?Jo- that the political squabble over
the Tuttle charter bill has become a
.matter of history, it is a food time
for the people of Astoria and Clatsop
county to make some effort to adver
tise the resources and grand posai
bQitles of the city and county, to the
end that eastern people may be at
traded here and will locate in Indus
trial pursuits or develop our resource.
tn agriculture and dairying-.
Herman Wise has made a good sug
gestion, which in substanec is that if
the people of Astoria took as much
interest in, building up the resources
f Clatsop county as they did in the
Tntle charter bill, the result would be
more beneficial to the city and county.
If the same energy were spent in in
ducing eastern people to come here
and locate, build up our natural re
sources, inaugurate new enterprises,
cultivate our lands, which are the
most productive of any county in the
state, encourage people to come here
and develop the dairying interests
which can be made wealth producers,
as was used to secure the passage or
the defeat of the Tuttle charter bill
there would be less friction, not N
no.cn personal antagonism and a bet
ter feeling would exist throughout the
city and county.
There is no county in the state whera
darying can be carried on so success
fully and so profitably as in Clatsop
county. There Is no other section o'crovement of Thirteenth street was

the state where the finest dairying
lands can be bought as cheaply as In
this county. There is no other loca
tion where the products bring as high
a price, are as accessable to the mar
kets of the world and where every
thing produced commands as ready a
sale as in Clatsop county. The trouble
is .these facts are not known outside
ofia limited number. Even a large
majority of our own business people
do not realize the grand possibilities
in store for the city and county if they
were only developed.
There is not sufficient population In
Clatsop county to develop these re
sources. A large number of the popu
lation are engaged In the fishing In
dustry and have no knowledge ot
farming or dairying. A large numbei
are engaged In the logging and mill
business, and the result is, there are
not a requisite number of farmers to
produce sufficient products for home
consumption. It Is no credit to the
county or the enterprise of the people
that a very large amount of all the
butter, eggs, farm produce and other
necessaries of life have to be Import,
ed from more enterprising communi
ties. It shows an indifference that
has been characteristic of many of the
people of Astoria. It retards the
growth of the city and county and con
fines the business prosperity of the
elty to the few months of the fishing
season. There is no reason why there
should not be as large revenues de
rived from dairying and farming as
from the fishing industry and there
could be if the people would take
more Interest In these matters and
devote less time to politics.

Chicago, Feb. SO. A can of gasoline
oil soaked cloth, and a substance said
to be nltro-glycerlne were found last
night when fire was discovered In the
tailor 'shop of Charles Fass. In the
Morrison hotel building, Clark and
Madison streets. The blase. It Is de
clared, was ot Incendiary origin and
the police are making an Investigation.
The fire caused much alarm In the
hotel building, It being the third time
within a week that hotel guests have
been driven Into the street by flames.
Had the fire started later In the
night several deaths might have been
the result. As it was only the prompt
neas of the hotel employes prevented
an explosion, as the blase had almost
reached the gasoline when notk-cd.
In the hotel when the alarm came In
were more than S00 guests. No one
was Injured, but several chambermaids
and domestics on the second floor de
veloped cases of hysterics. .

Mr. S. B. Hcge, passenger agent of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Wash
ington, D. C, one of the bent-known
railroad men of
the country,
sends the follow
ing grateful let
ter: "Thanks
to the Cuticurs
Remedies, I am now rid of that fear
ful pest, weeping eczema, for the first
time in three years. It first appeared
on the back of my hand in the form
of a little pimple, growing into several
blotches, and then on my ears and
ankles. They were exceedingly pain
ful because of the itching and burning
sensation, and always raw. After the
first day's treatment with Cuticurs
Soap, Ointment, and Pills, there was
very little of the burning and itching,
ana the cure now seems to be com
plete. I shall be glad to aid in reliev
ing others suffering as I was, and you
may use my letter as you wish,
(signed) S. B. Hege, Washington,
D.C., June 9, '04."
