THE city council voted down the or dinance to renea' that section of an old ordinance which Imposes a license on pool and billiard tables. The council vat eminently consistent In its atti tude. If the license Is to be abolished on one game that is part and parcel of the saloon keeper's business why not alwiish It on every game, including the dice box, slot rwch.nes and open gambling. It will be argued that the ' tity derives a large revenue from these sources, all of which Is true. If the elty has to continue to derive a reve- j line the larger that revenue the better Hut there are some citixens who claim that it is not absolutely necessary for the city to enrich itself at the expense of the public morals. THE city council adjourned on Mon day night to meet again next Monday the extra meeting being made necessary on account of the large amount of street work on hand. The council has outlined a good program of street Improvements. Extensive work on the streets and avenues, even at some small cost to the abutting property owners, Is greatly to be ap preciated, jyid the council cannot do better than continue to prosecute the improvement of every thoroughfare in the city. Let the the good work con tinue while the sun shines. : 4 A3 the time approaches for the re gntta. It might not be out of place to call the attention of the street superin tendent to the condition of the streets. The city should be dressed in appro priate raimsnt for the regattas and un k'BS the streets are clean the effect of the decorations will be marred. Enough revenue is derived from cer tain sources in the city to- provide a fund, should funds be lacking, for the purpose of keeping the city clean. THE probability that the portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte will be placed on tiime of th postage stamps issued to commemorate the centennial of the Louisiana annexation is bothering some Americans greatly. The stamps will be 1 cent, 2 cent.;, 5 cnt and 10 cents. 'Jefferson is to be on one series, though wh'ch ov" has not jet been !--lrmiiiel. McKineiy is likely to be or. sii'tther s?ri?s. il ' ..

Stimulate interest in the regatta by voting for a regatta queen. HAVE you voted for a'regatta queen candidate today? If not, why not? The United States life savlug service costs $1,700,000 per annum. Mining companies In the Vnited States last year paid 150,000,000 in div idends. Figures recently published in Chris tiana show that the amount of money sent home from the United States by emigrants from Norway last year was 3,:so,ooo. Sixty million barrels of keroslne were produced In the United States last year The proceeds from this and the bypro ducts obtained from petroleum are es timated at $300,000,000. The Porto Ricans are demonstrating their unfitness for self-government. Their government is out of debt, has a big surplus and proposes reducing taxation. That i. not after the manner of "civilized" and model governments. Porto Ricois antiquated. There was quite a roar when this government paid $7,200,000 for Alaska. It was dirt cheap at that. In less than one year $1072,45 of the products of Alaska found a market outsiile of thai territory. It is a rich country with its productive capacity practically unde veloped. British locomotive builders have made a new record for the Americans to beat. An English tn.in last week ran 249 '1-4 miles in five ti'jurs and fifty eight minuKs without stopping, the most .severe test it is possible to put a locomotive to. It nv.sins a speed of over fifty miles an hour, continously for s'x hours. Durining the fiscal year just closed 132,29 claims were allowed by the pen sion bureau and 113,720 rejected. The number of allowances exceed those of last year by 13.005. The number of re jections in 1902 was 11S.404. This was the first year under the administration tit Commissioner Ware. This is a great country but it almost bewilders one to contemplate the run ning expenses of the government. This year the actual governmental ex penses ivill be about six hundred and fifty- one millions of dollars, including one hundred and thirty-two millions for the postal service which is well nigh self sustaining. The Income, however, is sufficient to meet this enormous ex pense and leave a surplus of forty-three milions of dollars. The surplus last year being ninety-one millions of dol lars. The commissioner of the general land office at Washington has withdrawn from entry forty-four and one half townships In the Susan vile, California land district, and 990,000 acres of ad joining land In Oregon, the whole com prising the proposed Walker river for est reserve. The land will now be ex amined to determine its fitness for a forest reserve. No matter wh;it you do, provided you do it better than someone else could do the same thing, there's a wel come awaiting you in the world. It was Emerson, we 'believe, who said: "If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a bet ter mouse trap than his neighbor, though he build his house In the woods, the world will m,ake a beaten path to his door." Try to excel it's a laudable ambition. Dr. T. L. Ball DEST'ST 524 Commercial street, Astoria Or. C. J. Trenchard Insurance, Commission and Shipping.
