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

Uncle Sam's store of gold, which

The Pacific region has never had a

A Japanese paper says the people

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

elemental substance is the cheapest,
strongest, most enduring, adaptable,
beautiful, and most susceptible of
treatment in finish and ornamenta

hand of man; and yet we have noth

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

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." For sale by
Frank Hart and leading druggists.
