NINTH ANNUAL REOATTA
Only five more days, and the regatta
will be on. Preparations at this a'age
re well under wav. The committee in
charge has been industrious. It has no
complaint to make of a lack of coopera
tion. There remains of course consider
able to do yet and united effort un
til the event is over assures the
most enooessful regatta ever held on
Columbia's waters.
Features have been provided never in
eluded iu the program before. Local
people have for the firut time entered the
racing contests. Full crews will be here
from Victoria and Vancouver, B. C. and
. three crews will start from San Fran.

been secured and visiting queens will at

the Willamette valley points have been

nival. Portland has had her confetti
throwiogcaraival, wherejtbe crowds have
seen the girls ride the camels, the snake
eating man, the three toed boree, double
headed calf, three legged lamb, the wooly
head of a negro poked through a hole in
a canvas inviting the white brethren to
satisfy their race prejudice at five cents
per throw. Some such street attractions
will be seen here, but it is the aquatic
sports people from beyond the mount,
ains are coming to see and it is that part
of Astoria's program that will excel.
The reports from outside are that great
crowds are looking forward with rosy
anticipations to tue regatta.. The name
"Astoria" is a synonym for good time
about regatta time and the prospects are
they will not be disappointed. They
should not.
Distinguished personages have been
invited and they will come in their best
bib and tucker, with the assurance that
all is ready for their reception, and now
is the time for earnest preparation.
THE frequency of suicides, as report
ed through the press, suggests the ad
visiubliity of more rigorous precaut
ions in the "ale of poisonous drugs.
There are other methods of self-destruction
than by the taking of poison
but the tendency of suiclde3 seeifis to

society needs protection against these
not uncommon oceurances. Most Mutes
recognise the advisability of checking
this custom and have endeavored to
throw the strong arm of the law
around this class of mankind by enact
ing laws regulating the handling of
poisons.
The Oregon law provides: 1
"No person shall give away or sell
opium, morphine, eng-she or cooked
opium, hydrate of chloral, or cocaine,
except to those who present a pres
cription for the same from a physician
or a regular qualified pharmacist; and
the party selling shall deliver only the
quantity and kind named in the pres

prescription, and keep it open for pub

THANKS
The new owners of the Astorian as
sumed control of its columns yesterday.
Tiie Daily News extends congratula
tions. The change is beneficial. It puts
newspaper men 'n charge where chaos
reigned. The new owners say their in
vestment was based on faith inAstoria's
future. One of them Is in a positfon.by
previous affiliations to facilitate that
destiny and at the same time build up a
great Columbia Basin paper. It Is to
be hoped the Astorian, in its new phase
will cultivate the influence of the In
land Empire. It is a prime factor in
Astoria's high destiny. Shipping its
grain from this port means everything
to that region, to Portland, to Astoria
and the entir-; Basin.
The Daily News welcomes Messrs.
Patterson and Lyon to the Astoria field
of journalism. Their accession is a
gain for the city. Astoria Daily News.

SO SOOTHING.
Its Influence Haa Been Felt
By So
Many Astoria Readers.
The soothing influence of relief
After suffering from itching piles
From eczema or any Itchiness of the
skin
Makes one feel grateful to the remedy
Down's ointment has soothed hund-
reds
Here's w hat one man says
R. B. Long, harness maker, employ
ed with John Clark ft Son, 104 Front
street, Portland, who resides at 348 Sec
ond street, same city, says: "Early laet
summer I broke out all over with body
eczema tetter or itch. I did not know
Just what it -was nor what caused its
appearance, but I do know that the tor
ture I endured waa something fierce
I wraa very much alarmed about It, was
anxious wo know what it was and what
caused It. I thought the best thing to
do was to go to a doctor for treatment.
I did so and was treated by different
ones but they failed to do me any good
When I became the least bit overheat
ed I just fairly clawed the skin off me.
Anyone who baa never had anything
of the kind knows nothing at all about
it. I wss in bad shape when I noticed
an advertisement in our paper about
Doan's Ointment being a sure cure for
such afflictions. I said to myself:
'there' another fake, but I'll try it.'
It proved to be all that is etaimed for
it. Less than two boxes made a com
plete cure in my case. About this time
my younger brother was taken with
the same affliction. A box and a half
of Doan's Ointment cured him. Iknow
what I am talking about when I say
that Doan's Ointment is one remedy
which can be depended upon."
Plenty more proof like this from As
toria people. Call at the drug store of
Charles Rogers and ask what his cus
tomers report. For sale by all dealers.
