NINTH ANNUAL REGATTA
Astoria's annual regatta opens at
o'clock this morning. No previous re
gatta -ever opened under more auspic
ious circumstance. The weather prom
ises perfection. The best racing crews
ever assembled to the Northwest are
here. Visiting carnival queens in trl
umphial robes, are here from the inte
rior. Dignitaries from civil anr mili
tary life are present. A part of the
North Pacific naval squadron, under
Commander Perkins, lies in the-harbor
and officers and men will participate
in the festivities. The committee has
provided an excellent program. A large
crowd is already on the ground and
every train and every boat brings more
people. The queen. In a'l her lovllness,
and the richest robes ever dlsplayd in
the Northwest, is in readiness for cor
onation and will do honor to the oc
casion. The remainder of the week
should be a gala season in the city
founded by John Jacob Astor. Its a
time to put away care and breathe the
spirit of the occasion. Its a season to
revel In the atmosphere of recreation
and sociability. .Its time to look
pleasant and be pleasant letting the
contagion of good cheer take hold of
others. Everybody will be better for
a week of relaxation spent in whole
some amusement. ' It will put red cor
puscles in the blood, elasticity in the
gait and buoyancy In the soul. It will
banish gloom, drive away despondency
and sweeten the disposition. The re
gatta opens today and here's to a good
time for everybody.

Speaking of the Ute Cassius M. Clay
an eastern newspaper says that "for
more than tweny years he was the only
man south of the Ohio river who en
Joyed absolute freedom of speech." The
reason of this, however, was that there
was no othr man south of the Ohio,
during those twenty years, who was
able to abridge Gen. Clay's 'iberty of
speech, no matter-how muci he de
aired to do so. Several were u fortun

The Trans-Mississippi Commercial
Congress in session at Seattle have a
big question to deal with In the timber
interests of the country. There Is sure
to be a clash of opinion between del
egates from the deforested states of
the east and those of the coast, living
In forests of virgin timber. Govern
ment surveys show Oregon has 231,000,
000,000 feet of standing- timber and
Washington 118,000,000,000. Other esti
mates gives Oregon SI $.000, 000,000 and
Washington 150,000,000,000 making a to
tal of 49S,0OO,0O0,0O0. The total accord
ing to government estimate Is S49.000,
000,000. Allowing one half of the larg
er estimate as capable of being convert
ed Into lumber, and Oregon' share Is
159,000,000,000; Washington's 90,000,000,
(00; total :49.O0O,0OO,0O0. How long It
will last at the rate it Is now being
cut Is a fruitful topic. There will
be delegates In the convention to con
tend that the northwest's wealth of tim
ber Is practically Inexhaustible, and
that speculation on probable exhaus
tion is useless. There will be others
-aith figures to show in Just how many
years hence the western forests will
be a denuded waste. It is estimated that
Washington now saws annually 2,000,
000,000 and Oregon 1,000,000,000 feet. At
that rate It will be just S3 years until
the present supply of timber is exhaust
ed, not reckoning the young growth
that will come Into marked nor the In
creasing rate of consumption of lum
ber. The lovers of the fragrant weed as
well as the users of tobacco In other
forms will find satisfaction In the con
clusions drawn by the Edinburgh Scots
man. which has been investigating the
"tobacco habit" from a medical and
scientific point of view.
Aftfr reviewing the evidence pro and
on it concludes that the temperate
w of the fragrant weed in th form
rf a good cigar or pipe is not injuri
ua to the average man. Intemperance
iii ihe use of tobacco is undoubtedly
tirmful. The reason why cigarette
':king is worse than either the cigar
or the pipe is that "th smoker almost
universally inhales the tobacco fumes,
ar.d, becoming habituated to this quick
toxic action,' be will not smoke with
out inhaling, for th safrws reason that
the morphine habitq-, accustomed to
thj hypodermic rr.r?hvl, will not be
satisfied with th 'ln'4 through the
mouth. iVnh vktirrs waunt quick
action."

IRISH PROSPECTS
The Irish land bill If Bnnlly enactevl,
Is promising of better times for the
RnK'rald Isle.
John B. Redmond, one of the fore
most of the Irish nationalists, says of
the bill: "If It works, and It Is confi
dently hoped It will, there Is no ques
tion but that it will effect a revolution j
In the condition of Ireland." j
The Buffalo Courier, In commenting
ypon the measure, rightly declares that j
the ract that "tha bill has expeditiously
gone through the traditionally conser
vative House of Lords, In which many
large Irish land holders have seats. Is
an enlivening demonstration that the
world moves. The same body strenu
ously antagonised and defeated Mr.
Gladstone's efforts in aid of the un
happy Island. Now the spectacle has i
been witnessed of a measure more lib
eral than any proposed, introduced by
a government composed of Conserva
tive and Liberal Unionists, and passed
with tha prompt assistance of peers
formerly irreconcilable to any advanced
policy of Irish administration. But the
lords have learned the value of dis
cretion, and no longer dare hold public
opinion in contempt."
Verily the world doea move most po
tently, as Is evidenced by the revolution
of feeling manifested in the House of
Lords regarding the plain duty of the
British government towards Ireland.
