When a stock of this sire Is offered at special sole, ev erything open and nothing withheld, nnl prices way down to bedrock, It Is no wonder thut a run la made on the firm w hlch bids fair to clean them out of goods before the time la up. .Sen.itor Fulton hn opened head quarters In Portland and his friends from all over the state are gathering there dully to Assist the candidacy of the Astoria man. From all counties of the state come expressions to the effect that Mr, Fulton will be elected, and there no longer seems any ques tion that he wllfbc successful. W, L.

At the meeting held yesterday In Port land the salmon packers of the Co lumb'a river adopted the committee' report which Is a 50 percent Increaae of licenses and taxes Imposed on fisher men. The Idea Is to eliminate person al taxes as have been applied to bout pullers and seine worker and apply the Increase only to the captains of fish boat and the operators of seines. This will advance the license of the former to $5 and seine operators will pay 4 cents per foot. The revenue to bo de rived by this method Is expected to amount to $19,000 which will be devoted to hatchery purpoae The balance of the $25,000, estimated by Fish Warden Van Dusen to be necessary for the protec tion mid propagation of salmon, la ex pected to be furnished by the state. At least the state wll be asked to appropri ate $i000 to the purpose and It I ex pected will do so. The warden's recom mendation along some line are not accorded In by the packers. His sugges tion a to an Increased revenue meets with a hearty response. A dispatch from Washington states that bids for building $:I5,OOQ,000 worth of warships were opened at the navy department yesterday. The fatiture of the event was the submission of the proposition to supply the enormous horsepower required to dri'i the Ten nessee and Washington, the speediest ships of war the United States navy will have, with new trublne motors, the latter to be supplied by an Aniercan company. Another feature was the submission of the statement from one of the largest bidders to the effect I hut no les than 25,000 horsepower would lc required to drive the ships. v The high est bid submitted was by the Fore Riv er Bhlp and Engine Works, ijuliiey, Maw., one ship J4.578.O00 and the lowest Mas by Win.

Mr. Piper freely acknow ledges that he Is booming Scott for the senate. The frequent denial of as piration In that direction that have emanated from the tower, however, have ruined what little chance Scott might have had. It la said, and only a few democrats and followers of Jack Mat (lions are making themselves be lieve that the editor will go to Wash ington with senatorial credentials. Complaint ha been made at thla of fice thut an East Astoria milkman named Ben Ekoos has been selling milk during the prevalence of scarlet fever In his family. Six cases are reported In his hqine. An Aetorian man who yesterday made an Investigation learn ed from City Physician Cordlner that Ekoos had been selling milk In direct violation of nstnictlons given him by the health authorltlea. The disease was reported In his home six or seven days ago, and ut once he was ordered to dis continue his milk business. However, he managed to supply hla patron, and continued to do so until Monday night, when the authorltlea went after him. A special officer was detailed to watch him, and hi arrest will follow If he doe not obey Instructions. A visit to the neighborhood In which Ekooa lives furnishes ample reason for the preval ence of fever In that district.' Refuae from the barnyard I everywhere In evidence, and It la remarkable indeed that seaVlet fever haa not made Its'ap pearance before thl, That no provision was made by the council charter recommendations for the immediate calling In of warrants was due to the fact that the mutter can be regulated by ordinance. The city treasurer is out with a statement which hows that the amount of cash now on hand Is $23,300. It la the Intention to pass an ordinance which will provide that not more than $2500 shall be kept on hand. If an ordinance of this kind were now in effect the amount of cash on hand would be more than $20,000 les than the statement show It to be. City warrants bear 6 percent Interest, and the Interest on $20,000 I $1200 yearly, or $100 monthly an Item worth nvlng. City Attorney Smith, when questioned Inst evening, said an ordinance would probably be passed 6y the council af ter the work cf expertlng the book was finished. The proposed change In the charter requiring applicant for regl tratlon to produce a poll tax receipt does not meet with popular approval, and It 1 not at all certain that the leg islative delegation will favor It, Ob jection to the proposed change arise pecusi of th unsatisfactory poll tag law now In effect.

"If the regulations now In effect are adhered lo, the scarlet fever epidemic will be eff jctually wiped out," said City Physician Cordlner last evening. "No nev cases have been reported slnr Bunduy. and there are only 24 patient In the city at present. Utiles some of the children get ut and sprea.1 the disease, we will soon have ft uniler con trol. Indeed, new case will now be s surprise to me. With two special of' fl':er, the health department I enbl ed to put Its regulations Into effect and there should be no more cause for alarm. It Is my opfhlon that every poHlll4 precaution should be taken and that fathering of children should he prohibited at least for a fortnight. Another physician said yesterday that, were It not for the copious ratnfull and natural drainage of Astoria, this city would be ttt the mercy of the disease. Hi; pointed out that the filth In some quarters was enough to start epidemics of the most fatal diseases. It Is un derstond the health department will take steps to rlenh these disease-breed Ing spot within a short time. PERSONAL MENTION Hugh McCormlck wa In the city ye' terdny from Wise.

SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL. Necessity Is the surest promoter of Invention. The recent coal strike causing the price of coal to advance to almost beyond reach has resulted In the granting of over 4000 patents on midlines to burn either oil or gas. The necessity for a family medicine that could be relied on absolutely In cases of stomach, liver and kidney ailments led to the Introduction of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters 50 years ago. Today It Is world famed as a cure for loss of appetite, Insomnia, nervousness, flatu lency, Indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa tion and bllliousness. Try a bottle and be convinced of Its value. It contains nothing that will Injure the most deli cate system and is therefore specially adapted for restoring strength to those who have become Weak from long sick ness or those In need of a tonic. Don't accept a substitute. REMOVAL SALE. After.

LOUIH FA IK. LrgPM a Creditable Display of Timber in Letter to A. ?, JotinMon. . A. J. Johnxon, government forestry expert, is In receipt of a letter from Tarleton H. Bean, acting chief of the forestry department of the St. Louis fulr boird, urging that Oregon make a liberal forestry exhibit at the 1904 fair Mr. Johnion hopes to seeihe legista tun make the necessary appropriation believing it would do much to advertise the Lewis and Clark fair throughout the east. Mr. Sean's letter is as fol low: "In accordance with your letter, and at the suggestion of Mr. Bud worth, who has returned to Wash ington, I write you again on the subject of a worthy forestry ex Tiibit from the slate of Oregon. In order to give you a clearer. Idea of what we hope to do at St, Louis In 1904, I shall isend you un der separate cov.er some copies of the first circular of the forestry de partment. A new and fuller edi tion of this pamphlet will be Issued as soon as the plans of the build ing are available. I Inclose here with a brief synopsis oi forestry at expositions, containing the princi pal items which have been present ed at previous expositions. "I should be very glad to have your cooperation In making this the most notable forestry exhibit of the world. AVIth the great resources of your state and your knowledge of the subject, you can easily render us effective assistance. I trust your state will take up the matter actljly and promptly. I hope al so that the big manufacturers wlil be represented in a satisfactory manner. We have the sympathy of all the big associations in this re gion and hope to have a very gen eral participation In the contest for awards. We want to show forestry from the scientific as well as the commercial side, and If we all work In harmony we can accomplish good results." The display made by Oregon at prev Ions expositions have widely adver Used the great lumbering Industry of this state, and the St. Louis directors have been urging a liberal exhibit for MM. Mr. Johnson is of the opinion that the Lewis And Clark fair cannot be , properly advertised unless credit able exhibits are made at St. Louis, and, as timber would make the best showing and attract the most atten tion, he thinki Oregon should Bhow her trees. The list of awards for forestry dis plays shows that about 100 prises will be oKered. Every department ot scientific and commercial lumbering will be given on opportunity to secure an awara. ana air. jonnson exprcse the opinion that Oregon can capture just about half of the total prizes.
