River.
UNITED EFFORT
Congressman Williamson in an Inter
view published in Friday's Astorian,
puts himself to record as favoring an
open Columbia river, particularly the
mouth of the river. The Second dis
trict representative speaks out plainly
In opposition to further forest reserves,
in fact states that the Interior depart
ment has already gone too far In reser
vation business. The last withdraw-als-the
one in Northern Wallowa, the
one In Southwestern Oregon and the
one includig Southern Crook and North
ern Lake and Klamath. Sir. William
son thinks would better remain subject
to settlement The Eastern Oregon
Congressman also speaks unequiv
ocally concerning the duty of congress
and the Oregon delegation in the mat
ter of securing for the state some of the
first money to be expended In irrigation
projects, since under the law Oregon
has contributed the greatest propor
tional amount to the Irrigation fund.
There no doubt .re those who will dif
fer from the Second district representa
tive on his forest reserve policy, even
among the delegation. Mr. Williamson
admits that we have use for the Cas
cade reserve, while it la understood one
or two members are opposed to the re
serve policy altogether. In the mat
ter of securing for Oregon a liberal
appropriation for the reclamation of
arid land in Eastern Oregon, the dele
gation will no doubt act as a unit and
the people with the possible exception
of a few individuals who may be in
terested In getting control of the pub
lic domain under the Carey law, will
back them. What is of great import
ance to the Northwest is contained in
Mr. Williamson's statement to theeffect
that here is a tendency toward getting
together of the delegations of Oregon,
Washingon and Idaho, on matters per
taining to the northwest corner of the
Union. There is no good reason why
'the delegations from these three states
should not stand together as a unit up
on measures looking to the development
, of the Northwest, and especially any
measure having for its object the util
ization of the Columbia river and its
ributaries as means of commerce. C'on-
vcerted action on the part of delegations i
of different states is the strongest hope,
tparsely settled regions of the country
have. As againBt the immense inter
ests back "Of congressional delegations
from Pennsylvania, New York or Illi
nois, as represented by corporations
and trusts as well as individual wealth,
a western delegation representing a
constituency of only a half million to
.. two million people is fearfully handi
capped. The interests of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho are in a general way
identical and their relations naturally
friendly. Instead of the delegation
from Oregon, the delegation from Wash
ington, and the delegation from Idaho,
they should come to be known in con
gress as "he Northwest delegation.
"A reasonable amount of fleas is good
for a dog. It reminds him that he is
a dog," says a modern author. "Let
the baby cry," says a modern doctor,
"It is good for the baby." But every
flea scratched from a dog must be en
tertained by a human victim and every
squawl from the baby must be endured
by suffering neighbors.
Everybody may not have seen the
trained bear shown in Herman Wise's
regatta advertisement, but no one left
Astoria without a knowledge of Mr.
Wise's enterprise which they learend
through his original and business-like
method of advertising.

PUTS AN END TO IT ALL.
A grevlous wall sometimes comes as
a result of unbearable pain from over
taxed organs. Dizziness, backache,
liver complaint and constipation. But
thanks to Dr. King's New Life Pills
they put an end to it all. They are gen
tie but thorough. Try them. Only 25

- PROSPERITY
Every once in a while old settlers will
recite to us the difficulties they had in
disposing of their product and the ridic
ulously low prices they received for it
and for cattle, especially during Cleve
land's administration. Times and con
ditions have changed, so much so that
the dairymen In Tillamook never enjoy
ed auch an era of prosperity aa they are
today, and with the prospects that it
will continue. Is there a dairyman In
Tillamook county who is desirous of an
other dose of democratic hard timet?
so wonaer tnat Tillamook is over
whelmingly republican, for here is an
object lesson. Headlight.

And now as we again set sal for an
other milestone a little ways ahead, we

A MAN'S IDEAL
(By Ell Wheeler Wilcox.)
A lovely little keeper of the home,
Absorbed In menu books, yet erudite
when i need council; quick at repartee
And alow to anger. Modest as a flower,
Tet sclntillant and radiant aa a star.
I'nmerrenary in her mould of mind,
White opulent and dainty in her tastes
A nature generous and free, albeit
The incarnation of economy.
she must be chaste as proud Plana was
Tet warm as Venus. To all others cold
As some white glacier glittering in the
Sun; to me aa ardent aa the sensuous
Rose that yields its sweetness to the
Burrowing bee. AH Ignorant of evil
In the world, and Innocent as any
Cloistered nun, yet wise as Phryne In
The arts of love when I come thirsting
To her nectared lips. Good as the best,
And tempting aa the worst, a saint, a
Siren, and a paradox.

hronic Sores
Eating Ulcers, Wyss
Nothing is a souree of no mueh trouble as an old sore or ulcer, particu
larly when located upon the lower extremities where the circulation is weak
and alugrgiah. A gangrenous eating ulcer upon the leg is a frightful sight,
and as the poison burrows deeper and deeper iuto the tissue beneath and the
aore continues to spread, one can Almost ace the flesh melting away and feel
the strength going out with the sickening discharges. Great running sore
and deep offensive ulcers often develop from a simple boil, swollen giant
bruise or puuple, and ore a threatening danger always, because, while a
auch sores are not cancerous, a great many are, and thia should make yo
auspicious of all chronic, slow-healing ulcers and sores, particularly if cm
cer runs in your family. Face sores are common and cause the great
annoyance because they ore so ner-
slstent and unsightly and detract so
mucn train one s personal appearance.
Middle aged and old people and
those whose blood is contaminated and
tainted with the germs and poison of
malaria or some previous sickness, are
the chid sufferers from chronic sores
and ulcers. While the blood remains rn
an unhealthy, polluted condition heal
ing is impossible, and the sore will
continue to grow and spread in spite of
washes and salves or any superficial or
surface treatment, for the sore is but
the outward sign of some constitu
tional disorder, a bad condition of
the blood ,and system which local
remedies cannot cure. A blood purifier
and tonic is what you need. Some
thing to cleanse the blood, restore its lost properties, quicken the circula
tion and invigorate the constitution, and 8. S. S. is just snch a remedy.
S. S. S. reaches these old chronic sores through the blood. It goes to
the very root of the trouble and counteracts and removes from the blood all
the impurities and poisons, and gradually builds up the entire system and
strengthens the sluggish circulation, ana when the blood has been purified
