A CHANCER SOCIETY. .
, "I wish we had a granger organis
ation in thi country." remarks a pion
eer resident of -Astoria. He has the
welfare of the country at heart. Is
close observer. And hi auggestlon is
worthy of serious consideration. It
H prompted by the desire to aeo the
agricultural and horticultural possibili
ties of the county developed. As a
matter of fact, a irranger organisation
might be productve of much good. At
any rate there, la work for such an or
ganisation in Clatsop county. The pro
evince of granger societies aside from
their social phase is to discuss the ad
aptability of different products to soil
and climatic condltiona,raising of stock
and other question looking to the pro
motion of the farming Industry.
At the farmer's constifss held here
In it wa concede that conditions
for darylng in this section are Ideal and
the dairy induitry has steadily grotrn
since that time. Professor Thomas
Shaw of the Minnesota agricultural
college said nt that time that another
Industry equally as Important for the
Lower Columbia lver country was
eessfully employed. This paper is In-
the raising of sheep. Subdue the fern formed that :f the method of delivering

s There are a variety of topics present
ed by the situation in Clatsop county
that would furnish Interesting discus
sion to a farmer's organisation and a
society of that kind might prove very
beneficial to both city and county.
THE JETTY CONTRACT.
' All this howl about the contract for
furnishing the rock for the Jetty, In
which It Is asserted that the work can
not be done In contract time, and that
the rock is inferior at Bugby, loses its
force with thinking people when they
atop to consider that the best that the
Hale-Kernan Construction Co. ever did
when they were delivering rock was
t.000 tons a day, while the Northwest
Construction Co. are daily hauling and
delivering 1,400 tons. We can only
judge what the old concern is capable
of doing, by their past efforts; and fig
ures don't lie.
It is a well known fact that the pre
sent manner of receiving the rock is
the more economical of the two plans
considered, I, e., by rail and by barges.
The former method is now most suc-
and raise grass instead, and the ques
tion of raising sheep at a profit was
settled he said. The sheep-raising in
dustry however, has not kept pace
with darylng. Assesstr Clrneltus es
nmeration for 190J shows only 993 sheep
and goats valued at $1,510 in Clatsop
county. This is an Increase af 103
head over the previous year but is not
what might be expected from a terri
tory of 397,673 acres of hills and valleys
of perennial verdure. The assessor
this year finds only 394 swine in the
county scarcely enough to feed the
army of men working at Biigby quarry
a fortnight. Horses and mules make
a better showing.' 833 toeing found
against f!31 last year. The cattle as
sessed number 474S head, valued at
J."X,655, a gain in number of 1591, and In
value over lat year. The growth
of dairying In the country is very grati
tying, and the facilities are at band for
developing the sheep and goat industry,
as well as the raising . of horses and
cattle, vegetables and certain kinds of
fruit.
The first stock from this county ex
hibited in competition with stock from
the outside was taken to the state fair
at Salem by O. Peterson and Sam El
more this year. It is gratifying to know
that the cattle exhibited by Mr. Peter
son took second premium. Vegetables
particularly cabbage and roots, can be
grown successfully In this county as
well as berries, and the hardier kinds
of apples. By turning attenton to the
production of such fruits and vegeta
bles and grasses as are adapted to the
soil and climate the large per centage
of land listed as non-tillable In Clatsop
county ;ould be materially- reduced,
and a home market could be opened for
much of of the merchandise now Im
ported from California and other out
side points. ' !
the rock, which was proposed by the
Hale-Kernan ConstructlonCo.,had been
adopted, it would have ntailed to the
government the expense of building a
wharf, costing not less than $50,000.
The Portland Journal has been trying
to represent the disappointed .bidders
and stir up trouble, but the" fact re
mains just the same that the rock
trains, loaded with large stone, go by
dally.and while reading those plaintive
waiis of -our Portland contemporary-
it is well to keep in mind a few of the
facts an! figures as-they exist.
ine government is getting more
rock than ever, rock the size mentioned
In the ocn tract, cheaper than the Port
land people could lurmsn the same,
and that is the whole thing in the pro.
rerbial , "nutshell."
The report publlched in the Portland
Telegram a few days ago concerning
the delay in the completion of the deep-
sea dredge, Grant, is of deep interest
to Astoria. It is said that though the
contract time when the work should be
completed is past, yet all the machin
ery lias not been installed.
While this is unfortunate in :many re
spects, because if the fall weather is
allowed to pass before work Is begun,
good results cannot be accomplished
curlier than spring, yet it is better to
have the machinery In good working
order before attempting anything, than
to take chances of possible failure. The
dispatches have it that the pumps are
yet to arrive and to be installed. No
one can safely sugggest when the
Ornnt will arrive to enter the new field
of usefulness.

shipped out of Rainier last month, sev

w
hug a resnonaible noaition in
the Government service at
Washinsrton. D. C. decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been rel ieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. ' It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervons
system, gives tone to the bodily func
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic tor wo
men known to the science of medicine.
If you are a suffering wo
man we would say to you
that Wine of Cardui seldom
fails to completely cure any
case of female ills. We say
emphatically, it never fails
to benefit. Every day hun
dreds of sufferers are writing
to our Ladies' Advisory De
partment. The letters are
opened by persons compe
tent to give advice. Mrs.
Jones was cured bv follow
ing the advice which was freely given
her by the Ladies' Advisory Depart
ment Miss Owens was cured without
advice byjnst buying a $1.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri
vacy of her home. No doctor's ex
amination, treatment or advice is nec
essary, lou have read what these two
cured women have written. Is this not
enough to lead you to determine to be
rid 01 suffering?
; August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. H. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back again and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
