THE DAILY ASTORIAN'S PREMIUM OFFER
Agricultural Implements exported
from , the. united States last year
amount to $21,900,000 In value; In ISSS
they amounted to only 4,500,000 in value
In ISSS, to less than 14,000,000; In 1STS,
to 12.500,000, and In 1861 to less than
(500,000. Of this total of $21,000,000
worth of Agricultural Implements ex

to France, and about an equal sum to
Argentina; M.500,000 to the United
Kingdom, and about an equal sum to
Germany; $1,250,000 to Australia, and
over J 1, 000,000 to Africa. These facts,
presented by the department of com'
merce and labor, through Its bureau of
statistics, are especially interesting at
the present moment, because of the pub
llcatlon now being made by that depart
ment and bureau a aeries ,of reports
1 from consuls In various parts of the
world on the sales and opportunities
for sales of agricultural implements In
the various sections of the world which

distribution. The sound of the Amerl

Europe, while the American plow, and

WHAT A CLERGYMAN THINKS..
An advertiser In today's paper calls
attention to the quality and prices of
his goods tn comparison to the same in
Portland. He gives his prices and In
. vites comparison. It's a fair offer. It
will be not only patriotic but good busi
ness to call in response to his invita
tion and see for yourself. No charge is
made- for showing goods and you may
get together for the mutual benefit of
bothl There is no. question but goods
can be sold as cheap in Astoria as ir
Portland, and the fact that, as a rule,
a, high class of goods is carried here
can not be gainsaid. The man who
publicly advertises his goods and prices
certainly has nothing to fear, and be
fore going away from home to buy
goods it's a duty tbe buyer owes to
himself or herself to investigate the
home merchant's offer. The advertis
ing columns of today's Astorian are
worth perusal.

j A pleasant party waa given in War

young men In honor of Mr. John Clark
and his bride who arrived here Sunday.
Although it was a very stormy night,
many came out to offer congratulations
to the young couple.
Regarding the attempt to wreck the
train on Sunday morning It was true.
A portion of a fence, IS feet In length
taken from the Cunningham place, was
laid across the railroad track about
midnight, alter the rock train was
gone. The reason none of the crejv of
the morning train saw It was owing to
the fact that some of the workmen on
their wny to the fort observed the ob
struction and removed it to the side of
the track.
Astoria,' Ore., Sept 2L '03
I have been requested by The As
torian to write a recommendation of a
work entitled "Ufa and Life-work ot
Pope Leo XIII." by J. J. McQovern, D.
D. It is a pleasure to comply with this
request In this volume we find con
densed in compact form, all the facts
ot Interest in the life of the great
world-figure 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 career
which denotes the close observer and
careful studene on the part of the com
piler. No man, be he a Catholic or a
non-Catholic, can lay claim to a
thorough knowledge of tht political,
social, religious history of tht lust
quarter of the nineteenth century,
'Who Is Ignorant ot the life and work
ot Leo XIII. This volume will In a
measure, furnish a key to tht secret
of the deceased pontlff't wonderful
success and Influence In the world at
large. The author pays special at
tention fo Leo's attitude towards tht
Vuited States. The chapters devoted
to a consideration qf "Leo XIII and
Education" and "Activities in Uchnlf
of Labor" are very timely. The even,
non-polcinnlcnl tone of the volume re
comirend It alike to believer and un
believer. Tho perusal of this book
must needs prove uplifting,
Tht typographical work Is wtll done
and the Illustrations art highly Inter
esting, and considering tht price for
which tht volumt Is offiitd tt Is all
'that could bt desired. Wt bespeak tor
