Rev. lVtee KietV son, the chaplain of the newly founded Son in 11 ns' and Fisherman' Institute of this city, i about to ask of Atoria and Astorian some small share of their abundance, toward the securinit of the ground whereon shall be built the home of the Institute, and for the cred it of the City-by-the Sea It is hoped he will not have to go far, nor long, in this sea-town, for the largess that shall make the venture a quick and genuine success. Oive him the glad hand, and be sure it holds something tangible when you put it forth; the cause is good and just, and a credit to Astoria! He wants but $1,000. WEATHER.

"The Oregonian is informed by the esteemed Astonan (newspaper) that "Portland is not the sole and inseparable atom and item of final adjustment.' Xo doubt Astoria i, though we should be glad to be more specifically enlightened, on the indubitable authority of the As torian, whether Astoria is merely an Item or an atom, or both." Oregonian, 7th. We assume the function of supplying the "specific enlightenment" sought, by declaring that Astoria is indubitably an atom and item, and both, since it eould not be the one without being the other. In the eye of the Portlander and his Oregonian, (their atomic theory pre vailing) this city is an atom, not yet having reached the dignity of item kood; we are conscious of this and it moves us, at times, to resentment. As toria is something very potent, pre judicial, almost threatening, in the Inner consciousness of the Portlander and his Oregonian; but she is not on their map; not if they can help it, as witness ihi half-column editorial in that great paper ye-terday", wherein ev ery eosst town, city and eaunty. In ta? etate Is heralded to the reading world except Astoria and her fine old county. This, In the one all-potent journal of the great state of Oregon, Indicates pret ty plainly, its policy at least, to sub merge, deny, discredit the one city it fear enough to compel a resort to uch glaring tactics. Astoria is an atom in the conglom erate whole for which the Oregonian is upposed to stand, though that paper would have it otherwise; Astoria has helped to build up the commerce and wealth and prestige of the metropo lis through long years of contribution and she doe not believe she has had value received, a predicament shared by many other communities in the state. She has been atom enough to pour her quota of tribute into the coffers of Portland through half a century of neighboriiness, and if Portland has ever missed an opportunity to direct its in fluence against this city the record does not prove it. Just now Portland, via it megaphonic sheet is slopping over with suddenly acquired interest in "Or egon's rich coast country." but never a word ha it to say of this section, save one "atomic' 'allusion, a bare, beggerly, printing of a single word, "Clatsop." Well, it had best keep its eye on the rich coast country of Oregon, for as that shall fully and certainly forge to the front of state commerce, so sure ly shall Portland come to a bitter re membrance of it hide-bound policies through the years it has contemned and neglected these "atoms" along the coast. That it is hedging now, is only too ap parent. It will have "items" enough to deal with in the near future, in this very relation. 0 GIVE HIM THE GLAD HAND! Astoria has made a splendid record in 1906 fop liberality in many directions, wherein charity and good-fellowship have figured as the leading motives. She has done her whole duty in the matter of San Francisco's suffering thousands; she has given handsomely toward a loy al demonstration on the "glorious fourth;" she ha contributed other thou sands to the perpetuation of her fine record as an hospitable entertainer in the regatta way. And now, there rises BIG ITEM OF COST. The war department cot the people of the United States in 1904, $117,500,- 000; the navy department, $103,300,000; the postoffioe department was run at a cost of $132,250,000; the interior, 16T.- 000,000; while the department of agri culture cost less than $0,000,000. The expenses of the interior are nearly three times as much and the poxtotlice deart ment two and one-half times as much every year as the agricultural depart ment has cost for all of the sixty-six year of its history. One battleship costs enough to run the whole agricul tural department a year and yet Con gressman Landia of Indiana thinks the scientists of this department are writ ing farm bulletins to see their names in print, and that the government must economize in their publication. The work of this department benefits 5.70O.34I farming families. Xearlv twelve and one-half million copies of the 972 separate government agricultural publications were i-sued in 1006. Six hundred of these publications were re prints, showing their popularity. These books tell the farmer what, when and how to plant; how to fertilize, when to reap; and this with never a piece of guess work but always with definite scientific precision, the result of untir ing investigations and experiments. It is not too much to say that it is due mainly to this government assistance that the value of the farm crops has increased one hundred per cent in f t years. In other words, from 1899 to 1906 the increase in the value of the crops of the American farmer aggre gated about the same as the sum to tal of the increase from U92 to 1899; and from 60 per cent to 49 per cent of all the exports of the United States each yeai since 1S00 have been pro ducts of the American farm. BEWARE! Just at this time the mail order houses are active in flooding the coun try with big handsomely gotten up fall catalogues, quoting attractive prices on staple articles and making all sort of big sounding claims for your cash. They do not offer to exchange their goods for the farmers' eggs, poultry or other produce. They don't trust a penny' worth, but make you pay cash before you get the goods and the freight beside. If any thing is wrong with the goods or they do not suit, they will not exchange them for you. They pay no taxe into your city or county treas ury, with which ur schools are main tained, roads, bridges, and sidewalkB built. They do not contribute to our churches, charitable institutions, nor to our poor. Then why should you be so willing to patronize them? You know that they must make large profits and that their bargains are usually bargains of repentance for the buyer. Two of the large mail order houses of Chicago are rated worth from ten to twenty million dollars each, and they have made these vast fortune by selling in ferior goods at price of superior arti cle. Still farmers and others are con stantly sending their money to get mail order bargains, and when they get bit they say nothing but bite on the next tempting bait, 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Down in Texas, according to the Houston Poet, the. man who has three Pasadena cantaloupes for breakfast, a peck of FJberta peaches for dinner, and a forty-two pound watermelon for sup per, can hand the hoarse hoot to the beef trust every day in the week. A western man who has had consid erable experience in raising potatoes, says that by planting two or three flax seeds in each hill not a bug appeared in the patch. He claims to have tried it for several years in succession with alway the same results. This ! a simple and inexpensive experiment and is worth trying. S. DANZIGER & GO.
