EXTENDED FISHING SEASON The proposal for extension of the salmon fishing season is one that will require serious thought. Certain it is that the full benefits of artificial prop agation are not now being realised, for the reason that the Ashing season clos es just at that tin? when fish are most plentiful. It is lamentable that the run of hatchery salmon does not ' materialize until near .the season's end. but the condition exists and must be . contended with. Extension of the season for two weeks would add greatly to the output of salmon, and operate to the benefit of canners and fishermen alike; but it is not clear that the market would not suffer to a corresponding extent. At the end of the season closing August IS of the present year the fish were of excellent quality, and an additional 100,000 case might have been packed without hurting the high standing of the spring product .of the Columbia river. But, were It to become generally known that late fish were being packed, the price of the canned article might be seriously affected, that of the early .months as well as that of the' late months. . , . The present high standing of Co lumbia river chinook salmon is due to the excellence of the article canned, find any plan calculated in any way to affect the reputation of Astoria's principal product ought to be frowned down. Brokers and consumers would Jump at an opportunity to beat down the vrlce of chinook salmon, which even no s must, in a meastfre, come In vompetition with the cheaper grades of - flsh packed on Puget sound and in Alaska. - ? ' ... Perhaps there is some merit In the plan for extension of the season, but It is a proposal that must be handled with great care. Meantime the fisher ies department of Oregon should use every effort to restore the early runs. that It may not be necessary to ex lena me season beyond the present limit. . The Tacoma Ledger takes Issue with those who assert tfcit dysp?psia is the national disease. It coincides with the view that nervousness is the great n&- tional ailment, and suggests that we Americans should spend more of our time in bed. Says the Ledger: "Often the assertion is mpda that dyspepsia is the national disease. This has the distlncton not to be true. Dys pepsia is so far from being the national disease, that the average American will eat what Is set before him at any time of day or night, and suffer no particular inconvenience from it. At least, if he does suffer, he has troubles so much greater that he does not complain about indigestion. The suggestion is made in a medical magazine that nervous pros tration is the national disease Of America, and really there does seem to be some sense to this. Added to this suggestion is one that the tired man take plenty of sleep, from ten to twelve hours being mentioned as the proper amount. Benjamin Franklin, a wise person, who wrote much and practiced a few of his own precepts, said of and tonic on the There is hardly a man, lias not heard of "S, S, S. for the blood." It is a standard remedy, a specific for all blood troubles and unequalled as a general tonic and appetizer, S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, the herbs and roots of which it 3 composed are selected for their alterative and tonic prop erties, making it tiie ideal remedy lor all blood and skin diseases, as it not only purifies, enriche3 and invigor ates the blood, but at the same time tones tip the tired nerves and gives strength and vigor to the entire system. ' For Chronic Sores and Ulcers, Catarrh, Rheumatism, Blood Poison, Malaria, Anxuiia, Scrofula, Eczema, Psoriasis, Salt Rheuin, Tetter, Acne a nd sucli other diseases as are due to a polluted or impoverished condition of the blood, nothing acts so promptly r.ud effectually as S. S. S. It counteracts and eradicates the germs en poisons; cleanses the system of all unhealthy accumulations and soon restores the patient to health. Write u9 and our physicians will give your case prompt attention without charge. . YH SWIFT CPEClFiC CO., ATLANTA, GAm For 1I climates; hett, cold, rain, gases, fumei end fire do not affect it.

There is about this all the aspect of acumen Nevertheless six hours is too short i period of sleep for any man who tolls It does not give to body or mind the chance to recuperate. Sleep is the only opportunity for complete rest. If a man can sleep, he has a fair chance to carry on his part of the battle, and if he can extend the hours of sleep from the absurd and inadequate period mentioned by Franklin to a sane and sufficient period, his chances of acconv pllshlng his allotted work will be aug mented. The trouble with the Ameri can people is that they do not take rest enough, and there is no other form of rest so nearly perfect as that afforded by sleep." The Ledger seemingly overlooks the great fart that dyspepsia is respons ible for much of our nervousness and that our woes are largely due to our disordered stomachs. Primarily our fault rests with our irregular eating habits, though it Is quite clear that loss of sleep operates to our national disad vantage. CURRENCY LEGISLATION Frequent reports come which tend to Indicate an early clash between the great railroad interests of the country. xm uouia system nas now in con templation two new moves, one involv ing the construction of a line with an outlet at Coos bay and the other ter minating at San Francisco. The Coos bay project is calculated to wrest ori ental traffic from Portland and Seattle. Where there is so "much smoke there must also be some fire, and it is evident that the competing interests will soon clash. The fight can come none too soon to suit Astoria. Only an open rupture will relieve the local situation, for, so long as the railroads act harmo niously. Just so long will the very cheapest port on the Pacific coast re main bottled up. Utilization of Astoria harbor would give the line terminating here so great an advantage over its competitors that they would be practic ally shut out of that great oriental traffic for which untold millions are contending. Only a struggle will force use of Astoria harbor, and it' can come none too quickly for the interests of this section. According to the New York Financial Ag? the new financial measure which it is stated was agreed on at a recent conference of republican senators ap pears to be a simple one, which, never theless, it is believed will remedy the faults of the present system. It is proposed to authorize the issuance of additional currency by national banks. up to 25 per cent, of the amount of their capital. On this the government would place a tax of, say 5 per cent per annum. Because of this tax, banks would only call for the additional currency in times of greatest stringency That Is, interest on loans would have to be higher than 5 per cent to Induce a bank to go to the expense of issu Ing additional currency. The Instant interest rates dropped below 6 per cent this currency would retire automatic' ally. The maximum amount of addit ional currency that would be made The best known and most popular blood purifici market to-day is S. S.

Is unquestionably a good blood purifier, and the best tonlo I ver utd. available under the plan would be 1200.000,000, as the sum is 25 per cut of the aggregate capitalisation of the national banks of the country. The sum, it Is believed, would meet any emergency that might arise under any financial contingency. Bank availing themselves of this additional circula tion would not be required to put up any additional security for the same. The sx-urity for these notes, which Is conslderd ample, would be, first, the bank Itself; second, the fund created In the treasury of the United States by the accumulation of the S per cent tax. Experts say this In Itself would be more than ample as an insurance against the failure of any national bank having this additional currency in cir culation. The fact that this measure was prenared by senators who are re garded as being In perfect accord with the administration and who are the recognised leaders of republican senti ment In cougress Is sufficient assurance that the proposed currency legislation will be accepted as a party measure.

Whether we stand In a "forest primeval"surrounded by hoary giants and the universal quietude; or whether we pass through the vast, bleak desert, we are conscious of the grandeur of God's handiwork. Perhaps the moaning sound of the waves rolling on the shore, touches our Innermost feelings more than any of the other great voices of nature. In whatever mood we find ourselves, we may recognise a sympathetic chord In the music of the waves. Are we des pondent, we hear a. low, sad undertone calling from the deep, producing upon us a peculiar quiet rest. Are we Joyful and happy, and filled with bright fore bodings of the future, we are aroused to action by the vigorous roaring of the tolling, never resting wpves. There Is a mutual reflection of sympathy be tween the feelings of the human heart and the sounds of the rolling waves. By living In close communion with nature In all her phases, we. ourselves, shall gradually partake of more and more of her greatness and grandeur. Ridsiau. A French syndicate has Just obtained the permission of Spain and Morocco after long negotiations to construct the great submarine tube under the Strait of Gibraltar, which project was . the scheme of the famous Paris englnuer M. Jean Berller. The difficulties to be overcome were not so much geograph ical obstacles, as the task of inducing the government of Morocco to give Its consent to the undertaking. It Is sjiid that the English sought to Influence the sultan of Morocco against the scheme, but French diplomacy at last prevailed and his consent was obtained. A writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The French syndicate has Is sued bonds to the amount of 123.000,000 francs, the estimated cost of the tun nel, and 119.000S00 francs for the new Morocco railway, to extend from the mouth of the tunnel. The latter will be about 18 miles long and rutv, from Tarifa to Tanglers. It is pre dicted that France by this enterprise will gain great prestige In Morocco and will cripple England's power, so long maintained by Gibraltar." A stranee story is reported from Oac- oma, S. D., by the correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. This correspond ent says that immediatly preceding a heavy shower, nearly every kitten ls than six months old in the vicinity died j apparently from the eff:cts of some i gaseous matter in the air. A bunch of ' 18 cattle was seen coming from the flats when eight of them fell to the ground. A farmer living near by ran out to them and found six of the eight alread dead. John Morris, a stockman living on White river, reports the loss of six head in the same way. It is generally believed that the copious rains which have fallen since have neutralized whatever poison to animal lift, rrtav hava hPAn In th nir T u'flft I a phenomenon heretofore unknown there.

THOS. LINVILLE, Sheriff of Clatsop County, Oregon RULED OFF FOR WINNING Far Fetched Charges Against Am erican Horseman St. Petersburg, Saturday, August 28 (Correspondence of the Associated Tress). John Oliver Keene of Lexing ton, Ky trainer for the racing stable 6f M. I. Laiary,who has been sus pended for a year dating from August 20 for the alleged use of some unknown drug, hns won TS races with this stable and over $100,000 during the last four or five months. Keene and his Mend say that It la the only reason "for the ruling against him. Keene whs trainer tiwt 'ar for H.wy de IlUvh, the millionaire of Warsaw, and won UUV0 with a single horse, named Sirdar. He has already exceeded this, though the season Is not yet over, with M. l,ary's Irish Lad. a horse which Iv's won J5,500 and now holds all thr-e-yoar-old records for Itugsia. The success of the stables handled by Keene has ben the sensational talk of Russian sporting circles for a yer or more, and he has been accusal of ruin Ing horse racing In this country, since everybody bet on his entries. When the present season opened Keene select ed Irish Lad. a three-year-old sired by Galtee Moro. an English horse pro cured at a groat expense by the Inv perlal stud, for the racing events, and Irish Lad won the Moscow and War saw Derbys,besides other valuable pris est Keene's success was attributed by the leading sporting Journal of St. Pet ersburg to wise training and good rid ing. The rival stables however, were unwilling to acknowledge that Keene rad won by superior training alone and had for months been trying to prove a cose of "doping" agaiust him and eventually procured Keene's supension for a year. A detective one day watched the Lazary hors. for eight hours at War saw. On the day referred to they won four out of live races In which they were entered and the fifth race , was only lost by a head. At Moscow an order was issued re quiring all entries to stand In the pad dock four -hours before every race. The Lazary horses, notwithstanding this, still won, and the order was event ually abandoned, because all the own ers prot?st against jt as being cruelty to animals. When the St. Petersburg season open ed the technical commute? of the rac ing club began colectlng foam from the Lazary horses' mouths at the end of each race. They gathered It on cotton and put It In bottles. It was afterward examined by a chemist named Perl, who claimed to find traces In it of some form of morphine. Keene was summoned before the board of stewards and he swore that he had em ployed no chemicals. Two stable boys claimed they had seen Keene give some medicine to one or two horses, and that De Bloch wrote a letter stating that he had discharged Keene for "doping." Keene did not deny that he had doc tored the horses when they were sick and demanded that he be confronted by M. De Bloch, but the board of stewards denied this request. It is claimed for Keptie that, "admit ting the honesty of the tests, a trace of morphine might be due to the use of a certain leg wash composed of a small amount of laudanum, spirit extract of arnica, saltpeter and susar of lead dls solved in a large body of alcohol." It is asserted Hint quantities of this mix ture are frequently employed with quart of water and that no objection has been made to this lg wash by the racing authorities. Ke?ne will appeal to the Grand Duke Dlmltri Constanlovlch, who Is a pro tector of Russian racing. FRAEL & COOK R4.N5FER COMPANY. Telephone Kl.
