Poor Crops and Presidentisl Year Re sponsible for Condition. Edgar W. BUM, who ha charge of th linotype room of Tbe Morning Airian, returned to Astoria yester day after an absence of seven weeks In th east Mr. Stahl traveled through the middle west and states that busi ness conditions are not at all satis factory there. People who have money seem to be very timid and the effect is plainly noted throughout minola, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and other states In that section. "Primarily the business decline Is due to poor crop prospects," said Mr, Stahl yesterday. "All of the cereals we backward, because of the lack of rain, and the indication are that the crops will be shorter this year than for many year past Not only does this condition prevail In the eastern st&tes,but even on the coast the out look Is poor. I have been In the Wll lamette valley for a few days,-and the same complaint Is made there. "Business is always dull just before presidential election, and the ap proacblng election I having its effect throughout the entire country. Peo ple who have money are holding It after the fashion of the times, and there 1 a decided scarcity of money east of the Rockies. Business Is bet ter on tbe coast than In the east and w hear less In the west of actual con ditions than one learns when visiting there. It seems to be pretty generally felt that the present summer will be very dull." . Judge McBrlde cracked a pretty good joke during the trial of the suit of John Turple vs. D. II. Welch et al. The suit is brought to settle a dispute affecting the payment of $1000 on a mortgage, Mr. Welch claiming to have paid the money and Mr. Turple set ting up a contrary contention. The sound of the carpenter.s hammer waa plainly audible in the old court room and so much noise was made that It was difficult for one to hear the evi dence. Mr. Welch finished his testi mony and the court asked the attor neys If they Intended continuing with the case. "Not only Is Justice blind, but she Is likewise deaf," remarked Judge McBrlde. "It seems to me we ought to let this case go over until there is less noise." However, the ad ditional evidence could be heard In a few minutes, so the attorneys pro ceeded to struggle through with lt'4 4 4 ATTTTTiiiiTiiiii:iTiiiiiTyij,TTriiiiiiiiiiiiiiirirrrrr M M M M H M M I H H N N H 0 H N H V Staple and Fancy Groceries FLOUR, FEED, PROVISIONS, TOBACCO AND CIGARS.
