THE QUESTION OF DELAYS. r "" The Astorian is not disposed to in voke a discussion of any question in volving unpleasant phases of traffic be tween the ocean and the metropolis, especially at this time, when an nnan iraous and rational agreement has been reached in the matter of the improve ment of the bar at the mouth of the river, but it begs to suggest that the delays incident to shipping are not in gidenous to this point. They are at tributsble to the inoperative depths of the river between here and Portland, at several specific points, and it is hoped they will soon be removed by the dred ger. As to weather delays, they are liable to operate at any point in the hundred mile journey between the bar and the mouth of the Willamette or at Portland, as at this point Xo ship goes to sea in threatening or tempes tuous weather, unless it is a matter of life and death that she should sail The case of the steamship Thyra is in point. She was held up for three days because she pounded on the river shoals en route from Portland to Astoria, and had to be surveyed in this port before her master dared start on his trans Pacific trip. Any steamer, or vessel jvith a draft commensurate with the ex isting stage of water on the bar, can enter and depart hence without any other delay than that occasioned by the storms and gales that assail every sea port in the world, and which are ex pected by every mariner on earth. And all this, aside from the extra time lost in towage, in docking, etc etc., to Portland and back. There are no port delays at Astoria. The best of dispatch prevails here, for anything that can safely traverse the bar either way. I... o LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN. The children of Astoria yesterday morning took up the duties of their young lives at the various schools of the city, after the pleasant hiatus of the summer vacation; and to the care ful observer they went at the work cheerfully and eagerly. This is as it should be. Astoria is providing boun tifully and carefully for this great es sential and her little men and women lack nothing in the way of free educa tion (and all that means) that usually belongs to communities of this scope. There are comfortable and commodious buildings; a corps of highly trained, conscientious teachers, all inducements for work and progress and success among the pupils, and, almost invar iably, good homes for them to go to after the tasks of the day are done. The per centage of non-attendance is noVninal and ahjnormafly small; in fact, there is little to criticise in the ordained course of public school life in this city. It is as carefully guarded and nurtured, as any phase of local government in existence here, and the children are the direct beneficiaries of every detail of the work done by the board and the teachers, and the stand ards attained by all concerned are among the best in the state. We are inclined to believe these bright young sters realize the advantages that are theirs, and that they will make the! most of them -in the coming term. If 1 they but knew how earnestly their aohievemeitta are apprtvinted by their parent and gunmana and friends, they might come to know the genuine im nwtanve of their m-mrresa. It is to B a them that all the duties, reponibil itic. honors ami privileges of life are handed down and to know that thce are to 1 transferred to capable and trustworthy young hands, makes the invetiture a matter of delight and com fort to the who have at riven so long and so faithfully, in the equipment of these eager and certain unwessors. 0 THE INTERMINABLE WAIT. The Indications to be relied upon, re specting the future of the jetty work at the Columbia bar, seem to point to an other long wait for the necessary ap propriations by the government. The people of Astoria and of the Columbia valley are "star" waiters. And a year or two, more or less, makes but little difference, if only the assurance may be cherished that when the appropria tton is made it will be ample (and in lump-sum) to actually complete the system on both side of the great bar rier, for the north jetty is just as es sential in its way, as the longer and larger anu to the southward. We can wait, but we propose to keep up an everlasting demand for what is now the principle demand of the state in the way of public improvement The final opening of the Columbia river to the untrammelled commerce of the world at laiye, is too great a stake tq be abandoned, and certainly too vat and vital a measure to die of itself. Astoria has an immense interest in the project herself, but she measures that simply by the ultimate gain to the whole northwest. She will work and wait cheerfully, because she knows the limitless good that must come of intelligent effort and patience. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O EDIT0RAL SALAD. O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Throwing rice at wedding processions is a -custom not always improved upon by foreign imitators. In Russia they have been substituting bombs for rice. 0 Yales contacting emotions have re solved themselves into a smile that is almost sympathetic since the Cambridge- ITarvard boat race. Rather than be obliged to live in Chicago, an Illinois girl attempted sui cide.' We hadn't supposed it was quite! so bad as that. 0 Governor Guild calls the German em peror "the Roosevelt of Europe." The governor is always flattering somebody. 0 Some Boston bears who tried to sit on steel common are regretting the at tempt. Evidently mistook it for Bos ton Common. v 0 There is one good thing about Will iam Randolph Hearst's seat in Con gress; there will be no difficulty in filling it. 0 TWO STORES-ASTORIA AND PORTLAND Oregon Buckskin Suits For Men 15 Oregon Buckskin Cloths are made by the Salem and Brownsville woolen mills and are thoroughly guaranteed by them and by us. We've had these cloths made into suits. Not content with having the cloth beyond reproach we exercised the greatest care to have the linings the padding and canvas the cutting, the sewing, the buttons and button holes equal in quality. In fact the suits arc strictly hand made from start to finish. The colors and patterns are broad enough to suit the oost exacting taste. There are twelve distinct patterns, Pin Checks. Grey Mixtures, and Brown Effects. The styles are the very latest brought out this fall. If we marked these suits according to looks and intrinsic values the prices would be $20 or $25 but this is not the Brownsville way. We Therefore Price Oregon Buckskin Suits at $15 CRAVENETTE RAIN COATS No mau in this country of much rain should be with out a rain coat If you have never possessed one you know nothing what ever of the pleasure desired from one on a rainy day. They are long enough to protect the whole body and will turn the hardest rain that falls. We show a complete line in all patterns and colors. Our prices are susprisingly low considering quality, Brownsville Prices $12.50 to $25 insie Woolen nn i Store MILL TO MAN CLOTHIERS 684 Commercial Street, Astoria Corner Third and Stark, Portland THE "DESERTER." The curtain went up promptly at 8:23 at the Star theater lat evening and at 10:33 it dropped on the final act of the prettiest military drama ever pro duced on any local stage. The story told in "The Deserter" is this: Dad Hawins (Carl Caldwell) has two sons, Tom (Boyd 3. Cobb) and Jim (Len Brandon). Tom is married and has a little son Eddie (Harold Oleson). The Electing three vice-president for the trouble starts seven years before the republic of Panama looks like providing opening of the play when Tom marries for possible emergencies. Annie (Mis Hale), who Is also loved o by vvlllard Hilton (W. D. Fear). Hil Somebody suggests for the benefit of ton announces in the opening of the Kansas City that the Missouri might play . that Tom has been drafted and be made navigable farther up, if they must go with the Union army, unless would only filter the water! he can get a substitute. His brother o Jim says he will go in his place, Ha, ha, If Pattie carries out her announced a)' nilton- "You re not of a8e" HI purpose of another farewell tour of )u8t turDed 21 yesterday," says Jim. America she will discover fewer stand pattir.i here than ever before. o The Xew York Aquarium will be a convenient stable for that sea-cow. It's only a few steps over to Wall street, where there are excellent milking facilities. DOCTOR 1 1 Out in Missouri a newly wedded cou ple spent their first night in jail rath er than face the noisy reception im pending at their new home. The Mis souri wedling reception must have ter rors peculiarly its own. o A French scientist announces that sleep is a state of intoxication. These scientists are so slowl The New York police have been hauling in as "drunk" citizens found asleep or unconscious from blows, apoplexy or other causes, for several decades. The villain is foiled, but not for long. In the second act he claims that Jim has deserted and Tom goes to take his brother's place. The third act is two years later. The two soldier boys return just as Hilton has persuaded Annie to think her hus band dead and to promise to marry him. Tom swears to kill him, "I will, I will, by Cod I will." Quick curtain. In the fourth act Hilton makes his escape. Tom and Annie are united ana every one is happy. During the progress of this intense plot Harry Swift (Ross Birchett) and Hattie Hewiss (Jane Dorsey) have some very amusing love scenes and are final ly made happy by the cleverness of the Irish girl, Madie (Miss Friel), who in tercedes for them and obtains every body's sanction to their marriage. The parts are all well played and the house should be crowded every night. "The Deserter" will be given pguin tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday nights and Saturday matinee. If a Boston patrolman, without a de pendent family, can scrape together a property of $50,000 in sixteen years, how long will it take a Manhattan po liceman, with a wife, six children and no political pull, to accumulate a sur plus of $2333? Omit fractions and the meal value of restaurants on the beat. 0 The report comes from Eldoro, Iowa, When one has a cool and dry place that farmers in that neighborhood have lor storing potatoes we believe it is decided to grow no more sugar beets better to dig them when they are fully because of the drudgery connected with ripe than to allow them to he in the the work. Iowa soil and climate are ground until late October, as is custom- well adapted to beets as, in fact, is true ary in a good many localities. And this of nearly all the Northwest, but it is is particularly true if the early fall is not attractive to farmers to invest too wet, as the tendency to rot is greater much spinal column in the crop. It if they are left in the ground than isn't "too much sugar for a cent," but when they are properly stored. I rather too few cents for the sugar. Maryland Physician Cures Himself of Eczema with Cuticura Remedies. Prescribes Them and Has Cured Many Cases Where Other Formulas Have Failed Dr, Fisher Says: CUTICURA REMEDIES POSSESS TRUE MERIT " My face was afflicted with eczema In the year 1897. I used the Cuticura Remedies, and was entirely cured. I am a practicing physician and very often prescribe Cuticura Itcsol vent and Cuticura Soap in cases of eczema, and they have cured where other formulas have failed. I am not in the habit of endorsing patent medicines, but when I find remedies possessing true merit, such as the Cuticura Remedies do, I am broad-minded enough to proclaim their virtues to the world. I have been prac ticing medicine for sixteen years, and must say I find your Remedies A No. 1. You are at liberty to publish this letter, or any part of it. I remuin, very truly Sours, O. M.
