Tho idea of putting two. or throo, janitor on at the fit v hall of Astoria, 11 phvo of raw folly and cxtrava gnm, and absolutely iiiiiwsiry. There is but a fair amount of woi-k in (lie building for 0110 pood iium and there are plenty f men able to handle it and handle it thoroughly. The As- toviun ha no objtvtion to ollVr to the man now in eharjje. but that he needi one or more assistant i nouene. The buildintr i a small one. it i new, and smooth, and re-pensive ti the lightest and eaiest serviii on the part of any man that puts in a deeent measure of time and muscle and eonseientious at tention. The fart that the Water Com mission and the Publio Library are but ex-otl'nio elements of tlie munieipal melange, is a poor pretext for the de nial of janitor service in their quarter' and is an equally lame plmo of admin istrative judgment. The salary paid is ample as salaries go, and the only thing to do i to pass the order placing the whole building under the care of the one janitor and seeing to it that In fills the bill 01' promptly substitute him with a man who will. The p.'ople are tired of this hullabaloo about a bagatelle. CONCRETE BLOCK RESIDENCE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O WEATHER, O O O O Western Oregon and Washing O O ton Fair and warm. O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO "THE MOAN OF THE BAR." The Columbia river bar is a-erting itself again, in spite of jetty and gen erous appropriation, and the substance of its lament is for more water on its crest. What the jetty will do in the fulliKss of time and completion is, as yet, utterly beyond estimate of the lay mind, and perhaps quite as indetermin able in quarters alleged to be better posted; but, the living and apparent fact is, that the bar is shallowing badly and at a rate that will produce com mercial stagnation for this and all trib utary ports in a few months if some thing very practical and effective, though temporary, is not done. Of course, there is no appeal from the con elusions of the government and its en gineers on a subject of this sort, and no attempt is made to controvert those conclusions. The only fact dealt with here, is that immediate and potent steps of some kind be taken to reduce the menace that is growing daily, and obtruding itself most threateningly de spite the elaborate, costly, and infinite ly log-drawn program underway in the federal department, and which, to date, has not yielded the permanent advant age of a single foot of water to the good. 0 s THE CAMPAIGN OPENED. The address of Dr. James Withy combe, Republican candidate for the governorship of Oregon, at Corvallis on Tuesday night, was a strong and pat ent expression of Republican principles end purposes, and challenges the earnest consideration of every citizen, without regard to political affiliation, in the state. The real merit of the plea made by Dr. Withycombe is that it emanates from a man absolutely true to the first, last and. least conclusion be offered. He Vill be the first to urge the enforcement of every declaration he ha; made in the interest of good and healthful gov ernment, and this, assurance is of In estimable Talue to the party. There is nothing cheap in James Withycombe in any sense, and especially in the moment of his highest and best aspiration. He will make an ideal governor and he will be elected. His one invocation to the party spirit, in hi-v demand that "Republicans shall vote the Republican ticket," is a cardinal precept of the great speech and will meet with an answer that will put the Republican majority in Oregon beyond all chance of diminution in the future. He offers a clean and wholesome program to the men of his party and to every honest citizen in the commonwealth; one in which the pride of party, of state, of society, and industrial success are all hermetically interwoven with the honor of Oregon; and the man who fails to respond to this summons for the ex ercise of the highest and most compen satory expression of his citizenship, is, indeed, past all appeal and immune from the effects that are acceptable and grateful to the universal run of man kind. But do not forget that James Withycombe will be elected governor of Oregon and by Republican votes at that. A POOR TITLE. Mr. Theodore Krenier's modesty is to be commended, but when he ays that his Earthquake play, now in rehearsal, was partly built before the earthquake, it is too plain that he is seeking to re lieve the feeling of chagrin which his enterprise will arouse in other play wrights. Mr. Kivmer says that he was building his play about San Krancico partially from material he found in the vi-.it of the Taft party, and that he has merely changed the third act. so it will represent the following scenes: The Earthquake, The Flight from the Doomed City, The Holocaust. And the play is to be called "The Last Days of San Francisco," which, saving his pres ence, are some centuries further ahead than those of any man now living. Ex.

The bathroom has a WORTH REMEMBERING. It has been said, "taking life through and through," the larger part of sorrow and heart-ache it has known has not come through great sorrow, but through little needless hurts and unkindnesses, not so much through the ordering of Providence as through the misorderings of humanity. Oh, the days that are spoiled by smaller hurts! Spoiled le cause somebody has a foolish spite, a wicked mood, an unreasonable prejudice that must be gratified and have its way no matter whose rights, plans or hearts- are hurt by it. We all realize that this life is full of sorrow. We are here to "heal the wounds and bind the broken heart," and the only way we can do this is by being kind, loving and sympathetic. Heart-sickness is much harden to help than hunger and poverty. Show intere-t in others, try to help them, go out of your way to lighten the bur dens of the heavily laden. Don't hesi tate to express your kindly thoughts. If you are strong, then be merciful.

As he is able to let Witte go, the world will hasten to congratulate the Czar on this evidence that he is not broke, at present. 0 China has agreed to pay the expenses of the British Thibetan expedition. It sometimes costs to save the Oriental face, but the Orientals seem to think it is worth while. Evidently fire insurance companies are not a beneficent special Providence. It is simply a case of insured property owners chipping in for one another. If the Democrats do run Hobson for President, he may not have it all his own way. There's Hoch, of Kansas, coming strong. The explanation is jokered, of the tragic troubles in the coal region, that "the state constabulary irritated the foreigners." But really we cannot be expected in this country to modify our administration of law to please the sus ceptibilities of aliens. It is for the for eigners! who come hither to adapt them selves to our system. If they do that they will not be "irritated" by it. 0 It is all right to preach that a man should love his neighbor as himself it sounds so good and p la tonic But it is not always possible. Take for instance the man who has planted a fine garden and his neighbor ha chick ens which he persists in permitting to run at large. How can the man with the garden love that neighbor as him self? It simply can't be done, so long 1 as those chickens are not shut up. fl '!-' I cnAMfcea fl III let. v.av fl aooe- 2 SECOND FLOOB PLAN. basement contains a laundry, with sta tionary tnbs, furnace room and coal bins.

"Yes, I could," said John. "Very well. What wages will yon nsk?" "Twopence a day." The bargain was closed on the spot.
