In time past we have had a good Ai tr. sav. and fight for, in regard to what Portland was endeavoring to do to wrong this city and port, especially in the matter of the fori of Columbia bill, etc, etc.; and now that that issue has been laid aside and the people of Astoria are going after their own commercial equip ment and intend to set up a port of their own (upon practically the same lines Portland will employ to extend her maritime influence from South Portland, on the Willamette, to the seaward curvature of the Columbia river bar) our people must think hard and steadily and stand squarely alongside the men in the Chamber of Commerce who have this thing in charge; in other words, we must tight for our own project as strenuously as we opposed that of Portland, or Stand impeached for stupidity and laxity. -Tbjs is purely a local matter, yet it is more potently essential than any thing that confronts us and affects every interest here as vitally as the Port of Columbia law would have, had it stood the test of judicial in quiry. Once we have gained legal status as a port we will have prestige and influence that is lacking now and can go after what we want with, at least, the assurance we are what we claim to be. The Port of Astoria must become a slogan and be sounded with snap and certitude from the day of our in vestiture. It may take time to reach the plane of the Port of Portland in the range of. commerce as it enters and leaves the mouth of the Colum bia, but charter by charter, cargo by cargo, house by house, it can be builded to a point where. competition will soon cease in the interest of the infinitely quicker despatch that will be demonstrated here; along with other expedients and advantages pos sessed or to be gained by -our own initiative and inspired effort The first thing to do is to get squarely on our feet as a recognized port: That is an All-Astorian matter now! IMMUNITY; A FIXED PRICE. We desire to say very frankly that the wide-spread and frequent holding out of the boon of immunity in favor of one thief, or more, to secure the conviction of others, is a rotten prac tice, and is becoming so common as to make it standard procedure, to the disgrace of the courts, bar and people. It is simply another way of fixing the price for criminal testimony and putting a premium on criminal cow ardice. The plea that it is essential to reach conviction pre-supposes the weak ness, or worse, of the laws and their adnr'nistration, and begets the con tempt inherent in such a conclusion. Any principle of action that sets up the idea of the easy avoidance of the law, (especially the penal statutes) is calculated to undermine the strength and dignity of the law; and adds that much to defensive schemes of the lawless. Barters, in open court, with the Orchards, Ruefs, Calhouns, Goslins and Burkes, are inimral from any and every point of view in which the law is held in the common mind: The co-criminal sees it with profound satisfaction as "another way out," and despises the law he has broken and which has broken itself in its A LITTLE BANK ACCOUNT May some day stand between you and w vt.

As to the man who figures as an escaping defendant in an agreement to tell what he knows of his erstwhile friends and co-conspirators, he is not only impeached as a criminal, post tively.and directly, without inquiry or trial, but is a consummate coward and sacrifices any and all for the poor price of his own freedom. It is time halt was called in this specious practice. o " ' FORESTRY AT THE O. A. C The students in forestry at the Agricultural College are making their first collection of seeds of native trees and shrubs for use in the estab lishment of a forest tree nursery and arboretum. The purpose in view is not only that the work shall be in structive to the students in the study of seeds and seedage, silviculture and dendrology but that the plant shall be a source of data to the whole state upon the growth, habit, resistance, and general character of the trees and shrubs of Oregon, so far as is pos sible to grow them upon the same site student or institution. Not only are local seeds being col lected but seeds from the home dis tricts are coming in from friends of students and institution. This kind ness on the part of those residing in the more distant and mountainous parts of the State is highly appreci ated as it enables the class to obtain much greater variety than other wise would be possible with the time and means at the command of either students or institutions. Owing to the fact that the course is but one year old only the general and preliminary phases of the sub ject have been considered by the stu dents in the work. The O. A. C. for est club, an organization of those in terested in the forest of the state, is now discussing forest fire laws, their enforcement, efficiency, and improve ment. Each student is assigned a phase of the topic in hand and in due" time reports his findings to the club. Prominent timber, mill and lumber men upon invitation discuss various topics before the club, as transporta tion, timber preservation, forest con servation, re-forestation, improved methods of lumbering, U. S. forest service work, and similar topics. Later the advanced student will take up work looking to the solution of some of the very practical pro blems now before the wood users of the country. The great problem of what to do with the waste, including the stand ing timber hat is injured by insects and fungus foes will be one of the first to be investigated so soon as the equipment of the department will permit. The statement is made upon good authority that fifteen per cent of the nature timber on the western slops of the central region of the Cascades wholly lost through fungous dis eases, and that another fifteen per cent is graded as cull. Beetles, bor ers and minor foes do considerable further damage and it is safe to say that the sum total of these losses must amount to millions of dollars. It is reasonable to suppose, in the case of recent results in agricultural practices in our own country, to say nothing of the modern forestry prac tices of Europe, that the major part of this loss could be turned to gain through the intelligent investigation of the troubles and the application of modern measures for combating these foes of the forest. Other great problems are those re laling to taxation, re forestation, util izing mill waste, improved1 methods of harvesting the crops, disposing of the debris and weed trees, timber technology and the preservation of lumber. , These ' problems together with many more it is the purpose of the college to help solve through the de partment of forestry as well as train men to take hold of the practical work and problems of our forests and thus insure the best possible use of the tree crop.

Laurin Will Not Allow it to Exist in Astoria. "There will be no more catarrh in Astoria." says T. F. Laurin, "unless people fail to follow the law of com mon." T. F. Laurin makes this statement because of the great success that has followed the use of Hyomei in the treatment of catarrhal troubles. So positive is this treatment in quick relief and permanent cure that He sells it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it. It follows nature's plan in curing disease of the throat and lungs by bringing healing medication right to the very spot where the disease germs exist. With this treatment, health giving oils and balsams are breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, so that every breath you take while using Hyomei is a breath of healing air It kills all catarrhal germs and prevents their growth , so that the cure is thorough and permanent Remember that Hyomei is sold under a guarantee to cost nothing unless it cures.
