Professor Gamer is going into the inner depths of the African forest to study the language of the monkey. He does not propose to isolate himself from all his kind, and is taking the best of his own species with him for company, a young lady. They are to have separata steel cages in which to live while they are studying the idioms of the Simian tongue, and will live there in the very midst of the apes and baboons and lessar lights of monkeydom. If they only stay long enough (and the probabilities ar that they will), they ought to acquirj some new graces of mind and body from which to coin Simian simojeoni, as it were, when they come home, The fact that a, Jpung woman is going out on such. k quesl, and that darner consents to take her, is proof positive that the trip is made none too soon and that they are going direct to a thoroughly congenial habitat. Any old bab can give them pointers on good sense, and it is likely will contribute a few! . . .X i o NONE OF THEM SAFE. Men born and raised on the Pacific Coast for the past half century have come to look on Wells, Fargo & Com pany as one of the great, unimpeachable corporations that were above and beyond the nasty and vicious phases of modern financiering; safe from the current at tacks and exposures and rottenness that characterizes the twentieth century in stitution; and now his pleasant regard for the fine old organization, in whic'a the romance of the Slope, and the days of the Argonauts, is centered, is blasted, and he is forced to admit it is just as the others are, no better, no worse, but quite as bad. Thus do our cherished ideals fall, and the lingering elements of our pride go glimmering! If Harrimaa stays out here much longer he will de bauch our very railroads! o ALWAYS A SCAPEGOAT! ' The cashier of the gutted Chicago bank has been overhauled and put under the inquisitorial pressure of the police office there, and, as usual, he is utterly and absolutely innocent, the entire weight and curse of the tremendous larceny of other people's money, resting solely up on the absent shoulders of President Stensland. There is nothing like a fugi tive scapegoat on which to cast thi burden of our iniquity. When Stensland shall return and tell all he knows, the bulk of the disgraceful robbery of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank will be well distributed, however much may fall to his share, and the cashier will probably find there is some of it coming to him. The intimacy of business relation between such officers of such a banking concern as that, is too close to permit either to elude the blame that must be shared for the wrong-doing done in knowledgeable concert. A Kansas man published the declara tion that the water below a dam was softer than that above it, and after every scientist in the state had taken a fall out of him, explained that the fall over the dam broke the water. The regatta committee will have to give a pretty aottnd reason for its laches, if it permits the forthcoming amateur championship content between Ed. Gosio and At. Pape, the famous scullers, to be pulled off anywhere else than at Astoria during the coming festival. It is one of the strongest carda in a sporting sense, and in a pecuniary way. that has offered itelf, and there are thousands of people here who will be badly disappointed if it goe to some other water-course than ours. It would be the making of the regatta, besides putting Astoria squarely in the field for many more such events in the future. It i not yet too late, and the hope i abroad in the city that it will fall to us to witness and recorl three weeks hence. 0 ' THAT NORTH BANE ROAD. Jim IliU'a surveyors and right-of-way men are working like heavers all along the north bank of the Columbia river, from Kalanm westward, and HarrimanV surveyors and right-of-way men are tear ing thing loose from llwaeo eastward up the same bank. And the real fun of the situation lies at the meeting point of the unfriendly and aggressive corp. wherever that, may occur. Now if one of the magnates would Klip across the river and quietly buy the "A. 4 C", the solu tion of their quarrel would be forthcom ing in a single moment, and the realty boomers on the northshore would reali! just -how much dependence i to be placed in the reputed purposes of a railway grabber, and so would r. b.'s victims! o COOS BAY, OR BUST! Coos Bay is to get the Drain exten sion within the year. This is the lat est news from the Southern Oregon pro ject of Mr. Ilarriman, and it comes with all the gusto and aplomb and whatever else is supposed to accompany such items, and thus another road is headed for the Pacific If this goes on, there may be another railway era in Oregon, for the pushing of one system entails the operation of other project all around it and 1907 may witness some radical changes in the transportation maps of this state. We trust it may include the finished enterprise of Mr. Hammond'3 line into the Tillamook country, south from Seaside. We need that as much is Coos Bay needs the Drain outlet It's intakes we wtnt. We can furnish outlet propositions that all the world may re quire at a moment's notice. Q i ......... bododoodooobdooooo O EDIT0RAL SALAD.

Let us go slow and live long. The Japanese prefer soft wheat flour from the United States to the flour made in Canada. o When a work horse is sold, a good collar that the horse is used to working in should always be fln important part of the trade. o "Butter Making on the Farm," is the title of Bulletin 241, United States De partment of Agriculture. Every home butter-maker should send for it. o We are judged by results not by empty longings and aspirations that get no where. One small result is worth heaps of grand, soggy intentions that never get beyond the threshold of a lazy brain. o Congressman Gamier of Texas repre sents the greatest goat raiding regio i in the world.

It is a false economy to make children earn their bread too soon. While at school, the history, geography, grammar, physiology and natural philosophy they learn, constitute the knowledge that will be their capital when they enter on ths business of life. 1 Who Gets the Most Out of Life? Not the wealthiest, not the most learned, nor the idler but the man who has good health and works for his living. This truth is trite, but not trivial. Every man should guard his health as his most valuable posses sion. The more so because health is easier to retain than regain. Keep your grip on health by regular exercise, reasonable care in eating and requisite sleep. Take Beecham's Pills occasionally, to tone the stomach and keep the liver and bowels in good working order. And don't worry. Observe these simple rules and you will agree that the one who gets the most from life is The Man Who Uses mim. pills old Bmywto la Bona. 1 tad SSo. w4 STARTHEATER P. GEVURTZ, Mgr. MR.
