- INCRES2D TILLABLE ACRES.
Accorling to Assessor Cornelius' re
turn for the present year, Clatsop coun
ty bas S7S4 acre of tillable land and
412. Ml acres of fton-ttllable. The pro
portion Is aa 1 to .73, that la for every
ami of tillable land there are TS acres
of non-tniable. This is a little better
tsbolng than last Year; Then the re
turn showed 4660 aorta of tillable and
393,018 of non-tillable, or a ratio of 1 to
84. According to the assessor's enumer
atlon for last year the average for each
lift acres or quarter section of land was
approximately S acres of tillable to 15$
acres of non-tillable land; and an en
. tire section of $10 acres, would contain
only I acres of tillable land. : This
year's returns shows between two and
three for each quarter sectioB and near
ly ten acres for a whole section.
The nreponileranc of non-tillable
lund. It Is to be noted. Is more appnr
it than real. In listing; fcinds, it has
been the rule, generally to call that
w hich is actually Under cultivation till
able and that which Is not, though cap
able of 'V eultlyatfort on- ' tillable..
Furthermore, tillable land Is valued at
14 to $20 an acre for assessment pur
poses while rvon-Ullable is rated at $1 to
32 per acre, and the temptation exist
for the owner. In giving in his lands, to
swell the acreage cf non-tillable. It
is patent to every one acquainted with
Clatsop's lands that 5764 acres is only a
fractional part of the area that may be
made productive of small" fruits and
vegetables, and as stated by Professor
Siaw, that almost every kind of food
Biown in temperate climates for dairy
cows can be produced on the bench
lands and tidelands around Astoria.
According to Assessor Cornelius, If ail
lands capable of cultivation was puj in
the tillable list, the returns would show
four or five times as much as is now
riven. . According to ex-Assessor Car
nahan, there -Is. tally .30,000 acres of re
rlaimuble tide-lands along the Colum
bia that i-ould be transformed into the
finest dairying ranches in the state.
State Dairy and-Food Commissioner
Bailey expresses surprise that there
should not be more extensive dairying j
In this vicinity for he says the condi
tions here are Ideal and there are mil
lions In dairying in the LowerColumbia
river country wh-jn the Industry is prop
erly developed. ' -
BAILEYS WERE PARDONED.
A conimunieatlon in the Oregonlan
over the signature of Charles Becker,
of : Westfall, Malhuer county, shows
the recent pardon of Bailey (mm thc
penltentlary to have been a miscarriage
of Justice. Filled with liquor.lhe Bailvy
boys on horseback, rode upon William
Humbert, an unarmed young rancher,
and put four bullet holes through his
body with M and 44 calibre revolvers
murdering him within sight of his fam
ily. AftJr the murder the Baileys told
a ranchman in the vicinity if he In
formed on them lie might expect the
ame fats. A jury found the Baileys
guilty -of murder In the second degree
and their punishment was fixed at Im
prisonment for life. .It was a surprise
to the community, so Sir. Becker says
that the verdict was not murder in the
first degree, and ;he punishment hang
ing. After thoy had served a few years of
their sentence a Bakor City lawyer
set out to seoure their release. A peti
tion in their behalf has been on file in
the executive office for years, hut it
never received favorable action until
Governor Chamberlain a few days ago
decided to grant them freedom, after
serving about aleven years. This
causes Mr. Bocker, who lives in the
vicinity where the crime was committ
ed to remark that "Just such cases as'
this makes an outraged community
look to Judge Lynch for justice."
The Oregonian, commenting edito
rially on the pardon suggests that the
state board of pardons was grossly Im
post d on, by the petitioners. The gov
ernor is meant as this state has no
board of. pardons, and under the con
stitution all pardoning power is lodged
In the governor. The suggestion of Mrr
Becker, that before action on an ap
plication for pardon, the people of the
cumminity where the crime was com
mitted should be ratified by publication
In the press Is a good one and that cus
tom has been followed for years, if
Governor Chamberlain overlooked It in
the case of the Baileys, and gave th
people no "opportunity to be heard, it
was an executive mistake.
That the soil has not been more
throughly developed seems inexplica
ble. That It will be brought into re
quisftton soon is assured. A field for
capital and labor is here presented.
Lare sums of money are annually paid
out here to fishermen, men in the mills,
the logging camps, quarries, and men
in the government service. They In
turn pay out their money for the ne
cessities of life, making a home market
for all, and more than all that is "at

A Constant Drain
Upon the System.
Nothing is 2 source of so mucli trouble p.s an old snr? or nirr tari, ...
larly when located upon the lower extremities where the circulation is weak
and sluggish. A gangrenous eating ulcer upon the leg is a frightful sight
and as the poison burrows deeper and deeper into the tissue beneath and the
ore continues to spread, one can almost see the flesh melting away and feel
the strength going out with the sickening discharges. Great running sere
and deep offensive ulcers often develop from a simple boil, swollen giant
bruise or pimple, and area threatening danger always, because while a
Bach sores are not cancerous, a great many are, and this should' make yo
suspicious of all chronic, slow-healing ulcers and sores, particularly if cat
cer runs in your family. Face sores are common and cause the greate
sistent and unsightly and detract so
much from one's personal appearance.
Middle 'aged and old people and
those whose blood is contaminated and
tainted with the germs and poison of
malaria or 6ome previous sickness, are,
the chief sufferers from chronic sores
and ulcers. While the blood remains in
fja unhealthy, polluted condition heal
ing is impossible, and the sore will
continue to grow and spread in spite of
washes and salves or any superficial or
surface treatment, for the sore is but
the outward sign of some constitu
tional disorder, a bad condition of
the blood and system which local
remedies cannot cure. A blood purifier
and tonic is what you need. Some
thing to cleanse the blood, restore its lost properties, quicken the circul
tion and invigorate the constitution, and S. S. S. is just such a remedy.
S. S. S. reaches these old chronic sores through the blood. It goes
the very root of the trouble and counteracts and removes from the blood a
the impurities and poisons, and gradually builds up the entire system and
strengthens the sluggish circulation, and when the blood has been purified
ana tne system purgea of all morbid,
unhealthy matter the healing process
begins, and the ulcer or sore is soon
entirely gone.
S. S. S. contains no mineral or poison
ous drug3 of any description, but is puar.

purifier and tonic combined and a safe and permanent cute for chronic sores
