Wherever, on this mundane sphere, a son of Erin dwells and has his own jolly way, this day will be made more or less conspicuous in the course of his recognition of it St Patrick's day has long ceased to be peculiarly a mere date in the calendar of the Church of Rome; and of all the saints and heroic figures incorporated in that list, this notable and lovable patron looms largest and nearest the .world in. general and to the Irishman in particular. St Patrick has, in a measure, been appropriated by the outsider; he is recognized everywhere and honored in the abstract, if not in form and with devotion as in his religious re lation. This is due, perhaps, more to the fact that he was not altogether a churchman, but a statesman, a civic organizer, and a man of broad inter est and courage in the redemption of people to the civic, as well as the re ligious, virtues of - his day; his methods were those of a militant character that lend his history the force of manliness that appeals to those far beyond his claim on the votaries within his church. He was, in this sense, a fine ex ample of the Irish nature and habit of standing "pat" for what he owned and believed and loved; ajll the mix ture of man and saint never yet want- ed for genuine respect wheresoever these attributes existed. "WHOA, EMMA!" 1 Emma Goldman, the rabid anar chist who has practically upsexed herself by a long career of turbulence and unwomanly notoriety, and for whom the public spirit of Chicago has become altogether too aggressive ly hot, is on her way to Oregon with the alleged purpose of waking up this people to a realizing sense of the intolerableness of things general ly and counselling them on the best, "short-cut" methods of amending the deplorable situation. With reverberating clamor and a spontaneity born of the startling news of her coming, our half million Ore gonians under threat,, desperate and dreading, cry in concert "Whoa, Emma!" There can be no want nor welcome in this State for this gross apostle of a grosser creed; no end for her to serve here, save that of stirring up dormant devils of discord and disruption and inculcating her vicious doctrine in the plastic minds of a few idle imbeciles or adding col or and action to minds already in fected with her noxious theories. She will find a sparse collection of con genial spirits in this old Webfoot State and we advise her to switch north from Huntington, and look for a more receptive field in the mining district dominated by some of her choice compatriots and colleagues, j. We all know things might be bet ter1 .and smoother and happier, and we are prone to amend them as rapid ly as good 6ense and decent programs can do it; but we want no anarchistic drilling in the premise. Astoria Swarms with intelligent workingmen in various callings, and b'gosh, they're all at work and doing fairly well. We know of no center in all this wide western territory where her voice or 'person or cult will fit with any com fort to her or to us. We haven't missed her all these years and don't want her now. She is surplusage, wherever she is; and we are after surplus of another sort and gathering it in as we are able. It is hoped the Oregon police will do their full duty in the matter of Miss Goldman's visit out here, and make it interesting for her along their peculiar lines, since such atten tions are among the most general and characteristic she receives and deserves. SCANDINAVIAN-AMERICAN SAV. BANK Courteous and Accommodating LibcraljMethods Conservative Management CHEAP MILLIONAIRES. The despatches tell of a multi millionaire in Berlin, who having failed and fled, was found to be worth the real and pitiful sum of $2750, though he was variously quot ed in the financial marts of Europe as worth from 17 to 20 millions. This is a standard that will apply pretty gen eraly, if the truth were known. There are thousands of "cheap" millionaires, whose credit is based upon the flimsy, yet far-reaching credulity of the people around them; whose tangible wealth is a myth, but whose exquisite skill in keeping up appearances and "putting on dog" keeps alive the humbug of their lordly wealth. Pure and unadulterated bluff is an asset, these days, that the shrewd and un- patricular American Is using for all it is worth; and the equally unparticnlar "sucker" of any old extraction, is bamboozled to a finsh by the process of pretense. Many of the fortunes of the day are reckoned in figures, not sheer dollars. Stocks and bonds, and "se curities," and current paper of other men, constitute half the fortunes of the land; and every bit of it js sub ject to the annihilative forces of chance and the peccability of the people, behind it. The only rich men in America are ' the men who own the choice, productive, and cumula tive real estate of the country; the Astors, for instance, the richest fam ily in the nation, whose sum of wealth is never doubted, nor susceptible of doubt; this is the one unfailing, sound and tangible expression of real wealth and the premier investment of the hour.

E. B. TONGUE. DOINGS IN OREGON. Development Measures in All Parts of the State Show Results. Portland, Ore., Mar. 16th. Ground will be broken for the Oregon Build ing at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex position at Seattle on Wednesday, the 18th instant with appropriate ceremonies. The Schwarzschild and Sulzberger Packing Company is asking permis sion of the city of Portland to cover fourteen acres in the suberbs with a plant which will represent an outlay of $1,500,000. Coming immediately after the definite announcement of the $4,000,000 established which Swift and Company are to build during 1908, Oregon stockmen are jubilant over the recognition accorded this section of t1 c United States as pack ing center. Secretary F. A. Welch of the Ore gon State Board of Agriculture, is asking the co-operation of the vari our County Courts of the state in ar ranging for exhibits at the State Fair held annually at Salem. It requires forethought at the beginning of the planting season to secure attractive displays, which become of more vital importance each year in view of the immense number of newcomers seek ing locations in Oregon. Every one of the merchants in Cen tral Point, Oregon, is using special stationary designed in such a way that the low colonist rate are forced upon the attention of the recipient. Railroad officials on various toads have reported travel which indicates thirty trainloads of homeseekers now en route to the Pacific Coast. Fruit, dairying and other industries of Oregon have all been given their share of publicity, but poultry raising is rarely mentioned outside of the publications which are either devoted to poultry or have a specal depart ment for it. $5,000,000 annually is a very conservative estimate of the re turns from this industry to Oregon farmers, and yet thousands of cases of eggs tre shipped in every year from the Middle West to supply the demand here. Expert poultry rais ers say that the climate of Western Oregon in particular is conducive to very rapid and healthful growth there is one community alone in Southern Oregon that annually mar kets between $40,000 and $50,000 worth of turkeys. The series O? meetings being held by Secretary Tom Richardson of the Oregon Development League, is fo cusing the attention of the whole state. At Ashland there were three enthusiastic gatherings one at the Normal school, a second at the Com mercial College and the last in the evening attended by the citizens gen erally. For Bedford's meeting a special train from Jacksonville brought a hundred and fifty people who came down to participate. Grants Pass was next, then Rosenburg, where the substantial interest arous ed was best evidenced by the raising THE CLATSOPS APPLE CULTURE FRUIT GROWERS' MEETING IS CALLED AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR SATURDAY, MARCH 21ST. A meeting of the fruit growers is called together at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce at 1 o'clock, Saturday, the 2lst inst. It i the season for pruning and spraying. The several questions of interest to fruit growers will be con sidered. All should attend. ' As one instance of the development of the apple industry and its value the station of Knappa is said to have shipped 1 2000 boxes of the fruit this year; and it is thought Svenscn did about the same. The whole district from John Day to Albert is an apple region and by a little effort could be made to equal any like area in Oregon. It affords a fine field for small fruit farms and new settlers. By making apple raising the chief industry in this locality an associa tion could be formed to pack and Vlis pose of the whole product as it done in other apple districts. "ARE YOU AN ODD FELLOW?" What was without doubt the fun niest play ever presented in Astoria, caused the crowded house-full of people at the Star last night to liter ally hold on to their seats and roar, as the different members oi the company unfolded one comedy scene after an other. The plot of the play tells of a young married man who, to satisfy a wish of both his wife and her moth er, tells them he has joined the Odd Fellows; upon the scene then comes the father-in-law, who, it seems, had told the same take to his wife some 20 years before, thus giving him a never failing excuse for his proverbial "night off'; the two men met, both firmly believing the other a full fledged member, and the complica tions resulting can better be imagined than described, particularly the place where they "try out" each other to see how many of the secret signs and motions the other knows. On top of this, a young gentlemen friend of the family is persuaded to masquerade as a certain French girl, the supposed long-lost daughter of the aforesaid father-in-law. All through the com edy scenes were perfectly handled by a company, that seems to be equally as well at home in farce as the some what heavier plays they have hereto fore presented. No one person is mentioned, as all were perfect in their respective parts, but mention is due Mr. Col well for the stage setting, which was easily the swellcst ever seen in this house, representing a New York club man's morning room. Such plays as this, such people as the Donald-Bell Company, and such stage dressing, will soon place them at the head of the list of favorites in Astoria. "Camille" will be the next attraction, beginning Thursday night. of $6,500 for an immediate campaign, Albany and Stayton had meetings on Friday and Saturday. A Commercial Club has just been organized at Bend. No Use to Die. "I have found out that there is no use to die of lung trouble as long as you can get Dr. King's New Dis covery," says Mrs. J. P.
