You "can't make a silk purse out of
a aow'a ear," but you can build a first
class, modern and creditable hotel in
Astoria that will pay handsomely from
the day it open its doors.
The cigar-shaped sea raft, with its
thousands of logs and millions of feet of
uncut lumber, may be a fine exhibition
of Yankee 'cutenws In husbanding the
tumble dollar, but it is one of the chief
eec of marine dangers on this coa&t.
while is transit, and just why its men
ace and at times broadcast facility for
wrecking any and every thing that
floats, should be faced and borne by the
people of this coast, without some gov
ernmental effort to regulate it and mini
ify its power for evil, is a nut still un-cracked.
The task that lies in the hands of
United State Sewttor Charles W. Ful
ton, the sole representative of the great
state of Oregon in the national legisla
ture, this winter, II one that will not
only tax him to the verge of endurance,
but will be a supreme test of the man's
splendid ability. Every influence, every
aid, every atom of encouragement that
can be afforded him from home should be
his, and in reason.
The ambiguity attaching to the pres
ent status of Senator Mitchell and Rep
resentatives Williamson and Hermann,
will have the effect of nullifying, if not
destroying, their prestige, and the work
of securing proper recognition of the
state must fall directly and weightily
upon the man from Astoria.
That Mr. Futlon will do his bet none
that know him will doubt for a moment,
but even his best will need the bolster
ing of timely co-operation and unfalter
ing backing by every Oregon ian with a
grain of influence at Washington.
The German Kaiser made a remark
lately that was not intended for the
ears of Japan's ruler or representees;
he did not make it in confidence, nor
witK any sugg(frtd restore; it was
heard by an American congressman, and
others, and, going the way of all care
less speech, finally arrived just where
it was not intended to go; the Kaiser
heard of it, officially and protest ingly;
he kicked, and charged the American
congressman with bad faith; the charge
is denied and resented, and the Ameri
can colony at Berlin is in bad odor
again and cannot play in the imperial
back-yard. But the Kater has brought
it upon himself, so they say, by using
language chosen for the express purpose
of influencing the mind of the American
representative, to whom It was tacitly,
addressed, and must square him.elf at
Tokio as best he can.
Wiliielm's tongue was ever a bit unruly.
Having taught Japan all she knows,
other nations are now learning from her.
During the war in Manchuria many
military men of other nations took ob
servations. They learned nothing from
Russia, but they did learn from Japan.
Announcement is made from Washing
ton that the sew manual for the sabre
and bayonet drills for the army on
which the officers of the general staff
have been working for some weeks will
soon be given out. Hitherto these man
uals have not called for much skill on the
part of the enlisted men, so much, in
deed, that few of . them, were ever able
to acquire the art of wielding either
weapon in a satisfactory manner. It
is proposed to omit from the new man
ual everything of a fancy fencing char
acter, such as is taught In the private
drill rooms. It is intended that there
ball be a return to the simplest meth
od, and that everything shall be on the
mot practical and useful basis. Both
weapons are Intended for use ia time of
war, especially the bayonet. The offi
cers who have been on duty In Man
churia with the Russian and Japan
arutiea have furnished special reports
on the subject to the general staff, and
wh experi as Captain Iterman J.
Koehler, the mater of tha sword at the
military academy, and Civil Engineer
Cunningham of the navy, who ,is an ex
pert swordsman and who had charge of
the naval academy fencing last year,
have also given valuable advice along
the line indicated. The war depart
ment recently adopted a new type of
sabre, which will be kept with sharp
ened edge and carried in a wooden scab
bard. A new bayonet waa adopted sev
eral weeks ago, based on the results of
the observations of our military attaches
with the troops in Manchuria.
The storm which prostrated hundreds
of buildings in Manila on Wednesday
last was a true tropical cyclone. It be
longs to the same class of disturbances
as those which, late in the summer or
early in the autumn, makes such havoc
in the Went Indies. These hurricanes
form a sea, usually ten or twelve de
grees above the equator, and, if they
live long enough to do so, describe a
parabolie courne,. In the majority of
case they are travelling westward
when first observed. Some of those
which invade the Caribbean sea keep to
the south of Cuba and Jamaica and
reach the Gulf of Mexico before curving
to the northward and northeastward.
Others sweep up near Porto Rico and
then move off toward Bermuda. The ma
jority of them pursue a path lying be
tween these, limits. Inasmuch as Ma
nila is in about the same latitude as
the Wand of Martinique, it seems prob
able that the typhoon which has just
visited the city advanced upon it from
the eastward and crossed the island of
Luzon from the Pacific.
The name of Statistician Hyde re
cently an employe of the agricultural
department, has not been noticed in the
list of arivals by steamship from for
eign ports. And he summer tourist sea
son is almost ended, too.

ilHIIUl!
From Oar Local Druggist, Charles Rog
era.
We want the people of Astoria to
know that we believe the most valuable
preparation of cod liver oil the best
tonic, reconstructor, health-restorer and
strength-creator known to medicine to
day, ia Vinol.
Vinol, be it understood Is not a patent
medicine, as everything is contains is
named on the back label of every bottle.
We guarantee Vinol contains in a con
centrated form all of the) medicinal,
curative and body-building elements of
cod liver oil actually taken from fresh
cods' livers but without a drop of oil
to clog the system, upset the stomach
and retard its work. This is why Vinol
is so far superior to old fashioned cod
liver oil and emulsions.
We do not believe there is a man, wo
man or child in Astoria whom Vinol will
not benefit at this season of the year.
Vinol has become so well known and
so highly regarded by the profession
that it is actually guaranteed by over
two thousand leading druggist of the
United States to create health and
strength for old people, weak, sickly
women and children, nursing mothers,
and after a severe sickness, and for
hacking coughs, chronic colds, bronchitis,
and all throat and lung troubles, also to
create an appetite and make those who
are too thin, fat, rosy and healthy. Try
Vinol on our guarantee. It costs noth
ing if it fails. Charles Rogers, druggist.
