Among the member of the National Editorial association, during their in spection of the local salmon canneries, laudatory comment, relative to the cleanliness of the packing operation was common. In the hands of excellent hosts the visiting editors were shown every phase of the work. They were escorted to the different canneries in the city and manifested great interest in, not only the magnitude of the in dustry, but in the systematic manner in which the canneries are maintained. And as much as they were impressed by these features, the atmosphere of -lean-lines apparently appealed to them more. "Why those tables are as clean as my kitchen," exclaimed the wife of ene of the party. She but voiced the general opinion which was prevalent, more particularly, among the fairei eex who are especially fitted to perceive the virtues of cleanliness. Each visltoi was given a can of Royal Chinook sal mon. These souvenirs, the recipients assured the donors, they would pre serve as mementos of the occasion. That the editors and their guests were pleas ed is most gratifying. They hail from even the most remote parts of the coun try and are in a position to do a great good for Astoria' salmon canning indus try. The paper they represent offer innumerable media of publicity. Through these an intelligent idea of the fisheries here will be conveyed to thousands of people, who, under normal circumstances, would hear little, or nothing, as to Astoria's salmon canneries. This broad cast publicity can not help but give As toria a place among cities it has not . heretofore enjoyed. There is no reason why euch should be productive of very material benefit to the canneries, to the people and to the city. 0 REPLY TO NONENTITY. The Astorian prefers that it shall be ruled by an itinerant, an idiot, a per son blessed with a generous vein of ego, whose ability is so far below medi ocre, it permits of naught, but lame English and who is possessed of a swol len head -rather than by one who has lived his life among a people, only to earn their contempt. 0 COMMENT In San Francisco, a man, in attempt ing to shoot a cat, narrowly escaped hitting a woman. Fortunately, the wo man was not his wife, otherwise he might have regretted that he did not succeed in exterminating the "cat." DUpatches from New York say that Charles Brinsmade, while on his hon eymoon was a raving maniac. Such intelligence recalls that he must have been mad when he stood before the altar. A dredging company in New ' York has thrown up a contract. This should interest physicians who are studying phenomena. Missouri has removed to California Secretary of War Taft has been invited to attend a max meeting in San Fran cist'O at which the Native Sons of the G, W, will "show him" what's what in the yellow peril proposition. Dime novel publisher will now go out of business. Tales of "Deadwood Dick" killing forty Indians in two minutes, washing his hands in seven buckets of blood and carrying off the beautiful maiden, with the wavy blond locks, upon his manly shoulders; ti "Sly Harry," the veteran sleuth asd his thrilling capture of a band of train robbers; of "Uke Magluke," the "Terror of the Sea, and of char acters of like ilk will no more grace the windows of book stores to leech the small boys' nickels. Young Ameri cans will now read the daily press offer ing vivid account of "Piracy on the High Seas" or "Mutiny Aboard the Kniaa rotemkine" Of Local Significance. "Hello Bill. The Bonhomrae Richard left out." "Whatt "Eh! "What did h. leave out?" The na tive's lip curled in scorn, he cast a pitying glance upon his interrogator and meandered down to the dock to see if any craft had arrived in. At Birmingham, Ala., two trains collided smashing a number of car. Now the Louisville & Nashville and the Southern railways will simply have to purchase some new rolling stock. Where no casualities occur, wrecks have a few virtues. If bovine are turned loose in the streets of .Odessa, or in Lodi, what dol orous suffering will result. It would be well to import a few matadors from Spain to govern the ire the red flags may caue to arise. IN LIGHTER VEIN. Just so. When everything goes crooked, And seems inclined to rile, Don't kick nor fuss nor fidget; Just you smile! Its hard to learn the leon, But learn it if you'd win; When people tease and pester, Just you grin! When some one tries to "do" you By taking more than half. Be patient, firm and pleasant; Just you laugh! But if you find you're stuffy (Sometimes, of course, you will!) And cannot smile nor grin nor laugh, Just keep still ! Arthur Chamberlain Wisdom. Men called him stupid, dull yet he prevailed, And won the maid, where all of them had failed. But was he witless? Read and you shall know Why she, at least, refused to think him so. One day he said: "I would not seem unkind ; But, do you know, your hair looks queer behind." She tucked the wild strands under neath ber hat, And thought: "Wise man, to know as much as that." She wore a gown a late and modish thing, And he at once, its praises sought to sing; The yoke, the sleeve he mentioned every point, Commenting sanely on each tuck and joint. The other women he would criticize, And view them through her biased eyes. In argument, he scouted reason's laws; He claimed that this or that is true, "because!" P; . He won his suit while at the matinee; The idol handsome, debonair and gay, Stood forth a hero! He refused to jeer, But softly murmured: "Heaven's what a dear!" (Puck. A western editor remarks as follows: "When a girl is first engaged she fig ures on a ten room house in a swell part of town. As the time goes on the house gradually decreases in size until it is a four room structure. Then the fancy trimmings are left off, and next the house is located in a remote part of town. Finally, when the wedding comes off it is announced that the couple reside with the bride's father. A Rural Conversation. "Hey, boy, where's your brother?" "In the barn shoein' horses." "Where's your mother?" "In the barn shooin' chickens." "Where's your father?" "In the hammock, shooin' flint." Butte Inter-Mountain. How Names Are Made. The teacher was trying to make out the name of the new pupil, a shiny lit tle, negro boy. "Joseph what?" she said. "Joseph l'ropkins Juice, me'em." "Joseph Propkin Juice!" repeated the teacher wonderingly. A hand shot up from the other side of the room and a voice piped out. "Please, teacher. It's Joseph the Prophet, king of the Jews, Tompkins and he lives in our block. He can't talk plain yet. Town Topics.
