The alleged inconveniences attributed to the federal quartine service at thii nort are chargable more to the natural condition existing here Joan to any per sonal laches either on the part of the ship-masters or the officer in charge of the station. Dr. Holt haa intimated that he intends to do all ia hi power to so re-adjust conditions as to largely miti gate the delays now complained of, and this he will do strictly in the interest of the shipping, since time is of the es sence of their business and contracts, and not so particularly essential to the administration of his duties. The specific Use of work be is now engaged on that of detecting, and restricting the spread of the bubonic plague, is an emergency duty, so to speak, and its importance im poses a detail rather more exacting than would ordinarily prevail. . We have bo doubt the situation will clear itself, in good time, of all disagreeables, only it ia expedient that all concerned contri bute to the scheme of re-adjustment and harmoniooa action. No one man is to blame for everything that delays or an noys the public; yet the many may mimify the larger evils and the sooner lay them. EXPLAIN, SOMEBODY! The starting report comes from Topeka, Kansas, that the State Federation of Female Suffragists, called in convention there on Thursday last, wss attended by scarcely a half dozen ladies of that ilk, and bad to adjourn without trans acting any business beyond roll-call.

A beggarly half of a beggarly Baker's dozen of women at a state convention of women's clubs band ed in the lofty cause of universal female emancipation! WHATt . HAS AN ALROTJND BEARING The circular communication from the Retail Grocers' Association of Portland, in the matter of prompt monthly pay ments of accounts, and its adoption here by the Astoria retailers, published in tfceae. columns yesterday mornin$ is timely and significant, and, no doubt, will be accepted with good faith every where; but there is one element of the affair that must not be overlooked, since it is likely to cut considerable of a figure in the case, and that is that the wage earner and salary-man and woman, are absolutely dependent upon the ready access of money as it falls to the em ploying class in these restricted times and their ability to meet their current obligations will depend very largely on the ease with which the businesses they serve shall get the money coming to them, and the timeliness with which they shall be able to disburse it among THE BLOOD MARKET. There is ft standing advertisement in a prominent Eastern paper, calling for a quart, or more, of pure, healthy, nor mal human blood, at $50. per, to be used for an aenemie sufferer. This is th first time wo have noted anything like a market value 00 this plentiful, yet rare commodity. We are glad to know just about wbat it is worth; though of course there most be ft relative, sliding scale for the different qualities, eonsls teucies, and hues of the precious fluid. The blood of the fool, the thief, the drunkard, the lecher, the liar, the fighter. the coward, the hypocrite, with all the rest of the coutanunated specimens, must hare a graduated value of from $5.00 to $15.00 per quart, according to the actual healthfulnets of the subject, and these should be made manifest, that their unsuspected price and utility may become known to these perverted people it ia not alwavs the really rood who have the best and healthiest blood. In these piping times of expansion and moneT'Venture, it might not be amiss to look into this new field of sup ply snd organize a trust for the accum utation and dispeoding of this very necessary agency.

ADD MILLIONS TO PROFITS Demonstrations by Agricultural Depart ment Shows That if Fruits Are Cooled Before Placing in Cars They Will Keep Better. . ' , . . A TYPICAL, TRUE SPORT. James R. Keen, the noted "plunger" of Wall Street, who was so badly out done in that -field aome months ago, seems to have something left to fall back upon in the midst of his- collapse. His raciog stables hare netted him nearly half a million during the present year, and bis winners ere all alive and ready and able to win again next year. The truth of the matter is, Jsmes R. Keene is a typical American sport of the first water; game, and intelligent to the last degree, and a real mixer among men. Generous, yet exacting, and manly above all things, he wins and holds re spect and the devoted service and ad vantage that go with such qualities. He is the incarnation of a popular type. not altogether the most amenable, soci ally, perhaps, but practically indispen sable ia an age when one distinctions are quoted ftener than they are enforc ed. He is a national figure, albeit bis pedestal docs not tower loftily. EDITORIAL SALAD. 'Many of the Chicago water mains are clogged with snails The French might call this ft bonanza in meat and drink. but the Chicagoan would prefer frogs' leg-e , SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-As a re suit of experiments lately carried out by the Department of Agriculture, it is now predicted that California fruit growers will add millions to their profits and greatly improve their product by adopting new methods of shipping fruit to Eastern markets. Heretofore Cali fornia fruit shipped in refrigerator rare, has been carried about one-third of the .way toward its destination before the temiierature was reduced low enough to prevent decay. Pre-cooling of fruits in cold storage warehouses will now be undertaken, the experts of Agricultural Department hsv ins demonstrated that oranges, apricots and peaches and other fruits can be left on the trees until almost perfectly ripe if they are pre cooled before packing in the car for shipment. The Southern Pacific railroad, which handles the larger part of California's fruit output, is build ing several of these pre-cooling plants. On the basis of a valuation of $.10.' 000,000 for California's orange crop last eason, it is believed possible to increase the return on this crop twenty per cent by allowing the fruit to remain on the tree 10 days longer and at the same time avoiding the over-ripening and de cay of the fruit in transit. The South ern Pacific is also building ice manufac turing plants to supply its new equip ment of refrigerator cars for the fruit crop, inis sew equipment, numbering 8,600 cars, is rapidly taking th place of the privately-owned refrigerator ear service. The same Government experts who have been conducting the California ex periments, are also operating in Georgia and Florida. Although the government considers its work to be still in the ex perimental stage and is therefore build ing only portable pre-cooling plants for use in various fruit-producing territor ies, the railroad Is going ahead with pre- cooling plants on a large scale. BUILT IN TWELVE HOURS. The latest fine imposed on a railroad for rebating is $330,000. This branch of railway operations is the only one that can be quoted dull with a tendency to dry up. After the smoke of Tuesday's battle shall have cleared away the old-time Kentucky Democrat will proceed to drown his sorrows and disappointments by the usual process of imbibition. The American apple crop is reported to be 24,000,000 barrels short of tost year's total If future big apple crops are properly appreciated the failure of 1007 will serve a useful purpose. The Republicans of Missouri were rather surprised iwhen they carried the state in 1904, but the rate of growth of the party for many years ought to put it on top as a natural result in 1908. Though in poor health ex-President Cleveland was driven in a carriage to the polls and cast his vote. As long as the American citizen recognises the fact that the ballot is the supreme fact in politics the government will be In a hopeful way.

Phipps, th wealthy steel manufacturer who in 1905 gave $1,000,000 for the erec tion' of model tenements in New York City, is greatly interested in the possi bilities of the two family concrete house planned by Thomas A. Edison, in ventor, and which it is claimed, can be built within twelve hour at a cost of 1,000 to $1,200. Mr. Edison will have the mould for a full sized double residence cast this win ter, and as soon as the frost is out of the ground next spring he will build one of the houses near his laboratory. If it proves satisfactory Mr. Phipps will probably, in cooperation with other wealthy men, erect a large number of these houses near New York City, a city of concrete. , DEVELOPMENT TOO FAST. NEW YORK. Armand Frey, head of a firm of Berlin bankers, who has been in New York for two weeks on business, said today of the financial situation, which hs has studied while here: "I think the financial troubles will soon be over, and I believe your finan ciers will take good care that a similar trouble will not come again in a hurry. Your great country has been suffering from too fast development. An adjust ment of values was necessary and now you have had this, business should look up." . CANADIAN NAVY. VICTORIA, B. C Nov. 15.-The Can adian government has been requested by the Navy League to ask the Imperial Government for two cruisers and four destroyers to be stationed at Esqulmalt upon the understanding that the Domi nion will maintain them upon the Paci fic Coast, thus providing a training school for young men. The cruisers and destroyers would form the mucleue for a Candian Nany and would be the first step made by the Dominion toward providing for its own protection. - Special j 50 Sale on Women's Suits .. ft 1 .(. 1- . .. and Skirts ' '.1., "'.:.,.'.

I was suffer, ing from severe pains across my back and my loins and at times so severs that I was unable to stoop or straight en. Itf kidneys also bothered me a great deal, as the secretions were generally too free in passing. At last Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and I procured a box at Rogers' drug store. I began using them and my health is now excellent. I take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills now and then, when feeling any sign of backache and they never fail to banish the trouble."
