The Atoria initiative that to be come responsible for the early construe- - tion of the railway line, hence to Ttlla nook, will prove an incentive in tlx hastening of the Northern Pacific plan of building from Pe EU southward to Knapptoa. This would give direct and quick transportation between the Gray's Harbor metropolis and the lively city on the south, of us, and make Astoria ' an entre pot for the whole traffic of that belt of eoat country. There is everything to gain and upthing to lose - in the quick handling of this advant ageous improvement, and the quicker jthe better for all concmitt. Pswdling never brings realization. It take snap, and snap means getting-there the first, possible moment. The firt, possible moment is the present moment; and the present moment is just at available as any other and a whole lot tnre so, -'because you cannot tell what instant some one is going to butt in, and "butter" with a snap is jut as effective as far at initiative goes, as any other agency. Take bold, somebody! dubious chain of conjecture, or a half hearted rott. or any old thing to fasten to, as a Ui of debate, it wouM be appreciated, for a one-skied, singl banded, knenie fan fare however no tabla and excellent the theme, become- monotonous and Intra its efllcacy tnti poiiiU Let go munebrtdy, and give us fighting chance! We mean buiml DEATH HO TERROR. The old savin "Law men take the moat pains," has had a curious exempli float km out in St. Louis by the cunfra nf a man who was the princitwli actor in an exhibit ion of supposed nice turrism whkh mystified hundreds last summer. For six days thi man, Oorp- Hausman. lay in a coffin under ground anttarentlv uncouscious, without food or drink, umler meieric influence. Ilauomaa now says he never waa really unconscious, but waa constantly sup plied with fresh air through a tube inserted ostensibly to allow the curious a view of the body lying in the coffin At night food and water were lowered through the tube, and the lid of the coffin, by an ingenious contrivance could be moved in the box enclosing it Hausmaa adniita it required great pa tlcnce to lie there for six days, but say there was no danger or great dimimv fort attached to the task, showing bow much rest some people ran stand. He got $1 a day for the job. To any one but a person with the hobo temlenc this would seem harder than work. THE WHITE SCOURGE. Latterday theork-s of the cure of con sumption scout the idea that it is at ways necessary to send the patient to another climate. One may have eon sumption on the ton of the Kuckie. for the disease primarily is the result of imnrojier food and the breathing of impure air. Cabin recluses on Mount Blanc may have consumption and suf ferers from the tcourage may be cured in almost anv cuuiaie, 11 scienunc treatment is administered, although moist air is not so beneficial as dry air. But air, air, plenty of air, breathed deep into the lungs, ia the prime rs sential. Seggregation, cruel as it is, is becoming known as essential and this theory if generally adopted will put on stop to the practice of sending con' sumptives into the southwest and to the Pacific; where they communicate to others a disease which would spread far less if there were no intercourse The Crest White Scourge carries off more people annually than any other malady; its treatment must be not sen timental but practical. Under the ad vancement of science, it grows steadily less fatal and the day may come when it will disappear almost entirely. FUS EXAMPLE. TO BE COMMENDED. The fact that the (dominant) TVmo- " erlicc party is wlnilly committed to tLfl opening up of t.ic city lias iw-w ' been doubted for a sinjjk Instant; in fact, there is unequivocal evidence on all sides to support the conclusion. This being the ca-e, tliry are to be commenced for pursuing the doctrine along the "lii-enW line they have adopted. Licensed vice, it vi-e practi rally controlled, and controlled vice is ' better than vice unrestrained. It is also a source of some gratification to know that the riis clement of Hip city is to be compelled to "ante" to the public revenue, in In-half of that exceeded limit of municipal debt; that police reevnues are not alone to lie re hahilitat. d. but that the bulk of th vice-money is to find its way to the city treaury through the more repu table channel of the Im.iness office of the city; there i a very practical nV ' licit to be mad.' up. and as bonding the current warrant indebiedne-s is nut of the running, the next, and most fiti.il. le plan is the one to which the Denioeiv'ti. admini.tmtion is now iimleniulilv pledged. O . WELL! WHAT ABOUT IT? In in humble war the Astorim ha endeavored for the last 7c w weeks to place before the reading public the vital question nf building a railway hence to Tillamook, via the NVIialcm, and will continue to keen the enternri-e in the center of local consideration until it is forced to realize tliat the road is not wanted, or that there is no initiative here to build it; but at it goes, it would like to hear from some other sources in relation to the matter, if, even, in the way of direct opposition, for that would give us something to scrap for; nor would it be averse to a word of encouragement in the premises, for that too would furnish a text for further crgument in behalf of the project; or if one one would raise a doubt, or a i "I toss this apple into the air," said Carijle. "The earth rises up to meet it and the atari bow down to do it horn age." Xo more interdependent for posi tion are the earths of this solsr system than the civilized nations of the world A current incident strikingly illustrates this truth. The prices of furs have fal ten because the Russian nobility long the chief patrons of the industry, are too busy saving their own skins to pur chase those of lower animals. In con sequence, the American matron is a gainer and the North American trapper must smoke a cheaper grade of to bacco. HERVE WILL SO IT. Uncle Sam's big steel dry dock, which is likely to be a pretty wet dock before it arrives, is fairly on her way to the Philippines, a journey of 12,0(10 miles. This is the first attempt at transporting D huge a structure so great a distance. nd not a few doubts of the success of the experiment ar expressed. But let us hope Uncle Sam's good luck will fol low him in this matter as in others. Then, too, there's the name of the thing. "Dewey." That should count. At the same time a htijfe ra't nf logs is on its way from the California coast to the lands. After all it is audacity that wins, as Bonaparte was wont to say. und thee feat are certainly audaciou to t lie limit. , A Chicago woman has solved the problem of loafing husbands.

It Is perfectly l.i in t.int .Mr. liowdy n-ver lived in a Portland flat. Men who awore off are thankful that N'ew Year's does not come oftener than every twelve months. A professional cistern cleaner tells that at least once a year each house wife should put a cupful of common baking soda into the cistern. It not only kills all insect life that may tie within the water, but renders it softer and better for all purpose, even for drinking. It will make cleaning un necessary unless trash baa been dropped into the cistern. A gentleman tells of a school teacher In Rochester who had difficulty with several niisrhlevout boys. One day, when one of them had given bar a great deal of annoyance she said to hlmi "I wish I could be your mother for just one week; I would rid you of your naughty disposition. "Very well, I will speak to father about it," promptly re plied the lad. A Helping Hand To Women There, is help (or every woman who suffers from headache, faint nets, depression, backache and other ailments during thote timet when Nature make a heavy demand on ber strength and vitality. Every woman should take IflflLTS PILLS to help her through these trying periods and to keep the system in a normal and healthy condition. The gin jutt entering woman hood, and those of maturer yean, find equal benefit from Beecham't Pills. Taken at the first sign of derangement, they give prompt assistance.
