m IS DISCOVERED
Natural and Forceful Flood Tap

FIFTEEN MILES FROM MOUTH
Heavy Explosion Accompanies Its Re
lease Opening Up About Eight Days
AgoIs On Tillamook Shore of River
Means Much for this Section,
A splendid, and apparently inev
haiistuble, supply of natural gas has
been developed on the south bank of the
Nehalem river ami fifteen mile fioin its
mouth.
The discovery was made about eight
days ago, and it is evident the fortu
nate parties rexiornililc for the uncov
ering of the element arc desirous of
keeping the matter quiet for a while,
until eertain advantages of land, rights
and other accessories could be secured,
a perfectly natural wish for those who
were lucky enough to make the find,
mid mnbitioiis enough to equip an out
tit for the iiivcHtjgntion.
The development was made in a txire
nml was accompanied by an explosion
on the Tillamook shore of the Xehalem,
of immense force that scattered the
tool, and paraphernalia of the prospector-,
and the prosecutors themselves for
a few moment-, hut it quickly sub
sided to the normal strength of the
flow pressure, ami it is flowing yet, un
less the people; in charge have faund
a way to check ami regulate it.
This is news of iiiiKirtanee to As
toria, and to nil the coa-t country, ami
means much for the future of the whole
scetiiin between Tillamook and the
mouth of in Columbia, since it may la
the furerunner of other' enterprises in
the utilization of the gas in a hundred
lines of application. It has a germinat
ing power in the unfolding of sequent
mid anahigoiis oiicratjons that is in
calculable, nn.l carries the promise of
collateral advantages hard to measure
from a primary base such as this, tmt
inherent to the discovery all the same.
The Astonan is under obligations to
Mr. Samuel Adair for the information.
and his authority is unequivocal. There
has been a concern operating through
that country for some time past, in
search of oil sign, and v number of
horcs hate twen made in this behalf,
the last eventuating in discovery here
reported.
The AtoiSan will do all it may, in
the near future, to confirm this matter
further, and to get details that will
be very definite mid grateful to ttiis
w hole sect inn upon a subject of such
unqualified virtue and value.
Gail Laughlin. When Mis. Gail
Langlilin entered Welleley College she
gathered around her a clu-s of girls
who were interested in decjicr prob
lems than those discussed by the other
college societies, and they organized the
"Agora," a society for the discussion of
social and economic questions. It soon
btvamc a power under Miss Iiughlin's
leadership, and is now one of the
strongest organ i at ions of the college.
Miss Laughlin has given deep study to
the-e questions, nml presents them in a
most eloquent manner. Be sure to hear
her at the Methodist church tomorrow
evening.
HAS NO JURISDICTION.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22. On a decision
by Judge Somemille, the board of
United States General Appraisers sus
tained a claim filed hy the George Hall
Coal Company of Rochester, N. Y., re
garding the action of the collector of
customs in assessing duty at 50 per
cent ail valorem on certain docking
charges undertaken at a Canadian port.
The Treasury Department contended
that the charges were correctly assessed
and that the board has no jurisdiction.
Judge Somerville however, contradicts
both of the government's contentions
and reverses the action of the custom
house authorities.

ever known. Mrs. D. W. Smith, writes,

medicine for constipation and regulating
the liver I ever used." 60c. Sold by

THE HUNGRY MAN.
The hungry mortal is almost uni
versal (at times). When one is hun
gry he wants something good and wants
it quick, well-served, in comfortable
quarters, and at reasonable cost. That's
what he wants; and if in Astoria, he
goes where he knows he can get satis
faction under all these conditions, that
is, to the Palace Restaurant, on Com
mercial street, opposite the Page build
ing. The stranger going there once,
goes there always. Party, and banquet,
service, on the same satisfactory scale.
THE OLD GOVERNMENT.
The perfection of whisky used in the
