OVERDOING IT.
THAT HOTEL TENDER.
Astoria has done herself no pood by
the rank indifference with which she has
turned down that $100,000 hotel propo
sition. The mere giving of a suitable
site for the house, was a small bonus to
pay for the immense advnntae that
would have accrued from the investment.
the establishment, and the bringing of
new blood, and new money into the city,
Such offers as was made through Mayor
Wise do not, as a general thing, go beg
ging for acceptance. It was an irre

POLISH CLUB HOUSE.
NKW YORK, dune 7, A committee
representing wealthy IVIUh business
men of Now ork was npiHunted vector
day to select a locution and arrange for
the building of a popular clubhouse on
the east side for the use of Polish resi
dents, to cost upward of $00,000. At the
same time a local committee appointed
by the Polish National Alliance, which
lias its headquarter in Chicago, and
numbers over IIOO.OOO memlwra, is ar
ranging for the building in the neighbor
hood of the Mattery of an emigration
house for the temporary care of Polish
immigrants. The house, with the land
which it will occupy, will cot I7.V000
The Polish national home is to be tne
name of the new club house. The move
ment to erect it was organized in l!'02
It will be the home of .108 P0IUI1 so
cieties.
. There is a fast growing sentiment in
this city against the victimizing plan of
the fire insurance companies to impose
the 25 per cent advance on the old prem
ium rates in existence here, and most
merchants feel that it would be cheap
er to burn up than pay the thieving
toll. It is not that Astoria has done
anything to invite the excess; she has
not an atom more risk than she ever
had; no policies of government have
been adopted that warrant the new and
oppressive rate; it is a. cold-blooded
method of securing money to pay the
losses at San Francisco, what of them
are to be paid; in other and plainer
words, it is nothing more or less than
a well-considered hold-up and should be
treated as such by every property own
er and business man in the city.
CLATSOP'S COURT HOUSE.
Is it not about time the taxpayers of
this county we getting next to the
policies of the county court in relation
to the new court, house for this county!
Or is the whole scheme, with its ex
travagant cost to be left utterly to the
commissioners? It takes money to pay
the constant stream of big bills that are
ieing paid out of the treasury here
ivery month, and those, whose money
is involved in this endless outgo, had
better review the situation before the
county is wholly committed to some
thing far beyond her requirements and
her resources. It will soon be too late!
Among possible patients for nerve

EIGHTY-FOUR TO SIX.
With eighty-four solid republican
votes to six democratic votes in the
Oregon legislature there should be but
little left for the "non-partizans" to
gloat over at adjournment. The ascend
ency of Mr. Chamberlain in June, 1906,
will not compare favorably with the les
sons that he will have learned by March,
1907. His "personality" ends at the
doors of the capitol. Any pronounced
success he may achieve next winter will
be by the grace republican forbearance,
and unless the spirit of the dominant
party is wholly unloyal, he will count
his office a mere semblance of power, a
hallow sham, and a grievous disappoint
ment. !Y, . 0
"7 THE SEAWALL PROBLEM.
It is Bincerely hoped the conference
to be held today between the Seawall
committee and Colonel Wiillard Young,
the Portland engineer, will be produc
tive of something tangible in the way of
plans and costs. The question is a large
one, and means a great deal to the city,
and the committee is to be commended
for the deliberateness with which it is
acting; and the hope is abroad that the
exceeding care it is taking, may redound
to the security and permanency of the
project, when it shall be set on foot.

WE WISH HIM JOY.

Democratic conventions in Missouri
are indorsing Mr. Bryan as a Presiden

The drydoek Dewey has been sighted
in the Indian Ocean and has reported all
well. How it would behave in a typhoon
is not altogether certain, but it is made

be able to do so. In due time it may be
expected to reach its destination in the
islands which made its name famous.
The senate, has done excellently well
in restoring the full amount of the ap
propriation for the rebuilding of West
Point. That historic institution has, all
told, cost the country only the minutest
fraction of the indispensable benefits it
has conferred upon the nation, and no
right minded American will grudge the
expenditure of all that may be needed
to raise it to the highest standard of
efficiency.

The Vary Best Remedy for Bowel
Trouble.
Mr. M. F. Borroughs, an old and well-
known resident of Bluffton, Ind., siyi:
"I regard Chamberlain' Colic. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as the very best
remedy for bowel trouble. I make this
statement after having used the remedy
in my family for several years. I am
never without it." This remedy is al
most to be needed before the summer U
over. Why not buy it now and be pre
pared for such an emergency? For sale

tVlsIn of th Sarin About Krttlac
tha River cm Klrt.
Sometimes whoa n person wnuts to
make mi unpleasant remark In n pleas
ant sort of way about n dull tray he
will say, "That boy will never net tli
river on flro." Now, that Is nil very
true, for even the smartest man In tli
world could never sot n stream of wa
ter on lire, and so perhaps many of
you who hare heard this expression
have wonderod what la meant by set
ting tho river on flro.
In England nmuy, ninny years ago,
before the millers hnd machinery for
sifting flour, each family was obliged
to gift Its own flour. For doing this
It was necessary to use a sieve, called
a teniae, which was no fixed that It
could be turned round and round In
the top of n barrel. If It was turned
too fast tho friction would sometimes
cause It to catch Are, ami as It was
only the snmrt, hardworking boya who
could make It go bo fast tho people
tot Into tho way of pointing out liny
boy by saying that he would never set
the teniae on fire. After awhile these,
sieves went out of use, but as there
were still plenty of stupid hoys lu the
world people kept on saying that they
would never set the temse on fire.
Now, the name of the river Thame
1b pronounced exactly like tho word
teniae, and so after many years those
persons who had never awn or heard
of the old fashioned sieve thought that
"setting the teniae on fire" meant set
ting the river Thames on fire. Thin
expression Invame very popular and
traveled far and wide until the people
Uvlng near other streams did not see
why It was any harder for a slothful
boy to set the Thames on Are than any
other river, and so the name of the
river was dropped, and everybody after
that simply said 'the river," meaning
the river of his particular city or town,
and that Is how It Is that people today
talk of setting the river on fire.
ROUSED THE AUDIENCE.
A Mlnlnc Camp Melodrama With mm
t nriperfrd (Umax.
Joseph Jefferson used to say that hlB
career came very near Mug nipped In
the bud In a small western town. lie
at that time was a member of a small
pioneer company which progressed by
means of three "bull teams" from one
mining on m p to nnotlicr. They were
always lienrtlly received by the min
ers and cowboys, who readily paid the
$5 in gold required to witness tbelr
performance. Mr. Jefferson was the
traditional melodramatic villain and Id
the third act was supposed to kidnap
the child." The supposed mother,
hearing Its cries, rushes upon the scene
Just as he Is atmut to escape and fires
a fruitless shot from n revolver.
I'pon this particular occasion nil hud
gone well until this scene was reached,
and the audience, many of whom had
never before seen any kind of theatric
al performance, sat us If spellbound.
At the crack of the mother's revolver,
however, the spell was rudely broken.
'By heaven, she missed him!" a red
shlrted miner In the front row shout
ed, drawing his own six shooter and
leaping to bis feet. "Round to the
back door and head him off 'foe he
can git a boss, boys!" he yelled, and,
following blin, half the audience stam
peded for the exit.
The excitement was finally allayed
by tho "mother" and the villain ap
pearing Hjand In hand before the cur
tain and the manager's explanation of
the situation. When the performance
had been concluded the audience Insist
ed on paying another admission price
and having an Immediate repetition
from beginning to end. Success Magazine.
Begin Again Today.
Emerson said he was an endless ex
perimenter, with no past at his back.
This Is the secret of finding every day
new and delightful. To be bound down
by what transpired yesterduy, to as
sume that things must certainly be so
because they have always been so, Is
to limit life to narrow confines. The
Joy of existence Is to tackle every day
as a fresh problem. Who knows what
It may bring forth? Nothing prevents
as from living It In an entirely new
way, as If yesterday bad never been
and tomorrow were not. To be ham
pered by no precedent, cowed by no
fear, Is to strike out on fresh trails
sod find new delight dally. Exchange.
Card Marks.
It Is conjectured by some writers on
the subject that the marks upon the
cards designating the four kinds In a
pack were originally symbolical and
Intended to signify the different class
es of society. According to this suppo
sition, the hearts represented the cler
gy, spades the nobility, some old packs
of cards bearing a sword or lance head
instead of a spade; clubs the serfs and
diamonds the burghers or citisen
classes.
V Early.
"The boss asked me what made me
look so tired," said Galley, the clerk,
"and I told him I was up early this
morning."
"Buhl" snorted the bookkeeper. "You
never got up early In your life."
"I didn't say that I got up. I said I
waaup."
