Word comes, well hedged with author ity, that the Portland A Seattle RaiL way will be running its trains into the metropolis of Oregon on or before thf first day of next March, just eight months away. This is an item of e sential value to this city since that line, so completed, will reach, unbrokenly, from Paco to the sea right here. It will be the line tlwt hold the future of Astoria well within its grasp, and as it shall develop its potential purposes. So will the destiny of this port be made unmistakably mani'est. We should be preparing right now to adapt ourselves to the exigencies inherent in this sys tem and bend every known energy at our command to make it the cardinal aim of its owners to declare this city and poit its Pacific terminus and its exporting depot. There i much to do in this behalf and time is of the essence of its accomplishment; therefore, the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, and every man and institution here must find its best place in the scheme of en deavor. Astoria cannot sleep on this issue, nor withhold anything that will contribute to the everlasting success of this program; she must be instantly at work and keen to note every sign, good and bad, and swift to employ her best agencies to win out against the power ful arguments and allurements that will be set In motion for her defeat. Unless it shall be, and is, the preconcieved pur pose of the Hill interests to make this city their raiLand-sea terminal, with this line from the northwestern wheat belt, we shall have to fight for the supreme distincttion and advantage, and we must get in harness and scrap our own- scrap to the very end. We do not like- to boast, and rarely an so but jn cannot withhold the asser tion that o more perfect summer day ihan yesterday ever gladdened the sew of humanity anywhere on this earth, as we of Astoria experienced it. It was "imply ideal. And there is nothing to urge t'itat it will not repeat itself hundred times lu-fore the season shall close. For this section is, beyond doubt, in the very heart of the favored area of the northwestern summer. The dawn crisply cool and cknulle, and as die uu rode into the heavens his rays were met bv the fresh seawiiuis laden with the wholesome, .ang of the main and of just the temperature to soften their heat to that degree of eiiuity Hualifiei by no other term than balm; and all through the long, brilliant day the delicious kite-change progressed above and around us, compelling the in stant realisation of its perfect charm and voiding every element that might make for discomfort. Life was worth the living; every pulse was animate and eacer. charged with the tonic of the perfect air that swept rfrom the a ocean to the mountain's and back again; lit to absolute- clarity by sun that burned softlv throiurh the shifting sheen of the winds, yielding only tne acme of delisht as we humans understand it. And when night fell it was necessary to resort to handy summer wraps, and later to the genial warmth of blankets that ensured the bliss of sound, unbroken slumber, no mean counter.pleasure for so alluring a day.

More pmv- rful balloons, it is possible, will be constructed for the headquarters. The Charming Woman Is not necessarily one of perfect form and features. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires: neatness, clear eves, clear smooth skin and that sprightlir.e-s of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman i never attractive, not even to herself. Electric Kitten restore weak women, gke strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, beautiful complexion.

The whole country will be glad when the grave and important legal inquiry so long drawn out at Boise shall have closed, and we shall have beard the de. cibion that means so much to so many. The issues, as laid, are, to the world in general, no nearer solution than they . were when the cause first went to bar; and even when the jury shall have ren dered it verdict, we doubt tf t&ea they will have been settled finally. There in to immense scope of intern! b the Haywood trial, and it is Of two very distinct tjpes, equally intense; the state has woven a wonderful stoiy out of the fabric of Orchard's confession, but the warp and woof of the fabric is not of the kind that carries conviction to the minds of men who are used to cleaner testamentary stuff; and upon this hypothesis alone, we are prepared for the hazard of a disagreement in the jury box. The range of the testimony covered so wide a field of time, people and cir cumstances, all, more or less, sur charged with evil done or evil intended, that it is a dillicult matter to segre gate the atoms of truth and decency upon which to predicate a line of struc. tural fact from which to evolve a whole some conviction or acquittal. The shadow of wrong is very dense in the history upon which this crime is found ed and it is not confined to one side by any manner of means; there is much to quicken a perpetual doubt, even when the unravellment shall have been at tained; hence our doubt that there will ever be a justifiable agreement, save as to the manifest guilt of the main wit ' ne'4 A When War Will Disappear. f By W. S. SCHLEY, Rear Admiral V. . N, Retired HE profession of arms is otic of the oKIt st in history, honor able and useful alike to the state. As a member of that profession I could not be expected to have much sympathy "with those who misrepresent the valtio of Its work or who DECRY TUE USEFULNESS of its duties. In these days we hear much of peace congresses. In behalf of thoso of my cloth, I would say that it has been my privilege to meet and know some of the great soldiers and sailors of my time in most of the coun tries of the world. It ia only just to" them to say that they were uniformly gentle and UNIVERSALLY. HUMANE. They were in no sense fond of war because the study of their life had better equipped them to wage it, but when brought face to face with the fact that their nation was unable to find common ground upon which to stand in adjusting differences with another they were ready to step into the breach, with all that might mean of SACRIFICE FOR HOME AXD COUNTRY. (tun No one appreciates more than I do the motives of peace societies or" the credit due TTIEM FOR THE GOOD they WOULD do, but the day is distant when the lion and the lamb can lie down to gether, and when they get up the lamb can be certain that he is not In the northwest corner of the lion. It is .hardly too much to say that ttid era of a thousand years of peace is almost too far off to hope that any of us now living may ever see its beginning, but in the mean time might it not be well that we should constitute ourselves a living force for the protection of law and order against those other forces within the state which are DESTRUCTIVE TO ITS PEACE AND QUIET? h n n I wonld welcome such conferences as that at The Hague. All men who look upon war as a calamity will rejoice to know that thore is a spirit of willingness prevalent among nations TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF , WAR, or to eliminate from its code some of the causes which now lead to it and to substitute for these the method of arbi tration. If no other good results from such conferences than to striko from its code a few of the causes which now lead to that misfortune, the effect will be to lessen its possibilities and to make resort to it more and more rare. I know of no nation today, however, that, UN DER THE PRESENT DISPOSITION OF HUMAN NATURE, can afford to discard her defense while there is so much class restless ness under restraint or class impatience of authority as we see in every country around us. No, it k a far cry to the day when liberty will be able to hold footing without the protection of arms in the hands of men who are TRAINED TO USE THEM in her defense.
