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

moment is the present moment; and
the present moment is just at available

as far at initiative goes, as any other

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 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.

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.
