Cooper's theory regarding the human stomach is rapidly becoming a topic of universal discussion. Cooper claims that the human stomach has become chronically deranged by mod ern conditions, and that sickness gen erally is the result. , ' in a recent interview, while intro ducing his medicine in a leading city, Mr. Cooper sad: "There, is just one way, in my opinion, to maintain gen eral health, and that is by buildyig up the digestive organs. The vast ma jority of Americans today have weak, flabby, distended stomachs. This has been caused by many generations of over-feeding and lack of exercise, until today the entire civilized race is affected. This is the true cause of most of the ill health of today. Little can be done to relieve it until the stomach is once more brought to normal conditions. "I am successful because my prep aration puts the stomach in sound condition, and as I maintain this is A SEATTLE GIRL WINS. Miss Genevieve Johnstone, of Seattle, 1 Wins the Ghirardelli Limerick '"The reader of this publication will no doubt recall an interesting adver tisement which appeared during the month of February, in which the D.

Thousands of replies were received from all over the West, many of them very clever, but, aftr a careful exami nation ,of all the lines submitted it was decided by the committee that the best was that sent in by Miss Genevieve Johnstone of 12061 Howell street, Seattle, who was accordingly awarded the full prize of $93.

M. Howey, of 471 De Russey street, Binghamton, N. Y., who says: "I had stomach trouble for about six years. After eating, I would become bloated and have a distressed feeling for sev eral hours. This would be accom panied by heartburn, and I reached the point where I could not enjoy my meals at all. "I tried different remedies in an effort to find relief, but without suc cess. After taking three bottles of Cooper's New Discovery I am en tirely cured. My stomach does not bother me in the least, and I can eat anything I like. I can cheerfully rec ommend Mr. Cooper's medicine to anyone afflicted with stomach com plaints." Mr. Cooper's medicines are making a remarkable record. We sell them. Charles Rogers & Son.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (Incorporated) COMMERCIAL BODY MEETING HELD IN ODD FELLOWS HALL -BRICK COMPANY ORGAN IZED MILITARY COMPANY HAS ALMOST ENOUGH. The regular session of the Chamber of Commerce was hold In Odd Fel lows' hall last night with Vice-Presi dent Wingate in the chair. The min utes of the last rrleeting were read and approved. Under a suspension of the rules B. J. Sloop was elected to membership. Secretary Whyte's report was full of the progress of the many different projects with which the Chamber is crowded and was listened to with earnest attention. There was a very large attendance and a number of young men were there to hear City Attorney Abcr crombie expound on the subject of forming a company . of the National Guard. He stated the age limit which is between 18 and 35 a fact which made som of those present realize their inability to sign the petitions. The chair stated that anyone who was present and wished to join could do so after the meeting adjourned. Mr. Ahercrombie said he already had about 40 names enrolled. The rate question was brought up and during the discussion the tact was made known that the rate on grain and hay hal been raised within few days. Manager Whyt s re port said in part: . The reports made by the manager at each regular meeting are for the purpose of letting the members know as well as possible what has been done in the office by the Promotion Com mittee during the two weeks since the preceeding meeting. The Astoria Clay Product Co. The Astoria Clay Product Co. is now a thing or reality, the same hav- ing been financed and incorporated on last Thursday afternoon. It will be located just at the upper end of the street car line. The matter of financ ing was an easy task, the necessary stock being placed after only a few hours' inquiry and mainly through the work of Norris Staples who has from the first taken a leading interest; in this proposition which promises great things for the future. The Charter was drawn up by Judge Bowlby and sent to Salem and this afternoon the directors were named from the largest stockholders. The entire task of pro motion from start to finish was made easy by the p"ersisten hard work done by Mr. Lew Ogan who is the largest stockholder and who will be the per manent manager of the institution. Those who have had occasion to know most about his operations in this city have the highest opinions of his integrity, ability and general character. I predict that if his in stitution is half of the success I think it will be that he will speedily become one of the leading men of this city and that long before he reaches the zenith of his career he will become one oC the wealthiest, At the last meeting of this organi zation Mr. Staples and Mr. Ogan were appointed a .committee to go at the expense of this organization to Portland and have some of the brick Mr. Ogan had made out of our clays, tested. The tests were for crushing strength and were made in the office of Col. Roesscler, United States cn gineer, and the result was most grat ifying, the test showing that tt took more weight by more than 500 pounds to crush then it tdfck to crush any other brick ever made in this state. It was that -test perhaps which made the task of financing the company such an easy one. .- ' Mr. Ogan already has three expert men at work on the site of the plant preparing for the machinery and has written for two more. The plan is if possible.to have the brick turned out in readiness for the building of the new hotel by the last of July. - If it is possible this task will be accom- iilidipfl. The homemade brick will be given preference. Already Mr. Ogan, is planning with the Promotion Committee the con struction of a fancy pressed brick building at the4eattle Fair to be used as a club house for the members of the Chamber of Commerce. It will also be used as an -exhibit building for Clatsop County. ,The building will be one of, the mosuattractive, ac cording to his plans, ever made for any exposition purposes, And it will be a home for those of otir members who attend the "Seattle Fair next sum lner. It will at the same time be the best possible advertisement for, the shale and high-class clay products of Clatsop County, than which tere is none higher, This Astoria Clay Product Co. is the first tangible achievement of the Promotion Committee for this year, April being the first month of the Chamber of Commerce fiscal year. It would seem that with this good start afforded by the hard work done last year, that other achievements of no less merit be expected from month to month during the present year. The Chautauqua Association planned for Clatsop Beach seems to be on the very point of materialising, and in deed we may be able to announce this almost any week. We are making pro gress slowly on the oil and gas and coal boring proposition but will be able to accelerate the plans for that proposition very materially as soon as we secure the necessary leases which always are a matter of good promises, tmt so tar too elusive 10 oe reduced to a written contract. Of course if the ground 'cannot be leased there will be no boring done. As there is nothing but land in this coun ty there should be no trouble in get ting the lease and we will get them, although just how soon it is impos sible to say. I propose to give all my time to that matter however that can possible be spared away from the many other duties , -which dcvelope upon me in the office, now that the terracotta plant is able to' take care of itself. The cost of the clay test which we have made through Mr. Ogan, and which has resulted in the establishing of the Astoria Clay Product Co. was $162.67. Mr. Ogan has suggested that the Chamber of Commerce be given credit for this much stock in his company or for this amount of brick to go into new Chamber of Commerce build irg. A New Chamber of Commerce Building. Now that the Astoria Clay Product Company is a thing of reality, it is an interesting and by no means in definite possibility that we may have a new Chamber of Commerce Build ing to be made out of our own high class pressed brick and terracotta. I have already consulted with two in tcrests and plan has been outlined which would be ample in every detail to finance the construction of a new Chamber of Commerce Building at once, but the plan has not yet been examined by any of the officers or committees of this organization to see whether or not it could be ap proved. The plan' however contem plates, a six story building 50 by 100 feet. As the question of a new arm ory is to be taken up at this meeting it may be that in case the new armory proves a successful issue that it could be made to fit in admirably with the suggested new Chamber of Com mercc building. Dr. L. F. Hawley to Come. . After considerable correspondence with Secretary Wilson of the Agir cultural Department the Promotion Committee has succeeded in getting Dr. L. E. Hawley, the expert on wood by-products, to promise to . . - ,.r come to Astoria ror me pirpusc i setting on foot the best possible plans for the clearing off of stump lands! that is, cut-over lands. Dr. Hawley has not yet set the date of his coming to Astoria, but has stated that he would start, West on the first of May and that soon after that . tunc he would reach Astoria, letting u know as far in advance of his coining as possible o that we may have Govern or Chamberlain and as many of the members of the next legislature hero at the same time, if such an arrange ment can be made. We want to see whether or not we can secure some state aid if a plan can be formulated for clearing off stumps; This momcmcnt is being undertaken by the leading citizens in the State of Washington and there is no reason why Oregon should trail ill the pro cession, whatever that procession may be. We would like to have present at this meeting as many of the owners and interested parties in stump lands as possible and will give the meeting the largest possible, amount of pub licity. We would especially like to have Senator -Fulton here at this meeting but presume that will be im possible, unless indeed the meeting should occur late enough in the month of May to have allowed Con gress to adjourn. ' The Trip Across the Bar. -We have taken up the proposition of running a large passenger steamer out of the mouth of the river to allow the citizens of Astoria and Oregon generally so far as , they can, be ac commodated the opportunity of wit nessing the great naval fleet in motion as it passes on its way to Puget Sound The arangements are as well injhand as they can be and now the imain thing to consider is liow many tick ets' will the members of the Chamber of Commerce desire, and how many will the citizens of Astoria gnerally want. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has asked for one hundred and we have reserved that many for them with the statement that a stilt We have just received a shipment ' of very finest EASTERN OREGON Yellow Newtown Pippins An apple of fine flavor, very crisp ' and juicy.
