The Astorian this morning present the initial issue of its Monday paper. the first of the many improvements that are to follow under the new regime. The Astorian feels its readers will find the columns of this seventh-day papet very readable. A perusal will reveal that the Astorian has kept the first of the many promises made through thee columns a short time ago. The ad dttional telegraphic service is at once noticable;the local pages are improving by degrees. But these represent merely the beginning. In the very near future ..the Sunday Astorian will be increased to twelve pages; these will include comic, colored supnleuxtat. The As torian quite realizes that the city of A toria is worthy of a thorough, up-to date newspaper, both from the stand point of efficiency and typography, and is determined that the city shall be graced with such a medium. COUNTRY'S BIRTHDAY. One hundred and thirty years ago King George, of Great Britain, who look ed upon the modest body of men who dar ed to conceive anything so grossly imper nent as the Declaration of Independence, as a few revolutionary agitators whose careers could be snuffed out by the wave of his arm. His first surprise was when his loyal sons received a very severe set back in the bands of a few farmers, whom Americans fondly recall as the 'Minute Men." Following, the good King George was favored with a contin nous" surprise ; this culminated, for 1 short period, with the surrender of Corn wall. Since the treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary war, the pro gress of the United States has been a further and continuous surprise, not only to Great Britain, but to the entire world. In little over a century the country has risen from thirteen small states to a nation whose shores ire lapped by' the two great oceans, whose beautiful stars and stripes- are flung from two hemispheres, whose products find markets in the most remote cor ners of the globe and whose marvelous ly extensive territories support seventy million, thriving, industrious, patriotic and liberty-loving people. Xever in its history has the United States assumed the aggressive. The immortal words of Oorge Washington, "the most effect ual method of preserving the peace, is to prepare for war," have become engraved so deep within the minds of Americans, they are often recalled, with i'.n result that the Congress provides for additional ships for our increasing navy or for for tifications to protect our long sea coast. When war has come, we have been pre pared ; the Stars and Stripes have never yet been dipped. The United States to day is a world power, a nation whose friendship is eagerly sought by the great est countries in the world. Xot a spot on this broad earth but what American enterprise and ingenuity has left Its mark. True, we suffer various dissen sions, as do other nations, but they are merely ephemeral. If the occasion arises to a man, Americans will again show the world that there is no North, no South, no East, no West, just one great country filled with a determined people who love their Stars and Stripes and who will give their lives ere they see those inspiring hues trailed in the dust 0 Upon him, in his eighty two years, has been visited some of the highet honor his country could bestow, he ha held 'seat in the highest councils, he was one of the joint high commissioners chosen to settle the Alabama claims and the Northwestern boundary, as chief jus tice of the Oregon territory, he was one of the officials attending the funeral cortege of Abraham Lincoln, his friend and colleague; in the department of it ate display in the government build ings at the Lewi & Clark exposition, among the portrait of those who have guided this glorious country, may be distinguished his plain feature as attorney general of the United State in the cabinet of President Ulysse S. GranU. He was President Grant' first choice as chief justice of the United State to succeed Salmon P. Chase Whose career has been more honorably than that of George II. Williams? His record may be traced from the time he entered Pompey academy, in New York state, learning the rudiments of his ed ucation by working as a janitor, to the present day. As Judge of the first judicial District of Iowa, as chief jus tices of the Oregon territory as Uni ted Mates senator, as Attorney gener ai 01 me 1 niieu Mates, ana last, as Mayor of the City of Portland, he ful filled his obligation in the most admir able manner. Those whom he honored by living in their midst have repudiated him. The glowing truhute, of 'Tucle Toe" Cannon, paid Mr. Williams at the opening of the Lewi and Clark expo sition, that great and feeling eulogy of a great man by one, equully as great. fell upon idle ears; the harsh criticisms, the contemptible insinuations that have been cast upon the venerable statesman whose head is crowned with the snow of four score years will forever remain a stigma upon the City of Portland and IN LIGHTER VEIN. its people. Casabiaaca't Celebration. The boy stood on the burning porch Whence all had made a scoot; A Roman candle in hi hand Was just about to shoot. A frauled pinwheel at hi aide Was all that stayed to tell How father, minus half hi hide, Had fled with grievou yell. A busted bomb upon the floor, Some remnant of a hat, Suspender buttons three or four Tht we where grandpa sat. An isle of safety on the lawn Where still the gras was green Marked where his sister dear had gone To rub ou vaseline. Anon the smoke rose from the yard, . And then, through one small rift, We saw where mother scorched and ' Scarred, A smelling bottle sniffed. And at the gate stood Uncle Bill In fragments of hi pants, Demanding in his accents shrill; "Send us an ambulance!" The boy as we remarked at first, A Roman candle held, He struck a match and lit the fuse; "This is the lust!" he yelled. , The Roman candle fizzled and flared The balls flew far and wide. His relatives, all badly scared, Once more essaved to hide. find, COMMENT But few people mav conceive the good humor and really wholesome prac tical jokes that go to waste in the aver age newspaper ofhee. Imagine the sur prise of an editor on reading the fol lowing, which was designed to provoke the proofreader, but unfortunatly fell into the hands of the powers that be. Portland, July 1. There wa little change in the complexion of the markets WERE THEY BLONDS! iouay. inings along iront street were generally quiet. A number of large shipments of produce are due to arrive Monday and it is expected that these will go readily. Fruit is not coming in very well. Oregon potatoes are now HAVING GLASSES FITTED TO THE EYES AND CAN SEE THEIR WA AS CLEAR AS CAN BE, FOREVER holding their own against the California product. Eggs remain about the same AS THE REST OF THE ORE. FRUIT and there is a slight rise promised in butter. The Cudahy-Swift-Armour outfit find themselves encased in something which promises to be more substantial than the sausage cases they have been pur veying. A representative body of, Tacoma boosters visited the Lewis & Clark ex position yelling their slogan, "Watch Tacoma grow" at the tops of their 'voices. The next attraction will be delegation from the Washington met ropolis. These Mill cry "Watch Seattle Swell." "We are authorized to deny positively the report that Mrs. Woodcock has been tendered the portifolio of Chief of Po lice of Portland," says the Evening Telegram. We take it that Mrs. Mary Woodcock has refuse'd Mayor Lane's offer. Alas! Ere shelter they could The direful deed was done. I He whirled the candles all about And pinked them every one. GEORGE H. WILLIAMS. With his relinquishment of the may oral chair in Portland the public life of George H. Williams ended. This grand old man will return to private life, he will spend the twilight of his long and illustrious career, practicing law. That hi regime in the municipal affairs of the exposition city has ended is most gratifying to some, but not to the majority, not to those who have known Mr. Williams, who have studied bis sterling personality and who have followed the chain of brilliant achieve ment which have characterized his career since he first entered public life. "That well wornjoke about Tacoma' snail-like tendencies and sleepiness is a misfit in the light of what Portland is witnessing today. Thus far no other town has been so thoroughly and effect ively advertised at the Lewis k Clark Exposition as Tacoma. Today marks a fitting climax to the systematic efforts along this line which have been under way since the Fair opened. It is hard to imagine a more forceful demonstra tion of enterprise than that which Ta coma Da given here " comment a Portland paper. Considering that dead marches are played to liven crowds in the exposition city, the fact that the strenuosity accompanying Tacoma's visit to the Centennial has astonished the natives, is not in the least surpris ing. The Naheotta correspondent of the South Bend Journal says: Phil Stamp was called home Saturday by the se rious illness of hi wife. Sunday he went to Ilwaco and brought back his mother wto has been visiting hef son John at Ilwaco. What relation is John to Pbilt In pain they crept up to the porch They crept from brush and brush. And each implored in husky tones; "Let me get at that cub!" There came a burst of thunder sound. The boy O, where wa he? BY turns he was sent on a round That led from knee to knee. Chicago Record, Herald. .."Dad.'' Some boys they call their Dad Papa. Oh, Gee! That makes me mad. It sounds so stiff and like a book You bet 1 call mine Dad. And lie's a ripper too, you bet. The boys all wish they had A father that wdtild laugh and joke, And love them like my Dad. Of course, sometimes, when all the bills Come in he's mighty mad. And then we sit as still as mice And hear him jaw, poor Dud. It's always over soon, and then You bet we all feel glad. And then we all climb on his lap And hug and kiss our dad. "You can't have kids and money too,"' He says, and so he's glad The good Lord made him poor, or ele He niight'nt been our Dad. I don't want to le President, Like every little tad! When I'm grown up, I'd Tather le A nice man just like Dad. May Kelly, in Lippinwtt's. Certainly Not. Editor Look here, young man; you say in this paragraph that Brown was knocked down and relieved of $.0. Did anybody ever rob you? New Reporter No, sir. Editor Ah, that explains it. If you had ever been robbed or swindled you wouldn't describe the loss of $j0 as a relief. Chicago Journal. Tht Norsk Nightingale.
