EXTRA SESSION AT SALEM.
WEAXHXK.
Oregon, Washington, Idaho e)
Fair. e
With naif a hundred Mil yet to
come from committee, be debated and
passed up n.nd but twelve dny left
of the forty, It begins to look as If
there might be need of an extra ses
sion, a matter determinable mainly by
the governor, and he not very much
disposed to call it, If one may draw
reasonable Inferences In such a rela
Uon.
The majority might do the clever
thing for once In history and stay with
I their unfinished business until it nhnil
be disposed of sans per diem, and suns
all other perquisites, a concession the
ordinary legislator Is not " commonly
given to making. There Is a vast deal
of really important business yet to be
done at Salem, far more than can b
achieved In the allotted time. Just
how It will eventuate Is a problem at
present; but In the light of what has
been accomplished to date, anJ the du
bious outlook for the realisation of any
effective and popular work, the people
of Oregon will be better off with her
legislators at home, doing something
in a private way, of elemental good.

nothing, at $20,000 a day.

ANOTHER CAUSUS BELLI.
The people of Woodburn have or
dered the Japanese section hands on
the Southern Pacific Railway to quit
work there, and varaous. The little
brown men have obeyed the order to
the letter. Other localities are ex
pected to follow suit, until the whole
S. P. territory Is involved and then
the status and the government and
Japan are to swap manifestos, war will
be wrought and the glory and Inde
pendence of American labor is o be
vindicated in blood and carnage and
bluster and the "screaming eagle" will
perch on the rim of the rising sun,
While the brawny native American

The American laborer has long ago
abjured section work on the railways.
We do not blame him for chucking it,
either; it is the hardest and cor;es
and worst-paid labor In the American
world of work. But, having patently
relinquished his claim to the field, he
might, with much common sense and
decency, leave it to these, or other,
people.
The railways are to blame for many
th?Jigs, but they are not to be ensured
for using the Japanese or av.v othr
THE BRIX BILL.
The Crix bill, making a highway of
all unnavigable streams in the count v
has not a comfortable sound to many
people In the rural districts hereabout.
It not only has a suspicious look of
ulterior purpose on the part of the
logging industries, but It smacks of
an encounter, sooner or later, with the
fundamental edict of property rights
as maintained by the Individual, and
witb the o'' er legal fundament, the
law of eminent domain. It is suscept
ible of very rigid analysis and we doubt
if it will stand much of that sou of
thing.
A nervous Irritable woman, often on
the Tergo of hysterica, is a source of
misery to everyon who ootnea under

TOMORROW'S CRISIS.
The City of Astoria and all her trib
utary territory will face a crisis in
current history tomorrow night, when
the brains and wealth and spirit of
this section meet in conclave at the
Astoria opera house, to forge new
links in the commercial chain that
links this port and county to the pro
gress of the world.
There is the making of new and po
tent records in this organic movement
of the commercial bodies here, if only
the spirit of real enterprise and com
mon good shall supervene to direct
the conclusions. There will be a plen-
titude of good counsel, words of cheer
and plans for Improvement, enough
to give ample and wise direction to
every dormant faculty and facility In
our midst, and it is for us to choose
the best and safest and most expe
dient, and apply it at once, hot from
adoption, to the needs of the city and
county; to cut out the individual,
broaden our perspective and learn that
we live with, for and by each other,
and not ONE UPON ANOTHER!
" Come out tomorrow night as an As
torian, not as a mere individual, and
fit yourself into the new organism at
that particular angle that common
sense and common good will indicate,
and then when the unified community
takes up the strain of the new work,
do your pulling with the crowd, for
Jamestown wants a government ad
vance of 11,700,000, to be returned from

there would be no shortage.

What To Do When Bilious.
The right thing to do when you feel
bilious is to take a dose of Chamber
