Keep yonr eye on 'Astoria. ' - ' - ! ACADEMICAL HONORS. A Harvard professor recently took oc c&sion to express himself in a most un complimentary manner regarding the Ph. D. degree. According to his opin ion, a degree of this kind is frequently . u-Arth the moer on which it is written. Many of thp se doctors of phil aeophy,' we are told, are genuine ignor amf and absolutely unfit to teach other. ' Something like this has been suspected all along. The various degrees confer red by coneys ana universities r held In preposterously : high - esteem. They are respected and worshiped as veritable fetishes. The assumption is still too common that the person who AW obtained a degree must needs be looked up to as an altogether superior person, that mere learning is, by all odds, better than experience, or indi vidual thought. There Is a larger num fcer of "scholars:1 turned loose every year who are plteously ignorant of rud imentary things and conditions. - A college degree or diploma is all right, as far as It goes, but it alone does not warrant claims of superiority or amount to a guarantee of success. It muBt be supplemented by selfeducatlon and that invaluable knowledge which ai be derived only from actuallcon tact with the world and our fellow men. The college and university are prelim inary, or" training .schools, and nothing ; e'se. , and degrees are merely evidences catakm Catarrh begins with a stubborn cold in the head, inflammation tr sore ness of the membrane or Jiningof the nose, discharge of mucus matter, headaches, neuralgia and difficult breathing, and even in this early stage is almost intolerable.

As Its wry name Imptfci. It is merely a degree.; Education is a thing highly hi be prlied, but it must not be held to be more than' it is. It must not be made Superior to individual effort and talent. It Is the man that counts, not the mere degree, or superficial scholarly attain ment. .- The best education is that which enables the young man to play his part well in a world which values demonstrated fitness more U thing else. I UNF VRODNABLE WASTE ' Forest fires entail a tremendous na tional waste every year. Oregon's re cent loss from this source isj fresh In the minds of her citizens. Only a tew weeks ago forest fires were raging al most throughout New England, and there, tooj destroyed -millions of feet of valuable timber. ' This wrt of general annual calamity could certainly be prevented by the adoption of proper precautionary meas urea. There is no excuse tor such an appalling waste ot natural resources. The "preservation of our forests Is al ready a burning question of prime im portance. It is as vital a matter as ir rigation. The wholesale destruction of timber has gone on long enough. ' It is time' to atop it. and stop It tor eer. Such destructive forest Ore as cur country is afflicted with, are utterly unknown In the well governed coun tries of Europe. An efficient forestry establishment would certainly prevent their frequent recurrence. ( HATCHERY OPERATIONS. "We are building a dam at the mouth of Dakota creek," said Fish Com mlssioner Kershaw to a Falrhaven Herald reporter, "as a preliminary to the establishment of an experimental fish hatchery on that creek. A small hatchery wil be built eight miles above the dam. It will not be very ex tensive at the start as it Is only an ex periment and we do not intend to spend very much money until we know the re sult. "We are doubling the capacity of the hatcheries at Kalama, Wind River and Chinook. We are also putting in an eyeing station at Sultan for the pur pose of propagating steelhead and Chinook salmon. What money we spend will be spent for the purpose of propagating the best fish. '' "Last year the total output of all the hatcheries in the state was 84,000,000 and with the Improved facilities this year we expect to turn out an addition al aio00,000, or a total of about 110,000, 000." ; : , : When asked as to the proportionate number of the output of the hatcheries that reached maturity. Fish Commis sioner Kershaw replied: "No accurate estimate can be formed, but let me il lustrate? In 189S there were 8000 fish marked at the Kalama hatchery and turned into the water. Out of this number there were 400 of these mark ed fish caught in 1901. In 190 there were a large number caught." Speaking of the fish exhibit at" the St. Louis exhibition the commissioner said: "We expect to go ahead and do the best we possibly can v-ith the amount at our disposal for such an exhibit. We have a good display any way." It is rather dispiriting to see the peo ple of this country persist In -he happy-go-lucky ways of looking at and treating their great national resources. A growing accentuation of unfavorable changes in climatic conditions and the increasing frequency of disastrous floods, should certainly suffice to con vince the American people that a care ful protection and husbandry of the country's national wealth are not only desirable, but imperatively called for.

An eastern man has a proposition for conferlng a benellt on the fisheries or the Columbia river by putting In a40. 000 fertilising plant to operate on tarp and shad exclusively. These species are about the most plentiful and use leys fish that navigate the big water way, and not only detrimental to the salmon fisheries, but we have been in formed that during the high-water the carp ruin pasturage prospects by eat ing the grass off the river valleys.
