The land-leasing bill' has' appeared , again, but Representative Lacy has the rfght "mule by the ear" this time, un less under his Innocent looking meas ure there Is a "catch." On Its face It looks good, particularly to one who has spent a decade amongst, the waving . hanrh grass of the more fertile reigons and the Juniper and sage brush of the less productive localities. The bill orlmarlly gives to home steaders and settlers In arid and seed- arid regions the right to protect the grass upon the public domain in the vt clnlty of their lands, so as to prevent further deterioration and monopolism tion of the ranges by the owners of large herds of livestock. The dispatches further say, in speak , lng of the measure, that such parts of arid and semi-arid refeions as are not necessar yfor irrigation purposes may undn- the Lacy bill, be leased for stock gracing purposes, subject to the right of a homesteader and other entry at all times. . , The leases are to be regulated by the secretary of the interior, and are to run for five years, with the right of renewal, each lease to be limited to 320 acres to each person. Leases are non-transfer able, and are to be granted only to ac tual settlers. Corporations are denied the right to secure leases. Lands subject to lease are to be class ified, and shall be rented at rates vary, lng from 1 to 6 cents per annum. Per sons leasing lands will be permitted to fense these lands at thlr own expense, This Is a vastly different measure from the one which was before congress some time ago. The bill advocated then was but a scheme to crowd out smaller settlers in favor o fthe richer, and particularly favored corporations .That there are vast tracts of lands that can never be secured under the present land laws, being valueless for anything but grazing, the writer knows full well. The proposed law appears to be in the right line, though the amount of land that each settler might rent, could be Justly raised to 640 acres. It Is not difficult to find In many places In Eastern Oregon tracts as large as'a section that could not keep a band of geese. ' ' The "Pristine Petrified Phenomenon Company" is aggrieved because it bought for exhibition purposes a "pet rified man" made of Portland cement. and is suing the seller for $3500. It ought to lose. Men who would select a name like that were bound to be buncoed, says an exchange. This re minds one of the "mumified giant" ex hibited in Eastern Oregon a few years ago. A team hauling the fraud around the country ran away, demolishing it. The manager was much aggrieved be cause a country newspaper suggested that It would be an easy matter to make a new one. ' The P-I.. doesn't appear to like our cartoonist of cartoonists.Homer Daven port. It says: "Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, who is famous for his sub stitution of vulgarity for humor, has resigned from the New York Journal and American. Was he too coarse for the paper or was the paper too coarse for him, or was neither coarse enough for the other?" He succeeded, Just the same, this paper will add, and gained a name as master of the art. A' fllfed-ln railroad avenue fanning north and south for miles, lined with substantial buildings on one side and a line of great wharves and a solid sea wall on the other, would be a splendid thing for Seattle, not only in itself but as an advertisement for her prosperity, says the P.-I. This reminds The As torian that a sea-wall, with the tide Sits filled in, with blocks of business hotmes on the vacant lots, would also be a grand thing for Astoria. A novel window display is reported from Canada, where a merchant fast ened the trimmings to the ceiling or to the aides and left the floor devoid of decorations. On the window the sign read: "All our prices are topsy-turvy." Trade Journal. The Oregon delegation, very properly, have made a request that President Roosevelt Incorporate in his message a request that congress deal liberally with the Portland Lewis and Clark fair. No doubt the president will commend the project. The Interests of all Astoria will be subserved by tbe euiiion of the har bor llua, a suggested by our Chamber of Commerce.

Now she agrees to sell 100x150 feet, with the dwellings on the property, for $7000 This second offer Is much more satis factory than the first made. Ou Sun day the committee named to report on the matter visited the several sites of Xered for the purpose of making an ex amination. Another meeting of the committee will be held Wednesday night, at which time a report will be prepared for presentation to the coun cil. DOSENT RESPECT OLD AGE. It's shameful when youth falls to show proper respect to old age, but Just the contrary In the case of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They cut off maladies no matter how severe and irrespective of old age. Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Fever. Constipation and all yield to this per fect pill. So at Chas. Rogers' drug Store. Captain George L. Goodale, construct lng quartermaster, V. S. A., will soon advertise for bids for the sinking of five wells at Fort Stevens, instructions to that effect reaching him yesterday, from the quartermaster-general. The object in sinking the wells is to ascer tain the supply of water and if possible establish thereby a system that will supply the post. It had been contem plated to bring water to the post from the heid waters ' of the Lewis and Clark, but this idea was later abandon ed when the great cost of the under taking was fully taken into consideration.

Carelessness is respnslble for many a railroad wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from Throat and Lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, even the worst cases can be cured, and hopeless resignation Is no longer necessary.
