Eastern Oregon and Washington Fair. - ! SEASIDE-ASTORIA-PORTLAND. i There is something very pleasant and cheerful in the contemplation of a fine automobile road from Tilla mook Head to Seaside, Astoria 'and Portland. Every man in the territory desires to see it an accomplished fact; yet he does not want to see the home road, the by-road, the local feeder and highways neglected in this be half. There are roads and roads. The big road alluded to is not alto gether a pleasure line; if it were, it would be relegated, for the purposes of construction, to the pleasure-loving class, who can usually afford these luxuries better than anyone else; but when the peasurable element is made contributory to the common good of every citizen on every mile of the route, it at once becomes a matter of vital concern alround. In referring to it as an "automo bile" road, the idea must not be cherished that it is to be built ex clusively for that class of vehicle; it must be an open highway for any and all manner of traffic, horse, foot, wood-rim and rubber-tire; the use of the term "automobile' signifying simply an excellence of construction and maintenance conforming to the standard required for that modern and exacting "wagon." And while the subject is uppermost it may be as well to state that the three sections involved in its building must stand "pat for the cost and work and interest; Multnomah, Columbia and Clatsop are the sponsors for it and they must all take the relative share that belongs to them, Mult nomah intends to have her end done by the middle of June; and Columbia-is at work on her "drift," while Clatsop is quietly making good while attending to other and nearer pro jects in the same line. Multnomah is the best able to perfect her quota; she is the richest in automobiles and money and road science and men; Columbia county has no debt to carry, and is not handicapped in any way; and Clatsop, with a debt and a newly acquired court house, is en titled to patient consideration in the big premise. But, at all events, the enterprise will never lapse from any laches of Clatsop. It is an assured success for the coming summer. ' CEMENT. different directions: one can build anything with it, from a cuspidor to a skyscraper, and there should be money somewhere in so vast a range of effort. :"; " V "' The one thing inseparable from its handling Is HONESTY. It is a sub stance that will reveal dishonesty quicker than anything on earth; a man' may "job" one contract, and then he is at the end of his rope; he loses out at once and for all time; while, at the same time, it's chief virtue is in heralding not only its own honest qualities but those of the man, who uses it commercially. Think it over, some of you energetic young Astorians! , "LOVE ME, LOVE MY DOG!" You cannot hope for the good will and aid of the man in whom you take no interest. Friendly concern begets its kind everywhere. The beaches of life are lined with "pebbles", some big, some little, but all "pebbles"; there are no "onlies." If a man wants your interest give it to him. at least for the moment, and let him realize that you are not be yond the range of his affairs; be those affairs what they may to you, .they are always big, or dear, or necessary to him; and when the time comes for him to lift his hand or voice for you he will have the impulse born of the friendliness you exhibited. There is nothing so palpable as a sudden show of interest for the man you have always ignored; you. know it; he knows it; and it spurs him to contemptuous anger, and you to a sense of the wanton neglect you have invariably dealt him; it puts both in a false pos'tion. Be broad and decent, even if you cannot be an alround good-fellow"; it pays handsomely when the time comes: especially in politics, and business, and trade, and work, and social intercourse. Try it, cultivate it, live up to it; open up a bit and do a happy stunt or two ithout some peculiar inspiration to do it; the habit is easily formed and has its compensations. You cannot be a grouch and an oyster and expect men to assist and admire and sponsor you at the particular moment you need them. They wont stand for it "Love me, love my dog!"

The popularity of the American Navy must be due to the fact that it is recognized as a powerful persuader to keep the peace. Uncle Sam's store of gold, which was $156,000,000 in 1896 is now over $1,000,000,000. The flurry was in truth a mysterious' dispensation. The Pacific region has never had a happier thought than that of respond ing cordially to the friendly saluta tions of its great and good friend, Uncle Sam. A Japanese paper says the people of that country are the most heavily taxed in the world. The jingoes should consider this important fact and go out of business. Why is it Astoria does not take more readily to cement? Is it because she lies in the heart of naara milliner, shinning district for lumber? Wherever one turns these days the universal cry of economy, in the building trade, is for cement. It is nrnvrn hovnnd all doubt, that this J - ' I elemental substance is the cheapest, strongest, most enduring, adaptable, beautiful, and most susceptible of treatment in finish and ornamenta tation, of any known material at the hand of man; and yet we have noth inc. or comnarativelv nothing, to show for the fact or "the conviction. There are scores of young, practi cal, mechanically trained men in this community, to whom this assurance should carry weight in the considera tion of the business they are to adopt and pursue. All over the East it is being taken up and turned to instant and excellent account by men who have not the 'means to indluge' the larger and costlier; lines of venture; and we confess we do not understand ; the indifference to it in the West, and, of course, in this city and section. It requires less capital than anything else in the standard trades, and can be wrought to order in a thousand LEADVILLE, Colo., April 7. It develops that Mr. and Mrs. Edward Forbes, the aged couple who died within a few hours of each other in their humble home in this city on Friday last were highly connected in the East. They had been married for fifty years and had experienced the tips and downs of life to a mark ed degree. Mrs. Forbes was a di rect descendant of Jonathan Ed wards, the noted Puritan Divine, and Dr. W. E. G. Morton of Boston, the discoverer of ether, was her brother. She was a woman of culture, having graduated from an exclusive .semin ary in New England. Edward For bes was a son of H. R. Forbes, who in the fifties was a leader among men engaged in commerce of the seas with New York his headquarters. He himself amassed a fortune on the New York Stock Exchange, of which he was a member and went to Cali fornia in 49. He was instrumental in getting the first railroad con structed into San Francisco. From there Mr. Forbes and his wife went to Africa where he followed diamond mining with considerable success. Then they came to this city but mis fortune overtook them here. Their fortune was wasted in mining schemes and in recent years Forbes eked out a scanty living by perform ing clerical work. Mrs Forbes be came practically helpless from par alysis, and her husband attended her devotedly. Working by day and watching at the bedside of his wife by night was too jnuch of a strain.' iHss health became affected and fin ally caused his death; the neighbors failing to see him about as usual, en tered the home and found him dead in bed, his wife beside him barely able to move. She passed away sev era! hours later. The bodies will be sent to relatives in the east, from -whom they consistently kept the secret of their sufferings and want. PLEAD GUILTY. Rheumatic Pains Relieved. Mrs. Thos. Stenton, postmaster of Pontypool, Ont., writes: "For the past eight years I suffered from rheumatic pains, and during that time I uesd many different liniments and remedies for the cure of rheumatism. Last summer I procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and got more relief from it than anything I have ever used, and cheerfully rec ommend this liniment to all sufferers from rheumatic pains."
