and
AN ALL-ASTORIAN MATTER.
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

deal with him; the decent citucn
looks upon it with amazement and
disgust because it transposes his
sense of honor of, and obligation to,
the law; judges, attorneys and jury:
men, in the course of their duties to
the ueoole. must deprecate the
abridgement of the purpose and func
tion of the law they are sworn to up
hold; while the indifferent layman as
sumes his first degree of interest in
the law when he realizes that it can
be dealt with.
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.

T. F. 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. If you have any
catarrhal trouble, you should take
advantage of T. F. Laurin's liberal
offer.
