There can bo no question of the su preme advantage of the permanent work over the wooden methods, from what ever point of view is bads it is merely an issue of when the city shall begin to do that which she must do. The imme diate adoption of this cement-wall plan will go a long way toward meeting the greater system that must grow out of the seawall project. We believe, for the good of all con cerned, that the project is wise and op portune, and absolutely feasible, and shall be glad to bear that the rule ha at last been made for "permanency" rather than "patching." THE FEDERATIONISTS ADJOURN. The fifth annual convention of the Oregon State Federation of Labor has done its work and dissolved, the mem bers leaving out for their homes and business all over the big commonwealth. Offiecrs and delegates have done a great 'deal of useful work and driven another peg in the scale of progress of unified labor. . These, men have a very distinct object among the great affairs of humanity and the attainment of that object tends im mensely to the qualifying of present day civilization. The adjustment of the claims of labor to the standards of life and life's commerce is a conclusion de voutly to be desired of all men, since it must lay forever half the incongrui ties and inequalities now imposed upon society and the business interests of the world. And if this convention has done aueht to carry the movement one jot nearer to attainment, the assembly was not in vain. The three-day session has been marked by a steady adherence to the work in hand, and the 100 people to whom it was assigned have made a deep and favor able impression on this community by the quiet dignity that has characterized their presence and processes. They en joyed what of outing and pleasure was provided by way of entertainment, but the first thing with them was the con- eumation of their tasks. They leave here with the profound good will of As toria and the hope that their session has been altogether fruitful of good. ASTORIA'S SOUTH COAST TRADE. The letter of Captain Robert done, published in these columns yesterday, anent the building up of a local com merce with the lower Oregon coast out of Astoria, is a timely suggestion that is worth earnest consideration at the hands of our shippers and merchants. and should be dealt with, and no doubt will be, by the Chamber of Commerce. Aside from the deprivations borne by the people in these secluded localities which call for immediate and permanent relief, there is always the standard ad vantage of being in possession kf the field of enterprise and the certain pro fits arising from it, and using it as a predicate for the launching of correlative ventures. It is high time the port of Astoria was maintaining another eoast fleet, and if it has to be started in a small 'way, the wav is maJe plain in the letter alluded to, and cannot be too soon undertaken. 0 ' Don't Take the Risk. When you have a bad cough or cold do not let it drag along until it becomes chronic bronchitis or develops into an attack of pneumonia, but give it the attention it deserve and get rid of it. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and you are sure of prompt relief. From a small beginning the sale and use of this preparation has extended to all part of the United States and to many foreign countries. Its many remarkable cures of coughs and colds have won for it this wide reputation and extensive use. sold by Frank Hart and leading druggists. The man who does not advertise be cause somebody said it did not pay, ought not to believe that the world is round because the ancients said it was flat. Indiana Retail Merchant. ATHLETE'S DIFFICULTY. "PATCHES, OR PERMANENCY?" Manager Hatpin Will Press Charges Against Jumper, NKWj YORK, dan. 8. Matthew Hal pin w ho is to manage the American team at the Olympic games in 1-ondon next summer and against whom a storm of protest has been Vaised, appeared before a committee of the Amateur Athletic I'nion last night to substantiate his charges against Ray Ewry, the jumper, whom llalpin accused of participating in unsanctioned athletic meetings. This Kwry has denied. Hatpin forced Kwry to admit lat night that he had ap peared at meetings 'without taking the trouble to find out whether or not they had been authorized by the I'nion, but declared was only in exhibition for branches of the Young Men' Christian Association. He produced cards to show that he had participated in a number of such exhibitions and seven oreig ht of them, it is said, were not sanctioned. Chairman Hughes of the registration committee of the I'nion. stated, however, that he was in a measure responsible for this as he had made a statement that Kwrv can compete in these meeting. llalpin slated that Kwry had given an exhibition at a circus at Atlantic City aud had received prizes. Kwry stated that he had appeared under the impres sion that the permission of the union had been obtained, but denied that he had received any prizes. The committee reserved decision on the charges. , s r Rank Foolishness. "When attacked by a cough or a cold, or when your throat is sure, it is rank foolishness to take any other medicine than Dr. King's New Discovery," says C. 0. Eldridge, of Empire, Ga. "I have used New Discovery seven years and I know it is the best remedy on earth for coughs and colds, croup, and all throat nd lung troubles. My children are sub ject to croup, but New Discovery quick ly cures every attack." Known the world over as the King of throat and lung rem edies. Sold under guarantee at Chas.

A VALUABLE HOME RECIPE f WILL BREAK UP A COLD IN HOURS OR CURE ANY COUGH THAT IS CURABLE. 4 Mix uni' half ounce of Concentrated oil of pine with two ounce 'of glycer ine and a half pint of goud whiskey, Shake thoroughly each time and u so in doses of a tcaspooul'ul to a table spoonful every four hours. The renowned throat and lung spe cialist who established a camp for consumptives in the pine ywoods of .Maine, aud whose remarkable cures there attracted international attention de clares that the above formula Is one of the very best remedies obtainable fur an acute cold and that it will strengthen t lie lungs, relieve roughs and heal the bronchia! tubes. Also, that it will cure any ease of lung trouble not too far ad vanced if the patent will aiit by' plenty of outdoor exercise, inhaling deep, long breaths every few minute. The ingredients am procurable of any good prescription druggist and easily mixed at home and should take it place as one of the most valued reme dies in the family medicine chest. Inquiry at one of the leading drug gists elicited the information that Concentrated oil of pine is put up for dispensing only In half-ounce vials see curely sealed in tin screw-top cases in tended to protect it from heat and light. The oils sold in bulk and the patent medicines put up and labeled "Oil of I'ine," are to lie avoided because owing to their impurities they produce nausea and are useless a a medicine, besides they sometimes leave permanent kidney trouble. The manner of the doing the essential work of repair on Eleventh street, from Duane to Exchange, and on Exchange, from Tenth to Eleventh, now under ad visement in the common council, raises an issue of interest, namely, shall the city begin tbe inauguration of a sys tem of solid and permanent repairs and improvements, involving the use of ce ment retaining walls and filling in tbe stTeet-ways with earth and making the repair or improvement of everlasting value to the people; or shall it go on with the flimsy and costly methods long in vogue, tbe use of which always neces eitates the longer use of the vastly more expensive system of wood with its as miiunces of dissatisfaction and danger! Astoria must, sooner or later, and preferably sooner, began the huge work of filling in on the waterf rentage ; and we eee no Teason why she should not begin right at the point in question. The permanent plan is inevitable; once it is inaugurated, the sooner it 'will demon strate its efficacy and economy and be come the standard. The two blocks under consideration lie in the heart of the city: they are owned by men who can better afford the test than the vast majority of citizens; the plan for ce ment walls under the outer cndi of the sidewalks gives each and every owner additional cellar room on one street or two; the cost of the permanent work is, at best, but slightly m advance of the old (and always increasing) system; the new work once done is done forever, and the city itself derives the infinite credit of having really done something for itself and makes another and longer stride in land-values; and if it cannot be uaid for handily, on the spot, then the five-year option may be used by the owner in discharging the obligation, and alwavs with the gratifying knowl edge that the work will not have to be Fever Sores. Fever sores and old chronic sores should not be healed entirely, but should be kept in healthy condition. This can be done by applying Chamberlain's Salve. This salve has no superior for this pur pose. It is also most excellent for chap ped hands, sore nipples, burns and dis eases of the skin. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. The man who does not advertise be cause his grandfather did not, ought to wear knee breeches and a queue, It Does The Business Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Maine, says of Bucklen's Arnica Salve. "It does the business; I have used It for piles and it cured them. Used it for charmed hands and it cured them. Applied It to an old sore and it healed it without leaving a scar behind.' 25c at Chas. Rogers' drug store. The man who does not adverise be cause he tried it and failed, should throw away his cigar because the light went out. THIRTY MILLION IN FINES. Spurred by the criticism that little has been done to "tame the trusts", the Department of Justice has issued a pamphlet showing what has been ac complished by the Roosevelt Adminis tration in comparison with the accom plishments of other administrations. The activity of the present administra tion has resulted in the prosecution of 150 suits. The Roosevelt government in six years has instructed 17 civil and 18 criminal actions under the Sherman antitrust law. Railroad prosecutions have formed the chief feature of the "trust-busting" policy. Under the Elk- ins law during the present year, two civil and thirty-six criminal actions have been instituted, and many suits begun in former years have been con tinued. No corporation official or other person has been sent to jail for viola tion of the Sherman act or the other in terstate commerce laws. Fines, how ever, have been imposed aggregating $30,259,125. Of this, $20,240,000 repre sents the penalty imposed upon the Standard Oil Company for accepting re bates. Incidentally, it might be remark ed, this fine has not yet been collected.

Senator XewlanJ of Nevada is spend ing the holiday recess in endeavoring to prevent a withdrawal of the govern ment tnoK from Culdlleld. He has had several confereiii-es with Secretary Taft, and the Secretary, iu turn, has taken the matter up with the White House. The Senator declares that a reign of terror would ensue once the troops were withdrawn and that there is not any other adequate means of protection in his state. Administration olliclaU, how ever, are inclined to believe that they have no right in employing any part of the regular army in Nevada under present conditions. Since the 2S0 men of the 22i.d Infantry landed in (loldlleld, the government has repeatedly called (iov. Sparks' attention to the fact that this constitutional doubt could lie solved by the simple device of calling together the State legislature, when that body could either give its warrant to the use of federal trooi or provide by legis tion for raising a state force, cither of militia or polii, sufficient to insure the maintenance of peace and the ob servance of the law in (Joldlield. it is iR'lieved tlint Senator New hinds has prevailed upon the jjovernoi' to do this, aud if this proves true the administra tion probably will permit the troops to remain until some arrangements can be made.

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the objects of the law is to inform the con sumer of the presence of certain 'arm ful drugs in medicines." 1 lie law re auircs that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine, and other habit form ing drugs be stated on the laoei 01 eacn bottle. Tbe manufacturers of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy have always claim l that their remedv did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth or this claim is now fully proven, at no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and cold. Its value ha been poven be yond question during the many years it ha been in general use.

Roberts was unable to supply instructors to 300 rooms. The principals were forced to act as teachers. Reports indicate that most of the ab sentees are down with grip, but a few are still on their vacations. Manager John Whyte of tbe Chamber of Commerce and C. N. Sherman were over in the Lewis and Clark country yesterday in the interest of the Clatsop Fuel Company. Wf. E.
