Messrs. Barry and Kerr, the rep

of Portland, who have been here for
the past ten days installing the steel
vault furniture at the new courthouse,
finished their work yesterday and are
proud of the show it makes, not only
for the building it graces and serves,
but of their handicraft and the splen
did goods pit out by their employ

task, that there bad been certain
nooks overlooked in the general
scheme of equipment, these gentle
men quietly filled the vacancies with
additional document cases at a cost
of $190. and made no charge for it
simply for the sake of making the
presentation of their metal outfit
complete and perfect.

A new plan has been suggested by
the Secretary of Agriculture, Mr
Wilson, and Assistant Secretary, Mr.
William Hayes, for the clearing off
of stumps from cut-over land for
agricultural purposes.
In brief, this plan is to interest
wood distilling companies in the bi
products that can be made out of
the stumps. In a number of places,
according to Secretary Hayes, com
nanies who make a business of dis
tilling products out of stumps have
cleared off the land free of cost to
the owners. Dr. L. E. Hawley ex
oects to start West within a few
weeks and he has promised to come
to Astoria and ascertain while here
what products can best be made out
of the kind of stumps that are found
in Clatson county.
The stumps that have been cleared
off by such companies for the most
nart have been Norway pine, these
comoanies have operated in Michi
gan, Minnesota and the Southern
States.
The forest service is making a
thorough study of wood distillation
problemsxwith reference to utilizing
waste material and through Dr. Haw
lev. when he comes here, it is hoped
that the Chamber of Commerce may
be able to devise a cheap plan for
removing stumps and at the same
time secure a valuable wood distil
lation plant for Astoria.
Some of the leading business men
of the citv have been interested in
this proposition and there is prob-
ablv no doubt of the fact tnat tne
visit of Dr. Hawley will result in
some practical way.
PERSONAL MENTION ,

WASHINGTON, April l.-The de
bate on the agricultural bill was de
void of charges and imputations
which marked its consideration on
Monday and Tuesday."
More progress was made with the
measure than on any previous day,
and the indications are that it will
finally get through ' tomorrow. To
day's discussion dwelt on the propo
sition for an increased appropriation
for the farmers' bulletins, which,
however, was refused, and upon the
subject of road building by the gov
ernment, the, trend of opinion being
that such work should be done by the
State! -v '
The session opened with a bitter
attack on Attorney-General Bona-
oarte bv Clark, of Florida, who de
nounced him as being no lawyer and
unfit to hold office: The occasion for
the utterance was reporting out of
the committee of resolutions by Clark
calling for a statement of expenses
connected with the peonage investi
cations and prosecutions. That the
resolution was simply to further and
unnecessary attack on the Attorney
General by Clark was the declar'ation
of Caulfield, of Missouri, who led the
opposition. The resolution was
tabled.
