-WEATHER.
Oregon, Washington, Waio
Fair. ' .':
A UNIFIED COUNTY.
It ought to be thoroughly understood
trom one end of Clatsop to the other
that the progress of each and every
community is the explicit and certain
business of every other community
within the boundaries of Clatsop.
There must he no indifferences nor
Jealousies nor disputes about a single
thing that contributes to any locale
for the good of one Is the good of all
and the prosperity of tie county can
not be attained on any other principle.
For instance, Seaside, is the second
place, In point of size and Influence In
the county, and If she finds she has a
task .beyond her resources, she must
call on Astoria to aid in pushing it
through to success and in the same
tray when Astoria finds the need of
the ocean-belt to make for an extra
ordinary advantage, she will be grate
ful for such recognition and help as
Seaside and all her sister-towns on
the Pacific front can give. We cannot,
and do not, expect anything,- from
Portland, except in matters of state im
port, and the metropolis will sway
them to her particular advantage (un
less, so be, she has some reform un
derway along this line), and our outer
position as a county leaves us largely
free to use our own Initiative, in fact
we are compelled to rely upon It; a
reliance that will contribute to our
strength and ' independence and the
sense of our own ability to achieve our
Inherent destinies.
We should be glad to see the Push
Club of Seaside, allngn itself closely
With the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce for the common purposes of the
whole section, since such an affilia
tion would be Immensely advantageous
to the two towns and the contiguous
country, and the merger would show
outsiders that the whole people must
be reckoned within the application of
sew industries and elements of com
merce. There are many things of
mutual interest that will need adjudi
cation in time and when the hour
eomes for united, wholesome action,
jthe unanimity of it will be its best
strength and most comforting assur
ance.
A QUIET RECORD.
When the new year shall dawn upon
the Clty-by-the-Sea It will be to dem
onstrate that in the previous twelve
months she has quietly contributed the
round sum of a half million in im
provements to her domain; big, rich,
permanent, handsome buildings. It is
not a stupendous figure but it snows
the trend of the public feeling here;
that forward drift that means every
: thing for a city of this size. There
will be the court house, the big hotel,
the new habitat of the Astoria Savings
Bank, the splendid homo of the B. P.
O. E. and scorces of lesser homes and
additions, all making good and con
tributlng their share to the spirited
declaration in favor of a live com
munity.
And by that time there will be
myriads of new projects afoot bearing
directly and largely on the future of
Astoria and Clatsop county; new de
partures in business, railways, steam
er lines; commerce and shipping ven
tures I all sorts will begin to develop
anfl round out actualities and carry
Astoria well ahead Into the swirl of
progress.
There Is not an Intelligent maw In
this community but knows that As
toria" dy Is hero and that all h and
his fellows have to Go Is to wake
careful use of the up-llft and apply
It sensibly to his own benefit by get
ting behind the popular push and
never taking his shoulder trom the
;ar of progress. We cannot dwell
n our shells and xpect to par
ticipate in tho roundup of good things;
there must be an unfolding, a letting
go, a loosenlng-up, and a contrtbuttve
action, that will prove the communal
desire for expansion, and once that Is
recognUed there will be no dearth of
enterprises and no lack of means to
protect and carry them to fruition.
EQUITABLE TREATMENT.
The people of this city, through the
Chamber of Commerce, and all other
agencies, are going to have equitable
rates on river and rail between here
and the metropolis. There la not a
steamer schedule ' in existence today
that doe not discriminate In favor or
Portland in the division of the mileage
and the cost of passenger service en
route. There is nothing fair about it
and Astoria, has borne tt Just as long
as she can be expected to. The rail
road, is perhaps the most flagrant, but
the steamer lines are all framed up
in the same discriminative way and
the need of Justifying the rates is as
pressing there as elsewhere.
AH Astoria asks for Is a square deal
upon a basis of mileage cost; she does
not ask to be made a favored point;
she insists on being treated Just as
well as Portland is treated, and she i
going to have It dealt out fairly, or
know the reason why. For instance, she
is going to have a showdown on the
matter of the Rainier rate. ' Why
ahould It cost lUS.from Rainier to
Astoria, when it costs but T5 cents
from Rainier to Portland, when Rainier
Is Just half way between the two
cities? Why must the Astorian pay
11.00 to travel 36 miles to Seaside and
back on a Sunday, when his seat
mate on the train, from Portland pays
but JtBO to travel 235 miles? These
are but samples of the incongruities
in all the rate cards now extant in the
various services and others will be
dealt with from time to time, until we
are given a square adjustment of them
all. We ask no favors; we insist on
equity!

Catarrah Can Be Cured 'GET THE BEST
Kill the Germs By Breathing Hy-
o-mei. Gives Quick Relief.
Many people who have suffered with
catarrh for years naturally feel that
the disease cannot be cured, and be
come discouraged.
Their failure to get relief Is due to
the fact that they have not used the
right remedy. Catarrh is an affection
of the head, throat and lungs, and can
not be cured by stomach dosing.
The only scientific and natural treat
ment for this disease is Hy-6-mel,
which la breathed through a , neat
pocket inhaler, so that Us healing
medicated air reaches the mots remote
air-cells, kills all catarrh germs, and
restore the mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and lung to a healthy
condition.
Hy-o-mel is the only cure for catarrh
that has ever been sold with the under
standing that It was to cost absolutely
nothing unless it cured. T. T. Lauren
sells Hy-o-mel In this way and Is al
ways ready , to refund the money if it
does not relieve and cure catarrh.
The healing and antiseptic bal'ams
of Hy-o-mel perform their purpose to
perfection, and by using this remedy
for a few times each day, you can soon
cure yourself of any catarrhal troubles.
A complete Hy-o-mel outfit consist
ing of a bottle of Hy-o-mel and an
Inhaler costs but $1.00.
