THE MOIINING ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON.
WASHINGTON NOTES
The Common Point Eate
is now available to Astoria and now it is up to Astorians to go after it. We
can now get grain shipped here at the same rate as Portland, but what are we
going to do with the grain when we get it ? Grain is only one item. There
are a hundred others almost as important. We have got to have elevators, etc.,
to handle these things. Getting the rate won't build up Astoria.
We Must Have More Capital and More People

We want to see Astoria go ahead, but to do so we must offer outsiders
with capital some inducement to come here. Other coast cities are doing it and
their progress shows for itself.
Some say, "wait, it will come' and we have waited for years and nothing
of importance has come. Now we must go after it, and that is what we are
anxious to do, but we need your help. Put a reasonable price on your property
and come and list it with us at once, and then

It Ih throtiKh tlio Influence of the
frli'iiilH of Mr. Kulrbiuika that the op
lioMltlon to Mr. New as chairman Is
HtllTed tip.
Throe members of the House have
been promoted to the Senate in the
paHt few days. It Is true that they
will mil take their seats for some time
yet, two of them not until Mnrvh 4th,
Put as they have all been endorsed by
a caueas of the majority of the lefils
lalure in each instance, their election
Is assured. Everyone Is pleased with
the selection of William Alden Smlt'a
to succeeil Genera! Alger. Mr. Smith
Pckuii his service In CoiiRi'ess with tho
r.lth t'onress and Is now serving bis
sixth term. The last time there was a
contest Smith received thirty thous

whose name was also Smith. The last
The last election the Democrats did
not think H worth while to put up nn
opposing candidate so Mr. Smith was
unanimously elected. He is forty-six
years old and nt present his only com
mittee assignment Is n the Ways and
Means Committee of the House.
Scarcely less popular with his as
sociates la Representative Curtis of
Kansas who will succeed Sena'tor Ben
son, who was appointed to the vacancy
left by the resignation of Senator Bur
ton. Curtis has Indian blood in his
veins and has been a leading member
of tho Committee on Indian affairs.
He has also served a long time in Con
gress, having been originally elected to
the 53rd Congress. The youngest man
of the three is Representative Dixon,
Rcpresentatlve-at-Large from Mon
tana, who will succeed Senator Clark.
He was born In 1867 and will be forty
years old next July. He Is serving
his second term In Congress. It
said that RerrrKemative Dixon has
been recognlzf-ii by the Speaker for the
purpose of caKlng up bills more times
than any othe- Representative during
his term of service.
Certain Democrats who are not pleas
ed with the CVmmir.ee assignments
dished out to them by Representative
Williams of Mississippi, propose to
oust him from the leadership of the
Minority next session. They have
selected Representative Clark of Mis
souri to turn the trick, but Clark is not
greatly Interested in the proposition.
Representative Williams is by far the
ablest leader in the minority has had in
the past ten years. As the Republl
cans have had about one hundred and
thirty majority, Mr. Williams has been
unable to accomplish much as leader
of tho minority, but he has done the
best he could. He will probably be
eleoted to succeed Senator Money, but
that does not take place for some
time yet he will remain In the House
for several years. Behind the disaf
fection Is the fact that Representative
Williams favors Bryan and has always
been opposed to Hearst. Consequently
Hearst has marked him for slaughter.
District had a good change of being
passed. Where he got his idea no one
knows.
Many members of Congress In times
gone by have apparently acted upon
the theory that the District of Colum
bia was created primarily for experi
mental purposes and that this was the
proper place to exploit their fads. The
latest proposition which Is attracting
local attenton is that of a member of
Congress named Webber, from Ohio.
Mr. Webber wants to have prohibition
In the District of Columbia. He told
the district W. C. T. U., when he ap
peared before them the other day that
Several mew features will distin
guish the collection and publication of
figures for 1906, now under way. The
figures for the production of lumber
were withheld last year until returns
had been received from every State.
This year the production of each State
will be announced as soon as the re
turns are in. The failure of the manu
facturers of a single State to furnish
the information promptly will there
fore delay the publication of results
for that state only. The total produc
tion of the United States will be com
piled when all State reports are com
plete. The lines upon which inquiry will be
made are practically tndentical with
those last year, covering lumber, lath
and shingles, pulpwood, railroad ties,
tan bark, veneer, wood distillation, and
cooperage. A single addition has been
made in an inquiry as to the consump
tion of telegraph and telephone poles.
The Service believes that the sta
tistics for 1906 will be more complete
and more promptly obtained than those
gathered last year. If so, their prac
tical value to wood producers will be
greatly Increased. Success depends
very largely upon the ready coopera
tion of manufacturers throughout the
country.

E. C. Ruland, printer, living on As
tor street, Astoria, Ore., says: "I
have tried several guaranteed kidney
cures, but consider Doan's Kidney
Pills the best and highly recommend
the remedy to my friends. My trouble
had bothered me off and on for many
years. I had pain in the small of my
back, sharp twinges when stooping or
lifting and the aching bothered me
a great deal at night. I was tired,
languid, and very nervous, but since
using Doan's Kidney Pills I have not
had these nervous spells nor the
headaches I used to suffer from. The
results have been a great improvement
in the condition of the kidney secre
tions. Doan's Kidney Pills have been
so great a help that I am continuing
with them, and feel sure of relief
whenever suffering from these trou
bles." For sale by all dealers. Price 60
