BE PATIENT AND ALERT.
Many there are, hereabout, who being
without patience, deprecate the future
of Astoria because James J. Hill and
his colleagues are making no signs of
their purposes as to the establishment of
terminals for Tail and sea traffic at this
end of the river. This is folly. Railway
and steamship companies do not build in
day op a night Every thing they do
h of permanent and ponderous character
and require the most deliberate study
and critical consideration ,and once they
build it is for great ends and long dura
tion. So it is with the Hill people. If
terminals are to be erected at the mouth
of the Columbia River (and there is no
reason to think otherwise), there is an
infinite lot of preparation to be made
for the work; all manner of dove-tailing
calculations to be wrought out; vast
quantities of raw materials to be con
tracted; immense details to be deter
mined upon, and harnessed to a huge
general scheme; funds to be raised;
deals to be consummated for lands,
rights and necessitous advantage of ev
ery description. These things take time,
and since the indications are all logical
ly Bound and good, common sense be
hooves us to be patient and alert ,hope
ful and loyal to a fair program. Anxiety
and eager fretfulnesa will avail nothing.
Confidence and a spirit of quiet readi
ness are the best qualifications for
bridging over an unsolvable hiatus like
this and lend zest to the apparently
overdue realization.

NATURE, EN MASQUE.

glamour and emphasize the marvelous
wealth of the mines; now it is Gold-

ADMIRAL PLEASED

C. CHAPMAN, OF PORTLAND, IS
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER COMING
CELEBRATION AND WILL BRING
DELEGATION FROM ROSE CITY.
"THIRTEEN.-
The Columbia fisherman rejects the
number "thirteen" as applied to his fish
ing license, and the department of state
fisheries never issues a license bearing
that figure. This may be called super
stition and it probably is on that parallel
of human consideration, and. is just
about as senseless as all superstitions
are. when one thinks of the thirteenth
event, act, and demand of one's daily
life : how the thirteenth is never, noted
eared when it is branded Ji& th'e' par'-1.
ticular numerals 13; how well one sleeps
on'tfce 'thirteenth night; how one en
joyi the: thirteenth meal; how the thir
teenth is inseparably end sequently in
terwoven in every fixed scheme of hu
man endeavor and is never counted nor
considered at all, the rejection of the ad
vertised incident, or fact, or possibility
becomes at once a piece of childishness.
Thirteen is no' nnluclder number than
eleven, bt six;' or twenty-three, or any
other combination of numerals. It it
imply a "dog with a bad name made
hideous and dangerous by reiteration
and the readiness of mankind to cherish
the foolish" things of life without a
thought approaching criticism or in any
way accounting for the stupid adher
ence to what fancy and time have
wrought"
" SCHMITZ RECEIVES QUIETUS.
The supreme court of the State of Cal
ifornia en banc, has 'declared for Dr.
Taylor, as Mayor of San ' Francisco,
against the pleas sent up byi Eugene
6dhmit from his prison, for recognition
a uch officer. .
He baa played his string out and will
subside to that state of innocuous bar
renness that time always confers upon
the scoundrel who has fallen from high
place; this last plea Of his was the
deneir resort, and it has failed him, and
he should court and covet silence and
forgetfulnees and all .ilia, abstract con
ditions that time end. the range, of hu
man generosity can confer.
The decision was handed down by
Admiral C. C. Chapman, of the Astoria
Regatta, was a welcome visitor in the
city yesterday and expressed himself as
being greatly pleased with the prepara
tions made for the big celebration on the
first few days of next month. He was
the guest of President Scbimpff and
other members of the Chamber of Com
merce from Monday evening until last
night, when he returned to Portland.
"Everything accomplished and all that
is planned has my official approval," he
said, laughingly, on being asked what
he thought of the prospects for a big
and successful Regatta. "I am positive
that the Regatta and County Fair is
going to be a huge success in every way,
and. the citizens of Astoria are to be
highly congratulated'ffor their eHergy
and enterprise in the matter." ;
Admiral Chapman was'"the gues't of
President . Schimpff, f the Chamber of
Commerce, iii host showing him over
the town and explaining in detail his
duties during the celebration Monday
night, Vice-President Ball presiding at
the Chamber of Commerce meeting in bis
place. The Admiral was taken to the
home of the Queen, Miss Harriet Tallant,
in the morning, and formally intro
duced, In company with President Schimpff,
Secretary Whyte, and several other local
and Portland people, he was given a irip
to Fort Stevens on the customs launch,
on board which was Senator Fulton, his
brother, and several other prominent
citizen. The Admiral was "a delighted
spectator of the target shooting at Fort
Stevens yesterday, when the big 12-indh
gun were in active operation,'
The quarterly target practice at this
fort was concluded yesterday and win
be commenced today at Fort Columbia.
Nine shots from the big guM were fired
altogether, three at an anchored target
and six at a target in tow of the steam
er Guyi Howard. In shooting at the
Utter one shot went right through the
object and four other "hits" were made.
Owing to the wear on the rifling of the
big guns this will be all the target, work
for some months, the practice being con
fined to the smaller guns.
Chapman was present , at a special
meeting of the Regatta committee yes
terday afternoon just before leaving for
Portland, and arrangements for his staff
were thoroughly discussed. While this
part will not be settled until his return
home it is figured that he will have from
20 to 30 prominent Portland men doyn
luring the celebration who will add

of the gathering. About the same num-i got Chamberlain'! Colic. Cholera and
ber pf local citizens will be on his staff
and according to the plans the coming
Regatta will see the most enthusiastic
gathering ever assembled in this city.
The Admiral paid numerous com
pliments to the selection of a Queen
made by Astonans and asserted that a
more regal and Queen-like recipient of
the honor could not be found,' in his
opinion. He was very favorably im
pressed with everything that had been
done toward the big event and promises
to do his .very beat to help make it a
success over all otner Kegatta s ncu m
this city. , , .
Admiral Chapman was a colonel on
Governor Yates' staff in the Illinois Na
tional Guard up to the time of his com
ing to Portland, four years ago. He was
manager of the City Press of Chicago,
for a number of years and was at .one
time the leading political writer on the
Chicago Daily News. He is a young man
of good appearance and extremely genial.
During his visit here yesterday he made
roanyi friends and will undoubtedly make
a huge success in his capacity as Ad
miral of the Astoria Regatta.

Diarrhoea Remedy Cured Him.
It it with pleasure that I give you
this unsolicited testimonial. About a
year ago when I had a severe case of
measles I got caught out in a bard rain
and the measles settled in my stomach
and bowels. I had an awful time and
had it not been for the use of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
remedy, I could not have possibly lived
but a few hours longer, but thanks to
this remedy I am now strong and well.
I have written the above through simple
gratitude and I shall always speak a
good word for this remedy. Sam n.
