THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER" An order baa been Issued directing officers nnd men of Uncle Sam's navy to stand at attention, unless their duties , prevent, whenever the "Star Spangled Banner" is played. 'Whether so Intend ed or not. this order will have the ef feet of making this song, practically, the national anthem. Heretofore fleets of other nations have llstned to "Amer ica." the "Star Spangled Banner" and "Dixie." and wondered what America's national anthem i. France has its Marsellalse." England Its "God Save the King," and Germany Its TTacht am Rheln,"but the American sailor has had no anthem that had been designat ed aa national. Now ho may demand " that proper respect to paid the "Star Ppangled Banner," , This anthem will become dearer to every American heart and the story of its origin more interesting. The "Star Simncled Banner" was wMtton by Francis Scott Key, Septem ber 13, 1314, while he and his comrades on board the cartel ship Mimlen, were watching tha storming of Balti more by Admiral Cockrane. Key had been sent with John S.Skin ner of Baltimore to Admiral Cockrane to request the release of Dr. Beanes of Upper Marboro, who had be captur ed at Washington. , The British admi ral confuted to release Dr. Beanea, but would not let the Americans leave -the harbor, as he intended to attack Baltimore, and did not want tha infor mation to reach the city ahead of him. The 11 in Jen. on which Key and his friends were, was anchored in sight of Fort WcHenry. From its decks the three Mends watched the bombard ment. In the dim light of the morning i thy saw through their glasses the star sjtanfiled -banner yet waving in tri mph over the fort, and soon learned of the defeat of the British. When the fiet was ready to sail Key and his friends were released and returned to Baltimore. : During the bombardment while Fran cis Scott Key was pacing the deck between midnight and dawn, he com posed the popular song, the first stansa of which expressed the feelings of the thousands of eye-witnesses to the scene. The rude substance of the song was written on the back of a letter. On the night after his, return to Bat timore Key wrote it out in foil and read it to h!s uncle, Judge Nicholson, one of the defenders of the fort. The pleased Judge had it printed by Captain Ben Jamin Edes. Samuel Sands set the type and distributed the first copies. It was sung oy cnanes tmrang at a restaurant next noor to the Holiday street theater, Baltimore; to an assem blage of patriotic, defenders of the city and after that nightly In the theater and everywhere in public and private. Since Its publication it has been heard throughout the world. It has been Playt-d by American bands in threJj wars. Efforts have repeatedly been made to have the anthem nationalized, but for some reason they always were futile. The r?cont order Is the first official notice given it. I--- - - ' . ' . .

In an article In the London Morning Post, concerning the Vnlted States and Canada,he says: "Tde idea of hostility between Canadians and Americans have never seriously heard expressed. There Is plenty of newspaper talk ln spired by clashing commercial inter. ests, but t goes no further. In many respects Canada is better governed than the United States; there is less political corruption, better administra tion of justice and greater respect for law. I should regard it as a misfor tune for the United States to annex Canada; there are millions in America howver. who would subscribe cheer fully if Canada would annex the United States. C. B. Winn and G. A. Westgate have purchased the Albany Herald and that paper will have the benefit of heir maiden efforts. The debuantes will be introduced into Journalistic so ciety October 1. Mr. WTinn, whose name really Is really entitled to the prefix 'Captain,' Is the commissary otPcer who dealt out rations to the Oregon National Guard during the re cent encampment at Gearhart. Joe Whitney, tha state printer, and Mr, Train, postmaster at Albany, are the retiring proprietors of the Herald. Between the Georgia proposition to deport American negroes and the for eign combination to grow cotton, the present production of 10,000,000 bales a year in the United States seems to be a t-omt of attack. Canada is also trying to attract southern negroes to its west- era lands. Deporting the negro from the south is a large proposition from the labor point of view. That's precisely what the proposition is. Not something for nothing, but actual value for one-third of what the same goods would cost you elsewhere. THE DAILY ASTORIAN'S PREMIUM OFFER The publishers of tho Daily Astorian, in lino with nuxWu journalistic ntcthoda for increasing tho paper's circulation, have decided to offer special inducement to prapectivo subscribers tor the paper, and to that end hare received limited consignments of three separate volumes which are to 1 disposed of to subscribers at the rate of v $1.00 PER VOLUME "Cutler's Red Book of Priceless Receipts" "Webster's Common Sense Dictionary" "The Life of Pope Leo XIII" " 1 Briefly, the first bcok contains receipts for about everything froin curing the sick or running a library" to getting up the hundreds of Alshra fancy or otherwise, that are known only to skilled chefs.

Astoria, Ore., Sept. 21, "03 I have been requested by The As torian to write a recommendation of a work entitled "Life and Life-work of Pope Leo XIII." by J. X.McGovern, D, D. It is a pleasure to comply with this request. In this volume we find con densed in compact form, all the facts of Interest in the life of the great world-flgura concerning whom it treats. Tt is preeminently a practical biogra phy. Intended for the busy man with little time to spare; it displays an in-, sight into the great pontiff's caiwr which denotes the close observer and careful student on the part of com piler. No man, be he a Catholic or a non-Catholic, can lay claim to a thorough knowledge of the political, social, religious history of the last quarter of the nineteenth century, who Is ignorant of the life and work of Leo XI II. This volume will In a measure, furnish a key to the secret of the deceased pontiff's wonderful success and inlluence in the world at large. Author pays spccl.-U at tention to Leo's attitude towards the I'nltod States. The chapter devoted to a consideration of "Leo XIII and Education" and "Activities In Behalf of Labor" are very timely. The even, non-polennlcat tone of the volume re cnmiron.t It alike to believer and un believer. The perusal of this book must needs prove uplifting. The typographical work is well done and the Illustrations are highly Inter, estlng, considering the price for which the volume is oftVred It Is air that could be desired.

In a brilliant, even flamboyant edi torial, the Portland Journal of the 25th takes occasion to thank me for having process, deducts conclusions highly gratifying to itwif. These conclusions aro based on the hypothesis that only one-third of the amount of rock requir ed by the first Jetty contract had been delivered by the morning of that day. I feel gratef-il for the Journal's con sideration and esteem. If the editor of that papr will now cast his eagle eye over the news col umns of his own sheet, of the same date, ho will find it reported that one half the requited amount of rock had been delivered at the time of going to press. Now the Journal Is notorious as a veritable Sherlock Holmes for acquir ing information and an evangelist for diss"minating truth. The total amount of rock under dis cussion was 150.000 tons. The differ ence between one-half and one-third is one-sixth. Ergo, 25,000 tons of rock must have been delivered between morning and evening of the same day. At the same rate the balance wilt be delivered in three days. Thus is the Portland Chamber of Commerce gloriously vindicated through the Infallible columns of the Journal, itself. I would respectfully ask the editor of the Journaf to take note that this present writing is the flrdt that has ap peared on the subject over my signa ture. I tender him my thanks for his timely and erudite mathematical re searches, and my apologies for carry ing them a little further than he haB done, to their logical conclusion. T. II. CURTIS.
