There are many things to lo done, nnJ umeng the first, wo respect -fully augireat (hat the Chamber shall , pass, and sign up, a strenuous reso lution directed to the rutted Stales Interstate t'otnnietve Commission, de manding the extension of the common point rate on grain to this port. Lot this resolution show. In straightfor ward terms, the deliberate denial per- ' pvt rated, by the railways of the north west as against Astoria, and also, the unqualified claim and right of this port to the common advantage; have ; the resolution endorsed by every man, rirm, company, and cut poiauoii in ilie county, and send It, In capable hands, to the fountain head of authority, and ; then make a stand for It that shall be ; understood; such a movement will I put us on ft commercial level with the i whole coast, and make It easier for I us to affect subsequent commercial i deals. Without It, we are handicapped luid since the law has biased out the I way for our getting it, we are sense less if we remain longer without It. We could have it at once If we but Indicate our title to it, and we have temporiied quite long enough.

Th postal department of the United States government will be in far bet ter business, if in its desire to curtail the cost of maintenance of its es tablishment, it shall strike out, for ever, the needless, costly and asslnlne system of red-tape now congesting, de laying, burdening and Impoverishing it, rather than making a fool attempt to censor, reduce and prescribe the lim its and qualities of the great Ameri can Sunday daily. If only some keen, level-headed man could be put In charge of the department, who would shave and cut and trim the business down to an every-day, commercial basis, and eliminate the dragging, time-eating processes that hamper it and Inordinately increase the cost of its administration, it would be a bless ing to government and people alike. The report of the joint-commission at Washington is a piece of kid-glove, amateur work, fax-fetched, inopera tive and useless. If the rate on sec ond class matter is really too low, raise It; the fixing of rates is a pre rogative of the department; it set the rate complained of, and it may, as easily, fix a newer and more compen sating one. But it were better for all concerned, that It look inward for means of balancing its annual esti mates and annual cost, rather than outward. Wipe out the dollar-consuming jugglery of its own system and put it on a square, quick, feasible lev el with other businesses of the coun try, and, having thrown tradition, precedent and red-tape to the winds, talk business to the people, instead of such rot as was framed up in the re cent joint-report. Political pickings eventually will open the Rhode Island deadlock. o If there Is no way to run trains safe ly in foggy weather, they should be sidetracked for sunshine, o Mr. Pull may rest assured that I'ncle Sam Is not taking that unique Jamai ca functionary seriously. Freight congestion Is another name for business delay and financial loss. An improved Columbia river will pay its way. f The entombed miner lost but half a pound in weight during his fifteen days' Imprisonment, and came out of it famous. It i a rare Instance of the rest cure, though the method is not likely to be popular. An Kngllsh paper refers to the fact that the wealth of the I'nlted States is Increasing ten times as fast as that of Great Britain, and the editor then takes a crack at free trade. That may be called close shooting. Hy cutting out passes the railroads can do more In the way of diminish ing the lobby than all the governors and legislatures In the country. As a matter of fact the lobbyist rarely gets anything but a pass and a meal ticket. In a speech In the Senate Saturday Tillman of South Carolina referred t" the Democratic party in the northern st.ites as a "shining example of ward politicians dirty, low creatures.'' The Democrats of the north will consider the source. AUTHOR'S CHILD POOR. Daughttr of Brat Hart III in Main Poor Houm. NKW YOUK. Jan. 211. A Portland.

Lane, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, will know a whole lot of valuable things about railway manipulation in the Pacific west by the time he closes his in quiry into the Harriman merger at Los Angeles, and his illimitable ac quisition of fact will not be confined to the merger alone. There are vast elements of Information at his very hand, every day, voluntarily and hon estly offered, of which he cannot even take cognizance, further than to make passing mental record, perhaps, of the tremendous volume of abuses attrib utable to unfettered railway domina tion out here. But it is good to have these things known by the commis sion ; it will at least give it to know why It was created, and spur it on to the exercise of its last and best function of correction. From the wide-spread, authoritative scrutiny now being imposed by the Commission, there should come some degree of re lief for the people. o RE6PECTFULLY SUGGESTED.

ELVA BARBER EDWARDS There are three critical stages in a woman's life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood, The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these im portant crises. Women should remember that Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more suc cessfully than any other remedy in the world, Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction. Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, 111. writes 1 Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I feel it my duty to tell you of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Veetable Compound has done me in preparing for childbirth. After luffering and losing my children a friend advised me to try your valuable me dicine, and the result was that I had very little inconvenience, a quicK recover mm MRS. GEORGE WALTERS asbealthy a child as can be found anywhere. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a blessing to ail expectant mothers." Mrs, Elva Barber Edward of Cathlamet, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I want to tell you bow Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound carried me through the critical period of the Change of Life without any trouble whatever, also cured me of a very severe female weakness, I cannot say enough in praise of what your medicine has done for me." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Edwards it will do for other wo men in their condition. Every suf fering woman in the United States is asked to accept the following in vitation. It is free, will bring you health and may save your life, Mrs. Pinkham's Invitation to Women. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised. Out of her vast volume of experience in treating female Ills Mrs. Pinkham probably has the very knowledge that will help your case.
