From the Atlantic to the Pacific.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.Benjamin
Ide Wheeler, president of the Univer
sity of California, looks for a rapid
shifting of the world's scene from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. He
believes the cruiser of the battleship

nation to the importance the Pacific
not only does but will play in the
world's affairs.
While the Japanese agitation had
subsided on the coast, Dr. Wheeler
yesterday said, he looked for much
serious trouble with Japan in the
future. He believes the United States
has many hard problems to solve
with Japan, but he is certain a war

DESERTED AT RIO.
NEW YORK, Feb 24.-Charged
with having deserted the Atlantic
fleet under Admiral Evans at Rio
Janeiro Wm. Dorey, 24 years old, ar
rived yesterday from that port on the
Lamport and Hull liner Terence.
Dory was a member of the U. S.
Marine corps on the battleship Mis
souri. At Rio Janeiro he went ashore
in civilian clothes, he failed to return
to the ship, stopping instead at a
sailors' mission, until the fleet left.
He says be did not intend to desert
but merely wanted to get away from
a sergeant who he said was persecut
ing him. On his application, the
American consul supplied him with a
ticket and gave him a letter to the
captain of the Terence informing the
skipper that the marine wanted to
give himself up in New York. On
his arrival here Dory was turned over
to the Navy yard x authorities. He
joined the marine corps in Chicago
on November 1.
LIQUOR PROBLEM. ,
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. 25.-
A despatch to the Express from Chi
huahua, Mexico, says.
Governor Creel says that as more
pressing matters are disposed of he
may take up the solution of the liquor
problem along the lines of the Goth
enburg system as passed by him when
he was acting governor two years
ago.
in bnet, this comprises a private
quasi-philanthropic corporation to
take over one by one, or as rapidly
as possible the saloons of the state,
close many of them and conduct the
others under strict regulations and on
such a plan as will conduce to temp
erance and morality. The profits of
the company it was then proposed
will be limited to 6 per cent on the
capital invested, all above that being
devoted to public service or some
other cause.
AT COLLEGE 27 YEARS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-William
Cullen Bryant Kemp has been a
student at Columbia University for 27
years and he hopes to remain a stu
dent there for the rest of his life. He
is finding difficulty now in discovering
studies that he can take and in keep
ing from being graduated and com
pelled to leave the university but he
knows most of the tricks of the cur
riculum and hopes to be able to keep
going for another 27 years. At the
beginning of his college course a re
lative of Kemp's died and left him an
annuity of $2500 to be paid while he
remained in college and lived in a
college dormitory. Kemp has forgot
ten most of the details of the bequest
but he gets his $2500 annually and
that's enough. Having seen a great
many classes graduate from Colum
bia, he is devoted to the university and
no one takes more interest in its
sports and its undergraduate life.
The French bark Gucthary, the
P. & A. liner Alesia, the Britis
steamship Mortlake, and the Nor
wegian steamship Haldis, bar-bound
in the lower harbor, have all taken
flight to their various destinations
about the earth.
The British bark Alexander Blac
arrived down last night on the haw
sers of the O. R. & N. steamerliar
vest Queen; and will sail for Europe
with her cargo of grajn, as soon as
Captain Griffith can find a passable
bar.
The steamer Johan Poulsen is load
ing lumber for San Francisco, at the
docks of the Astoria Box Company
and will probably get away today or
tomorrow."
The oil tank steamer Atlas, of the
Standard fleet, arrived in port yester
day morning, and went on to the
metropolis after a brief stop in this
port
The steamer Yosemite was among
the arrivals in this harbor yesterday
morning. She went on to Rainier,
after a short berthing at the Callender
docks, and will load lumber out from
there.
The steamer Asuncion is due down
from Portland on her way to the Cali
fornia coast.
The Rose City is due back from
Portland, San Francisco-bound, on
Saturday morning next, at an early
hour; and the Roanoke will be down
and outward-bound, , on Friday morn
ing at 5:30 o'clock.
The Lurline will go on the ways at
Portland for a general overhauling
and will not be on the run for the
better part of three weeks; during
which time the Undine will do duty
in her place, with the entire crew of
the Lurline in charge, including Cap
tain McCully. The Kamm steamer
Mascot, of the Lewis river run, which
has been on the ways for a year
past, is again afloat and ready for
service. f
The fine launch Altoona, belonging
to the Altoona Packing Company, is
in the yards of R. M. Leathers, being
generally overhauled for the coming
season, having a new pilot house put
on, and undergoing complete caulk
ing, etc. Mr. Leathers is just turning
out three fine power skiffs, of 3 and 5
horsepower, for I. If. Carver, at
Meglers'.
Yesterday was one of the real dull
days on the bay and river hereabout,
the rain and mist and chill winds hav
ing full possession of the great water
reaches that usually glow and gleam
in the light ot a radiant sun over
Astoria.
It is something to be the acknowl
edged poet-laureate of the North Pa
cihe waters, and this distinction is
cheerfully accorded to the genial
master of the steamship Breakwater,
Captain Macgenn. He' has the true,
musical lilt of the Scot and attunes
his lyre to each engaging thought and
fact that is worthy the study. He
has written a fine poetic tribute to
President Roosevelt and his friends
will be glid to see it in the broad light
of day as soon as he cares to publish
it
Walter C. Frye and Henry C.
Averill and wife of the Cape Disap
pointment Life Saving station were in
town yesterday.

PLENTY
WATER
OF
ALSO GIVES . A PRESCRIP
TION RELIEVES STOMACH
TROUBLES, KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER AND RHEUMATISM
"The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy," ex
claimed a well-known authority. "The
numerous cases of stomach trouble,
kidney and bladder diseases and
rheumatism are mainly due to the
fact that the drinking of water, na
Hire's greatest medicine, hat been
neglected.
Stop loading your system with
patent medicines and cure-alls; but
get on the water wagon. If you are
really sick, why, of course, take the
proper medicines plain common
vegetable treatment, which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the
stomach."
When requested for such a pre
scription for the cure of rheumatism
and kidney trouble the answer was:
"You must make the kidneys do their
work; they are the filters of the
blood. They must be made to strain
out of the blood the waste- matter
and acids that cause rheumatism; the
urine must be neutralized to it will
no longer be a source of irritation to
the bladder, and, most of all, you
must keep these acids from forming
in the stomach. This i the cause of
stomach trouble and poor digestion.
For these conditions I would suggest
the following prescription: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime, but don't
forget the water. Drink plenty and
often.
This valuable information and sim
pie prescription should be posted up
in each household and used at the
first sign of an attack of rheumatism,
backache or urinary trouble, no mat
ter how slight.
