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.

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. There are worse
combinations already in existence and
doing famously well.

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

, 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

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.

Cleveland was driven in a carriage to

Concrete Houses Can Be Erected In Half
ft Day.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-Henry P.
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. -
