O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE COLUMBIA BAR. The mighty Columbia is asserting it self again, despite the millions of money invested by the government at the jet ties. The tremendous flood is build ing, and unbuilding, at the behest of impulses and forces not yet within the purview of human correction. The bar is shallowing on one course; and deep ening on another, especially on the channel that makes to the south and west and diametrically against the jetty work. There is noth ing to be surprised at in thee condi tions; enormous barriers of this sort are not dispelled nor regulated in a year or two; the history of harbor im provement the world over demonstrates the uncertainty of tidal current and the unreliability of all methods of re straint The forces at work at the mouth of the Columbia are not of the simpler sort and their baffling agencies are not amenable to the ordinary plans of restriction and guidance. It is hard to conceive that the cultured wisdom of a government and the trained forces it brings to the solution of these great enigmas, are at fault; indeed, it is not yet possible to declare with any cer tainty that the jetty is a failure, nor is such an assumption under considera tion here; but, there is ground for the conclusion that the work already done must be amplified by the construction of a northern jetty to make the one on the south at all effective. Pending this additional work, it is beyond all contro versy that the great channel must be kept open by the simpler, yet tempo rary, expedient of a powerful dredger, and every influence will be brought to bear for the ordering of the Chinook to the scene and the keeping her there for as long a season as possible. 0 WHAT? In the light of all the talk of essen tial improvement in the fire depart ment, of the imperative need of addi tional fire apparatus, of the lesson taught at the Astor street fire of last Wednesday, there are lots of people in the city a-king why no word in this behalf was uttered at the council meet ing on Monday night. And on top of the mayor's proclamation, backed by the endorsement of the Committee on Fire and Water, to! What? keep alive the ujory of the tremendous era and the men who made it unforget table. 0 THEN AND NOW. In the year ISiiti it rvipiiivd. on an average -47 hums of hand lalntr to produce A00 bushel of potatoes; in 1S!." it reijuired an average of only eight v-six hour, consisting of machine l;ilr alnuM entirely. To product' fifty bushels of shelled corn and then cut the stalks into suit able fodder, reiitiied S-S hour of hand lalnir in IS.V1; in 1S!5 machinery did the same work in about thirty-four hour. The production of fifty bushel of wheat . in 1 S:it. required an average of UK) hour of hand labor; in ltl seven and one-half hour of machine Itvlx'r ammiplUhed the same reult. And so on. down the list, from bar ley to tomatoes and from hay to rice. Modem machinery ha everywhere clip ped off the long, hard hours that our father endured, and the farmer of to day i easily able to produce result which would seem like magic to the old time man with the hoe. Surely the world moves! EDITORIAL SALAD. New York now has SO-cent ga and a law-suit. 0 In England a man can take out an in surance policy against twins. Onion juice is said to be a cure for appendicitis That disease will now ceas to be either fashionable or in terest inj:. In this emergency the government labors undr the disadvantage of hav ing no regularlv organized bureau of earthquakes. 0 The value of the automobiles export ed from France during January was 12.046.000, or more than double the total for January, 1905. 0 A person suffering from an ordinary case of consumption throws off daily seven billion germs. One of these germs properly lodged in your body will event ually kill you unless you kill him. 0 The general opinion of eismologieal experts as to the cause of the San Francisco earthquake sems to be that Vesuvius, at least, can establish an alibi. PASSING SWIFTLY. According to ''Corporal" Tanner the old veterans of the civil war are cross ing the border line at the rate of ."000 a month. This is sail, yet inevitable; life has its span, and the brave young fellows of that dread time, are. for the most part, the halting and broken old men of the present. As they pas, it may be of sterling comfort to them to know that the faith of a nation has made it impossible for the memory of their cause and their work, to pass with them. History, records, monu ments, relics, and the imperishable consciousness of a great people will Mavor Dunne's immediate municipal ownership" has been converted into "ultimate municipal ownership." The mavor's illusions are beginning to give place to facts. o On a plot of less than three acre., near ParK which rents for $500 a year, is raised 250.000 pound of vegetables annually. The irrigationisls and inten sive farmers have hold of a large pro position. 0 The carpenter is out again with his hammer. He's a knocker that counts. Seventy ships were completely wreck ed along the German coasts last year and 35G were damaged. 0 That London doctor i quite right in stating that fast automobiling and the drink habit are akin. Both mean quick consumption. Both mean quick con sumption of gasoline. 0 Almost everything radically new in the negligee line has gone over bodily to empire styles, getting that snort waited effect in ways that rob it of its "wrappery" look end transform it to a model of grace. Randolph Milboume, the Washington, D. C, music teacher, who wears wom an's clothes, has got around legal ob jections by wearing a large silver badge bearing the inscription, "Randolph Mil- bourne. I am a Mau." To shut out an objectionable view from side or rear windows mix a little mastic varni-h and white lead in equal quantities and apply to the inside of the panes with an old paint brush. It will be a good imitation of ground glass and will wear a long time. A Chicago professor recently pre dicted that the industry of the twenty first century would be controlled by women; and Supreme Court Justice David A. Brewer, in an address before Vasser, suggested that "TJie next half century may extend full suffrage throughout the union." Oranges are likely to be somewhat scarcer and dearer in Eastern markets. Los Angeles and other places are send ing carloads of the fruit to San Fran cisco, where it is distributed freely among the homeless. That is a splen did example of the charity which begins at home and extend to its next door neighbor. It i aid that medical men ore loud in the criticism of the wearing by women of the long glove which has be come n fad and in connection with the wearing of the i-leeve bauglit or brace let to keep them from wrinkling. It 1 claimed that varicose vein will be the result, However, Dame Fashion i not liable to change the prevailing fashion on account of the medical profe-sion's opinion.; The following time table should be piVM'm'd by every mother, a it i often tt source of the greatest anxiety to know whether or not a child will develop i dicne after having Iteen ex posed to it.

We must not be too hard upon Adam that, on such a brief acquaintance, he should have been prejudiced and sus picious as to woman, and that he ct the blame of their mutual iu upon Eve, saying, "It was the woman Thou gavet me!" Time ha changed all that. She is now hi mot intimate friend, hi alter ego, hi complement, hi soul uplifter; and if he were asked today who it wa that persuaded him to eat of th. fruit of the tree of holine. he would an-wer, even as before, but t!ii time without the stain and shame of cowardly equivocation, yet truthfully end joyouly, "It wa the woman Thou gavet me!"
