Oregon, under the act of CWress of March 3, 1879. CURRENT HOLIDAYS Vestmiay was St. Patrick s Day in tl. ,.., and a lowly morninp it was in Astoria. too. Kxwpt in uio nup cities ot tho rtumtry where the repre sentatives of "Oul.l Ireland" an overwhelmingly numerous, there is rarely muoh notice taken of this anniversary, hut there is always eunuch taken of it everywhere to foree it lefore the public conscious ness and this is alriirht. Uvause nnythinr strictly Irish is sure to have an elementally jolly relish to it. A savins; bit of humor that takes the edtre off the nerve tension so hideously apparent on all sides these days. O INSOLENT HRAYADO- "Jud?e" Andrew Hamilton, the swaerinir in surance money manipulator, who hid in the purlieus of Europe until the investigating committees of Xew York had adjourned, and death had removed the wit nesses that might have put him in the "pen." re turns to the national metropolis with a big- mouthful of insolent bravado and if his gall holds out. will succeed in proving himself whiter than the paper his dirty transactions weee not recorded upon. 0 , FALLS LUCKILY This day of the calendar is the sixty-ninth anni versary of the birth of Ex-President drover Cleve land. The people of the United States will observe it by quietly resting from all labor, attending Divine services and other peaceful demonstrations, not for getting a pertinent prayer or two by way of thanks giving for certain obvious escapes time ;uid dwindl ing majorities have provided. Astoria joins in the Two little Mullah girls, Petty and Polly, accord ing to "The Commercial" of that city, mot on an enue on a recent Sunday and exchanged confid ences, for they were old friends and had lived in the same block many years. Said Petty, casually yet re- llcctively; "'Polly, this is the Lord's Pav." "Oh. no, it isn't." said Polly, with vivacity. "This is Mary s day and next Sunday is Pridget's." 0 : Commenting upon up,.n the death of Pavid Smith a St. Louis man, of hypochondriasis, last week the Albany "Journal" says: "He imagined himself to be dying and he hnallv succumbed. With an imagi nation like that Smith should have written a his torieal novel." Evidently the paragraph was not penned by the book editor, who would know that for writing an historical novel imagination is wholly unnecessary. o The most interesting figure at the recent unveiling 111 I aris ot a monument to Alfred de Mussct the French poet, was the old governess of the poet. Her name is .Mile. Adele ( olm, and she is a nonagenarian She was too intirtn to walk alone, and had to be sup ported to her place. She is writing recollections of the past. o The onslaught of the retiring president of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals upon those who dared to take an interest in seeing how the wh.vls went round in his office is natural, perhaps, but in calling them "jackals" he has at least given them one claim to his tender mer cies.

EXCELLENT EFFECT The Farmers' Institute, which by plenty of hard work on the part of those who were inspired to get it up, has made an excellent impression on the com munity even if those for whom it was directly intend ed have failed to use it as was expected. Every phase of the two day session has leeti of distinct value; there have been some splendid and practical show ings made m an illustrative and technical way. that will not be lost because but a handful of farmers have learned the lessons laid down : "The word will go out the wisdom of the hour will pa.ss current over the country, the counsels imparted will find their way to other receptive minds and hands and there will be many successes traceable to the institute held in this city in March, 1906. 0 BUT ONE MONTH MORE The people of Oregon have yet thirty-one days in which to consider the claims of the thousand and one aspirants for public office in their respective baili wicks and the state at large, and it behooves them to begin a deliberate inquiry into the relative merits 01 those who are seeking nomination, in order that when the day of primary election shall dawn, thev will have made safe and perspicuous choice of men who are to be offered up on the altar of political evanishxnent, or enthroned in the "seats of the mighty." - -0- The wireless methods of communication nm. mav. ing more rapid progress in Germany than pIwwW A new station has been established at Oberschon- weide which will place Berlin and Dresden in com munication over a distance of 111 miles.
