DAIRY INTERESTS PRE
EMINENT. The colonial rates on all the trans
continental systems of the country
for west-bound tourists and home
seekers, from St Paul and the Middle
West, will go into effect, for this
point, on March 1st, and remain in
force until the 30th day of April; and
among the hundreds who will have
heard of Astoria and Clatsop there
will be scores anxious to head in
here and take note of what we have
to offer the man searching for a new
home.
These men should be informed of
the immense dairying advantages in
this territory; and the section should
be heralded broadcast and these peo
ple be met with facts and figures and
specimens indicative of the value of
this industry. The output of the
dairiyng interests in and about As
toria last year ranged from $175,000
to $200,000, and it is only in its in
fancy; a few short years ago it was
of no appreciable value, and there are
still thousands of acres of excellent
pasture and dairy lands yet dormant
and only waiting the arrival of the
. newcomer.
Up Knappa way, the citizens are
talking seriously of organizing a local
horticultural society, a grange, or
similar institution, and if this idea
was prosecuted all around the county
it would be of immense value to
everybody.
The markets hereabout are not
nearly supplied with home-grown
fruits and vegetables and dairy pro
ducts, and these things should be
made a far cry and a loud one;, one
that will reach these west-bound
people and move them to investigate
what this county has to show them
along these lines. Cauliflower, let
tuce, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, are
all imported here now while much
better produce can be raised right
here; and indeed is served upon the
home-tables of the farmers who in
dulge in home-truck of the kind.
The organization of the farmers,
dairymen, gardners and fruitmen, and
a united effort on their part to invite
and hold these coming inquirers, will
ber of redundant benefit to them and
their business; and on Sunday morn
ing next there will issue from this
office the latest, and we believe, the
best, general write-up of these special
lines of investment, ever seen here
about It would be an invaluable
source of information to supply to
the oncoming host on the railway
trains and river steamers and would
save an infinite amount of trouble to
those who desire to get this informa
tion first hand and exact into the
hands of the west-bound tourists. We
mention this, not so much because of
any business interest we have in the
sale of these "Home-Seekers' and In
vestors' Astorians," but on account of
its aptitude to the emergency and its
careful compilation along these ex
press lines of information.
At all events, the opportunity
should not be lost to secure our
share of these interested, and inter
esting, people, and whatsoever plan
may be adopted or whatsoever litera
ture shall be placed in these hanas
in this behalf, there is no time to lose
in the gathering of it and ascertaining
how best it shall be delivered to
them. Some one ought to meet them
and see that they are cordially in
vited and honestly informed about
the city and county; and then if we
shall fail to get them or some per
centage of them, we will not have to
reproach ourselves with having neg-'

lected the chance to seek the seekers
and make them welcome and
satisfied.
THOSE WHO KNOW.
It is said that Astoria is soon to
have a special visit from President
Francis E. Clark, of the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle Railway Com
pany, with his full staff of officials.
The trip is to be made hither with a
view of seeing the city, and meeting
the people, and ascertaining some
salutary facts and figures ancnt the
port and the country tributary to it.
We are glad of it; we hope these
gentlemen will be handsomely treated
and made to feel that Astoria has a
more than friendly interest in the
road and its parent system and for
those who have the great trust in
hand; and further,, that she has so
large a hope in the future develop
ment of the road and its business,
that she, is entitled to a bit of en
couragement in the premise. We
want to hear from Prseident Clark
and his colleagues of those things
that lie next and nearest our com
merce, and if they cannot tell us in
so many words just what is to be
expected they may cast a faint, yet
recognizable, hint, of the good that
is to come.
We have felt the isolation of our
position very keenly and we know we
have much to offer; and while we are
not asking to be nursed and dandled
and coddled, we do want to be treat
ed as if we were on the map of Ore
gon and the line of the Hill roads;
we want to aid them and be part and
parcel of the history they are to
create, no matter whether our destiny
hitches" up with the "S. P. & S."
now, or in several years to come; we
want to feel that we are not over
looked and crowded out, and for
gotten; but that we are in touch with
this great enterprise and are to be
allowed to contribute in some timely,
tangible and compensating fashion.

ECZEMA NOW CURABLE.
All Itching Skin Diseases Which Are
Not Hereditary Instantly Reliev
ed by Oil of Wintergreen.
Can Eczema be cured?
Some physicians say "Yes."
Some say "No."
The real question is, "What is
meant by Eczema?" If you mean those
scaly eruptions, those diseases which
make their first appearance, not at
birth, but years afterward, and per
haps not until middle age then there
can no longer be any question that
these forms of Eczema are curable.
Simple vegetable oil of wintergreen,
mixed with other vegetable ingred
ients, will kill the germs that infest
the skin. Apply this prescription to
the skin, and instantly that awful itch
is gone. The very moment the liquid
is applied, that agonizing, tantalizing
itch disappears, and continued appli
cations of this external remedy soon
cure the disease.
' We carry in stock this oil of win
tergreen properly compounded into
D. D. D. Prescription. While we are
not sure that it will cure all those
cases of skin trouble which are in
herited, we positively know that this
D. D. D. Prescription, whenever
rightly used, will cure every last
case of genuine Eczema or other skin
trouble, which did not exist at birth.
We know this. Anyway you, your
self, will know that D. D. D. Pre
scription instantly takes away the itch
the moment it is applied to the skin.
Chas. Rogers & Son, druggists. Stop
that itch today instantly. Just call
at our store and try this refreshing
and soothing liquid; also ask about
D. D. D. Soap.

BIRTHPLACE OF LINCOLN, A
FARM OF 110 ACRES, BOUGHT
AT AUCTION, DONATED TO
THE ASSOCIATION.
; In behalf of the above object, as
rhahnan of the Lincoln Farm Asse
rtion Committee, I wish to place be
(ore your organization, as well as
every citizen in this community, an
opportunity to subscribe as individu
als or as an organization toward the
development of the Lincoln Memorial
National Park. Though over 1000 of
the leading daily papers and the ma
jority of the prominent magazines of
this country have contributed space in
their respective publications, giving
this matter in detail, yet perhaps few
in comparison know what the Lincoln
Memorial Park or the history is in
its connection. The subscription sheets
sent to each organization very fully
explain, but for the benefit of indi
viduals who may wish to become
honorary members and therefore
would not see the sheet before sub
scribing, we will make an outline of
the matter and a more fully under
standing on personal interview. We
will say at this point, that our work
as a committee is done through pa
triotism, not a cent in it for us. Our
organization, the Grand Army of the
Republic, was asked to take up the
work here and as old soldiers of the
war of the rebellion, whose dis
charges bear the signature of Ln
coin, remembering his services to his
country, we have cheerfully accepted
the task. The birthplace of Lincoln, a
farm of 110 acres, located about 50
miles from Louisville, Kentucky, was
sold at public auction in August, 1905
All but one of the bidders represented
interests to exploit it for private gain.
This one bidder who has witheld his
name overbid the others and became
the possessor. By his suggestion an
association was formed known as the
Lincoln Farm Association. This
property was then donated to the As
sociation with the understanding that
the property should be forever a
standing monument to the memory of
Lincoln, and dedicated as the Lin
coln Memorial National Park. Free
to all at all times.' It was thought
more fitting as Lincoln was raised up
from the people, to perform his work
that the people should be asked to
donate toward the necessary improve
ments to be made. Therefore, to every
organization or individual subscrib
ing from 25 cents or more, becomes
a member of this Association, with
out any further assessments of any
kind. You get a certificate of mem
bership, your name or that of your
organization will be forever on record
in the Memorial Hall, one of the
buildings to be erected on the
grounds. Should you only give 25
cents, you will be just as worthy a
member as though it was $10,000.
This matter has been endorsed by
the President of the United States
and hundreds of the leading men of
our country. A great many of them
active members, as you will see by
the board of trustees and other
officers.
Board of Trustees: Horace Por
ter, William Travis Jerome, J. Lloyd

Please remember, this is not a beg
ging proposition, but simply an ap
peal to the patriotism of the Ameri
can people. t Those wishing to be en
rolled as members of the Lincoln
Farm Association, will please apply
to any of the committee and remem
ber thougtt your subscription be 25
cents or more, you will receive a
certificate of membership. Your name
will be forever on record at the
Memorial Hall ut the Park, though
the amount of your subscription will
not appear, Thus all are equal a
