Astoria is just now In possession of conclusive proof that she is to be an outer-port no longer; that she Is to figure squarely on the map of Ore gon, as an entre-pot, a depot, a real commercial center, a stopping place for terminal traffle, by land and sea, something more than a mere acces sory to neighboring, inland cities, a paltry station on the highway of com merce. It is up to her own people to take Instant and thorough advan tage of the changing conditions and bend them to her perpetual sen-ice; to give personal care and ready money to the conserving of every agency that holds the shadow of a promise in her favor; to loosen her grasp on the money and property that Is needed on the market and in the strife, and to give proof of her worthiness of such an uplift as is imminent. To do less than this is to declare her unfitness for the promised progress; and those to whom such rank demonstrations of Indifference are made, will follow the Inevitable rule In such cases and pass on to some more active and apprecia tive center. Get ready, everybody! And take a hand (with a few dollars in It to cinch the grip) on the live Issues soon to be raised here! It is strictly up to the people of Astoria! The fellow who turned over a new leaf on New Tear's Day Is In danger of turning down a wrong corner about now. o A. W. Plnero says that all modern plays' are "overdressed." Well, yes, Derhars from the Garden of Eden standpoint. o' There are said to be 6.100 stars vis ible to the naked eye. The announce ment is made by astronomers, not by theatre managers. Hunting Beach in California has 300 acres of cabbages; but our smok ers may rest easy, for they are all to be converted into sauerkraut. Mr. Carnegie thinks he would gladly give $200,000,000 for ten years more of life. Tet many a fellow has gotten ten years and taken less money. Is it not about time the Astoria Common Council and the Astoria Po lice Commission were uniting and getting down to business? It is suggested that for the enforce ment of the law against aeronauts passing over Dutch territory in bal loons some fly cops will be required. A. & C. BELT LINE. There Is general good feeling throughout the city and the suburban towns affected over the plans of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad people for a belt line touching all the seaside resorts between the Columbia bar and Tillamook Head; not only be cause It gives quicker, more direct and pleasurable service by increasing the popularity of the south coast territory, but, mainly, because it is significant of an awakening In all business lines hereabout, headed by the chiefst con cern engaged. Of course, It Is largely a counter-action to the steps being actively taken by the I. R. & N. on the Washington bank of the river and to enhance the Washington beach re sorts and expedite transportation there from up-country cities and towns; and that the A. & C. is ready to meet all such expedients and set up a guage of its own to restore and maintain the credit and prestige of the Clatsop resorts, is a matter of sin cere gratification here and is thor oughly appreciated. Astoria, and the proprietary Interests involved along the coast, should strain every nerve to build up and perpetuate the pa tronage thus openly and strongly ca tered to by the A. & C. Company. The Astoria clergy have boldly en tered a field of municipal reform from which the Morning Astorian retired without honor or success fifteen months ago. The Baltimore American has labored and brought forth: "Destiny is the lr repressive fate of mankind." Truly, we live in life and almost think thoughts! What is worth doing at all is worth doing artistically. Let the utter fall ure of the Ice-crop, and the Irrepar able destruction of the strawberry crop, always precede the annual ruin of the peach crop. Fifty days a United States senator, and fifteen minutes chairman of a Senate committee. The Hon. Frod W. Mulkey, United States Senator from Oregon, is entitled, and welcome, to the splendid prestige. He's a good fel low, anyway! If anybody thinks that A. B. Ham mond Is a "sick man," let them try to get "foreninst" him In a big busi ness deal, and It will be found he has the healthiest, heartiest, hard- wringing grip on current affairs, val ues, and advantages any invalid ever possessed. o We have been taken to task for en dowing Martin Foard with the alleged undeserved title of "Hon." on the ground that he never held an office In his life to which the appellation be longed. Well, that may be, too! Yet such a blunder Is not illy made, when bestowed upon a man who is admitted on all sides to be Impeccably honorable! THE FLOOD PROSPECT. Word from the upper Columbia and Willamette valleys Is not the heartiest just now; both great districts are threatened with' serious floods, equal ling, if not surpassing the highwater of 1890. Portland, unhappily, catches the Immense reaction from both, and suffers Immensely along her water front; but it Is likely the warning given 17 years ago may be heeded, and, Skin Disease of Twenty Years' Stand ing Cured.

HIT METROPOLITAN DAILIES Will Chock Magazina 8ectiona and Comic Supplement of Larga Pa pars Peculiar Caaa of Foraion Born Raaidant, WASHINGTON. b. 5. After la boring over the subject of postal r forms, the Commission, appointed by Congress, consisting of members of One Semite, and House committees, finally has made Its report and sug gested legislation which It is hoped may be put through before this session adjourns. Probably nil sorts of Interpretations will be put upon the report of this Commission and the very comprehen sive bill it has submitted. Divested. of all the legal verbiage with which it is surrounded. It may be well to calm any alarm that may be caused among the publishers of newspapers In aver age small towns or cities by saying that in no measure will publications of that sort be In any ways affected That the rails have been loaded with extraneous matter under the guise of newspaper supplements is known to all who have studied the question and the low cost at which transportation has been furnished has resulted In the loss of hundreds of thousands of dol lars. The object of the proposed measure is to prohibit the circulation as parts of newspapers, such things as sheet music, postal cards, pictures etc., and will put a stop to all comic sections or will compel those sections to appear with the name of the paper, date line, etc., over such page. Advertising is limited to fifty per cent of the space of any one section. AH this strikes at the big metropolitan dailies and those publications issued notoriously for ad vertising and circulated at a nominal subscription price. There will be no Interference with legitimate country circulation and the claim Is made for the proposed law that will be of bene fit to the publishers of the country generally confine their efforts to what might be termed the legitimate news paper work. One of the oddities of law was pre sented to President Roosevelt the oth er day by Senator Warren, of Wyo ming, it a case that has appealed to the President. Out in Wyoming there is a wealthy ranchman 71 years old who came to this country as a boy 11 years of age with his father. This man is known to every soul In his com munity, has held all sorts of honorable elective and appointive offices, has grown up with the great west, become wealthy and through his wealth has assisted many persons to get their start in life. He is loved and honored by everybody In the state, and yet, notwithstanding his life, the offices to which he has been elected and his hlh standing in the community a level headed, and presumably just Judf?e has recently declared him an alien and not entitled to protection under the law. Senator Warren holds that the man is as much a citizen as he Is, but un fortunately this law says otherwise. bometime ago this old man, whose name Senator Warren does not now care to disclose, filed a claim against the government and In the course of the Investigation it was discovered that the father of the man did not take out his papers upon his arrival in this country. As he was the child of an aiien the ranchman also was an alien. The courts hold that before he can have anything In court in this par ticular case he must first take out his first and second papers and declare his intentions of being a citizen and go through the proceedure prescribed for a newly arrived Immigrant, or he will not be allowed to prosecute the claim against the government. "Of course," said Senator Warren, the matter can be fixed in some way and will be, without delay, but this case nicely Illustrates one of the od dities of the law. I laid the matter be fore the President and he b'ileves as I do that it Is a very odd situation." such enormous sums of money nro the outgrowth in many cases of casual and most accidental Introduction, In addition to the KVpxy moth, the KnKllsh dpiuTow, he startling, the (Ionium carp, and tho Norway rat have added to the ravages upon tho bene llclal products of the counlry. The gypsy moth has all but ruined the shrubbery and fruit orchards tf New Kimiiind. It can be traced back to isfi'.l when Professor Torubelot of Har vard I'nlversliy brouttht a few to this country to help him u his study of wild silk worms. He lived at Med- ford. Mass.. and raised these catcrpll lars on it shrub In his dooryard en closing the. shrub with a net. IHhIiik a storm the net was torn and tho worm were scattered. Many were captured ami destroyed and notice was given of those that escaped, but no notice was taken of the warning.. Nothing was thought of them ns they did not appear for some years, but gradually the gyp sy moth began to show up In atesdlly Increasing numbers until In 18S they became a notorious pest. First the town and then the stats legislature took up the work of extermination, ap propriating money for that purpose The Federal government wns finally appealed to and the fight is at 111 going on. Neglected Colds Threaten Life. (From tho Chicago Tribune.) "Don't trifle with a cold' Is ?ooi advice for prudent men and women. It may be vital In the enso of a child. Proper food, good ventllotlon. and dry, warm clothing are the proper safe guards against colds. If they are maintained through tho changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, tho chances of a surprise from ordin ary colds will be slight. But the ordinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and a we lestabllshed ripe cold Is to tho germs of diphtheria what money Is to tho bee. The greatest menace to child Ufa at this season of the year Is the neglected cold." Wheth er it is a child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the very best treat ment that can be adopted Is to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It Is safe and sure. The great popularity and Immense sale of this preparation has been attained by Its remarkable cures of this ailment. A cold nvr re sults In pneumonia when It Is given.

Sold by Hart's drug store. The assertion has been made for many years that there is nothing pater nal about the American government and yet Congress, year ofter year, has gone on appropriating money for ob jects that many persons might not hold to be the proper functions of gov ernment. This is done, however, on the theory that that which benefits portion of the country works to the general good of all. Illustrations of this may be found In the appropriation for the supression of the gypsy moth, the bool weevil and other pests that have done untold damage to American crops. These pests that have cost both the government and private persons Don't blame your blood! Skin dis ease Is not a blood disease. It's a germ disease, and that externally used liquid, D. D. D.
