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.

chronic bronchitis or develops into an
attack of pneumonia, but give it the
attention it deserve and get rid of it.

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.

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.

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

any ease of lung trouble not too far ad

The ingredients am procurable of any
good prescription druggist and easily

The oils sold in bulk and the patent

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.

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

The man who does not adverise be
cause he tried it and failed, should throw

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.

you. It is the best cough cure, but
costs no more than any other kind. All
druggist sell it.
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. For sale by
Frank Hart and leading druggist.
