The Business Year Today the busi ness year of tl07 really begins, here In Astoria. Her schools npin up for the second half of the term; the big gest and busiest session of her coun ty mint begins this morning: all the mills In the neighborhood open up full blast; nil the new buslnpsa ad justments will be perfected; nil new contracts, lenses nnd commercial en gagements go Into effect. She has had a glad season nnd made the most of It, nnd all hands are ready for the now year's rrny; eager, fresh, full of hope, proud of their city nnd willing to contribute to the new and finer record awaiting fruition. Quiet New Year's Yesterdny was a quiet day In the local police depart ment. None of Astoria's residents cel ebrated tho passing of the old year so strenuously as to bring them Into the clutches of the law; there were no dis turbances savo that made by a hid eous combination of whistles, bells, llro-crackers and human voices at midnight to chnravnrl the New Year and there was but one arrest, that of a vagrant, who will be trlod today.

The Temlsk- nnilng & Northern Ontario branch of the Canadian Pacific, now being fin Ished, was unwillingly ballasted for many miles, with sliver ore by the Canadian government, by which It was built. Much of the surface of the region between Uike Temagaml and the Mon treal river, la covered with a thick soli over Huronian rock. It Is a desolate land In appearance, though In sum mer nature does her best to hide the bare, forbidding, but treasure-bearing rock. Carload after carload of ballast was hurriedly dumped on the sleep ers and shoveled Into place by the la borers, who knew tho silver ore only by name, nnd who wanted only to get away as soon as possible. They never suspected that much of the rock they shoveled and stamped was silver bloom and it was not until a few weeks ago that the discovery was made. Length after length of rails were stretched across silver ore, some of .which has been found to contain val ues as high as J600 to the ton. Train after train had rattled over the ore ballastcd track, the engineer's gaze fixed on the distance, scorning the dull, seemingly worthless stones, which, It is proven, are worth many times the cost of tho railroad, Its rolling stock and Its gross earnings for many years to come. HISTORIC SWORD. Weapon of Paul Jones Given to Navy Department Library. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. The sword of John Paul Jones now rests In the library of the Navy Department, where It has been placed by Commander Reginald Nicholson, to whom It has descended, It Is believed that the- weapon waa presented to Jones by the North Cnrolina family of that name at the time he changed his own name in compliment to them. The sword Is SO Inches long, beauti ful in design, very strong and highly tempered. The hilt Is of white brass, with the part known technically as the basket, broken away. The tank Is wide and strong and the grip piece of the handle Is of wood, covered with twisted copper wire. that President Roosevelt will dictate the selection of a successor to Senator Piatt, though he may first have to fight it out with opposing elements. The President's first choice, It Is un derstood, would be Secretary of State EUhu Root, but Mr. Root positively refuses to be a wearer of a toga. Oth er men prominently mentioned are Timothy L. "Woodruff and J. Sloat Fassett. Joseph H. Choate, formerly ambassador to Great Britain, also has a considerable following, but it is de clared his candidacy lacks the requis ite approval of Mr. Roosevelt. Since Mr. Choate returned from the court of St. James he has been prominently Identified In a legal way with Standard Oil and other large corporate Inter ests, and the President is anxious for a senator from his native state who will be free from even a suspicion of sympathy with the trusts. TOM PLATT'S SUCCESSOR. New York's Broken Political Idol Soon to Retire. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. The selec tion of a successor to Senator Thomas C. Piatt Is agitating the minds of politicians Just now. That Senator Piatt contemplated early resignation has been repeatedly reported, and as often denied, but now It Is declared with posltiveness and a large showing of authority that his resignation will be tendered Governor Hughes early In the new year, Washington is Inclined to the belief NO NEW YEAR FOR HIM. NEW YORK, Jan. 1. One serious crime marked the out going year here. Robert Wagner, 20 years old and Har ry Bell, 17 years of age quarrelled In Brooklyn Just before midnight. In the fight that followed Bell drew a knife and stabbed Wagner in the neck, the wound causing death soon after. Bell surrendered to the police. Reconstructs your whole body, makes rich, red blood.
