The people of the txwlil and Clark
valley uro not making much headway
In their efforta to secure a better road,
and the. dm cea for the success, of
their efforts are at present anything
but bright. Ilcently the county court
addressed a communication to the
'oinmittae named by the settlers to look
aflr their Interests, requesting that
tin planking which had been torn up
be replaced. The court suggested
that, after this aa-done, It would be
proper for the settler to petition the
court for relocation of the highway.
Yeaterday County Judge Trencbard re
ceived tt reply from the Committee In
which tht Information was contained
that the planking would not be replaced
and In which wis a demand that the
court order the work done. The conwl
munlcatlon did not aerve to strengthen
the tinsltlon of the settlers wth the
court, and until the people living In tne
valley aasumo a more reasonable atti
tude they will probably not receive any
assistance! ' The court does hot take
kindly to their' action In squandering
In lawsuits the fund provided for road
work.

Dean Meltea, ,a well known timber
man of Portland, who haa been vtattlng
In the drays harbor region, aaya the
sawmill m"n over there have the ad
vantage over thefr brethren In Port
land. "They only pay IS a thousand
for saw logj cn dray harbor," he aald.
"w hile the nill'i of Portland are com
pelled to pay ;u. This Is a sheer ad
vantage of $3 H-r thousand feet for a
alnrter. while the Gray harbor mills
have exavtly the same market for their
product (hat the mill of Portland have.
At the aame time (he timber lands are
valued mu'-h higher over there than In
Oregon, and they are bought and sold
now on the basis of $2 per thousand
stumpage for what timber they contain.
It will thua be seen that the logger
over there have to pay more for their
land than the logger of the Colum
bia river do, while they sell their log
for 5' percent lesa.' He think the
time Is coming when Oregon timber
Inn Is w ill change hand on the atump
nae basis instead of by the acre, aa
at present, and that the era of cheap
timber Inula haa already been pasaed
In the Webfoot statu.
In deference to the Judges of the
court of the Fifth Judicial district, com
prising the counties of Clacktma.
Clatsop. Washington and Columbia,
Represent alive Webster, of ClacKamns,
hua Introduced a bill In the house to
provide for (he payment In each divorce
rase of a fee of $10, to be known as the
district attorney' fee. the money to go
Into the treasuries of the respective
counties. Several years ago thia fee
was charged and a considerable reve
nue waa realln-d from It. A Portland
attorney, however, brought a teat case
In Astoria, and the supreme court com
pelled tho return of the fee, holding
the law- did not authorise the collection
of thia sum of money. In Multnomah
county, the Third district, the ice la
churged and the counties of th fifth
district want this revenue coming their
way. Oregon City, a popular place for
Portland couplea to dissolve their mar
riage bonds, will realise something like
$2100 a year If the bill becomes a law.
The section of importance In the bill Is
"It shall be the duty of the cleVas of
the circuit courts In tho various eoun
tie comprising the Fifth Judicial dis
trict of the state of Oregon to exact and
collect from the plaintiff In any divorce
suit, the sum of $10, at district attorney
fees; aald sum shall be paid by such
clerk to the county treasurer and snail
become a part of the general fund of
such county."
Hon. John Hahn returned last night
from Salem. He reported that his
boatpullera' bill had passed the house
without ft single dissenting vote. Mr.
Hahn addressed the house with refer
ence to the measure, and, while expres
sing autlafactlon that the bill Would
pass, aald he hoped there would be no
votes agulnst It. His hope wa real
ised, and the bill now goes to the sen-
ate. Mr. Hahn said he waa firmly of
the opinion that Senator Fulton would
be elected. He regarda the acquisition
of Representative Hawkins a moat Im
portant. Mr. Hahn said a prominent
member of the legislature euld yeater
day morning before the ballot was tak
en that Mr. Fulton needed only three
votes, and the Impression prevails gen
erally among those on the Inside that
the Astoria man will be elected on
Monday or Tuesday. "I have watched
the situation very closely," said Mr.
Hahn, "and cannot see how Mr, Ful
ton can be defeated. Of course, his
defeat Is not Impossible, but I am of
the opinion that it Is highly Improb
able. Tho men who are voting for
him are Intensely loyal, and there will
be no desartlons from his camp." Mr.
Hahn added that several Multnomah
men wanted to vote for Mr, Fulton,
but that they had not yet mustered up
the courage to do so. The Clatsop
representative I flown on a frying trip
and will return tonight,
''Member of the Multnomah dclega
tlon In the legislature created some
merriment yesterday In raatlng their
ballot. Mr, Hahn slated on nt return
last night. Two of the men who are
being voted for In a 'complimentary
way are Charles W, Hodson and Char.
le W. Nottingham. When their
friend- Cunk nnd Bailey rose to cai
their ballot, they pronounced "Charlea
W." In a alow manner, and about ev.
ery one present In the house thought
"Fulton" would follow. The little
Joke perpetrated by the Mujtiioinah
men created no end of amusement.

Sunday, May 17, w ill be a memorable
day In th hlatory of Astoria aerie of

President Laws and Joseph Grlbler re
turned from Salem, where they exacted
from the governor a solemn promise to
visit AstorU on the third Sunday In
May, which has Ven iet apart by th
grand lodge of Eagle as memorial day.
When the delegation of Astorians cal
led on (he govjrnor, he rtse smilingly
from his desk, and with both hands ex
tended, exclaimed:
"Weil, boys, how are you? And how
Is Astoria?"
"Astoria's like It always Is, governor"
replied Mr. Laws. "Everything is
booming, and we are out planning lo
add to the general activity."
'Rut. tell -ne, what brings you here?
I had hardly hoped for .this pleasaa!

"We are here an behalf of Astoria

toria generally to invite you to visit tne
city on the third Sunday In May Ea
glea" memorial day. We want you to
deliver the memorial address, and' we
are not going to take 'no' for an ans

The governor's face took on a seri
ous expression. "Now, I would i-e c
too glad to visit Astoria and make an
address on memorial day, but If I do
so It will jecome necessary for me to
accept similar Invitations from half tne
cities in the state. Yon know how those
matters are. Once a person make a

I have before stated about them In our
Cripple Creek papers. Some three
years ago I gave them to our little girl
who waa troubled with a weakness of
the kidneys. A few dose checked the
annoyance and a short continuation of
tho treatment cured her. She has had
very little trouble since, with the ex

cold; then there were symptoms of re

"You'll do nothing of the kind." came
In chorus from the three Astorians.
CVe have promi'wd the people of As
toria that you would visit them, and
wo can't go home unless you agree to
make the memorial address. We pur
pose camping right here until you say
'yea' "
The governor laughed heartily.
Weil,"' said he, "If that's the way you
feel about it, I'll come, If it's the last
official act of my executive career."
'Now, that's the way to talk!" said
Mr. Wise. "We are going to make
the memorial services notable, and I
am sure you will enjoy your visit." ;
And so the Astorians departed In a
happy frame of mind. ' They reached
Portland In time to Join the Relegation
that went up from Astoria to surprise
the Portland aerie at Its meeting. The
coming of the Astorians mid been
kept secret, and there waa an entnus
lastlc demonstration when they filed
Into the hall. Wben the committee of
three that had awaited On the governor
told of the success of their mission, the
Portlandar came to ihe conclusion thai
it would be a good plan to sen" down
an excursion for the memorial exercis
es, and a .pchl train Will be run. The
matter Is In the hands of a committee.
A prominent Eagle from Eugene who
was present said he would try and
make arrangements to send a carload
of lodgmen from his city, and the local
aerie will make extensive preparation
foe the event. It la probable other
lodges will alM send delegations to Astoria.

When the cold wave flag is tip, freezing weather id on the way. Winter
la here in earnest, and with it all the miserable symptotns.of Catarrh
return blinding headaches and neuralgia, thick mucous 'discharges
from the nose and throat, a hacking cough and pain in the chest, bad
taste in the mouth, fetid breath, nausea and all that makes Catarrh the
most sickening and discustinsr of all comnlalnt it feel in a of ner.
onal defilement and mortification that keeps one nervous and anxious while
ib ue company oi omers.
In spite of all efforts to prevent it,
the filthy secretions and mucous mat
ter find their way into the Stomach
and are distributed by the blood to
every nook and corner of the system;
the Stomach and Kidneys, in fact
every organ and part of the body, be
come infected with the catarrhal
poison. This disease is rarely, if ever,
even in its earliest stages, a purely local
disease or simple inflammation of the
sose and throat, and this is why sprays,
washes, powders and the various in
haling mixtures fail to cure. Heredity
is sometimes back of itparents have
it and so do their children.

septic and soothing washes are good for cleansing purposes or clearing the
head and throat, but this is the extent of their usefulness. To cure Catarrh
permanently, the blood must be purified and the system relieved of its load
of foul secretions, and the remedy to accomplish this is S. S. S. which haa
no equal as a blood purifier. It restores
the blood to a natural, healthy state and
the catarrhal poison and effete matter
are carried out of the system through the
proper channels. S. S. S. restores to the
blood all its good qualities, and when
rich, tmre blood reaches the inflamed
membrane and is carried through the circulation to all the Catarrh infected
portions of the body, they soon heal, the mucous discharges cease and the
patient is relieved of the most offensive and humiliating of all complaints.
8. S. S. is a vegetable remedy and contains nothing that could injure the
most delicate constitution. It cures Catarrh in its most aggravated forma,
and cases apparently incurable and hopeless. Write us if you have Catarrh,
and onr physicians will advise you without charge. - - c.
