LONG WITHOUT A COMPANY
The Old Day of Leaving the Farm
for the Battlefield is Gone by
War is Now an Exact Science, a
Fine Art
PORTLAND, Or., April 9. (Spec
ial) Passage of the Army bill at
Washington on Saturday last very
likely means three new companies of
coast defense artillery for the Nation
al Guard service of Oregon and on
account of its accessibility to the
mouth of the Columbia river Astoria
is more likely to be selected as the
station of at least one of these com
panies. Astoria has been long with
out representation in the Guard ser
vice but the prospect of organizing
a coast artillery company will no
doubt be readily received, a number
of communications from Astoria on
the subject having already been re
ceived at Guard headquarters in
Portland.
Changes have occurred in the ulti-
ity of the Guard in the past few years.
It is no longer a strike-breaking ex
pediency but a part of the plan of
National defense. Should war be de
clared tomorrow the National Guard
of the States would have to be relied
on as the first line of defense since
the Regular Army is a mere handful.
Volunteers would come in due time
but in modern warfare thorough
training is necessary for battling.
The old day of leaving the farm for
the battlefield is gone by. War is
now an exact science, a fine art.
The advisability of having trained
artilleryman at so convenient a point
as Astoria is readily manifest. The
men would be trained thoroughly in
heavy artilery work and could be as

without confusion or delay.
The organization of coast artillery
reserves in Astoria would naturally
involve the renting of an Armory al
though the State hopes shortly to be
able to build its own armories
throughout the state. The sum of
$100,000 was set apart for that pur
pose by the last legislature and will
be voted on by the people of the State
at the coming election in June. Port
land has an imposing and adequate
Armory but outside communities
have to depend on rented and usually
insufficient quarters, generally at a
FACTS ABOUT NEW THEORY
AS SECURED
An article from the Nashville,
fenn., Banner, published during L.
T. Cooper's visit to that city, throws
some light on the remarkable suc
cess of the young man s theories and
medicines in various cities visited by
him durine the oast year. The article
s as follows:
"In view of the enormous sale of
Cooper's preparations now going on
in this city and the intense interest
which Mr. Cooper has stirred up
since his arrival, a representative of
the Banner spent Thursday afternoon
at the young man's headquarters,
watching the swarm of humanity
come and go.
"During the afternoon the reporter
interviewed many of the callers and
obtained statements from' all who
cared to give them as to their exper
ience with Cooper7 and his prepar
tions. "The following are selected from
those statements as being typical of
the general expression of the people
seen:
"Mr. B. B. Lasater, living at 1224
North Fourth avenue, when inter
viewed, said: 'I have been troubled
with my stomach for the past two
years, and have had rheumatism for
more than five years Sometimes I
could not walk, and there were times
when I could not even move in bed.
Hard knots would form on my mus
cles, which caused me intense pain.
Gas formed on my stomach after eat
ing, which gave me much pain and
distress, and often I was restless and
tossed all night, losing much sleep
and rest.
" 'Hearing of Mr. Cooper and the ,
great work his medicine was accom-
plishing for others, I decided to try
heavy cost to the State. Armories
being a necessity of modern military
training, especially in coast artillery
reserve work, every effort is being
made by officers of the National
Guard Association to bring the voters
of the State to appreciate that fact.
Astoria is looked upon as one of the
points directly interested in the suc
cess of the measure.

GREAT PLAY AT THE STAR.
True to the prediction of their
stage director, the Donald-Bell pro
duction of the muchly discussed play
'Girl From the Golden West," last
night, was the most pleasing play
seen in Astoria in many a day. The
large and more than usually cultured
audience last night were held in a
spell by the charm of delightful sim
plicity that prevails. The language
throuehout is beautiful; situations
intense at times, and the play con

spoken in an Astoria Theatre. Indi-
vidual mention cannot be given here,
but each and every member seemed
to live in the sphere to which the
action of the play takes one "the
days of old, the days of gold, the
days of '49." All in all, no one who
enjoys a play as true to nature as an
author can fancy and who can tell
real acting when they see it, should
miss this truly great play. Later in
the week ,a review will be given.

it. I have taken it about two weeks,
and find myself in a greatly improved
condition. My stomach is in good
shape, and does not trouble me at all
My rheumatism has nearly disappear
ed. and I expect to resume work
shortly, for the first time in K
months. Mr. Cooper certainly has
wonderful medicine, and I am grate
ful for what it has done for ni" '
Another caller was Mrs. T. J
Smith, of 505 Hudson street. Six
said: 'I have been a sufferer from
bladder and kidney trouble for 25
years. In that time I have tried
many prescriptions and various kind
of medici nes, but receive little or no
benefit from them. I seldom had
sound night's sleep, my rest being
broken at intervals throughout th
night. I had pains in my back and
burning sensations.
'"I heard so much of Mr. Cooper
that I came to the conclusion he!
might be able to afford me some re
lief. I have now been taking the
medicine about a week, and feel bet
ter in every way. -The pain has dis
appeared, and I have no distress
whatever. I have come here today to
express my appreciation to Mr.
Cooper for his wonderful medicine
and what it has done in my case. I
will take pleasure in recommending it
to others.
'"In spite of assertions by various
physicians that Cooper is, a fad who
will soon die out, the young mar,
seems to be gaining even greater
headway as his visit draws to i
close."
The agency for Cooper's celebrated
medicines has been given to lis. We
are making a fine record with them
