Astoria has launched her craft, happily and successfully, with fun and merriment to maris the event, and a thorough realization of (what is be fore her. We are all cherishing the hope that it will not be as other years; that it holds the germ of greater and solider things, and that it will mark the departure from old and trite conditions to newer and bolder elements of commerce and business and that fruition is closer and surer than ever in our history. This hope is justifiable. There are promises in evidence we have never en joyed before, with an assurance, and we feel they are to be realized on if we shall but muster our gumption and en ergies and forethought in their gathering. We have relied for years (far too many, to stand for frank enumeration), upon what we are pleased to style our "natural advantages," on the baseless assumption that they were to be recog nized by the outsider and wrought into commercial benefices by his money and pluck. This theory has stood until time has wittered it and it has tottered by the wayside and lies prone in the field of futility and hopelessness. We are out for another plan and a new slogan; we have all we ever pos sessed, and more; we must find some cleverer incentive aud a less inert pro gram; we must turn to our own in- J itiative, use our own brains, employ our own money, see our own nue ui ur velopment and follow it religiously to the end, and that end must write suc cess, even if it be but meagre and in consequential. We are in urgent need of a morsel of proof that the game lies in our own hands; once that is gained. it will lend savor and color and life to a hurtling hundred of other efforts in kind; and by this process alone shall we find our way out. aumed to be Innocent until he is proven guilty I At to S.

As a witness, this man's testimony will never be quite (free from the taint of falsity and no human argument can make it disinterested. For this reason alone it should not be permitted to jeopardize the liberty and fair name of others, Puter Is In the etnas with Or I chard and entitled to the consideration that Is universally granted to such peo ple, which Is, practically, nil; and luter lacks even the show of shame Orchard has taken on, or really feel. Puter has written a book deallnji with his crimes and the people who were, and possibly were not, mixed up with hlraj and from beginning to end it will I a tisue of explanations, evasions, subter fnges, ambiguities; any and everything short of fact and truth, and his testi mony In open court or in the grand jury room, cannot, and will not, be of any more substance and value. One story cannot be the truth, or even the near truth, and the other a web of falsities, since both will become public at the same time, or so nearly so a to pre clude any distinct variations. ruter Is l).l; and bad men are not to be trusted I ' 0 GET TO THE FRONT. It is said, on good authority, that there are a number of prominent citi zens of Astoria, holding actual, paid-up mcmlicrship in the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, who have never yet (at least in 1007), shown their faces In an as- S.

Every good man Keep the local clearing-house, the Chamber of Commerce, in active opera tion and exhaut our faculty for devis ing and negotiating new plans and schemes that shall meaa something. If it shall only be a minor success. It is the little successes that lead to development and ihe large realities. Astoria, at the sea-end of the down grade, water-level traffic haul of the whole Northwest, is surely in line for some of the good things to unfold this year; but we have simply got to go after them, and quit -waiting for them to arrive. We have got to stir ourselves to make the city and port what it is naturallv, and commercially, intended to be, ASTORIA, T1TE BEST IN T1IK WESTI PUTER. that of "setting a thief to catch a (sup posed) thief."

Their Unceasing Work Keep us Strong and Healthy. AU Che blood In the body passes through the kidneys once every thre minute. The kidney filter the blood. They work night and day.
