Among the really big things which Astoria has in hep public mind by way of valuable enterprises for the immense and lasting benefit of the community, is the building of the seawall along her several miles of frontage. It is the very largest things she has undertaken in years, and calls for the utmost skill in engineering and financing. The next, nearest and largest interest in this ex traordiary improvement is held by the listeria & Columbia River Railroad Co., whose right-of-way practically mark? the only adaptable line for its construc tion and the time is propitious for a deliberate conference between the offi cers of the two corporations looking to n amalgamation of interests and pur poses in this behalf. The railway people are face to face with the emergency that calls for the rehabilitation of. its trestle work over this very ground. They cannot wait much longer before taking steps for its reconstruction, and they will rebuild it of wood or rock; and either process SOME PRICELESS STAMPS. Xearly five hundred dollars was re rentlv ruii.t fur a ftiwimftn fit tha ffnvn I t - 1 - r $3 revenue stamp. Although issued no farther back than the early seventies, is now among the rarest of the many hijih-prieed revenue issues to which stamp collectors are paying so much at tention. These stamps embrace oer eight hundred varieties. Many of them were used during and after the civil war on all kinds of documents. They were made in denominations ffat ranged from one cent to one thousad dollars and there is a story to the effect that a 15, 000 stamp was issued. This specimen is the most valuable one ever printed bv the United States and had its origin owing to a singular circumstance. At the time of the sale of the Union Pa cific railroad by the government in lStS. the revenue taxes established during the Spanish-American war were in force Some 803,000,000 were involved in the transaction and the largest revenue stamp at that time was ?30, the higher denominations not being iued until 1S99. It was out of the question to use these stamp, as the required num ber would cover the document, so a special 85.000 stamp was ordered. Two specimens were printed, one of which was placed on the bill of sale, and the other was added to the government col lection Of stamps in the postoflice at Washington. 0 MACHINE STRIKE BREAKERS. Chicago Moulders' Strike Broken by Sub stitution of Machines for Men. CHICAGO, Sept. 6. Secretary Paul Blackford' at the Metal Trades' Asso ciation yesterday predicted a termina tion of the strike of 500 inolders in the foundry shops of Chicago within a month as a result of an important dis covery made by local manufactures. As an experiment, 100 molding ma chines recently were installed in the big foundries, where it had been found impossible to secure strike breakers to replace the foundry men who walked out May 1. The trial was successful, according to employers, who assert the machines turned out as much work as three skilled iron molders. Orders immediately went nt to Well Known Stock Company Opens at Star Monday Night. The Brandon Player, a well known stivk organisation, will open at the Star Theater next Monday evening In eoniedv-dranm of life in the Kentucky mountain, entitled "The Heart of Ken tuoky." This company played high ly successful slimmer engagement in the Tacitm Theater, Taeoma, Wash closing there three weeks ago. They come here diuvt from Kve.ett, where they are playing at the present time. There are three companies of Brandon Playet in the Northwest at the pres ent time, and it is the intention of the management to operate a circuit including Everett, Wash., Victoria, B. and Astoria, playing each company in one place a month ana then change about, nivina new face every fourth week.

New York for 500 more of the ''strike Without prejudice, both city and rai road could well afford to enter into an immediate and prolonged conference in relation to the dual enactment of the great project and at a largely reduced bill of expense for each. It is impera tive in both cases; it is practical and logical and economic, and would afford the simplest and quickest solution of an important problem for both. Invi tations to this end should be forthcom ing from one of these sources at no dis tant day. and for the common good there breaking" machines In Chicago and Milwaukee, where the strike of the molders is in progress, it was preuicted 1.00 machines will be in operation before another month. If this proves true, it is figured by em ployers they will have need for less than half of the former number of em ployes, and that consequently the strike practically will have been defeated. The substitution of machinery for men is not new in strikes, but this is the first time in the history of labor dsputes, it is said, that it has been should be no lack of business cordiality and public spirit in the honest and wise j tried on so extensive a scale despatch of the undertaking. GOULD LINES IN TEXAS. FORT WORTH. Texas. Sept. 0,-lt was stated yesterday by Vice Prei dent and General Manager P. E.

HIS DEFEAT PROVEN. If any doubt existed as to the actual defeat of Nelson, the whines he is daily emitting from his bed, whither he has withdrawn to be healed of he bitter bruises given him by Cans, would prove the trouncine beyond all cavil The squealer is always the whipped, the defeated, the disgruntled and disap pointed man, in whatever engagement he has been mixed up. His "baby cries" are tantamount to raw confession that be was beaten, physically, morally and professionally; and he lies there today, a discredited man in a discreditable business Even here, in far-off Astoria, the men who backed him are disgusted with his pusillanimous reproaches and repining. 0 THE VETERAN CHAMPION. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, the doughty vet eran from Illinois, the fearless Speaker of the American House of Representa ' tives, has his inexorable fist in the long hair of Brer' Gompers, and before he lets go the leader of the Federated Trades will know more about politics than he has dreamed of. His speech at Lewiston was characteristic of the great Hlinoisan and every word of it went home to the inner consciousness of the labor leader. No one man in American life can attain to the sublime function of directing the individual preference and vote of his fellows, as Gompers threatens to do, and it took just such a man as the Speaker to make him real ize it. Gompers may have a follow- IMMENSE FOREST FIRES. NEW YORK, Sept. C. A cable dis patch to the Herald from Milan says: For three days the forest on the western bank of I-ake Garda have been burning. The conflagration covers an enormous area, invading three valleys and reaching the village of Themosinc, near the Austrian frontier. Soldiers belonging to Alpine regiments from the fort at Tignale were gent to help, but with little effect. On account of the recent drought, the fire extended rapid ly, destroying peasants' hunts, scattered through the woods. The spectacle of this sea of fire at night is terrifying and magnificent. The damage is said to amount to hundreds of millions. FAVOR POSTAL BANKS. CHICAGO, Sept.'

Pain from a Burn Promptly Relieved by Chamberlain's Pain Balm. A little child of Michael Straus of Vernon, Conn., wa recently in great pain from a burn on the hand and as cold applications only increased the in- Aammatinn. Mr. Strauss came to Mr. James N Nichols, a local merchant, for something to stop the pain. Mr. Nich ols sivs: "I advised him to use Cham berlain's Pain Balm, and the first ap plication drew out the inflammation and gave immediate relief. I have used thig liniment myself and recommend it very often for cuts, burns, strains and lame back, and have never known it to disappoint." For sale by Frank Hart and Leading Druggists.

F. Lord's drug store (who is now in Denver, Colo.), He recommended a bottle of Snow Liniment; I got a 50c size and it cured my leg. It Is the best liniment in the world."
