Eastern Washington, and Idaho- Cloudy and occasionally threaten- in g record in jetty-work and bar im lie interest is deeply centered, is foregone conclusion with every man who knows anything about the care that is given such priceless posses sions. The Government will not risk the ships on the Columbia bar nor in the Columbia river because there is not sufficient water to make their visit assuredly safe. It is a bitter disappointment to hundreds of thou sands of people in Oregon, hut even that is infinitely cheaper than the piling up of ships that cost from $, 000,000 to $10,000,000 on the bars and shoals -of our great waterway. i We may thank Portland, for the denial. She has blown hot and cold on the Columbia river and bar im--1 provements for lo, these many years, and he river has been channelled to meet the bar, while the bar has been kept Sack so as to admit nothing thaf could not ascend the river to Port land; hence, at the supreme moment of desire, we ' are confronted with the keenest turn-down in our history. And by way of accentuating this situation, we may cau attention to the fact that when Portland realized that Colonel Roesslcr was one of those cneincers who stand for the quick and wholesome prosecution of their duties and was making a tellf ing but little if any rain. The people have a quiet way of as serting themselves on popular issues and no, man may say them nay and hold their favor. The people of Oregon have made a ringing declaration in favor of that element of their own law which says that the man carrying the endorsement of the people for the United States Senate, shall be sent there by their representatives in the Legislature, and it will probably be done; or there will be an accounting in old Oregon that will go far to the eternal laying of partisan power and individual domination, of which the people of the United States generally, are; sick and ashamed; . r j ; ( . Parties are all right; and the Re publican party is, happily, peculiarly and forcefully right in its present at titude before the people; yet,, with all its prestige, it is in the most criti cal way of chancing public offense, because, unless it discovers, and champions, the popular desire, it will sacrifice the hope of the people and that was never forgiven. The present hope of the people lies in a wider political freedom; in the assumption of exact powers heretofore delegated, and wretchedly abused; in curbing, and even dispensing with, one-man control everywhere; ;and in the' res ervation to the electorate of the last and lawful declaration upon all men and issues, at the bar of public dis crimination and selection. We shall contend for the perpetua tion of the highest ideals of the Re publican party, national, state rl and local, and strive to elect the men who stand for them, always; but the larger and nobler task of divining an herald ing the will of the people, swinging it into the very front of party knowl edge and treatment and champion ship, where it must serve its purpose of defeat, or victory, as the rank and file shall elect, is still our best and gravest duty and we shall do it to the limit Of our capacity. , NO WARSHIPS HERE. . That the Columbia Valley is to denied the presence of the great fly ing fleet of war vessels in which pub- the stage. provement, she gets quietly ,to wor to have him supplanted, and by a.ma who. ' while an able master of hi profession, is socially amenable at rather more gitin to dawdling ovetj the job that has already taken f too many years to complete. Two more years of Colonel Roessler's program at the jetties, would have seen them completed, and 30 to 40 feet of water on the barrier; and that was altogether too good a thing for the lower Columbia .with a beggarly 26 feet of water in the two rivers that flow between Portland and the sea. Just how long the United States Government is going to be s hood winked on this proposition is to be seen. But we do hope for the credit of the State and her normal expan sion commercially, some man may reach the Congress and tell the straight truth about the Columbia river and the Columbia bar. God knows the story is. well enough known in all Northern Oregon; it is one of the foulest traditions of the State, despite the infrequent and in soired chiroines ' of the Portland press for bar and river improvements. Give us a 40-foot channel from the sea-curvatures of the bar to the rock barriers of The Dalles and the Falls of the Willamette 1 That's our plea; the plea , that Portland will not and darediot echo! The Armada will not be here. Even our great June flood will not tempt it in and up the river. Portland has taken care of that, alright, alright! EDITORIAL SALAD Now they are worried lest the Re publicans reduce the Democratic rep resentatic from the South. That is about the ',ily place left in which to continue. the work of reducing it. The great question of statesmanship is whether the Sherman anti-trust law. shall be a dead letter, or whether it shall apply only to those other fellows.

Scores of Astoria Citizens Learned It Have If you suffer from backache, " There is only one way to cure it. ; The perfect way is to cure the kid neys. A bad back means sick kidneys. Neglect it, urinary troubles follow. Doan's Kidney Pills are made for kidneys only. ' George K. Parrish, 3721 E. Oak street, Portland, Ore., say: "Not a symptom of kidney trouble has ever returned since I used Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago and I am pleased to confirm the statement I gave in their favor at that time. Prior to us ing them I had suffered a great deal from dull heavy pains in my back and through the region of the kidneys, this trouble having resulted from 'a severe cold. I was gradually grow ing worse when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and being impressed with the good re sults concerning them, I procued a supply. As stated above' they com pletely disposed of my trouble after a short use." Plenty more' proof like this from Astoria people.

A gift suitable to any time of the year, original, home made, one that will bring joy to any .housewife's heart, is described in the April Wo man's Home Companion. Have you ever thought of making an autograph cook book? It only requires a little care and patience, to have a cook book filled full of original recipes of dishes fit for a king. First make a list of your intimate friends. Those noted for their good cooking and housewifely virtues of course should head the list. Write to each of them a personal note, ask ing them to write out and send you their favorite recipe. In each note enclose a stamped envelope with a sh'eet of paper of uniform size for the written recipe. Then wait. Presently in will come whole flocks of white envelopes, each enclosing the recipe which is the particular pride of the particular housewife who donates it. And before long what a collection you will have! When all the names have been accounted for, you must get to work and bind the sheets into a book. Vellum makes a good cover, and if a more service able one is desired, ooze leather, pur chased at a leather shop, may be used. Red. leather, lettered in gold or black, looks well, and the . initals of th lucky recipien should be added in one corner.' Just see what delight this gift will bring, and you will, I am sure, feel amply repaid. A cough cure tfcan can be given to childrea without chance of harm is fcemp'i Balsam, the best cough cure. It loes not contain poisons or harmful drugs. Druggists sell it TAKE YOUR CHOICE. Have you ever' almost run into some one on the street, and then! dodged from side to side for half i minute, vainly endeavoring to passj while the other person by soma strange fatality blocked your ever; move by trying to pass you in tb same way? Such was the recent experience o a young man in Portland, Maine. He; and a strange young woman had beed going through this performance for several seconds, when his, unwitting vis-a-vis staggered him by saying: j ''Well, hurry up! Which is it to be; n waltz or a two-step." Woman'sj Home Companion for April. ! A Comprehensive Repentance. I didn't mean to do it; I surely meant it well, Nor knew you wouldn't like it, But how was I to tell? I didn't need to do it, r But I didn't know it then, I'll ne'er do so again. ' Harper's Weekly. How to Avoid Appendicitis. . Most victims ; of appendicitis are those who are habitually constipated.

Va, writes; "Lwas a sufferer' from kidney disease, so that at times 1 could , not get out of bed, and when 1 did 1 could not stand straight I took Foley's Kidney Cure. One dol lar' bottle and part of the second cured me entirely." Foley's Kidney Cure- works ' wonders where others are total failures. T. F. Laurin Owl Drug Store. "I'm not sure," said Miss Plaine, "that you're just the photographer I'm looking for. I've been told you do very handsome work and make very pretty pictures" "Yes," interrupted the photographer eagerly, "but I can give you an exact likeness if you wish." Philadelphia Press. AN INSIDIOUS DANGER. One of the worst features of kidney trouble is-that ft is an insidious dis ease and before the victim realizes his danger-he may have a fatal mal ady.
