By LYON 4 PATTERSON The' Astorian guarantees to tta ad vertisers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia River. . , EASTERN COMMENT ON FISH The Fishing Gaaette says:"Bed Alas ka is cleaning up on spots at from I1.17H to $1.20. borne are holding out anywhere up to $1.28. A price on fu tures has not as yet been made by controlling interests. It will be an nounced through these columns as soon as declared. We may add to this that the popular hope of 1.10 Is doomed already. The market for Alaska king fish has naturally strengthened, but large holders on the coast report stocks exhausted. We therefore find medium red Alaska the most attractive fish at prices quoted, and we doubt if any sales could be confirmed below SS cents f . o b. New York. It ta now definitely known that the red Alaska pack la shorter than expected. The extraor dinary shortage In sockeye salmon has influenced the Columbia river fish, and ns chinooks are now offering at lower Quotations than sockeyes, buyers are being attracted to this product also. "An estimate of the total pack 1903 salmon at three millions and a quarter cases would seem to be considerably in flated from the fact that credit is giv en to Alaska for production of nearly two-thirds of the entire pack. This can hardly be credited, but nevertheless it Is sutmised than on this season's pack the estimate Is very nearly correct" The Seattle Trade Register says of salmon: . "Not only is the sockeye pack A failure, but the loss wiU be a serious one to the packers to the matter of Chinese guarantees, which amounted to Just a little less than 900,000 cases. It is needless ta point out what this means The fact is that packers cannot afford to sen at less than $1.25 to $1.35, if not higher, and those buyers who have been holding off to 'nil orders will be strictly up against it. Those who have placed orders subject to approval will find that the United Kingdom will pay high to get sockeyes, as the Fraser river pack is short. To put it short, pjilmon will be salmon this year and no mistake, and buyers may confidently figure on the market being kept pol ished bare, because new markets will demand more as well as those already developed.and as an article of food sal mon will have good cafl compared with other meats, which promise to rule high." Through its Associated Press service The Astorian Is enabled to give to its readers today the speech in full de livered by President Roosevelt at Syra cuse, New York, yesterday. The ad dress is not an effort toward literary perfection. It was delivered upon the orcaslon of Labor Day observance and will be read with Interest by the multi tudes that took part in the celebration yesterday of this national holiday. The speech sets forth the president's attitude toward capital and labor; ex presses his opinion on wealth and pov erty; defines his ideas of good citizen ship; bears his compliments to mother hood and to the G.

The Oregonian figures out the wheat crop of Oregon.

By a recent ruling of the postofflee department each rural mail carrier in the United States will be required to Lake a careful census of his route and copy the names in a book provided for the purpose. Slips are prepared for the carriers and these will be left with the families to be filled out, each slip to contain the names of all parties receiving mail at the house, even the servants. In this manner the name of every person along the routes wiU be before the postmaster and he win have no trouble forwarding mail. Married ladies will be designated by their own names instead of those of their hus bands. ' It Is reported from Salem that Farm er James of the Oregon State Peni tentiary has rented a fine farm near the Capital City for a term of four years. The superintendent should wait to see if enough convicts will stay with him to till the land before leasing for so long a term. How foolish of the escaped California convicts to go over Into the state of Ne vada. If they wish to retain their free dom they must stay in their own etate. There are a few .of the old cast-oft politicians who have not been quarter ed on the Lewis and Clark exposition but they have left the state. Salem Journal.

There are 9.64S.165 depositors who have accounts with the postal and pri vate savings banks of England. Their accumulations amount to $970,070,048. In the state of New York nlonf, there are 1.5H1S01 depositors of this same class and their credits amount to 11,077, 330,000. Surely it isn't difficult to tell which is really the most prosperous people. ' , Mrs. Leslie M. Shaw, wife of secre tary of the treasury, has always been noted for her wit. It is said of hw that young man of humorous bent one day exclaimed in her presence "What could be more dreadful for a wife after mending her husband's coat to find in one of the pockets a love letter from another woman V "Fortun at.ly," said Mrs. Shaw, "that could never happen. The woman would find the tetter first and then she would not mend the coat." Waldon Fawcett describes in the September St. Nicholas the success of a savings bank experiment tried by a Washington, D. C, public school, a success which is likely to set other schools experimenting along the same lines. This school saving-bank is con ducted in every way Just like a real bank. The principal makes himself responsible for the safekeeping of the funds and at the close of each day's business deposits the dally receipts in one of the city's ordinary commercial banking institutions. Pupils are tel lers and bookkeepers, doing all the work Involved, and the children's pen nl?s foot up already to the amount of two hundred dollars. A Philadelphia judge was recently In vited to deliver an address before the graduating class of a Southern law school. As he entered the commence ment hall he read on the swinging door the word "Push." "That's a good text for my speech," se said to himself as he related the story afterward. He be gan his remarks something like this: "Gentlemen of the Graduating Class: As I entered this beautiful hall a word met my eye which I wish you aU to take as a motto in your professional careers." Every one Instinctively turned to glance at the door, the orator among the rest. There on the inside, In let tels only too easily read, was the in scription "Pull." "It was a clean give away," said the judge later; "I'd let the cat out of the bag then and there, and there wasn't a thing to d) but to confess." Thomas A. Edison, the famous in ventor, has perfected a phonograph which, it is believed, will revolutionize th? taking and producing of testimony and dictation. Mr. Edison claims that with two machines, one for recording and the other for producing, a single operator can da the work of eight un der the present system. The Orange, N. J., correspondent for the Chicago Chronicle says: "Although no larger than ordinary phonographs, the new device is different In many particulars. The record is nine Inches long and half an inch thick and will take from eight to nine letters of ordinary length. An other advantage claimed for the record of the new machine is that it can be shaved 175 times, making it cost no more than the cheapest paper. The machine is operated by electricity. Af ter the person dictating has finished his work the typewriter operator takes the record and transfers It to a phonograph at his desk. When he touches a button with his foot the machine begins to re produce. The invention is not claimed to be an entirely new and untried o"he, but it has not been so thoroughly per fected that it could be profitably used for the purpose referred to till now.' While the belief Is about general that the present prosperity of the United States Is to continue, it is a cause for gratification to find that shrewd observers of foreign nations hold to this view and do not hesitate to express their emphatic belief In the permanent prosperity of this country. Commercial Councilor Backer of Ber lin, a German official who made a tour of this country to study our resorts and to report upon the development of our Industries, In an official report made to the German government Is quoted as saying: "The enormous pro gress of the UniteM States during the past decade will continue at an Increas ing ratio." The high German official who made this emphatic and unr? served statement in his report to his government enlarges, in addition, upon the resources of the United States, and concedes the superiority of the Ameri can industrial system, which has en abled the United States to compete suc cessfully in the markets of the world. The conclusion is reached that the present prosperity of this greatly pros perous country, "based upon produc tiveness and intelligent development of wonderful resources," will continue "In spite of all that Europe can do In the way of competition or reprisal." The above is an expression of opinion which is most impressive and most significant. The opinion of the high German official Is undoubtedly shared by the representatives of other foreign nations who have studied the situation and conditions in the United States, Read This Column A ModdKitchen Every Home Can Have One at a Very Small Cost.
