"There will be no more catarrh in Astoria," say 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.

A bold conception which, if carried out, will give New York something fairly stupendous ia the way of I concrete bridge, is now under con ideration, says Cement Age It will to be a feature of the bridge proposed to be a tercentenary memorial of llcury Hudson's voyage up the river that now bears his name. It is to cross the western end of Spuyten Duyvil Creek (which separates Man hattan Island from the mainland to the north) and will form a part of New- York City's elaborate driveway and park system on the bank of the Hudson, the Riverside Drive. The object of the bridge, to serve as monument of an important historical event, calls for a monumental struc lure, of course, and every endeavor was made in the design to fulfill this need. According to the plans sub mitted to the Art Commission thy arch has open spandrels, except near the crown. The concrete ring is 725 feet in span between centers pf skew hacks or 703 feet in the clear, with a ccnter-to-center rise of 177 feet. It is a massive concrete rib 70 feet wide, with a crown thickness of 15 feet and a thickness at skewbacks of 28 feet. The rib is shaped to fit the possible pressure lines so closely that tension can never occur in any part of the ring. The immense dead weight makes the influence of liveload almost negligible, and the possible effects to temperature variation, etc., are rela tively small. Steel reinforcing ribs arc built in, however, primarily, to reduce the compressive stress on the concrete or (in another respect) e ilnce the dead weight of the struc ture. The steel is uniformly distrib uted over the cross-section of the arch. The arch carries a double deck. The upper or main deck is a highway floor, 80 feet wide between railings; it has a 50-foot. roadway and two 15 foot sidewalks. The lower deck is to carry four tracks of a rapid transit railway, but as no such line U yet in prospect the lower floor system is nor to be put in place at first, but only the necessary connections provided for it Both decks have steel fram ing, comprising plate girder stringers framing into floor beams. The floor beams are supportcd-in part by steel columns which foot on the steel re inforcing ribs of the arch and in part by concrete curtain walls carried up to close off the spandrel-spaces of the relieving arches (secondary arches) and the space between the main arch- ring in the crown region where the system of relieving arches is inter rupted. In concrete there is nothing even remotely approaching in magni tude the proposed span. The Grun- wald bridge over the Isar at Munich, Germany, 230 feet in span, is the largest completed concrete arch. The Walnut Lane concrete arch bridge, Philadelphia, now being built, has slightly larger span, 233 feet between faces of abutments. These spans be come insignificant, even trivial, when compared with that now proposed for the Hudson Memorial Bridge. The total length of the bridge, including the ipproaches, is 2840 feet Its cost, excluding special ornamental features, is estimated at $3,800,000. About one half of this is chargable to the large arch and its superstructure. HIDDEN DANGERS. Nature Give Timely Warning That No Astoria Citizen Can Af ford to Ignore. . DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidney are sick. , Well kidney excrete clear, amber fluid. Sick kidney tend out thin, pale' and foamy, or a thick, red, Ill-smelling urine, full of sediment and irregular of passage. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kidney and warn you of the approach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright' disease. Doan'i Kidney Pills cure sick kidney and cure them per manently. P. J. Ritchcy, living on Seventh St., Ilillsboro, Ore., says: "For a long time I suffered from an acute attack of kidney trouble. My kidney were very irregular and secretion passing very frequently and were attended by severe pain. They were also very scanty and my bladder seemed to be very weak. I tried a number of remedies that were taid to cure kid ney trouble, but received no relief. At last I law an advertisement of Doan's Kidney Pills, and procured a box. The pain left and at I con tinued to use them the trouble entire ly vanished. I gradually grew better and now I am without a sign of kid ney trouble. I recommend Doan's Kidney Pill at every opportunity." Plenty more proof like thi from Astoria people.

Herman Wise Astoria's Reliable Clothier. Firrt Steps Taken Yesterday to Se cure a Habitat for Clatsop' Fine Display. Manager John H. Whyte, of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, held an informal talk with the County Court yesterday afternoon, in regard to securing quarters for the perma ncnt county exhibit it is proposed to maintain here. The court acquiesced in the use of the court house basement .for such purposes, but made no regular order in the matter, and will not until the floor of the basement shall have been cemeted. Then it is conceded the ex hibit may be lodged and maintained there, under certain rules and condi tions t. be arranged later between the court and Manager Whyte. The nucleus of the display will be made from the Clatsop exhibit at the State Fair last fall, and this will be augmented steadily, from time to time and from all sources, as notable con tributions shall drift in to swell the scheme of exploitation. , ; Grasses, fruits, woods, flowers, dairy product, mill stuffs, fish and all the hundreds of fine specimens in digenous to Astoria and Clatsop, will find their own especal nook tn this display and it should be made one of the graphic and leading features of the "city and county. Due and timely notice of its in stallation and readiness will be made through the Chamber of. Commerce and those with good and sightly things in hand, or underway, will do well to remember this ana pre empt a niche in the fine parade of products. Sherman Transter Co. HENRY SHERMAN.

The Honorable County Court for Clatsop county went into session yes terday morning in the new and hand some quarters at the new court house, Judge Trenchard. presiding, and Commissioners William Larson and John Frye flanking him on either side, with County Clerk Clinton in charge of the documentary detail The forenoon was devoted to th examination of the current bills and claims against the county and, the ordering up of warrants in that be half. At the 'afternoon session the fol lowing matters received the attention of the court and were disposed of in sequence: It was ordered by the court that the clerk enter a charge against the various districts of the county, or other proper parties, with the seggre gated delinquencies in the matter of the 1906 tax, as the same were vre: ported back to the court by Sheriff M. E. Pomeroy. The allowance heretofore made in behalf of the district attorney's office in this city, for rent, at $18 per month, was ordered discontinued by the court, presumably on the ground that that department, in common with all others of the county, are now sup plied with ample office room and fa cilities in the new and beautiful court house. The county clerk was directed to hereafter require from the justices of the peace throughout the county, to file a transcript with the county court along with their cost bills for each month; and that failing so to do, the court will ignore the claims for the session at which they should be con sidered and allowed. The completion of the new bridge over Northrup Creek having been reported to the court and duly ap proved and accepted, it was ordered that that structure be covered in; and the clerk was directed to prepare and forward notices calling for bids for the doing of this! work, to' the super intendent of Road District No. 12, in this behalf. An order was made and entered di recting the purchase of 10 cords of fir wood, for fuel, at $5.00 per cord.
