COLUMBIA RIVER DEFENSES.
It does sot make any particular dif
ference whether war with Japan is im
minent for the United' States, or not,
the strategic importance of the mouth
of the Columbia river and its full and
early equipment as a great naval depot
are imperative questions confronting the
government . From San Francisco to St.
Michaels, there is no euch adequate
refuge as is offered by this bay and
river for the work of war, either for
land or -water forces. It must, under
certain, and probable, conditions, take
the place of Paget Sound and stand for
the most northerly system of equipment,
concentration, asylum, and strategic
'utility, on the whole upper coast.
With the fortifications already at hand
and the defensive energies attaching
thereto, the establishment of the naval
arm of protection will be an act of wis
dom and foresight that will be justified
during the first ten weeks of whatever
engagement may ensue.
This is the time, and the present Con
gress the one, tb inaugurate the plan and
provide tot its earliest possible comple
tion; time wasted now, may never be
accounted for to the people with any
show of justification. We are not speak
ing for Astoria in this connection,
though, of course, such an establishment
would mean much for this city; we are
urging it as a matter of national sig
nificance and as a step in the program
of protection of the great Pacific Coast
and its Northwestern territory. Port
land, Seattle, Tacoma, all the great com
mercial communities of this section, are
involved in this line of defense and
.would share mightily in the benefits in
herent in it; and they should get behind
it with the irresistable forces they
possess and never rest until it is an
assured fact.
o
A FOUL BLOW.
' The appellate court of California, the
most of whose members it is said are
about to retire to private life, has de
livered a smashing blow, and withal a
foul one, to the San Franciscans, by
handing down a decision that practically
frees the scoundrels she has, at immense
cost in money, time end labor, put where
they belonged; In other words, Eugene
SdunHa appeal from the judgment of
Judge Dunne has been sustained and he
lias been ordered released on bail; and
the ruling runs to the Buef case and ne- j
gatives the action of the lower courts, in
so far as the indictment against him is
concerned, it being identical with that
upon which bis confederate was tried
mnd convicted. - '
i There are plenty of basis for further
prosecution of these people, if the statute
of limitations has not become operative;
and iwe trust Ban Francisco will never
-drop the war on these arch-scoundrels,
until she has "landed them" beyond the
eavil and influence of the law, 'or an in-'
spired bench that passes upon it. ' '

ji .-a.' THE OPTIMIST CLUB. '
New York City has an Optimist Club;
and the keenest expression of ita optim
ism is exhibited In its purpose to make
'the elub nation-wide.-''
In order to break the war for its
happy ultimate, we suggest that Astoria
'form, at once, the western outpost cmd
"of the national organization. Wo know
of no better place for sucn en enter
wise, Not that we are unduly dubious,
or disheartened, or dismayed, but, on
the contrary, nr notably cheerful and
hopeful and ambitious, and such an or
ganisation would preserve and augment
our normal but rather negative, name
ness. What we need is a disciplinary
element of vivacity that inspires nenv
ity and inculcates the desire to do some
thin. More cood cheer, with a prop
sensity for awaiting lively climaxes, is
calculated to reduce our jocund state to
a point of nervelessness and inanition
in excess of that which now prevails;
and the sooner the New York corrective
is applied, the better for us all.

LABOR MUST "GET NEXT."
The recent annual convention of the
State Federation of Labor in this city
has evoked a good deal of comment
hereabout anent the purposes and op
portunities of this great elenidnt of
human society; and from this passing
talk we gather one real, rational item,
expressed by a well known citizen, a
man who has studied this matter irom

the wonder of all who looked on it from

according to the statements made last
niirht bv those who have tried to regu

the East River to Brooklyn ended its
first day last night with success to its
credit. It is estimated that 140,000 pas
sengers went through the tubes and that
means 1-10,000 who on other days crossed
the bridge. From 5:30 till 6:30 p. in.
27,000 passed through tbe tube accord

suit is Cupid Goes to Blind Goddess.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10-Mis. Ruth Kira,
a Hrettyl little Japanese widow, Idas
brought suit against Jim Fook, a China
man, who runs a restaurant in New
York, claiming $20,000 damages for
breach of promise of marriage, Mrs.
Kim's husband was an interpreter and
died but October. Soon after, she says,
while she was working in Chinese res
taurant in Brooklyn, where she lives,
Jim Fook was introduced to her. lie
called on her frequently ehe declares
and finally proposed to her and was ac
cepted, the bargain being sealed by tbe
presentation and acceptance of an en
gagement ring. A few weeks later, Mrs.
Kim says, Jim Fook induced her to
give up her place in the Brooklyn res
taurant and become cashier of bis
restaurant in Manhattan. Then sud
denly, she dcolare. hie love grew cold
and she discovered the reason for the
changi was that ehe found him in com
pany with a former sweetheart, a white
girl. She says he later refused to marry
her and told her to go back to Brooklyn,
which she did. Jim Fook denies that
be evir proposed to the Japanese widow
and declares that be simply hired her
to wrtk in his restaurant.
The Pure Food Law.
Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the con
sumer of the presence of certain harm
ful drugs in medicines." The law re
quires that the amount of chloroform,
opium, morphine, and other habit form
ing drugs be stated on the label of each
bottle. The manufacturers of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy have always claim
ed that their remedy did not contain any
of these drugs, and the truth of this
claim is now fully proven, as 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 colds. Its value Las been poven be
yond question during the many years it
has been in general use. For sale by
