KINNEY'S DEATH. The elimination of such a life and example as Dr. August C. Kinney's from the midst of a community like this, leaves a void that is not filled with the mere gathering of the masses over the paths he trod; he was great er, more valuable than that, and it may be years before the real entity will be supplied. As in the ancient days, he stood among the wise men; not aloof, but on the level of things as they were; with ready interest and kindliness and the unfailing faculty of doing and saving, always, what was best and right and most expedi ent In the public sense, he was one to whom all men turned for advice, opinion and approval; and what he gave in this line was final with the recipient because it was untinctured of self, without bias and free from all untoward dictates. His private life was model in the highest conception. A cultured gentleman, his home, his pursuits, his habits, all bore the stamp of re finement and made the niceties of life indispensable at all times; as a devoted stduent in the walks of his profession, with a fixed ambition to conquer the unconquerable and make for the physical peace of humanity, he wrought nobly and insistently through the years of his manhood against the dread "white plague," and did what he might to master it utterly; with what success we shall all come to know when his scientific memoranda is given to the world by those who have it in charge. And the cardinal honor that is his, is that he did this great task while contend ing with what proved to be an. in curable and grevious malady, that impeded his every step and fought day and night against the superb courage that animated him; a phase of martyrdom that but accentuates the splendid history he has made. Astoria is proud, with an honest pride that will outlive the day of her grief; and the name and fame of Au gust C. Kinney are tabletted indelibly in the hearts of his fellows here! on public" decency and " collegiate honor and dignity. This is the moment in which to make a lasting impression on all stu dent bodies of the country for their to demonstrate that umver: sity life has some other and better aims and impulses than mere wnim lioul nr worse, indulgences. We hope the faculty will stand pat for of all concerned, an interest that reaches even further than the stu dent body, by a very wide margin. IS GAINING GROUND. The contention of the gill-netters at the mouth of the Columbia as em- bodiedin their bill now before the peopleis gaining ground daily, and the people at large are becoming not onlv aware of the tremendous vari ance in the measures in conflict, but that the gill-netters' claim represents thousands of workers and millions of dollars of investment, as against the naltrv and selfish demands of a beg garly handful of plutocratic operators in the upper reaches of the river wno desire to maintain a piracy that is chamrfnl as it is devastating to a i-mIIv srreat industry. The earnest! men in charge of the honcster, and only acceptable methods, of fishing, are sanguine of victory and are leav ing no stone unturned to warp it where it will be a victory indeed. FEAST OF THE ROSES. It has been definitely settled that Astoria is to figure handsomely in the great Feast of the Roses at Port land in June next; and the detail of preparation has been taken over by men well equipped for the duty and upon plans that make manifest this city's interest in the event. Her float will be among the real beauties, the real significant things, of that day; and we are looking for Portland to do just exactly the right thing in this relation, forgetting what of unpleas antness has prevailed in the past, and making for the new friendliness and helpfulness that mutuality and kin dred interests stand for. Astoria will send her car and her crowds and her goodwill to the me tropolis, and do it with a spirit that is Oregon-wide and Portland-centered; and all in the hope that her "olive-branch" will not be ignored nor broken nor misunderstood. The rose festival is typical of peace and prosperity, and we are going to use it for all it is worth along those lines. FACING A CRISIS. Stanford University is facing the crisis of its career. It is about to close its doors against 260 of its stu dents for deliberate transgression of its laws; and this is the thing to do.

KILLS CATARRH GERMS. Sufferers Will be Interested in Special Offer of T. A. Laurin. The unusual offer made by T. F. Laurin, shows the confidence they The unusual offer made by T. F. Laur in, shows the confidence they have in Hyomei, and should dispel all doubt as to its curative properties, for they advertise to refund the price to any person whom it fails to benefit. You do not risk a cent in testing the healing virtues of Hyomei, for T. A. Laurin takes all the risk of its giving satisfaction and leave you to be the judge. If you suffer from offensive breath, raising of mucous, frequent sneezing, husky voice, discharge from the nose, droppings into the throat, loss of strength, spasmodic coughing, gen eral weakness and debility, or any other catarrhaf symptom, begin the use of Hyomei at once. It will de stroy all disease germs in the nose, throat and lungs, soothe the irritated mucous membrane, and make a thor ough and lasting cure of catarrh. There is no dangerous stomach drugging when Hyomei is used. Breathed through a neat pocket in- For Congress, T. T. GEER Candidate for Republican Congres sional Nomination in the Second Dis trict.

Done to Justify the Statement - Thar Lime-Sulphur ; Is Equal to Bor deaux as t Preventative. The serious results in the form o( "Bordeaux Injury'' which often fol low applications of Bordeaux mixture render it almost imperative that some means be found of reducing this in jury, or that some spray be discover ed which may be used as a substitute for Bordeaux. ! ' For the past two or three years I have observed after winter spraying apple and pear trees with limc-sul- phur solutions, for San Jose scale, that the fruit upon the sprayed trees was less "scabby" than that upon un- sprayed threes. Upon two different occasions this winter application was delayed until the blossoms were about to open and while the spray which was applied at the full strength did considerable injury at the time, its decidedly beneficial effects were noticeable when the first fruit was gathered. However the generally good results which follow winter ap-, plications of lime-sulphur are now well known and this part of the work requires no further comment Nevertheless, these observations suggested to me the probability that lime-sulphur solution might be used as a substitute for Bordeaux mixture for summer applications and during the past year I have so used it upon various plants and for various purposes. It is not proposed at this time to go at all into detail regarding these experiments I wish only to call at tention to some of the results obtain ed which show conclusively that lime- sulphur solution may be used as a summer spray without injury to foli age and also point strongly to the probability that by its apple scab may be effectually controlled without dan ger of spray injury to the fruit. Sufficient work has been done to justify the statement that lime-sulphur is equal to Bordeax as a pre ventive of this disease but the results of the single season's work point so strongly to this conclusion that I feel justified in calling attention to them, that growers who have suffered loss from Bordeaux injury, and other who are interested, may make comparative tests of the two sprays the coming season. In earring out the work the past season it became necessary first of all to determine how strong a solu tion could be used without injury to the foliage. This, again, made it necessary to adopt some method of standardizing" the spray. After con siderable work we adopted what may be termed the "stock solution" meth od of preparing the spray and adopt ed as a standard for the work a "stock solution" having a specific gravity of 1.27. (For determining the specific gravity of the solution while at work in the field we have found the specific gravity hydrometer a very conven ient instrument. It is cheap, simple and convenient and I would recom mend every grower who expects to use lime-sulphur as a summer spray to obtain one.) This solution, similar to the Rex sprays upon the market, any of which would undoubtedly do as well, is of a clear dark amber color, is without sediment, and as stated above had a specific gravity of 1.27. Analysis showed that each gallon contained in solution 2.38 pounds of sulphur. During the season of 1907 these "stock solutions" of lime-sulphur were used variously diluted upon the apple, pear, peach, plum, prune, quince, cherry grape, potatoes and celery. The results obtained indicated that lime-sulphur sprays produced by dil uting 1 gallon of the stock solution with IS gallons of water may be safe ly used upon all of the above-named (Continued on page 6) COFFEE There is a time for good tea, and a time for good coffee; there is no time for poor either. .
