PAGft TWO. ASTORIA', OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1904. OLD STOCKS DISCOVERED Certificates of Face Value of More Than $200,000 Found by Hotel Clerk. NAME OF OWNER UNKNOWN Believed Securities Have Long Since Been Reported Lost and i ; That They Have Been Re-placed. New York, July 11. Certificates of stocks and bonds having a face value of $208,000 have-been unearthed from amonir a mass of rubbish In the store room of a Greenwich street hoteL To whom they originally belonged or for how many years they had been lying on a shelf buried In dust and dirt no one knows. That they were brought to light even now was due to a night clerk who was searching for something else. The securities were mainly stocks and bonds of the Ohio Central Railroad and obscure mining company shares. Most of them bore the names of stock ex change firms and are believed to have long since-been reported lost and re placed by duplicates. RACE SUICIDE IN AUSTRALlXT Decreasing Birth Rate Causes Much Worry Among Officials. St Paul, July 11. The steadily de creasing birth. rate In Australia is one of the problems that confront thinking people of the Antipodes, and this, coupled with the further fact that the government, through Its control by la bor organizations, has restricted Im migration from India and other sources of cheap labor, has made the question of supply of the labor market one of the most serious before the people of Australia. C Dudley-Cooper, Australia com missioner to the St Louis exposition, talked of the prevailing conditions In the big island continent but more es pecially as regards his own province, New South Wales, which contains the city of Sidney of 500,000 people and Is the mother country of the common wealth. Mr. Dudley-Cooper, who left recent ly for Columbus, O- and later goes to the fair, speaks from a broad general knowledge of affairs In his far-away country. He said: "One of the chief sources of anxiety for the future welfare of Australia is the decreasing birth rate. For some years it has been going down steadily, and lately so many deputations of statemen, ministers and statisticians have been calling on the premier that a royal commission has been named to inaugurate an investigation. 'In my opinion the cause of the de crease is due to changing conditions. "Where people have become accustomed to wealth and affluence they do not readily meet the new conditions, and the descendants of old families in Australia, who lived in great plenty and gave to their children many of the accomplishments, will not have children whom they cannot educate and start in life as well as they them selves. "There is a deplorable centraliza tion of the population in the larger cities, and it is almost impossible for many industrious, capable men to ob tain employment in the better paid classes of employment. The royal commission, It is expected, will make a report which will clear the atmos phere. "The troubles of Australia, which are manifold Just now, may largely be traced to the word apathy. Every body and everything is apathetic. The absolute control of the government's legislative branches and some of its executive branches is in the hands of the so-called labor party. In New South Wales, where the conditions are exaggerated in a greater degree than in the other provinces, the control is all in the hands of the labor element, and capital, is pulling up its stakes and leaving the country as a result of legislation that is entirely unfriend ly to it" SOME GIGANTIC COMPANIES. Seven Capitalized in New Jersey For $100,000,000 or More Each.. Trenton, N. J., July 11. Preliminary tax schedules filed by the state board of assessors with the state comptrol ler show that for the year 1904 taxes have been levied against 125 New Jer spy corporations having an Issued cap ital stock 'of 110,000,000 or upward Bfven of this number have been taxfd on en lued capital of exceeding I100, 000,000. There are 5.T5S companies in the preliminary schedules, which in clude only companies having made voluntary returns showing the amount of their Issued stock and tt Is esti mated that the complete returns will Include nearly 11.000 corporations, or more than 1.000 In excess of the num ber taxed in 190$. The tax levied on these 5,755 which Includes most of the larger New Jersey corporations. amounts to $2,436,919. The lists do not contain railroad and canal com panies or any corporations taxed on a basts other than the amount of the capital stock. The Northern Securities Company, which, next to the United States Steel Corporation, has the largest Issued capital stock of any company In the state. Is among those taxed. As the company has been declared an Illegal combination by the United States su preme court it is doubtful if it will or can legally pay its taxes. On this point lawyers differ, and the state board has given the state the benefit of the doubt The seven companies taxed on an issued capital stock exceeding $100,- 000,000 are: United States Steel Cor poration, SS6S.5S3.600; Northern Se curities Company, $395,402,643; Amal gamated Copper Company, 215S.8S8.- 000; Rock Island Company, $150,000,- 000; United States Leather Company, $125,164,600; International Hamster Company. $120,000,000; International Mercantile Marine Company, ' $120,-000,000. Costliest Atoms in World. There are some people, no doubt, who fancy that $2,000 an ounce Is quite enough to give for anything In the world, and yet from all appear ances there Is little doubt that this price will come to be looked upon as a very modest one for radium. The action of the Austrian government In restricting the mining of pitchblende In Bohemia is already having its ef fect and the mighty atoms become more valuable every day. As an in stance of the manner in which the precious material is regarded, we need only mention the demand that is made for the mere loan of a specimen of radium. It Is of 1,800,000 activity, and has a distinct effect on the electro scope at a distance of eight feet For the few specks of yellowish substance In the center of a case half the size of a lady's watch over 100 has been refused, the owners preferring to lend It out to doctors at 5 a time.

Vacation time should bring rest, recreation and comfort; and comfort of the solid and pleasing variety means no high collar, no stiff hat and no Itching scalp.. It Is for this last dis comfort that Newbro's Herpioide becomes a summer necessity, as It stops Itching of the scalp and Prickly Heat almost Instantly. Take Herpicide with you on your vacation. ...8CALP WARNING.. Itching of the scalp is not so much a punishment for past neglect as It is a warning for the future. It shows, almost consluslve ly, that the vine-like, mlcrobic growth that causes dandruff, Itching scalp and falling hair has entered the Sebaceous glands and unless this growth Is stopped and kept out of the scalp, baldness will follow. ...IT 13 CONTAGIOUS.. It was Prof. Unna (ask your doctor about him), who first pointed out that the true cause of hair loss Is a germ or microbe that lodges In the scalp where It causes dandruff. Being of mlcrobic origin the disease Is necessarily contagious but Dr. Babouraud has recently called attention to the highly contagious nature of dandruff, and the necessity of constant watchfulness to avoid It. Kill the dandruff germ with Herpicide.' UNSTERILIZED PUBLIC HAIR-BRUSHES, says Dr. A. Cartas, are to blame for most of the baldness that Is prevalent today. He further states that, "baldness begins In the young," By this he means that the germ that causes the disease Is planted In the scalp of young men and that some times years elapse before the de struction Is complete. 11 ;4 V WILL NOT GROW HAIR.. Newbro's Herpicide Is a MHair-8sver;" it will not grow hair nature does this but by destroying the enemies of hair health, it enables the hair to grow as nature Intended except In chronic baldness, Save your hair with Herpicide, Wonderful results follow its use. HOT WEATHER TROUBLES.. During hot weath ed the minute sudatory glands of the scalp are called upon to perform an extra amount of labor. The per spiration that exudes In Increased quantities must be handled promptly as It carries out poisonous and re fuse matter that would otherwise clog up the pores of the scalp. Incomplete elimination of refuse matter produces a hot and feverish condition of the scalp, familiarly known as Prickly Heat, for which Herpi cide gives Immediate relief. Ladles will find Herpi cide indispenslble. It contains no grease, will not stain or dye. It Is an exquisite hair dressing that COOLS, COMFORTS and DELIGHTS. NO COMPLAINT FROM OUR , . - CUSTOMERS.
