They never cracked a smile as the hailing and howling of their friends along the line of march were poured in upon them in em barrassing volume. The whole thing did not last twenty minutes, but it was a fine prelude to a finer show given by that great fraternity last night at the Astoria.

The Astorian declines to ap pear in so pitiful a transaction, and rejoices that it has avoided annihila tion by the populace in so disguis ing the plaintiff that his normal and natural ugliness was not apparent The picture complained of flattered Mr. Madison lavishly and was pub lished with the sole purpose of miti gating the feelinngs of a sensitive public. Bill will never make a mil Ion so easily as in this case, snce the Astorian was never in so adequate a situation, financially, to pay it. Clatsop Straightening Up County Treasurer W. A. Sherman of this county will utter a formal call today for unpaid warrants in the un usually large sum of $75,000. Of this sum $S0,000 is for general fund war rants, and $25,000 to meet and cover the last dollar of indebtedness on the new courthouse. The general fund call brings the county within just one year of her , outstanding ob ligations, to April 1, 1907; and with Treasurer Sherman expects, with the April tax collections, to call up at least two months more of the out standing debt, so that with the dawn of May old Clatsop will be within ten months of her elimination from debt; a condition that speaks thor oughly well for the administration of the county's affairs. The fact that the splendid courthouse, but just finished, is absolutely paid for, will be good news to the whole people, and the showing for an early release on the balance of the public debt, will have a cheering effect also.
