No matter who builds it; no matter where it is erected; no matter the style and scope of it; Astoria must hare a new and up-to-date hotel! No one in the city denies the urgent need of a fine house here; that is beyond dispute. Foreign capital, home capital, any old capital, no matter what nor whose capital, so lone as it is built! It must be done, sooner, or later; and better late, than never. It is the nest good thing to come, whatever the source, and the man or men who have the nerve and the stuff to accomplish it, will reap the bene fit. The city is actually craving a real hotel. It would be of immense service to the city and the city would contri bute to the house and its business, and the whole scheme would be a distinct civdit to the City-by-the-Sea, whereas, its continued absence is .a constant and. inexcusable reproach. Get in and do something for the most needed accessory to the communal life of Astoria! 0 jfc BECdjiniG AN OLD STOKY. I ' ' Poor old Russia is completely sub merged in the elements of riot and sedi tion, loss, and suffering, and the myriad ills of interecine war-fare, with never a word of cheer or hopefulness! Why does not the Cut do something to re lieve the situation? Once in a while he says something that indicates that he is still alive, but he never does anything that means business. If he would but summon the spirit of the race he stands for and thrust himself to the fore-front, for good or evil, the world would cotton to him and give him the glad hand, and rank him among the men of the age. But his negative, sullen, spiritless, cow ardly inaction is becoming the by-word of all the peoples and he is regarded the world over as a cipher. He might die the idol of the Russians if he would shake off the lethargy that is upon him, soar to the head of the government and take command of his superb heritage, free his people and put them on the plane of happiness. Such things have been done, and the world is ready for the next glorious exhibition and quietly hoping it may come from down-trodden Russia. 0 MUNICIPAL HOUSE-CLEANING. "When, in the course of human events," a city like Astoria has ac cumulated a surfeit of questionable char acter in its purlieus and it is necessary, for the moral health of the community, to abate the congestion, the Louisiana method of marking and herding the worst and shipping them out in a hunch at the expense of the people, is a system that commends itself bv reason of its thoroughness and finality. It is certain ly more conclusive than the resort to police court penalties that are invar iably laid out in jail at a far greater expense than the cost of transportation would be, and the rigor and exaction of the "exporting" style, is a lesson not soon forgotten by even the toughest of criminals. They rarely ever come hack, and they pass the word of warning all along the line of their professional ac quaintance. It might be tried here and now with very complete and satisfactory results if it be done smartly and thor oughly, with no partiality shown to pets of either sex. Think it over, gentlemen, of the police commission! 0 TRADES-UNIONISM. What is the purpose of trades-unionism in the Northwest, anyway t Is it so eager for advantages that it will tear down the growing prosperity of the land and the day? 'Does it not know it own limitations? Doe it want to build up a counter-organitation among men it i impoverishing all over the country? Are there no leaders to counsel moderation and exact less extravagant operations on the part of the unions? The casts in point, Just now, are the sailors and the shincle-worker. both of whose strikes are unjust and untimely. The further prosecution of these strikes on mere ground of greed will set up a re action against the federated trades that will cripple them sadly for the good they may do in the future, when the efficacy of their power for the accomplishment of real service will be practically destroyed, It is one thing to strike against rank injustice and indiscriminate denial of what is due the worker, and quite an other to attempt the destruction of flourishing trades when they are paying good standard wageg.on reasonable scales, just for the sake of attaining to a wage that is not earned. Have a care. gentlemen! 0 000000000000000000 0 EDITOSAL SALAD. 0 000000000000000000 About now physicians are beginning to treat "electric fan colds." For already the few days of intense heat made it needful to start the little fans whirring, and woe nnto those who sat in the im mediate draught thereof. While the fan is one of the few things that make life bearable in hot weather, it is, according to physicians, a much-abused conven ience. Placed where it will stir up the air in the room without blowing directly upon you, it is a good thing. But stood on a shelf where it blows directlv down on head or neck, of where it fans via lently on throat or ehest, it is a bad thing, and one of the most potent causes of hot weather colds, bronchial and ca tarrhal troubles. Modem Therapeutic!. I want to a modern doctor to Warn what It waa waa wrong. 14 lately been off my fodder, and Ufa waa no mors a song. Ha felt ot my puis as they an do; ha gated at my outstretched tongue j Ha took off my coat and weakit and bark' ed at eaoh wheeslng rung. Ha fed me a email (lass ponatalk with nsurea upon the aide.

Tea; thus salth the modern doctor: "Tra dition be double durnedl What the oldsters knew waa nothing com pared to tne tnmga we ve learned. There'a nothing In this or that thing that certain In every caae Any more than a stogie bonnet's becom ing to every face.

Then batten them good and tight And swallow the same old fetid air Through all the snoosesome night Just quit whatever you do do And do whatever you don't, For whatever you don't do may agree with you As whatever you do do don't." -Strickland W. OUUlan In Judge. l'mrsoable. In washing an organdy dress so that it will retain its stiffness and looks as good as new, use pure white soap arid warm water, 'if the material is colored soak first in salt and water. Do not rub the material, as it causes the delicate threads to separate. Rinse very thor oughly and starch with clear, raw starch. John H. Doris, who owns a large farm in Saline county, HI., will not allow bird of any kind to be killed on his land. He has set aside a number of acres to grow up in underbrush, in which all kinds of birds, especially quail, will find a home through the winter, and in the summer the place is alive with birds. Mr. Doris claims that hawks do very little damage in comparison with the good they do in killing field mice and rats. There are hundreds of quail on his farm and they have become' so tame that they come to his door yard for feed. So carefully does he watch these birds that he can tell where nearly every bird nests in tne brooding season. 0 Ibsen is said never to have written anythng unless he had a tray of little toys on the desk before him. Among these toys were a wooden bear, a wooden figure of Memphisto pheles, two cats, one playing a fiddle, and some cotten flannel rabbits. We do not note any 'mention of bologna sausage snakes or bad dreams in canned goods. 0 There is a probability that, the $5 greenbacks will soon be reinforced by goldbacks of the same denomination. When these are supplemented by clean backs for all paper currency there will be caused for general congratulation. 0 A waiter in New York has received a legacy of $200,000 and has given up Ms job and gone to Austria, to claim it. The man evidently prefers ease to wealth. If he had continued as a waiter he might have become a millionaire. Now that a London doctor has diag nosed the chauffeur's desire for inordi nate speed as a disease, allied to ths inebriate's thirst, we can under stand why the court always imposes the gold cure. 0 The kaiser's vigorous declaration that he is determined to maintain peace con vinces one that he will keep his word even if he has to wage war to do it. 0 , It was Emerson who assured us that to be great was to be misunderstood. It is suggested that Mr. Roosevelt haai this consolation, 0 A LESSON IN TRANSLATION. Mrs. Smith, a teacher in one of the schools in the city, gave Johnnie Wil son three words to look up at home in the dictionary. They were as follows: Transparent, transcontinental and transatlantic." He was lazy, so he said to his father: "8a, pa, What does transcontinental mean t" "It means to cross the continent, but don't ak me anything more." "But, pa, what does transatlantic mean?" "It means to cross the Atlantic; but didn't I tell you to keep still?" "Say, pa, does transparent mean a cross parent?" Miss HippoMr. Monk la a multimil lionaire and the catch of the season.

"As a matter of fact, the crops are suffering." "On account of the weather?" "On account of the weather." "Bright sunshine, following copious showers. Do crops suffer in such weather?" "Naturally crops are bound to suf fer in any weather which makes fish bite. If these conditions continue, we shan't raise much this year." And the farmer shook bis head again and sighed heavily.
