ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
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.

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.

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. White, of
Rushboro, Pa. "I would not be alive
today only for that wonderful medi
cine.' "It loosens up a Cough quicker
than anything else, and cures lung
diesase even after the case is pro
nounced hopeless." This most reliable
remedy for coughs and colds, la
grippe, asthma, bronchitis and hoarse
ness, is sold under guarantee at Chas.

A severe cold that may develop into
pneumonia over night, can be cured
quickly by taking Foley's Honey and
Tar. It will cure the most obstinate
racking cough and strengthen your
lungs. ,The genuine is in a yellow
package. T. F. Laurlin, Owl Drug

; Don't take cold, but if you do, don't
fail to take Kemp's Balsam to prevent
serious consequences. Nothing else Is so
valuable in treating coughs and colds.
The dull feeling In the head which Is
not quite an ache, but bad enough to
make one miserable, can be driven away
by Lane's Family Medicine, the best cure
for headache.
