortune, sealed In a safe under order of the court, the Humberts borrowed s l Im mense sums, which greedy people were willing to lend. them on promise of fab ulous interest when the sate was open ed. And now . conies a story from Portland of two women who want re dress for having been , victims of a fraud the simplest, should have avoid ed. A fakir In the Oregon city con vinced them that be could charm a roll of bills Into a chest of gold. He said hU charm over $1028 worth of currency they committed to his charge, pretend' ed to put the money into a package in reality ho "planted" it Into his pocket and told them to bury the package until December 23, when they would find it transformed Into a box full of gold. When December 2J rol led around they dug up the package and found it contained only waste pa per. The charmer had fled. As old as the hills are all of these schemes. Just so long, however, as humanity yearns to acquire property for nothing. Just so long will they continue to be successful. Tis the "sucker" who makes a living for the gambling house proprietor and the professional confi dence operator. AN ELECTRIC FI.TER. An electric locomotive hus ;ust been constructed which It Is tUilmel will travel at the rate "of from 100 to 12J miles an hour. Prom this it would seem that there is no limit to speed possibilities, nor Is there any limit to the possibilities of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for surlng stomach, liver and kidney complaints. Its record of cures during the past 60 years proves this without a doubt, and also establishes Its superiority over all other remedies. When the system has become weak and run down either from sickness or neglect, you will find' a few doses of the bitters very beneficial. It will give yon new lite and energy, restore the appetite, purify the blood and cure flat- lenc, itealache, 'Indigestion and cys- pepsia. Try it., , . ,45 m.
