THE STUMPAGE PROBLEM. The presence, "and quest, of L. F. Hawley, Ph. D., of the forestry service of the federal Department of Agricul ture, in Astoria, is of vital and entic ing concern to the people of the Northwest and especially of this sec tion He comes to ascertain, by scien tific research, the exact qualities and quantities of commercial by-products contained in the stumpage woods of the west and to arrange, through the Chambers of Commerce of the land, for their marketing. It has been demonstrated in the Middle West that the forest stumps are of exact and appreciable value for their by-products reduced to useable form of chemical processes, and the doctor is simply extending his pro fessional inquiries to the vast fields of the Pacific Coast clearings. He is a welcome visitor, and the further he goes and the more he demonstrates, the wider and deeper will be his wel come. The idea of bringing the stump lands of the Northwest within the range of feasible clearance and actual value in a commercial way, will solve one of the oldest and profoundest problems of the district; and when it is known that it can be done, at prac tically no cost to the owner, or at a small bonus at most, it will sink in to the quickened consciousness of the Northwestern timberman and farmer and react to their enhanced education and fiduciary uplift in notable fashion. Every encouragement should be lent to this officer and his pursuit, and we hope to see the matter focussed to the point where the last man in interest shall be drawn into the enterprise voluntarily and with that degree of success that shall put the now burd ened and profitless lands of the terri tory in such shape that they may be used for agriculture without the heart breaking and life-wearing alternative of hand-clearance. When Dr. Hawley shall call a con vention in this behalf, it will be round ly attended, when and wheresoever it may be held. m - .... . I I - V ' N-v,.. But keep both ' eyes wme opem Many thousand people have winked at the grocer during the past ten days. In response they have re ceived a generous sample of Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes. And they were delighted. It gave them an idea of how delicious a breakfast food could be. Over 1 00 men were engaged to issue the invitations and see that all grocers were supplied with "wink ammunition. 8 The result was a most phenomenal demand for the new breakfast food. We venture to say that fully one half the people of the city had Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes for breakfast this morning. And most of them will continue to enjoy it for breakfast. But every great success has imitators. The real purpose of this advertising campaign is to guard you against substitution; we want to im- imsn iiAiif mini4 (Via itnma I Xr&fXnf9&X ' familiarize you with the package and signature of rtftfdfyp and thoroughly acquaint you with i delicious flavor of the genuine Kellogg's Toas Corn Flakes. For they may imitate the box they may copy name, but they cannot copy the Flavor. It's the flavor that won its favor. It will win ; favor and it will hold it. So when you want the Toasted Corn Flakes, be sure and call for and Insist on getting the GENUINE MM MIX I 11 Ml C This signature identifies the genuine DO THE RIGHT THING, RIGHTLY!. We desire it to be understood of all men that the Morning Astorian is no stumbling-block to civic enterprise norto quasi-public, or private ven tures of any sort, so long as the right thing is done, rightly, at all points where the public interest touches or hovers. We have no wish to impede anything that makes for expansion and prosperity; but we pro pose to urge the best and safest rules of action in every instance where the municipal and county franchises and privileges are sought. The day has come when the reck less and uncompensated gift of public easement and high-privilege has be come an unpardonable offense; the people are becoming jealous of their rights and their property and know the real value of their franchises; they are tired of being throttled by the men who have grown rich off the generous and thoughtless extrava gance that moved the public trustees in the past to give away the very fun dament of the corporate fortunes of the land; they are harking back to first principles and demanding tangi ble and measureable compensation on all sides; and the council or commis sion that fails to secure this indemni fication, fails in its office and duty, and will certainly hear of it. The action of the ways and means committee of the Astoria council in amending the gas main franchise sought by the Astoria Fuel Company so as to fix the reversionary right of the people, for their proper compen sation for the gift, and in eii iii i r;ii -v7-"it, m. m i a - i i i i 111 m 111 i 1 1 i w m a J S liV ll VI MMU9 VVh rational limitations on its operation, is to be commended to its last detail; and it is hoped the policy of precau tion will prevail, unvaryingly, through out the future, in the handling of the peoples' vested and valuable proper ties. We would deny the Astoria Fuel Company nothing. But we pro pose that it and all other beneficiaries of this public, shall realize their obli gations to the people; since the obli gations are not all of one origin in cases of ths kind. EXIT, EVANS?. NEVER!. The rules of the naval service may retire Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans from active service, but no law of man can retire him from the hearts of his American fellows!. His place there is immutable!. He goes to the quieter field of official life from the very apex of his popularity, and at the close of one of the most masterly professional achievements of his career and day. From the hour the nation first heard of him down in Valparaiso Bay, with the spunky little Yorktown, defying the fleets and forts of Chili in defense of the honor and safety of the Ameri can consulate to the hour of yesterday when he resigned his superb com mand to his friend, Rear Admiral Thomas, this man has been installed in the national consciousness as one of its best and truest types; courage ous, wise, dependable, loyal, with the fierce frankness of the warrior and the perfect poise of the cultured repre sentative of his country, the sane and indomitable American officer and gentleman!! And he who thinks he has heard the last of this man, will do well to bide the future with an ear to the ground establishing. that borders upon the high-seas!.

Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to know that Chamber lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become perma nent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in th weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief , from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many time its cost. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by Frank Hart and Leading Druggists.
